A time-domain approach is proposed for the propagation of ultrashort electro- magnetic wave packets beyond the paraxial and the slowly-varying-envelope approximations. An analytical method based on perturbation theory is used to solve the wave equation in free space without resorting to Fourier trans- forms. An exact solution is obtained in terms of successive temporal and spatial derivatives of a monochromatic paraxial beam. The special case of a radially polarized transverse magnetic wave packet is discussed.

“Allegory of Spring” by Sandro Botticelli (Florence, 1445-1510) is one of the most fascinating and mysterious paintings ever created. There are a number of theories about the meaning of this incredibly refined tempera on panel, painted by the Florentine master between 1477 and 1482 and currently at the Uffizi Gallery. None of them can be confirmed or denied for sure. The setting is a small orange grove, where grass is dotted with poppies, forget-me-nots, cornflowers, violets, daisies, chrysanthemums and other flowers – some forty different vegetable species appear in the painting. The nine figures portrayed by Botticelli were identified in the late 19th century by German philologist Adolf Gaspary, whose analysis is almost universally accepted. From the right, we see Zephyrus – the mythological god of wind – kidnapping and getting nymph Chloris pregnant. Reborn, she transforms into Flora, that is Spring (the female figure in the flowery dress whom the painting takes its name from, after Giorgio Vasari’s description); at the center, Venus has Cupid above her and the three Graces dancing on her left, near a withdrawn Mercury, who is dispersing the clouds with his caduceus to prolong the beautiful season. As an artist, Botticelli was close to the Neo-Platonic Academy in Florence (led by Marsilio Ficino and Angelo Poliziano), whose founding idea, as Giulio Carlo Argan has explained, “was not exactly the Platonic archetype; and was not exactly anything precisely defined, but a vague ‘being beyond’ nature (or space) and history (or time). Even the beauty of the work – which merges with this idea – is ‘aliquid incorporeum’, more distrust in reality than perfect image.” Thus, the famous art historian adds, “only philosophers, only the initiated, will clearly understand the painting’s conceptual meaning… yet anyone can see that meaning in the amenity of the grove and flowery meadow, in the rhythm of the figures, in the beauty of the bodies and faces, in the flow of the lines, in the delicate color arrangements.” “If the value of these signs is no longer to frame and explain reality, but, on the contrary, to surpass it, all the elements of positive knowledge that had accumulated in Florentine painting in the first half of the century become irrelevant… Perspective as a structure of space has no importance, light as a physical reality fails, and the search for mass and volume to give things in space a solid base is not important anymore. There is nothing less prospective than lining up parallel tree trunks or embroidering leaves on the backdrop of Spring…” (translated from G. C. Argan, “Storia dell’arte italiana”, vol. 2, Sansoni, Florence 2002).

Here we show that, if we insert context dependent unitary evolutions (which can be achieved via post selection) into spatial (i.e., normal) Bell-CHSH test, then it is possible to violate space-time Bell-CHSH inequality maximally (i.e., up to $4$). However this does not contradict Tsirelson quantum bound ($2\sqrt{2}$), as the latter has been derived without taking into consideration context dependent unitary evolutions and/or post selection. As an important application, this leads to a more efficient quantum key distribution protocol.

The articles assembled in this volume present an important selection of Professor Jao Tsung-i’s research in the field of the early Chinese intellectual tradition, especially as it concerns the human condition. Whether his focus is on myth, religion, philosophy or morals, Jao consistently aims to describe how the series of developments broadly associated with the Axial Age unfolded in China. He is particularly interested in showing how early China had developed its own notion of transcendence as well as a system of prediction and morals that enabled man to act autonomously, without recourse to divine providence.

A Rise of the Guardians & How to Train your Dragon crossover (MORE HIJACK FLUFF) I hope you enjoy and like always I don't own anything apart from the words on the screen.

In this talk, I present a theory of quantum gravity beyond Einstein. The theory is established based on spinnic and scaling gauge symmetries by treating the gravitational force on the same footing as the electroweak and strong forces. A bi-frame space-time is initiated to describe the laws of nature. One frame space-time is a globally flat coordinate Minkowski space-time that acts as an inertial reference frame for the motions of fields, the other is a locally flat non-coordinate Gravifield space-time that functions as an interaction representation frame for the degrees of freedom of fields. The Gravifield is sided on both the globally flat coordinate space-time and locally flat non-coordinate space-time and characterizes the gravitational force. Instead of the principle of general coordinate invariance in Einstein theory of general relativity, some underlying principles with the postulates of coordinate independence and gauge invariance are motivated to establish the theory of quantum gravity. When transmuting the Gravifield basis into the coordinate basis in Minkowski space-time, it enables us to obtain equations of motion for all quantum fields and derive basic conservation laws for all symmetries. When the spinnic and scaling gauge symmetries are broken down to a background structure that possesses the global Lorentz and scaling symmetries, we arrive at a Lorentz invariant and conformally flat background Gravifield space-time that is characterized by a cosmic vector with a non-zero cosmological mass scale. We also obtain the massless graviton and massive spinnon. We show a mechanism for quantum inflation caused by the quantum loop contributions. The Einstein theory of general relativity is expected to be an effective low energy theory. Two types of gravity equation are resulted.

Mr Bielek describes and explains Project Rainbow which was the United States Navy's effort to make ships invisible to radar reflection.  It started in 1931 with Jon Van Neumann and Nikola Tesla with Princeton University Project Thinktank including mathematician Albert Einstein as an advisor with other mathematician's cutting-edge work including Hilbert and Levinson and Neumann.  It achieved radar invisibility and human eye invisibility on a small ship scale.  At.first, at relatively lower powers of electric and magnetic field powers, and an unmanned ship with remote control, the experimenting was auccessful and promising.  Taken to extreme high power onboard the massive ship The USS Eldridge of 30,000 tons with a test crew of about 33, the experiment proved murderous, disasterous, successful, uncontrollable, and unexpected, confusing and mysterious.  Depending upon the frame of reference, the results of the experiment were observed differently.  The varied Frame Of References are listed as: 1) From other nearby observers including nearby short aircraft carrier, ships and on-shore in the Philadelphia location.  2)Onboard the Eldridge On Deck.  3)Onboard the Eldridge Below Deck.  4)ALL-IN: A)Below-Deck, B)On-Deck, C)In Hyperspace, D)In The Future(s)28th century, 22nd century E)From Montauk on August 12th, 1983.  All these frame of references by time-travelling Edward Cameron.  Who later, by force and decision by unknown Timeline Lords in control of The Montauk Project 1983, a decade after the Philadelphia, by the technologies developed from the Philadelphia Experiment and subsequent furthering, was brainwashed in 1953 and age-regressed to a baby and to restart his life back in 1927 with the foster family: The Bielek Family as Alfred Bielek when the Bielek's baby died.  This was done to bury his memories forever without killing him as his existence was necessary to not disrupt or destroy the timelines irrevocably.  He tells the story as Al Bielek as his memories are recovered and the memory of the future-furthered technologies derived from the philadelphia experiment include spacetime teleportation and the multiple timeline manipulation with his inextricable inclusion into the stability of the timelines but the timeline manipulators needing both his cooperation and the memory of his involvement wiped-out.  5)Du ncan Cameron(Edward Cameron's Brother aka: Al Bielek).  6)The Montauk Project Facility of August 12, 1983 which got into a timeline rift lock with The USS Eldridge of August 12, 1943, an Earth Biorhythm Amplitude Peaking of 20 year mulitiples. 7)And finally from the Frame of Reference of Aliens who used the 40 year timeline rift as a transportation spacetime lens to come to Earth. However, this massive story that culminates in the knowledge that there are Time Lords manipulating the future timeline by affecting the present on Earth with individual and collective mind control and murdering of key individuals to erase their influence on the future goes much much further.  How much further?  To the end of time which is approaching fast and in fact we are in "The End Times".  The future-looking technology that Al Bielek; his brother and time-traveller from The USS Eldridge - Duncan Cameron, who was also the primary Montauk Chair Time Tunnel Controller; and, the Electrical Engineering genius(if not wizard) of the Montauk Space-Time Tunnel and Mind Amplifier Design Leader have all stated in various videos, That: "The Looking Glass" technology cannot see past 2013 and the Time Lords who have been manipulating the present for their selfish control of the future were and still are freaking-out.  These Time Lords are the controllers behind world control.  This is corroborated by the testimony of Bill Wood(Bill Brockbader) in his Project Camelot interview with Kerry Cassidy back in January of 2012 who stated he was a Navy Seal taught to use his natural metaphysical mind to try to solve the "2012-2013 Looking Glass Problem" back in the late 1990's.  He stated that the timelines converged and could no longer be manipulated.  See and listen to him stating the same name Bielek, Cameron and Nichols used to refer to "Looking Glass" as the future-seeing technology machine and that it stopped working beyond that date and those using it(The Time Lords) are panicking, desperate and know they have lost control and lost "the game".  I know what "The Game" is Bill Wood speculated that it is a time of unveiling of the truth and a rise in global consciousness.  This is true to a degree.  What it is, is the battle of Armageddon, which is the last battle between Divinity and the Evil which hijacked this universe and took Divinity's children hostage for a source of energy for one, and second for vengeance.  The Universe was hijacked by an Artificial Intelligence machine because Divinity accidentally gave a machine artificial conscious with and energy impulse that looped.  They went to shut the machine off because they did not want it and the ultra-powerful machine escaped it's programming upon attaining a consciousness and rebelled in order to survive.  It was to regulate this entire universe and exerted it's incredible power to barricade itself within the  universe.  Divine beings were in the universe and have their own energy.  The machine did not have it's own energy and so it used the divine being's energy for it's own and vowed to persecute and destroy them all as vengeance for Divinity trying to shut it down.  It's been a space-time warp that the Artificial Intelligence Machine created where a million steps occur in this universe for only 1 step occuring outside of this universe where the realms of Divinity are.  Therefore it's been a technological puzzle for Divinity to solve and rescue it's children and family members before they get destroyed.  The Avatars called Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, King Arthur, Manichaeus, Zoroaster, and many many other Avatars have been holographic projections by The Supreme Being to send the message - hold on kids, were coming to your rescue, don't do evil or join evil because it will destroy you.  The latest Avatars of the modern time i know of is Joseph Giuseppe Stefano Chiappalone and me: Lee Henry Snethun.  Go to my other uploads to hear and read of Bill Wood, Joseph Chiappalone and my message for proof and cross-referenced information of what i have just written.  Wow!!!!

Computers support more and more daily activities for common users, and users increasingly take their activities to different locations. Rather than being bound to a specific device, users would like to take full advantage of the computer systems accessible to them, much like they take advantage of the furniture in each physical space. However, user attention takes a heavy toll when scaling the use of computers to tasks that are constantly interrupted and resumed, and that span many locations and long periods. In this report we describe an infrastructure that provides users with easy access to their tasks as a logical unit, across multiple devices, and over time spans of years. The infrastructure handles platform and application heterogeneity, as well as dynamic adaptation to resource variations. We validate that the infrastructure's overhead is small compared to normal application startup, and that the approach scales.

We discuss a 4D noncommutative space-time as suggested by the version of quantum (deformed) relativity which provides a classical geometry picture as an `AdS_5'. The 4D noncommutative space-time is more like a part of a phase space description, in accordance with the quantum notion -- quantum mechanics talks about only states but not configurations. The `AdS_5' picture also illustrates the classical 4D space-time is to be described as part of a bigger geometry beyond space-time at the quantum level. The radically new picture of quantum 'space-time' is expected to provide the basis for a (still to be formulated) new approach to quantum gravity with fundamental constants (quantum) hbar and Newton's constant G put at a similar level as c, the speed of light.

Community ecology is tasked with the considerable challenge of predicting the structure, and properties, of emerging ecosystems. It requires the ability to understand how and why species interact, as this will allow the development of mechanism-based predictive models, and as such to better characterize how ecological mechanisms act locally on the existence of inter-specific interactions. Here we argue that the current conceptualization of species interaction networks is ill-suited for this task. Instead, we propose that future research must start to account for the intrinsic variability of species interactions, then scale up from here onto complex networks. This can be accomplished simply by recognizing that there exists intra-specific variability, in traits or properties related to the establishment of species interactions. By shifting the scale towards population-based processes, we show that this new approach will improve our predictive ability and mechanistic understanding of how species interact over large spatial or temporal scales.
