In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Toronto author Teri Vlassopoulos, author of Living Expenses—a timely tale of reproductive health in an age of both technological and geographical distance. The novel has roots in Teri's own struggle with infertility. More about Living Expenses:As the children of a single mother who immigrated from the Philippines, Laura and Claire have always been exceptionally close. That is, until Claire moves to San Francisco for a startup job in Silicon Valley while Laura and her husband remain in Toronto and decide to start a family. Enter the slow, hopeful, devastating process of fertility treatments. While Laura prepares for IVF, Claire has her own encounter with the fertility industry. Living Expenses interrogates the strain that can accompany even the strongest of relationships, and captures the inevitable creep of technology into all facets of its characters' lives, from communication to reproduction. “Vlassopoulos captures the seemingly endless heartbreak, bone-deep frustration, and often invisible emotional strain of infertility with both a realistic and empathetic eye. Living Expenses takes us on Laura's complex journey and illuminates a rarely discussed yet all too common grief, doing so with humanity and heart. A thoughtful, compelling read about the challenges and benefits of holding onto hope.”—Stacey May Fowles, author of Baseball Life Advice About Vlassopoulos: TERI VLASSOPOULOS has published two books, a collection of short stories, Bats or Swallows (Invisible Publishing), which was nominated for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award, and a novel, Escape Plans (Invisible Publishing). Her fiction and non-fiction has been published in Room Magazine, Catapult, The Millions, The Rumpus, The Quarantine Review, Open Book, and more.

Highlighting the bibliographic work of Carolyn Fowler, scholar of African American literature.Written by Howard Rambsy IIRead by Kassandra Timm

What is queer bibliography? How does it intersect with other critical bibliographies, (feminist, Black and liberation bibliography)? How does it relate to traditional bibliographic practice? What opportunities might queer methods and approaches provide? Following the inaugural symposium Queer Bibliography: Tools, Methods, Practices and Approaches in early February 2023 at the Institute of English Studies, hear Sarah Pyke and JD Sargan discuss this emerging subfield with Adam Smyth. Organised by Oxford Bibliographical Society. Speakers, Sarah Pyke (Institute of English Studies, London), and JD Sargan (University of Limerick). Chaired by Adam Smyth (Oxford University).

A discussion of the main points of Kerry Baldwin's article on the plausibility of stateless civil governance and the common difficulty in imagining such a society. We talk about factors that may contribute to the failure of imagination such as the mere-exposure effect, the Overton window, and plausibility structures. Also mentioned are several examples of historically existing non-monopolistic civil governance. Spontaneous order is explained in terms of a consistent sphere sovereignty, and we provide resources on how civil governance can be practically and realistically provided without the state. https://reformedlibertarians.com/012/ 00:00 Start 00:32 Episode description Article discussed https://libertarianchristians.com/2018/05/07/plausibility-of-a-stateless-society/ 01:18 Previous episodes in series 1.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: TAI Safety Bibliographic Database , published by C. Jess Riedel on the AI Alignment Forum. Authors: Jess Riedel and Angelica Deibel Cross-posted to EA Forum In this post we present the first public version of our bibliographic database of research on the safety of transformative artificial intelligence (TAI). The primary motivations for assembling this database were to: Aid potential donors in assessing organizations focusing on TAI safety by collecting and analyzing their research output. Assemble a comprehensive bibliographic database that can be used as a base for future projects, such as a living review of the field. The database contains research works motivated by, and substantively informing, the challenge of ensuring the safety of TAI, including both technical and meta topics. This initial version of the database has attempted comprehensive coverage only for traditionally formatted research produced in 2016-2020 by organizations with a significant safety focus (~360 items). The database also has significant but non-comprehensive coverage (~570 items) of earlier years, less traditional formats (e.g., blog posts), and non-safety-focused organizations. Usefully, we also have citation counts for essentially all the items for which that is applicable. The core database takes the form of a Zotero library. Snapshots are also available as Google Sheet, CSV, and Zotero RDF. (Compact version for easier human reading: Google Sheet, CSV.) The rest of this post describes the composition of the database in more detail and presents some high-level quantitative analysis of the contents. In particular, our analysis includes: Lists of the most cited TAI safety research for each of the past few years (Tables 2 and 3) A chart showing how written TAI safety research output has changed since 2016 (Figure 1). A visualization of the degree of collaboration on TAI safety between different research organizations (Table 4). A chart showing how the format of written research varied between organizations, e.g., manuscripts vs. journal articles vs. white papers (Figure 2). A comparison of the number of citations that different organizations have accumulated (Figure 4). In 2020 we observe a year-over-year drop in technical safety research, but not meta safety research, which we do not understand (Figure 1). We suggest some possible causes, but without a convincing explanation we must caution against drawing strong conclusions from any of our data. If you are interested in building on this work, we encourage you to contact us (or just grab the data from the links above). Please see the section “Feedback & Improvements”. Composition Inclusion & categorization We use "paper" and “item” interchangeably to refer to any written piece of research, such as an article, book, blog post, or thesis. For this initial version of the database, we have divided all papers into two subject areas: technical safety (e.g. alignment, amplification, decision theoretic foundations) and meta safety (e.g., forecasting, governance, deployment strategy). Our inclusion criteria do not represent an assessment of quality, but we do require that the intended audience is other researchers (as opposed to the general public). Our detailed criteria for including and categorizing papers can be found in the Appendix. Safety organizations Where appropriate, papers were associated with one or more of the following organizations that have an explicit focus, at least in part, on the safety of transformative artificial intelligence: AI Impacts, AI Safety Camp, BERI, CFI, CHAI, CLR, CSER, CSET, DeepMind, FHI, FLI, GCRI, GPI, Median Group, MIRI, Open AI, and Ought. We refer to all these as “safety organizations” hereafter. Note that AI Impacts, AI Safety Camp, BERI, and MIRI use unconventional research/funding mechanisms and particul...

This week we explore and listen to extracts of Kenneth Graham's (1908) children's classic The Wind in the Willows.  The story follows of the lives of various (anthropomorphised) animals that live by a river, principally, through Mole (Moley) and the Water Rat (Ratty). Their friend, the wilful, spontaneous, and exuberant Toad (of Toad Hall), acts as (almost literally) the driver of the plot. Toad's escapades and recklessness result in the need for Moley and Ratty and their friend, the wise but curmudgeonly Badger, to come to his rescue. Graham's writing is lyrical and evocative and in this episode we enjoy his descriptions of the river. However, his work also has great depth to it. This story can read as an exploration of how we should live within our natural environment, challenging the growing disconnection between people and nature felt within the Victorian age. Graham, like many other writers of his time, was also fascinated with spirituality and religious experiences outside mainstream (Christian) religion. The Wind in the Willows contains a fascinating and powerful chapter ('The Piper at the Gates of Dawn') in which Ratty and Moley have a mystical experience with a transcendent figure. Graham's description, pre-dates, but beautifully expresses, the ideas of theologian Rudolf Otto and encountering the numinous, which Otto describes as a a non-sensory experience of a mystery that is at once terrifying whilst also being fascinating.      Bibliographic information Kenneth Graham (2005) The Wind in the Willows.

This episode features Professor Catherine Walshe (International Observatory on End of Life Care, Lancaster University, UK).  Publication bias is known, but usually associated with direction of research findings. Bibliographic analysis of databases shows publication rates differ between countries, and an increase in total number of publications over time. No journal focused analysis has yet been undertaken to understand their role in the geographical dissemination of knowledge. Papers in highest ranked palliative care journals are typically cited between 1-9 times in the time period used to calculate an annual impact factor, with some journals having high numbers of uncited papers. Most authors in the highest ranked palliative care journals come from North American (54.18%) or European (27.94%) institutions. Preliminary sensitivity tests show that the odds of an author being from a North American institution increase 16.4 times if the journal is North American, and of being from a European institution 14.0 times increased if the journal is European. Palliative care research publication is clustered geographically, and readers may not be widely exposed to potentially relevant research from other cultures or contexts if they only read journals from their own continents.

The presenters give an update on the status of the Library of Congress initiative to review the current bibliographic framework to accommodate future needs in a better manner. A major focus of the initiative is to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 exchange format in order to reap the benefits of newer technology while preserving a robust data exchange that has supported resource sharing and cataloging cost savings in recent decades. McCallum will provide background on some of the current standards and format structures to help understand what some of the possibilities might be for the future. Speaker Biography: Beacher Wiggins, director for Acquisitions & Bibliographic Access, has had a long career at the Library of Congress. One of his early positions was as the assistant to Henriette Avram, the developer of the MARC 21 standard. Wiggins compares the history of MARC with today's needs for a bibliographic exchange environment that will support linked data. Speaker Biography: Sally McCallum is chief of the Network Development and MARC Standards Office at the Library of Congress, responsible for the maintenance of the MARC21 formats and a number of other interoperability-related standards such as an XML version of MARC, the Z39.50 Information Retrieval protocol, and the Encoded Archival Description DTD.

Ornithological nomenclature is based on the bibliographic legacy from Charles Davies Sherborn, working in the Natural History Museum, London, and from Charles Wallace Richmond, working at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Despite their significant foundations, a complete data series has not yet been achieved. Gaps in their original coverage, though few, have not been resolved. The post-1850, the end date of coverage of the Index Animalium the level of completeness declines. I will discuss the coverage of the gaps in ornithology and address the primary issues of completeness and accuracy.Listen to this episode

Now, when copying as a citation out of a tool, Accordance will automatically include the tool's bibliographic information as a footnote, in a variety of styles. Smart Searching is Accordance's way of embracing the now popular keyword style searching, helping a user transition from a Google or Spotlight based method to Accordance's exact searching more easily. Both of these features are demonstrated in this podcast.
