Hi. I have created this introductory summary for your consideration for an appropriate for me position with the United Nations organization. To Whom It May Concern. Programmer & Systems Analyst / Webmaster I am experienced organizer, promoter, exhibiting and performing artist, webmaster, and graphics designer. I am diligent and have acute attention to the details. As a systems analyst and programmer by education I have held important jobs where I was responsible for a dozen employees, flawless performance of the live servers, and managing web department with 4 million a year operations budget of a TSX company I helped to take public. As a webmaster of Iceberg Media.com Inc. (formerly Virtually Canadian) I was responsible for inspecting, production, and maintenance of three live 24/7 servers broadcasting live shows and events, such as the Red Hot Chili Papers concert on Young street, the Government, El Mocambo, Lee's Palace, and other major artist and venues in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am easy going and people naturally trust my judgement. I will make a positive contribution to any team I am part of. I am looking forward to be able to provide my extensive skills and experience to the United Nations. My universe project went online in 1999 as an innovative web interface and platform for mapping online and offline content. It is world's first and still the only www universe available as a web page at http://theUniverse.name/ and its economic engine based on The Ring Of Periodic Elements (TROPE)* interface for the Universal Elements Exchange (UEE) http://trope.theUniverse.name/ (under development). It is both an educational game and a market place planned to be available online, via mobile apps, and as a table game. My design for The Ring Of Periodic Elements was adopted worldwide as an official alternative table of periodic elements design, see its global use at the bottom of the TROPE link. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Ring_Of_Periodic_Elements_(TROPE).png http://theuniverse.name/wp/2009/04/trope-rules-business-plan/ Artist I have recently uploaded a photo of my pentagon tile painting "The Birth of Time" to Saatchi online gallery. I use fluorescent acrylics to give it extra dimension. I invite you to see it.*1 I have discovered this pentagon tessellation in 2004 inspired by an x-ray photo published in a science book of a qusicrystal discovered by Dan Shechtman, and in 2005 i showcased the first Colour Wheel triptych series at the Museum Of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA)*2 *3 In 2006 my 60"x60" pentagon tile painting was chosen from global competition and published on the cover of the commemorative calendar celebrating 100th birthday of Dr. Albert Hofmann.*4 In 2011 Dan Shechtman received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering quasicrystals. In 2012 I pained Primary Series II of triptych Yellow, Red, and Blue. The series was hand picked by the Saatchi curators to a pool of fifty artists out of five thousand in the 2nd round of the abstract competition.*5 The Last High Priest Of The Universe In England, where i lived with Miriam Rothschild in her house in London and the Ashton Wold estate, I met HM The Queen. I lived in Rome and studied in Vatican and Rabbinical college in New Jersey. I lived with my aunt, Elena Cardenas-Malagodi, in Paris whose husband was head of the Italian Senate late Giovanni Malagodi. I am three parts Jewish and my mother's mother is Ukrainian from a small village near Kiev. She was the only survivor from her village of the holodomor hunger blockade inflicted by Joseph Stalin. However I decided to become an artist and run away from working for my extanded family. I wasn't ready for those responsibilities in my early 20's. My father told me that he is of Jewish High Priest line, whatever that means, i only found out i had a father when i was 15, Anyway, since i found out that the high priest title was traditionally past through father to son, that title seems to be being the only inheritance from my father thus far, plus the fact that i don't plan to have any kids, i have not a slightest desire for it nor having sex with others, i think i over did it in my youth and am quiet content since, and for some other cosmic reasons... my actual title i have been using for many years now is: The Last High Priest Of The Universe aka Atum Tem. I consider myself immortal in the mortal body. Are are all the universe manifest, however i am conscious of it. I offer you an opportunity to do something symbiotic. I, naturally, expect you to anticipate the average and what falls into the prescribed criteria of what a so-called mortal employee-like creature should offer forth, however i want to make it exceptionally clear that i am the designer of the archetypes of cosmic proportions and thus i am involved one way or another in what is happening. I offer peace, flowering, and integrity among other gifts. I have great skills, and i am dilligent at my duties and posts i fulfill in my roles; as a well educated conscious human being, citizen in good standing in my communities, CEO of my various commercial enterprises including myself as an artist, and corporate employee taking a broadcast company from ground up to the TSX fast, efficient, and extremely satisfactory for all parties involved. As you realize, it is a shout in the dark from my perspective and i hope that within the United Nations i can find my symbiotic contribution appreciated in ways that i will see it proper. I consider myself immortal in the mortal body. I offer you an opportunity to do something symbiotic. I, naturally, expect you to anticipate the average and what falls into the prescribed criteria of "normal," however i know that is what the actual crazy people think since there is no such thing as normality beyond following rigid procedures and managing popular and personal expectations rooted in experiences of punishment and reward that are driven by the needs and want, for most with haphazard priorities. Why such a mess? First on, it is evil lack of consciousness doing and planning it on purpose, second, it is done by spiritually unawakened and intellectually unenlightened beings who are pursuing basically "blind leading blind" type of non strategy, not only for themselves but the entire world. However such arrogance and ignorance does not sit well with the universe and it rebels. I offer my conceptual philosophical advice and spiritual guidence for the benefit of all humanity, beause God knows we all need it. Live! Be Well! Prosper! /// peace _\|/_ namaste _\|/_ The Last High Priest Of The Universe aka Atum Tem aka Alexander Braun. http://about.me/theUniverse http://theUniverse.name/ _______________________________________________________ *1 http://www.saatchionline.com/art/Painting-The-Birth-of-Time/328560/1788402/view *2 http://theuniverse.name/members/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=41&fullsize=1 *3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/AlexanderBraun *4 http://theuniverse.name/members/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=14&fullsize=1 *5 http://theuniverse.name/members/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pid=84#top_display_media == Summary == Pentagon Tile 2 by Alexander Braun (60x60) 3/10 flurecent acrylic with gold leif on canvas. Painted in May 2005 .Toronto .Ontario .Canada Inspired by quasi crystal's pentagon symmetry.

It is impossible to tile a pentagon with the same size pentagons in 2D plane without leaving unaccounted for space. By many many attempts were made to come up with a way to tile this basic geometric shape and some were successful, others managed to design nice images containing no tile pattern algorithm. On December 28, 2004, I was visiting my long-time friend Yehudah Lionel Cullman who showed me an [x-ray photo of a quasi-crystal] forming five-sided symmetry in a science book and said, that as far as he is aware there is still no known way to tile a pentagon. Inspired by an x-ray picture and challenged by a mystery of the pentagon tile I started to chart my attempt at the impossible. I have realized that the only way to tile a pentagon with only one size pentagons would be in 3D forming the fifth Platonic volume - dodecahedron (i.e. "two plus ten faces" in Greek), where the twelve pentagons enclose 3D space. Still, curious, I decided to try to design a pentagon pattern. I have noticed that at the centre of quasi-crystal photo were ten dots forming pentagons aligned in a perfect circle arranged as a ten-pointed star. The fact that here I see ten pentagons in a circle gave me an idea that if I only tile 1/10th slice of it, which is 360/10=36 degrees, then it would be enough to create a tile pattern. So, I drew one 36 degrees slice of infinity and placed one pentagon at the bottom corner of it where it perfectly matches the 108 degrees of the inner pentagon angles. The rest came in place naturally, as I just continued the pentagon lines to determine what other basic building shapes of the tile are there at the very bottom of the pentagon slice. Then I have discovered that only two isosceles triangles in golden mean to each other, with angles of 36'-72'-72' and 108'-36'-36' degrees, form the pentagon tile pattern. Therefore these two triangles can form a pentagon, or a star, or a perpetual fractal pentagonal pattern. The main dilemma for many who have tried to organize pentagons in a pattern is what to do with the unaccounted for space. In my attempt at it I have soon realized that the unaccounted space between pentagons when tiled within the 36 degrees slices form perfect stars, pentagrams, which makes total sense since it is the shape contained within the pentagon boundaries. The next challenge was to figure out the actual tiling algorithm of the pentagon tile's perpetual expansion of its infinite outer rings. I realized that whatever happens at the bottom is what happens at the top of it, only on a different scale. Soon I noticed that the ring of pentagons is followed by a ring of stars and then by pentagons again in a perpetual rotation based on the power of six, i.e. 6x6x6...: * 1, * 6, * 36, * 216 * 1296, * 46656, * 1679616, * 60466176, * 2176782336, * 78364164096, * 2821109907456, * 101559956668416, etc." Alexander Braun [http://theUniverse.name theUniverse.name]
