From the Kony2012 site.This list of "culturemakers" is fascinating to me, both who they are and how Invisible Children used them to go so viral with their campaign.
The initial buzz focused on how amazingly successful this campaign seemed to be and how it was inspiring so many people to care about an issue and people that they so often ignored. However, I was pleased to see how quickly writers/critics/scholars/activists stepped in and began raising important critical questions about the problems with this campaign: its focus on Uganda, it's plan for making Kony visible, it's paternalistic/white savior approach. As a side note, I've been noticing lately that there seems to be more visibility for critical voices on the web (or, am I just more tuned in to it?) that are challenging viral media and quick/easy/short-sighted solutions to huge problems. In this post, I don't want to add to the insightful critiques that many have offered (critiques that keep coming as the topic gets increasingly more bizarre with Invisible Children's founder, Jason Russell, being detained by police for erratic behavior and public masturbation last week). Instead, I want to use this post as a space for archiving a few of the blog posts/articles that are particularly interesting for me and my thinking about twitter and how it can be ab/used for generating empathy and inspiring people to care.
This movement did not emerge from the big cities, but rather small-medium sized cities across the Unites States. It is heavily supported by Christian youth, many of whom post Biblical psalms as their profile bios. Below is a wordle tagcloud highlighting the most common words that appear in their user bios. We easily identify prominent words such as Jesus, God, Christ, University and Student.
This article offers a positive spin on how critics were able to quickly and effectively (at least to some extent) challenge the campaign.
In the end, the people (teenagers) who spread this video were motivated by a desire to help, no matter how misguided and problematic the organization behind it. It is easy to be cynical, but the desire to do good by your fellow person is widespread. The video's virality demonstrates that. May the Kony 2012 backlash result in informing that desire, so that it is humbler, smarter, and can recognize a no-good campaign the next time one comes around.
I'm starting to wonder if this is a fundamental limit to attention-based advocacy. If we need simple narratives so people can amplify and spread them, are we forced to engage only with the simplest of problems? Or to propose only the simplest of solutions?
As someone who believes that the ability to create and share media is an important form of power, the Invisible Children story presents a difficult paradox. If we want people to pay attention to the issues we care about, do we need to oversimplify them? And if we do, do our simplistic framings do more unintentional harm than intentional good? Or is the wave of pushback against this campaign from Invisible Children evidence that we're learning to read and write complex narratives online, and that a college student with doubts about a campaign's value and validity can find an audience? Will Invisible Children's campaign continue unchanged, or will it engage with critics and design a more complex and nuanced response.
But the campaign's visibility is forcing to the surface some uneasy questions about race, political organizing, and the Internet. Namely: Must nuanced political issues be narrowed down to their simplest forms in order for the public to digest them? Can that issue work without perpetuating deeply problematic caricatures about race? And what, in the long run, does it mean to "win"?
Within days, Ugandan journalist Rosebell Kagumire rose to the top of a chorus of African voices criticizing the campaign.
As a film, as history, and as policy analysis, there is little to be said forKony 2012 except that its star and narrator, Jason Russell, the head of Invisible Children, and his colleagues seem to have their hearts in the right place. But this do-good spirit is suffused with an almost boastful naiveté and, more culpably, an American middle-class provincialism that illustrates beautifully the continuing relevance of the old adage about the road to hell being paved with good intentions.
if the narrative structure of Kony 2012 is reminiscent of anything, it is of a tried and true paternalism that the missionaries milked for all it was worth when they returned to the metropole from the outposts of the British and French empires in which they were working. Rather than trying to inspire, inform, and mobilize kids through the efficiencies of Facebook to care about faraway tragedies and needs, the missionaries had to content themselves with the largely retail work of mobilizing the faithful.
I want to come back to your point about immaturity because I want to make a distinction between "childish" and "childlike." You see, the blues and jazz are childlike, the sense of awe and wonder and the mystery and perplexity of things. "Childish" is immature.
Let us begin our activism right here: with the money-driven villainy at the heart of American foreign policy. To do this would be to give up the illusion that the sentimental need to "make a difference" trumps all other considerations. What innocent heroes don't always understand is that they play a useful role for people who have much more cynical motives. The White Savior Industrial Complex is a valve for releasing the unbearable pressures that build in a system built on pillage. We can participate in the economic destruction of Haiti over long years, but when the earthquake strikes it feels good to send $10 each to the rescue fund. I have no opposition, in principle, to such donations (I frequently make them myself), but we must do such things only with awareness of what else is involved. If we are going to interfere in the lives of others, a little due diligence is a minimum requirement.
Yikes! I intended this post to be brief and to only take a few minutes to write. Ha! Oh well, it was very helpful for me to spend the time reading through these posts and thinking (again) about care on/through/with twitter.


Most women who experience an ectopic pregnancy will either experience a great deal of bleeding or a sharp stabbing pain in their lower abdomen. It is rare for a woman to experience both of these symptoms. If you are having these symptoms, you should talk to your doctor in order to be tested for an ectopic pregnancy.
If a woman does have an ectopic pregnancy, surgery is usually the best option when it comes to treatment. Since a baby will not be able to survive where it has attached, outside of the uterus, it will be necessary to terminate the pregnancy. This type of pregnancy is also dangerous for the mother, so treatment is important.
Many women who experience heavy bleeding tend to believe that this means that they have had a miscarriage. However, with an ectopic pregnancy this is not the case. In this event, a trip to the doctor is still necessary and should be conducted as soon as possible.

COVID-19 is real – Oppong-Nkrumah
Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah
A survey by government has shown that 95% of Ghanaians have, one way or another, heard about COVID-19; but only 80% of these believe that the virus is real and its impact are devastating – with the other 20% not believing it exists at all or are of the view that it is a conspiracy being peddled by government.
These results, according to Information Minister Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, indicate one of the biggest challenges facing government in fighting the virus. The minister was speaking at the ministry's regular briefing on the virus.
"Our data suggest that when it comes to reach, we have reached over 95 percent of Ghanaians. Today, about 95 percent of Ghanaians should know about COVID-19 and what to do about it after four months of preaching on it. But not all of them believe it; our sampling suggests that up to about 20 percent have heard the message but don't believe it.
"This is because they would rather believe what some pastor says or what some political leader says. To them, it is Nana Akufo-Addo who travelled and brought the disease – or some funny story like that because their political leader is repeating it, or some pastor is saying he has received a vision that the thing will disappear after a while.
"Even for those who believe, not everybody is responding to the call to action, which is why we are talking about including enforcement and compliance. We all have a responsibility to try and step up these numbers," he said.
He added that government is worried about the level of compliance nationwide, because lack of compliance is one of the causes for increasing cases being recorded.
"We are asking that they (security agencies) do still more to enforce compliance with the COVID-19 protocols. Beyond calling for compliance and enforcement, we also need non-state actors – including the media, civil society groups, religious bodies etc. – to assist in the effort to get the remaining part of the population that is not complying to comply. It is not just about asking the security agencies to enforce the law, but all of us have the responsibility to ask non-state actors to also join us in calling for compliance."
The minister assured that government will not relent in its efforts to educate Ghanaians on COVID-19 until the believability and call to action goals are reached. He said the Ministry of Information and Ghana Health Service will continue in their efforts to educate the populace on the COVID-19 disease.

Encyclopædia Britannica: Achebe 'Things Fall Apart' Among 12 Novels Considered The "Greatest Book Ever Written"
Published in	Editors' Choice, Nigeria, Opinion, World
Unic Press UK: Encyclopædia Britannica, one of the world's leading sources of factual information on a wide range of subjects, has listed twelve (12) novels considered the 'greatest book ever written'.
In an article '12 Novels Considered the "Greatest Book Ever Written"', Jonathan Hogeback/Encyclopædia Britannica, wrote:
"Literary critics, historians, avid readers, and even casual readers will all have different opinions on which novel is truly the "greatest book ever written." Is it a novel with beautiful, captivating figurative language? Or one with gritty realism? A novel that has had an immense social impact? Or one that has more subtly affected the world? Here is a list of 12 novels that, for various reasons, have been considered some of the greatest works of literature ever written.
Anna Karenina. Any fan of stories that involve juicy subjects like adultery, gambling, marriage plots, and, well, Russian feudalism, would instantly place Anna Karenina at the peak of their "greatest novels" list. And that's exactly the ranking that publications like Time magazine have given the novel since it was published in its entirety in 1878. Written by Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy, the eight-part towering work of fiction tells the story of two major characters: a tragic, disenchanted housewife, the titular Anna, who runs off with her young lover, and a lovestruck landowner named Konstantin Levin, who struggles in faith and philosophy. Tolstoy molds together thoughtful discussions on love, pain, and family in Russian society with a sizable cast of characters regarded for their realistic humanity. The novel was especially revolutionary in its treatment of women, depicting prejudices and social hardships of the time with vivid emotion.
To Kill a Mockingbird. Harper Lee, believed to be one of the most influential authors to have ever existed, famously published only a single novel (up until its controversial sequel was published in 2015 just before her death). Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 and became an immediate classic of literature. The novel examines racism in the American South through the innocent wide eyes of a clever young girl named Jean Louise ("Scout") Finch. Its iconic characters, most notably the sympathetic and just lawyer and father Atticus Finch, served as role models and changed perspectives in the United States at a time when tensions regarding race were high. To Kill a Mockingbird earned the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1961 and was made into an Academy Award-winning film in 1962, giving the story and its characters further life and influence over the American social sphere.
The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is distinguished as one of the greatest texts for introducing students to the art of reading literature critically (which means you may have read it in school). The novel is told from the perspective of a young man named Nick Carraway who has recently moved to New York City and is befriended by his eccentric nouveau riche neighbor with mysterious origins, Jay Gatsby. The Great Gatsby provides an insider's look into the Jazz Age of the 1920s in United States history while at the same time critiquing the idea of the "American Dream." Perhaps the most-famous aspect of the novel is its cover art—a piercing face projected onto a dark blue night sky and lights from a cityscape—an image that is also found, in a slightly different configuration, within the text itself as a key symbol.
One Hundred Years of Solitude. The late Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez published his most-famous work, One Hundred Years of Solitude, in 1967. The novel tells the story of seven generations of the Buendía family and follows the establishment of their town Macondo until its destruction along with the last of the family's descendents. In fantastical form, the novel explores the genre of magic realism by emphasizing the extraordinary nature of commonplace things while mystical things are shown to be common. Márquez highlights the prevalence and power of myth and folktale in relating history and Latin American culture. The novel won many awards for Márquez, leading the way to his eventual honor of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 for his entire body of work, of which One Hundred Years of Solitude is often lauded as his most triumphant.
A Passage to India. E.M. Forster wrote his novel A Passage to India after multiple trips to the country throughout his early life. The book was published in 1924 and follows a Muslim Indian doctor named Aziz and his relationships with an English professor, Cyril Fielding, and a visiting English schoolteacher named Adela Quested. When Adela believes that Aziz has assaulted her while on a trip to the Marabar caves near the fictional city of Chandrapore, where the story is set, tensions between the Indian community and the colonial British community rise. The possibility of friendship and connection between English and Indian people, despite their cultural differences and imperial tensions, is explored in the conflict. The novel's colorful descriptions of nature, the landscape of India, and the figurative power that they are given within the text solidifies it as a great work of fiction.
Invisible Man. Often confused with H.G. Wells's science-fiction novella of nearly the same name (just subtract a "The"), Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man is a groundbreaking novel in the expression of identity for the African American male. The narrator of the novel, a man who is never named but believes he is "invisible" to others socially, tells the story of his move from the South to college and then to New York City. In each location he faces extreme adversity and discrimination, falling into and out of work, relationships, and questionable social movements in a wayward and ethereal mindset. The novel is renowned for its surreal and experimental style of writing that explores the symbolism surrounding African American identity and culture. Invisible Man won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction in 1953.
Don Quixote. Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, perhaps the most influential and well-known work of Spanish literature, was first published in full in 1615. The novel, which is very regularly regarded as one of the best literary works of all time, tells the story of a man who takes the name "Don Quixote de la Mancha" and sets off in a fit of obsession over romantic novels about chivalry to revive the custom and become a hero himself. The character of Don Quixote has become an idol and somewhat of an archetypal character, influencing many major works of art, music, and literature since the novel's publication. The text has been so influential that a word, quixotic, based on the Don Quixote character, was created to describe someone who is, "foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; especially: marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action."
Beloved. Toni Morrison's 1987 spiritual and haunting novel Beloved tells the story of an escaped slave named Sethe who has fled to Cincinnati, Ohio, in the year 1873. The novel investigates the trauma of slavery even after freedom has been gained, depicting Sethe's guilt and emotional pain after having killed her own child, whom she named Beloved, to keep her from living life as a slave. A spectral figure appears in the lives of the characters and goes by the same name as the child, embodying the family's anguish and hardship and making their feelings and past unavoidable. The novel was lauded for addressing the psychological effects of slavery and the importance of family and community in healing. Beloved was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988.
Mrs. Dalloway. Possibly the most idiosyncratic novel of this list, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway describes exactly one day in the life of a British socialite named Clarissa Dalloway. Using a combination of a third-person narration and the thoughts of various characters, the novel uses a stream-of-consciousness style all the way through. The result of this style is a deeply personal and revealing look into the characters' minds, with the novel relying heavily on character rather than plot to tell its story. The thoughts of the characters include constant regrets and thoughts of the past, their struggles with mental illness and post-traumatic stress from World War I, and the effect of social pressures. The novel's unique style, subject, and time setting make it one of the most respected and regarded works of all time.
Things Fall Apart. The Western canon of "great literature" often focuses on writers who come from North America or Europe and often ignores accomplished writers and amazing works of literature from other parts of the world. Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, published in 1958, is one such work of African literature that had to overcome the bias of some literary circles and one that has been able to gain recognition worldwide despite it. The novel follows an Igbo man named Okonkwo, describing his family, the village in Nigeria where he lives, and the effects of British colonialism on his native country. The novel is an example of African postcolonial literature, a genre that has grown in size and recognition since the mid-1900s as African people have been able to share their often unheard stories of imperialism from the perspective of the colonized. The novel is frequently assigned for reading in courses on world literature and African studies.
Jane Eyre. Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, another novel often assigned for reading in school, was initially published in 1847 under the pseudonym Currer Bell to disguise the fact that the writer was a woman. Fortunately, a lot has changed with regard to women in literature since 1847, and Brontë now receives the credit she deserves for one of the most-groundbreaking novels about women in history. At a time when the author felt compelled to hide her true identity, Jane Eyre provided a story of individualism for women. The novel's eponymous character rises from being orphaned and poor into a successful and independent woman. The work combines themes from both Gothic and Victorian literature, revolutionizing the art of the novel by focusing on the growth in Jane's sensibility with internalized action and writing.
The Color Purple. Though the epistolary novel (a novel in the form of letters written by one or more characters) was most popular before the 19th century, Alice Walker became a champion of the style with her 1982 Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning novel The Color Purple. Set in the post-Civil War American South, the novel follows a young African American girl named Celie into adulthood in letters she writes to God and to her sister Nettie. Celie faces sexual abuse by her father and eventually her husband, chronicling her own suffering and growth as well as that of her friends and family. The novel explores themes of sexism, racism, gender, sexual orientation, and disability through its grouping of disadvantaged and damaged characters who, over time, grow to shape their own lives. The story was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated film in 1985 that, despite widespread critical acclaim, was notoriously snubbed of all 11 awards it was nominated for."

Georgia man among Oath Keepers facing new Jan. 6 charges
by: Molly Curley
Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Georgia
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – A Guyton man is among the group of defendants now charged with seditious conspiracy in connection to the Jan. 6 riot, the first time such a charge has been handed down in the investigation.
Hundreds have been arrested in the ongoing investigation of the 2021 attack when supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol as Congress met to certify President Joe Biden's victory.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the new charges Thursday against Brian Ulrich, 44, and other members of the Oath Keepers, including the far-right group's leader, Stewart Rhodes, 56.
Biden calls Jan. 6 riot an attempted 'coup'
The DOJ claims Ulrich, who had been previously charged in the investigation, began planning for the riot a week prior and had joined an online group to discuss arrangements.
On the day of the attack, Ulrich allegedly formed a "stack" formation and breached the Capitol grounds with other Oath Keepers and affiliates.
The federal crime is a conspiracy to commit sedition, which is defined as "incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority."
The maximum penalty for the charge is 20 years in prison.
The last seditious conspiracy case brought by U.S. prosecutors was in 2010 when members of the Hutaree militia allegedly plotted to incite an uprising against the government in Michigan.
How many people were charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack?
A judge ultimately ordered acquittals on the charges, saying prosecutors relied too much on hateful diatribes protected by the First Amendment and didn't prove the accused ever had detailed plans for a rebellion.
Among the last successful convictions for seditious conspiracy stemmed from another storming of the Capitol in 1954, when four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire on the House floor, wounding five representatives.


Academic success was always of the utmost importance in my youth, and the pinnacle I was heading for was earning a degree in medicine or law. It seems like it's a Jewish mother's dream to announce that her child is either a doctor or lawyer (or is marrying one of the two).
As a youngster, I didn't care if I had to get tutors over the summer or come in an hour early or stay late to meet with my teacher for extra help. I wanted to be the best. All my good grades were hard-earned, and I was proud of my academic accomplishments.
But with my kids, I am going to depart from the stereotype of raising a Jewish doctor or lawyer, and will not put an exorbitant amount of pressure on them about their grades. Instead of being the best in class, I want my daughters to be their happiest, most self-assured and confident selves.
I do not feel the need to push my kids, because life is going to throw enough hardship at them without their mother being another source of stress and pressure to measure up and answer to.
And honestly, even if my kids do not receive direct pressure to be the best, I imagine they will have the internal drive and competitive nature, because that's my natural tendency, and my husband's too. My comfort with not pushing my kids comes by way of taking a page out of Freakonomics (remember the craze?) where success of offspring is mostly predetermined before they are born. Being set up with social advantages will help my kids—a lot. My children's academic success is not something we need to hustle for, in my mind, because it's ingrained in our family's way of being.
But where my kids could use my extra help (and who couldn't?) will be finding what brings them joy— and going after what they want with confidence.
How do you teach confidence and self-acceptance? Is there a handbook somewhere? I'm sure there are plenty of books on the subject, but my 5-year-old is still learning to write her name. I would like to spare her the hassle of creating her own self-help library.
Self-confidence is not something you can force. When pushed, it looks pathetic. If self-confidence is something I want my kids to see and embrace, I realize my main goal will be to achieve it for myself first and lead the way.
When I feel confident, where does my confidence come from? I possess no secret knowledge. In fact, I am sure I do not have it all figured out. No one feels like "they've got this" when it comes to being 100 percent happy or successful. We are all just doing the best we can as we float along in life.
Self-confidence comes from holding on to what I know to be true, but also listening to my instincts. It comes from knowing I feel better when I act morally and ethically. I also have learned that if something feels exciting and a little scary, I should go for it.
These principles are like having a mini set of instructions for my life, and I am adding to it in tiny ways every day. I don't have every answer, but I'm trying.
I hope it's enough to give my kids the confidence and self-acceptance they need to try every day too.

Feel Good Family Film – Chabutaro
November 08: An excellent family film! From the first scene it grabs the attention of the audience through its magical cinematography and that magic remains continued till the last scene. The beauty of Chicago and Ahmedabad Heritage is brilliantly captured and hence the film looks so eye pleasing from beginning to end. Raunaq Kamdar and Anjali Barot (Scam 1992 fame) have acted remarkably well and holds the charm. Both of them look so real (natural) and their chemistry on screen is mesmerizing. Raunaq has already made a fine impression in audience's hearts via few of his last successful films; and here too he has given his best. Anjali Barot shines out with her expressions, acting and natural dialogues delivery. Senior artists like Dharmesh Vyas, Chhaya Vora and Annapurna Shukla have also done a fine and fitting job from their part.
The story of the film is quite simple, but it's portrayed on the screen in a very attractive and interesting way. The guy works and lives up to his dreams in US Chicago is forced to move back to Ahmedabad because of some VISA Issues. After returning to Ahmedabad, he is observed keen in anticipation to go back to America again because he doesn't like the life here. His father wants him to join his family business and he has his own visions to achieve. Amid all these he meets with a girl, an architecture student, who is obsessed with an Old Ahmedabad City and has an interest of maintaining the prosperity of rich heritage and culture of the city. Now will there be any crush between two people with different mindsets? Will the boy go back to Chicago? And will the guy join his family business or would peruse his own dreams? Answering all such questions, this film is worth enjoying on a big screen.
Story is very relatable & very well written and its execution is magnificent. Direction and Script Writing is highly praiseworthy for the scene sequences which are marvelously crafted and shot. Screenplay is interesting and Cinematography is just WOW; and with that film has become an enormous visual experience which grabs the audience attention. Music is very good, and all the songs sound to blend and fit well with the storyline. Editing is crisp and the film is of just two hours. Dialogues are smartly written and appropriate to the new generation. I liked the film very much and would like to rate it as 5 / 5 (). Simple is beautiful and that's what it is. Go and enjoy with your full family; even kids would love it as the film also has a cute dog 'Buddy'!
What I Liked Most? – Annapurna Shukla in the role of a grandmother; very traditional, cute yet modern.
P.S. – The dog 'Buddy' in the film utters too and his VO is given by Malhar Thakar.

Overall: The LG LDF6920ST fully integrated dishwasher has a fully integrated control panel giving it a sleek, modern look that is perfect for just about any existing kitchen decor.
LG is known for delivering quality products at a low price point and they deliver on this model.
This model features one of the more innovative systems developed by LG, the Slim Direct Motor which delivers power directly to the tub from the motor without the need for belts or pulleys. This efficiency makes this unit exceptionally compact and extremely quiet.
The LG LDF6920ST has 5 different wash cycles with 3 spray arms (most dishwashers have 2) allowing for an efficient and effective cleaning power.
The LoDecibel™ Quiet System ensures you can hold a quiet conversation in your kitchen while the dishwasher is running. With the Slim Direct Motor™ combined with a sophisticated insulation package, it's one of the quietest machines we've run across.
LG's exclusive SenseClean™ System measures just how clean your dishes are after the first wash cycle. The water and wash time are then adjusted during the second cycle depending on how much more cleaning is necessary. This helps to maximize this unit's energy efficiency.
This unit has an extra large tall tub and gives you a capacity for handling up to 16 place settings in a single wash. To give you a sense of how much that is, the average dishwasher can hold a maximum of 12.
The 3-in-1 Cutlery baskets allow you to either combine or separate each section into various places within the machine as space allows.
Multi-Level Water Direction: This LG Dishwasher has a multi-level water direction which sprays both water and detergent in five different directions. This feature almost doubles the efficiency of the wash cycle giving you a more thorough cleaning.
Hybrid Condensing Drying System With a combination of a fan and condensation drying system, the Hybrid Condensing Drying system gives you faster drying times and reduced spotting. Limits the need for JET DRY or CASCADE.
Quiet Operation: It deserves mentioning again that this particular LG Dishwasher is truly one of the quietest models available. It's a close second ONLY to Bosch.
Adjustable Top Rack: This allows you to lower the height of the top rack giving you the space to fit plates that are up to 12" in height on the top shelf.
Doesn't Perform in Low Pressure Situations: The cleaning power of this particular dishwasher seemed to be hugely affected in homes that had low water pressure. Because it uses a water heater versus a heating element (which older, non energy efficient models have) the water pressure had a direct affect on the quality of the clean.
Available Colors: This model only comes in stainless steel(as pictured above).
Tip: Shop around online -- the price of one retailer can be DRASTICALLY different than another. We've found these units for as low as $649.00.

Q: Direct3D11: Sharing a texture between devices: black texture I have two D3D11 devices, each with its own context but on the same adapter.
I am trying to share a texture beween the two, but the texture I recieve on the other side is always black.
HRESULT hr;

// Make a shared texture on device_A / context_A
D3D11_TEXTURE2D_DESC desc;
ZeroMemory(&desc, sizeof(desc));
desc.Width = 1024;
desc.Height = 1024;
desc.MipLevels = 1;
desc.ArraySize = 1;
desc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
desc.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
desc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
desc.Usage = D3D11_USAGE_DEFAULT;
desc.CPUAccessFlags = 0;
desc.MiscFlags = D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED;
desc.BindFlags = D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE | D3D11_BIND_RENDER_TARGET;
ID3D11Texture2D* copy_tex;
hr = device_A->CreateTexture2D(&desc, NULL, &copy_tex);

// Test the texture by filling it with some color
D3D11_RENDER_TARGET_VIEW_DESC rtvd = {};
rtvd.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
rtvd.ViewDimension = D3D11_RTV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
rtvd.Texture2D.MipSlice = 0;
ID3D11RenderTargetView* copy_tex_view = 0;
hr = device_A->CreateRenderTargetView(copy_tex, &rtvd, &copy_tex_view);
FLOAT clear_color[4] = {1, 0, 0, 1};
context_A->ClearRenderTargetView(copy_tex_view, clear_color);

// Now try to share it to device_B:
IDXGIResource* copy_tex_resource = 0;
hr = copy_tex->QueryInterface( __uuidof(IDXGIResource), (void**)&copy_tex_resource );
HANDLE copy_tex_shared_handle = 0;
hr = copy_tex_resource->GetSharedHandle(&copy_tex_shared_handle);
IDXGIResource* copy_tex_resource_mirror = 0;
hr = device_B->OpenSharedResource(copy_tex_shared_handle, __uuidof(ID3D11Texture2D), (void**)&copy_tex_resource_mirror);
ID3D11Texture2D* copy_tex_mirror = 0;
hr = copy_tex_resource_mirror->QueryInterface(__uuidof(ID3D11Texture2D), (void**)(&copy_tex_mirror));

However: the copy_tex_mirror texture is always black.
I don't get any HRESULT error codes, and can even use copy_tex_mirror on device_B / context_B normally, but I can't get the pixel data that I put into it on device_A.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!

A: How do you know that the texture is always black? :-)
GPU operations are queued up by Direct3D, so when you open the shared resource on device_B, the ClearRenderTargetView() on device_A might not have been carried out yet. According to the MSDN library documentation on ID3D11Device::OpenSharedResource Method:

If a shared texture is updated on one device ID3D11DeviceContext::Flush must be called on that device.

We had a lot of issues such as this when we implemented shared textures between devices at work. If you add D3D9 or OpenGL to the mix, the pitfalls multiply..

SAWA – IHSA Football Teams Display Sportsmanship, Character & Integrity During 2015 Season
As a part of the IHSA Do What's Right! Sportsmanship Program, member school personnel and licensed IHSA officials have the ability to recognize acts of exemplary sportsmanship and integrity that occur in IHSA events throughout the school year via the Sport A Winning Attitude Report (SAWA). Those who are recognized receive a special certificate from the IHSA and select SAWAs are featured here on the IHSAState website.
The 2015 high school football season started in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, as an incident in a high school game in Texas made national news. However, there were great examples or sportsmanship and character by high school football teams throughout Illinois all year long. Below is a sampling of a few SAWA Reports filed by IHSA Officials during the 2015 football season:
"I just wanted to commend Coach Ernst (Lincoln-Way West) and Coach Czart (Lincoln-Way North) and all of the coaches and players for outstanding sportsmanship during the game. All too often we pick the negative things out and I really feel that they need to be recognized for the good. The game had a final score of 28-21 in overtime and never was there a problem of any kind. The coaches and players had perfect sportsmanship and displayed a respect for their opponent and the officials."
"My football crew was doing the Mt. Zion vs. Charleston game. I am the head linesman on our crew, therefore I was on Charleston's sideline. Before the game started I noticed some small cones on the side line, but didn't think much about it. About halfway through the game I noticed that there hadn't been any issues with players or coaches in the box during the game which is odd. I finally realized that coach put the cones down to make his players stay behind them. I also noticed that I hadn't heard much out of the coaching staff. Despite Charleston losing by a large margin, anytime there was a penalty against them, Coach Hogan was very professional about asking about the call. Prior to halftime we were awaiting a kick off when an assistant coach began to approach me to ask about a call, at which point Coach Hogan immediately came up to the coach, stopped him and made him walk away, telling the coach that he would be the only one talking to the officials. I never heard any CHS player say anything negative to the officials or their opponent. I think Coach Hogan needs to be recognized for his professionalism and the way he teaches his kids to respect officials and rules."
"I was the linesman (Fremd sideline) in the varsity football game between Fremd and Hoffman Estates on October 9, 2015. The sportsmanship of Fremd was extraordinary and fantastic. This was a closely contested game that went into overtime. From the opening whistle to the end of overtime the staff kept everybody back and gave me lots of space to work and stayed out of my way so I could do my job. Beyond that though, the staff, from the head coach to the assistants were all great examples of sportsmanship. No player from Fremd ever raised their voices in talking to the officials on the field. Simply put, this was one of the best total team examples of excellent sportsmanship that I have seen in my 24 years as a football official in this State. Fremd should be congratulated as this sportsmanship is what high school athletics is supposed to teach to these players."
"On a dangerously hot day with heat indexes reaching triple digits, Alton's athletic director was as accommodating as an AD has ever been for a JV game in my 10 years of officiating football. He was instrumental in helping maintain a safe environment on the field for players, coaches and officials."
"The football coaching staffs at York and Downers Grove North were fantastic. They showed tremendous sportsmanship through a very close and highly contested game. Whenever we had an issue they supported and respected our decisions and never overreacted or showed poor sportsmanship at any point. The staff should be commended for the example they set for the kids and the way they represented their school. They were a true class act and look forward to working their games in the future should we be lucky enough to get assigned."
"The varsity contest began with a simple presentation that set the tone for the evening-- the Carmel Athletic Director and Head Coach walked the entire way across the field to present Benet with a donation check for the family of a young man who I learned was injured in this game one year ago. The cries of "thank you, Carmel!" from the Benet stands more than once overpowered the PA announcer. This was so much bigger than the game."
The game itself was hard fought and often close, but more importantly was a textbook example of solid athleticism coupled with the model for human decency. When plays ended (even without a whistle) the players worked with each other to 'roll-off' and help each other up without being told to. Benet defensive players congratulated Carmel running backs on a great run with a pat on the back after making the tackle. After a sweep late in the third quarter to the near side where the Benet running back injured himself in Carmel's team box, the Carmel players on the sideline immediately backed up to create a large perimeter, got the attention of medical personnel, and put themselves silently on a knee.
All in all, it was glaringly apparent that both the teams were incredibly disciplined, which is a reflection on the coaches, teachers and parents of these student-athletes... but this wasn't just the type of discipline fueled by fear of running the next day. These kids were disciplined, hard-working and principled because they WANTED to be, and that is a reflection on each of them as individuals.
Tonight was a model for exactly what interscholastic athletics should be... and for us referees, who often have to deal with increased scrutiny, "YouTube accountability," and contests that can turn into a police action, tonight was a true breath of fresh air. Please pass along a heartfelt THANK YOU to the players, coaches, administrations, and fans of both Carmel and Benet for setting the example for all the future high school athletes in the crowd, and for re-energizing this referee."
"Just want to comment on how respectful Coach Driscoll and his staff at Limestone was Friday night. Our Head Linesman was still talking about it on Monday how respectful the coaches and players were throughout the game. Limestone Football was a class act no matter the score."
"Centralia's entire team and coaching staff demonstrated what is truly good about high school sports. Great sportsmanship demonstrated at a high level. It was truly a pleasure to be on the field with them."

Virtue theory emphasizes the character of a moral agent (a being that has the freewill to choose courses of action) in relation to Natural Laws (NL) in ethics, such as to not lie, to not steal, to not murder, etc. Any virtue must be universal for all beings. For example, all humans exhibit faith inter alia (e.g. people expect the sun to rise each morning etc.) which when acted upon (make concrete plans) in advance demonstrate the virtue of trust. Trust is a decision based on perceived truth.
Trust is a belief in the reliability of something by faith that that something is trustworthy. The infinite Creator of all things (cause and effects) would not need faith or trust in that He knows all things. Trust is from a finite intellect toward the infinite Creator or not. Since the Creator or God is immutable, He only is perfectly trustworthy. Finite beings can elicit trust from other finite beings by demonstrating a behavioral arc of coherence to NL.
Colin F. Camerer, a professor of behavioral economics at Caltech, recommends his 2003 book titled "Behavioral Game Theory" to address the language of trust. (Colin Camerer recommended his book in an email exchange with Dallas F. Bell Jr. in December, 2009.) Camerer's book defines trust by saying a person trusts another person if they would loan money to that person who doesn't have to pay them back but might feel obligated to do so. If they pay the money back, they are trustworthy. That definition can add measurement of trust, and has been used in experiments in Bulgaria, South Africa, and Kenya.
It is imperative for researchers to be familiar with brain structures. This information can be found in a whole brain atlas. (See references) It is also crucial to have an understanding of MRI. (See references) The human body is composed of water molecules that have two hydrogen nuclei (protons). When the brain is scanned by the magnetic field, the magnetic moments of the protons align with the direction of the field. A magnetic moment is the measure of a magnitude and direction of a system's magnetism. When the radio frequency electromagnetic field is briefly turned on, the protons are caused to alter their alignment relative to the field until the field is turned off. The position of protons can be determined by applying additional magnetic fields which allow the building of an image.
Camerer et al used a multiround version of an economic exchange (trust game) to show that reciprocity expressed by one player strongly predicts future trust expressed by their partner. This behavioral finding was mirrored by neural responses in the dorsal striatum. Brain analysis revealed two signals--one encoded by response magnitude and one by response timing. Response magnitude correlated to the intention to trust on the next play and the peak of intent to trust responses shifted its time by 14 seconds as player reputation developed. That fMRI data broadened the functional view of the dorsal striatum.
The neuroscience of another economic game study showed the extent to which a player trusted another with their money depended on the recent history of the exchange. If the investor increased the contribution to a trustee immediately following a round in which the trustee had reduced payback, the trustee generally rewarded this perceived benevolence reciprocity with greater return the next round. But if an investor demonstrated malevolent reciprocity by repaying generosity with stinginess, the trustee usually returned less the next time. Scans by researchers found that the trustee's brain activity in the caudate nucleus was greatest when the investor showed benevolence and was most subdued when the investor showed malevolence. The caudate activity rose and fell with changes in the amount of money trustees returned to their investor on the subsequent round of play.
When exposed to a perceived expert and an object, a recent study showed that long-lasting positive effects on memory toward the object occurred. The fMRI showed associations with distributed left-lateralized brain activity in the prefrontal and temporal cortices. Memory formation effects were enhanced in the medial temporal lobe (hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus). The caudate nucleus for trustful behavioral was also effected. Experience shows that children that have been regularly exposed to being lied to can be expected to not trust other people and to not develop the need to be truthful or trustworthy themselves.
Trust is needed for higher societal levels (from Q3 to Q1). People are not to trust their hearts (Prov. 28:26), weapons (Ps. 44:6), wealth (Ps. 49:6-7; Prov. 11:28; Luke 16:11), leaders (Ps. 146:3; Jere. 17:5), works (Jere. 48:7), self righteousness (Eze. 33:13), or wickedness (Is. 47:10-15). People are to trust the Lord (Is.26:3-4), God's name (Ps. 33:21), God's Word (Ps. 119:42), and Christ (Matt. 12:17-21). The benefits of this trust is joy (Ps. 5:11), deliverance (Ps. 22:4-5), triumph (Ps. 25:2-3), goodness (Ps. 31:19), mercy (Ps. 32:10), provision (Ps. 37:3-5), blessings (Ps. 40:4), safety (Ps. 56:4, 11; 91; Prov. 29:25; Luke 12:4), usefulness (Ps. 73:28), guidance (Prov. 3:5-6), inheritance (Is. 57:13), and happiness (Prov. 16:20). Trust among friends requires reinforcement and verification with humility (Prov. 6:1-3).
In 1861, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase directed the U.S. mint to make a motto for the U.S. money that reflected "In God We Trust." Chase wrote that "No nation can be strong except in God's strength, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on ours coins." Chase's letter was a response to the Episcopal minister M.R. Watkinson's letter he received that such a motto "...would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism." The heathen continue doing what they do by resisting trust in God. Heathens are nonbelievers which are superstitious (Deut. 18:14), ignorant of God (Rom. 1:21), without law (Rom. 2:14), are wicked (Rom. 1:23-32), idolatrous (I Cor. 12:2), are without Christ (Eph. 2:12), and are dead in sin (Eph. 2:1). They can be converted (Is. 60:1-14; Acts 28:25-29) and become heirs (Eph. 3:6).
Foucault (1926-1984) was an atheist who took LSD and supported the revolutionary government of Iran in 1979 before dying of AIDS. He expanded the panopticon principle from prisons to society. He suggested that a "carceral continuum" runs through modern society. All people are connected by the supervision of some people by others. Today, Tennessee law allows and encourages citizens to report littering to law enforcement officials without proof or the ability of the accused to face their accuser(s). Tennessee policy is for government officials to immediately send an accusatory letter to the accused.
Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), pen named George Orwell, wrote of the panopticon society in 1948 (published in 1949) titled "Nineteen Eighty-Four." Convicted of being a Soviet spy in 1948 and for perjury in 1950, U.S. citizen Alger Hiss (1904-1996) helped establish the United Nations. He served as the secretary-general of the UN Conference on International Organization (the UN Charter Conference) in San Francisco in 1945. It can be inferred that this expert (Hiss) and the object ( the UN Charter) are both perceived as untrustworthy in the long-term memory of informed persons.
In God's omniscient dimension, He sees all things and time simultaneously. That panopticon can be understood by space and time as being bent in shape. A thousand years is as a day with God (Ps. 90:4; II Peter 3:8). Time is a linear succession of moments but could reasonably be bent by the force from God's dimension of heaven and hell. Time would not be a construct.
Shahn Majid (b. 1960) is professor of mathematical sciences at Queen Mary University of London and author of the book "On Space and Time." He allows for the possibility that time is a kind of construct and time not exactly bending to causation but is related to what one means by causation and by what one means by geometry. (Shahn Majid's comments were taken from an email exchange with Dallas F. Bell Jr. in December, 2009.) Majid explains that if one subscribes to quantum spaces, one will be forced to invent time. So not only is one forced to invent time, one's original space variables only obey an equation which in the limits of ordinary space (i.e. as one removes gravity effects) becomes Schröedinger's wave equation.
It has been said that the collapsing wave function allows for physics to distinguish between past and future, between the realm of fact and that of possibility. However, the moment of now and the boundary between chosen facts and possibility still to be chosen remain undefined.
David Bell, Dean of the Faculty of KSAS and professor in the humanities at Johns Hopkins University, wrote that the French Revolutionary period (1789-1799) arose both out of and reaction to Christianity. The revolutionary thieves raped and used a committee to murder people they disliked and to attempt to de-Christianize France. They replaced B.C. with the revolutionary time. After their atheist's problems of not having something to worship, they adopted the goddess of wheat to replace the infinite God. When the French people were hungry, the elites used the economic troubles and aberrant weather conditions to attempt to eliminate Christianity, change social institutions and change human behavior. China and Russia had a similar series of revolutions in the last century. Advanced communication technology between average people now allow for truth to quickly refute manipulation attempts and should then be expected to have that empowering technology suppressed by elites.
Anton Chekhov's last play, "The Cherry Orchard", describes the futility of the aristocrats to hold to their wealth by slavery due to their lack of applied ingenuity and skill. Vishal Mangalwadi (b. 1949) wrote "Truth and Transformation." He recalls the scripture where Jesus tells of people that were given talents and gifts by God. Some doubled their talents and gifts and were told well done by God, as well as were given more talents and gifts. One person did not increase their talents and gifts and was called wicked and slothful and the talents and gifts were taken away and the person was cast into darkness by God (Matt. 25:14-46; Luke 19:12-27). The implication is that God has given all people talents and gifts to use to meet their needs (Prov. 6:6-11). The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise (Prov. 15:31).
If someone cannot produce their family is to care for their needs and if they have no family the church is to care for their needs (I Tim. 5:16). People that expect to receive without producing (slavery) are pernicious and are not in compliance with NL. Those self-righteous thieves are socially unjust and, ironically, are calling Jesus a liar and unjust. Whether poor or wealthy they cannot be trusted (I Tim. 5:8). Elites often communicate about non-elites emblematic of primatologists relating to another species, such as apes. World elite's globalization efforts are beyond a desire for power. They need to self-actualize.
In conclusion, William Shakespeare wrote in Act 1, Scene 1 of " All's Well That Ends Well" the following. "Be thou blest, Bertram, and succeed the father in manners, as in shape! Thy blood and virtue contend for empire in thee, and thy goodness share with thy birthright! Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy rather in power than use, and keep thy friend under thy own life's key: be cheque'd for silence, but never tax'd for speech. What heaven more will, that thee may furnish and my prayers pluck down, fall on thy head!"
