Men när andra försökte replikera hans fynd, lyckades ingen verifiera hans påståenden om multipla intelligenser, alltså själva idén om olika lärstilar. På kritiken svarade Gardner helt uppseendeväckande att hela idén med multipla intelligenser inte är utformad för att låta sig utvärderas.5 Således behöver dessa idéer värderas efter vilka resultat man når när de tillämpas. Då blir det problem.

A group funded by Ben & Jerry’s founder Ben Cohen is running a media campaign against U.S. military support for Ukraine. The organization—Eisenhower Media Network (EMN)—has been reaching out to reporters to push claims that the U.S. is spending too much money trying to help Ukraine fight off Vladimir Putin’s invasion. - The Daily Beast

But in many critical areas, IPCC scientists say the world is flying blind into the storm. By the time they publish their next report — at the end of this decade — there will be more clarity about where global temperatures will peak. Green policies will have triggered social and economic transformation, with major benefits — and major upheaval. That means there are still far too many unknowns to say with certainty how and when the most devastating impacts will hit. “Generally, science is still lagging policy,” said Piers Forster, an IPCC author and director of the Priestley International Centre for Climate at the University of Leeds. - Politico

The tactics used against Duncan were nearly identical. Nearly everyone in the room showed up to disrupt the proceeding, according to Duncan and two members of the Federalist Society, and many of the hundred or so students on hand were holding profane signs, including one that declared: "Duncan can’t find the clit." - FreeBeacon

"We identified a total of 65 studies from 19 different countries. Our meta-analyses showed that protection from past infection and any symptomatic disease was high for ancestral, alpha, beta, and delta variants, but was substantially lower for the omicron BA.1 variant. Pooled effectiveness against re-infection by the omicron BA.1 variant was 45·3% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 17·3–76·1) and 44·0% (26·5–65·0) against omicron BA.1 symptomatic disease. Mean pooled effectiveness was greater than 78% against severe disease (hospitalisation and death) for all variants, including omicron BA.1. Protection from re-infection from ancestral, alpha, and delta variants declined over time but remained at 78·6% (49·8–93·6) at 40 weeks. Protection against re-infection by the omicron BA.1 variant declined more rapidly and was estimated at 36·1% (24·4–51·3) at 40 weeks. On the other hand, protection against severe disease remained high for all variants, with 90·2% (69·7–97·5) for ancestral, alpha, and delta variants, and 88·9% (84·7–90·9) for omicron BA.1 at 40 weeks." - The Lancet

It turned out that Silicon Valley Bank had seemed more interested in virtue signaling than in sound banking practices. Its board of directors had only one member who was experienced in banking at the highest levels, Tom King, the former head of investment banking at Barclays. The bank’s 2022 proxy statement had proudly stated that its board was 45 percent female and had one black member, two veterans, and one who was LGBTQ+. Many of the board members had been major Democratic donors. Shockingly, the bank had had no chief risk manager for eight months of 2022 and had not hedged against the possibility of rising interest rates. That would have, necessarily, reduced returns on the bank’s investment portfolio, but would have made it much less vulnerable to what ended up happening. - The Spectator

“Because if we’re bringing people in whose mission [has]… been with their institution’s education that very plainly on their website… that above all else, it was to influence people to Biblically-minded. How does that hold space for people of other faiths? How does that hold space for our members of the LGBT community? How does that space for people who think differently and do not have the same beliefs,” she said. “At some point, we need get real with ourselves and take a look at who we’re making legal contracts with and the message that is sending to our community. Because that makes me feel like I could not be safe in this school district.” Other members of the school board expressed similar concerns. - Tamillia Valenzuela WESD Board member

”Its ok when we do it” är inte en rimlig princip när det kommer till riksdagsledamöters rätt att kritisera uppenbart vanvettiga domar.

Avslutningen av år 2022 och inledningen av år 2023 har varit ytterst märklig för många av de som faktiskt är aktiva i Svenska kyrkan. Den nye ärkebiskopen och tre andra biskopar har i artiklar och intervjuer redovisat, att varken Bibeln eller Kyrkoordningen är normen för deras idéer och praxis.

Valberedningens förslag till ny ordförande för Svenska Fotbollförbundet, Fredrik Reinfeldt, 57, har en rejäl uppförsbacke. Av de 16 distriktsförbund som haft sina årsmöten hittills förespråkar ingen av dem öppet den tidigare statsministern, visar Sportbladets genomgång.

Flera exempel på detsamma finns i SVT:s ”Första dejten”, denna empiriska studie över män och kvinnors villighet att ta restaurangnotan i modern tid. För varje avsnitt förbryllas jag över hur nästan samtliga kvinnliga deltagare pustar ut när killen (som de alltså knappt känner) plikttroget erbjuder sig att betala, i stället för att ens föreslå att notan ska delas. Spelar roll att båda är studenter, eller att tjejen i fråga proklamerat sina feministiska övertygelser i den tidigare presentationen. Gratis är gott, oavsett om man slår vakt om uråldriga könsroller eller om man ser sig som jämställdheten själv. - Nina Morby i GP

”Det innebär att även om det finns ett samband mellan socioekonomisk bakgrund och delaktighet i brott, är det sambandet svagt. Det går inte att i nämnvärd grad förutsäga vem som kommer att begå brott utifrån kunskap om personers socioekonomiska bakgrund.” BRÅ
