The U.S. government conducts a population census every 10 years, adds up the counts by geographic location, and uses the resulting numbers in formulas to allocate seats in the House of Representative and Electoral College, and to make public funding and tax decisions. It has served as an essential tool of representative democracy since 1790. The raw data from the census also serve as a decennial snapshot of the nation, a very long list, organized by household, ideally of all people resident on census day, with additional information on the name, age, race, sex, geographic location, and other characteristics for each individual. Americans recognized early in their history that the raw data, the list, could serve additional governmental functions, and over the centuries, erected guardrails to prevent improper use. They are encapsulated in the presidential proclamations announcing the upcoming census. The information collected from individual households is for aggregated use only, and cannot be used for the taxation, regulation, or investigation of individual persons or businesses. Americans have heeded the call to stand up and be counted. They also engage in an ongoing conversation to make sure that the information is used properly and ethically, that the census serves as a tool of representative democracy and advances the rights including human rights -- of all Americans. The record, however, reveals that there have been failures to meet this goal and that as a result the information provided by the responding public sometimes has been misused, causing considerable harm to vulnerable individuals, groups and entities. Today, as governments and social media are suspect for their exploitation of data about individuals, the experience of Americans of Japanese ancestry in the United States during World War II provides a chilling example of such misuse of census data. This book reveals how census officials stepped beyond their normal roles as unobtrusive monitors of American demographic life and helped justify and administer the relocation and incarceration program. Census officials mobilized the substantial administrative and technical resources of the 1940 census, to map the neighbourhoods where Japanese-Americans lived, and planned their systematic removal. The officials then built census-like data systems to track the evacuees for the duration of the war, monitor their lives in the camps, and certify which loyal evacuees might be released from the camps for military or civilian service. After the war, census officials drafted an official history of their activities, but did not publish it. This book has lessons for policy makers and ordinary Americans alike, as we confront the new digital world in which we live. And it speaks to two of the great issues of our time: distrust in the institutions ofgovernment and the victimization of minorities. Autorid: Margo Anderson, William Seltzer

Nâgârjuna, moine bouddhiste du IIe-IIIe siècle originaire d'Inde, est renommé pour être le fondateur de l'école philosophique dite du « Milieu ». Le rayonnement et l'immense influence de sa pensée lui permettent d'occuper aujourd'hui une place de premier ordre à l'intérieur du bouddhisme Mahâyâna, à tel point que le bouddhisme tibétain le considère comme l'un de ses maîtres, et que le Ch'an ainsi que le Zen le reconnaissent comme le quatorzième patriarche indien dans la succession des maîtres depuis le Bouddha. Dans le Traité du Milieu (Mâdhyamaka-kârikâ), son principal ouvrage, Nâgârjuna affirme que le principe de Vacuité (sûnyatâvâda) fonde la réalité, c'est-à-dire qu'il en est la loi essentielle, intime. Pensée « du tréfonds de la non-pensée », selon la célèbre expression de maître Dôgen, la Vacuité est une pratique concrète du non-attachement, une discipline effective de la mise à distance.Rendre perceptible l'imperceptible vérité, comprendre que tout échappe à la compréhension, c'est là le sens réel de la Voie du Milieu, que Jean-Marc Vivenza, philosophe, explore avec talent.
THE SHAHNAMEH was completed in the year 1010 by the Persian poet Ferdowsi. A monumental undertaking encompassing ancient myths, legends, and history, it is one of Iran's most cherished works of literature. Volume V traces the succession of kings in the ill-fated Sassanian Dynasty, opening with the reign of Khosrow Parviz, and ending with King Yazdegerd. The poem closes with a rather brief account of the Arab invasion of Iran and the death of its last ruler. Ferdowsi's legacy leaves an indelible mark on Persian culture and literature. He speaks to us through his stories and through his everlasting poetic expression. And though the stories come from a specific part of the world and relate elements of a particular culture, they hold universal appeal and should be shared with anyone wishing to explore ancient myths, universal symbols, and archetypes.

This open access book sets out the stress-system model for functional somatic symptoms in children and adolescents. The book begins by exploring the initial encounter between the paediatrician, child, and family, moves through the assessment process, including the formulation and the treatment contract, and then describes the various forms of treatment that are designed to settle the child¿s dysregulated stress system. This approach both provides a new understanding of how such symptoms emerge ¿ typically, through a history of recurrent or chronic stress, either physical or psychological ¿ and points the way to effective assessment, management, and treatment that put the child (and family) back on the road to health and well-being.
This book explains the foundational business skills you'll need to deliver business value and grow your career as an analyst or data scientist. Drawing on best practices, published research, case studies and personal anecdotes from two decades of industry experience, David Stephenson lays out a practical and concise overview of foundational skills related to Company, Colleagues, Storytelling, Expectations, Results and Careers--emphasizing how each topic relates to your unique position as an analytics professional within a larger corporation. From the introduction: "The six topics in this book-company, colleagues, communication (storytelling), expectations, results and careers-are covered in six sections. They are presented roughly in the order you'll need them during your career, with project leadership skills coming later in the book. The final topic, careers, will be relevant at all stages of your career, even as you pursue your first job as a data scientist. The first section, company, will help you work within a larger organization. Chapter one discusses how organizations generally view data scientists, why they hire them and what they expect from them. This chapter begins to explain how you as a data scientist can produce business value, a topic that is more fully developed in chapter ten. Chapter two describes how to relate to the diverse range of individuals within your organization. By understanding how various roles and functions differ in their goals and values, you will be better prepared to deliver valuable results to them. The second section, colleagues, covers interpersonal challenges that often present significant problems for data scientists-cultural misunderstandings, negotiating through disagreements, and office politics. Younger data scientists generally perceive these topics as less important, until the day when they suddenly find them extremely important. The third section, storytelling, covers principles and methods key to oral and visual presentations. This section describes how to clarify your message, which is easy in principle but difficult in practice, and how to produce clear slides, graphs and tables. It goes into detail on techniques for decluttering and drawing focus, leveraging principles such as Gestalt and preattentive processing. The two chapters in this section are perhaps the most immediately relevant for data scientists and will provide you with some very quick wins, as I've seen from the responses of my training participants. The fourth section, expectations, covers techniques for setting expectations, kicking off a project, and maintaining the trust of your stakeholders. In particular, I cover ways to build consensus at the start of a project and ways to avoid the common mistake of working hard to build a solution that no one wants to use. The fifth section, results, presents principles, techniques and case studies related to selecting the most beneficial data science projects. It then describes concepts and frameworks that will help you run those projects to successful completion, despite the shifting expectations and lack of clarity that are so prevalent in data science projects. The sixth and final section, careers, addresses questions I'm often asked by data scientists, such as how to choose between job opportunities, how to strengthen your CV, and even whether to start working independently as a freelance data scientist."
In narrating his circumnavigation of the world at the turn of the seventeenth century, the Florentine Francesco Carletti became the first European merchant to leave an account of travel on existing commercial routes. A repentant ex-slave trader and smuggler turned dealer in Chinese goods, Carletti travelled at the edge of empires, providing a unique perspective on the promise and peril of a connected globe. With his long stays in Lima, Mexico City, Manila, Nagasaki, Macao, and Goa, as well as travels across the Americas, the Pacific, and Asia, Carletti documents a changing world in which European powers and traders interacted and often clashed with other empires and polities. Trading at the Edge of Empires brings together 24 scholars to situate and unpack how Carlettis travels illuminate our understanding of trade, slavery, empire, religion, language, ethnography, cartography, cosmography, and material culture in the early modern world.
