Trigonometric waves as shadows of meta-phenomena in Plato's cave. A rotating spiral when projected in orthogonal dimensions yields distinct phenomena in different dimensions.
More of these plots can be found in The Analytic Impulse by Andrew Duncan: andrewduncan.net/air/
Phase, frequency, and amplitude co-exist as cross dimensional epiphenomena:
These insights could have saved me years of toil mugging up equations in high school and college where I thought algebra and trigonometry to be abstract bullshit. If only I knew signs held insight. What I missed was Maths was modelling life itself. It is a mirror of our universe.
One more video elucidating a helix as a concurrent composition of sine wave and cosine wave:

Excess cars (even excess cleaner cars) have a huge net cost in human and money terms to @greatermcr .. Paradoxically that #includes the God GVA.
@Clivedurdle @Jen_robrien @MrPeteAbel @CleanAirGM @LevyCleanAir @ClientEarth @foemcr @JZCOS @MumsForLungs @uom_meri @headstretcher @ArupGroup @greatermcr Further research and analysis is needed. Many things we know about cars and motor vehicles and their use in GM that #do #not suggest discouraging their use into city and town centres would not be harmful as believed and stated.

Running anywhere in GM is maybe a different Q tho.

We know that in 2011 the car and van ownership/access inside the M60 was about 60% of households. To turn that on its head 40% had no access at all. In some wards there are towards 60% of households with no access at all. @thomasforth has mapped this.

THREAD: I’ve seen this anti-diversity piece floating around (wsj.com/articles/the-d…), and it warrants careful critique.

TL;DR: Kronman’s diversity critique artificially severs identity and experience, strawmans diversity, relies on flawed notions of merit, and overlooks optics.
First, we can’t discuss “diversity” until we define it. Kronman notes two types of academic diversity: (1) having a range of beliefs, values, and experiences on campus; and (2) having a range of races, ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations on campus.
Let’s call diversity #1 (beliefs, values and experiences) “experience diversity” and diversity #2 (race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation) “identity diversity”. Kronman’s thesis is simple: experience diversity is good, and identity diversity is bad.

Who lives, who dies, when you tell your stories?

Or: How I think about dead parents, lovers & friends, both in backstory and in the course of the action. #Meta #Craft

If you’re not familiar with the concept of Fridging, please go here:

I try really hard to never fridge. I don’t kill named characters for other character’s emotional development.
A death, be it in action or backstory, has to be plausible, and while the characters REACT to it, it’s not to cause reaction.
I don’t kill when they become inconvenient.
(Well, except one time, there’s this one character I killed because I was tired of their bullshit & I wanted them dead. I had to make it worth it, despite the mess.
Killing them was inconvenient for me, as writer, but I hated that character, so it was totally worth it.)

This thread is about archaeological artifacts and how we think about them. Heck the first step is to even figure out what to name them. I’m gonna pull out two examples: Athenian ceramic vessels and Paleolithic stone tools to think about “what’s in a name?”
/1
Archaeologists have to deal with all kinds of artifacts. Usually they’re even just fragments of an artifact.

To be honest, a lot of times we can’t really identify these artifacts or how they were used. But, we’ve gotta call them something
/2
Sometimes it seems easy. Take a look at the ceramic objects in the image below. What would you call these objects? And unless you’re already familiar with Greek ceramics, I bet there’s one that you aren’t sure what to call it.

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
