Everything I’m writing at the moment is like a draft. I’m creating a body of work I can rework into multiple books. Mostly non-fiction, but with some great ideas for fiction, including a fairy tale and fable about a princess and a mage.
There’s also a story about an alchemist who makes a momentus discovery, but flees an overzealous, draconian government into the depths of an ancient city, which becomes a metaphor for a spiritual transformation. He makes the horrible realization that, by discovering and relevating a true spiritual transformation that rivals competing faiths, he has broken an ancient seal restraining the materialization of demonic transplanar entities.
Yes! I’m Looking For an Editor
When I write those books, particularly the non-fiction. I’m hoping to involve an editor the entire time. So yes, I’m looking for someone who’d like to edit my work. Most of the valid negative feedback I’ve received deals with style, form, and a lack of illustrations or diagrams.

On Criticism
I love getting feedback on my writing, especially negative feedback, since it implies an opportunity for quick improvement. I value negative criticism much more than positive criticism, but I will disregard criticism when it’s invalid. If the source of criticism doesn’t clearly articulate their reasoning, this can occasionally be a test to see if I would be capable of filling in the blank. However, more often than not, if the criticism is a majority ad hominem, with little to no references to my ideas or arguments, it’s baseless and invalid at best.
 If you ever really get somewhere in life, you will find that you have to understand what defines you, what defines your work and how your work is an expression of yourself.  Your definition of yourself and your creative expression: that is what you have as an artist.
Your confidence conveys that.  If you don’t understand that or if you let any bozo tell you who you are, what your work means, or why you should change it, then you just don’t got it. Take every piece of advice with a healthy dose of skepticism because people likely don’t know you or your work, but they know confidence.
Why Is Novelty So Often Rejected?
In fact, if you truly have something new, they won’t understand it, but they’ll understand how you react to it and how strongly you defend your artistic direction. Further, a true artist doesn’t define his work for you. If s/he does, their art probably lacks depth. Almost any work acquires depth through mystery and most attempts by artists to clarify or define their work will flatten it. So, truly, if your work pushes boundaries or it’s captivating, people won’t understand it! In fact, for aestheticians and art critics, the degree to which your work defies comprehension by various audiences is a measure of your work’s value! Especially when it inspires fascination.
The truly mysterious is what we lust after. There are so many people in my life who publicly criticize my writing by deriding it as lacking sense, coherence, structure, sources or adherence to typical academic language. I’m so glad these people are idiots: they are proving that my work has value and these people would never do me any real favors. Please! They are clueless and let’s keep it that way!
Criticisms on Lack of Sources
The one criticism I hear most is a lack of sources! That’s not so bad, compared to what people could criticize, and they are all points which I fully understand. And honestly … an autodidact with no sources?! … Again, you’re doing me favors. It’s original content.
For some articles, that’s unacceptable. But again, I’m not an academic. Criticizing me for lack of sources? It’s basically some tool too sharp for his/her own good asking me to do something they very well know burdens me with more time investment than the average academic. I’m writing posts about dozens of different fields without university education. That academic experience I don’t have? The pragmatic value is the understanding required to navigate the groundbreaking studies in your major or subject of expertise. Not only do I have nearly zero familiarity with the de facto, highly-cited papers in any single field, I’m often combining one to four fields.
Ain’t nobody got time for that! That’s where most of the work happens when you write a 10,000-40,000 word master’s thesis. I’m not writing a thesis. I’m writing blogs. No one is grading me. I have about 100,000 words on deck and 300,000 words worth of content in vague outlines, with just as much on post-it notes.
Distributed Intellectual Property Attack
Speaking of post-it notes, I’m also in the middle of a distributed intellectual property attack, which has been going on for several years. Essentially, I realized: ain’t nobody gonna let David Conner win not nothin’! I mean c’mon! LOL … And so, instead of sitting on a mound of ideas lusting over my first entrepreneurship win, I’m just going to write about all of this and forget about profiting. I’ve never wanted money itself. I only wanted currency for influence. Including this disclaimer sounds lofty, but I only want to only release IP that is positive and beneficial.
I’ve found that my true power all along is by connecting the right people with the right people and ideas. I found that, while I may never amount to anything myself, I am perfectly content acheiving nothing and knowing that I’ve planted the the right seeds in the right places.

ᛝ Oneirontology ᛝ
When people no longer need to work and when computers are more capable of creation than people, the Singularity will threaten to destroy the incentivization structure that motivates people towards action. This kind of techno-nihilism could end up being corrosive.
To help counter this, I’ve been thinking about putting together a kind of quasi-religion. It’s called Oneirontology from the wordstem Oneiro, which implies dreaming. Perhaps I specify that Oneirism is something more along the lines of philosophy in practice than a religion. Another idea would be for augmenting self-improvement through cognition, as I’ve outlined in my Directive Cognitive Expansion article. The idea there is to empower people by training them to use their minds through art, science and meditation.
I’m a bit afraid what I write might be taken too seriously, but I think humanity needs to return to myth to connect with our roots and that through myth and through codified practices, we can inspire people to strive for self-improvement in the face of nihilism.
One idea for a practice is geared towards the need to protect individuality and find a way to stand up against nihilism. The episaga is aimed at addressing both. Everyone would have their version of a particular story which would be a meditation on something like Love or Justice or Heroism. American Eros is the first such story.
By maintaining a personal version through their life or collaborating with others on their version of a particular story, they are developing their ability to recognize/utilize/strengthen those traits in themselves and others. Furthermore, it represents individuality for the sake of individuality as we approach the end of individuality. Individuality can provide us with drive and purpose. This can help us stand up against nihilism.
I don’t see anyone else talking about an idea like the episaga. There are similar concepts, but this is specifically targeted towards addressing philosophical problems in the near-future. I know there are authors out there with whom this would really catch on.
Oh Tyche, might thee shine on me…
ᛝ Writing On Writing. And a Short Story ᛝ
If I Had the Chops to Write My Daedalian Magnum Corpus
If you had asked me at age nineteen to pick a career path I’d never explore, I would have immediately and emphatically answered with “Writer.” Recent exigent events seemed to have altered the course of my destiny. Such unquestionable axioms of reality suddenly reek of fallibility, e.g. “DC would never, under any circumstance, ever become a writer. You can count on that like the sun coming up.” Apparently this is no longer true.
In exploring the possibility of being a writer, I decided to explore and articulate my own writing process. I wrote an article about it. As a writer, it seems it’d be useful in finding an editor. The first thing I’d want to communicate to an editor is how I think about writing. I’ve enumerated the other elements of the writing process as Theme, Form, Plot, Characters and Style. As themes are the most important aspect of writing, IMO, I created a list of hundreds of themes, which I’ll include in part two of Daedalian Magnum Corpus.  Themes are why your work would be interesting or why they’d inspire discussion. There are tons of good stories and intriguing characters, but themes are where your work connects with the human condition.
And I wanted to empower people who’d want to write … I guess? My heads getting a bit big here LOL. I wanted to describe my own writing process, for my own purposes as a writer. So I ended up writing this. And I think it’s useful reading for anyone who wants to tell a story. If you’re making a video game or writing a screen play or just writing a journal, this article is useful.
American Eros: Or How to Fell a Souley
American Eros is first a short-story about love at first sight, without sight. It’s also a pitch for a revolutionary new concept that I’m calling an episaga, which is an open source myth. The idea is to tell a story describing how main characters were led to develop exactly what they needed in order to have that perfect love experience the next morning, when they least expected it.
Yes, there have been open source and collaborative books before, but this is a new age reworking of myth and I hope to inspire others to return to the true human storytelling tradition. The distinguishing idea of the episaga is that storytellers will keep several fixpoints mostly constant, and these include a handful of plot-points, characters, themes, etc. The fewer and the more general, the better! Storytellers can fork off of other versions of the myth or collaborate. The self-imposed restrictions help foster creativity.
To explain further here are several invariant plot points – fixpoints – which should mostly stay the same. And other people would contribute towards them. The fixpoints should be as generic as possible and there should only be a handful. Ideally, for plotpoints, just one or two, to conserve types of variation in form.
Oneironautics: Questing for Lucidity
I occasionally have the most vivid dreams. Oneironautics is a series where I describe some of my dreams. These are the ones where you wake up and you just have to write them down. If you’re looking for a laugh or something to freak you out a bit, then by all means, take a peek at my subconscious. The first in the series covers several dreams: one includes a Colombian drug lord and power tools and another includes a journey into the recesses of my mind, presented as a metaphor whereby I unlock some knowledge hidden away. And perhaps for my own good…
ᛝ Medical Sciences ᛝ
ᛝ Facets of Greatness ᛝ
This is a series on Leadership. Think of people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. What about local community leaders that you find motivating and inspiring? What is it that sparks leaders great and small to begin work on projects that seem monumental or impossible or hopeless? Why do they strive onwards where everyone else gives up? Why do they find success when others might work harder?
For leaders like Ghandi, IMO, he gained an opportunity because his non-violent tactics countered traditional resistance to social change. And his tactics and protests, perhaps by chance or by genius, built a movement. Ghandi was a master of social networking before Facebook or Twitter. Either he was very lucky and capitalized on his chance or he was a genius at networking through people. How could a fairly soft-spoken man like Ghandi inspire people throughout India at a time when the telecommunication system was still being developed there?
What makes these people different? What are those subtle aspects of their craft that have thus far eluded us? There must be something that makes these people different in a way. What do they know that the rest of us are missing out on? Would the world be a better place if many of these ideas were common knowledge? Yes, with the exception of some ideas, I think it would be a much better place. I wholeheartedly believe that a world full of empowered, knowledgable, wise people would certainly be a more peaceful world.

ᛝ Linguistics and Semiotics ᛝ
ᛝ Consciousness ᛝ
It’s important to note how lost I’d be without Coursera’s free online education. Those courses are such stellar opportunities and I never would have had the insights I did without them. The first was Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning class and it was mind-blowing. I was challenged at first, but by the second week, I was hooked. Taking this revolutionized my understanding and conceptualization of artificial intelligence.
The Nature of Space, Time and Information Implies Universal Language
This post pitches possibility of some language which constructed to mirror the kernel or apex of the structure of knowledge. It is built from the most basic structures of information. The thesis for this one is: the need to communicate & establish protocols without having to cross vast distances implies that every sufficiently advanced civilization would eventually uncover an identical language to communicate ideas, given enough time and development.
This is one of the articles for which I received significant backlash… from my family, who knows nothing about philosophy. I sat on the outline for months. The morning I was going to publish it (a few hours before) they sat me down and threatened to send me to the looney bin.  I’m lucky if I don’t get sent off for “treatment.” The way they approached handling me that day was reactive to my writing. Weird, right? My mom, brother and sister each refuse to read anything that I write. That’s so weird.
This article establishes the basis for a universal language. “Consciousness as a Continuum” establishes the possibility of a pre-existing medium through which we can all communicate instantly. Through the entire universe! Or at least, I entertain this idea. This has VAST implications for EPISTEMOLOGY and TECHNOLOGY!! I haven’t really heard anyone discuss this! So, how can someone say this isn’t philosophy and that it belongs on a futurism subreddit?! That’s !@#$’ing crazy!
Consciousness as a Continuum: Life, the Cosmos and You
This article undermines the Singularity by posing the possibility of threshold at which all civilizations in the universe will become capable of instant communication with all others. Thus, instant transmission of data & experience & knowledge to other civilizations. Imagine a galactic economy, where your value is established by the supply of computational power you can contributed to this cosmic quantum supercomputer to the sky!
This article generated controversy on Reddit’s Philosophy channel, though moderators quickly removed it. Users in other subreddits and a few not-very-supportive readers critiqued my work as rambling, but didn’t actually demostrate knowledge of the content. This further demonstrates their lack of familiarity with my subject matter in general! THANK YOU! You just proved my content was novel!
Regardless, this piece’s “rambling” nature is proof of genius: I didn’t have an outline; no one told me about this idea; I sat down one afternoon and just wrote until I published it.
Neural Networks and Spider Brains
This is an article about consciousness that ties into Consciousness as a Continuum and The Nature of Space, Time and Information Implies Universal Language. It covers how a spider processes sensory information via insights its neural networks must make. This piece covers the lower levels of consciousness and more completely describes what I call the window of consciousness in later essays. These lower level neural networks drive insights which are provided to that window of consciousness, which the spider uses to drive its actions and behaviors.
When I thought to draft these ideas, I was procrastinating saw a spider on the wall. And so I frantically typed up an outline. This is my Newton’s Apple, if I have one. As I watched and interacted, I realized that, at some level, it must be capable of recognizing objects, types of objects, actions and types of actions in order to “inform” it’s actions. These capabilities imply that its neural networks must embody some structure which permits these capabilities. This post requires understanding of consciousness, neurology, machine learning and other esoteric fields.
But … the post could also lead to important insights for Artificial Intelligence? I guess? I don’t know. But that right there is my genius: I don’t !@#$’ing know! I’m caught between both a superiority complex and an inferiority complex! Throw me a frickin’ bone here! I’m trying to establish credibility.
It’s pretty funny to watch people dismantle my work, but never actually mention any of the content. They usually go straight for the ad hominem, which is the rhetorical equivalent of flinging your own poo at someone. It stinks and now you have poo on your hands. If you don’t understand the language or whatever, that is fine. I’m more than happy to talk to you about it and I guarentee that within five to fifteen minutes, you will understand what it is I’m talking about, regardless of your education level. I guess that makes me a good teacher, too.
Have You Thought About Using Reddit?! (LMAO)
This is a real good look for you all and for the current paradigm of discourse and censorship that that pervades Facebook and Reddit: “Corralled Censorship by Veto”
I also don’t know why I have sixty cents to my name. Philosophy is spooky and dangerous!! Don’t think too hard about how you think!
ᛝ God and Religion ᛝ
The Nature of God
For that series and, in particular, for “Nature of God”, I thought that if I bait skeptical readers into attacking me by saying that my use of language is just smattering, then I’m free to respond by saying: actually, for a scientist/atheist, you’re not as intelligent as you might seem because you don’t understand A,B,C scientific idea or mathematic process. If you claim that you don’t understand, then you either didn’t understand those metaphors/allusions or you stopped reading right after the beginning. Either way, it’s like rhetorical jujitsu because some of my readers are going to respond in that manner anyways, regardless of the merit of my work & thought.
What ‘Smatter? LuLz
Actually, Ziusudra was pretty cool
And guess what? I was attacked for just that! For using expressive language! I was told “the academic world doesn’t need people like that!” LMAO, seriously? WTF? The same user informed me that she created a Reddit account just to message me. I have no idea who it was, but I have some ideas … Ya, it’s probably just someone else catfishing me. That’s real funny! Well, it’s not traditional catfishing, but more like catfishing with carney tricks thrown in to really tug at the ‘ole puppet strings.
A single r/philosophy
moderator vetoed my post. The first real post
I made on Reddit and it generated 50 upvotes and 2,500 web sessions to
te.xel.io IN LESS THAN SIX HOURS. No subsequent
post since then has generated any comparable levels. My capacity to
direct web traffic to my site is so varied that it seems as though I
am on rogue NSA Reddit/Facebook/Social servers running on a forked
splinternet.
I’m Not Religious, I’m Spiritual
★ God Is Not Dead
★ Of God and Atheisms
★ A Lighthouse in a Storm
This is a three-part series arguing for the value of religion. Part one refutes Nietzsche’s hypothesis that “God is Dead.” It does so using some pretty convoluted language. This was an intentional direction in style. I wanted to use scientific imagery to appeal to atheists and scientists in particular. I also expected these same people to be the first to dismiss my work. No one really takes me seriously LOL.
The notion of immediate rejection on whatever effective basis possible is something that I am well-acquainted with. I am constantly dealing with people who never plan on taking me serious and don’t wish for my success, ever. It would make them wrong. They value saving face more than healthy progress for myself. I never get the chance to make a first impression. And so! I have learned to take this into account. Specifically, I often present people with openings to attack me on the assumption that they will (and they do) so when they attack me, they so it on my terms! It’s a learned defense mechanism in a world of constant criticism.
It’s so bad, I have an analogy for my life that involves the statistical method of linear regression, where you are optimizing a function. The general idea is that you’ve got a ball rolling down a hill and you want it to roll in such a way that optimizes some cost function. At each step, you’re picking variables that allow the ball to roll down the hill to a more efficient solution.
Well, in terms of my most common social interaction, in both the short-term and long-term, it seems that people around my are trying to micro-manage things like number of social connections, impact, credibility, appearance, and context, such that the ball rolls down the hill in a disadvantageous manner. It seems like they are well aware of psychological methods, but that they are using them to make things harder for me. In other words, their cost function is not optimized on my success, BUT ON MY FAILURE! Both in the short-term and long-term!
That sounds !@#$’ing crazy! But when, given hundreds of decision points, when I gauge the impact and intention behind their actions and, most crucially, the alternative available words/actions, it becomes clear: this person or this group does not care about me. Over the course of hundreds of interactions, it becomes clear: they always go with what is negative for me, especially in the long term.
Hello Watson, Might You Spare a Moment to Hear the Good News
ᛝ Epistemology ᛝ
The metaphysical structure representing the sum of all human knowledge greatly exceeds the computational capacity of the universe, implying that the universe can never observe in totality the knowledge contained within it.
Epistemology, Cognition and Category Theory
★ An Overview
★ A Model For The Mind
★ Directive Cognitive Expansion
This is an unfinished series on the mind and its connections to the nature of knowledge and cognition. These articles tie together of neurology, psychology, cognition, metacognition, philosophy, category theory (math) and epistemology. By combining knowledge from developmental, behavioral and cognitive psychology, we enable ourselves to learn about how we learn. With this, we accelerate our development to learn better, faster, harder …
This post uses an incorrect set of terms for describing epistemology, but that’s because I basically I’m not using the usual epistemology language. The first part is an intro. The second part discusses specific elements of our mind. It states that our brain is modular and our mind is powered by dynamically combining these modular elements. It then asserts that if we develop/improve some of these modular elements through some specific skill or hobby that those improvements should carry over to other skills that rely on any of those elements. Part three briefly enumerates some of the skills/hobbies that work best for this. It describes how and why these skills help our mind function more proficiently.
Eventually I will write part four and five, which provide a model for knowledge that’s based on category theory. Some people at Stanford have already written about this, so it’s not new, but it is powerful.
ᛝ Postmodernism and Metamodernism ᛝ
These two articles cover social and cultural problems that will take root as technology evolves more rapidly. These are most definitely philosophical questions and I would argue that understanding philosophical problems could never be more important than at the current moment. Paradox of Creativity was the first article I posted on /r/philosophy
Figuring out how to stave off nihilism and the death of individuality is our Riddle of the Sphinx. The roots of almost all 21st century social & cultural problems will be partially composed of nihilism or the death of individuality. Those two concepts will cripple and demoralize us at a time in history when we MUST remain as strong as we could possibly be.
Paradox of Creativity
I posted the “Paradox of Creativity” in early June. It was my first post on reddit. It was deleted in six hours, but had already accumulated 2,500 sessions and 50 comments! My first post on reddit!! IN SIX HOURS!!
That is validation. It doesn’t matter what you say or whether you blessings allow me an opportunity to have my writing critiqued. My writing has been validated by the simple fact that thousands of people visited my site in six hours. When I saw that number, I thought there must be something wrong! NOPE!

TV Network Bans Word ‘Uppity’ as Racist After a Single Complaint
Term used to criticize arrogant behavior of Meghan Markle.
by Paul Joseph WatsonA TV network in the UK has banned the word “uppity” after a single viewer complained that the term was racist when used to describe Meghan Markle.
The farce began after ITV host Eamonn Holmes criticized the Duchess of Sussex’s attitude when she refused to pose for photographs with fans during her visit to the Wimbledon tennis tournament in July.
“If you have an uppity attitude, you’re only through the door two minutes and suddenly you’re sitting at Wimbledon and your royal protection are saying, ‘No photographs, no photographs!’” Holmes said on his show This Morning.
This prompted one viewer to complain to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom that the term was racist because it was once used by southerners in the 19th century to describe black people in America during the slavery era who didn’t know their place.
However, according to the Collins Dictionary, the term only came into popular use after 1929 and simply means, “inclined to be haughty, arrogant, snobbish.”
According to ITV, Holmes was not reprimanded for the remark but the use of the word was subsequently banned, with a spokesperson for the station commenting, “This was a point of learning for the wider team, not a rebuke.”

Others pointed out that the term has been used in a variety of contexts, including a famous children’s Mr. Men book by Roger Hargreaves called Mr. Uppity.

ESPN Predicts If The CFB Playoff Will Take Alabama Or Oregon
by Andrew HolleranThe first three College Football Playoff spots aren’t completely locked up yet, but Clemson, LSU and Ohio State are all on track to get in. It’s the No. 4 spot where there’s a legitimate question mark.
Several teams, from Georgia to Oregon to Utah to Alabama, will potentially have a claim for that fourth and final spot in this year’s College Football Playoff.
Who’s going to get it?
ESPN has predicted if the College Football Playoff selection committee would take an 11-1 Alabama team or a 12-1 Oregon team.
The prediction: Oregon.
Early prediction: Oregon.
Here’s why: There is written protocol to be followed, and Oregon would likely win the tiebreakers, which include strength of schedule and conference championship games.
Alabama likely needs to dominate – and I mean dominate – Auburn next week in order to have a real chance at making it in. If the Crimson Tide win in close or sloppy fashion, they’re probably out. If they win in a blowout, though, it could get interesting.

Mobile library is a new idea to reach many user . The mobile library A bookmobile or mobile library is a vehicle designed for use as a library. Bookmobiles expand the reach of traditional libraries by transporting books to potential readers, providing library services to people in otherwise-underserved locations (such as remote areas) and/or circumstances (such as residents of retirement homes). Bookmobile services and materials (such as Internet access, large print books, and audiobooks), may be customized for the locations and populations served. In addition to motor vehicles, bookmobiles have been based on various means of conveyance, including bicycles, boats, and trains, as well as elephants, camels, horses, mules, and donkeys.
There have an recent news West Bengal Government just started a mobile library named "Ghore Baire". This library just started to roaming arround the village areas of Dinajpur. Later It will be on most of the village area of Bengal.

POSSE A film review by Max Hoffmann Copyright 1993 Max Hoffmann
Rating: 8.5 (B+, ***) a "should see" Running length: 105 min Rating: R World Premiere 5/5/93 SF Film Festival Release date 5/14/93 DIR: Mario Van Peebles PROD: Preston Homes, Jim Steele SCRPLAY: Sy Richardson, Dario Scardapane CAMERA: Peter Menzies EDITOR: MARK CONTE CAST: Mario Van Peebles, Stephen Baldwin, Charles Lane, Tiny Lister, Jr., Big Daddy Kane, Billy Zane, Pam Grier, Tone Loc, Richard Jordan and Melvin Van Peebles
IN A NUTSHELL: If you're like me and *hate* westerns, give this one a chance. The mostly black cast is makes for a more historically accurate view of the Old West than the white-bread Hollywood myopia we're accustomed to (8,000 cowboys, a third of the lot, were black!!) Strong direction, a cast that "clicks" and effective use of "post office mural" style cinematography. Flawed slightly by overuse of flashbacks, and heavy leaning on "eye for an eye" justice. *Very* violent, but forgivable. An appealing sex scene with the same level of explicitness as most Mel Gibson films.
This film held my interest from start to finish. Like many who remember their first westerns in the age of above ground nuclear testing, I've never been able to take this format seriously. We never saw 5 o'clock shadow on our heros, until the arrival of the spaghetti westerns in the 60's. But the faces were still white, and Indians were usually played by well-tanned Italian actors. Add to the mix the mandatory love interest, who'd made it across the plains with her lipstick and virtue intact.
Van Pebbles sets the record straight, with a more realistic "color palette." There were lots of blacks in the old west, including about a third of the original settlers in Los Angeles. Many were genuine heroes who couldn't cross the color-line into an honest obituary or a place in the history books. Our Anglo-centric view has excluded blacks from most American history, outside the Civil War. A few low-budget "race" films in the 30's portrayed black cowboys, but the runs were short and the audiences segregated. Placing this missing ingredient (black cowboys) in center spot light makes a tired old format interesting for the first time in recent memory.
Van Peebles plays "Jesse Lee," a "buffalo soldier," conscripted from prison for "life time military service." (He's in prison for having attempted to avenged the white-hate induced murder of his father.) The film opens with him at the center of the Spanish-American war (where there were two major divisions of brothers, including an all-black platoon who's heavy casualties made it safe for Teddy Roosevelt to gallup up San Juan Hill).  (Though this is no more exaggerated than elements in most westerns.) Jesse assembles a "posse" of fellow black (and one white, Baldwin) outlaws to break free. A skirmish leaves the villain shy one eye and with enough motive to follow Jesse nearly to the ends of the earth, and the utopian community founded by freed slaves that is Jesse's ultimate destination.
Though no Mahatma Gandhi, "Little J" (Baldwin) is remarkably color-blind for his era, (the only color he sees is "green"). Van Peebles resists the temptation to make Baldwin a white "Sydney Poitier," and integrates him very well into the dynamics of the group. Initially, baser motives (like cheating at gambling) are the unifying force, but as the escape progresses the characters trust and know each other on a deeper level, and the color issue gradually fades.
Though much of the imagery deliberately harks to familiar spaghetti westerns, Van Peebles makes a much more engaging and sexy leading man than Clint Eastwood. Jesse isn't the totally remote, unknowable stranger. You get to know almost more than you want to about him due to the sepia flashbacks that appear with the annoying regularity of network TV commercials. "Jesse's" lusty reunion with the half Cherokee girlfriend he ditched covers the same amount of skin and positions as THIEF OF HEARTS, but the darker skin tones nearly earned the film a NC-17 rating. The white men on the ratings board still aren't comfortable viewing nude, black male flesh.
The film *is* intensely violent, (about the same body count as any Stephen Segal film) but I didn't find it particularly offensive. (I've always thought of westerns as bowling tournaments with bodies instead of pins.) Be prepared for a few closeups of exactly how a bullet passes through a face and more. More troubling is Jesse's "eye for an eye" approach to picking off everybody who ever did him wrong. (You begin to wonder if there's anyone in that time zone who didn't taunt him with flaming crosses, etc, due to the heavily populated flashbacks.) But westerns are never particularly realistic about cause and effect (e.g., how many heroes walked into a hail of badly aimed bullets, unscathed?)
Van Peebles brings several interesting "new" elements to the western format: the dynamics of authority and loyalty in the black township are intriguing. (E.g., do they kowtow to the white marshall, or fight back for what is rightfully theirs? Take a wild guess.) The dynamics between blacks and Indians, who found a lot of common ground in the crumbs the white establishment approved for them. A hero who isn't particularly "mysterious" or tongue-tied on what his motives are. A cast who can act. (This could be the vehicle to make Baldwin a star.) A mellow, rich palette for the camera. (Van Peebles revealed in the director's chat that he used low-arc lighting in most scenes, which make both white and black skin look attractive.) Clever use of humorous anachronisms (e.g., the whiney barber exclaiming, "Can't we just all get along?" during the Bonny and Clyde-like hail of bullets sprayed against his shop).
Van Peebles has just scratched the surface of unsung black history of the Old West. There appears to be enough pay dirt to warrant a lot more films like this. And who knows, if they make the violence a little less like an anatomy class, and stretch out the skin scenes, I just may learn to like westerns after all.
Prediction: expect much of the establishment press to downplay this film for (a) an unfair portrayal of unappetizing white characters (b) too much violence and (c) explicit sex scenes. None of these points are true with this film. If any critics are uncomfortable with the content of this film, they should blame our censored history text books.

Assemble allows use of either Lo-Dash or Handlebars templates, depending on where the templates are used.
In general:
Note that there is one exception to this separation of concerns, and these two libs also make a great team when you use them together.
A basic template looks like this:
title: <%= pkg.name %>
Lo-Dash templates can be used in:
However, Lo-Dash templates cannot be used in the "content of pages".
Assemble only limits where you can use Lo-Dash templates, beyond that you can do anything with Lo-Dash templates that you can do with JavaScript. Keep in mind, however, that the more logic you add to the YAML front matter of page for instance, the more complicated you make your pages and the more difficult your projects will be to maintain.
A basic expression looks like this:

{{component.title}}

Usage: May be used only in the "content" of pages, e.g. anywhere but the YAML front matter of a page..
Although Handlebars is most often used for generating HTML, you can also generate JSON, XML, YAML, CSS, LESS, SASS and so on.
This keeps Lo-Dash templates focused on configuration(ish) data, or data that is used directly by the build process, and Handlebars focused on rendering content with as little logic as possible.
Most templating languages share a few common features:
// alert.json
{
"message": "this is an alert from {{site.name}}"
}
Or this:
---
title: {{pkg.name}} # Oops! Can't use handlebars here!!!
---

{{title}}

Neither of those examples will because Handlebars templates can only be used outside of the YAML front matter.
This won't work either:
---
title: My Site
---

<%= title %>

Whoa! Nope, this won't work either. No Lo-Dash in the "content" part of the page!
Lo-Dash templates can only be used in the YAML front Matter (or in YAML/JSON files, or the Gruntfile).
This works:
// alert.json
{
"message": "this is an alert from <%= site.name %>"
}
This works too:
---
title: <% pkg.name %> # Nice!!! Assuming you are reading in the package.json in the Gruntfile, this works!
---

{{title}}

And this title will pull data from the YAML front matter. It's kind of like cheating, accept not.
So does this:
# alert.yml
modifier: alert-warning
strong: Be advised!
message: this is an alert from <%= site.name %> # pass in the site name
And then pass it to alert.hbs
:

{{ alert.strong }}{{ alert.message }}

2nd IAG Python Boot Camp
Table of contents
OOP is a programming paradigm. It is usually compared with the traditional procedural programming.
The procedural programming is based on procedures (i.e., routines and sub-routines), where the procedures and data variables are independent. Examples: Cobol, C, Fortran...
program Fibonacci; function fib(n: Integer): Integer; var a: Integer = 1; b: Integer = 1; f: Integer; i: Integer; begin if (n = 1) or (n = 2) then fib := 1 else begin for i := 3 to n do begin f := a + b; b := a; a := f; end; fib := f; end; end; begin WriteLn(fib(6)); end.
OOP is based in objects, a variable that combines methods (procedures) and attributes (data).
Examples of OOP compatible languages: C#, C++, Java, Lisp, Python, Ruby...
class Fibonacci: def __init__(self): self.cache = {} def fib(self, n): if self.cache.has_key(n): return self.cache[n] if n == 1 or n == 2: return 1 else: a = 1 b = 1 for i in range(2, n): f = a + b; b = a; a = f; self.cache[n] = f; return f; fibonaccyCounter = Fibonacci() # print(fibonaccyCounter.fib(600)) # %time fibonaccyCounter.fib(600) # %time fibonaccyCounter.fib(600)
Why OOP compatible? Because usually in a OOP language one can still work as a procedural language...
Examples of pure OOP languages: Smalltalk and Self.
"Class has no life, it's just a concept."

Warning! Some people say that *encapsulation* can prevent the data from being modified. This is **not** the case in Python (and even Java[!]. Other methods need to used to avoid modification).

this element implements behavior similar to the details element.
Added functionality:
- Allows the use of a custom icon in place of the exoander arrow.
- Allows the expander icon to be placed before or after the summary.
- Works in IE and Edge.
- Other than the templating functionality is css based, so if you do the templating server side it will work with javascript turned off.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF EFFIE
JANE (SCHAUB) LATTA
(12 Jun 1883 - 30 Sep 1972)
By Betty Latta Kitchen
Monroe County, Ohio Church Records: Nineteenth
Century Records of Lewisville, Middle and Miltonsburg German Evangelical Protestant
Churches compiled by Dr. Shirley A. Harmon has this listing: "Effie Jane
SCHAUB, daughter of George SCHAUB and wife Lucie born HERLAN; born l2 June
1883; baptized 22 March 1899; confirmed 2 April 1899. It also lists the 2
April 1899 confirmations on page 227. We have the original documents also for
the above. The baptismal is a sepia l2 x l5 which states: "Effie Jane
Schaub, child of Mr. George Schaub and his wife Lucy, nee Herlan, born at
Summit tp, Ohio, June l2th, 1883, was baptized in St. John's Evang. Church,
Summit tp. on the 22d day of March 1899.
In the Name of THE FATHER, OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY GHOST. Sponsors were: _____________. F. W.
Gretzler, Pastor." Her l0 x l5 confirmation document is decorated with
flowers, a Bible, a chalice, a church, all in color. This one is in German and
states: "Crinnerung an den Tag der Confirmation. " Effie Jane Schaub
ist narh empfangenem Unterrichf im Morte Gottes am 2 April 1899 in der St.
Johannes Kirche in Summit tp., Ohio." In big letters: "Confirmirt"
wareden und hat hiernuf zum ersten Mal am briligen Abendmable Theil genommen.
Solches bezrugt unter herzlirhen Segenswunschen." Signed by "Friedr.
W. GretZler, Pastor." [Because of the fancy lettering it is very difficult
to distinguish "f" from "t" and "c, r, and e"'s.]
There are also scriptures in German.
Effie could run like the wind when she was a kid. Her cousin Toni
(Schaub and later Stewart) was so large, Effie thought Toni could make two of
her. When she was about 8 to l0 her cousins (John Herlan's kids) gave her a
treasure chest which I now have. Aunt Jan used it for her doll clothes. Effie
enjoyed playing baseball with the kids at school. She and her mother were riding a horse and stopped to talk to
some people in a carriage. Someone put down a parasol and spooked the
horse.  Her mother was pregnant at the time with Wesley
and bedridden so Effie had to help take care of her younger brother Homer and
do the housework. The family lived with Grandma Herlan for a time. This was
where Wes was born. Grandma Herlan taught her to sew when she was four and a
half. When she was l2 - l4 she made a
blouse for a neighbor who gave her $2.
She thought she was rich. Then the family rented the Niesz farm. She
dated Ben Niesz for awhile (we have his picture too). At this time Ben lived in
the brick or newer house on the farm and Effie lived in the older one. Aunt Jan
told me that you went in the back into the kitchen and the bedrooms were upstairs.
This is when she went to school with the kids in the Foxhollow picture. She
labeled almost all the names on the picture which is currently hanging in the
home of her granddaughter Betty Latta Kitchen in Twinsburg, Ohio. She at one
time attended Saint John's Lutheran Church in Lewisville. She met David Latta
at singing school. She and her brother Homer went in the evenings, probably at
the school house. I have one of her old singing books but cannot read the
inscription. I have two of Effie's autograph books. It is so interesting to
look at the inscriptions and rhymes, many of which are similar to what we still
would write. Many of the people I can match to pictures.
The first book the title page:
Dec 25th 1889 Effie J. Schaub ???Book
Woodsfield Monroe County Ohio Christmas gift
In the thinner book with only l4 or so sheets the
autographs range from l897 to l904 and one was from David Latta: "May l8th, l902 To Friend
Effie:--- May thy life be fair and sweet. From your friend, David Latta."
They were married a couple years later. I have included the wishes of several
of the other people in the autograph books under their names.
She moved to Canton after she and Dave Latta were
married. We have her l5 by l2 Certificate of Marriage, flowered and with empty
ovals for pictures. [This is rather ironic since Dave was very involved in
photography.] "This Certifies that David W. Latta of Calais Ohio, State of
Ohio, and Effie J. Schaub of Sparta, State of Ohio, were by me United in
Marriage according to the Ordinance of God and the Laws of the State of Ohio at
Canton on the 26" day of May A.D. 1904. Jas. S. Reager." No witnesses
were listed. Aunt Jan wrote that she would get mail from Monroe county
addressed to Effy Latty since that is how the name was pronounced down there.
However, Dave nicknamed her Peggy and that is how she was referred to as I was
growing up, but Aunt Jan does not know why he picked Peggy as a name other than
he did not like the name Effie as well.
In l9l0 Effie lived at 3l6 l/2 S. Hartford St.,
Canton, then a few houses down at 308. From there she, and David, and the
children moved to the Bulley Mansion on South Cherry (we have a picture), then
corner of Gibbs and 15th, N.E. (l4ll l5th), then 426 l8th, N.W. David decided to move from 18th Street when
he broke a neighbor's window playing football with the kids. She moved to 3803
East Tuscarawas St. in 1924 and then to 2200 Broad Avenue, N. W. about l948.
Throughout her life she liked to sew. Aunt Jan said my Uncle Elton never had a
store-bought shirt until he was almost a teenager. I have the dress she made
for her wedding (the shoes too.) Aunt Jan said she was very organized. (See the
note under Vern Latta about her bailing him out of jail for speeding.) She
always made sure that a box of candy was mailed to Grandma Latta (David's
mother) on Mother's Day. Her African violets were glorious, and she certainly
enjoyed her posie room. I was always told that my grandmother liked poetry. I
found this poem written on the back of an envelope which I feel pretty well
sums up my grandmother and her personality:
"Home is where the heart is
And friendship is a guest
A book--a fire--a handclap,
And a place to rest.
Home is where the heart is
Where children romp and play,
A blossom by the window
And a little bird to sing.
Home is where the heart is
Be it mansion on the hill--
A cabin in the valley
Or cottage by the rill.
Home is where the heart is
And friendship is a guest
Where love, peace and gentleness
Can lull a heart to rest."
To me my grandmother was very special. Unlike most
adults who just talked with one another when they were all together, Granny
played with me. She taught me solitaire, played canasta, killed my butterflies,
made things with me, and got me interested in crossword puzzles ( which I still
do except on weekends when they are too hard). She let me explore in her
upstairs storage room. Many weekends the whole family was there for Saturday
night supper. Every summer I got to spend a week with her and Aunt Jan. All my
friends spent time at her place. It's
good to have a place that you know you were always welcomed. One of my fondest
memories was the last summer of her life. My daughter Kelli was about one and a
half and she and her Great Grandma were having a tea party.  Grandma was trying her hardest not to laugh at her little
great granddaughter and her tea party antics. After all, it was such a formal
occasion! I was so blessed.

Creating New Backends
The process should be fairly simple.
- Create new backend file. Name is important.
- Two classes inside.
- SearchBackend (inherit from haystack.backends.BaseSearchBackend)
- SearchQuery (inherit from haystack.backends.BaseSearchQuery)
SearchBackend
Responsible for the actual connection and low-level details of interacting with
the backend.
- Connects to search engine
- Method for saving new docs to index
- Method for removing docs from index
- Method for performing the actual query
SearchQuery
Responsible for taking structured data about the query and converting it into a
backend appropriate format.
- Method for creating the backend specific query - build_query.

Data Stream Changes
Due to limitations imposed in Bluetooth on Android 6+, the Bluetooth data stream may not be reliable. Please review the following to determine if this affects you:Other Changes
When running under Android 6, due to the nature of the permissions system, it is no longer possible to guarantee data stream content directly after registration. Recommended procedure is to reboot the device after installing Beiwe and providing permissions.
Known Issue: Due to a bug in Android the Beiwe app may not uninstall properly. To bypass this we recommend uninstalling and then rebooting the device if you plan to reinstall Beiwe, or you can manually fix this issue by assigning all necessary permissions in the Beiwe app's settings page in system settings. This issue presents as an immediate crash of the Beiwe app after installation but before registering under a study.
The UI for audio surveys has been streamlined.

People¶
The STE||AR Group (pronounced as stellar) stands for “Systems Technology, Emergent Parallelism, and Algorithm Research”. We are an international group of faculty, researchers, and students working at various institutions around the world. The goal of the STE||AR Group is to promote the development of scalable parallel applications by providing a community for ideas, a framework for collaboration, and a platform for communicating these concepts to the broader community.
Our work is focused on building technologies for scalable parallel applications. HPX, our general purpose C++ runtime system for parallel and distributed applications, is no exception. We use HPX for a broad range of scientific applications, helping scientists and developers to write code which scales better and shows better performance compared to more conventional programming models such as MPI.
HPX is based on ParalleX which is a new (and still experimental) parallel execution model aiming to overcome the limitations imposed by the current hardware and the techniques we use to write applications today. Our group focuses on two types of applications - those requiring excellent strong scaling, allowing for a dramatic reduction of execution time for fixed workloads and those needing highest level of sustained performance through massive parallelism. These applications are presently unable (through conventional practices) to effectively exploit a relatively small number of cores in a multi-core system. By extension, these application will not be able to exploit high-end exascale computing systems which are likely to employ hundreds of millions of such cores by the end of this decade.
Critical bottlenecks to the effective use of new generation high performance computing (HPC) systems include:
Starvation: due to lack of usable application parallelism and means of managing it,
Overhead: reduction to permit strong scalability, improve efficiency, and enable dynamic resource management,
Latency: from remote access across system or to local memories,
Contention: due to multicore chip I/O pins, memory banks, and system interconnects.
The ParalleX model has been devised to address these challenges by enabling a new computing dynamic through the application of message-driven computation in a global address space context with lightweight synchronization. The work on HPX is centered around implementing the concepts as defined by the ParalleX model. HPX is currently targeted at conventional machines, such as classical Linux based Beowulf clusters and SMP nodes.
We fully understand that the success of HPX (and ParalleX) is very much the result of the work of many people. To see a list of who is contributing see our tables below.
