The source of the image  you see was made with computer programs but it took 42 hours of touchups to get the source of the image you see to the image you see. Human art is still needed.

Chocolate Cage

You take a balloon, if you have skill form it into a shape. 
Then melt chocolate. Your preference as chocolate comes in many forms. But I think you can even melt simple hershey bars. 
Then put the melted chocolate in a funnel , wait for the chocolate to be in a melting state like syrup or honey, not a liquid state. 
then open the funnel's spout and spread the chocolate in a pattern about the balloon
Then wait for the chocolate to cool. 
then once cool, pop the balloon and a chocolate cage:)
 and you can add things to the chocolate like nuts or other things for different flavors.

A new World Wide Web is needed?

_{I asked the following question}

What function if any at all will DSNP have with EPUB? I comprehend that DSNP is a protocol, a rule set , and epub is a file format, a structure for data, a duplicatable structure for data. so Epub is a an object above the application layer while DSNP is designed to be a replacement for at least the application layer protocols and , I guess, at most the internet layer of protocols.
But I ponder can dsnp be accessed in an epub. I know an epub can utilize application layer protocols to connect to the larger internet and utilize data.
Is it possible for DSNP to be utilized through an epub, conceptually at least?
I admit in my mind I figure DSNP with its individual markers may not be usable through an epub as an epub has duplicate structure.
But I want to pick the brains of any project liberty developers who see this

Chel
Here is a depiction of the character Chel from Road to El dorado by coolbeaniebabez 

I am just seeing early concept art of Chel, the character in Road to El Dorado from Dreamworks. The tragedy of assessing art that involves multiculturalism is you can not serve two masters. 
When you look at Native or Indigenous art from the commonly called in modernity American continent, you see that women plus men are depicted spare of heavy clothes, reflecting a common sense approach to fashion in the very humid/hot climated from modern day mexico to modern day northern peru or chile. 

Original Chel concept

Chel in either form isn't a grand fashion distance from what an indigenous woman living in mesoamerica where cortez landed will wear. Chel will look farthest from history  wearing a hooping skirt. 
I think taking out the steamy sex scenes was good simply because too often females not white european are always deemed desiring the white european male in film, de facto. But, I do think an argument can be had to needing welcoming lust from a short/wide hipped woman in general , definitely a woman not white european. I can't recall a female animated character who is short/wide hipped being embraced as an object of beauty. The problem is, you can't do both.
Jessica Rabbit is a singer in a lounge who has one purpose, to entertain the guests, human or toon, while all male, with the fantasy of her wanting them in song and audience play. Jessica Rabbit isn't sleeping around, and she is trying to save her husband with various other activities. Chel wasn't given as well as scenario as JEssica Rabbit but the way Chel looks allowed her to , if given a story chance, a similar role, which i think would had served the intention of showcasing an uncommon female character as an object of desire. 

"...Initially there were some steamy love scenes and saucy outfits designed for Chel, the love interest in the movie voiced by Rosie Perez. ...In addition to mellowing out the romantic scenes, the animators redesigned the clothing worn by Chel. The movie now has a PG rating....Meanwhile, some in the Latino community who have seen the film have objected to the curvaceous outline of Chel, saying she is yet another example of the “hot and spicy” native....Meanwhile, some in the Latino community who have seen the film have objected to the curvaceous outline of Chel, saying she is yet another example of the “hot and spicy” native."

Mandala Sphere

On deviantart in celebration of Holi, a mandala contest happened. But in my mind I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I connect the imagery of mandala which means circle, Holi, which is a festival of colors, with Equirectangular art. I admit I had another more intricate concept drawn but I used the latter concept of four mandalas cause I felt it represented the cyclical nature better. I already admit, when I do this again sometime in the future,  I will change the background each mandala to be a different place.  respecting the two hemisphere concept.

Questions to writing and things written

I asked the following questions

• Z) To the growing populace in humanity who do not read books and by extension, don't read much, are video learners, what is the financial opportunity for the writer?
•  5) The holodeck in star trek the next generation was technologically possible in Star Trek the original series while the culture of the federation in said original series opposed the purpose of the holodeck, thus no holodeck in the original series [barring special effects limits or capabilities in the 1960s]?
• #) Does literature need its own protocol, like HTTP? 

What are your answers? I give details to the questions origins at the following

https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10874-a-question-and-questions-and-a-question/

What book do you propose for a questionable literary summary?

_{Questionable defined as  "how on earth did this published", "why are people reading this", "what decisions even made someone think this was a good idea", etc.} 

It took me a while to think, it was in the back of my mind, but I have a book, I want to roast that I have never read. I admit, it makes perfect sense to me how it got published, why people read it, or the decisions that made it a good idea. My reason for the roasting is the following book claims to be ancient when it is not and that lie to me, warrants the roasting. 
I admit I myself have written a similar work, but with one key difference, I didn't suggest my book is ancient. My book which is in the same genre as the following book is admittedly modern. It is interpretation. 
The book I wish to roast is
is drumroll!!!.... 
The Book of Mormon
This book was written in 1830 and is suggested to be ancient text transcribed into english. That is a lie. And while there are many books I don't care for I don't think they warrant the kindling, but this. 100% for me. 
https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1029005156/5121377453

_{why I found this question difficult}
ahhh well, I have submit a blank page:) 
In my writing journey I try to comprehend the positive in every book. 
I can easily admit, I have negative views toward a number of books: uncle tom's cabin,  imitation of life ,  king james bible , chandler harris's the tales of brer rabbit , and twilight :) is included in the list but I can't bring myself to roast. 

https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1029005156/5121375176

_{what financially successful terrible writing may say?}
well someone say's terrible writing concerning at least  50 shades of grey ,  it is very profitable so it conveys something about the modern readership.  Maybe the modern readership is willing to pay for content that would get a failing grade through scholarly review , this even connects to   computer generated art from human prompts. Maybe the modern audience at least in the anglophone is becoming less judgmental and more willing to extrapolate from words what they want to see or accept blemish in images that convey most of what they want to see? I can be totally wrong of course.

Akira Toriyama Thoughts

I recall being in school and i loved to draw, but I was raised in a different artistic heritage so i was surrounded by friends who drew, fellow child black artists, and  they all drew dragon ball. I was talking about tintin and sunman. totally alien to them. So, Toriyama's cartoon was a gateway into the arts for many black artists in my offline life. 

 I have never drawn anything dragonball related. Seen it for years , like some of the toons. 
To toriyama, he is fortunate, it is the most fortunate artists who gets to make a work that inspires so many strangers while making one generational wealth to loving ones once their spirit flies.

_{the ever ongoing dialog war in art communities concerning computer simulated art through human impetus}

_{some thoughts}
part of this is financial right? I think all of us are being short in not mentioning how much money has been earned and the truth about what it means. as i said elsewhere, artist can tell when the market has changed and regardless of how the law goes, the market has changed. With these tools, the average person will not be interested in getting a human artists because for no money they can get a computer to make a satisfactory simulation or better. The reason fewer people played instruments in humanity was recorded music devices. Did recording music devices tell humans to stop? no. but once humans realized the musicman job at theaters/pubs/community events was leaving thus the money to do the art was leaving they didn't continue performing for free nor did latter generations have the inspiration of so many musicians to pick up and start using instruments. so, this is the reality. The future will have more artists, yes for those who read this far artists, who speak to a computer and get results. Yes. And this is coming from a undisputed traditional artists, look at my gallery if you have doubts. So, the future is here. In 50 years in the usa. most artists will create through said means. But traditional art will not die, i imagine people will pay for traditional artists to create traditionally. Traditional art has markets but they will get tighter. And for me, while I wish I made 12,000 on deviantart in 2023 with my poetry or calligraphy , i am not bitter nor scared. I will keep creating as long as i can, even if few to none want to buy.

I want to say, AI art is very popular everywhere, those people I know offline who are artists who use it prove it to me. AI art is here. But I Think you are correct. People miss the amount of touch up work with synthography that goes on though I add as a logician, at some point, the computer will not make as many mistakes. The star trek holodeck is the goal and i know it is achievable. It doesn't mean I can not whittle wood in my spare time 
https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1032405910/5123377063

I will speak as a traditional artist, check my gallery if you think I am lying.
I know synthographers or what I like to call magic paintbrush users and I accept it 100%. . 
Will people become accustomed to using prompts like star trek on the holodeck with that volumetric display? yes. 
Will this mean less fiscal opportunity for traditional artist? yes

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

stage vs spare vs real

Stage fighting or performance fighting is one thing/ dueling with protection and rules is one thing so called real life fencing/ but the third is sword fighting in lethal situations. The problem with modernity is the lack of comprehension  that sword or spear or club or non projectile weapon fighting was a standard part of war, a standard operation on the field. the gun is the standard field weapon today but when the non projectile weapon was the standard that created another class altogether. In the past on a battlefield one may not have all the armor, may be sick, may have an injury, has no rules , these elements in my view, make the discussion of theatrical fighting versus what I will call weapons sparring limited. Compared to true non projectile weapons combat, theatrical fighting or weapons sparring are lacking. Duelling is about violence. I think sparring isn't about violence. Sparring is about athletic skill or achievement or nonviolent learning. Theatrical swordplay is about entertaining. One of the speakers mentioned the film "the duelist" but the same director made a film called "the last duel", and in it, it showed the duelling of war. In the film the duellist you have the dueling that led to many european fantasies, the closest thing to duelling in war in peace. But the purest duelling is violent, messy, tricky, really warlike.

Princess Candace new year celebration

Princess Candace is working on her statue outside the city of  Nemito [some call four rivers] for the four rivers that sector the land. Others call this place Yawakati [for the four districts in different technological times]. She won the right to build her statue on the bay of the city through her success in a gatlopp. It is new years and the city is celebrating but she is busy enjoying herself with her winnings.

Do you know Dredd?

I am a huge fan of the film Dredd starring as the top bill, Karl Urban

It's financial utilization, and its approach to a science fiction story that is quite entailed or historied into a one and done movie, i argue need to be commended.

and while we are at it, a look at the film, Underworld

Danse Macabre from Camille Saint-Saëns

Danse Macabre (first performed in 1875) is the name of opus 40 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

The composition is based upon a poem by Henri Cazalis, on an old French superstition:

    Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence,
    Striking with his heel a tomb,
    Death at midnight plays a dance-tune,
    Zig, zig, zig, on his violin.
    The winter wind blows and the night is dark;
    Moans are heard in the linden trees.
    Through the gloom, white skeletons pass,
    Running and leaping in their shrouds.
    Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking,
    The bones of the dancers are heard to crack—
    But hist! of a sudden they quit the round,
    They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.

They have classes for autistic children to make comics and more. 

Thank Tony Todd, the thespian for sharing the organization.
