Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

tradition and change

People often migrate, whether in real life or in Sci-fi stories. It's interesting to contemplate what traditions get taken and carry on unchanged, what gets changed over time, and what gets left behind. It's worth noting that every tradition serves or served some important purpose to the practicing culture. The needs of a society change and, thus, the traditions are also changed.
