The Tesseract – a 4-dimensional cube

Hypercube is a multidimensional analogue of a 3-dimensional cube in that each coordinate of a point in a hypercube is restricted to the same 1-dimensional (line) segment. Tesseract is a 4-dimensional hypercube. In anticipation of MAM 2000, a remark by A. K. Dewdney served an additional reason to write about the tesseract. Wrote he, “Dimensions seem to creep up in everywhere as HYPERCUBE is written.” Dewdney was referring to matrices (2-dimensional objects) and vectors (1-dimensional objects) that are part of any modern computer language. They are also handy in describing and manipulating multidimensional objects. It’s a tribute to these mathematical notations that they make a CUBE variant of the program virtually indistinguishable from its HYPERCUBE analogue

Overview of Loving-kindness Meditation

Loving-kindness is a meditation practice, which brings about positive attitudinal changes as it systematically develops the quality of ‘loving-acceptance’. It acts, as it were, as a form of self-psychotherapy, a way of healing the troubled mind to free it from its pain and confusion. Of all Buddhist meditations, loving-kindness has the immediate benefit of sweetening and changing old habituated negative patterns of mind.

You must know who these women are. You may know the name of the man that killed them 13 years ago. But on this day of remeberance, as the federal government is up to it’s eye balls in mush over how badly it has mismanaged the gun control process, we should remember these women.
