Officials across EU countries kicked off the narrative that peace shall not be taken for granted and we might enter the war. Then France’s Macron officially stated French troops may go into Ukraine to fight Russia. Then a leaked conference by German military officers appeared discussing an attack on Russia’s Crimea bridge with German cruise missiles, including training and intelligence. US Secretary of Defense, “If Ukraine falls, I really believe that NATO will be in a fight with Russia“. Israel continues its atrocities against the Palestinians and other wars & preparations still continue. End the wars, avoid a nuclear catastrophe and stop the state sanctioned murder.

Mission Unthinkable?
Reading through the latest inhuman wars and totalitarian government directions in Germany and around the so called western value hemisphere, I can’t eat as much as I have to puke. And that is an understatement and trivialization, my apologies. Continue reading “Mission Unthinkable?”

GraphUI Frustum Culling & Clipping in Modelview Space and more…
Resolving Bug 1487 in our Graph Type Rendering and UI saga, we can map GraphUI’s Group’s AABBox to a 8-point Cube, on which we perform the Modelview (Mv) transformation and then produce the 6-plane Frustum. The Group fully culls outside shapes and performs fragment clipping with same Frustum planes in the shader in case clipping has been enabled.
The more… in the title refers to new GraphUI Widgets used in the demo code.
Updated FontView01 video below with performance issues fixes, see Bug 1488, Bug 1489 and Bug 1490.

Christ in the Rubble: A Liturgy of Lament
2023 Christmas Message by Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac
Dec 23, 2023
This Advent, while global Christians prepare to commemorate the arrival of the Prince of Peace, our Palestinian kin in Gaza suffer unthinkable violence. Their cries for deliverance, echoing those of two millennia ago, seem to be falling unheard in the United States. To see their pain and hear their cries, US Christians must move beyond information to transformation…from webinar to worship. Listen in on the live-streamed worship gathering guided by Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac and his team at Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem on 23 December 2023. Central to this liturgy of lament is the prophetic message that if Jesus was born today, he would be born “under the rubble.” Continue reading “Christ in the Rubble: A Liturgy of Lament”

Tears…
Tears in my heart, seeing the suffering for years over and over. Tears drying up, cracking the souls. Despair, hopelessness – tearing up humanity. People once praising peace & ending wars now campaign to incite more suffering & death. They encourage (if not plan) others to force their people to die on the battlefield. Constitutional laws against warmongering and for human-rights violated. Mass media glorifying violence, calling for revenge and dehumanize. Hatred, where only love could help, if ever desired.
Overwhelmed by the global events, we can only focus on our little life and surroundings. We shall not steal others’ belongings, harm others’ life. We shall not even harm others’ dignity and make for a horrible relationship in the first place. Perhaps time to pause and recapitulate to repair all the deeply broken relationships. Continue reading “Tears…”
