The so-called “Great Firewall of China” operates, in part, by inspecting TCP packets for keywords that are to be blocked. If the keyword is present, TCP reset packets (viz: with the RST flag set) are sent to both endpoints of the connection, which then close. However, because the original packets are passed through the firewall unscathed, if the endpoints completely ignore the firewall’s resets...

Research has demonstrated how ignorance is made, manipulated and called upon; it the result of strategies, activities structures. This article extends literature on by exploring actors’ own explanations their self-inflicted following acts ignoring. By means a case analysis, we explore actors explain justify ignoring data they themselves produced. We provide multifaceted model rationales, facili...

when we speak of “training by means of questions”, as the most widespread form of training in language teaching, the question of self-assessment is more than ever vying for attention. self-assessment is an active rational strategy of on-the-job training, which allows teachers to identify ways of improving their job skills. in this article, we intend to offer a pedagogical reflection, which, b...

I feel fortunate to work for a community trust that values its staff and actively promotes their development. However, I feel very undervalued by the present government for the 20 years' hard work, dedication and experience I have put into my career.

Researchers often use the discrepancy between self-reported and biochemically assessed active smoking status to argue that self-reported smoking status is not reliable, ignoring the limitations of biochemically assessed measures and treating it as the gold standard in their comparisons. Here, we employ econometric techniques to compare the accuracy of self-reported and biochemically assessed cu...

We used electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings to examine the processes that enable subjects to intentionally ignore transient, task-irrelevant visual stimuli, keeping such stimuli from interfering with short-term memory for similar, behaviorally relevant visual stimuli (Yotsumoto & Sekuler, in press). Subjects recognition memory was tested for brief, sequentially-presented compound sinusoida...
