I. The Homefree.

Note on The Homefree Section: Many sites shown won’t be from your area. These are included so that communities may look at each other’s Programs for the poor, which is, obviously, what most homefree people are. Also: not all the sites have changed over to the new usage ‘homefree’. Many of the sites are old. An e-mail or two to them from you, dear reader, will be useful in this regard. 2015: Note also that some of these links, and their websites, still have the old-school word “homeless” in them. Some of the sites are old, up to 10 years old and more, and so, they still have the old-fashioned “homeless” word in them, not the “homefree” we use today.

http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-muckrakers/2013/06/housing-activists-welcome-new-york-times-coverage-want-more-gender-balance/ In a city still suffering from a housing crisis that ripped through economically disadvantaged black and Latino communities, an article that throws a national spotlight on Chicago activists’ fight to claim empty and dilapidated houses is a welcome acknowledgement of their struggle. In a May 29 article titled “The Death and Life of Chicago,” The New York Times Magazine looked at the activism that has sprung up to tackle the glut of vacant and foreclosed buildings in Chicago’s low-income neighborhoods. The story focused on the Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaign, a group fighting evictions and foreclosures that modeled its activism on South Africa’s Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign’s tactic of building homes on unused land.

The National Alliance to End Homelessness (below). The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonprofit, non-partisan, organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the United States. The National Alliance to End Homelessness (Alliance) works to end homelessness. Though the popular response to homelessness in America has long been shelter, the Alliance maintains that we can end homelessness altogether and not just one night at a time. Years of research, pilot projects, and case studies show that there are solutions to effectively and efficiently end homelessness through housing.

Our vision is that hundreds of communities and thousands of volunteers across the nation will be inspired to start housing their chronic and vulnerable homeless neighbors.
http://100khomes.org/read-the-manifesto/housing-first  }For years, homeless service providers worked to offer medical and mental health care, addiction counseling, job training and countless other services to people living on the streets. Most homeless people were told they had to earn their way to permanent housing by checking these supplementary boxes. While the intentions behind this approach were good, the unfortunate result was that very few people ever escaped the streets. 100,000 Homes communities believe this traditional approach is backwards, and the data agrees with them. Countless studies have  now shown that we must offer housing first, not last, if we want to help people out of homelessness. An immediate connection to permanent supportive housing can ensure that over 80% of homeless individuals remain housed, even among clients with severe substance abuse and mental health conditions.

http://architectureforhumanity.org/ }It is with great regret that we announce that Architecture for Humanity, LLC will be filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The Board expects that the bankruptcy will be filed within the next two weeks. This decision was made after serious consideration and review of all options. All staff was laid off as of January 1, 2015 and the physical office in San Francisco has been closed. As of January 1, 2015, the organization also stopped accepting donations. It is important to distinguish that while Architecture for Humanity as a 501c3 company is filing for bankruptcy, many of the international chapters of Architecture for Humanity, while they share a common name, are separate legal entities and will continue their work without pause. Additionally, the U.S. based chapters of Architecture for Humanity are managed by all volunteer directors, and those directors have vowed to continue the work of the organization, though it may be under a different name. It is a testament to what Architecture for Humanity has meant tothe profession that the work will continue. 2017 DL (redirect). Replacement:
http://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/pop-housing-competition.html }HAWSE (Homes through Apprenticeships With Skills for Employment.) Here’s the winner of an interesting and important competition that challenged architects to design housing for the homeless for under £20,000 ($31,700) per unit. Whew, that is a challenge. Organized by Building Trust International, the HOME competition attracted 450 proposals from over 50 cities. Architects and designers from 20 different countries are thinking about the same difficult issues. The winner was this design by Levitt Bernstein, slotted into abandoned garage spaces. The 23 sq. m. one room unit could be built for about £13,000 ($20,100).  Each unit contains a sleeping area, washroom and kitchen facilities. The project would be built through an apprenticeship scheme with the components manufactured off-site and assembled in situ so it’s quickly put-together and easily recycled as well.

http://www.boredpanda.com/bilboard-houses-for-homeless-project-gregory-slovakia/ }Innovative architectural design team from Slovakia came up with a brilliant idea how to transform roadside billboards into small apartments for the homeless. The two-room apartments would be built around the triangular shape of the billboard and feature a kitchen, an office space, a bed with some storage underneath, and even a bathroom. DesignDevelop, the team behind this project, explain the idea on their website: “The Gregory project brings optimization to the construction of billboard structures. Such an object would need just  a minimal maintenance cost which could be partially paid through the rental of its advert space”.

http://www.cityvision.edu/wiki/discrimination-against-homeless }Use of the law to discriminate against the homeless generally takes on one of four forms: restricting the public areas in which sitting or sleeping are allowed, prohibiting begging, removing the homeless from particular areas, or enforcing laws on the homeless and not on those who are not homeless. The French novelist Anatole France noted this phenomenon as long ago as 1894, famously observing that “the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges”.  (“This wiki is part of the online library of City Vision University.

https://www.facinghomelessness.org/    }Through an invitation to see the beauty in each person, we encourage the community to bring connection and relationship to the center of their lives. This nurtures the empathy and compassion needed to catalyze a grassroots movement toward ending homelessness. Facing Homelessness began its journey in 2010, with a belief that we can and will end homelessness when we invite community to be a part of the solution. The power in humanizing homelessness is that it allows all of us to see the beauty of each person living on our streets, rather than fixating on the complexity of an issue that overwhelms us.

It’s the beginning of a new, moveable “eco-village” for the community. And it was designed and built by teenagers. Dubbed the Impossible City, the house is part of a project run by Sawhorse Revolution, a local nonprofit that teaches students basic design and construction skills while building things that the community can actually use. One day, project leaders happened to walk by Nickelsville and realized they could help.

http://nextcity.org/features/view/the-design-solution-for-homelessness-Skid-Row-Housing-Trust }A few blocks’ distance shouldn’t render a place invisible, but for generations in Los Angeles it has. Skid Row has one of the highest concentrations of homeless people in the nation. Demographers estimate there are 5,000 to 11,000 destitute individuals living in a 50-block radius just south of the crowded bars and hip restaurants of downtown, pushing shopping carts down trash-strewn streets and when it gets dark, passing out on the ground. Most Angelenos have no reason to visit the area or consider the people living there. The Trust has a plan to change that. Unlike all the plans that came before, it relies on something that this culture capital already knows how to do well — aesthetics. Its portfolio of edgy, striking buildings has raised the design profile of Los Angeles and reframed the conversation about how to build affordable housing in a place where income inequality ranks among the highest in the nation.

NCH began 30 years ago at a convening of state and local organizations working together to ensure the right to shelter and access to affordable housing for men, women, children and families who were experiencing homelessness. NCH decided early on that it would be an organization that not only welcomed the participation of people who had experienced homelessness, but made certain that there would always be a place at the table for input and decision making.

Eminent designers were there to offer critiques. Calvin Tsao, of the firm Tsao and McKown, explained that he was particularly interested in the subject at hand, because in the past few years, “After many years of serving the one per cent,” he said, “I finally thought, ‘This is not what I’ve dedicated my life to.’ ” His latest project is a retirement home for elderly monks in Bhutan.

https://www.nlchp.org/civil_rights_resources }Housing Not Handcuffs: Ending the Criminalization of Homelessness in U.S. Cities. Homelessness remains a national crisis, as stagnated wages, rising rents, and a grossly insufficient social safety net have left millions of people homeless or at-risk. Although many people experiencing homelessness have literally no choice but to live outside and in public places, laws and enforcement practices punishing the presence of visibly homeless people in public space continue to grow. Homeless people, like all people, must engage in activities such as sleeping or sitting down to survive. Yet, in communities across the nation, these harmless, unavoidable behaviors are punished as crimes or civil infractions. This report – the only national report of its kind – provides an overview of criminalization measures in effect across the country and looks at trends in the criminalization of homelessness, based on an analysis of the laws in 187 cities that the Law Center has tracked since 2006.
https://www.nlchp.org/documents/DOJ-Complaint-Fact-Sheet  }Background: In 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a statement of interest in federal court arguing that it is unconstitutional to criminalize sleeping in public places without providing adequate shelter space in the area.  While that case — Bell v. City of Boise —is now on appeal, the profusion of state and local laws facilitating abuse of homeless persons makes it likely that the DOJ will be looking for opportunities to use its enforcement  powers of intervention or investigation in the future.
https://www.nlchp.org/documents/No_Safe_Place_Advocacy_Manual  }Since  the  previous  edition  of  this  manual  was  published  in  2011,  there  have been significant trends in case law regarding criminalization.  In this Executive Summary, we examine these trends in three specific areas – laws that forbid sharing food with homeless and poor persons, laws that prohibit sleeping,  camping,  sitting,  or  storing  property  in  public  places,  and  laws  that criminalize begging, solicitation, or peddling.  Most recent cases have either upheld the legal rights of homeless persons to perform various life-sustaining behaviors in public places or have resulted in positive court decisions allowing legal challenges to proceed; some of these have led to favorable settlements, others are still pending.

http://www.shelter20.com/homeless-statistics/  }It is very difficult to determine how many homeless people there are in the world because countries have different legal definitions for homelessness. Natural disasters and sudden civil unrest also complicate the picture. The best we have is a conservative estimate from the United Nations in 2005, which puts the number of homeless at 100 million. One approximation of the annual number of homeless in America is from a study by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, which estimates between 2.3 and 3.5 million people experience homelessness. According to a 2008 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report an estimated 671,888 people experienced homelessness in one night in January 2007. Some 58 percent of them were living in shelters and transitional housing and, 42 percent were unsheltered.

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2015/03/13/3633455/albuquerque-homeless-tent-city-evictions-saga/ }For the fourth time in five weeks, homeless people in Albuquerque are facing eviction from a patch of unused ground where they had set up tents and sought to cobble together some kind of community. State police and Department of Transportation (NMDOT) officials notified the campers on Tuesday that they would have until Friday afternoon to disperse. An NMDOT spokeswoman told ThinkProgress that the agency will not use police to enforce that Friday deadline, but will ask a judge to order the campers to disperse — something that could ultimately mean law enforcement would get involved if the homeless campers still refuse to comply. The original “Tent City” had about 30 tents when Albuquerque city police and social workers cleared it out in February. Just five days after moving the last stragglers off the original site, city employees covered the original tent site with “sharp, bowling ball-sized rocks,” local foreclosure attorney Joe Coffey told ThinkProgress.

On Monday, the Parliament passed an amendment to the Hungarian Fundamental Law that authorizes national and municipal legislation to outlaw sleeping in public spaces.

Replacements: http://nhi.org/online/issues/135/organize.html     }“America has more empty houses than homeless people,” says Cheri Honkala, the executive director of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union (KWRU), an organization of poor people fighting poverty. Honkala counts more than 25,000 vacant structures in Philadelphia, which has more abandoned housing in its old, now-bereft working-class neighborhoods than almost any city in the United States. “We take them over so the people who need them can use them,” she says.   and   http://www.aboutus.com/KWRU.org    }The Kensington Welfare Rights Union (KWRU) is a multiracial organization of, by and for poor and homeless people. We believe that we have a right to thrive - not just barely survive. KWRU is dedicated to organizing of welfare recipients, the homeless, the working poor and all people concerned with economic justice. While KWRU has spearheaded the national organization the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, we are based in Kensington, a neighborhood in North Philadelphia. Once a center for manufacturing, Kensington is now the poorest district in the state of Pennsylvania. KWRU was started by a group of poor women in April 1991. We came together out of necessity - our communities and the survival of our families were threatened by Governor Casey's welfare cuts.

I coined the term co-intelligence to provide a conceptual space for all holistic dimensions and forms of intelligence, as collectively they have more intrinsically benign social implications.

Within mathematics, she wrote or lectured on astronomy (including its observational aspects – the astrolabe), geometry (and for its day advanced geometry at that) and algebra (again, for its time, difficult algebra), and made an advance in computational technique – all this as well as engaging in religious philosophy and aspiring to a good writing style. Her writings were, as best we can judge, an outgrowth of her teaching in the technical areas of mathematics. In effect, she was continuing a program initiated by her father: a conscious effort to preserve and to elucidate the great mathematical works of the Alexandrian heritage (112). She was murdered in 415 CE by a Christian mob who attacked her on the streets of Alexandria.

http://www.dada-companion.com/arp/     }Hans (Jean) Arp was born in the city of Strasbourg (1886). Between 1900 and 1908, he studied art at the Strasbourg School of Arts and Crafts, the Weimar Academy of Art, and the Académie Julian in Paris but was dissatisfied with the academic and tedious instruction. Since then living in Switzerland, Arp began to establish contacts with artists he had met in Paris and cofounded the Moderner Bund (with Oskar Lüthy), an exhibition society for Swiss modern artists. He also traveled widely, establishing connections with artists and writers in Paris, the expressionist Blaue Reiter group headed by Wasily Kandinsky in Munich, and Herwarth Walden's Sturm Gallery and magazine in Berlin.

The Internet site was created in January 2004, and carries a selection of articles which were published in the newspaper and then translated into English.  For Hervé Fuyet, who is also a translator, “English is the language of international communication”. Thus, his interest in translating l’Humanité – “it’s a way of enlarging our influence throughout the world”. The English website for l’Huma is based on the French site. “Sort of a little sister”… The site also favors the more analytical articles, and those less related to current events: criticism of books and films and philosophical ideas.

For more and more people, off-grid living has become the way to go. Although statistics on Americans who choose to take this route are hard to come by, trends suggest that the number is increasing. Some people do it to be self-reliant or more in touch with nature. Many go off-grid to step away from society. Still others do it because it is the most financially viable option available to them. “Going off the grid is not a game,” says Nick Rosen, founder of the Off-Grid website and author of “Off the Grid: Inside the Movement for More Space, Less Government, and True Independence in Modern America” (Penguin Books). “It is real life and a real choice for real people.”

If you cannot avoid acting in a particular way, then your action is not free. While it is generally understood that human beings have the ability to think and act freely as rational and moral agents, the common causal laws by which all human activities and responses are governed are incontestable. It is this conflict that provides the real problem of how we are free. It is hard to refute determinism in a world where almost all scientific disciplines depend on physical cause and effect.”

http://www.surrealismcentre.ac.uk/papersofsurrealism/journal5/acrobat%20files/articles/allmerpdf.pdf }Money,  paintings  and  even  reality  are  open  to  forgery  and,  according  to  Marcel  Mariën,  have  been forged by René Magritte. This essay explores the intricate routes, entanglements and developments of Magritte’s alleged forgeries as subversive strategies against his official œuvre, which he at the same time constructs and demolishes, placing the viewer as well as the reader of his biographical writings in eternal uncertainty. Drawing on theorists such as Jean Baudrillard and Jacques Derrida, these alleged forgeries will also be related to his application of trompe l’œil techniques as a way to undermine the aesthetic  sublime.  Through  these  strategies,  Magritte  invites comparison  with his hero  Fantômas where the moment of (in Magritte’s case canonical) capture becomes the very moment of his escape. What would a mark be that one could not cite? And whose origin could not be lost on its way? (Jacques Derrida)

He wrote the words to over 600 songs with a variety of composers, most notably all the lyrics in the 1939 motion picture classic  “The Wizard of Oz,” including “Over the Rainbow” which was voted the Number 1 recording of the 20th century in a 2001 poll conducted by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Recording Industry Association of America. On Broadway Yip began writing lyrics for multiple revues in the 1930s which included songs that became standards including “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?,” the classic anthem of the Depression (with composer Jay Gorney, 1932) and “April in Paris” (with Vernon Duke, 1932).

Giorgio Samorini. This paper is based in part on a presentation made at the conference of the International Transpersonal Association (ITA), May 1996, in Manaus, Brazil. I summarize my thesis in two statements: one—the relentless exploitation and destruction of the biosphere by the capitalist-industrial growth machine around the globe is rooted in a pathological domination complex of “civilized” humans toward the natural world. And two—the revival of interest in animistic worldviews and in the shamanic practices of traditional peoples, including the intentional use of hallucinogenic sacraments, is among the hopeful signs that the split between the sacred and the natural can be healed again.
https://arcosanti.org/ }Arcosanti is an urban laboratory focused on innovative design, community, and environmental accountability. Our goal is to actively pursue lean alternatives to urban sprawl based on Paolo Soleri’s theory of compact city design, Arcology (architecture + ecology). Built by over 7,000 volunteers since the commencement of the project in 1970, Arcosanti provides various mixed-use buildings and public spaces where people live, work, visit, and participate in educational and cultural programs.”  Every year Arcosanti welcomes 50,000 visitors who come and experience firsthand the vision and architecture of this vibrant educational community in the beautiful high desert of central Arizona.

Indeed, the major “justification” given for logging public lands is typically some social or ecological benefit—to reduce fires, clean up bug killed trees, fix watersheds, restore forest health or provide for “economic stability” to rural communities. In far too many cases, all of these are just cover to hide the main reason for logging—to maintain the local timber industry at the  expense of our forest’s ecological integrity and taxpayer dollars.

In ecology the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans it is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which in turn depends on the maintenance of the natural world and natural resources. Ways of living more sustainably can take many forms from reorganising living conditions (e.g., ecovillages, eco-municipalities and sustainable cities), reappraising economic sectors (permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture), or work practices (sustainable architecture), using science to develop new technologies (green technologies, renewable energy), to adjustments in individual lifestyles that conserve natural resources.

But what the pod lacks in good looks, it makes up for with hardy sustainable design: grass seeds planted in the cladding will sprout into a green covering over the whole structure, and a solar panel provides power for a lamp and handful of electrical necessities inside. There’s room inside for a bed, water tank, and a small night table — only the bare necessities for Haifei, who told China Daily he crashes in the egg after working until midnight at his architecture office. Let’s hope what he saves on rent will translate into his creating better options for other price-out Beijing residents in the future.

Tokyo based architects Bakoko have come up with a circular pod-shaped teahouse that does just that by harnessing temperatures in excess of 120°F that are generated by compost. The designers are taking a simple, biological process and turning it into a viable (and free) way to heat small public spaces like the traditional garden teahouses found all throughout Japan.

Whole systems are dynamic, they change they move, they develop.

http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/awc-thkg.htm#complex-complicated }Merely complicated systems are composed of numerous parts and structures, all logically separable from their environment. An example would be the system for deploying units on a time table for an operation like D-day. Such a schedule could be accurately analyzed in the abstract. Complex systems are made up of dynamic, interactive, and adaptive elements that cannot be separated from interaction with their environments. The significant elements of complex systems are human beings and their relationships. An example would be the action-reaction interplay of the various actors in cooperation and contention on D-day.  Analysis could never predict the relationships that were the most important part of the flow of events. Where merely complicated systems require mostly deduction and analysis (formal logic of breaking into parts), complexity requires inductive and abductive reasoning for diagnostics and synthesis (the informal logic of making new wholes of parts). Because the elements of complex systems we care most about are human ones, making sense of relationships requires hypothetical synthesis in the form of maps or narratives. Such maps and narratives evolve as informal products that reflect a dimly perceived truth at a moment of understanding in time. To make the best sense of human relationships, interactions, trends, and propensities, military commands have to adopt a habitually skeptical approach to such non-deductive conclusions. Such habituation implies a new intellectual culture that balances design and planning while evincing an appreciation for the dynamic flow of human factors and a bias toward perpetual learning and adapting.

Whether or not these phenomena are characteristic of something called “Generation X” we must leave for media to determine; after all, it’s their job to define and make intelligible social reality. That aside, I think there are aspects of regression that are noteworthy/possibly significant, and which need to be put in context.

The publishers, understanding their own interest, have set forth a proposal through the Clinton Administration to fix the “problems” by deciding the conflict in their favor. This proposal, the Lehman White Paper, was the principal focus of the “Innovation and the Information Environment” conference at the University of Oregon (November 1995).

To what degree can it be said that we are really living? As the substance of culture seems to shrivel and offer less balm to troubled lives, we are led to look more deeply at our barren times. And to the place of culture itself in all this. An anguished Ted Sloan asks (1996), “What is the problem with modernity? Why do modern societies have such a hard time producing adults capable of intimacy, work, enjoyment, and ethical living? Why is it that signs of damaged life are so prevalent?” According to David Morris (l994), “Chronic pain and depression, often linked and occasionally even regarded as a single disorder, constitute an immense crisis at the center of postmodern life.” We have cyberspace and virtual reality, instant computerized communication in the global village; and yet have we ever felt so impoverished and isolated?

It becomes what it helps, a dreadful irony, one that hurts. But it is only temporary, just for a little while. And then we go home for all eternity.

http://www.enchantedmind.com/brain/human-consciousness-is-simply-a-state-of-matter-like-a-solid-or-liquid-but-quantum/ }Thanks to the work of a small group neuroscientists and theoretical physicists over the last few years, we may finally have found a way of analyzing the mysterious, metaphysical realm of consciousness in a scientific manner. The latest breakthrough in this new field, published by Max Tegmark of MIT, postulates that consciousness is actually a state of matter. “Just as there are many types of liquids, there are many types of consciousness,” he says. With this new model, Tegmark says that consciousness can be described in terms of quantum mechanics and information theory, allowing us to scientifically tackle murky topics such as self awareness, and why we perceive the world in classical three-dimensional terms, rather than the infinite number of objective realities offered up by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Denied imperfections and errors are free to grow without limit, and Skepticism is not immune to this problem.

http://www.fallacyfiles.org/   }I began collecting and studying logical fallacies about twenty-five years ago, when I first became interested in logic. This collection took two forms: A collection of named fallacies; and a collection of fallacious, or otherwise bad, arguments, that is, examples of reasoning which may commit one or more of the named fallacies under 1, or are bad in some way yet to be classified. Some years after I began to amass these files, I wondered just what I ought eventually to do with them, how best to organize the information within them, and in what form to make them available to others interested in fallacy studies.

http://www.jonkolko.com/writingAbductiveThinking.php  }Abduction has been described by Roger Martin (Dean of the Rotman School of Management) as the “logic of what might be,” and while this certainly serves to embody this logic in the context of design, it isn’t entirely accurate. Instead, abduction can be thought of as the argument to the best explanation. It is the hypothesis that makes the most sense given observed phenomenon or data and based on prior experience. Abduction is a logical way of considering inference or “best guess” leaps. Unlike deduction or induction, abductive logic allows for the creation of new knowledge and insight—C is introduced as a best guess for why B is occurring, yet C is not part of the original set of premises. And unlike deduction, but similarly true to induction, the conclusions from an abductive argument might turn out to be false, even if the premises are true.

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/259502845_NeuroIS_The_Potential_of_Cognitive_Neuroscience_for_Information_Systems_Research }This paper introduces the idea of drawing upon the cognitive neuroscience literature to inform IS research (herein termed “NeuroIS”). Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience are uncovering the neural bases of cognitive, emotional, and social processes, and they offer new insights into the complex interplay between IT and information processing, decision-making, and behavior among people, organizations, and markets. The paper reviews the emerging cognitive neuroscience literature to propose a set of seven opportunities that IS researchers can use to inform IS phenomena, namely (1) localizing the neural correlates of IS constructs, (2) capturing hidden mental processes, (3) complementing existing sources of IS data with brain data, (4) identifying antecedents of IS constructs, (5) testing consequences of IS constructs, (6) inferring the temporal ordering among ISconstructs, and (7) challenging assumptions and enhancing IS theories. The paper proposes a framework for exploring the potential of cognitive neuroscience for IS research and offers examples of potentially fertile intersections of cognitive neuroscience and IS research in the domains of design science and human-computer interaction. This is followed by an example NeuroIS study in the context of e-commerce adoption using fMRI, which spawns interesting new insights. The challenges of using functional neuroimaging tools are also discussed. The paper concludes that there is considerable potential for using cognitive neuroscience theories and functional brain imaging tools in IS research to enhance IS theories.

Entheogens can supplement many diverse practices for transcendence, and revelation, including meditation, yoga, and prayer, psychedelic and visionary art, chanting, and music including peyote song and psytrance, traditional medicine and psychedelic therapy, witchcraft, magic, and psychonautics. Entheogens have been used in a ritualized context for thousands of years; their religious significance is well established in anthropological and modern evidences. Examples of traditional entheogens include psychedelics like peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, and ayahuasca, psychedelic-dissociatives like Tabernanthe iboga, atypical psychedelics like Salvia divinorum, quasi-psychedelics like cannabis and Ipomoea tricolor, deliriants like Amanita muscaria. Traditionally a tea, admixture, or potion like ayahuasca or bhang have been compounded through the work of a shaman or apothecary.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observations_on_Man }Hartley’s theory helped give birth to the modern study of the connection between the physiology of the brain and “the mind”. Hartley believed that sensation is the result of vibrations of the minute particles of the medullary substance of the nerves, made possible by a subtle, elastic ether that was rare in the interstices of solid bodies and in their close neighbourhood. Pleasure was the result of moderate vibrations and pain of violent vibrations, sometimes so violent that they broke the continuity of the nerves. These vibrations left behind a tendency to fainter vibrations or “vibratiuncles” of a similar kind in the brain, which corresponded to “ideas of sensation.” This accounted for memory.

http://wiredcosmos.com/2013/05/01/human-brain-vs-supercomputer/   }Is the human brain, in fact, smarter than a supercomputer with these capabilities? Kwabena Boahen, Ph.D. professor at Stanford University and director of the Brains in Silicon Research Laboratory says it is. “The brain is actually able to do more calculations per second than even the fastest supercomputer,” said Boahen. Of course, the brain makes a single calculation much slower than a supercomputer, but the brain can actually execute more calculations per second because it is “massively parallel.” What this means is that networks of neurons actually work together to simultaneously solve many problems at once. However, in computing platforms, each step must be completed before the next step begins.

http://babelnet.org/    }BabelNet is a multilingual lexicalized semantic network and ontology developed at the Linguistic Computing Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science of the Sapienza University of Rome.[1][2] BabelNet was automatically created by linking Wikipedia, to the most popular computational lexicon of the English language, WordNet. The integration is performed by means of an automatic mapping and by filling in lexical gaps in resource-poor languages with the aid of statistical machine translation. The result is an "encyclopedic dictionary" that provides concepts and named entities lexicalized in many languages and connected with large amounts of semantic relations. Additional lexicalizations and definitions are added by linking to free-license wordnets, OmegaWiki, the English Wiktionary, Wikidata, FrameNet, VerbNet and others. Similarly to WordNet, BabelNet groups words in different languages into sets of synonyms, called Babel synsets. For each Babel synset, BabelNet provides short definitions (called glosses) in many languages harvested from both WordNet and Wikipedia.

http://watson.kmi.open.ac.uk/WatsonWUI/index.html    }This is the Watson Web interface for searching ontologies and semantic documents using keywords (semantic search engine). This interface is subject to frequent evolutions and improvements. If you want to share your opinion, suggest improvement or comment on the results, don't hesitate to contact us...At the moment, you can enter a set of keywords (e.g. "cat dog old_lady"), and obtain a list of URIs of semantic documents in which the keywords appear as identifiers or in literals of classes, properties, and individuals. You can also use "jokers" in the keywords (e.g., "ca? dog*"). Search options allow you to restrict the search space to particular types of entities (classes, properties or individuals) and to particular elements within the entities (local name, label, comment or any literal). For example, you can express queries like "give me the classes or the individuals using the term car in the name or in the label". Navigation in the results follows very simple principles. First, whenever a sign appears, it can be used to display additional information about the element it is attached with. Second, every URI is clickable. A URI is a link to a page describing either the entity or the semantic document it corresponds to, and gives access to additional functionalities using this particular entity or document.

https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/data   }The Semantic Web is a Web of Data — of dates and titles and part numbers and chemical properties and any other data one might conceive of. The collection of Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, SKOS, SPARQL, etc.) provides an environment where application can query that data, draw inferences using vocabularies, etc.
However, to make the Web of Data a reality, it is important to have the huge amount of data on the Web available in a standard format, reachable and manageable by Semantic Web tools. Furthermore, not only does the Semantic Web need access to data, but relationships among data should be made available, too, to create a Web of Data (as opposed to a sheer collection of datasets). This collection of interrelated datasets on the Web can also be referred to as Linked Data. To achieve and create Linked Data, technologies should be available for a common format (RDF), to make either conversion or on-the-fly access to existing databases (relational, XML, HTML, etc). It is also important to be able to setup query endpoints to access that data more conveniently. W3C provides a palette of technologies (RDF, GRDDL, POWDER, RDFa, the upcoming R2RML, RIF, SPARQL) to get access to the data.

The third type of Kabbalah is the magical, which concerns itself with altering and influencing the course of nature. It also uses the Divine names, incantations, amulets, magical seals and various other mystical exercises.

http://www.worldtrans.org/essay/holarchies.html }Holarchies.  Holarchy is a word coined by Arthur Koestler. It is a combination between the Greek word ‘holos’ meaning whole and the word ‘hierarchy’. It is a hierarchically organized structure of units or entities that are called ‘Holons’. Each Holon could be regarded as either a whole or as a part depending on how one looks at it. A Holon will look as a whole to those parts beneath it in the hierarchy, but it will look as a part to the wholes above it. So, a Holarchy is then a whole that is also a structure of parts that are in themselves wholes.

At the dawn of the space age, the earliest experiments discovered this link between the Sun and the Earth: Explorer 1 (1958—radiation belts), Mariner 2 (1962—solar wind) and Skylab (1973—coronal mass ejections and coronal holes as the source of solar wind). This led to the understanding that stars interact with the universe not just through gravity and photon radiation but also through electromagnetic fields and particles.

In supercritical water, however, isolated clusters are formed. They consist of water molecules that are bound inside the cluster via hydrogen bonds, but do not have any hydrogen bonds to other clusters. The number of clusters of different sizes differs between supercritical states with high and low density. Properties of the gas phase are prevailing in supercritical water with low density, those of the liquid phase in supercritical water with high density.

http://www.vision.net.au/~apaterson/science/david_bohm.htm  }more on David Bohm. Bohm postulates that the ultimate nature of physical reality is not a collection of separate objects (as it appears to us), but rather it is an undivided whole that is in perpetual dynamic flux. For Bohm, the insights of quantum mechanics and relativity theory point to a universe that is undivided and in which all parts "merge and unite in one totality." This undivided whole is not static but rather in a constant state of flow and change, a kind of invisible ether from which all things arise and into which all things eventually dissolve. Indeed, even mind and matter are united: "In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather they are different aspects of one whole and unbroken movement" (in Hayward 1987, 25). Similarly, living and nonliving entities are not separate. As Bohm puts it, "The ability of form to be active is the most characteristic feature of mind, and we have something that is mindlike already with the electron." Thus, matter does not exist independently from so-called empty space; matter and space are each part of the wholeness.

http://www.aeonjournal.com/articles/road_to_saturn/road_to_saturn.html    }On the mythological front, it was not long before I had to accept that the deities of the ancient nations originated as personifications of cosmic bodies, prime among which were the very planets of the solar system. It did not take Velikovsky, or any of his precursors, to convince me of this. The ancients, who were in the best position to know what they themselves believed in, so stated in many of their texts. It therefore struck me as strange that most modern mythologists would go to such great pains in attempting to explain mythological characters and themes in anything but cosmic terms. In this respect, whatever else may be said of him, Velikovsky proved superior. Not that he was always correct when identifying specific deities with specific planets but, had he dug deeper in a field which I now know to have been novel to him, he would have discovered that, in many instances, the ancients themselves had already supplied the identities of their gods. Where they did not, the rules of comparative mythology unerringly lead the way. But that is something that only crept slowly on me as my research continued to unfold.

http://wayback.archive.org/web/20070905141341/http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/ }Although most people know that a list exists of the Seven World Wonders, only few can name them. The list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was originally compiled around the second century BC. The first reference to the idea is found in History of Herodotus as long ago as the 5th century BC. Decades later, Greek historians wrote about the greatest monuments at the time. Callimachus of Cyrene (305BC-240BC), Chief Librarian of the Alexandria Mouseion, wrote “A Collection of Wonders around the World”. All we know about the collection is its title, for it was destroyed with the Alexandria Library. The final list of the Seven Wonders was compiled during the Middle Ages. The list comprised the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages. Others did not even co-exist. Among the oldest references to the canonical list are the engravings by the Dutch artist Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), and Johann Fischer von Erlach’s History of Architecture.
http://electric-cosmos.org/ouruniverse.htm  }A fascination with the universe that surrounds us dates back to an age long before there were telescopes, space probes, or shuttle missions, when prehistoric man cast his eyes to the heavens.  Pictographs of a great diversity of early cultures independently depict man’s fascination with and fear of what he observed. Myths and lore tell of strange and violent events – terrifying dramas in the heavens and catastrophic changes in the cosmic order itself.  The myths and pictographs of antiquity clearly show that, at one time, our eyes saw a vastly different sky from the one astronomers view in their instruments today.
http://www.everythingselectric.com/eu-theory-saturn-polar-configuration  }It is mainly from ancient descriptions of the Golden Age, the fall of man, Doomsday, the Comet Venus and especially Velikovsky, combining with plasma cosmology and Electric Universe theory that one of the most controversial ideas has come – the Saturn Configuration.  Most mythology around the world suggests a Golden Age (Garden of Eden), this is suggest to be when planet Earth was in Saturn’s plasmasphere. Then something happened to the Saturn System or our Solar System, this is remembered in folklore and perhaps the human consciousness as Doomsday, the sky falling on our heads. During this event either the planets changed their order and obrits or Earth left Saturn’s electromagnetic environment. After the planet Gods fighting each other with cosmic thunderbolts, wars, takeovers etc our solar system eventually settled down into the calm that we have known for perhaps the last 1 or 2 thousand years.

It is of interest in its own right, facilitating our understanding of past cultures and their outlook on the world. This is especially felt in cases where recent discoveries shed fresh light on historical data that had previously been inscrutable. On a deeper level, a study of historical information about the realm of nature also helps to clarify the nature and origin of religion as a whole. Conversely, historical sources have much to contribute to modern science, as they can complement the scientific reconstruction of the past, specifically the recent history of planet Earth. Areas which stand to gain much from historical input include reconstructions of the sunspot cycle and other aspects of solar activity, the earth's rotational properties, climate changes following the Last Glacial Maximum, past earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and changes in biodiversity.

So who was he? The most interesting candidate is a general named “Ramose”, who was the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian army under Akhenaten, and whose tomb was found at Amarna (AST11). Some authorities believe that this was the same person as one of the viziers to Amenhotep III and Akhenaten,7:385,8 whose unfinished tomb at Thebes (TT55) is among the finest in the Valley of the Nobles. Sigmund Freud suggested that Moses was actually Akhenaten himself,10,11 in which case we’d say that he was born in ~1380 bce, and was thus 68 years old in 1312 bce. But if Akhenaten was, indeed, included in the Exodus, there is another possibility for his identity in the Torah: he might have been Moses’ older brother Aaron (whose name meant lofty or exalted, which would have been appropriate for an ex-pharaoh).  Another (perhaps better) candidate for the original identity of Aaron is Prince Thutmose, Akhenaten’s older brother. There is no record of Thutmose’s death, which is odd in that it would have legitimized Akhenaten’s succession to Amenhotep III in the minds of the Egyptian populace.

After the exile of the Amarna heretics, Atenism resurfaced in Judaism.1,2:31 So the obvious inference is that the exiles went to Canaan, where they started teaching a new faith to the Habirus. The most important parallels between Atenism and Judaism were that they were the only monotheisms in practice at the time,3 and they were unique in ancient theology for forbidding idolatry,4 believing that God is “supreme and eternal, neither capable of representation, nor of decay.”5:5 Thus in their most fundamental conception of God, the two faiths were the same, and in stark contrast to all other faiths of the period. But that’s just the beginning…
http://www.seeker.com/ancient-greek-fortress-found-in-jerusalem-parking-lot-1770422730.html   }The remnants of the Acra, a fortress built by the Greek King Antiochus IV more than 2,000 years ago and sought for over 100 years, has emerged from a parking lot in Jerusalem, Israeli archaeologists said Tuesday.Mentioned in Jewish biblical sources and by historians like Josephus Flavius, the fortress was unearthed after 10 years of excavations under the parking lot. The discovery solved “one of Jerusalem’s greatest archaeological mysteries,” the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said Ancient Aqueduct Unearthed In Jerusalem.  The archaeologists unearthed a section of a massive wall, which they said was the base of an imposing tower measuring 66 feet long and 13 feet wide. In addition, the wall’s outer base was coated with layers of soil, stone and plaster. The specially designed slippery slope was meant to keep attackers away.
http://www.sumerian.org/prot-sum.htm }Before reading this paper, the reader should know that none of the proto-languages of the world’s great language families are more than ten thousand years old. Authors who speculate about the great time span for which humans have been using spoken language have never spent time actually studying the reconstructed ancestors of today’s existing languages. The modern linguist with the greatest knowledge of these ancestors, Igor M. Diakonoff (1915 – 1999), has pointed out that before historical times, all existing language ancestors could be categorized as ‘archaic’.

These familiar figures have a long history, and the more one learns about their links to the earlier cultures, the more a mystery of origins comes into focus. Long before Greek and Roman times, the Egyptians worshipped the luminary Atum or Ra, just as the Sumerians honored Utu and the Babylonians the god Shamash. Astronomers and priests celebrated this light of heaven as the “Universal Monarch,” the “father” of civilization and the celestial prototype of kings.

FAQs
.
1.  Q: Isn’t this List just repeating the Links from Harmony’s site?
A: No, the Links have been pursued to any interesting sites of relevance,
and the DLs weeded out and so forth, for your shopping convenience.
2.  Q: What are DLs?
A: Dead Links, also called broken links.
3.  Q: When was the word ‘homeless’ officially changed to ‘homefree’?
A: In 2004, in the poem, Why I Sit. But the trend away from words of the form “-less” and toward those of the form “-free”, has been happening for about 30 years already.
4.  Q: I noticed that your List is different from Harmony’s. What did you do besides remove the dead links and lost domain names?
A: We also tried to remove duplications by area or category, place items into correct categories, and avoid geographical areas too distant from the U.S.A.
5.  Q: What’s a Homefree Refuge?
A: This is, of course, a place where Homefree persons receive temporary housing.
6.  Q: Why have the Usenet and FTP sites been omitted?
A: Because the typical reader (of this document) won’t know what they are or how to use them. Restricting the List to Web URLs makes it simpler for everyone.
7.  Q: How did you decide what the best of Harmony’s Links are?
A:  See also the answers to the above questions. Readers of JKU are a select list, JKU attempts to bring to  you, the sites you won’t be seeing otherwise, music you might not have heard, videos you might not  have seen. We  also want to  present the core of Harmony’s vision. In some cases, her dead-links have been replaced by URLs of still extant websites.
8. Q: Where did Harmony find all her homefree links?
A: She travelled all over the country, and recorded the websites of places that were helping the homefree, etc. This was in about 1998; the authors met her and her companion in 1999.
9. Q: So, how old is Harmony’s website? How old is your List?
A:  According to Network Solutions, the site (http://harmony.kieding.org/index6.html ) was made on December 1, 2002, about one year  after they moved. We met in San Luis Obispo in the year 2000.  According to Netcraft, the site was first  seen (by them) in August, 2011. The site was last  refreshed on the server, probably by the netblock owner, today, December 19,  2012. Our List was made in 2007 and first released on July 30,  2007.
10. Q: Is there a way that we can contact Harmony?
A: We aren’t sure. She seems to us to be deceased, but we have no proof of that. Her lastknown e-mail wasladyharmony23@yahoo.com , and that of her partner, Bjorn Tore, was  bt@kieding.org ; he was her site’s administrator. Bjorn Tore was also the site’s listed registrant, and he  lived in Tonsberg, Norway, at that time.
11. Q: So, how can we contact you?
A: We recommend using our e-mail for that.
Jae Kamel: hillman1932@hotmail.com ; jaekamels@gmail.com
Jone Dae: jonedae@hotmail.com ; drjonedae@gmail.com
12. Q: So where is this poem, Why I Sit?
A:  It’s here-     .
