    •   之前被认为是稳健派的中国外交官的态度也开始变得旁若无人。上个月中旬,作为联合国事务次官的中国驻联合国最高级别的官员,在奥地利举行的与联合国秘书长的晚宴上喝醉了,然后口吐狂言:“我知道你不喜欢我。但是我也不喜欢你。”“我并不想来(联合国总部所在地)纽约。绝对的不愿意。”

      try white hosue.gov - post by Lin Hill
    • Washington assumed command of the Continental Army in the field at Cambridge, Massachusetts in July 1775,[16] during the ongoing siege of Boston. Realizing his army's desperate shortage of gunpowder, Washington asked for new sources.[citation needed] American troops raided British arsenals, including some in the Caribbean, and some manufacturing was attempted. They obtained a barely adequate supply (about 2.5 million pounds) by the end of 1776, mostly from France.[34] Washington reorganized the army during the long standoff, and forced the British to withdraw by putting artillery on Dorchester Heights overlooking the city. The British evacuated Boston and Washington moved his army to New York City.

    • The 20th century produced three major theories on intelligence. The first, proposed by Charles Spearman in 1904, acknowledged that there are different types of intelligence but argued that they are all correlated—if people tend do well on some sections of an IQ test, they tend to do well on all of them, and vice versa. So Spearman argued for a general intelligence factor called "g," which remains controversial to this day. Decades later, Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner revised this notion with his Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which set forth eight distinct types of intelligence and claimed that there need be no correlation among them; a person could possess strong emotional intelligence without being gifted analytically. Later in 1985, Robert Sternberg, the former dean of Tufts, put forward his Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, which argued that previous definitions of intelligence are too narrow because they are based solely on intelligences that can be assessed in IQ test. Instead, Sternberg believes types of intelligence are broken down into three subsets: analytic, creative, and practical.

    • What Is Intelligence? | Going Mental | Big Think
      • This is the cloud part of the memory similar to Social Neuron
    • "convergence/divergence zones." When we experience something, our neurons create a code to represent a series of disparate facts about the scene or idea that live in different areas of our brains. Recalling specific events or "memories" is actually a process of pulling together these details to essentially reconstruct a version of reality.


    • Takeaway


      Memory isn't like a video or film, faithfully recording a sequence of minute details and storing it all intact. Rather, it's a far more complex procedure, which preserves brain space by filtering out extraneous details while still allowing us to pull together pertinent information about specific events. So a memory is a set of circumstances, details and characteristics strung together—the brain can recreate events by activating specific strings in "convergence/divergence zones" and then accessing all the scattered details attached to the string.


      We begin to lose memories as we age when our brains have too much of certain molecules called beta amyloids. While at low levels these molecules are required for our normal memory system, high levels hurt inter-brain communication.

      • Emerging Issues: Role of Civil Society in Internet Governance

        One of the major recommendations of the WGIG Report was that civil society should have a key role in Internet governance, a role that places civil society as a stakeholder on par with government and the business sector. That’s the theory. In practice, civil society does not seem to be a major stakeholder and these days its significance seems to be paling. Because civil society groups played an important role in the innovative use of the Internet, the concern over the loss is not just a matter of representation on the Internet but also the larger concern over whether future innovations may be stymied. This session aims to explore the question of the role of civil society in Internet governance.
