DANCE KOURETES DANCE

The Dioskouroi are found in cult as the Lords (Anaktes or Anakes) Dioskouroi, or just as Lords, and become interlaced with the Kabeiroi (or their alias, The Great Gods), the Kouretes (who danced in armour around the baby Zeus), and the Korybantes (also befotten by Zeus). Dioskouroi, Kourete, Korybantes - all youth (kouros/koros) gods, projections of youths as a class in society, trainee warriors. This is worth thinking about when looking at Zeus and the phatries at Athens (p.66).

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
