    <dc:creator>asfaltics</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[One day I thought, that’s enough’: the people fighting back against pothole-riddled roads
The dire state of roads has provoked pothole vigilantes and become a political flashpoint from Manchester to Manhattan. How did we get here?

Oliver Franklin-Wallis
The Guardian
Sun 31 May 2026

. . ...

Britain’s road traffic is also shifting dramatically. There are twice as many cars as in 1990 and, thanks to booming sales of SUVs and EVs, the average weight of a new car has also doubled, to nearly two tonnes. Though critics like to blame EVs for potholes, most experts agree they are only one of several factors (other countries have more EVs but better roads). Another is commercial vehicles: delivery vans, farm equipment, HGVs. A six-axle lorry can weigh up to 44 tonnes. “A lot of local roads,” Lancaster says, “were never designed for the amount of traffic they’re taking right now.”

Quietly, the way we build roads has changed, too. For decades British roads were built using hot rolled asphalt (HRA), in which stone chips are rolled into a thick layer of hot bitumen. In the 1990s, following the lead of France and Germany, highways authorities moved towards “thin-course” surfaces, particularly stone mastic asphalt (SMA), which are thinner, less noisy and reduce skidding and surface spray. But British SMA mixes proved less durable than the older HRA roads. “Those new systems that were more open, or invite water into texture or voids in the material, made it more susceptible to failure,” says Mike Hansford, of the Road Surface Treatments Association. This might have been manageable if roads were regularly “dressed”, or treated to protect the surface. But that did not happen. Instead, shortly after the financial crisis, many councils all but abandoned preventive treatments altogether.]]></description>

Olivier Messiaen: A Critical Biography 
by Robert Sholl.

The reasons Messiaen became such a ‘case’ were identified early on by Virgil Thomson. Messiaen was, Thomson pointed out, ‘a fully-fledged romantic’ in a post-Romantic age, when the lines between advanced composition and scientific research were becoming increasingly porous, particularly in academic music departments. His music is extravagant, wild, sometimes to the point of recklessness; Taruskin called it ‘maximalist transcendentalist’, in the mode of Scriabin. For all its modernist dissonances, it deploys traditional tonality to dramatic, even bombastic effect. While many of his students enlisted in the revolution of ‘total serialism’, repudiating diatonic music, Messiaen saw no reason to limit his options in the name of musical progress. He didn’t believe in progress; he believed in God. ‘Although he was certainly a towering figure in the history of 20th-century music, he was not of it,’ Taruskin wrote. ‘In a peculiar way the 20th century did not exist for him.’

Yet Messiaen was hardly orthodox in his Catholicism, which made him nearly as much of an iconoclast in the Church as he was in the church of modernism. He identified with a mystical and rebellious Catholic current which rejected ‘mechanical’ forms of worship and embraced artistic innovation as a near sacred duty.]]></description>

It was after the business had been established for about four years that the annual fall immigration brought Rose Carlon to Putnam. Before the first month had passed Rose's skill had become the talk of the factory. She had come an entirely green hand", yet she did her work with the ease and "finish" of an expert. She no doubt had a natural "faculty". Everything that she touched sprang to perfection. She advanced rapidly from the rank of label-baster to that of trimmer, and by the middle of the winter was made fore-woman in the millinery hall. A factory is an institution scarcely less social than industrial. It has its "social ladder" quite as much as the outside world. There is the same ambition to climb to the topmost rung. There are similar failures and successes, similar extremes and jealousies and contentions. The majority, too, throng the middle places, pushing and crowding one another. This competition offered no difficulties to Rose. From the first, she was noticed enviously by the girls and admiringly by the men. Soon she began to attract the attention of her employers. Of course she was remarkably clever at her work, but the other girls believed that this was the least secret of her success. Rose was certainly very good-looking. In their hearts even her enemies admitted it. She wasn't just ordinarily "pretty". Something about her threw into the shade pink cheeks and fair hair and sunny blue eyes. The former beauties of the Putnam works found themselves utterly eclipsed by this tall, lithe creature with the mass of waving dark-reddish hair, bright on top of the head where the sun touched it, but shadowy on neck and temples; with the clear, colorless complexion; a profile moulded from ivory; with eyes of deep gray, sometimes innocent and light, sometimes ardent and black. She was a revela tion to them. They had never seen anyone like her before, yet they knew from the first that she was beautiful.

"She's red-headed and pale as paper," declared Mina Trumbull, who up to Rose's appearance in Putnam had been the acknowledged belle of the works. "There ain't anything pretty about her. You wouldn't think you'd look at her twice. But [there's something in the way she walks] and the way she uses those hands of hers and the way she lifts those big, queer eyes and stares straight at a person that makes the menfolks perfectly dafty! Mr. Josephus Barnes, now!" Her voice sank to a whisper, for she had been talking to the girl next her in working hours and Mr. Josephus had charge of their hall.

//

Try as she might, however, Faustina could never acquire that illusive <i>something</i> that made her rival always appear better dressed than she. (218)]]></description>

When he did exchange words, he sometimes mentioned his true friends: the plants. Wood, he believed, was conscious. He told Michel Camilleri, a local bookbinder who helped compile his writings, that his kitchen table “knows more about you, your past, your present and your future than you will ever know”.]]></description>

Very few, if any, Mahomedans were present at the Convention. European and American Theosophists copy Hindus too closely to please the followers of the Prophet. If anyone says that Hindus and Mahomedans have the same interests in India, he makes a mistake. Mahomedans are playing a world-wide game to-day, and that game keeps them loyal to England in India, and very quiet.

Theologian and philosopher Jonas Simmerlein asked a chatbot to create the sermon given to more than 300 people in Germany.
Kirsten Grieshaber. Los Angeles Times. June 10, 2023

—

FUERTH, Germany —  The artificial intelligence chatbot asked the believers in the fully packed St. Paul’s church in the Bavarian town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord.
The ChatGPT chatbot, personified by an avatar of a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar, then began preaching to the more than 300 people who had shown up on Friday morning for an experimental Lutheran church service almost entirely generated by AI.

“Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this year’s convention of Protestants in Germany,” the avatar said with an expressionless face and monotonous voice.

The 40-minute service — including the sermon, prayers and music — was created by ChatGPT and Jonas Simmerlein, a theologian and philosopher from the University of Vienna.

“I conceived this service — but actually I rather accompanied it, because I would say about 98% comes from the machine,” the 29-year-old scholar told the Associated Press.

The AI church service was one of hundreds of events at the convention of Protestants in the Bavarian towns of Nuremberg and the neighboring Fuerth, and it drew such immense interest that people formed a long queue outside the 19th century, neo-Gothic building an hour before it began.

The convention itself — Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag in German — takes place every two years in the summer at a different place in Germany and draws tens of thousands of believers to pray, sing and discuss their faith. They also talk about current world affairs and look for solutions to key issues, which this year included global warming, the war in Ukraine — and artificial intelligence.

This year’s gathering is taking place from Wednesday to Sunday under the motto “Now is the time.” That slogan was one of the sentences Simmerlein fed ChatGPT when he asked the chatbot to develop the sermon.

“I told the artificial intelligence ‘We are at the church congress, you are a preacher … what would a church service look like?’” Simmerlein said. He also asked for psalms to be included, as well as prayers and a blessing at the end.

“You end up with a pretty solid church service,” Simmerlein said, sounding almost surprised by the success of his experiment.

Indeed, the believers in the church listened attentively as the artificial intelligence preached about leaving the past behind, focusing on the challenges of the present, overcoming fear of death, and never losing trust in Jesus Christ.

The entire service was “led” by four different avatars on the screen, two young women, and two young men.

At times, the AI-generated avatar inadvertently drew laughter as when it used platitudes and told the churchgoers with a deadpan expression that in order “to keep our faith, we must pray and go to church regularly.”

Some people enthusiastically videotaped the event with their cellphones, while others looked on more critically and refused to speak along loudly during the Lord’s Prayer.

Heiderose Schmidt, a 54-year-old who works in IT, said she was excited and curious when the service started but found it increasingly off-putting as it went along.

“There was no heart and no soul,” she said. “The avatars showed no emotions at all, had no body language and were talking so fast and monotonously that it was very hard for me to concentrate on what they said.”

“But maybe it is different for the younger generation who grew up with all of this,” Schmidt added.

Marc Jansen, a 31-year-old Lutheran pastor from Troisdorf near the western German city of Cologne, brought a group of teenagers from his congregation to St. Paul. He was more impressed by the experiment.

“I had actually imagined it to be worse. But I was positively surprised how well it worked. Also the language of the AI worked well, even though it was still a bit bumpy at times,” Jansen said.

What the young pastor missed, however, was any kind of emotion or spirituality, which he says is essential when he writes his own sermons.

Anna Puzio, 28, a researcher on the ethics of technology from the University of Twente in the Netherlands, also attended the service. She said she sees a lot of opportunities in the use of AI in religion — such as making religious services more easily available and inclusive for believers who for various reasons may not be able to experience their faith in person with others in houses of worship.

However, she noted there are also dangers when it comes to the use of AI in religion.

“The challenge that I see is that AI is very human-like and that it’s easy to be deceived by it,” she said.

“Also, we don’t have only one Christian opinion, and that’s what AI has to represent as well,” she said. “We have to be careful that it’s not misused for such purposes as to spread only one opinion.”

Simmerlein said it is not his intention to replace religious leaders with artificial intelligence. Rather, he sees the use of AI as a way to help them with their everyday work in their congregations.

Some pastors seek inspiration in literature, he says, so why not also ask AI for ideas regarding an upcoming sermon. Others would like to have more time for individual spiritual guidance of their parishioners, so why not speed up the process of writing the sermon with the help of a chatbot to make time for other important duties.

“Artificial intelligence will increasingly take over our lives, in all its facets,” Simmerlein said. “And that’s why it’s useful to learn to deal with it.”

However, the experimental church service also showed the limits to implementing AI in church, or in religion. There was no real interaction between the believers and the chatbot, which wasn’t able to respond to the laughter or any other reactions by the churchgoers as a human pastor would have been able to do.

“The pastor is in the congregation, she lives with them, she buries the people, she knows them from the beginning,” Simmerlein said. “Artificial intelligence cannot do that. It does not know the congregation.”

Chatbots Don’t Know What Stuff Isn’t
Today’s language models are more sophisticated than ever, but they still struggle with the concept of negation. That’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

Max G. Levy
Quanta Magazine
May 12, 2023

That failure is not an accident. Negations like “not,” “never” and “none” are known as stop words, which are functional rather than descriptive. Compare them to words like “bird” and “rat” that have clear meanings. Stop words, in contrast, don’t add content on their own. Other examples include “a,” “the” and “with.”

“Some models filter out stop words to increase the efficiency,” said Izunna Okpala, a doctoral candidate at the University of Cincinnati who works on perception analysis.]]></description>

‘Film is in my blood’: the secret cinema in the back of a London shop
Ümit Mesut started as a ‘rewind boy’ and now runs a tiny movie theatre in the back room of his store, Ümit & Son, in east London. Is this the UK’s most unlikely film haunt?

Discussing the future of #collaborative #graph thinking.

"I guess one upcoming incentive for #semanticweb  tech could be archiving and note keeping. For those that encounter so much info on feeds this could provide better private and collaborative means to collect stuff: ordering, selecting, describing, developing. I am thinking of the experience of using pinterest, #tumblr, #pinboard  #obsidian, etc. as kind of cross-platform extensions to feeds and online collections."

I was in particular thinking of the pinboards and are.na walls of scholars like @shannonmattern @lozross and @miriamkp, which I see as examples of a scholarly practice of using boards/hashtags to build archives of posts and links.

Open semantic data in this field would mean freeing data from the feeds in more sustainable ways, beyond public bookmarks. #reclaimyourarchive


but most of my bookmarks are private.

I dunno. Sylvia Plath? Ann Sexton? Rachel Cusk? Florida Pier (Scott-Maxwell) ? Diane di Prima?

    <dc:creator>asfaltics</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A Graphic Spy Code. The Literary Digest (February 9, 1918) : 30

Modern art has played into the enemy hands in a way such as the art of the past could never have been guilty. The technique of our modernists has accustomed us to many lines and strokes that to the uninitiated seem at best irrelevant and at worst the attempts of a tyro who fails to say easily what he aims to impart. But the watchful and resourceful German spy finds in them a camouflage for his code-message, and so he sends to Germany by way of Spain information about our defenses in the Caribbean. And it all goes as part of the design of a magazine-covered issued in Porto Rico. The artist and plotter, Werner K. R. W. Sturzel, is safe now at Fort Oglethorpe, where he admits that he is a special intelligence agent of the Imperial German Government assigned to get information to Berlin. The New York <i>Tribune</i> gives a reproduction of the magazine-cover, and says:

"What is believed to be his most ingenious trick to get secret information to Germany via Spain was in the form of a line-and-wash drawing he made for the <i>Puerto Rico Ilustrado</i> in 1917, and which appeared as the cover-design of that periodical in the issue of January 5 of this year. This paper has a large circulation in Spain, and Sturzel was aware that, through no incriminating effort on his part, his cryptic illustration would fall into the proper hands in Barcelona, Valencia, or Cartagena, and eventually reach the German destination.

"Although Sturzel posed as a business man, he was exceedingly versatile, and used his talents to further his espionage activities.

"Painting and drawing were among his accomplishments, and by the aid of his talent he managed to create for the <i>Puerto Rico Ilustrado</i> the head of an Arabian woman, entitled 'Tipo Arabe,' which the Porto-Rican authorities believe literally teems with code letters and hieroglyphs decipherable only in Germany or by Sturzel.

"Persons familiar with the handling of codes and cryptograms have exprest the belief that in his cover-design Sturzel may have revealed important information to the enemy, especially as to American activities and defenses in the Caribbean. This was given particular significance, since it was known that German agents have been active in their efforts to procure a submarine base in Caribbean and West-Indian waters, and that the Kaiser has many sympathizers in Venezuela."

Some personal facts about the fabricator are added:

"Just about the time that the Government agents began to lay their plans to trap Sturzel, Cipriano Castro, the ex-Dictator of Venezuela, ws ordered out of Trinidad by the British Government and immediately returned to Porto Rico, where he had made his home for ten months before the United States declared war on Germany.

"Sturzel was sent to Porto Rico about the time the European War began and was employed by one of the biggest German business houses on the island. He always had an abundance of money and was a liberal spender. It was the belief of the Secret Service agents who were watching him that he was in the pay of Wilhelmstrasse. Sturzel gave the impression always that his parents were wealthy and that it had been their custom to 'give generously to the children far away from home.'"
