![]() When asked directly, participants, regardless of the mascot they saw, reported no differences in how warlike they thought Native Americans were.īut when participants completed an indirect – or implicit – stereotype measure, those who’d viewed the Native American mascot were more likely to associate warlike qualities with Native Americans. We then measured how strongly all participants associated Native Americans with “warlike,” a stereotype leveraged by many sports teams that use Native mascots (“Braves,” “Warriors”). In our lab, we showed participants an unfamiliar mascot some were shown a Native American image, while others were shown an image of an animal. Perhaps more disturbingly, people aren’t even aware that this subtle reinforcement is taking place. ![]() Our research has shown that incidental exposure to Native American sports mascots can reinforce stereotypes in people. The “sticks and stones” argument suggested by the poll makes complete sense from a self-preservation standpoint after all, Native Americans have had to persevere through worse offenses than mascots.īut that stance ignores the dangerous possibility that such ethnic names and imagery affect how other people view Native Americans – possibly in subtle and damaging ways. Since then, defenders of the name – including team owner Daniel Snyder – have considered the controversy over and done with. Perhaps it’s due to the Washington Post survey from last spring finding that 90 percent of the Native Americans polled weren’t offended by the Redskins name. 12, there was hardly a mention of the name controversy that has, in recent years, elicited boycotts, lawsuits and protests. But as the Redskins kicked off their season on Sept. Others have argued that these mascots are harmless if anything, they symbolize reverence and respect, while honoring the history of Native Americans.Īt the epicenter of the debate have been the Washington Redskins, a football team worth nearly US$3 billion. For years, many have said that sports teams with Native American mascots – the Cleveland Indians, Chicago Blackhawks and Florida State Seminoles, to name a few – perpetuate stereotypes against Native people.

![]() These snakes have an incredibly wide distribution. They are particularly fond of farms and agricultural areas, which typically have a large population of rats and mice. Outside of living as a pet, boas also live in close proximity to humans in the wild. You can also commonly find them near riparian areas – which are regions alongside rivers and lakes. ![]() In the wild, they prefer the edges of rainforests, but they also occupy grasslands, scrublands, woodlands, and even semi-arid regions. This species lives in a variety of different ecosystems. In fact, they are actually beneficial because they eat rats and mice that spread disease! In reality, these boas do not pose a danger to humans.

In light of differences between these surveys and their sampling limitations, CAWP’s analyses of gender and voting behavior in 2020 consider trends across these surveys and findings from Latino Decisions, recognized for its more sophisticated and robust sampling of racial minority voters and a methodology that includes greater respondent access to multi-lingual surveys than the Edison exit poll, and the Cooperative Election Study (CES).Murphy also acknowledged how close he’d come to joining Jon Corzine and James Florio as single-term Democratic governors. In 2020, for the first time in nearly two decades, major media outlets relied on more than one election survey to analyze voter behavior in the presidential election: Edison Research’s national exit poll and the Associated Press’ VoteCast (conducted by NORC). While not presented here, exit polls conducted by ABC News/ Washington Post and NBC News showed gender gaps of similar magnitude to those evident in the CBS/New York Times polls. From 1980 to 1988 major media outlets conducted separate exit polls. All CBS/ New York Times exit poll data from 1980, 1984, and 1988 is archived at Cornell University’s Roper Center.

In contrast, a large majority of Black, Latinx, and Asian women have supported the Democratic candidate for the entirety of the time period in which data disaggregated by gender and race has been available. However, a majority of white women have voted for the Republican candidate since the 2000 presidential election when white women were almost equally split between Democrat Al Gore and Republican victor, George W. Across white, Black, Latinx, and Asian American voters, women are more likely than men to report voting for the Democratic candidate. In 2020, a majority of women favored the Democratic victor, Joe Biden, while a majority of men voted for the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.ĭata illustrate that women are not a monolithic voting bloc. Moreover, women and men have favored different candidates in presidential elections since 2000, with the exception of 2008 when men were almost equally divided in their preferences for Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain. ![]() ![]() In every presidential election since 1996, a majority of women have preferred the Democratic candidate. The “women’s vote” is the percentage point advantage that one candidate has over the other among women voters- that is, the difference in support for the major party candidates among women voters only. The magnitude of the gender gap has ranged in size from four to twelve points since 1980. In every presidential election since 1980, a gender gap has been apparent, with a greater proportion of women than men preferring the Democrat in each case. Even when women and men favor the same candidate, they may do so by different margins, resulting in a gender gap.

…īecause of her opposition to Trump and her outspokenness in confronting sexism and nationalism in the evangelical world, Moore has been labeled as “liberal” and “woke” and even as being a heretic for daring to give a message during a Sunday morning church service. Moore’s criticism of the 45th president’s abusive behavior toward women and her advocacy for sexual abuse victims turned her from a beloved icon to a pariah in the denomination she loved all her life. She also fulfilled other unwritten rules for popular women’s speakers on the Christian circuit: She was attractive, slim, married and a mom. Let’s begin with the actual RNS story, which begins with how Moore was considered the model Southern Baptist because of her powerful Bible studies that ministered to millions, but didn’t cross paths with the denomination’s strictures against women preaching. Rather, it’s become a judgment on an entire denomination about how it’s handled women’s issues, sexual abuse and former President Donald Trump. ![]() Why? Because it’s not just about one celebrity Christian pulling up the stakes. Since then, the news has been pounced on by the religion-writing teams at the New York Times and Washington Post, industry publications such as Christianity Today and a variety of Southern Baptist outlets. Moore was fleeing the ship and Smietana was the lucky scribe who got to break the story. ![]() According to several of his tweets, a spokeswoman for the sometimes reclusive Moore called him, asking if he’d like an interview. Naturally, he wondered if there was more to it. Someone (there?) tipped him off about a March 3 tweet by Lifeway’s biggest author, Beth Moore, saying she had cut her ties with the organization. Smietana had spent several years writing for the Southern Baptist-owned Lifeway Research. ![]() On the heels of that story was an exposé on Christian finance guru Dave Ramsey written by Bob Smietana, the former Religion News Service editor-in-chief-turned-national-reporter.

Without a partner to assist, Dave asks Dude to help him with his plan, but at first Dude is hesitant as he previously got arrested for working with him, but eventually accepts. When Dude gets there, Dave tells him that he is in debt and needs to work out a plan to get the money to pay it off. He gets a letter from his Uncle Dave, inviting him to a party taking place at his compound. A man known only as "Dude" begins living on the edge after he gets insulted and ridiculed at a job interview, and catches his wife cheating on him on several occasions. The film takes place in Paradise, Arizona. In the struggle, the terrorists try and reason with the passengers, but to no avail, and ultimately, the plane inadvertently flies into the North tower of the World Trade Center. At this moment, however, the passengers of the plane storm the cockpit and attempt to retake the plane (this was based on what happened on Flight 93, one of the other hijacked aircrafts during 9/11). Osama tells them that there "are not enough virgins to go around", and upon hearing this, the two hijackers abandon the attack in dismay and happily change their flight path to the Bahamas. After a long debate, they decide to call Osama bin Laden, their leader, to find out the exact amount. The film begins with a prologue, showing Asif and Nabi, a fictional portrayal of two of the Flight 11 hijackers during the 9/11 attacks, debating about the amount of virgins they get as a reward for carrying out the attacks. ![]() A mysterious unknown individual is also seen just out of shot on the far right side.Īround 1850, Zepheniah bought a large amount of land on the United States by petition of Redmond and Blutarch, to expand the munitions business.

The remaining Mann brothers grew up without knowledge of their missing brother. Zepheniah ordered the baby to be smothered, but he was abducted by an eagle during the "Great Eagle Scourge of 1822". Though Redmond and Blutarch were perfectly normal, Gray was underweight, and had learned to talk inside the womb. His wife, Bette, gave birth to three sons on September 2nd of 1822 Redmond, Blutarch and Gray, but died in childbirth. Zepheniah Mann was the owner and proprietor of Mann & Sons Munitions Concerns – which also went by the name of Zepheniah Mann & Sons Co., but is better known by the name of Mann Co. The Mann family's backstory begins in the 19th century with the wealthy Englishman, Zepheniah Mann. 10 Alternate universe/spin-off timeline.7.4 Darling’s team: Saxton Hale and Maggie.THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. The illusion-as in motion pictures in general-is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. This Summary Report provides an overview of our research findings."ĪNIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. Both surveys sought information about the nature of participant UGC practices, opinions about UGC, and motivations for creating UGC. Another survey was taken of 46 video game industry professionals, including game developers. One survey was taken of a population of 411 video game players. The research team conducted two online surveys. ![]() The collected samples were then described along several dimensions, including an analysis of the potential copyright implications of each item sampled. The team sampled the outputs of thirty content populations on sixteen distinct platforms. The research team employed random sampling to obtain snapshots of UGC production on a range of UGC platforms, including photo-sharing sites, a 3-D printing site, sites for sharing visual artwork, and a variety of game-related UGC sites. The Player-Authors Project provides two forms of data: 1. The motivation for the project was the relative absence of data about the copyright status of most UGC and competing claims about UGC’s predominant nature. The project used empirical methods to investigate how contemporary user-generated content (“UGC”) platforms and practices related to United States copyright law. "The Player-Authors Project was a yearlong research project funded by the National Science Foundation. ![]() People have tried, apparently, but nobody at ETS will provide feedback (apparently, the “E-rater” has not yet evolved to this level of sophistication). ![]() ETS offers a service to grade your GRE AWA essays.

The links to the sample essays are included below. Instead, have a look at the AWA scoring guidelines from ETS. a 5.0? For me to really answer that it would take at least several pages, including example essays. So what exactly does it mean to get a 3.0 vs. Indeed, the vast majority of students fall between a 3.0 and a 5.0. You may think I’m jesting with the 0.0, but really I’m not: those essays are deemed “Ungradeable.” Hence, very few students end up getting a 0.0, or, for that matter, a score below a 2.0. A 6.0 is a consistently insightful and well-crafted essay, running a good 80-plus lines. What exactly does it mean to get a 0.0, or for that matter a 6.0 on GRE Analytical Writing? Well, a 0.0 means you fell asleep, your forehead planted firmly on the keyboard, an endless series of gobbledygook forming on screen. Here’s what else you need to know about, “How is GRE writing scored?” Let’s hope that such a day never comes, the day in which admission to a top-notch grad school hangs in the precarious balance of a robot grader. That is not to say that one day the two human graders will emerge from their dark rooms as anachronisms (as far as GRE essay grading goes). At least for now, HAL has not completely taken over - the “E-rater” serves only as a check on human error. Your final score is calculated by taking the two essays, averaging them, and then rounding the result to fit on the half point scale. If the “E-rater’s” score differs by 1.5 points or more from the human grader’s score, then a second human grader will look at your essay, the master grader–who, presumably, resides in an even darker room. While it may seem that HAL, the diabolical talking computer from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, has been unleashed to wreak grading havoc on your essays, the “E-rater” is only used as a second “grader” to ensure that the human grader isn’t napping at the job. Over the course of the last decade or so, ETS has developed–and it would say refined–the “E-rater”, an automated essay grader. This next part sounds a little nefarious - so hold onto your seats. The grader is typically a university literature/writing professor who, according to ETS, has undergone rigorous training in order to qualify. In a mere thirty seconds, that person must award a score from a 0.0 – 6.0, based on 0.5 increments.

The topics you see on your test will be drawn from those pools, so this is an essential resource. Good news! ETS publishes the entire pools of Issue topics and Argument topics on its site. The position is provided in a paragraph, and thus requires a little more reading than the Issue task. The Argument, by contrast, asks you to dissect the logic behind a position. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on the assumptions and what the implications are if the assumptions prove unwarranted. Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Therefore, Supercorp clearly made the best decision. Finally, Corporateville has lower taxes than Middlesburg, making it not only a safer place to work but also a cheaper one.

Once sacred guardians, they were now heretics, hunted and hated everywhere they went. Recognizing the fulfillment of prophecy, the Sidhe refused to follow in the worship of D'Sparil and thus they were set apart from the other people of the world. Once all of the seven realms were theirs, the two eldest Riders departed, leaving D'Sparil alone to prepare the world for destruction. The deeper into reverence of the Riders' dark ways they fell, the more they were sapped of their free will and spirit. Upon the temple was the Sign, a crossed trident, and the worshippers came to call themselves the Order of the Sign. Soon the men of the seven nations turned to their worship and built a great temple in their honor. They were great sorcerers, and they demonstrated their power by quelling the wars of the eastern provinces. The Sidhe believed in a prophecy of Armageddon, and their prophecy ultimately proved itself true when from the east came the three terrible Serpent Riders cloaked in black. It was these elves who kept the Tomes of Power and the sacred candle flames which eternally burned to represent the armies of the world. ![]() The world of Parthoris was populated by many people who divided themselves into seven great nations, as well as the mystic Sidhe elves.

Players took the role of a nameless Elven hero (given the name Corvus in Heretic II) whose race, the Sidhe, was nearly annihilated by a horde of evil monsters from another dimension. A later, expanded commercial release as Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders was distributed to retail stores by GT Interactive.
