بيل وارنر

بيل وارنر
بيل فرانش كاتب أمريكي معروف من خلال اسمه المستعار بيل وارنر، هو ناقد للإسلام، وهو كاتب ومؤسس «مركز دراسة الإسلام السياسي». وهو أستاذ فيزياء سابق في جامعة ولاية تينيسي. وقد أدرجه مركز قانون الحاجة الجنوبي (Southern Poverty Law) كجزء من مجموعة تتألف من 10 من المتشددين المناهضين للمسلمين.
وقد قال إن تركيزه على الجوانب السياسية للعقيدة الإسلامية المتعلقة بغير المسلمين (الكفار) وليس على معتقدات المسلمين المعاصرين. تستند كتبه إلى فرضية مفادها أن الإسلام كدين وما يشار إليه بالإسلام السياسي يجب أن يتم تحديدهم بوضوح. الإسلام كإيمان هو قرار فردي خاص ويجب معاملته باحترام وتسامح. وهو يُعرّف «الإسلام السياسي على أنه اعتقاد بأن الإسلام يجب أن يسيطر على المجتمع والسياسة، وليس على الحياة الدينية الشخصية.»

ديدان حبلية

ديدان حبلية
الديدان الحبلية أو ديدان الحبل هي مصطلح علمي زائف لقطع طويلة رقيقة من البطانة المعوية أو غيرها من محتوى الأمعاء التي تم تعريفها على أنها ديدان طفيلية بشرية. تم الإبلاغ عن الديدان الحبلية في عام 2013 في ورقتين منشورتين ذاتيا بواسطة فولينسكي وجوباريف وآخرون. في الواقع، فهي ليست طفيليات فعلية، ولكن البطانة المعوية التي تسقط من الأمعاء بعد استخدام الحقن الشرجية المبيضة كلوريت الصوديوم الممزوج بحامض الستريك، وتشكيل ثاني أكسيد الكلور وتسويقه كمكمل معدني المعجزة وغيرها من المطهرات والعلاجات غير الفعالة والخطيرة المماثلة، مثل حقنة شرجية الليمون التي وصفها فولينسكي بقصد إزالة الطفيليات.
تنتج هذه الظاهرة عن سوء الفهم والتعرف الخاطئ على القطع الأثرية المعوية التي يتم طردها من الجسم. غالبًا ما تتم مناقشة هذه الديدان الطفيلية، مع مشاركة الصور والمطالبة بها كدليل على نجاح التخلص من السموم، في منتديات التوحد ومجموعات فيسبوك، حيث يُزعم حقًا أن الحقن الشرجية المبيضة على سبيل المثال مكمل معدني المعجزة لعلاج التوحد. في إحدى المجموعات، زُعم أن 8500 عضو قد اتهموا 60 دولارًا للانضمام، نصف مليون دولار مجتمعة، مما أدى إلى استجواب نوايا القادة.
التوحد هو اضطراب عصبي، ولا تسببه الديدان الطفيلية. لأنهم يعرفون أن ما يفعلونه لا يعاقب عليه من قبل الدراسات الطبية ويعتبر مسيئًا، قد يتردد الآباء في هذه المجموعات في أخذ أطفالهم إلى أطبائهم، حتى عندما تظهر ردود فعل خطيرة، مثل القيء والإرهاق والجفاف والأطراف يتحول إلى اللون الأصفر مما يشير إلى تلف الكبد. يُطلب من الأطباء وغيرهم من المراسلين الإلزاميين، الإبلاغ عن إساءة معاملة الأطفال المشتبه بها إلى وكالة خدمات حماية الطفل.

The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution

The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution is a 2015 American documentary film directed and written by Stanley Nelson Jr. The film combines archival footage and interviews with surviving Panthers and FBI agents to tell the story of the revolutionary black organization the Black Panther Party. It is Nelson Jr.'s eighth film to premiere at Sundance. The film was pitched at Sheffield Doc/Fest's MeetMarket in 2014 and is the first of a three-part series of documentary films about African-American history America Revisited. It will be followed by Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and The Slave Trade: Creating a New World.
The film premiered on January 23, 2015 at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival before receiving a limited North American theatrical release on September 2, 2015.
Production
The film took seven years to complete. Nelson interviewed over fifty people for the film, with around thirty making it into the final cut. Infamous wiretaps of the Black Panthers were never accessed through the Freedom of Information Act, despite repeated attempts on behalf of the producer. Much of the archival footage used in the film has never been publicly broadcast before, with much time and effort going into locating and digitizing obscure resources.
Critical reception
The film received both acclaim and reproval from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 92% rating based on 36 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The site's consensus states: "The Black Panthers: Vanguard Of The Revolution offers a fascinating -- if somewhat rudimentary -- introduction to a movement, and an era, that remains soberingly relevant today." Metacritic reports an 80 out of 100 rating based on 17 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, describing it as "a strong if only occasionally transporting biography of a movement that terrified the establishment in its day." The Mercury News wrote, "Pulse-pounding...and insightful."
Elaine Brown, a former Black Panther Party leader, criticized the film, writing that it presents "a disparaging portrait of Huey P. Newton" and that Nelson "[excised] from his film the Party's ideological foundation and political strategies, [...] reducing our activities to sensationalist engagements, as snatched from establishment media headlines."
In contrast, Michael Moynihan, writing in The Daily Beast, accused the film of "whitewashing" the politics and activities of the BPP.

Daniel Simons

Daniel Simons
Daniel James Simons (born 1969) is an experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, and Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois.
Simons is best known for his work on change blindness and inattentional blindness, two surprising examples of how people can be unaware of information right in front of their eyes. His research interests also include visual cognition, perception, memory, attention, and awareness.
Biography
Career
Simons received a B.A. in psychology from Carleton College in 1991 and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1997. Simons then spent 5 years at Harvard University, first as an Assistant professor and then as a John Loeb Associate Professor. In 2002, Simons became a professor at the University of Illinois where he runs the Visual Cognition Laboratory.
Research
Professor Simons' research has focused on the cognitive underpinnings of our experience of a stable and continuous visual world. One line of research focuses on change blindness. These failures to notice large changes to scenes suggest that we are aware of far less of our visual world than we think. Related studies explore what aspects of our environment automatically capture attention and what objects and events go unnoticed. Such studies reveal the surprising extent of inattentional blindness - the failure to notice unusual and salient events in their visual world when attention is otherwise engaged and the events are unexpected. Other active research interests include scene perception, object recognition, visual memory, visual fading, attention, and driving and distraction. Research in his laboratory adopts methods ranging from real-world and video-based approaches to computer-based psychophysical techniques, and it includes basic behavioral measures, eye tracking, simulator studies, and training studies.
Awards
In 2003, Simons won the APA Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions to Psychology. He was also an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow from 1999 to 2003. In 2004, Simons and his collaborator, Christopher Chabris, won the Ig Nobel Prize for demonstrating that even gorillas can become invisible when people are attending to something else.
