  • So far as I can tell, no one has looked in to the same person having different beliefs at different times and in different contexts. That is my own experience. Christian scripture at least acknowledges this cf John 20:27-29
  • Dileep George and Jeff Hawkins' Hierarchical Temporal Memory model provides a hard AI implementation rooted in the neural circuitry of the neocortex that demonstrates how beliefs are affected by context and change through time.

Bob Keteyian has been counseling through the communication styles lens, focusing on the natural language of the client. This approach relies on the inherent processing abilities of each individual and is naturally validating. Each of us is unique and therefore has a unique communication style, which is related to our learning style.

Learning styles theory is at the base of the communication styles approach. The fundamental question Bob asked many years ago was this: How are learning styles reflected in interpersonal communication? Thinking in words, images, or feelings reflects some of the common, inherent differences that drive individual communication styles. It also helps explain the confusion and communication breakdowns that so readily occur. When you solve the communication style conflicts in relationships, you increase collaboration and give clearer definition to other personal and relational issues.

...Amazon’s “See a Kindle in Your City” promotion. Her Kindle was in her purse; she’d crocheted a cover for it out of green yarn. In the past, she said, she’d taken books out of the library, but some of them smelled of smoke—a Kindle book is a smoke-free environment. I thanked her and bought some digestive biscuits and a teapot, and then I went next door to Sherman’s Books and Stationery. I asked Josh Christie, who worked there, to recommend a truly gut-churningly suspenseful novel. I was going to do a comparison between the paperback and the Kindle 2 version. Christie suggested “The Bourne Identity” and a book by Michael Connelly, “The Lincoln Lawyer”—one of his colleagues at the shop swore by it. I bought them both.

Outside, I sat on a bench near L. L. Bean, eating an ice cream, and tried to order “The Bourne Identity” wirelessly from the Kindle Store. But no—there is no Kindle version of “The Bourne Identity.” What?

(The SNAME web site is in transition)
The present volume presents first, the theoretical basis for these hull modeling systems and second, the procedures for computing hull geometric, buoyancy and other properties by mathematical methods utilizing such models. The emphasis is upon the nomenclature and fundamentals underlying several different methods of hull geometrical modeling with the intention of providing the understanding needed to use intelligently both existing and future tools. Some topics included in the volume are continuity and fairness of surfaces, B-spline and NURBS representation, ruled and developable surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and classic computational topics such as hydrostatic properties and initial stability.

No one denies that printed books are irreplacable. They can be lent, traded, displayed and enjoyed for decades.

But electronic books have their place as well. They're portable, adaptable, infinitely customizable and —whether you like it or not— they're going to live side-by-side with printed books for years to come.

We want to dispel the myth that digital books can't also be crafted works of visual design. Just as web design has evolved and matured, so too will ebooks, and book designers have a new medium available in which to express their creativity.

The Zen Garden is a place to showcase this new way of designing stories.
