University of Stuttgart Digital Workshop
16–17 December 2021
Confirmed Keynote Address: Dr. James Smithies, Director of King's Digital Lab, King's College London
Research on 'intelligent systems' broadly impacts the everyday lives of citizens worldwide, from self-driving cars, facial recognition, and 'intelligent' robots, to algorithms that create personalized advertisements that influence consumer choice. The societal, political, cultural, and ethical impacts of advances in this field have become matters of concern – and have also shaped literary and cultural production. Especially in recent years, literary texts that explore various aspects of intelligent systems have been thriving: novels such as Ian McEwan's Machines Like Me (2019), Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun (2021), and Mark Wheaton's Emily Eternal (2019) have drawn public interest and have put a new focus on the 'knowledge of literature' in that these narratives not only reflect upon but often also engage in, re-creating (and advancing) intelligent systems on the level of the story world. In effect, literary texts are both shaped by and actively shaping their cultural contexts of production and reception. With regard to the impact of various agents and environments on the design of a narrative – the text properties considered typical for a particular literary genre, as well as the robustness of specific genres due to their ability to adapt to changing requirements across different times and cultures – questions arise to what extent literature (or specific text types) can also be regarded as intelligent systems.
Needless to stress, literature and culture are not machines, and thus cannot be conceptualised as intelligent systems in the narrow sense of the term. Nor are they genuinely autonomous, in that they cannot sense their environments like 'natural intelligent systems,' such as bacteria and cells, are able to, since literary texts require one (or several) agent(s) to come into being. And yet, they share some key features with what has come to be known as intelligent systems: a) literary texts are highly dynamic and adaptive to changing historical and cultural contexts in their ability to productively interacting with complex environments; b) further, they are integrative, since they, in the words of Virginia Woolf, have "devoured so many forms" (1927, 224) and trends, and thereby drive the development of (new) genres; c) in addition, they build up a knowledge base, which helps to distinguish forms or developments of fiction, performance, or lyric within specific genres; and d) they include a certain degree of self-reflexivity, which comes to the fore, for instance, in metafictional elements or language poetry. Acutely aware about and responsive of other cultural, political, social systems, literary texts evolve and adapt to a wide variety of different environments, and have emerged as highly flexible and resilient within and across changing cultural ecologies.
Approaching literary texts as intelligent systems includes several challenges. First, it requires defining 'intelligence' and 'systems' in relation to literature and culture. Steven Pinker's approach on 'intelligence' as "the ability to choose an action that best satisfies conflicting goals" (2019, 300) and the approach to literature as cultural ecology that views literature as "an ecological force within larger systems of cultural discourse" (Zapf 2016, 4) might serve as a starting point in that they integrate aspects of creativity and imagination, and highlight the ability of literary texts to (critically) engage in a wide variety of different discourses of their time (and beyond) and renew themselves within this process. These features, which are at the core of literary production and reception, are abilities frequently associated with 'intelligent systems.' Thus, part of the aim of this workshop is to identify, discuss, and also overcome these challenges to further explore to what extent intelligent systems might serve as a 'travelling concept' (Darbellay 2012, Bal 2002), which can be used to advance interdisciplinary research and exchange, and to foster the circulation of knowledge amongst researchers working in this field. Computer models, as they are developed in the Digital Humanities, for instance, might help capture trends and developments in literary production and/or in the reflective discourse of literary studies. However, how productive such data-oriented modelling approaches may be for our understanding of literature as an 'intelligent system' has not yet been explored. The workshop will offer a forum to discuss these, and further approaches, and to examine what literature knows about 'intelligent systems.'
As an outgrowth of the Stuttgart Research Focus Interchange Forum for Reflecting on Intelligent Systems (SRF IRIS), the overarching goal of this workshop is to explore literature and culture both in relation to intelligent systems and as intelligent systems:
Discussing various representations of intelligent systems in literary texts, we aim to assess the different ways in which literature reflects upon the ethical, cultural, political, and social impacts of recent developments in the field of intelligent or autonomous systems. This will help to explain the key function of literature in unveiling the potentials and limits of intelligent systems.
Examining to what extent literature and culture can be regarded as intelligent systems themselves, i.e., as systems that are flexible, adaptive, integrative, and – to some extent – also self-learning, will enable us to gain a deeper understanding of the concept and assess its role as a travelling concept, which might aid in the circulation of knowledge across disciplines working in this field.
Suggested topics and fields of research include, but are not limited to:
changing representations of intelligent systems/AI in literature
intelligent systems as a travelling concept in literature and culture
genre theory
literary ecology
narrative intelligence
literary crisis detection
creativity & machine learning
speculative futures
ethics & future technologies
literature generators
computational storytelling
algorithmic literary criticism
We welcome 15-minute input papers from scholars of all career stages, backgrounds, disciplines. The workshop will be held online. Please send an abstract of 300-400 words with contact information and a short bio to jessica.bundschuh@ilw.uni-stuttgart.de under the subject line of "intelligent systems" by 29 October 2021.

Abstract: The microscopic origin of the magnetically-driven ferroelectricity in collinear AFM-E orthorhombic manganites is explained by means of first-principles Wannier functions. We show that the polarization is mainly determined by the "asymmetric electron hopping" of orbitally-polarized Mn eg states, implicit in the peculiar in-plane zig-zag spin arrangement in the AFM-E configuration. In ortho-HoMnO3, Wannier function centers are largely displaced with respect to corresponding ionic positions, implying that the final polarization is strongly affected by a purely electronic contribution, at variance with standard ferroelectrics where the ionic-displacement is dominant. However, the final value of the polarization is the result of competing effects, as shown by the opposite signs of the contributions to the polarization coming from the Mn eg and t2g states. Furthermore, a systematic analysis of the link between ferroelectricity and the spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom in the manganite series has been carried out, in the aim of ascertaining chemical trends as a function of the rare-earth ion. Our results show that the Mn-O-Mn angle is the key quantity in determining the exchange coupling: upon decreasing the Mn-O-Mn angle, the first- (second-) nearest neighbor ferromagnetic (antiferromagnetic) interaction decreases (remains constant), in turn stabilizing either the AFM-A or the AFM-E spin configuration for weakly or strongly distorted manganites, respectively. The Mn eg contribution to the polarization dramatically increases with the Mn-O-Mn angle and decreases with the "long" Mn-O bond length, whereas the Mn t2g contribution decreases with the "short" Mn-O bond-length, partially cancelling the former term.


An independent insurance adjustment firm needed changes made to Excel spreadsheets. With updates to simple values, complex formulas, and macros, all in a setting where small mistakes can be costly, the client needed a developer that takes the same time and care with smaller projects as it does with large ones.
Pleasant provided the updating of Excel spreadsheet functionality including the addition of new reports and Macros while also maintaining existing formulas. Demonstrating that the small client is just as important, Pleasant also made sure to provide instructions on some of the more advanced features available which were then adopted into new processes.
We treat small ongoing projects with the same precise, expert care as all projects.

Q: Xcode 13: Headers of Imported Frameworks Inaccessible I am having trouble with Xcode referencing header files from imported frameworks. The strange thing is that everything worked fine yesterday. But now, I cannot even import the same headers I see one line above that do not give me a compiler error.
You can see in the image below that the compiler is fine with "Ironsource/Ironsource.h" but when I'm trying to add it again it doesn't know what it is (but it did yesterday):

It is not a localized problem to one Xcode project, Xcode cannot see header files in any of my projects. Or more precisely, Xcode cannot see any NEW header files I would like to import but has no problem with the ones imported a day before. So, I am guessing it is something with Xcode, but I cannot figure out what went wrong.
Also, it doesn't matter if I try to reference headers in:

*

*.framework

*.xcframework

files.
The frameworks were added manually in the Project Navigator and can be seen properly in Target -> Build Phases -> Link Binary with Libraries.

I am using Xcode 13.3.1. and my project and used frameworks are both pure Objective C. I have both restarted Xcode and my Mac multiple times but they didn't help.
Does anyone have an idea what went wrong?

A: Framework headers are usually imported with angular brackets "<>". If you use quotes the compiler would search in the User header search paths in which case you would need to add the relevant path to User header search paths. Also make sure to make the header public if you use angled brackets.

John Stamos announced his engagement to actress Caitlin McHugh, his girlfriend of two years, on Sunday. The former Full House actor broke the news on Instagram with an illustration of the happy couple at Disneyland.
"I asked. She said yes! And we lived happily ever after," Stamos wrote in the caption. The actor's rep confirmed to People that the proposal took place at the California theme park and also revealed that Stamos put his directing skills to good use while popping the question. The actor made a short film of the sweetest romantic moments from all of McHugh's favorite animated films, and ended the short with a clip from The Little Mermaid. "Just ask the girl" popped up on the screen, prompting Stamos to get down on one knee. McHugh said yes, making Stamos the happiest man on earth at the happiest place on earth.
JOHN STAMOS JUST HELPED THIS MAN POP THE QUESTION
Stamos and McHugh were first linked in March 2016, when Stamos announced the relationship on The View. After going public, Stamos and McHugh were frequently spotted out together and never shied away from talking about each other in interviews. "He's very encouraging of anything I want to do career-wise," McHugh told Entertainment Tonight earlier this year. "I really appreciate it a lot. You don't get that with every guy."
They might be comfortable praising each other, but McHugh has always wanted to keep certain elements of their relationship to themselves. "We like to keep our lives private because we've seen what relationships in the public eye can be like and we just like our privacy," she continued. "We don't want the commentary from the masses about what our relationship is or should be. We're very happy together and we hope to be so for a long time."

A: Podes usar o data-section que já tens no HTML para saber se a opção escolhida é a chabebePara isso podes usar this.options[this.selectedIndex] para saber qual a opção escolhida e .dataset.section para capturar esse data-.
Depois juntas um observador de eventos que registe quando o select muda e dás uma classe de CSS:
.mostrar {
    display: block !important;
}

que force a mostrar essa div que está escondida no HTML (vi que já tens a classe hide).
Um exemplo seria assim:
var selectTemas = document.getElementById('temas');
var divChabebe = document.querySelector('div[data-name="chabebe"]');
selectTemas.addEventListener('change', function () {
    var escolhido = this.options[this.selectedIndex].dataset.section;
    divChabebe.classList[escolhido == 'chabebe' ? 'add' : 'remove']('mostrar');
});

jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5pstkuk0/
E adaptando para ser escalável seria:
var selectTemas = document.getElementById('temas');
var escondidos = ['infantil', 'casamento', 'chabebe'].map(function (dataName) {
    return document.querySelector('div[data-name="' + dataName + '"]')
});
selectTemas.addEventListener('change', function () {
    var escolhido = this.options[this.selectedIndex].dataset.section;
    escondidos.forEach(function (select) {
        select.classList[escolhido == select.dataset.name ? 'add' : 'remove']('mostrar');
    });
});

e no JS só tens de acrescentar/remover aqui ['infantil', 'casamento', 'chabebe'] para a coisa funcionar.
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5pstkuk0/6

A: Se puder usar JQuery, acho que funciona assim:
$('#temas').change(function () {
  if($('#temas option:selected').val() == 'infantil') {
    $('#infantil').show();
  }
});

E colocaria id="infantil", no select e value="infantil" no option.


Insurance coverage is always dependent upon benefit eligibility, as outlined in your specific benefit plan. Some employers have chosen not to cover varicose vein treatment specifically, so be sure and check with your human resources department or call the toll-free number on the back of your insurance card.
For the most part, as long as your situation meets Blue Cross Blue Shield's definition of "medical necessity," then your treatment will be covered and paid according to your plan benefits. BCBS provides contracted providers with a comprehensive 17-page report that explains how a patient meets criteria. The measures and conditions they require are very straightforward. During your examination, duplex ultrasound, and consultation with Dr. Jilanne Rose, she will be able to determine if you meet the standards for BCBS insurance coverage.
If you have not sought treatment before and your symptoms do not significantly interfere with your activities of daily living, Jilanne will most likely recommend conservative treatment for at least 3 months, to see if your symptoms improve without the need for more invasive options. If you are like most of our patients, you've been suffering for many months or years and have had numerous rounds of conservative treatment…to no avail. In this case, it's very likely you will meet the treatment criteria at your initial visit and we can proceed with RFA, EVLT, and/or sclerotherapy immediately.
Our staff including Michella, Beth, or Lucy will call BCBS of Arizona and request "prior authorization" as well as obtain benefits. This way you know how much you will owe before any treatment is done and you can be assured the insurance has "authorized" the treatment as well. It is our goal to make sure the insurance companies provide the level of benefit coverage that you and/or your employer pay for on a monthly basis, as well as make a painless of a process for you. You can also contact our office to discuss varicose veins treatment costs if your insurance will not cover EVLT, RFA, ClariVein, or VenaSeal.
To find out if you are at risk for CVI, or any other venous disease of the lower limb, download and fill out this assessment.
Want to speak with someone right away? It's really easy to talk to Dr. Jilanne Rose. Just call the office or fill out this form to get a conversation started about your symptoms and whether vein treatment may be needed.

("Novalis" is also a: user.)
(person) by Mertseger Thu May 25 2000 at 21:16:48
Novalis, a legendary Romantic poet and philospher. "Novalis" means "one who opens up new lands", and was the pen name of one Friedrich von Hardenberg as well as the name of a German prog rock band of the Seventies. Von Hardenberg was born in 1772 and was an active member of the German philosophical community of his time. As a protest against the long, discursive polemics that constituted traditional philosophy, Novalis followed the style of his cohort of German Romantic philosophers by writing "fragments": short, largely self-contained thoughts.
I was introduce to Novalis the band by a naked, green fairy on the cover of one of their albums, "Summerauben", when I was in highschool, and so when I saw the name when I was looking for some Nietzsche at a bookstore, I just had to open the book. The following quotes are from Novalis: Philosophical Writings translated and edited by Margaret Mahony Stoljar:
50. Every beloved object is the center of a paradise.
100. The wisdom of story telling contains the history of the archetypal world - it embraces times past present and future. The human world is the common instrument of the gods. Poetry unites them as it does us.
- From Miscellaneous Observations
30. Writing poetry is creating. Each work of literature must be a living individual. What an inexhaustible amount of materials for new individual combinations is lying about! Anyone who has once guessed this secret - needs nothing more than to decide to renounce endless variety and the mere enjoyment of it and to start somewhere - but this decision is at the expense of the free feeling of an infinite world - and demands restriction to a single appearance of it. Ought we perhaps to attribute our earthly existence to a similar decision?
I can't tell you how much my souls resonate to that thought.
40. Poetry dissolves the being of others in its own.
47. In the ancient world religion already was to a certain extent what it will be for us - practical poetry.
69. Magic is the art of using the world of the senses at will.
70. We have two sense systems which, however different they appear, are yet entwined extremely closely with one another. One system is called the body, one the soul. The former is dependent on extgernal stimuli, whose essence we call nature or the external world. The latter originally is dependent in the essence of inner stimuli that we call spirit, or the world of spirits. Usually this last system stands in a nexus of association with the other system - and is affected by it. Nevertheless frequent traces of a converse relation are to be found, and one soon notices that both systems ought actually to stand in a perfect reciprocal relation to one another, in which, while each of them is affected by its world, they should create harmony, not a monotone. In short, both worlds, like both systems, are to create free harmony, not disharmony or monotony. The transition from monotony to harmony certainly will pass through disharmony - and only in the end will harmony ensue. In the age of magic the body serves the soul or the world of spirits. Madness - enthusiasm. Communal madness ceases to be madness and becomes magic. Madness governed by rules and in full consciousness. All arts and sciences rest on partial harmonies. Poets, madmen, saints, prophets.
71. We shall understand the world when we understand ourselves, because we and it are integral halves, We are God's children, divine seeds. One day we shall be what our Father is.
87. To become a human being is an art.
90. The perfect person should be a beautiful satire, capable of giving anything any desired form, of filling each form with the most diverse life and moving it.
92. Everything must become food. The art of drawing life out of everthing. To vivify everthing is the goal of life. Pleasure is life. The absence of pleasure is a way to pleasure, as death is a way to life.
100. Everything is seed.
- From Logological Fragments I
3. It is only because of the weakness of our organs and of our contact with ourselves that we do not discover ourselves to be in a fairy world. All fairy tales are only dreams of that familiar world of home which is everywhere and nowhere. The higher powers in us, which one day will carry out our will like genies, are now muses that refresh us with sweet memories along this arduous path."
7. Every spiritual touch is like the touch of a magic wand. Everything can become the tool of magic. But whoever thinks the effects of such touch are so fabulous, whoever finds the effects of a magic spell so marvelous, need only remind himself of the first touch of his beloved's hand, her first meaningful glance, where the magic wand is the detached beam of light, the first kiss, the first word of love, and ask himself whether the spell and magic of these moments is not also fabulous and wondrous, indissoluble and eternal?
-From Logological Fragments II
Novalis died at the age of 29.
(person) by Gritchka Sun Feb 18 2001 at 13:31:04
Georg Philipp Friedrich, Freiherr von Hardenberg, was born in Schloß Oberwiederstedt in Prussian Saxony on 2 May 1772. The name Novalis came from an old family name de Novali. He stressed it on the first syllable. You see other variants of his forenames: the ones I give are the ones used by the International Novalis Society.
He studied law at Jena in 1790-1 and at Wittenberg in 1793. Later he studied mining at Freiberg and worked as an auditor and assessor in a salt works at Weißenfels near Leipzig.
In March 1795 he met and loved the beautiful Sophie von Kühn, and her death from consumption on 19 March 1797, two days after her fifteenth birthday, deeply affected him. To her he dedicated his finest poetic work, the Hymnen an die Nacht (Hymns to the Night). This was published in 1800 in Athenaeum, a literary magazine edited by August Wilhelm Schlegel and Friedrich Schlegel.
He became engaged to Julie von Charpentier in 1798. He himself died of consumption in Weißenfels on 25 March 1801. (His bicentenary is being celebrated in Germany next month.)
Other works by Novalis are the incomplete novels Heinrich von Ofterdingen and Die Lehringe zu Sais. His work was very influential in the nineteenth century: on Heine, De Quincey, Nietzsche, George MacDonald, Swinburne, Rilke among others.
Hymnen an die Nacht is seventeen pages long, in six sections, mainly prose-poem with some verse. He begins by saying how everyone loves the light; then he turns away to the night: Abwärts wend ich mich zu der heiligen, unaussprechlichen, geheimnisvollen Nacht. Fernab liegt die Welt -- in eine tiefe Gruft versenkt -- wüst und einsam ist ihre Stelle. "Away I turn to the holy, inexpressible, mysterious Night. Faraway lies the world -- sunk in a deep tomb -- waste and lonely is its place."
In the third section he recalls when all his hope was lost in tears, light fled, and Night brought him dream: Zur Staubwolke wurde der Hügel -- durch die Wolke sah ich die verklärten Züge der Geliebten. In ihren Augen ruhte die Ewigkeit -- ich faßte ihre Hände, und die Tränen wurden ein funkelndes, unzerreißliches Band. "The hill turned to a cloud of dust -- through the cloud I saw the radiant features of my Beloved. In her eyes rested eternity -- I grasped her hands, and my tears became a glittering, untearable bond."
The poem Hinüber wall ich from the fourth section was set as the song Nachthymne by Schubert.
Novalis's birthplace at Oberwiederstedt now houses the International Novalis Society, the Novalis Museum, and the Early Romantic Research Institute: see www.uni-leipzig.de/~angl/novalis/.

Novalis, Archangel of Flowers
A character in Steve Jackson Games' adaptation of In Nomine. In Nomine is a Role-Playing Game in which players are soldiers in the war between Heaven and Hell. Much attention has been paid by the studio to create facinating Superiors, the Archangels and Demon Princes that give the player their agendas. Each Superior embodies a single concept and uses his or her minions to further that concept in the world. This sets the entire tone of the game, be it comedy, conflict, or compassion.
Novalis' word is Flowers, a concept she has neatly expanded to warrant Archangel status. As the Archangel of Flowers, she is responsible for romance, kindness, compassion, healing, and of course, gardening. By looping all these bright, hopefull ideals into one Word, she has developed a very interesting agenda.
Players serving Novalis must accept her restrictions on their behavior; in addition to whatever Divine rules they already play by, they cannot kill a human, for any reason. This makes this Archangel a 'gimme' for PCs of the Mercurian choir, as they already have that limitation.
As with all the Archangels, Novalis grants special abilities to angels in her service, based on the Choir. These include an aura of peace that calms the violent, the ability to take another's wounds upon oneself, and the ability to dissapear into a plant and reappear from another.
Novalis and her angels are the nicest group in the game, and would be Humanity's best hope, if it wasn't for the constant interference of the demons. Excellent choice in any game that is not combat-intensive.
