Polaris is the Closest, Brightest Cepheid Variable. Very Recently, Something Changed.

The North Star is one of the most important stars in the Northern Hemisphere, guiding travelers for millennia. But it's also one of the most important stars to astronomers since it's the closest example of a classical Cepheid variable. Hubble used these stars to discover that galaxies are moving away from us in all directions. Astronomers have been measuring the brightness of Polaris for over a century, and its pulsation period was slowly increasing, but a few decades ago, the pulsation rate reversed. Polaris has a companion star that orbits every 29 years. Is that the cause?

So far in 2023 there have been 19 fatalities in Missouri* involving all-terrain vehicles. 12 have died in Polaris ATVs, including 6 minors. Non-Polaris ATVs accounted for 7 deaths (including 2 minors). In each occurance, none of the victims were wearing safety devices. Far too many people die in these things.

Making the cut again are #Polaris and Mobile Frame Zero.

The first is one of my favorite diceless games, resolving issues through an escalating series of ritual phrases in a setting which is simultaneously alien and doomed. Funny thing about a setting and situation which you know can never in the anywhere but tragedy: it completely frees you to do whatever you want and damn the consequences. Which is exactly what you want for Polaris.

Im aktuellen Semester haben wir an der #RUB erstmalig das im Projekt KI:edu.nrw (weiter-)entickelte #LearningAnalytics -System #POLARIS im Testbetrieb laufen lassen und bereits gute Erfahrungen gemacht: https://learning-aid.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/learning-analytics-infrastruktur-polaris-im-testbetrieb/

Ein zentrales Modul des Systems stellt die #RightsEngine dar, die auch auf der #LearningAID23 und konzeptionell auf der #DELFI23 (Preprint: https://learntech.rwth-aachen.de/global/show_document.asp?id=aaaaaaaaccgekzu) vorgestellt wird.

Att ha läst igenom nya Drakar och demoner verkar ha återväckt en del saker för mig. Har letat efter gamla grejer till DoD som jag skrivit, men det var på den tiden då man skrev för hand, och inte sparade på hårddiskar eller liknande. Verkar inte ha sparat något alls. Om det inte finns i lådorna hos min syster.
Men - jag har också börjat leta efter lite mer udda spel, och är lite betagen av det! #Polaris
