Humans at Work in the Digital Age explores the roots of twenty-first-century cultures of digital textual labor, mapping the diverse physical and cognitive acts involved, and recovering the invisible workers and work that support digital technologies. Drawing on 14 case studies organized around four sites of work, this book shows how definitions of labor have been influenced by the digital technologies that employees use to produce, interpret, or process text. Incorporating methodology and theory from a range of disciplines and highlighting labor issues related to topics as diverse as census tabulation, market research, electronic games, digital archives, and 3D modeling, contributors uncover the roles played by race, class, gender, sexuality, and national politics in determining how narratives of digital labor are constructed and erased. Because each chapter is centered on the human cost of digital technologies, however, it is individual people immersed in cultures of technology who are the focus of the volume, rather than the technologies themselves. Humans at Work in the Digital Age shows how humanistic inquiry can be a valuable tool in the emerging conversation surrounding digital textual labor. As such, this book will be essential reading for academics and postgraduate students engaged in the study of digital humanities; human-computer interaction; digital culture and social justice; race, class, gender, and sexuality in digital realms; the economics of the internet; and technology in higher education.

As the US faced its lowest levels of reported trust in government, the COVID-19 crisis revealed the essential service that various federal agencies provide as sources of information. This Element explores variations in trust across various levels of government and government agencies based on a nationally-representative survey conducted in March of 2020. First, it examines trust in agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services, state health departments, and local health care providers. This includes variation across key characteristics including party identification, age, and race. Second, the Element explores the evolution of trust in health-related organizations throughout 2020 as the pandemic continued. The Element concludes with a discussion of the implications for agency-specific assessments of trust and their importance as we address historically low levels of trust in government. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Young's Literal Translation of the Bible by Robert Young This section of the Old testament is the collection of the first five books often known as the Torah, it also contains the last 8 verses of Deuteronomy which were often omitted as they describe the death of Moses, and as tradition dictates that he wrote the books it is rather obvious that this cannot be so when we take the description of his death into account. The majority of scholars today all agree that the Torah does not have a single author, and that it was complied over many centuries. There was a general consensus from the 19th century onwards about the documentary hypothesis, which suggests that the five books were created c.450 BCE by combining four originally independent sources, known as the Jahwist, or J (about 900 BCE), the Elohist, or E (about 800 BCE), the Deuteronomist, or D, (about 600 BCE), and the Priestly source, or P (about 500 BCE).This idea has been questioned since the 1970's, and today there are many more theories but no consensus. This text is taken from the 'Robert Young's Literal Translation' published in 1862 It aimed to be a literal translation and remove the added poetic license given to the King James edition, this translation was made using the original Hebrew and Greek translations. Young even uses the present tense where most English translations use the past, because this conforms to the original Hebrew text. This version is printed with students of the text in mind, printed in a large A4 format and each verse and chapter is placed at the start of a new line for easy reference Genesis "creation" Exodus "departure" Leviticus refers to the Levites and the regulations that apply to their presence and service in the Temple, which form the bulk of the third book. Numbers contains a record of the numbering of the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai and later on the plain of Moab. Deuteronomy "second law" refers to the fifth book's recapitulation of the commandments reviewed by Moses before his death.

At the risk of tilting a windmill, poetry is an endangered species; an art form that is reluctant to use words that rhyme thus depriving the public of the pleasureable satisfaction of reading or hearing a poem written in rhyme. In fact, poetry that rhymes is in such short supply, the term "poetry" is frequently applied to short verses of prose, aka "free verse" to eliminate the complication of rhyming words. So "Sanity for Humanity" is my humble voice in the wilderness to inspire an outcry to offset this unfortunate trend.

The Gospel According to Thomas, commonly shortened to the Gospel of Thomas, is a well preserved early Christian, non-canonical sayings-gospel which many scholars believe provides insight into the Oral gospel traditions. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945, in one of a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. The Gospel of Thomas was found among a collection of fifty-two writings that included, in addition to an excerpt from Plato's Republic, gospels claiming to have been written by Jesus's disciple Philip. Scholars have speculated that the works were buried in response to a letter from Bishop Athanasius who for the first time declared a strict canon of Christian scripture. 1] The Coptic language text, the second of seven contained in what modern-day scholars have designated as Codex II, is composed of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus. 2] Almost half of these sayings resemble those found in the Canonical Gospels, while it is speculated that the other sayings were added from Gnostic tradition. 3] Its place of origin may have been Syria, where Thomasine traditions were strong. 4] The introduction states: "These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote them down." 5] Didymus (Greek) and Thomas (Aramaic) both mean "twin." Some critical scholars suspect that this reference to the Apostle Thomas is false, and that therefore the true author is unknown. 6] It is possible that the document originated within a school of early Christians, possibly proto-Gnostics. 7] Some critics further claim that even the description of Thomas as a "gnostic" gospel is based upon little other than the fact that it was found along with gnostic texts at Nag Hammadi. 8] The name of Thomas was also attached to the Book of Thomas the Contender, which was also in Nag Hammadi Codex II, and the Acts of Thomas. It is important to note, however, that while the Gospel of Thomas does not directly point to Jesus' divinity, it also does not directly contradict it, and therefore neither supports nor contradicts gnostic beliefs. When asked his identity in the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus usually deflects, ambiguously asking the disciples why they do not see what is right in front of them. This is similar to passages in the canonical gospels like John 12:16 and Luke 18:34. The text itself, however, continuously reflects Gnostic teachings by continuously referring to Jesus's sayings as "secret" and "mysterious," which were common gnostic catchphrases.
