​



>Learning and Cognition: In this section, we learn that cows display the ability to rapidly learn different tasks, display long-term memory, extrapolate the location of a hidden moving object, discriminate complex stimuli, and discriminate humans from one another. The authors note, "Calves as well as adult cows show learned fear responses to humans who have previously handled them in a rough manner." Cows also display complex spatial memory and are able to discriminate among individual cows and recognize cow faces as different from the faces of other species. 
>
>Emotions: A good deal of research has been done on the emotional lives of cows and we know that they experience a wide range of emotions. For example, they display fear and anxiety and the less eye white that is seen, the better they feel. When cow mothers are separated from their calves, as is done as they are being prepared for meals, there is an increase in the amount of eye white. Ears also are indicators of a cow's emotional state. Relaxed ear postures indicate cows are feeling okay. Cows also like to play, as do countless other nonhuman animals. And, they how decreased play when their well-being is compromised. One very important discovery is that when cows are stressed, such as after they're branded with a hot iron, they show a decrease in the ability to judge ambiguous stimuli, as do humans. For more discussion of the emotional lives of cows please see "The Cow's Nose Shows How They're Feeling About Life," "The Emotional Lives of Cows: Ears Tell Us They're Feeling OK," and links therein.

>Marino and Allen also report that cows display emotional contagion. They write, "A series of studies on a form of emotional contagion mediated by olfactory cues has shown that when cows are exposed to stressed conspecifics they too show pronounced stress responses, such as decreased feeding and increased cortisol release." I often stress that cows and other so-called "food animals" not only see family members, friends, and others being killed for food, they also smell and hear what's happening. It's also known that the presence of other cows can buffer the stress that cows feel on their way to market. This called "social buffering" and has been demonstrated in other nonhumans. Mothers and calves also show extreme distress when separated. This is not at all surprising but remains a common practice in the animal-food industry.
>
>Personality: Cows, similar to numerous other nonhumans, display a full range of personalities including boldness, shyness, sociability and gregariousness, and being temperamental. Of course, these are not surprising results and people working with and studying cows have known this for a long time.
>
>Social Complexity: Concerning this topic, Marino and Allen write that the social complexity hypothesis "suggests that the challenges encountered in the social environment place selective pressures on brain evolution" and "there should be a positive relationship between social complexity and individual intelligence across species." From a practical point of view, they note, "Bergman and Beehner (2015) propose a contemporary definition of social complexity that preserves the central role of cognition: "... social complexity should be measured as the number of differentiated relationships that members of a species have with conspecifics” (p. 205). The authors conclude that research on cows clearly shows that "Given a general definition of social complexity as the number of differentiated relationships, the knowledge about conspecifics, and the knowledge of one’s own and other animals' social interactions and relationships, cows display broad parameters of social complexity in empirical studies. They have demonstrated knowledge about conspecifics and the exchange of relevant social knowledge with conspecifics. Through dominance hierarchies and affiliative bonds, they have demonstrated knowledge about conspecifics and of their own social interactions with them." 
>
>The knowledge translation gap
>
>As in many other venues in which nonhumans are routinely and brutally abused, detailed information from scientific studies is not used on their behalf. Along these lines, Marino and Allen write, "Yet, despite empirical evidence for complex emotional, social, and cognitive functioning, there is still a gap between our understanding and acceptance of complex emotions and intelligence between our pets (namely, dogs and cats) and farmed or 'food' animals (Herzog, 2010; Joy, 2009)."
>
>It's essential to use what we know on behalf of other animals with whom we interact, use, and abuse. Unfortunately, a "knowledge translation gap" still exists and what we know is not used on their behalf in far too many situations. Basically, the knowledge translation gap refers to the practice of ignoring tons of science showing that other animals are sentient beings and going ahead and causing intentional harm in human-oriented arenas. On the broad scale, it means that what we now know about animal cognition and emotion has not yet been translated into an evolution in human attitudes and practices (for more discussion please see "Animals Need More Freedom, Not Bigger Cages").  

​

there are 3-4 books that I keep at least 2 copies on-hand of, because they are informative and I like giving them to people with no expectation of giving them back.

Ok this sounds like I am talking about religious texts - they aren't. They are:

- Normal Accidents: Living with High-Risk Technologies

- The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right

- The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing

- The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns (Little Books. Big Profits)

​

The first two are must-reads for engineers working in any kind of system, be it computers, electronics, mechanical, or people systems (project management, etc)

​

The last 2 I tend to recommend to people who think that reasonable investment awareness and decisions requires a lot of specialized knowledge and attention

Momentum is the value that the momentum operator gives you. It will be related to the time evolution of the field, as you would expect for a quantity classically related to velocity. In coherent states, which are mixtures of states in any bases that are sufficiently localized in space, the classical limit is recovered.


Spin is the result of another operator, but what it gives you is the angular momentum of an electron. Everybody agrees on this. No physicist thinks it's actually spinning because they're not dense and have enough imagination to know a vector quantity can exist all on its own. Here are two experts that agree on this definition - I know this because all the experts agree on the definition, because they're all working with the exact same mathematical model.

This is literally first year stuff, as in actual first years taking physics classes in college will learn it. Occasionally, they will delay it to their second year - I suppose that was my ego at play.

[This] (https://www.amazon.com/Law-Self-Defense-Indispensable-Citizen/dp/0988867702) is probably the best summary you can get on how it works in the US.

This guy in South Africa published a book which is quite funny and real. I know it's real because my dad is featured in one of the letters.

Lucky for you, it exists! you only need a ps2 now

My brother had a book a long time ago, well before that style of letter, consisting of job applications and some of the rejection letters. Some were extremely clever.

Or there is this one.

Edit: Fiver? Letter!

They make pens that have a little flashlight on the end. I used to have one.

Yep, someone wrote that book.

No, the author's name is on there. Successful attempt.

So the trailer that I have has a big box for straps jacks, etc mounted on the front and in there is a squatty 20 ton jack like this one. https://www.amazon.com/Torin-T92003B-Hydraulic-Bottle-Capacity/dp/B000234IT4 and I put it in between the front skid and the front wall of the trailer. My trailer is a 10,000lb GVW trailer and it has a beam across the front that I put the jack against, and then I use blocks in between the front of the trailer and the skid and jack it backwards a little bit at a time. It's not perfect, but it does work. I have not had to move the load forward yet, but I have needed to move it backwards twice before I figured out the exact right position for the skids.

The recipe was either from the one that comes with it (kinda doubt it) or from this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1623156122/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Plenty of sources.

There's a website that compiles fake hate crimes.

Someone wrote a book on the subject.

There are articles written about it and there was just the High Profile case of Jussie Smollet.

There are scenarios involving swastikas.

And they often don't know how to draw swastikas.

Psychology has two halves. Some of it is backed by science, some of it is pseudoscience masquerading as science.

Throughout the years academic psychology has been fraught with mistakes, frauds, abuses, and outright nonsense.
