today + yesterday at Exhara.

I sometimes go visit the old sim locations that I know.
Even though it is in the Virtual World, its interesting to see how it has evolved.
Exhara was a lyrical jazzy place w stylish interiors.  Yesterday I went to visit, it is now a sailing club with a map of sl.  This map is interesting.  Even though the blue grass patch is gone. 

Has the club moved? Or in storage?
The Virtual World is only interesting if the graphics and people in it are into something they love.  If it is a replacement for real life business enterprise, it is but a rough reproduction of real life.  

Sl is a very good mock up of real life.

Pendum Waves, Hiroshi Ishii, Banff World Media Festival 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhMiuzyU1ag 

Pendulm Wave Demonstration

 

Published on Sep 7, 2014
This is a large-scale demonstration of the interaction between period and pendulum length, using 16 bowling balls hung from a wooden frame.

Here are answers to some common questions:

** What am I seeing? How does this work? **
The length of time it takes a ball to swing back and forth one time to return to its starting position is dependent on the length of the pendulum, not the mass of the ball. A longer pendulum will take longer to complete one cycle than a shorter pendulum. The lengths of the pendula in this demonstration are all different and were calculated so that in about 2:40, the balls all return to the same position at the same time - in that 2:40, the longest pendulum (in front) will oscillate (or go back and forth) 50 times, the next will oscillate 51 times, and on to the last of the 16 pendula which will oscillate 65 times. Try counting how many times the ball in front swings back and forth in the time it takes the balls to line up again, and then count how many times the ball in back swings back and forth in the same time (though it's much harder to keep your eye on the ball in back!)

** Who made this? **
This was made by Jeff Goodman, who teaches at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Jeff has some more information and videos about the making of this pendulum wave at http://celophoto.blogspot.com/2012/03...

** Why are they not perfect at the end? **
This large frame is built from wood and is outdoors, which means it expands, contracts, and flexes. Because the position of the frame changes, the cycle lengths are not perfectly aligned. Variable energy loss due to air friction and the striking of the pipe at the bottom (which creates the music) also contribute to differences. Over time, the minor differences become more pronounced.

** Can I get a copy of this video to use in my classroom? **
You are encouraged to use this video for educational purposes! If you are sharing online, please link back to this video. Contact me if you want to use it in other ways or if you need a higher-quality version. This video is available under Creative Commons license BY-SA: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

** How can I make my own? Where can I learn more? **
Here are some links to information about the physics behind this. I don’t have the plans for it, but work through the information at these links and design your own - you’ll learn a lot about physics, math, and construction!

-- Harvard demo page: http://bit.ly/1qJkBr2
-- AJP paper: http://bit.ly/1xOcYUO
-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6U-0...

** Where is this? **
It was built on private property in the mountains of North Carolina (United States), near Burnsville. It is not open to the public. However, Jeff Goodman and I recommend some places near this that work to make the magic of the natural world a part of everyday life. The joy and wonder in our world that these places foster is *exactly* what drives the creation of amazing things like this pendulum wave!

-- For all the kids in your life, check out Camp Celo: http://campcelo.com
This is a farm-home camp for kids 7-12 (and older kids can work there!). It’s a wonderful place for kids to experience the natural world with independence and joy. No electronic entertainment, just the home-grown variety like this pendulum wave. If you don’t have kids to send there, make a donation to Friends of Camp Celo (http://friendsofcampcelo.org) to help send a child to camp who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go. (I am on the Board of this all-volunteer nonprofit and this video was taken at one of their events.)

-- Right next door is the Arthur Morgan School (AMS): http://arthurmorganschool.org
AMS is a progressive boarding and day school for 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, located on 100 acres of farm and wilderness. At AMS, students learn to question, evaluate, think creatively and work cooperatively.

3 string fretless board zither

http://www.guitarmoderne.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/dino-gq.jpg
This electric instrument is technically a 3-string fretless board zither, played flat lap style with the highest string closest to the player (like a Guqin or a mountain dulcimer). It is strung with the 3 lowest strings of an electric guitar: a .048 tuned up to G, a .044 tuned to A, and a .034 tuned to DGAD is a folded fifth tuning, which gives you open intervals of a major second (G-A), a fourth (A-D), and a fifth (G-D)

The Transparent Frog


transparent

This awesome see-through frog reminds us of an educational statue you’d see in your biology class… a statue that would likely have several missing pieces and gum stuck inside. This unusual frog is known as Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum. But since that is unpronounceable to everyone except Wookies most people simply call them glass or crystal frogs for obvious reasons.

Jim and Hilda's Lucky New Year Couplet

wood block from stumps : burl to block; cactus juice; sharpening chainsaw; joints; sharpening axe; die grinder

 
 
A die grinder, also known as a rotary tool, is a handheld power tool used for grinding, sanding, honing, polishing, or machining material (typically metal, but also plastic or wood). They are usually pneumatically driven, although electric and flexible shaft drive also exist. Their name comes from one of their earliest and archetypal applications, tool and die work, where they were used to create the precise contours of dies or molds. Especially before the advent of widespread CNC usage, they were heavily relied upon for contouring via manual skill comparable to a sculptor's. CNC now provides much of the contouring for die and mold interior surfaces, but die grinders are still very useful for hundreds of cutting needs, from sculpture-like contouring in the absence of CNC, to cut-off of bar stock, to any of the cutting and grinding needs of fabrication, such as in the work of welders, boilermakers, millwrights, ironworkers (steel erectors), sheet metal workers (such as auto body workers and HVAC technicians), to woodworking (especially cabinet making), hacking, and other hobby or business pursuits. Die grinders are often used for engraving, cylinder head porting, and general shaping of a part.[1]

Psychiatrist letter to the young, on FB :: On Fifty shades of grey

Shuengit Chow  

There has been quite a few movies out about bdsm/ various "refined forms of sex play" whether in private home, or clubs, or formal semi-public scenarios, and, also in virtual worlds - very well made, high quality graphics - many many types of play acting... apparently its a game favored by intellectuals - the movie I havent seen it - but because it is a movie, its main purpose is to make commercial success, its not there to "teach" you anything or "cure" you etc. From all the talk, I doubt its anything more than populariing the "thrill" of unknown for the general public. As for bdsm etc, there are famous court cases and report/ficitonal/docu accounts of real life stories a few years ago - concerning a banker and his lover - that is probably as much reality as you will get. And such stories are usually sordid at the expense of the weaker person in the story. Young people /20+ students often talk about bdsm as "playing sm". Its got a hidden glamour of a sort. Another movie which was banned for many years in UK, for cruelty, for a long time is "La Maitresse" with Depardieu and Bulle Ogier. However, I do think, if nobody even heard of it, the attraction is probably is stronger still. There are also sub culture - like bondage practices - in the documentary, by a documentary film maker. " practices; by Hito Steyerl, Detail from "Lovely Andrea", 2007. The world of profit making through sex, images, practices. One of the photographer said, the more the police restricts, bans these publications, the better the sales. Once its not banned, the business goes down hill.

Book review:繁花*****

繁花 ***** by 金宇澄, 
Shanghai, publ. online as a series, and published as a complete novel in 2012

 in Chinese, 2013, aug.  ed: Ink, Taiwan

Finished reading this unique, beautiful, sparkling book.
Took me a long time, because so many people coming and going
But what a book, from lawyer to hooker, everybody speaks about their lives.
There are external description, dialogue, clean, clip and economical, and super smart.
There characters with the many twists and turns, the strangely pitiful big shots and ill fated pretty girls.
The totally unshy country girls in hair salons
Old men dying, lovers taking leave of one another, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters
Lust, love, and sex.  Factual sex, no frilly romance.

This should a be very good book for an animation film - beautiful patterns, door ways revealing colorful people and clothing suddenly closing turning into a grey square.  Thats really animation technique.
And, of course, could be a film with real people too.

I could imagine different directors treating the novel in each their own ways.
Now, how many novels are capable of this?

At first glance, the work of Marc Fornes, founder of Brooklyn-based Marc Fornes/TheVeryMany, seems more like sculpture than architecture. His geometrically complex pieces, developed through computational design and fabrication, include museum installations, public art, and pop-up environments. They appear to take their cues from natural forms including those of crustaceans, plants, and wild animals. But Fornes, who is a native of France but moved to New York in 2006 to work for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, insists that his approach is that of an architect rather than a sculptor. TheVeryMany's formal language, he says, is the product of exploiting curvature to make efficient structures. “With each project, we are trying to produce space and structure,” he explains. - See more at: http://archrecord.construction.com/features/designvanguard/2013/1312-Marc-Fornes-TheVeryMany.asp#sthash.ZkVGP3lE.dpuf



Fornes's objects are usually comprised of thousands of flat elements—hence the name TheVeryMany. These are cut with a computer numerical control (CNC) machine from sheets of aluminum and are held together with rivets to form self-supporting skins. And, although they do not provide shelter in the conventional sense, the finished works define space and are often large enough to occupy. One example is Double Agent White, which Fornes designed and built in 2012 while an artist-in-residence at the Atelier Calder in Saché, France. Made of weblike aluminum surfaces describing nine intersecting spheres, it is now at the FRAC Centre in Orléans (record, October 2013, page 80), where visitors can walk under the roughly 11-foot-tall canopy, 20 feet in diameter, and circulate around its supporting “trunks.” - See more at: http://archrecord.construction.com/features/designvanguard/2013/1312-Marc-Fornes-TheVeryMany.asp#sthash.ZkVGP3lE.dpuf

A small studio deploys computational design and digital fabrication to make inventive structures that define space.

At first glance, the work of Marc Fornes, founder of Brooklyn-based Marc Fornes/TheVeryMany, seems more like sculpture than architecture. His geometrically complex pieces, developed through computational design and fabrication, include museum installations, public art, and pop-up environments. They appear to take their cues from natural forms including those of crustaceans, plants, and wild animals. But Fornes, who is a native of France but moved to New York in 2006 to work for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, insists that his approach is that of an architect rather than a sculptor. TheVeryMany's formal language, he says, is the product of exploiting curvature to make efficient structures. “With each project, we are trying to produce space and structure,” he explains.
Fornes's objects are usually comprised of thousands of flat elements—hence the name TheVeryMany. These are cut with a computer numerical control (CNC) machine from sheets of aluminum and are held together with rivets to form self-supporting skins. And, although they do not provide shelter in the conventional sense, the finished works define space and are often large enough to occupy. One example is Double Agent White, which Fornes designed and built in 2012 while an artist-in-residence at the Atelier Calder in Saché, France. Made of weblike aluminum surfaces describing nine intersecting spheres, it is now at the FRAC Centre in Orléans (record, October 2013, page 80), where visitors can walk under the roughly 11-foot-tall canopy, 20 feet in diameter, and circulate around its supporting “trunks.”
Although Fornes has not yet completed any buildings, his projects nevertheless involve a host of practical, real-world concerns. For instance, TheVeryMany served as executive architect for a pop-up store at Selfridges in London that was the product of a collaboration between artist Yayoi Kusama and Louis Vuitton. Here, Fornes had to devise components that would be small and light enough to easily maneuver inside the department store, but also large enough to minimize the need for on-site assembly. The resulting environment, which features elements reminiscent of pumpkins or sea urchins perforated by Kusama's signature dots, represents a technical innovation, says Fornes. It is the first self-supported carbon-fiber shell used in a work of architecture.
Fornes and his team of five employees—all of whom are trained as architects—perform almost every stage of the work themselves. They take each project from conceptual design through development of fabrication files, and they ultimately assemble the pieces on-site. Only one step—the cutting and milling—is performed by others. This process, says Fornes, gives him tight control over the finished product.
TheVeryMany has begun to win more traditional types of architectural commissions: the firm was recently selected for an open-air theater in Columbia, Maryland, and has a house under construction in Fornes's hometown of Strasbourg. Fornes hopes that as his projects grow in size and complexity, there will still be opportunities to build smaller-scale pieces. These are the kinds of projects, he says, that allow him to keep testing new ideas in design and fabrication.
