Flatland: An Adventure in Many Dimensions, a 2024 translation into casual English, is done!

You can read and download it completely 100% for free on the Internet Archive!

When it's done loading, you will be able to read it directly online, and the Internet Archive will automatically generate audiobook versions with text to speech.

You can also download and torrent various versions as PDFs, epubs, and editable documents so you can change the font, paragraph styles, and do anything else you want with it, like give everyone neopronouns or turn them into unicorns!

I will also be making my own audiobook version at some point. but that's gonna take a while since this is around 38,000 words long. You can make your own too! And you can translate this into other languages!

Edit: The "lazy" (unedited) audiobook is now available on youtube! It is in two videos, since my computer wouldn't let me combine them lol.

“https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpFcEwm88RUsMYmhY6DBYZcIvvKv6_ZS3”

Did I mention this is public domain? Because I hate capitalism and I'm poor and I want other people to also be able to enjoy books for free.

Buy the cheapest possible print version for $7.45 (I get $2).

This version is a paperback with no illustrations, no prefaces, a greyscale cover to make it as cheap to print as possible, so that more people can afford to buy it.

Buy the regular print version for $22.17 (I get $5).

This version is a hardpack with illustrations, the preface from the original author, and one from me.

You can also download all the HD illustrations included in this story here on the Internet Archive.

If you enjoy reading it, you can also donate directly to "TinyelFlatland" on paypal!

And if I haven't made it clear yet, this is Public Domain. You are 1million% encouraged to download it, print it, share it, do literally anything you want with it. I am 100% serious.

Now you can all join me in laughing at the narrator :)

Edit: oh wait lol. I realize I wrote this post assuming only people who already know what Flatland is will see it.

Uh so people who have no clue what Flatland is, here's a quick summary:

The narrator, who hides his identity using the alias "A. Square", is a resident of a world called Flatland, a world that only exists in two dimensions, where every person is a flat geometric shape. A. Square tells us the history and culture of his world, which is rife with bigotry that he buys into without question. Until New Year's Eve, before the first day of the year 2000, when a mysterious stranger claiming to come from the third dimension appears in his living room, and starts saying things that sound absurd, and performing what seem like magic tricks.

The original Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, was published in 1884 by Edwin Abbot Abbot. It is both a scathing political satire criticizing the systems of bigotry in Victorian England, and an entertaining introduction to the concept of more than three dimensions.

Edit: Now there's an itch.io page too!

Edit again: And you can read it here on tumblr now! @flatland-a-2024-translation and on Pillowfort!

TAG Transcripts | Masterpost

So, I'm making a start on organising all of my previous content and I'm starting with Transcripts!

And the reason I'm starting with these is because when I came back and was able to look at messages etc (as opposed to the late night reading I made fanfics) there were a lot asking about these with quite a few questions - so firstly, Q & A;

Where can the transcripts be found? They can now be found on this masterpost, but also back on my 2016 post!

Are all the episodes available? Series 1 is complete, Series 2 is mostly complete, Series 3 is unstarted

Will I finish them? Yes, if there is this level of interest of course I will, but episodes can take a while to transcribe so it may not be a quick process!

Do I make a profit? No. This is something I started doing as a fan, for fans as someone who's previously found issues with subtitles not appearing or being incorrect.

Can I download a copy? Yes, from my mediafire links in word or PDF format

Why can't the documents be edited, copy & pasted? The documents are password protected, yes, because a lot of work goes into them and if they're going to be re-distributed I would appreciate the credit or an update of where they're being shared, so no they cannot be directly copied and pasted

Feel free to reblog and share though, Thunderfam, as these were made for you to enjoy!

And before there are questions as to where the link can be found on this masterpost, let's put that here!

Above is the link for the TAG transcripts (I have TOS completed but will post this separately).

What can be found here at the moment:

Series 1

in Word & PDF format

25 files per folder

All episodes completed - Ring of Fire is in one combined set

Series 2

in Word & PDF format

Available episodes - 17; Earthbreaker (1) City Under the Sea (4) Colony (5) Up from the Depths I (6) - will be added shortly (amending pieces) Up from the Depths II (7) Volcano (14) Power Play (15) Bolt from the Blue (16) Attack of the Reptiles (17) Grandma Tourismo (18) Clean Sweap (19) The Man from TB5 (20) Home on the Ranch (21) Long Haul (22) Rigged for Disaster (23) Inferno (24) Hyerspeed (25) Brains vs Brawn (26)

I will aim to finish the episodes outstanding here and then start on Series 3, but this will be amongst all my other work but I will do my best to get there!

Okay, I think this is the part of the post where you can cheer for joy :)

Article Summary

Abstract

Hypermobility, joint hypermobility syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes

Joint hypermobility (JH) is a range of movement in a joint that exceeds what is normal (accounting for the age, gender, and ethnicity). JH can be localised or generalised with GJH being defined by a score of at least 5 on the Beighton scale.

JH has a strong genetic basis and is affected by gender, age, and ethnicity but can also be affected by environmental factors including weight, training, trauma, surgery, and medical conditions.

JH does not necessarily lead to symptoms and is not a disease or permanent diagnosis

The history and historical classifications related to GJH are detailed and the overlap with connective tissue disorders including Marfan syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, and notably Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS)

EDS is a group of disorders that mainly affect the soft connective tissues but that are varied in their genetic and phenotypic (observable characteristics) presentations. Major characteristics include skin hyperextensibility and fragility; vascular fragility with easy bruisability and a variable bleeding tendency; joint hypermobility (usually generalised) and manifestations of generalised connective tissue fragility. The severity of symptoms can be varied.

There are now 13 EDS subtypes (expanded from the 6 originally identified in 1997) with molecular defects identified in 19 different genes. The effects are briefly discussed and Table III details these defects.

One of the most prevalent subtypes of EDS, hypermobile EDS (hEDS), is still molecularly unexplained. hEDS shows considerable overlap with JHS and it has been considered that they may be the same and/or can be used interchangeably. Hypermobility syndrome and JHS have therefore been combined into the single HSD diagnosis to be used for patients with symptomatic JH who do not meet the new criteria for hEDS or another form of EDS. This review uses JHS instead of HSD as it is a review of old literature (consider them interchangeable).

The natural history of pain in JHS and EDS

The compromised structural integrity of connective tissues, people with EDS and JHS are prone to joint instability, and as a result, joint disclocations (full displacements and subluxations), and articular and soft tissue injuries. This commonly causes acute and reccurent pain which can evolve to chronic widespread musculoskeletal (MSK) pain.

Approximately 3.3% of women and 0.6% of men experience chronic pain but these numbers are likely an underestimation since clinicians are generally unaware of GJH-related pain. More recent studies have found incidences of chronic pain over 90% in hEDS patients -- higher than that in cEDS. Clinicians report that pain is the primary reason fro seeking medical help and the most frequent complaint but more studies are needed.

Most studies focus on hEDS and many do not distinguish between hEDS and JHS.

Pain usually starts in early life and is often triggered by an apparent external factor such as an injury, surgery, psychological distress, or by a comorbidity. The pain is initially felt as an acute and localised symptom or as 'growing pains' related to the trauma. Muscle cramps, pariarticular inflammation, enthesopathies, and nerve entrapment syndromes can add to the localised MSK pain.

The pain later becomes widespread, most commonly presenting as arthralgias and myalgias (joint and muscle pains) in young adult and adult patients. The pain is most frequently localised in the neck, shoulders, forearms, fingers, hips, knees, and feet and may, at first, be localised to a few joints or muscles with a migratory pattern. The pain will gradually become more widespread and additional symptoms including burning sensations, peripheral paresthesias, generalised hyperalgesia, allodynia, and hypersensitivity to various stimuli (e.g., light, sound, and odors) become apparent. Pain in non-articular regions (e.g., headaches, gastro-intestinal, pelvic) as well as fatigue often appear. The underlying cause of the fatigue is unclear.

The pain is generally resistant to the use of analgesics (painkillers), surgery, and physical therapy. This can have a negative effect on physical, social, and emotional wellbeing.

The pathogenesis of pain in hypermobility and EDS

The underlying causes and mechanisms of pain in JHS and EDS are poorly understood.

Pain caused by an injury or damage (nociceptive pain) is often present, especially in early stages and neuropathic pain may also contribute to the pain (and account for parasthesias) and be exacerbated by dislocations and subluxations. Central sensitisation may also contribute to the pain becoming chronic.

It has been proposed that lack of proprioceptive acuity (ability to sense joint position and movement) and muscle weakness play a role in generating chronic pain. The fear of pain is common in people with JHS and hEDS and can cause deconditioning and exercise intolerance which leads to a cycle.

It is hypothesised that abnormalities in the extracellular matrix (ECM) can contribute to the generation and chronification of pain. The ECM has a clear role in the general detection of noxious stimuli (nociception) and painful injuries have been shown to alter the the ECM at acute and chronic time points after the injury. The ECM also has a role in neuroplasticity and connectivity of the central nervous system.

Patients with EDS have defects in different components of the ECM which can lead to a devastating impact on the nervous system. Defective connective tissue can also inhibits the body's ability to react protectively to stretching or pressure of peripheral nerves.

The abnormal ECM may contribute to the central sensitisation that causes the chronification of pain.

The complex nature of pain in JHS and EDS patients, fragmented understanding of the underlying mechanisms, and lack of reported effectiveness of treatments highlight the fact that the management of pain in JHS and EDS patients.

Management requires pharmacological and psychological therapy.

The Battle of the Note-taking Apps - Who Will Come Out Victorious?

Review article by Mariz Lorraine | Edited 27 September 2023

Has the wave of digital notes have officially engulfed you and now you are stranded in the middle of a sea of note-taking apps? You convince yourself to do some research but take 2 scrolls on any social media app and you will then be recommended to choose either the free and Microsoft-based OneNote or the holy grail Goodnotes 5. As a loyal Goodnotes 5 user (buyer, let’s be frank) for 1 year now, I have some tea to spill about this blue app.

Key features

I, like many others, move to digital notes for a plethora of reasons, however nothing ever beats the feel of writing with pen and paper. Goodnotes 5 offers 4 types of pen styles that users can easily change with one tap of a button: Fountain pen, ball pen, brush pen, and highlighter.  Organizing notebooks and pages in Goodnotes 5 can also be done easily with folders and page outlines so that your math notes are easily distinguishable from your english notes. Notability, Goodnotes 5’s main competitor, on the other hand, has a revolutionary feature called “study tape” that allows you to cover certain key terms on your notes that can be opened with a tap so that you can easily revise them. Truthfully, you can do this in Goodnotes 5 with a highlighter and the eraser but it is not as convenient as Notability’s study tape. 

User-friendly

Just like most iOS apps, Goodnotes 5 is renowned for its user-friendliness. The easy-on-the-eye user interface combined with the easily tapped “New Notebook” or “Trash” buttons make the app superior to Microsoft OneNote’s hidden side tabs and dimmed pen options. Goodnotes 5 also offers tutorials and guides on how to maneuver the app when you just download it. 

Customizability

Despite being as plain as a sheet of paper when it comes to user interface, Goodnotes 5 is completely customizable when it comes to note-taking. A new notebook’s cover can be changed either by choosing between pre-made notebook covers or by uploading your own covers. For decoration aficionados, Goodnotes 5 allows you to import sticker packs and custom page templates. I utilize these stickers to avoid drawing benzene structures in chemistry and to add cute characters around my boring calculus notes. Yet Goodnotes 5’s customizability is still inferior to its younger sibling, Goodnotes 6. Goodnotes 6 offers full customizability of folder icons and colors on top of the customizability offerings of Goodnotes 5. However, if the default blue folder icon is fine for you, Goodnotes 5 is still the better option. 

Price

Unlimited access to Goodnotes 5 is priced at Rp.169,000 as a one-time cost for users. However, limited access to the app is free for all but users can only make up to 3 notebooks. Unlike Notability which is a subscription-based payment of Rp 89,000 monthly, Goodnotes 5’s one-time payment is better for users that want to test the waters first. 

Importing files

My personal favorite feature offered by Goodnotes 5 is the importing PDFs feature as it allows me to easily annotate my digital coursebooks and do past papers. Importing PDFs and annotating them in Goodnotes 5 is not just eco-friendly since you won’t have to print pages and pages of paper, but it is also much more convenient since you can easily erase, highlight, and move elements around. 

Exporting files

If you can share paper notes with your friends, you definitely can do so with digital notes as well. Users can easily share their notebooks to other Goodnotes 5 users to make it collaborative by sending them a short URL link or by sending an invitation to their email. But how about non-Goodnotes 5 users? Unfortunately you cannot have collaborative notebooks with non-Goodnotes 5 users but you can share PDF or JPEG versions through emails or messages. If you are like me and you are afraid of suddenly losing your files, Goodnotes 5 reassures us with the option to automatically backup your files to your preferred cloud between Google Drive, OneDrive and iCloud. 

Technological advancements

Shifting to digital notes is a sign that the world is becoming more tech-reliant and softwares like Goodnotes 5 have to keep on advancing to follow the status quo. Optical Character Recognition (or more known as OCR) was added to Goodnotes 5 in 2019, allowing people’s messy handwriting to be identifiable by the app when you look for a certain term. As recent as January of this year, Goodnotes 5 added the voice recording feature so you can easily take notes as well as record your teacher’s voice to listen back to when revising. This feature is shared by both Notability and Goodnotes 5 however OCR is a Goodnotes 5 exclusive, so if you are looking for the app with the nerdiest feature out there, Goodnotes 5 is for you. 

Conclusion

If you are confused about which note-taking app to use and are just looking for something easy-to-use and simple, Goodnotes 5 is definitely the best option for you. Its many pen types, countless premade page templates, unlimited storage, and the ability to import and annotate PDFs are the key points for beginners in the digital note space. Its similarity to physical note-taking with the many pen types and page sizes also make the shift from pen-and-paper notes to screen-and-stylus notes a lot easier.

Fire Damaged Property

Sell Your Fire Damaged Property: Why Cash Buyers Are the Key to a Fast Sale!

Selling a fire damaged property can be daunting; finding a buyer willing to take on a property in less-than-perfect condition, combined with the stress of repairs and insurance claims, can overwhelm the process. Fortunately, cash buyers offer a straightforward solution to these issues.

In this blog, we'll explore why cash buyers are the key to quickly selling your fire-damaged property and how they can help you move forward swiftly and stress-free.

1. Immediate Offers Without the Hassle

One of the biggest advantages of selling to cash buyers is their ability to provide immediate offers. Unlike traditional buyers, who the damage might deter, cash buyers specialize in purchasing properties "as-is."

This means there's no need for costly repairs, cleanup, or staging to attract interest.

They assess the property's value based on its current condition and make a fair cash offer without delays.

2. No Need for Repairs or Renovations

Repairing Fire damaged properties can be expensive and time-consuming. Traditional buyers often expect properties to be in move-in condition, leaving you spending thousands on repairs to make your home marketable.

Cash buyers eliminate this requirement by purchasing the property as-is, saving you time, money, and effort.

This approach is particularly beneficial if the fire damage is extensive or beyond your budget to fix.

3. Faster Closing Process

Traditional home sales often involve lengthy closing processes, including inspections, appraisals, and loan approvals. Selling to cash buyers significantly speeds up the timeline.

Since they don't rely on bank financing, cash buyers can close the deal in a few days or weeks, depending on your timeline.

This is especially helpful if you must sell quickly to cover other expenses or move on to your next chapter.

4. Avoiding the Stress of Traditional Sales

Selling a fire-damaged property on the open market can be stressful.

Potential buyers might back out after inspections reveal the extent of the damage, or you might face lowball offers due to the property's condition; cash buyers eliminate these uncertainties.

They are experienced in dealing with damaged properties and understand the challenges, making the process smoother and more predictable.

5. Cash Buyers Understand Fire-Damaged Properties

Fire damage can affect a property's structure, wiring, and plumbing, as well as its appearance.

Cash buyers often have experience working with such properties and know how to assess their value accurately.

They can see the potential in fire-damaged homes and have the resources to handle repairs, allowing you to sell without navigating the technical complexities.

6. Quick Relief from Financial Burdens

Fire damage often comes with unexpected financial burdens, such as insurance claims, repair costs, or even a mortgage on a home you can no longer live in.

Some Investment companies that buy houses specialize in purchasing fire-damaged properties, offering homeowners a quick way to liquidate their assets.

These companies provide cash offers to help you cover expenses, pay off your mortgage, or fund your next move without the stress of prolonged waiting periods or additional out-of-pocket costs.

By selling to them, you can quickly alleviate financial pressures and focus on rebuilding your future.

Conclusion

Selling a fire-damaged property doesn't have to be stressful or drawn-out. Cash buyers offer a fast, hassle-free alternative to traditional sales, allowing you to sell your property in its current condition without repairs, inspections, or delays.

Their expertise in handling damaged properties and ability to close quickly make them an ideal choice for homeowners looking to move forward with minimal stress.

If you're ready to sell your fire-damaged property and regain control of your financial future, consider working with a trusted cash buyer today.

Understanding Restorative Dentistry Materials: A Comprehensive Guide

Restorative dentistry is an essential field within dental care, focusing on repairing damaged teeth and restoring them to full functionality. As dental technology advances, the materials used in restorative procedures are becoming increasingly sophisticated, providing more durable, aesthetic, and biocompatible options. Let’s explore the various types of restorative dentistry materials and their importance in modern dentistry.

1. Composite Resins

Composite resins are a popular choice for dental restorations due to their aesthetic appeal. Made from a blend of plastic and fine glass particles, these materials can be matched to the natural color of the teeth, providing a seamless look. They are commonly used in fillings, veneers, and bonding treatments. One of the main advantages of composite resins is their ability to bond directly to the tooth structure, creating a strong, durable bond that can last for years.

Key Features:

Aesthetic match to tooth color

Versatile for different dental procedures

Minimally invasive

2. Dental Amalgam

Dental amalgam, often referred to as silver fillings, has been used for over a century in dentistry. Made from a mixture of metals including silver, mercury, tin, and copper, it is known for its durability and strength. While it’s not as aesthetically pleasing as other materials, amalgam is often used for restoring molars due to its ability to withstand the high pressures of chewing.

Key Features:

Strong and long-lasting

Cost-effective

Less commonly used due to aesthetic concerns

3. Ceramics

Ceramic materials, particularly porcelain, are widely used in crowns, inlays, and veneers. These materials are prized for their natural tooth-like appearance and ability to mimic the translucency of enamel. Additionally, ceramics are resistant to staining, making them an excellent choice for long-term dental restorations. Zirconia, a type of ceramic, has gained popularity for its exceptional strength and biocompatibility.

Key Features:

Excellent aesthetic properties

Stain-resistant

Biocompatible and strong

4. Gold Alloys

Gold has been a trusted material in restorative dentistry for decades. While not as popular due to its distinct appearance, gold alloys are incredibly durable and resistant to corrosion. Gold restorations, such as crowns and inlays, have a long lifespan and are often recommended for patients with heavy bite forces.

Key Features:

Long-lasting and strong

Resistant to wear and corrosion

High cost compared to other materials

5. Glass Ionomer

Glass ionomer is a versatile material often used in dental fillings, particularly in areas that are not subject to high chewing pressure. It releases fluoride, which can help prevent further tooth decay, making it an excellent choice for pediatric dentistry and fillings near the gum line. While not as strong as composite resin, it provides good support for certain restorations.

Key Features:

Fluoride release for cavity prevention

Bonds well with tooth structure

Less durable than composite resins

6. Hybrid Materials

Hybrid materials combine the benefits of different restorative options, such as glass ionomer and composite resins. These materials are designed to enhance strength, durability, and aesthetics, offering a more versatile solution for restorative procedures.

Key Features:

Combines advantages of different materials

Versatile for various dental needs

Balances strength and appearance

Conclusion

The evolution of restorative dentistry materials has provided dentists and patients with a wide range of options that cater to aesthetic desires, durability, and biocompatibility. Understanding these materials allows for better decision-making when it comes to dental restorations, ensuring a balance between functionality and appearance. Whether it's composite resins for a natural look or ceramics for strength and longevity, the advancements in dental materials continue to improve the quality of care in modern dentistry.

Digital Image Overview

Digital images are an important part of media, with many aspects that need to be considered when being used. There are many web formats, wrappers and codecs’, export settings, and the many ways tools are used to edit and manipulate images, along with many copyright laws that that artist will need to know when creating their own work, or using/appropriating others' work. 

Image and video formats are used to create the structure and organisation of a file's data, different formats are used for different kinds of files, like videos, images or text documents. They determine how the data is encoded and presented to a viewer, (What is a File Format? & Can It Affect the File Size? | Lenovo US n.d.)for instance an individual would not be able to view a video if the format was an mp3, as the mp3 format doesn’t include images and only audio, making it better for music or other sound audio based media. Although this individual could change the format by changing the wrapper which appears at the end of the name of the file from mp3 to mp4 which is commonly used for videos, this will convert the format using a program called the codecs which all computers have. Everyone is able to change the codecs which essentially decodes/encodes the file into the new format, allowing it to be viewed differently. Commonly used formats for particular files include; mp4 and MOV for videos, PDF and DOCX for text documents and, JPEG and PNG for images. Using the wrong format such as JPEG for a video will cause the data to be encoded wrong and the file won’t open. Additionally when downloading an image or video off of broadcast platforms there will be different export settings that means depending on what is downloaded, there will be certain things that the video will be downloaded with that the user can’t control. Such as the format it is downloaded in, image crop and colour space which will be changed around to fit, which is required for the website. For instance youtube is always downloaded in mp4 due to them being youtube videos, and comes with many different options for frame sizes while instagram has 4:5 image crop, and maximum 1080 pixels wide, (Jackson 2024) and can only be downloaded in JPEG, this are used to not only give the user the best version on the file they are exporting but also allows others to make a link between that file and where it was downloaded from. Overall these aspects of files and digital data, allow users with better experiences when downloading and organising sources. 

Moreover, when artist releases imagines they usually edit these images to make them even more palatable for an audience or use other images or sources online to create something new, this is done with editing softwares, such as photoshop and premiere pro to manipulate an image, for instance photoshop can be used to sharpen an artists photography work bringing out black and lighter colours or changing the colour intensity to fit the vibe they are trying to give off to an audience or allow them to edit existing photos such as taking parts of them for something new, such as using shapes and shadows from an existing image and combining it with there image to create meaning. This can be one for premier pro and video media also, as it allows creators to add down bites and text to the video along with different backgrounds if greenscreen is used they can take images to be used as new backgrounds to give certain effects this allows further creativity and higher quality art and content. However artists must be well informed when using other images, sound bites, music or videos from the internet as they need to make sure these things fall under fair use and copyright law. Artists need to be cautious when using others' work, as they could be stealing, they must make sure it either falls under fair use, “​​Fair use is a statutory provision that provides that a use of copyright material does not infringe copyright if it is ‘fair’' (What is fair use? 2013) or that they ask possession from the original creator to use their work, artists can also check the copyright as the media they are using may come under creative commons meaning they are allowed to use it under the specifications that come with the media they are using. Additionally larger companies such as video game companies can licence other works for example the game Dead By Daylight licences different slasher characters such as Micheal Myers and Chucky meaning they pay original licence holders to use their property. Thus creators are able to manipulate images and to create new pieces of content but must be vigilant when using others' art to make sure to obey copyright laws and regulations.

In summary there are many aspects a creator must think of when creating content like images and videos, knowing what formats they want to use and how to change and manipulate the work the way they want it without ruining the files while also making sure making everything ready to upload into streaming platforms, or exporting properly and being careful to keep within copyright laws while doing all these things.
