    1. In Greek and Roman mythology, Odysseus (/əˈdɪsiəs/ ə-DISS-ee-əs;[1] Greek: Ὀδυσσεύς, Ὀδυσεύς, translit. Odysseús.mw-parser-output .noitalic{font-style:normal}, Odyseús, .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-small{font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-small{font-size:100%}IPA: [o.dy(s).sěu̯s]), also known by the Latin variant Ulysses (/juːˈlɪsiːz/ yoo-LISS-eez, UK also /ˈjuːlɪsiːz/ YOO-liss-eez; Latin: Ulysses, Ulixes), is a legendary Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey. Odysseus also plays a key role in Homer's Iliad and other works in that same epic cycle.[2]
    1. Enthusiasm – In enthusiasm – or possession – God is understood to be outside, other than or beyond the believer. A sacred power, being or will enters the body or mind of an individual and possesses it. A person capable of being possessed is sometimes called a medium. The deity, spirit or power uses such a person to communicate to the immanent world

      Enthusiasm as a possession by a god. The human functions as the medium for communication (for the god wants to communicate something).

    2. Lewis argues that ecstasy and possession are basically one and the same experience, ecstasy being merely one form which possession may take. The outward manifestation of the phenomenon is the same in that shamans appear to be possessed by spirits, act as their mediums, and even though they claim to have mastery over them, can lose that mastery

      Ecstasy and possession (enthusiasm) as being the same.

    3. Ecstasy, trance – In ecstasy the believer is understood to have a soul or spirit which can leave the body. In ecstasy the focus is on the soul leaving the body and to experience transcendental realities. This type of religious experience is characteristic for the shaman.

      Ecstasy and trance as religious experience

    4. Many religious and mystical traditions see religious experiences (particularly the knowledge which comes with them) as revelations caused by divine agency rather than ordinary natural processes. They are considered real encounters with God or gods, or real contact with higher-order realities of which humans are not ordinarily aware.[5

      Religious experience as a revelation. As coming into contact with god(s) or other supernatural beings.

    5. A religious experience (sometimes known as a spiritual experience, sacred experience, mystical experience) is a subjective experience which is interpreted within a religious framework.[1] The concept originated in the 19th century, as a defense against the growing rationalism of Western society.[2] William James popularised the concept.[2] In some religions, this may result in unverified personal gnosis.[3][4]

      Religious experience (also mystical) emerged as a concept in te 19th century due to the dominant discourse of rationalism in the West.


      See William James, but also Rilke who had a religious experience when going to Russia (and probably many others).

    1. The Miletus torso (c. 480–470 BC) at the Louvre has been suggested as the poem's subject. "Archaic Torso of Apollo" (German: Archaïscher Torso Apollos) is a sonnet by the Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke, published in the collection New Poems in 1908. It opens the collection's second part and is a companion piece to "Early Apollo", which opens the first part. The poem describes the impressions given by the surviving torso of an archaic statue, which for the poet creates a vision of what the intact statue must have been like.

      Archaic Torso of Apollo and Early Apollo are part of Rilke his New Poems (1908).

    1. Andragogy refers to methods and principles used in adult education.[1][2] The word comes from the Greek ἀνδρ- (andr-), meaning "adult male", and ἀγωγός (agogos), meaning "leader of". Therefore, andragogy literally means "leading men (adult males)", whereas "pedagogy" literally means "leading children".[3]
    1. The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is an anonymous network layer (implemented as a mix network) that allows for censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer communication.

    1. The performative mode, the final mode Nichols discusses, is easily confused with the participatory mode, and Nichols remains somewhat nebulous about their distinctions. The crux of the difference seems to lie in the fact that where the participatory mode engages the filmmaker to the story but attempts to construct truths that should be self-evident to anyone, the performative mode engages the filmmaker to the story but constructs subjective truths that are significant to the filmmaker themself. Deeply personal, the performative mode is particularly well-suited to telling the stories of filmmakers from marginalized social groups, offering the chance to air unique perspectives without having to argue the validity of their experiences, as in Marlon Riggs’ 1990 documentary Tongues Untied about his experiences as a gay black dancer in New York City. The departure from a rhetoric of persuasion allows the performative film a great deal more room for creative freedom in terms of visual abstraction, narrative, etc. Stella Bruzzi (2000), by contrast, holds a broader view of the performative mode. Inspired by J. L. Austin’s notion of the performative, which Nichols avoids, Bruzzi argues that documentary films are by default performative because they are “inevitably the result of the intrusion of the filmmaker onto the situation being filmed.” In particular, Bruzzi considers documentaries that foreground the “artificialisation by the camera” perfect examples of the performative mode. Hongjian Wang (2016) extends the discussion of the performative mode by Nichols and Bruzzi to the “performing camera,” which documents by reenacting the subjective perspective of the subjects (not necessarily that of the filmmaker) in the documentary films. By “performing” the point of view of the subjects, the performative documentaries put the audience in the positions of the subjects. Wang further distinguishes between “the empathetic performative mode,” which prompts audience identification with the subjects, and “the critical performative mode,” which provokes the audience to feel disgusted by, angry at, and critical about the subjects.[3] With the filmmaker visible to the viewer, and freed to openly discuss their perspective in regard to the film being made, rhetoric and argumentation return to the documentary film as the filmmaker clearly asserts a message. Perhaps the most famous filmmaker currently working in this documentary mode is Michael Moore. The performative mode is also manifested in ethnographic film, such as "Incidents of Travel in Chichen Itza" by Jeff Himpele and Quetzil Castaneda. In this visual ethnography of cultural event of the spring equinox involving new age tourism at a sacred Maya site in Mexico, the ethnographers both document the event and provide an ethnographic questioning of the meanings that are projected on the physical heritage objects that attract 50,000 tourists to the equinox at Chichen. In this film, unlike the performative documentaries of Michael Moore in which there is a specific take away message and argument, the ethnographic filmmakers create an open-ended, polyphonic film in which the audience is provided greater opportunity to define the meanings, messages, and understandings of what the film represents. In general, documentaries, especially educational documentaries are scripted such that the audience is persuaded to accept a specific lesson or message, the performative mode of documentary is used to break from a monological or monotone understanding not only through the use of dialogical principles of dialogical anthropology, but of experimental ethnography. The Himpele and Castaneda therefore create an ethnographic documentary that expands the idea of experimental ethnography as a set of principles for writing a text to producing and postproducing ethnographic film.

      The performative mode of documentary filmmaking constructs subjective truths that resonate with the filmmaker, offering more creative freedom, and can emphasize filmmakers' intrusion, subject's perspectives or ethnographic questioning.

      • 🔑 Performative mode often focuses on personal stories.
      • 👁 "Tongues Untied" exemplifies this subjective mode.
      • 📍 'Performing camera' is reenacting the subjects' perspectives.
      • 💬 Bruzzi considers any filmmaking intrusion as performative.
      • 👁 "Incidents of Travel in Chichen Itza" is a performative ethnographic film.
    2. The observational mode of documentary developed in the wake of documentarians returning to Vertovian ideals of truth, along with the innovation and evolution of cinematic hardware in the 1960s. In Dziga Vertov's Kino-Eye manifestoes, he declared, "I, a camera, fling myself along…maneuvering in the chaos of movement, recording movement, startling with movements of the most complex combinations." (Michelson, O’Brien, & Vertov 1984) The move to lighter 16mm equipment and shoulder mounted cameras allowed documentarians to leave the anchored point of the tripod. Portable Nagra sync-sound systems and unidirectional microphones, too, freed the documentarian from cumbersome audio equipment. A two-person film crew could now realize Vertov’s vision and sought to bring real truth to the documentary milieu. Unlike the subjective content of poetic documentary, or the rhetorical insistence of expositional documentary, observational documentaries tend to simply observe, allowing viewers to reach whatever conclusions they may deduce. Pure observational documentarians proceeded under some bylaws: no music, no interviews, no scene arrangement of any kind, and no narration. The fly-on-the-wall perspective is championed, while editing processes use long takes and few cuts. Resultant footage appears as though the viewer is witnessing first-hand the experiences of the subject: they travel with Bob Dylan to England in D.A. Pennebaker's Dont Look Back [sic] (1967,) suffer the stark treatment of patients at the Bridgewater State Hospital in Frederick Wiseman's Titicut Follies (1967,) and hit the campaign trail with John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey in Robert Drew’s Primary (1960.)

      The observational mode of documentary pursues truth through minimal interference with the subject, invoking a fly-on-the-wall perspective.

      • 🔑 Observational documentaries arose from Vertovian ideals and 1960s hardware evolutions.
      • 💬 Vertov's Kino-Eye manifesto emphasizes capturing complex movements and moments.
      • 🔑 Modern equipment enables two-person crews to realize Vertov's vision.
      • 🔑 Observational mode rejects music, interviews, scene arrangements and narration.
      • 👁 Major examples include D.A. Pennebaker's "Dont Look Back" and Frederick Wiseman's "Titicut Follies".
    3. In the participatory mode "the filmmaker does interact with his or her subjects rather than unobtrusively observe them."[1] This interaction is present within the film; the film makes explicit that meaning is created by the collaboration or confrontation between filmmaker and contributor. Jean Rouch's Chronicle of a Summer, 1960, is an early manifestation of participatory filmmaking. At its simplest this can mean the voice of the filmmaker(s) is heard within the film. As Nichols explains "what happens in front of the camera becomes an index of the nature of interaction between filmmaker and subject."[2] According to Nichols (2010), in the participatory mode of documentaries, “the filmmaker becomes a social actor (almost) like any other (almost because the filmmaker retains the camera and with it a degree of potential power and control over events)” (p. 139.) Through interviews, the filmmaker’s voice is shown as it combines contributing material about the story that they are trying to tell. An example of this is the machine invented by Errol Morris called the Interrotron. This machine allows for the subject to engage with the director directly while still being able to look into the lens of the camera

      Participatory filmmaking involves active interaction between the filmmaker and subjects within the film.

      • 📍 Participatory mode is a filmmaking style where the director interacts with subjects.
      • 🔑 The film reflects the collaboration or confrontation between filmmaker and contributor.
      • 👁 Jean Rouch's Chronicle of a Summer, 1960, was an early example of participatory filmmaking.
      • 💬 Nichols: In participatory mode, the filmmaker becomes a social actor holding a degree of control.
      • 👁 The Interrotron by Errol Morris enables direct engagement between subject and director.

    2. The Bahama islands were inhabited by the Arawak and Lucayans, a branch of the Arawakan-speaking Taíno, for many centuries.[13] Christopher Columbus was the first European to see the islands, making his first landfall in the "New World" in 1492 when he landed on the island of San Salvador.

      Wow. I didn't know he first landed in The Bahamas

    1. "The Gods of Greece" ("Die Götter Griechenlandes") is a 1788 poem by the German writer Friedrich Schiller. It was first published in Wieland's Der Teutsche Merkur, with a second, shorter version (with much of its controversial content removed) published by Schiller himself in 1800. Schiller's poem proved influential in light of German Philhellenism and seems to have influenced later German thinkers' views on history, Paganism and myth, possibly including Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Max Weber.

    1. Sturm und Drang (/ˌʃtʊərm ʊnt ˈdræŋ, - ˈdrɑːŋ/,[1] .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-small{font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-small{font-size:100%}German: [ˈʃtʊʁm ʔʊnt ˈdʁaŋ]; usually translated as "storm and stress"[2]) was a proto-Romantic movement in German literature and music that occurred between the late 1760s and early 1780s. Within the movement, individual subjectivity and, in particular, extremes of emotion were given free expression in reaction to the perceived constraints of rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment and associated aesthetic movements.

      Sturm und Drang is an art movement that formed as a result of marching rationalism (see Enlightenment) and valued subjectivity and emotions.

    1. Prometheus is the creative and rebellious spirit which, rejected by God, angrily defies him and asserts itself; Ganymede is the boyish self which is adored and seduced by God. One is the lone defiant, the other the yielding acolyte. As the humanist poet, Goethe presents both identities as aspects or forms of the human condition.

      Prometheus as representing mythos (creativity and rebellion) whereas Zeus represents logos.

    1. Dynastic cycle (traditional Chinese: 朝代循環; simplified Chinese: 朝代循环; pinyin: Cháodài Xúnhuán) is an important political theory in Chinese history. According to this theory, each dynasty of China rises to a political, cultural, and economic peak and then, because of moral corruption, declines, loses the Mandate of Heaven, and falls, only to be replaced by a new dynasty. The cycle then repeats under a surface pattern of repetitive motifs.[1]

      Dynasties rising to a peak, then, corrupting, losing Mandate of Heaven, which another dynasty gains.

    1. rows correspond to irreducible representations

      Why is the number of rows not infinite?

      Also do these representations have to be faithful? seems like they don't because the trivial representation is a row of the table.

    1. Some colleges and universities in the US bring therapy dogs to campus to help students de-stress

      This is interesting to me because I am an avid dog lover and have never heard of this. I’m wondering when/if SRJC will incorporate this.

    1. owned approximately 75,000 acres of land

      thats a lot of real estate

      75k acres = 117.2 square miles

      to put that into perspective, check out this list of US states by landmass. 45/50 states are SMALLER than 117k miles squared.

      Only Alaska, Texas, California, Montana and New Mexico are bigger than the Wilkes Bros cults' "private" holdings paid for exclusively by foreign countries.

    2. shell company,

      not a smoking gun, but also not a good sign. if your intentions are "pure" whilst buying up public lands, why make a crazy huge effort to keep the operation underwraps?

      Also, how is it even legal to sell such lands without permission from the electorate?

    3. The church is not Christian, believing that Yahweh is the only god and that Jesus (called Yahushua) is a separate entity. In early 1952 Charles restricted communion to once a year rather than weekly and moved worship from Sunday to Saturday.

      Mormon/JW/Gnosticism 101


      The Wilks bro church removed the incriminating page from their website. However, praise the Lord, [it can be found here] https://web.archive.org/web/20210415200245/https://www.halleluyah.org/our-history-1).

      Key points

      1. They were disfellowshipped from a non-"holocaust all the non-orthodox Jews via a premil 3rd temple" church for "[differences] over a point of doctrine concerning the millenium"

      It was about 1947 that a few members of the Ramsey Church of Christ, a few miles north of De Leon, Texas, differed from their brethren on a point of doctrine concerning the millennium.

      1. The pages makes casual reference to a Mormon style Heavenly Father as God (to which I presume both Jesus and Judas, so both good and evil are subservient to)

      Unable to find a congregation that matched their convictions, he, Myrtle and their five children continued to meet at home with Charlie’s widow, Annie. For the next decade they met largely alone, joined intermittently by neighbors and friends. Their motivation was simple: to obey THE Heavenly Father. As their understanding of the new and old scriptures changed, they modified their lives and worship accordingly.

    4. In 1947, Voy and Myrtle Wilks along with Myrtle's father Charlie Cullen Fenter Fenter were disfellowshipped from the Churches of Christ and founded a church which was at first called simply “A Church of Christ.”

      Churches of Christ is already pretty weird before you get into the Wilks Chinese Communist Party oil baron funded spinoff (Assembly of Yahweh - 7th day).

      According to that Wikipedia page "[the] Churches of Christ arose in the United States from the Restoration Movement of 19th-century"

      In few words, they reject Christianity as understood by most people. The conventional definition of our faith appears to exclude non-trinitarian non-incarnational anti-nicene groups like the more famous restorationist groups: Mormons and Jehova's Witnesses.

    5. It teaches that "the true religion is Jewish (not a Gentile religion)" and its members celebrate the Old Testament holidays rather than those related to the New Testament.

      I'm not a strict believer in supercessionism whereby all self-identified Jews = bad and gentiles are always good. However, the full-on denial of a new covenant is consistent with the Mormon, JW, gnostic, freemason anti-Paul stance.

      It also seems to say Judas was good because the mistrial and murder of Jesus was preordained by God anyway...so Jesus was guilty of blasphemy and the senhedrin was (and is) a legitimate legal body.

    1. A 2021 study by Brown University estimated that 30,177 veterans of post-9/11 conflicts had died by suicide. When compared to the 7,057 personnel killed in the conflicts, at least four times as many veterans died by suicide than personnel were killed during the post-9/11 conflicts.[10]
    1. Moreover, the ordering is effectively determined by the effects of the operations when they are generated

      I don't see how that makes ops "admissible". Simply by reordering we won't get preservation of intent.

      E.g.,

      "abbcd"

      peer1 and peer2 in parallel delete the second duplicate b.

      No matter how we order them, we have:

      [delete(3), delete(3)]

      Intent of peers: "abcd"

      Playback of log: 1. "abcd" 2. "abd"

      Doesn't look like we preserved the intent - delete(position) is not admissible, in general case. It's context-dependent. No matter the order.

    2. Consequently, the total order becomes application specific

      Well, it's not 'total order' anymore then, is it?

      More like a subjective operations log. See Chronofold.

    3. The invocation of every operation is admissible in its execution state

      Then we can't have delete(position) operation. As it context-dependent.

      I.e., ops need to be self-contained. delete(position) becomes delete(char-id) - whoa, now we have CRDTs.

    4. The above CSM model requires that a total order of all objects in the system be specified

      I don't see that.

      What CSM does, as it seems to me, is to specify/extend the "Intention preservation" of CCI.

      Moreover, total order has nothing to do with "intention preservation". Ops that been issued in parallel can be put in total order - yet it does not give convergence of intent.

      E.g.,

      "abbcd"

      And peer1 wants to change c to C.

      Whereas peer2 wants to remove the second b.

      [delete(3), delete(4), add(4, char: "a")]

      Playing the ops: 1. "abcd" 2. "abc" 3. "abcC"

      Intention of c -> C is not preserve, despite having total order.

    5. Second, it was defined as operation context-based pre- and post- transformation conditions for generic OT functions

      This solution seems to aim to preserve intention (same result of an op in a different context) as trying to capture some host context and try to adopt op+some_context to the target context.

      Which seems rather unnecessary if you would transfer op+host_context as is, the receiving party will be able to adopt it.

    1. Chernoff faces, invented by applied mathematician, statistician and physicist Herman Chernoff in 1973, display multivariate data in the shape of a human face. The individual parts, such as eyes, ears, mouth and nose represent values of the variables by their shape, size, placement and orientation. The idea behind using faces is that humans easily recognize faces and notice small changes without difficulty. Chernoff faces handle each variable differently.

      If science fiction weren't created by cowards, every time you see a bank of High Tech Screens monitoring some system, there would be a bunch of cartoon faces with expressions subtly animating...

    1. The name Marathon comes from the legend of Pheidippides, the Greek messenger. The legend states that, while he was taking part in the Battle of Marathon, which took place in August or September 490 BC,[3] he witnessed a Persian vessel changing its course towards Athens as the battle was near a victorious end for the Greek army. He interpreted this as an attempt by the defeated Persians to rush into the city to claim a false victory or simply raid,[4] hence claiming their authority over Greek land. It was said that he ran the entire distance to Athens without stopping, discarding his weapons and even clothes to lose as much weight as possible, and burst

    1. The teaching consisted mainly of instruction in Christian doctrine. Some also taught reading, writing, and math.

      Christian doctrine could possibly include restatement (i.e. "when linguistic...shifts over time hinder intelligibility or change the terms of reference [within text]" as quoted from Britannica) and ethics (i.e. understanding how teachings and understood practice in text could be applied to daily life).

    1. Nepal,[a] officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal,[b] is a landlocked country in South Asia. It is mainly situated in the Himalayas, but also includes parts of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It borders the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north, and India to the south, east, and west, while it is narrowly separated from Bangladesh by the Siliguri Corridor, and from Bhutan by the Indian state of Sikkim. Nepal has a diverse geography, including fertile plains, subalpine forested hills, and eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the largest city. Nepal is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural state, with Nepali as the official language.

    1. For example, a player entity could have a bullet component added to it, and then it would meet the requirements to be manipulated by some bulletHandler system, which could result in that player doing damage to things by running into them.

      When this is properly partitioned and named it is just a set of rules and properties that compose to express complex behaviors.

      Just like physics in real life.

    2. The normal way to transmit data between systems is to store the data in components, and then have each system access the component sequentially.

      If the systems communicate sequencially using data changes to components of entities (state) it seems like order is of concern. This sounds like manual state propagation, can automatic propagation (reactive, propagator) solve ordering and improve efficiency?

    3. One of those features is the support of the type hierarchy for the components. Each component can have a base component type (or a base class) much like in OOP. A system can then query with the base class and get all of its descendants matched in the resulting entities selection.

      Semantic type system can be extremely powerful declarative tool

    4. An entity only consists of an ID for accessing components.

      Don't we also need some kind of associative store that associates entities ids to components?

    5. This eliminates the ambiguity problems of deep and wide inheritance hierarchies often found in Object Oriented Programming techniques that are difficult to understand, maintain, and extend.

      How?

    6. Systems act globally over all entities which have the required components

      This approach is especially suited game engines which operate of a single attribute of all the entities (i.e the position of all entities, shadow of all entities, etc..) and not the overall attributes of a single entity.

During his stay in Constantinople, Busbecq wrote his best known work, the Turkish Letters, a compendium of personal correspondence to his friend, and fellow Hungarian diplomat, Nicholas Michault, in Flanders and some of the world's first travel literature.
