A privacy-conscious shift in how we publish and communicate with the public.

Since 2020, the RB and LPX Foundation has maintained a WordPress site to publish articles and updates. We have now migrated the site to Hugo, a static site generator that allows us to write in plain text using markdown and publish by merging changes to a public repository. For those of us who work professionally in software, this process is familiar and efficient. It also aligns with common practices in documentation across technical fields.

There are 220 million speakers of Dravidian languages in the world. Most of these are speakers of Tamil or Telugu who live in South and South-Central India. That population is comparable to the English speaking population of the world, of which 360 million are native speakers. As such it seems reasonable to expect that speakers of Telugu and Tamil should have a notable presence in the world of cinema. This part of cinema is sometimes known as Tollywood.

Science is about asking questions and looking for answers. It is not a bad thing when you get exactly the answer you were expecting to exactly the question you were asking. On the other hand, it seems even better to get a completely surprising answer to a question almost but not quite the exact question you were asking.

The question I was not quite asking was, who is the most connected actor in the history of cinema. The answer that I did not expect was Matsunosuke Onoe.

Hello World and welcome.

This is my first message here on this platform, in this forum, and I do mean this to be an invitation. I do not know who will read, but thank you for reading, especially if you are someone that I do not know. What I intend to create here in the RB and LPX Foundation is community, a network of like minded citizens of the world. Please connect with me through this forum so that we can talk about science. Get to know me. Get to know others who come here for the same reason. Come with respect and stay with kindness.
