![]() ![]() And while Instagram is notorious for its strict ban on female nipples, a post from a user showing breasts with the nipples covered above the caption “Dm to trade young girl pics or links” was allowed to stay up until Monday night. A team of 15,000 content moderators is tasked with moderating content from Facebook and Instagram’s collective 3 billion monthly users. “No one of any age should have access to that stuff.”įacebook, which owns Instagram, has highlighted its quest to expand its content-moderation efforts over the past year, but some moderators say its efforts fall short. “Kids my age shouldn’t be able to see, even if it’s just people offering or trying to sell it,” Jack says. Many high schoolers without meme accounts spun up old pages or dedicated their main page to spamming the hashtag. “The fact that they’re so young makes them connect with those kids who are in danger and being taken advantage of via those hashtags.” “They could be the people at risk for this type of stuff,” Weimer said. Part of the reason this particular issue spread so fast and so far is because many meme-account admins are teenagers themselves. They do a good job of raising issues,” he says. “Meme accounts do a good job of … bringing awareness to stuff that’s happening in the community. Memers usually follow a broad range of accounts and are intimately familiar with the platform’s dark corners. Jackson Weimer, a college student and the founder of several meme pages, says he wasn’t surprised that meme accounts discovered the alleged problem before moderators from the platform itself. He posted several memes about it to his page, and reported the offending accounts. ![]() “It’s just disgusting,” says Jacob, a 16-year-old who runs the meme account After searching the hashtag #dropboxlinks himself, Jacob said he was shocked at what it revealed. Read: Instagram has a massive harassment problem We work with Instagram and other sites to ensure this type of content is taken down as soon as possible.” When reached for comment on Tuesday, a Dropbox spokesperson said, “Child exploitation is a horrific crime and we condemn in the strongest possible terms anyone who abuses our platform to share it. “We do not allow content that endangers children, and we have blocked the hashtags in question.” The platform also said it is “developing technology which proactively finds child nudity and child exploitative content when it’s uploaded so we can act quickly.” “Keeping children and young people safe on Instagram is hugely important to us,” an Instagram spokesperson said. Late Monday night, after an inquiry from The Atlantic, Instagram restricted the hashtags #dropboxlinks and #tradedropbox. One memer who posted using the hashtag received a message from another user with links to illicit material, asking if he wanted to “trade boys.” While they waited for Instagram to take action, meme-account holders banded together to spam related hashtags with memes. On Saturday, an account with the username posted “DM if u want young girl links.”Īccording to screenshots shared with The Atlantic, several memers who reported the accounts received messages from Instagram claiming that the platform’s terms had not been violated. “Young boys only,” another user posted several times. ![]() Many others commented “HMU to trade dropbox links” on various throwaway accounts. “I’ll trade, have all nude girl videos,” one user commented in September 2018. The accounts that and other memers surfaced, which can also be found on the hashtag, contain blank posts with captions asking users to DM them for Dropbox links, which allegedly contain child porn or nudes. The alleged child-porn-trading users set up anonymous accounts with throwaway usernames or handles such as (which has since been removed). As he investigated the account, he discovered that it was following the hashtag #dropboxlinks. Jack claims that he saw a call for Instagram users to report an account that “posted very sexually explicit photos of boys” over the weekend. “This is going to be an actual serious video,” says Jack, the 16-year-old founder and admin of who, like all minors in this piece, is referred to by his first name only because of privacy concerns. The viral campaign started when the Instagram meme account uploaded a video to Youtube on Monday morning.

![]() (2006:60) The difference in spelling (also called ortography) and pronounciation from one word to another is caused by different influences and loan words of different languages. The Low German languages include Old Saxon (which has evolved into modern Low German or Plattdeutsch), Old Low Franconian (which became Dutch and Flemish), Old Frisian (which became Frisian, still spoken in a few places in the Netherlands), and Old English’. High German was spoken in the mountains and uplands of Germany and, after Martin Luther translated the Bible into this language, became the standard literary language of Germany. Drout in his book A History of English Language, ‘ But English itself belongs to the West Germanic group, which is divided into two branches, High and Low. English is actually originated as West Germanic language. ![]() English itself has a complex and long history to its ‘fixed’ form as we see today. It is pronounced /ju:/ in ‘university’, /ʊ/ in ‘bush’, /u:/ in ‘shoot’, /ʌ/ in ‘bus’ or ‘cup’, or /ɜ:/ in ‘fur’, while in Indonesian the letter ‘u’ in simply pronounced the same as phonetics /u:/ in any word, as in ‘dunia’ /du:nIa/, ‘kamu’ /kɑ:mu:/, ‘suatu’ /su:wɑ:tu/ etc. The alphabet or letter ‘u’ can be pronounced in many different fashions. The English learners will find it difficult to follow English spelling’s ‘inconsistency’. In romanized Japanese and Indonesian, it simply pronounced as it is written /kɑ:rɑ:te/, while in English, the pronunciation is very different, /kərɑ:tɪ/, where there are some changes in /ɑ:/ into /ə/ and /e/ into /I/. Another example is the loanword ‘karate’ from Japanese. For example the word ‘simple’ in English, according to the alphabet it should be pronounced /si:mple/ which is very similar to the phonetics, while in English it should be pronounced differently, which is /sImpl/. Most of Indonesian alphabets have similar sound and spelling as in International Phonetics Alphabets (IPA). This difference is pretty much significant for Indonesian speakers for Indonesian alphabet is using phonetics rules in the clear way. The difficulty occurs to the English users (especially Indonesian) since the English spelling doesn’t apply phonetics rules as in Indonesian. The English pronunciation cannot be separated with the unique form of English spelling. They become common mistakes accepted by the English users and learners. The mistakes somehow become the truth and they are no more considered as mistake. The mistakes are done in many generations, from teachers to students and teachers to teachers. These mistakes are in the pronunciation of some English words.

As a decades-long advocate for the protection of Canada’s Great Northern Forest, Berman has spent years reaching out to CEOs of oil companies and studying climate policies and has come to a crucial conclusion: without a single mention of “fossil fuels” in the 2015 Paris Agreement, fossil fuel production has escaped regulation. ![]() “Our governments are only regulating emissions and not production of fossil fuels,” she says. How? As climate policy experts negotiate policies set to reduce carbon emissions, the fossil fuel industry continues to grow and pollute for the sake of oil, gas and coal, says environmental campaigner Tzeporah Berman.

Tzeporah Berman makes the case for a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty to stop all new exploration of oil and gas. As he puts it, we should be “building new things that we’ve barely ever built before, in massive amounts, to create a new system entirely.” Although it’s a tall order, the benefits of such a transformation go far beyond survival: if we can reimagine our power production, we will also create a healthier, cleaner and more prosperous world for everyone. To get where we need to go, the world needs an entirely new electricity grid. Where can we get all this power?Īn answer: To go net-negative (not net-zero), to electrify everything with renewables in all parts of the world (not just the wealthy ones) and to power things that can’t be electrified (like airplanes), climate author Solomon Goldstein-Rose affirms that we need more than a green revolution in production.

Where is your money really going? Don’t be tempted to guess or estimate. Do not include overtime pay, because you shouldn’t rely on that as regular income. Figure your available income (the amount of your take-home, or net, pay). Think about what you want to accomplish financially in the next three months, the next year, and the next three years.

Yet before you can address this, it’s important to get an accurate idea of the size and scale of the problem. If you’re eating up your savings or building up debts, you’re likely to be overspending. In the world of consumerism, it’s easy to spend a few bucks here and there to suddenly find out that you exceeded your daily, weekly or monthly budget.

In the midst of my money woes, I became absolutely infatuated with money management. I definitely can relate to having experienced this feeling in my own life. It’s fairly common to put budget planning on the back burner, but it ultimately leads to feeling concerned or anxious about your current financial well-being. But it’s crucial to achieving the freedom you need to live your life to the fullest. Managing your finances can be complicated and to be honest, not really a fun activity to have to do.

You should therefore try to make empty piles as quickly as possible and move a King to the empty space immediately. Eliminating Kings: The Kings are the very last cards needed in a Solitaire game, so these are actually always in the way.Press the H key for hints, the D key to deal a card from the stockpile and use Ctrl + Z to go back a step. Shortkeys: Does the device on which you’re playing have a keyboard? If so, you can use our handy shortkeys.And remember that you can always play the cards of the foundation back to the tableau. For example: If you have the Clubs pile complete up to card 10 and you haven’t begun with the Diamonds pile yet, you will likely run into problems when you want to play the lower cards. Maintain the foundation in balance: Don’t stack too many cards on top of each other in a single foundation, but maintain a balance.Remember these moments, so you can always go back and take the game in a different direction. Sometimes it only takes one specific move to make or break the game. But which of these two options is the best choice? This is where the Undo button comes in handy, because you can use it to look under both cards to see the best choice. For example, you will have a 7 of Spades and a 7 of Clubs, either of which can be placed on an 8 of Hearts. In the Klondike Solitaire game, you will often run into what’s called a split. When you use this feature correctly, you can win almost every game because you can try out various options. Use the Undo button: Our game has an Undo button, which you can use to undo as many moves as you like.After all, the goal is to turn over all the hidden tableau cards as quickly as possible. Prioritize tableau cards over stock cards: You may be tempted to immediately click on the stockpile, but you should not do this until you truly have no more options available on the tableau.Once you’ve moved the top card, the second card moves up to the top position and all the other cards in the stock also move up one spot, creating new options. In this game, you deal 3 cards instead of 1, and you can only use the top card. The above rules also apply to three-card Solitaire, the only difference being that not all the cards from the stock are available. You should move a King to the empty space as soon as possible this will also uncover a new card. Once you’ve completed a pile, thus creating an empty space, only a King can fill it. With each new card, you should examine whether you can use it somewhere on the tableau in order to uncover new cards. Every time you press or click on this pile, 1 new card is dealt to the waste. When no more legal moves are possible on the tableau, we turn to the stockpile. And since the first card of a foundation always has to be an Ace, we can immediately play it to the foundation. In Figure 3, we see that after moving the black 7, a new card is turned over, a black Ace. The more cards have been turned over, the greater the chances of winning the game. You can also move several cards at once if these have already been stacked on top of each other.Įvery time you move a card to another pile, a hidden card will be turned over, giving you new options. In Figure 2, for example, you can move a black 7 to a red 8. On the tableau itself, you can move the face up cards from pile to pile, alternating in color and in descending order. To win a game of Solitaire, you have to move all the cards distributed across the tableau and the stock to the 4 foundations, sorted by suit and in ascending order from the Ace to the King. The rules below concern the easy and most frequently played version, dealing 1 card. When you start a new game, you can choose whether you want to deal 1 card or 3 cards. The foundation: All the cards of the stock, waste and tableau ultimately end up here.The waste: Once all the cards of the stock have been brought into play, they end up face up in the waste pile.The stock: After the 28 cards have been dealt into piles on the tableau, the remaining 24 cards comprise the stockpile and are turned face down.Only the last card of each pile is turned face up and the rest are turned face down. The first pile always consists of 1 card, with each subsequent pile containing 1 more card than the preceding one. The tableau: Solitaire is played with 52 cards, with 28 of them being distributed in 7 piles across the tableau.To help you learn to play the game, let’s first explain what the playing field looks like. This game has even become so popular over time that most people simply call it “Solitaire”, without the “Klondike”. Solitaire is the collective name for a large number of single-player card games, of which Klondike Solitaire is the best known. |
