Welcome to Panacea University and the faculty section of the main Panacea-BOCAF website. Here you will find, via free access, the most current versions of educational semi-textbooks and reports of experiments having to do with alternative engineering that are not currently taught in the accepted universities. Our aims are to protect and provide studies and archives of information dealing with, for instance, free energy technology, suppressed energy technology, mileage boosting, lowering emissions, alternative fuels, interesting motor modifications and studies in rotors and magnets—sometimes called experimental magnetic motors or experimental magnetic generators.

Really Open University

http://reallyopenuniversity.wordpress.com/ John Carpenter could have, and did. Almost a quarter of a century ago (1988), the master of date-night terror ( Halloween , The Thing ), wrote and directed They Live , depicting the Age of Reagan as a catastrophic alien invasion. In one of the film’s brilliant early scenes, a huge third-world shantytown is reflected across the Hollywood Freeway in the sinister mirror-glass of Bunker Hill’s corporate skyscrapers. They Live remains Carpenter’s subversive tour de force. Few who’ve seen it could forget his portrayal of billionaire bankers and evil mediacrats and their zombie-distant rule over a pulverized American working class living in tents on a rubble-strewn hillside and begging for jobs.
The meeting will focus on the OER for Assessment and Credit for Students project which aims to provide flexible pathways for learners from across the globe who have accessed open education courses to be assessed and earn formal academic credit for their work at reduced fees. This will be a first step towards building an OER university . The OER Foundation is collaborating with anchor founding partners Otago Polytechnic (New Zealand), the University of Southern Queensland (Australia) and Athabasca University (Canada) on the project, and welcomes the participation of the wider community.

A heuristic is a "rule-of-thumb", advice that helps an AI program or human think and act more efficiently by directing thinking in an useful direction. Comment: Obviously true, and doing it is usually very good for your self esteem. A surprising amount of work can be done this way, and experts are not always necessary. However, there is a risk of becoming overworked if you try to do everything yourself - we all need other people after all. Never procrastinate anything you can do right now http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Individual/Mental/rules.html

Stanford - Philosopy

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spinoza/ First published Fri Jun 29, 2001; substantive revision Mon Dec 1, 2008 Baruch (or Benedictus) Spinoza is one of the most important philosophers—and certainly the most radical—of the early modern period. His thought combines a commitment to Cartesian metaphysical and epistemological principles with elements from ancient Stoicism and medieval Jewish rationalism into a nonetheless highly original system. His extremely naturalistic views on God, the world, the human being and knowledge serve to ground a moral philosophy centered on the control of the passions leading to virtue and happiness. They also lay the foundations for a strongly democratic political thought and a deep critique of the pretensions of Scripture and sectarian religion.

The Art of History: How Writing Leads to Thinking

The Art of History is a new series of articles by senior scholars who are willing to share their thoughts on, and offer advice about, some aspect of the art and craft of historical research and writing, drawing upon their own experiences in particular. The series began with Caroline Walker Bynum’s article " Teaching Scholarship ". Writing is stressful. Sitting in my computer chair my neck and shoulder muscles almost immediately tense up as I dig around in my brain for the best phrase or even any coherent string of words, whether I am writing an essay like this one, a book chapter, a letter of recommendation, or an email message to a friend. Writing is time-consuming. It’s a great way to pass the time on a long airplane flight because you lose track of the passage of time altogether.
