The Information Manifold : Why Computers Can't Solve Algorithmic Bias and Fake News
An argument that information exists at different levels of analysis-syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic-and an exploration of the implications. Although this is the Information Age, there is no universal agreement about what information really is.Different disciplines view information differently; engineers, computer scientists, economists, linguists, and philosophers all take varying and apparently disconnected approaches.In this book, Antonio Badia distinguishes four levels of analysis brought to bear on information: syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and network-based.Badia explains each of these theoretical approaches in turn, discussing, among other topics, theories of Claude Shannon and Andrey Kolomogorov, Fred Dretske's description of information flow, and ideas on receiver impact and informational interactions.Badia argues that all these theories describe the same phenomena from different perspectives, each one narrower than the previous one.The syntactic approach is the more general one, but it fails to specify when information is meaningful to an agent, which is the focus of the semantic and pragmatic approaches.The network-based approach, meanwhile, provides a framework to understand information use among agents. Badia then explores the consequences of understanding information as existing at several levels.Humans live at the semantic and pragmatic level (and at the network level as a society), computers at the syntactic level.This sheds light on some recent issues, including "fake news" (computers cannot tell whether a statement is true or not, because truth is a semantic notion) and "algorithmic bias" (a pragmatic, not syntactic concern).Humans, not computers, the book argues, have the ability to solve these issues.

Sport Events and Community Development
This book examines the relationships between sport event hosting and community development goals.With sport events proliferating around the world, from major events to local events, the book explains how community goals can be embedded into sports event planning, and how events at all levels can be most effectively leveraged to achieve positive outcomes and legacies for local communities. Featuring real-world case studies and the perspective of industry practitioners in every chapter, the book explores the commercial, social, and political contexts in which events take place and what is meant by "legacy" and "impact." It introduces the key stakeholders, from residents and local government to NGOs, as well as the spectrum of goals that might be in play, and looks at partnerships working for the best effect.The book also explains the sports event management process, from bidding to planning to venue management to monitoring and evaluation, and considers how community development goals can, and should, be incorporated at every stage. With a practical focus, and full of useful features for learning and understanding, this is essential reading for any student or practitioner with an interest in sports events, community sport, sport development, event management, or sustainable business.

Local Voices, Local Choices : The Tacare Approach to Community-Led Conservation
Discover the stories behind Jane Goodall’s visionary approach to community-led conservation. You know of Jane Goodall’s work with wild chimpanzees and her lifelong career advocating for environmental justice.But just as transformative is her work empowering local communities that live on the edge of human settlement to act to protect their natural resources—or to risk losing them forever. Local Voices, Local Choices: The Tacare Approach to Community-Led Conservation is the story of the Jane Goodall Institute’s holistic approach to conservation, which puts the local people in charge of preserving their surrounding ecosystems.Rather than conservationists leading the effort and imposing their solutions, local communities that live in the affected regions make their own decisions.Working with science and technology and with the support of conservationists, these communities grow to understand their human impact on the environment.By choosing to adopt sustainable livelihoods, they decide their own path into the future, finding ways to balance their environmental impact with their communities’ needs. Story by story, Local Voices, Local Choices brings readers into the diverse perspectives behind this approach to community-driven conservation—not only those of JGI staff and program partners but also, and equally, those of the local people who lead these initiatives. Read about:The origins of the Tacare approach, originally designed as a 1994 reforestation project with an abbreviation pronounced “ta-CAR-reh”A retired village member keeping the knowledge of medicinal plants alive in his communitySpiritual and cultural story-holders who are vital to the recording and preservation of their traditional ecological knowledgeLocal people participating as forest monitors, village health workers, beekeepers, small-business owners, and educators of the next generationFormer poachers turned advocates for sustainable land managementWritten for conservationists, fans of Jane Goodall, and readers interested in environmental issues, Local Voices, Local Choices is a vibrant expression of Jane Goodall’s vision and her hope that the Tacare approach will be understood and adopted wherever there is a need for genuine community-driven conservation. Local voices matter, and their choices can make all the difference for generations to come.

What is a manifold?
A manifold is a mathematical concept that describes a space that looks locally like Euclidean space. In other words, a manifold is a topological space that is locally similar to Euclidean space, but may have a more complicated global structure. Manifolds can be of different dimensions, such as one-dimensional curves, two-dimensional surfaces, or higher-dimensional spaces. They are used in various fields of mathematics, physics, and engineering to study and describe complex geometric and topological structures.

What is the definition of a local embedding of a differentiable manifold?
A local embedding of a differentiable manifold is a smooth injection of a subset of the manifold into a Euclidean space such that the image of the subset is diffeomorphic to the subset itself. In other words, it is a way of representing a portion of the manifold as a smooth submanifold of a Euclidean space. This allows us to study the local geometry of the manifold by embedding it into a simpler space.

Is the exhaust manifold permissible?
The permissibility of an exhaust manifold depends on various factors such as the specific regulations in your area, the condition of the manifold, and its impact on the vehicle's emissions. In general, if the exhaust manifold is functioning properly and meets the emissions standards set by the authorities, it should be permissible. However, modifications or aftermarket exhaust manifolds that do not comply with regulations may not be allowed. It is important to ensure that the exhaust manifold on your vehicle is legal and in good working condition to avoid any issues.

Is the intake manifold leaking?
To determine if the intake manifold is leaking, you can perform a visual inspection for any signs of coolant or oil leaks around the intake manifold gasket. Additionally, you can use a smoke machine to pressurize the intake system and look for any smoke escaping from the manifold. Another method is to use a propane torch (with caution) to pass it around the intake manifold while the engine is running and listen for changes in engine speed, which can indicate a vacuum leak. If any of these tests reveal a leak, then the intake manifold may be the source of the issue.

Antiracist Journalism : The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News
Across the United States, newsrooms are grappling with systemic racism in their organizations and the media industry.Many have implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or made other attempts to confront past and present biases in pursuit of greater equity.Are such efforts merely performative, or are any transforming norms and power structures?What would it take to hold newsrooms truly accountable?Andrea Wenzel provides a critical look at how local media organizations in the Philadelphia area are attempting to address structural racism.She focuses on two established, majority-white newsrooms, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the public radio station WHYY, and two start-ups where at least half the staff identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC), Resolve Philly and Kensington Voice.Drawing on more than five years of field research, Wenzel charts how these outlets have pursued a range of interventions—such as tracking the diversity of sources, examining reporting and editing practices, and working with community members to gain input—to varying degrees of success.Wenzel argues that institutional and systemic transformation will be possible only through the establishment of structures that facilitate holding those with more power responsible for listening to and addressing the needs and concerns of those with less.Offering recommendations for building infrastructure that enables sustainable accountability, Antiracist Journalism is an important book for everyone interested in making local journalism more equitable.

How do I remove a rusted manifold?
To remove a rusted manifold, you will first need to spray penetrating oil on the bolts and let it sit for a few hours to help loosen the rust. Next, use a wrench or socket set to try and loosen the bolts. If they are still stuck, you may need to apply more penetrating oil and use a breaker bar for extra leverage. Be patient and persistent, as rusted bolts can be difficult to remove.
