Revelation of complex behaviour from simple equations:
It is clear that complex behaviour can often result
from simple equations. The growth of fractals in solution, for example,
can be simulated using a random walk model in which ions in solution
are attracted to, and deposited on an electrode.
With the simplest of equations, quite complex behaviour can be modelled.

Fractal growth resulting from a small centro-symmetric field applied to an electrode in a dilute solution of copper ions

Fractal growth by deposition of ions released from a point source.

A fractal growth generated by an electrode which provides a field aligned along the x-y axes.

Rudeness is the (apparent) disrespect
and failure to behave within the context of a society
or a group of people's social laws or etiquette.
These laws have already unspokenly been established
as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behaviour.
To be unable to align one's behaviour with these laws
known to the general population of what is socially acceptable
would considered rude.

Image

There is a spectrum of the severity of what one would consider rude.

* Impolite
* Faux pas
* Inconsiderate
* Offensive
* Obscene
* Taboo/a crime

Image

A lot of behaviour that many societies would consider rude
or a breach of etiquette follows internationally.

* Expelling flatulence in company.
* Spitting or gleeking.
* Sexual intercourse in view of public (also a crime).
* Nose picking, scratching private parts, or cutting finger nails in public.
* Putting feet up or sitting back on a chair to "relax".
* Ear picking
* Discussion of a sexual nature or concerning bodily functions,
especially using sexual slang.
* Swearing, also see profanity.
* Telling someone they are overweight, older looking,
or making other unwelcome comments on appearance
(also held as not politically correct)
* Public urination (also a crime).
* Exhibitionism (a crime when in public).
* Wearing hats at the food table.
* Any discussion of controversial subjects, such as politics or religion,
depending on circumstance.
* Use of a mobile phone during a gathering
or within a theater is considered rude and inconsiderate.
* Elbows on the table.
* Cat Calls.
* Gossip/Rumors.
* Interrupting.
* Eating before everyone is seated or has been served.

could any of our viewers enlighten me as to the intricacies
of posting via eplaya
with more finesse with regard to linking to other web locations
without bombarding people with crass numbers and symbols,
as in creating a post that, for example, presents "other than opposable digits"
as a hyperlink
which would lead to:

my time spent in the presence of stars of rock
seems to have left me in an ambivalence

Psychology. the coexistence within an individual of positive and negative feelings toward the same person, object, or action,
simultaneously drawing him or her in opposite directions.


my nature tells me i am similar, yet differing...

the parodox is an unworkable situation from any conventional standpoint...

there's not a flaw... yet there is an impasse.

it has a savor that runs through my recallable experience of perception

i left distinct from them...thus left with the experience of aloneness...

yet presented with visions of congruity of another plane of existing

one which harkens attributes more desirable than other i've found...

yet the impasse...

where is my divergence...

is it merely mind construct,
or is it based in the reality of my personae...

where we stand tells much of where we may travel to.

yet wherever i stand, there they are...

being themselves...

acting as impetus...

partly i feel discovered by them...

partly i feel i manifested their very being.

forgetfulness has been a boon time and time again...

yet i can't image a time

where i felt the shadows of their souls

could lack the key

which unlocks soul

lest we forget

i gift homage

super-charismatic stacy finley, 34, pleaded guilty in january
in shreveport, la., to defrauding 22 middle-class victims
by somehow convincing them to pay a total of $989,000
to have medical scans done of their bodies by overhead satellite
and to be administered secret therapeutic drugs while they slept,
by CIA agents who would sneak into their homes.

apparently, the remote village of yaohnanen on the south pacific island of vanuatu,
is preparing to celebrate the 86th birthday in june
of their god, prince philip of great britain.
the natives believe the prince is the son of an ancient spirit
which resides on a nearby mountain, but so far have been content
merely to display a well-worn picture of the prince.
though he has never visited, he did somehow pose
for a photograph around 1980
while holding a traditional pig-killing club,
which especially delighted the tribe.

biologists at germany's university of jena
announced in january that they were terminating a research project
on animal movements after three years
because they were tired of waiting for a sloth named mats
to leave his perch.
