Usefulness in a Post

"An interview is not a dialogue. The whole point of the interview is to get the narrator to tell her story. Limit your own remarks to a few pleasantries to break the ice, then brief questions to guide her along.
Start with questions that are not controversial; save the delicate questions, if there are any, until you have become better acquainted.
Do not challenge accounts you think might be inaccurate. Instead, try to develop as much information as possible that can be used by later researchers in establishing what probably happened.

"Off the record" information is only useful if you yourself are researching a subject and this is the only way you can get the information. It has no value if your purpose is to collect information for later use by other researchers.

Don't use the interview to show off your knowledge, vocabulary, charm, or other abilities. Good interviewers do not shine; only their interviews do. "

wiki : urban legends

An urban legend or urban myth is similar to a modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by those circulating them. The term is often used to mean something akin to an "apocryphal story". Urban legends are not necessarily untrue, but they are often distorted, exaggerated, or sensationalized over time.

Despite the name, a typical urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban setting. The term is simply used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore in preindustrial times.

Innovation Journalism

An invention is something new, it can be done by a single person. Innovation is the introduction of something new, it always involves the interaction between several people. It is the process of creating and delivering new value on a market or in a community. Innovation journalism covers how innovation happens.

Journalism plays a part in connecting innovation with public interests and how innovation processes and innovation ecosystems interact with public attention, with news media as an actor.

Hyperrealism

wiki:

Hyperrealist painters and sculptors use photographic images as a reference source from which to create a more definitive and detailed rendering.

Hyperrealism, although photographic in essence, can often entail a softer and much more complex focus on the subject depicted, presenting it as a living tangible object.

These objects and scenes in Hyperrealism paintings and sculptures are meticulously detailed to create the illusion of a new reality not seen in the original photo.

Hyperrealists create a false reality that is a convincing illusion; one based upon a simulation of reality (the digital photograph).

Hyperrealistic paintings and sculptures confront the viewer with the illusion of manipulated high resolution images though more meticulous.Hyperrealism utilizes digital imagery and expands upon it to create a new sense of reality.They utilize additional, often subtle, pictorial elements to create the illusion of a reality which in fact either does not exist or cannot be seen by the human eye.

Plexuses, Mates

The Great Plexuses of the Sympathetic SystemThe great plexuses of the sympathetic are aggregations of nerves and ganglia, situated in the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities, and named the cardiac, celiac, and hypogastric plexuses. They consist not only of sympathetic fibers derived from the ganglia, but of fibers from the medulla spinalis, which are conveyed through the white rami communicantes. From the plexuses branches are given to the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic viscera.

The Plexus project provides a full software stack for creating and executing software projects. Based on the Plexus container, the applications can utilise component-oriented programming to build modular, reusable components that can easily be assembled and reused.

While Plexus is similar to other inversion-of-control (IoC) or dependency injection frameworks such as the Spring Framework, it is a full-fledged container that supports many more features such as:

  • Component lifecycles
  • Component instantiation strategies
  • Nested containers
  • Component configuration
  • Auto-wiring
  • Component dependencies, and
  • Various dependency injection techniques including constructor injection, setter injection, and private field injection.
Plexus is currently undergoing reconstruction. You will likely experience strange inconsistencies in the behaviour of some areas of the site while we are rebuilding - though they should all work.
