The Post-Election US

The US would be more divided. Injustice would reign like kings. Crisis would increase in the Arab world as Netanyahu of Israel would unleash more anger against against Hezbollah, with Trump assisance.   Africa would suffer higher setbacks economically and booed.  Ukraine amy accept defeat in the war with Russia, as aides from the United States may stop very soon.  Life would be tougher for undocumented immigrants in the United states..  Obamacare act would be abolished. The US seniors and the middle would wail. Tax would be cut for the investment class and the job market would boom in the second quarter of the 2025.  There would be hay days of racism inspired by the Trump-leaning Americans.  Feminist movement would sprout again into the 4th wave, the US Congress would consider to debate new affirmation action against male chauvinism

Process vs Algorithm

Processes and algorithms operate similarly but are not the same.  What is the difference? The difference between process and algorithm can be thought of as follows: 1. Process: A process is a sequence of steps or actions taken to achieve a particular outcome. It is often broader and can involve various resources, inputs, and outputs, and it might not be strictly defined. Processes are common in real-world scenarios where they may involve steps that are not precisely defined, such as human tasks, decision-making, or actions that rely on subjective judgment. 2. Algorithm: An algorithm, in contrast, is a specific, step-by-step set of instructions designed to perform a particular task or solve a defined problem. Algorithms are well-defined, with each step clearly specified to produce a consistent result. Algorithms are commonly associated with computing and mathematics, as they provide a clear, logical sequence that a computer or person can follow to achieve an outcome. Example: Process: T

We should have learned from the World War II

World War II and the destruction of the old order should have serve all of us as lesson at this time, given the genocide in Gaza and Hezbollah attacks on Israel. Approximately 60 million people lost their lives as a direct result of the war, fully two-thirds of them noncombatants.  The war’s losers, the Axis states of Germany, Japan, and Italy, suffered more than 3 million civilian deaths; their conquerors, the Allies, suffered far more: at least 35 million civilian deaths.  An astonishing 10 to 20% of the total populations of the Soviet Union, Poland, and Yugoslavia perished, between 4 and 6% of the total populations of Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Japan, and China.  If the exact toll of this wrenching global conflagration continues to defy all efforts at statistical precision, the magnitude of the human losses it claimed surely remains as shockingly unfathomable two generations after World War II as it was in the conflict’s immediate aftermath. At war’s end, much of the European

Affordance

 We live in a world filled with objects, many natural, the rest artificial. Every day we encounter thousands of objects, many of them new to us. Many of the new objects are similar to ones we already know, but many are unique, yet we manage quite well.  Learn more at the Ransford Global Insitute  How do we do this? Why is it that when we encounter many unusual natural objects, we know how to interact with them? Why is this true with many of the artificial, human-made objects we encounter? The answer lies with a few basic principles. Some of the most important of these principles come from a consideration of affordances.  The term affordance refers to the relationship between a physical object and a person (or for that matter, any interacting agent, whether animal or human, or even machines and robots). An affordance is a relationship between the properties of an object and the capabilities of the agent that determine just how the object could possibly be used.  Learn more at the Ransf

Attitude

Attitude is a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically reflected in a person's behavior. It encompasses one's beliefs, feelings, and predispositions to act in certain ways towards objects, people, events, or situations.  Learn more at the Ransford Global Insitute    Attitudes can be positive or negative and can significantly influence how individuals interact with their environment and make decisions. Īn the animal world, the lion's attitude of confidence, dominance, and fearlessness is crucial in its role as a top predator. This attitude is reflected in the lion's behavior of hunting and eating animals that are often larger and more powerful than itself.  Lions exhibit boldness and confidence, essential traits for tackling large and potentially dangerous prey. They show resilience by not giving up easily during hunts, which can be strenuous and risky. Lions demonstrate fearlessness, attacking animals that could pose a threat to them. The
