Cybertronian used to give birth standing or sitting on their knees, letting gravity go it’s job. Then, some rich fuck decided he wanted to see how sparkling were born, and forced many poor bots to give birth on their backs, leg spreads. It soon got popular in the richest circles and now, it’s almost common practice (for all the wrong reasons)

no, just kidding, squatting, on the knees, standing up is hotter.

BLOG PROMPT: Who are you to interpret nature through art? How do you interpret “the gift of beauty”? (Your readings – specifically Chapter 5 of the textbook – will be helpful for this!)

Hello all, I hope you’ve gotten a chance to get outside and enjoy the sun!

Typically, when I think of ‘art’, my mind always goes to paintings and such – which I personally don’t have much of an appeal for, or in the least, not the eye for. But if we take a look at what art really encapsulates and consists of (because it’s certainly more than just paintings), I have forever been drawn to photography and film.

What captivates me most about it is the power a single photograph or film can hold. Photographs can open people’s eyes to things they didn’t know existed or was a problem, or even simply display the beauty of whatever their subject may be. I can think of many instances where photographs and films have changed federal policies, raised thousands of dollars, brought awareness, and captured the hearts of millions. Displaying and highlighting the interconnectedness of us all, we bring people together to take fastidious care of our world and our fellow beings. Just one of many examples, ‘The Terror of War’ (aka., ‘Napalm Girl’) (pictured below), has become a defining photo of the war in Vietnam. The image was seen around the world and had become a symbol for anti-war and American occupation in Vietnam. Or even think of documentaries such as Blackfish, the film that changed the face of an entire industry; opening viewers’ eyes up to the cruelties of animal entertainment companies such as Marine Land and SeaWorld. Following the release of the incredibly moving documentary Blackfish, SeaWorld saw an 84% decrease in income and lost thousands upon thousands of attendees. Protestors took to the streets of Canada and demanded that displaying dolphins, whales, and porpoises be made illegal, resulting in a federal bill to be passed that banned the use of these marine animals for entertainment purposes.

By informing audiences of controversial topics, climate disasters, ethical dilemmas, war-torn countries, species extinctions, and even just the world around them, we can provoke thought and meaning-making to all viewers and audiences. Art of all kinds has the potential to elicit an emotional response to the interpreter’s subject. Opening the hearts and minds of audiences through illustrating our beautiful planet and the marvel of human resilience, we can create radical change and unite people across the globe.

Enjoy the sunshine people!

Talk soon,

three things follow if a developer makes a model’s weights widely available:

A third party can customise outside the developer’s initial scope. Customisation techniques typically require significantly less technical knowledge, resources, and computing power than training a new model from scratch.

The developer gives up control over and visibility into its end users’ actions.

Users can perform computational inference (the process of running live data) using their computational resources, which may be on a local machine or bought from a cloud service. This localisability allows users to leverage models without sharing data with the model’s developers, which can be important for confidentiality and data protection (i.e. healthcare and finance industry)."

Yalta Conference: Yalta, Crimea

The Yalta Conference, held from February 4 to 11, 1945, in Crimea, was a crucial World War II meeting where U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston D. Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin made pivotal decisions regarding the war and the postwar order. The Allied leaders convened with Europe’s victory almost secured but with uncertainty about the war in the Pacific. To gain Soviet support against Japan, Roosevelt and Churchill negotiated with Stalin, promising the Soviets a sphere of influence in Manchuria after Japan’s defeat. This included control over southern Sakhalin, a lease on Port Arthur (now Lüshunkou), involvement in the Manchurian railroads, and the Kurile Islands. This agreement was a key outcome of the conference. The discussions also covered the future of Germany, Eastern Europe, and the United Nations. They agreed on France’s role in postwar German administration and that Germany would bear some reparations responsibility. The U.S. and Britain accepted that Eastern European countries near the Soviet Union should be friendly to Soviet interests, while the Soviets pledged free elections in liberated areas. A declaration on Poland included provisions for Communist participation in its government. For the United Nations, the leaders approved an American plan giving veto power to the five permanent Security Council members, including France. Initially, the Yalta agreements were seen positively, symbolizing continued U.S.-Soviet cooperation. However, this optimism diminished after Roosevelt’s death on April 12, 1945. President Harry S. Truman’s administration soon clashed with the Soviets over Eastern Europe and the UN, leading to criticism of Roosevelt’s negotiations. Critics accused him of conceding too much to the Soviets, despite their own significant concessions. Now looking forward it has now become a museum. Each summer, it also hosts the traditional “Russian Ball,” organized by a Yalta historical dance club.

The University of the Arts in Philadelphia will be closing next week!

With a history dating back nearly 150 years, the university will close for good on June 7, said President Kerry Walk Friday night in a letter obtained by Action News.

"We would have shared this news with you directly, but the Middle States Commission on Higher Education elected to withdraw UArts' accreditation and announce before we could communicate with you," the letter read.

However, the commission reported the university failed to inform the commission of its decision to shut down in timely manner or follow proper protocols."

GenHC 101: Preparing for Success!

By: Wendy Ahedo

As a first gen college student and of course as a freshman, there are many steps to helping your college experience be stress-free, exciting, and informative. You are currently in the phase where you chose your school of choice (Rutgers!), know where you are going to live, registered for your fall semester classes, and now wondering what to do next as soon as it is move-in day. Below I wrote some essentials to make your move-in day and first day of classes to be easy!

1. Dorm essentials: As a freshman, you are going to be doming at the Honors College. It is important to make sure that you keep your RUID and your keys in a safe place where you don’t lose it! I tend to keep in my bag or in lanyard that is hard to misplace. It’s important to make a packing list of essential things you may need such as toiletries, proper clothes, some snacks for late night studying, school supplies, a lamp (for night studying) and so much more; just remember that there are a couple of thing you are not allowed to bring to the dorms so to save you time and money, here is the link to things not allowed in Rutgers dormitories: https://ruoncampus.rutgers.edu/policies#:~:text=our%20prohibited%20items.-,The%20following%20are%20prohibited%20in%20and%20around%20residence%20facilities%3A,%2C%20unapproved%20hot%20pots%2C%20etc Also in this link, are other policy restrictions and approved accommodations to certain situations such as bringing a pet to school so check it out! When moving out, its important to collect anything you may have such as things in your fridges, drawers, desk etc.

2. Transportation: Whether you drive a car or you don’t, there are many ways to make it to you next class. For those with cars, it is important to learn about where to park to prevent yourself from getting a ticket. For those without a car or are choosing not to constantly drive to class, there is the Bus System that Rutgers has to offer. In order to find from point A to B accurately, Below I have the link to bus services showing the times that buses begin to work during the weekdays and weekends and the routes certain letter codes mean. https://ipo.rutgers.edu/dots/buses-nb It is essential to download the Passio.Go app to help you know when the buses are coming since many students are getting on the buses to go to class.

3. Class Preparation: Believe me, I’ve had days where I can be a bit overprepared or underprepared for my class for the day. Here, I have some tips to navigating classes and study times. The FIRST step before classes even begin is to find a planner. Whether a small academic planner on Amazon or using Google Calendar, it is important to have this lifesaver for writing down important dates for appointments, events, and of course, for writing down all your syllabuses of all your classes to ensure that not one assignment goes unseen or forgotten. The next step is packing for bookbag for the day. When using your computer or tablet, ensure that it is charged the night before! You don’t want your tool of taking notes to be unusable, Worst-case scenario, always have your charger in your bag at all times! It is also important to bring writing utensils and a folder, scrap paper and note taking paper in the case where you have no place in charging your computer anywhere. For studying tips, always find a location where it is time to study your courses. Libraries, student centers, computer labs are the best way to go. (Which is another reason why you need to bring your charger for late night studying at the libraries) I know, some libraries close later than others so to check study area hours, check it out over here: https://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/ You can learn about student center by searching on Google “Student Centers Rutgers New Brunswick” and the same with computer labs.

4. Checking Degree Requirements: As a first gen, choosing which classes to take can be confusing and stressful and that’s normal! To receive help with your degree, I would suggest to make an appointment with the HC Advisors and discuss a 4 year plan that you can take. Planning ahead is one of the best things you can do for your future self. To make an appointment with HC Advising, I have the link attached below. https://honorscollege.rutgers.edu/academics/academic-affairs-advising In this link, it also provides the requirement you need to complete your HC requirements. For your specific major, I recommend going to Degree Navigator, typing in your program of study and planning the courses you need with the drop down list of the planned courses. That way, you can check which courses are applicable to you and overall save you time and money on classes you need. Remember that your also has their own requirements, For SAS for example, they have specific core requirements you need to graduate from the school of SAS so you can check it out on their website: https://sasundergrad.rutgers.edu/degree-requirements/core For checking out your courses, check out Degree Navigator in this link: https://cas.rutgers.edu/login?renew=true&service=https://dn.rutgers.edu/Default.aspx/ I know at this point you seem a bit stressed about your degree requirements but do not be afraid to ask questions to the advisors, they are always there to help you!

5. Getting Involved + Working + Self Care:

Whether finding a community that is within the Rutgers campus that tailors to your interests such as cultural clubs, gaming, intramural sports or fellowship, Rutgers has the ability to provide you which organizations are there to help you in this link called Rutgers GetInvolved: https://rutgers.campuslabs.com/engage/ Here, you can see anything your club of interests hosts and the times they are meeting. Don’t be afraid to reach out and sign up for the following events! Here, you can make many new friends and connections.

For me, alongside my classes, honors college, finding time to study and dedicating working out, I also had to prioritize ROTC and working my part time job. The best way to manage all this is making a weekly schedule on a spreadsheet indicating what time is for what, that way you can easily access what you need to do for the day and see if you are prioritizing time for yourself. For example, I know I need to set a realistic, healthy sleep schedule so I put in my weekly schedule the time I should sleep. I also aim to set some time to study what I need to accomplish from my back-to-back classes. Which this set the extra hours are where I do my part time job. If you are looking for a part time job, you can apply through Rutgers Job Search https://jobs.rutgers.edu/  in this link or depending on your field of study (mine is medical) you can contact nearby facilities and professors, to see any open positions to apply to.

As for self-care, fitness and eating right are essential to making sure you feel energized to do all these things for the day. For fitness, you can check out when Rutgers facilities are open until when. For example, the Werblin Gym at Busch has an Olympic pool you can practice swimming in and recreational areas for sports. College Ave Gym has specific hours for the Olympic weightlifting area or for the general workout area that you can check in this link: https://recreation.rutgers.edu/facilities They also host classes for yoga, pilates and more so make sure to check those out as well! For eating, you can check the dining hall menus, special eating accommodations and other places to eat using this link in addition to hours they open and close: http://food.rutgers.edu

Overall college is more than just going to classes to get a degree. I hope this helped ease your stress and chaos as you begin your journey as a first gen college student and as an adult! ;)

Fourth source: https://www.visitsaudi.com/en/do/culture/the-history-of-saudi-s-trade-routes After reading my informational bibliography about Saudi Arabia, I learned that what makes Saudi Arabia special is its culture rooted in Islamic tradition. I additionally learned that the Mecca and Medina (A city) are considered the holiest places in Islamic religion present in Saudi Arabia. I also learned that Saudi Arabia has a variation of geography, including deserts, mountains, and its coastline, which is used as a trade center. These are the reasons why Saudi Arabia is a special place in the world.
