QhoD

#GraViz is a sizable addition to the #QhoD editions:

GraViz editors Nilab Saeedi and Michael Vogelsberger, and PI Yasir Yılmaz just published the first batch of grand vizierial letters from archives in #Vienna.

qhod.net/context:graviz?locale now includes letters from Sokollu Mehmed Pasha (in office: 1565–1579) in #Ottoman, German and Latin – including modern English translations for better #access.

Enjoy (and report if you spot any mistakes!)

New link tile on the qhod.net start page pointing to the editions of "The Ottoman Grand Vizierate 1560s to 1760s". Image background is split between a latin language and script letter and an Ottoman Turkish arabopersian script letter.

“Just $16.5m of #Labor’s promised $1bn mental health package – or 1.65% – is due to be spent in the next financial year, according to official policy costings that reveal some new care centres might not open until 2029.

Anthony Albanese this month unveiled a major suite of policies to make it easier for the public – in particular young Australians – to access free mental health treatment.
…
The bulk of the #funding – roughly $878m – is #NotAllocated until the 2027-28 and 2028-29 financial years, as the services are progressively built and upgraded.”

The fine print.

It's unclear why #DOGE would need #access to #NLRB files that contain personally identifiable #information to complete its *mission* of improving *efficiency*, outside of employment records for potential reductions in force. The agency publishes publicly available annual performance & accountability reports & budget justifications that former NLRB members told #NPR would likely be sufficient in looking for ways to cut costs.

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

The risk/benefit calculus of providing #free & #open #access to individual #genetic #data in 2025 is very different compared to 14 years ago. And so, sunsetting openSNP – along with deleting the data stored within it – feels like it is the most responsible act of stewardship for these data today tzovar.as/sunsetting-opensnp/
