Notoriously insensitive to subtle shifts in mood, children will persist in discussing the color of a recently sighted cement-mixer long after one’s interest in the topic has waned.

Obama was the best president of my lifetime, but a lot of Democrats don’t seem to know that.
The influence of GOP media has a long reach. In subtle ways, such as language and framing, it seeps into everything from the New York Times to liberal social media. It seems to have convinced a number on the left that Obama was evil.

Three Cherenkov telescopes of the LST class are currently being built on the island of La Palma - one already exists. Eventually there will be four LSTs. With a mirror diameter of 23 meters they specialize in observations of low-energy gamma radiation. Along with several middle-sized telescopes planned for this site, there will be more telescopes of different sizes in Chile. Together, they form the Cherenkov Telescope Array: We 'll keep you posted!
Wilhelmina Barns-Graham - Sea Waves and Currents ‘Surge’ 1978
One of my favourite artists. I am constantly making new finds in her work. Now that I live near the sea and spend some time looking at it I can fully appreciate the amount of time she spent observing and recording it.
📐En direct du studio d’art, les élèves de CM2 imaginent des illusions d’optique pour créer des dessins qui semblent avoir une profondeur ou un mouvement.📏Grâce à cette activité d'art: Créer une "illusion", les élèves ont appris comment le cerveau traite les informations visuelles qu’il reçoit de l’œil.👁️🧠

@ctietze@dimsumthinking So this is actually a #SwiftUI + #Observation thing I've been wondering about this week. There doesn't seem to be a replacement for @StateObject!
Yes, there is @State, but @State specifically doesn't have the delayed init behaviour of @StateObject. Instead (while the first object in the View state sticks), it gets recreated (and thrown away) on every View refresh.

P.S.: State is still a property wrapper, not a macro.
The #Canadian 🇨🇦 #Minerals and #Metals Plan 📆 2019 : #SpaceMining refers to the use of raw materials from #asteroids or #planetary bodies. Early action from #Canada regarding mining new frontiers would demonstrate leadership, signal that Canada welcomes innovation and investment, and support the transfer of technology between sectors. The #SpaceSector is one of Canada’s most R&D intensive.
Mining in northern, remote, and isolated communities and in #space 🌌 face common challenges related to exploration, infrastructure development, and operating in harsh and remote environments. The minerals sector is taking advantage of #SpaceSolutions such as #robotics, remote sensing, and aerial and earth #observation technologies to create safer, cleaner and more efficient operations. https://natural-resources.canada.ca/sites/nrcan/files/CMMP/CMMP_The_Plan-EN.pdf
Observation: in the USofA, there's a lot more restrictions on where you serve alcohol compared to Quebec & Europe, but, when they do serve, you can expect 12oz glasses of wine... #travel#observation#culture#alcohol
#Observation is one of the foundations of #science. When observing a new fact, we always compare it with a control, a witness or a standard and every conclusion is relative to our references. Sometimes I think we need to remember that and understand that certain things are #incomparable.
"Here we publish a statement from La Cinètika, an autonomous centre in Barcelona that was a target of this violence. Solidarity with the survivors. Mort a l’estat policial.."
Neuer Spitzelfall in Spanien: Polizeispionin in Girona enttarnt
"Nach den drei enttarnten Polizeibeamten in #Barcelona und #Valencia, die jahrelang im Auftrag des Staates Personen aus verschiedenen sozialen Bewegungen ausgeforscht hatten, wurde nun ein neuer Spitzelfall in Girona (Katalonien) aufgedeckt. Eine Polizistin hatte dort drei Jahre lang soziale Bewegungen infiltriert.
(...)
Maria I.T. ist inzwischen das vierte Mitglied der spanischen Nationalpolizei, das von der katalanischen Zweiwochenzeitung „La Directa“ als Spionin enttarnt werden konnte. Ihre Spionagemission konzentrierte sich auf die katalanische Unabhängigkeitsbewegung, antirassistische Initiativen sowie auf Bewegungen für sozialen Wohnraum. Während der gesamten Zeit unterhielt sie eine Liebesbeziehung zu einem Aktivisten aus Girona."
