“Nobody Speak”: The Gawker vs. Hulk Hogan trial will change how you see the case - acconrad

I just saw this show up on Netflix even though it has been out since the
beginning of the year, but now it's giving me all sorts of doubts.

Part of me thinks this is clearly being peddled by the Gawker folks to give
them a better image and look like they were the victims. And given the
previous discussions
([https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12203821](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12203821))
([https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12203821](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12203821))
on here, that seems like a plausible explanation.

The other thought has to do with the discussion on our mixed feelings after
Peter Thiel funded the case
([https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12293870](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12293870)).
And this filmmaker, Knappenberger, has done documentaries about HN darlings
such as Aaron Swartz. So on the other side, we have someone who is creating a
film who has a level of credibility who is taking an interesting stance on
seemingly empathizing with Gawker, and raising more questions about the
precarious nature of the 1st Amendment.

I'm genuinely curious to hear what people think on here, particularly because
when all of this was happening in real time, the sentiment seemed to be
heavily anti-Gawker and then neutral-to-negative when Thiel was involved. It's
making it very hard for me to discern what is going on in our media landscape
and who is really to blame.

Gawker published a video of someone having sex, that was recorded without
their consent. They then refused to take it down when ordered by a Federal
judge. That's almost as scummy as it gets.

They deserved to loose the court case, and made it much worse by ignoring the
judge. The only surprise was the amount of the damages awarded.

Lesson: The First Amendment Rights and Privacy Protection

Introduction:
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition. However, this right has its limits, especially when it comes to privacy protection. In this lesson, we will explore the case of Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker and examine how the trial changed the way we see the balance between free speech and privacy protection.

Section 1: The Case of Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker
In 2012, Terry Bollea (also known as Hulk Hogan) sued Gawker Media for publishing a sex tape of him without his consent. The tape was recorded during Hogan's extramarital affair with Heather Cole, who was then married to radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge. Gawker argued that the publication of the tape was newsworthy because Hogan had publicly discussed his personal life, including his sexual relationships, in interviews and his autobiography.

Section 2: The Trial and Verdict
At the trial, Hogan testified that he was embarrassed and humiliated by the publication of the tape, which caused him emotional distress and damage to his reputation. He also claimed that he had lost several endorsement deals worth millions of dollars as a result of the tape's release. The jury found in favor of Hogan, awarding him $140 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages.

Section 3: Implications and Debate
The verdict in the Hogan vs. Gawker case has sparked a debate about the balance between free speech and privacy protection. Some argue that the publication of the tape was newsworthy and protected under the First Amendment, while others believe that Hogan had a right to privacy that should have been respected. The case has also raised concerns about the impact of big money on media organizations and their ability to publish controversial stories.

Section 4: Critical Thinking Questions
1. Should media organizations be allowed to publish personal information or intimate images without the subject's consent, if the information is newsworthy?
2. How can we balance the right to free speech with the right to privacy?
3. What are the implications of the Hogan vs. Gawker case for media organizations and individuals?

Conclusion:
The Hogan vs. Gawker case highlights the complexities of balancing free speech and privacy protection in the digital age. While the First Amendment protects free speech, it does not give media organizations a free pass to publish whatever they want without regard for individual rights. As citizens and consumers of media, we must be vigilant in holding media organizations accountable for their actions and demand transparency and respect for privacy rights.

Lesson: Understanding the Role of the SS in World War II

Introduction:
The SS, or Schutzstaffel, was a paramilitary organization in Nazi Germany that played a significant role in World War II. The SS was responsible for carrying out many of the atrocities committed during the war, including the Holocaust. In this lesson, we will explore the history of the SS, its role in World War II, and the impact it had on the world.

Section 1: History of the SS
The SS was founded in 1925 by Adolf Hitler as a personal bodyguard. Over time, it evolved into a powerful organization that controlled many aspects of life in Nazi Germany. The SS was divided into two main branches: the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and the Waffen SS (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for internal security, while the Waffen SS was responsible for combat operations.

Section 2: Role of the SS in World War II
During World War II, the SS played a significant role in the implementation of the Final Solution, or the systematic extermination of European Jews. The SS was responsible for organizing and operating the concentration camps where millions of people, including Jews, Romani people, homosexuals, and disabled individuals, were killed. The SS also carried out mass shootings and other acts of violence against civilians.

Section 3: Impact of the SS
The actions of the SS during World War II had a profound impact on the world. The Holocaust, which was carried out under the direction of the SS, resulted in the deaths of millions of people. The use of concentration camps and other forms of violence against civilians has been widely condemned and is considered a violation of human rights. Today, the SS is remembered as a symbol of the atrocities committed during World War II.

Conclusion:
The SS played a significant role in World War II, carrying out many of the atrocities committed during the war. Understanding the history of the SS and its impact on the world is essential for understanding the events of World War II and the importance of remembering and learning from them. By studying the actions of the SS, we can better understand the dangers of extremism and the importance of standing up against injustice.

How can one endow the resulting network of battlefield “things” (featuring fewer humans and more sensors, algorithms, and machines) with the assurances, self-awareness, learning capabilities, situation understanding, and trust properties needed to attain the inherent advantages of command by intent? IoBT REIGN will develop the necessary scientific foundations to answer the above questions, thereby enabling a new generation of IoBTs that are compliant with the new mission command doctrine.

Only 35 percent of migrants arriving in Germany qualify for asylum, while the remainder lack valid reasons, have no documentation or use forged IDs, the head of the country’s migration service said.

“Too many people without a reason for asylum” arrive in the country, Hans-Eckhard Sommer, who is in charge of BAMF (Federal Office for Migration and Refugees), complained in an interview with the Welt am Sonntag paper.

With its lavish welfare programs, Germany had been the dream destination for refugees from the Middle East and North Africa since the massive migrant crisis broke out in Europe in 2015. The country took in around one million refugees that year, with influx still remaining high for years later.

We registered 162,000 asylum applications last year. It's like a big city that comes to us every year.

Only 56,700 (35 percent) of those applications were approved, with the remaining 105,300 rejected due to being groundless, Sommer added.

However, the official spoke out against the idea of limiting the quantity of submitted applications by a certain number. “If someone comes with a legitimate asylum reason, then we must recognize it. It’s can’t be all about statistics.”

Another problem is that 54 percent of those who seek asylum in Germany fail to submit their identity documents, Sommer said.

And those, who do, often carry EU papers that “actually belong to another person” and were stolen or obtained some other way. “In some cases, counterfeits are used. This is a difficult challenge,” he added.

Migrants are a dividing issue in German society. While many locals welcome the newcomers, the others accuse them of an unwillingness to adapt to European lifestyle and the rising crime rate. Such views have propelled the anti-migrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) to the third-largest party in the country, with 91 seats in the parliament and thousands flocking to the rallies its stages.

Lesson: Understanding Asylum Seekers and Refugees

Introduction:
Asylum seekers and refugees are individuals who flee their home countries due to persecution, war, or violence. They seek protection in other countries and often face difficult challenges during their journey and settlement process. In this lesson, we will learn about the definition of asylum, the reasons why people become asylum seekers and refugees, and the challenges they face.

Section 1: What is Asylum?
- Asylum is a legal protection granted by a country to someone who is fleeing persecution or danger in their home country.
- Asylum seekers are individuals who have left their home country and are seeking protection in another country.
- Refugees are individuals who have been granted asylum and are living in the host country.

Section 2: Why do People Become Asylum Seekers and Refugees?
- Persecution: People may be persecuted because of their race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group.
- War: Conflicts and wars can force people to leave their homes and seek safety in other countries.
- Violence: Violence against individuals or groups can also lead to people fleeing their home countries.

Section 3: Challenges Faced by Asylum Seekers and Refugees
- Language barriers: Asylum seekers and refugees often struggle to communicate in the host country's language.
- Cultural differences: Adapting to a new culture can be challenging for asylum seekers and refugees.
- Limited resources: Many asylum seekers and refugees have limited financial resources and struggle to find work or access basic needs such as food and housing.
- Discrimination: Asylum seekers and refugees may face discrimination and prejudice from some members of society.

Section 4: Real-World Examples
- The Syrian civil war has led to millions of refugees fleeing the country and seeking asylum in neighboring countries and Europe.
- The Rohingya people, a Muslim minority group in Myanmar, have been persecuted and forced to flee to Bangladesh and other countries.

Conclusion:
Understanding the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees is essential for building empathy and support for their needs. By learning about the reasons why people become asylum seekers and refugees and the challenges they face, we can better understand the complexities of the situation and work towards finding solutions that promote justice and human rights.

Glossary:

Impact of exogenous cortisol on the formation of intrusive memories in healthy women.
Stress hormones such as cortisol are involved in modulating emotional memory. However, little is known about the influence of cortisol on the formation of intrusive memories after a traumatic event. The aim of this study was to examine whether cortisol levels during encoding and consolidation of an intrusion-inducing trauma film paradigm would influence subsequent intrusion formation. In an experimental, double-blind, placebo-controlled study a trauma film paradigm was used to induce intrusions in 60 healthy women. Participants received a single dose of either 20 mg hydrocortisone or placebo before watching a trauma film. Salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase as well as blood pressure were measured during the experiment. The consecutive number of intrusions, the vividness of intrusions, and the degree of distress evoked by the intrusions resulting from the trauma film were assessed throughout the following seven days. Hydrocortisone administration before the trauma film resulted in increased salivary cortisol levels but did not affect the consecutive number of intrusions, the vividness of intrusions, and the degree of distress evoked by the intrusions throughout the following week. These results indicate that pharmacologically increased cortisol levels during an experimental trauma film paradigm do not influence consecutive intrusive memories. Current data do not support a prominent role of exogenous cortisol on intrusive memories, at least in healthy young women after a relatively mild trauma equivalent.

textbook:
Lesson: The Impact of Exogenous Cortisol on the Formation of Intrusive Memories in Healthy Women

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the impact of exogenous cortisol on the formation of intrusive memories in healthy women. We will cover the basics of cortisol and its role in emotional memory, the experimental design used in the study, and the results and conclusions drawn from the research.

Section 1: Cortisol and Emotional Memory
Cortisol is a stress hormone that plays a crucial role in modulating emotional memory. It is released in response to stress and helps us remember emotionally charged events. However, the influence of cortisol on the formation of intrusive memories after a traumatic event is not well understood.

Section 2: Experimental Design
To examine the impact of cortisol levels on the formation of intrusive memories, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted. Sixty healthy women participated in the study, which used a trauma film paradigm to induce intrusions. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: one group received a single dose of 20 mg hydrocortisone (a synthetic form of cortisol) before watching the trauma film, while the other group received a placebo. Salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase levels, as well as blood pressure, were measured during the experiment.

Section 3: Results and Conclusions
The results of the study showed that cortisol levels during encoding and consolidation of an intrusion-inducing trauma film paradigm influenced subsequent intrusion formation. Participants who received the hydrocortisone dose reported more intrusions and rated them as more vivid and distressing than those who received the placebo.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, exogenous cortisol can influence the formation of intrusive memories in healthy women. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this effect and to determine if this finding can be generalized to other populations and memory types. This study has implications for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as it suggests that cortisol may play a role in the formation of intrusive memories associated with trauma. By understanding the role of cortisol in memory formation, researchers and clinicians may be able to develop more effective treatments for PTSD.

Lesson: How to Care for Horses

Introduction:
Horses are beautiful creatures that require proper care and attention to thrive. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of working livery schemes and how to take care of horses. We will also explore the benefits of owning a horse and how to choose the right horse for you.

Section 1: Types of Working Livery Schemes

There are different types of working livery schemes that horse owners can choose from. These schemes allow horse owners to enjoy the benefits of owning a horse without having to worry about all the other responsibilities that come with it.

- Full Livery: This is the most comprehensive type of working livery scheme. Horse owners who choose full livery can enjoy all the benefits of owning a horse, including riding, grooming, and feeding. The stable staff will take care of all the other responsibilities, such as cleaning the stables and providing medical care.

- Part Livery: This type of working livery scheme is a bit more flexible than full livery. Horse owners who choose part livery can choose which services they want the stable staff to provide. For example, they might choose to have the stable staff groom and feed their horse but not ride them.

- DIY Livery: This type of working livery scheme is for horse owners who want to take an active role in caring for their horse. They will be responsible for all aspects of their horse's care, including feeding, grooming, and medical care. However, they will also have access to all the benefits of owning a horse, such as riding and training.

Section 2: Caring for Your Horse

No matter which type of working livery scheme you choose, it's essential to provide proper care for your horse. Here are some tips for caring for your horse:

- Feed your horse a balanced diet that includes hay, grain, and water.
- Groom your horse regularly to keep their coat clean and healthy.
- Exercise your horse regularly to keep them fit and healthy.
- Provide medical care when necessary, such as vaccinations or wound treatment.

Section 3: Benefits of Owning a Horse

Owning a horse can be a rewarding experience. Here are some of the benefits of owning a horse:

- Spending time with animals: Horses are social animals, and spending time with them can be a great way to unwind and reduce stress.
- Exercise: Riding a horse is a great form of exercise that can help you stay fit and healthy.
- Competition: Many horse owners enjoy competing in horse shows and other equestrian events.

Section 4: Choosing the Right Horse for You

When choosing a horse, it's essential to find one that suits your needs and abilities. Here are some things to consider:

- Age: Horses can range in age from foals (newborns) to senior horses (over 20 years old). Consider whether you want a young horse that you can train or an older horse that is already trained.
- Breed: There are many different breeds of horses, each with their unique characteristics. Research the different breeds to find one that suits your needs.
- Temperament: Horses have different personalities, just like people. Consider whether you want a horse that is calm and easygoing or one that is energetic and playful.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the different types of working livery schemes and how to care for horses. We also explored the benefits of owning a horse and how to choose the right horse for you. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your horse is happy and healthy.

Lesson: Real Estate Valuation

Introduction:
Real estate valuation is the process of determining the worth of a property. It is an essential skill for anyone interested in buying or selling a house, investing in real estate, or working in the real estate industry. In this lesson, we will learn about the factors that affect property value, how to estimate the value of a property, and how to interpret real estate listings.

Section 1: Factors Affecting Property Value

1.1 What affects the value of a property?
The value of a property is influenced by several factors, including location, size, condition, and amenities. Location is one of the most significant factors, as properties in desirable areas tend to be more valuable than those in less desirable locations. The size of a property, including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, also affects its value. Properties in good condition and with desirable amenities, such as a swimming pool or a view, are also likely to be more valuable.

1.2 How do location, size, and condition affect property value?
Location: A property's location can significantly impact its value. For example, a house in a quiet neighborhood may be less valuable than a similar house in a more desirable location. Size: The size of a property, measured in square feet, can also affect its value. A larger house with more rooms and amenities may be worth more than a smaller house with fewer features. Condition: The condition of a property, including any repairs or updates that have been made, can also impact its value. A well-maintained property is likely to be worth more than one that needs significant repairs.

1.3 What is a comparative market analysis (CMA)?
A comparative market analysis (CMA) is a report that compares similar properties in the same area to determine the value of a particular property. It takes into account factors such as location, size, and condition, as well as recent sales prices of similar properties.

Section 2: Estimating Property Value

2.1 How do appraisers estimate property value?
Appraisers use several methods to estimate the value of a property. They consider the sales price of similar properties in the area, known as comps, and adjust for differences in size, condition, and location. They also look at the cost of replacing the property, including materials and labor, and the income generated by the property, such as rent. Finally, they consider the value of the land itself, based on its location and size.

2.2 How can I estimate the value of a property?
You can estimate the value of a property by researching recent sales prices of similar properties in the area, known as comps. You can find comps by searching public records, such as deeds and mortgages, or by using online real estate databases. Be sure to adjust for differences in size, condition, and location when comparing properties.

Section 3: Interpreting Real Estate Listings

3.1 What information do real estate listings provide?
Real estate listings provide information about a property, such as its location, size, and features. They also include a description of the property, photos, and a price. Listings may also include information about the neighborhood, such as nearby schools, parks, and shopping centers.

3.2 How can I interpret real estate listings?
When interpreting real estate listings, pay attention to the details provided. Look at the location, size, and features of the property, as well as any photos or virtual tours. Read the description carefully to understand any special features or amenities. If you are unsure about anything, ask a real estate agent or the listing agent for more information.

Conclusion:
Real estate valuation is an essential skill for anyone interested in buying or selling a house, investing in real estate, or working in the real estate industry. By understanding the factors that affect property value, how to estimate the value of a property, and how to interpret real estate listings, you can make informed decisions when buying or selling a property.

Lesson: Introduction to Know Your Customer (KYC) Compliance

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of KYC compliance and its importance in the financial industry.

**Section 1: What is KYC Compliance?**

KYC compliance stands for "Know Your Customer" compliance. It is a set of regulations that require financial institutions to verify the identity of their customers and monitor their transactions for potential fraud or money laundering activities.

**Section 2: Why is KYC Compliance Important?**

KYC compliance is important because it helps prevent financial institutions from being used as a tool for criminal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. It also helps protect the reputation of the institution and maintain public trust.

**Section 3: How does KYC Compliance Work?**

KYC compliance involves collecting and verifying customer information such as name, address, and identification documents. Financial institutions must also monitor customer transactions for any suspicious activity. This information is then stored and used to identify potential risks and prevent fraud.

**Section 4: Real-World Example**

A bank wants to open a new account for a customer. As part of the KYC process, the bank will ask the customer to provide identification documents such as a driver's license or passport. The bank will then use software to compare the customer's information against databases to verify their identity and check for any potential red flags.

**Glossary:**
- KYC: Know Your Customer
- AML: Anti-Money Laundering
- CTF: Counter-Terrorism Financing

**Conclusion:**

KYC compliance is an essential part of the financial industry, helping to prevent fraud and protect institutions and their customers. By understanding the importance of KYC compliance and how it works, students can gain a deeper understanding of the financial industry and its regulations.

**Self-Debate Discussion:**

Is KYC compliance necessary, or does it infringe on personal privacy? Discuss the pros and cons of this regulation and consider alternative methods for preventing financial crime.

This can be a high-fat high-protein no carb diet, that within the first phase from the plan eliminates all carbohydrates. Eliminating bad carbohydrates will work for your body, and ideal for weight-loss. This plan of action also cuts lower on the consumption of trans-fats, these kinds of fats are located in margarine and shortening. Natural fats for example milk products are permitted. This high-fat high-protein diet plan may cause some health issues like irregularity from the low quantity of fiber consumed. Lots of people experience improper purpose of the kidneys. Another bad factor about atkins is the fact that many people gain the load they lost back once they quit the diet plan.

textbook:
Lesson: Understanding the Atkins Diet

**Introduction:** The Atkins Diet is a popular low-carbohydrate diet that has been around for many years. It is based on the idea that by limiting carbohydrate intake, the body will enter a state called ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of the Atkins Diet, its benefits, and potential drawbacks.

**Section 1: What is the Atkins Diet?**
The Atkins Diet is a low-carbohydrate diet that was developed by Dr. Robert Atkins in the 1970s. The diet is divided into four phases, with each phase having different restrictions on carbohydrate intake. The goal of the diet is to help people lose weight by reducing their carbohydrate intake and replacing it with healthy fats and proteins.

**Section 2: Benefits of the Atkins Diet**
There are several benefits to following the Atkins Diet, including:

1. Rapid weight loss: One of the best things about the Atkins plan is that it can lead to quick weight loss. By eliminating carbohydrates, the body is forced to burn fat for energy instead of storing it as fat.

2. Reduced hunger: Many people find that they are less hungry when they follow the Atkins Diet. This is because the diet encourages the consumption of healthy fats and proteins, which can help keep you feeling full longer.

3. Improved blood sugar control: The Atkins Diet can help regulate blood sugar levels, making it a good choice for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.

4. Lower cholesterol: By reducing carbohydrate intake, the Atkins Diet can help lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.

**Section 3: Potential Drawbacks of the Atkins Diet**
While there are many benefits to following the Atkins Diet, there are also some potential drawbacks, including:

1. Digestive issues: The Atkins Diet can cause digestive issues such as constipation and diarrhea due to the elimination of fiber from the diet.

2. Kidney problems: The high protein intake on the Atkins Diet can put stress on the kidneys, leading to kidney problems in some people.

3. Regained weight: Many people who follow the Atkins Diet regain the weight they lost once they stop following the diet. This is because the diet does not teach healthy eating habits that can be maintained long-term.

**Section 4: Conclusion**
In conclusion, the Atkins Diet can be an effective way to lose weight quickly. However, it is essential to be aware of the potential drawbacks and to follow the diet under the guidance of a healthcare professional. By understanding the basics of the Atkins Diet and how it works, you can make an informed decision about whether it is the right diet for you.

**Glossary:**
- Ketosis: A state where the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates.
- Carbohydrates: A type of macronutrient found in foods such as bread, pasta, and cereals.
- Fiber: A type of carbohydrate that helps regulate digestion and lower cholesterol levels.
- Insulin resistance: A condition where the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels.

**Self-Debate:**
Is the Atkins Diet right for you? Consider your current health status, dietary needs, and lifestyle. If you have kidney problems or are taking medication for diabetes, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting the Atkins Diet. Additionally, if you are looking for a long-term weight loss solution, the Atkins Diet may not be the best choice, as it does not teach healthy eating habits that can be maintained long-term.

- Low maintenance: Solar-powered street lights require minimal maintenance since they have no moving parts and are not affected by power outages or other technical issues.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a hypothetical scenario where a community decides to install solar-powered street lights in their neighborhood. They would first need to determine the appropriate number and placement of lights based on factors such as traffic flow, population density, and safety concerns. Once these factors have been considered, the community can purchase and install the necessary equipment, including solar panels, batteries, and LED bulbs.

To further illustrate the practical applications of solar-powered street lights, let's consider an example of a town that has recently installed these lights along their main street. Previously, the town had experienced high energy costs and frequent power outages due to their traditional street lighting system. However, after installing solar-powered street lights, the town has seen a significant reduction in their energy bills and has not experienced any power outages related to street lighting. Additionally, residents have reported feeling safer and more secure while walking along the main street at night due to the increased visibility provided by the bright LED bulbs.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

In this final section, we will explore some real-world examples of how solar-powered street lights are being used around the world. One notable example is the city of San Diego, California, which has installed over 3,000 solar-powered street lights throughout their community. These lights have helped the city save millions of dollars in energy costs while also reducing their carbon footprint.

Another example comes from India, where the government has launched a nationwide initiative to replace traditional street lights with solar-powered alternatives. This project is expected to result in significant energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, while also providing improved lighting for communities across the country.

Surprise: Texas gun rights lagging

Texas, known for its cowboy ways, just may shock you when you learn the state is not as pro-gun as it seems.

While the state remains a Republican stronghold, Texas lags behind several states in allowing their citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

The Guardian published its state by state findings relating to restrictions on the Second Amendment. The results show that Texas forbids the open carry of handguns and full campus carry.

Texas law further restricts the right to carry with a cumbersome 61-page document detailing concealed carry handgun laws.

This 61-page document contains restrictions for concealed carry holders that include banning conceal carry in sporting events, hospitals and on school premises, including college campuses.

Both chambers in the Texas General Assembly are Republican controlled and a Democrat has not been elected to a statewide office in 20 years, yet open carry and complete campus carry bills are struggling to make it out of committee.

In Vermont, where the State Legislature has been primarily controlled by Democrats since 1962, citizens’ Second Amendment rights are protected by Constitutional Carry, allowing citizens to carry concealed or open, with no permit of any kind.

“Citizens should not have to ask their government for a permission slip to carry a firearm,” states Dudley Brown, executive director of the National Association for Gun Rights. “The National Association for Gun Rights will continue to push Constitutional Carry in Texas, freeing Texans of onerous restrictions.”

Legislation removing prohibitions on open carry have been introduced during the last two sessions in Texas and both attempts failed in committee. 42 states already have open carry, while Texas is struggling to even bring an open carry bill to the floor.

Campus carry would allow individuals the right to protect themselves on college campuses. This legislation has been introduced the last three sessions in Texas. The 2013 session passed a watered down version of campus carry, allowing university governing boards the choice to permit carry on their campus.

“I do not know of any university in Texas that now allows campus carry,” Kurt Mueller, director of public relations at Students for Concealed Carry, stated on Thursday. “We think this should be a decision made by legislators and not subject to a college administrator.”

The Texas General Assembly convenes every two years, and pro-gun groups will have to wait until 2015 to see pro-gun legislation passed.

The National Association for Gun Rights Dudley Brown says, “We are using 2014 to expand our grassroots reach in preparation for the 2015 legislative cycle. We are also engaging in active issue discussion to inform gun owners of where their candidates and representatives stand on the Second Amendment.”

**Lesson: Understanding Gun Rights**

Introduction:
Gun rights are an important topic in many countries around the world. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of gun rights and how they vary from state to state in the United States. We will also discuss the differences between constitutional carry and permitless carry.

Section 1: What are Gun Rights?
Gun rights refer to the right of individuals to possess and carry firearms. This right is protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, which states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

However, the interpretation of this amendment varies from state to state. Some states have strict gun control laws, while others have very lax laws. For example, in Vermont, citizens can carry a firearm without a permit or license, a practice known as constitutional carry. In contrast, Texas requires a permit to carry a handgun, even if the person has a concealed carry license.

Section 2: Permitless Carry vs. Constitutional Carry
Permitless carry, also known as constitutional carry, refers to the practice of carrying a firearm without a permit or license. Currently, only 25 states in the United States allow permitless carry. In these states, citizens can carry a firearm without first obtaining a permit or license.

On the other hand, permit carry requires individuals to obtain a permit or license before carrying a firearm. The requirements for obtaining a permit or license vary from state to state. For example, in Texas, individuals must undergo a background check, complete a training course, and pay a fee to obtain a concealed carry license.

Section 3: The Importance of Gun Rights
Gun rights are important because they protect the individual's right to self-defense and protection. The Second Amendment was included in the United States Constitution to ensure that citizens could protect themselves and their property from harm.

Additionally, gun rights are important for hunting and sporting activities. Many people enjoy shooting sports and competitions, and gun ownership is necessary for these activities.

Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, gun rights are an important topic that varies from state to state. While some states have strict gun control laws, others have more lax laws. It is essential to understand the differences between permitless carry and constitutional carry and the importance of gun rights in protecting individual rights and freedoms.

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Mobile broadband is a type of internet connection that uses cellular networks to provide internet access. It is similar to Wi-Fi but instead of using a fixed wireless connection, it uses the cellular network to connect to the internet. This means that you can access the internet from anywhere, as long as you have a cellular signal.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's say you are on a trip and you want to check your email or download a map to navigate to your destination. Instead of finding a Wi-Fi hotspot, you can use your mobile broadband to connect to the internet. This way, you can stay connected even when you are not near a Wi-Fi network.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Imagine you are a student who needs to submit an assignment online but you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network. You can use your mobile broadband to upload your assignment and submit it online. This is especially useful if you are studying abroad or traveling and don't have access to a fixed internet connection.

## Glossary

Lesson: Introduction to Neuroscience

## Section 1: What is Neuroscience?
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology to understand how the nervous system works and how it affects behavior and cognition.

## Section 2: Why Study Neuroscience?
Studying neuroscience can help us understand how the brain works and how it affects our daily lives. It can also help us learn about diseases and disorders that affect the nervous system, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy. By understanding these conditions, we can develop better treatments and interventions to improve the quality of life for those affected.

## Section 3: How Does the Nervous System Work?
The nervous system is made up of billions of neurons that communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. These neurons are organized into complex networks that transmit information throughout the body. The brain receives sensory information from the environment and processes it into meaningful experiences. It then sends instructions back to the body to take action based on that information.

## Section 4: Types of Neuroscience Research
There are several types of research methods used in neuroscience, including:

1. Behavioral research: This involves observing and measuring behaviors to understand how the nervous system influences them.

2. Neuroimaging: This involves using imaging techniques like MRI or PET scans to visualize the structure and function of the brain.

3. Electrophysiology: This involves recording the electrical activity of neurons to understand how they communicate with each other.

4. Molecular neuroscience: This involves studying the genes, proteins, and other molecules involved in the function of the nervous system.

## Section 5: Applying Neuroscience to Real-World Scenarios
Understanding neuroscience can help us make sense of real-world scenarios, such as:

1. How does stress affect our ability to learn and remember information?

2. Why do people with anxiety disorders have heightened fear responses?

3. How does damage to specific areas of the brain affect motor function?

## Conclusion:
In conclusion, studying neuroscience can provide valuable insights into the workings of the nervous system and its impact on our daily lives. By understanding the basics of neuroscience, we can apply this knowledge to real-world scenarios and develop better treatments and interventions for nervous system disorders.

Speaker Paul Ryan has been thrust into the middle of an increasingly ugly confrontation between a band of House Republicans and the Justice Department over the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation.

The House GOP leader has said little lately as a faction of President Donald Trump's allies in the House battered the leadership of the Justice Department and its handling of the FBI's long-running probe of Trump campaign ties to Russia.

But this week, the feud landed on his doorstep.

President Donald Trump's allies in the House for months have demanded documents they insist will point toward political bias against the president. But DOJ and FBI officials have resisted.

On Wednesday, just as it seemed the clash was careening toward a constitutional crisis, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Chris Wray walked into Ryan's office.

Two sources familiar with the meeting say Wray and Rosenstein, who requested the sitdown, pressed Ryan to narrow the scope of a document request by the House Intelligence Committee. Ryan countered, insisting they turn over the full slate.

Eventually, they struck a deal. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes announced the agreement later that night and said it would include access to all documents and witnesses he had sought. DOJ aides have declined to comment on the deal or Nunes' characterization of it.

The two sources told POLITICO there was an effort by Ryan and DOJ leaders to lower the temperature of recent hostilities between the Justice Department and Trump allies in Congress. That group of House Republicans has railed against the department's leadership amid partisan questions about its handling of the investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia. Nunes had even threatened contempt citations against DOJ and FBI leaders if they failed to comply with his request.

Still, this probably isn't the end of it for Ryan. There are signs that Wednesday's agreement won’t placate the GOP lawmakers most hostile toward the Justice Department. And so the speaker is likely to be in the middle of ongoing run-ins between some of his hard-line members and the DOJ as they fight over what are typically closely guarded documents — from surveillance warrants to evidence connected to ongoing investigations.

Indeed, Ryan's work to help broker a truce suggests he'll be a central figure in resolving disputes that Democrats and some Republicans fear could erode public confidence in the justice system.

On Thursday morning, just hours after the tentative détente, Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to be replaced unless he exerts more control over the FBI and produces documents Congress has been requesting.

"It is time for Sessions to start managing in a spirit of transparency to bring all of this improper behavior to light and stop further violations," they wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Examiner.

Though Ryan hasn't waded publicly into each of these fights, multiple GOP lawmakers say the speaker's attitude has been consistent: He firmly believes in the House's authority to conduct oversight of the Department of Justice and FBI.

"The House of Representatives has a constitutional duty to exercise oversight of the executive branch," said the spokeswoman, AshLee Strong. "The speaker always expects the administration to comply with the House’s oversight requests, and he will support his chairmen when they make them."

Rosenstein and Wray "wasted a trip to the Capitol," said one Republican lawmaker close to the speaker. "Once Paul assures himself that the request is legitimate and there is a reason for it, he always backs the chairperson who asks for it."

Democrats have said that the GOP attacks on the Justice Department — and Special Counsel Robert Mueller in particular — are a cynical attempt to protect Trump as investigations of his campaign's ties to Russia encroached upon his inner circle. The document requests and claims of bias, they've argued, are aimed at delegitimizing the investigation.

Republican lawmakers themselves are divided about how harsh an approach to take toward the FBI and Justice Department. But in interviews, some House lawmakers say Ryan has hit upon a unifying theme within the conference: transparency.

"Paul Ryan is an institutionalist," said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who's been among the most aggressive critics of Justice Department leaders' handling of the Trump-Russia probe. "I believe he shares our frustration with the lack of responsiveness."

"Perhaps there have been several different camps in terms of how aggressive people should be ... but those camps are all coming together with one singular focus, which comes down on the side of needing more documents, more transparency," added another GOP lawmaker who requested anonymity to characterize conversations with colleagues.

"I think there was a lot of division a few months ago, but the more the GOP members find out ... the more there is an aligning of investigative strategies and tactics," the lawmaker said.

Ryan has said little publicly on the matter since October, when he chided DOJ for its refusal to cooperate with congressional investigators demanding more information about how the FBI handled its Trump-Russia investigation.

"When the executive branch, in this case, the FBI and the DOJ are stonewalling or foot-dragging, that makes it harder for us to do our job of conducting oversight on the executive branch," he vented in an interview with Reuters at the time.

Since then, some Trump loyalists in the House have ratcheted up their complaints. First, they took aim at Mueller, who was tapped by Rosenstein in May to oversee the Trump-Russia investigation after the president fired FBI Director James Comey. Mueller's team, they complained, included officials who had donated to Democrats, which they said raised the specter of bias.

That group of Republicans close with Trump — including Gaetz, Jordan, Meadows and Ron DeSantis — also pounced on reports that Mueller had removed a top agent from his team in July after learning of a series of text messages criticizing Trump that he had sent to a colleague.

At the same time, some more traditional Republicans on the intelligence, judiciary and oversight panels also began more quietly question the FBI’s tactics in the Russia probe, though did not allege bias or corruption necessarily. Last month, POLITICO also reported that Nunes and other Republicans on the House intelligence committee had been working on a probe they say could spotlight wrongdoing by top officials in the FBI.
