Audiopad Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music. One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples, juxtapose archived recordings against warm synthetic melodies, cut between drum loops to create new beats, and apply digital processing all at the same time on the same table. Audiopad not only allows for spontaneous reinterpretation of musical compositions, but also creates a visual and tactile dialogue between itself, the performer, and the audience. Audiopad has a matrix of antenna elements which track the positions of electronically tagged objects on a tabletop surface. It does not use cameras or computer vision. Audiopad was developed by James Patten and Ben Recht.

L'arrivée - 84° SLMM Longwy-Luxembourg Troisième partie : Enfin nous voici dans la mer de Chine, nous allons atteindre la côte indochinoise et terminer en beauté la traversée. Au début de l’après-midi nous apercevons notre première jonque chinoise, magnifique avec ses grandes voiles multicolores et son poste de pilotage en bois sculpté et verni. L’aube n’a pas encore fait poindre la clarté que nous arrivons au Cap St Jacques. Un pilote, spécialement entrainé pour cette manœuvre vient d’embarquer. C’est l’eau de la rivière qui nous déçoit par sa teinte jaunâtre et terreuse contrastant étrangement avec la luxuriante végétation . Sur les ponts avant et arrière des sections de mitrailleuses ont été mises en position de combat, les armes braquées face aux rives et seuls leurs servants doivent rester à découvert. Nous apercevons enfin les premiers éléments de SAIGON . Nous sommes le 18 août 1949. Heureusement que la chance ne m’a pas abandonné. Emile GINEPRO

Save Food from the Fridge by Jihyun Ryou Although we seem to think and talk about food almost constantly, do we really know how best to preserve it or do we leave this responsibility to technology? Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Jihyun Ryou feels we no longer understand how to treat food. Her Save Food from the Fridge project involves placing certain foods on a group of "knowledge shelves" outside the fridge. Perhaps through a better relationship with our food we may be able to waste less and conserve more energy. The ethylene gas produced by apples keeps potatoes from sprouting. Storing root vegetables vertically keeps them fresher longer. The umpteen tiny holes on the surface of an eggshell allows odors from other foods to be absorbed, so keeping them out of the fridge will ensure their tastiness. The glass cup of water is used to test freshness: a fresh egg will sink and remain horizontal. Fruit vegetables such as zucchini, aubergines, peppers and cucumbers are better off outside the fridge, placed above a water tray.
Famille Saint-Jacques de Compostelle Moon Phases / Lunar Phases Explained Have you ever wondered what causes the moon phases? We all know that its appearance changes over time. But why? ©MoonConnection.com All Rights Reserved. Diagram Explanation The illustration may look a little complex at first, but it's easy to explain. Sunlight is shown coming in from the right. One important thing to notice is that exactly one half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun. So the basic explanation is that the lunar phases are created by changing angles (relative positions) of the earth, the moon and the sun, as the moon orbits the earth. If you'd like to examine the phases of the moon more closely, via computer software, you may be interested in this moon phases calendar software. Moon Phases Simplified It's probably easiest to understand the moon cycle in this order: new moon and full moon, first quarter and third quarter, and the phases in between. As shown in the above diagram, the new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and sun. The Moon's Orbit
Meditation found to increase brain size Kris Snibbe/Harvard News Office Sara Lazar (center) talks to research assistant Michael Treadway and technologist Shruthi Chakrapami about the results of experiments showing that meditation can increase brain size. People who meditate grow bigger brains than those who don’t. Researchers at Harvard, Yale, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found the first evidence that meditation can alter the physical structure of our brains. In one area of gray matter, the thickening turns out to be more pronounced in older than in younger people. “Our data suggest that meditation practice can promote cortical plasticity in adults in areas important for cognitive and emotional processing and well-being,” says Sara Lazar, leader of the study and a psychologist at Harvard Medical School. The researchers compared brain scans of 20 experienced meditators with those of 15 nonmeditators. Study participants meditated an average of about 40 minutes a day.

Introduction The Outer Forces of Heaven are manifested through the Three Treasures: the combined energy field of the sun, moon, and stars. Some of the Five Elements’ correspondences between Heaven’s Treasures and the environment of Earth appear in Table1. Table 1. The body’s biorhythms are influenced by the cyclic energy changes of the sun, moon, and stars. Biorhythms also influence the time and severity of illnesses and the effects of drugs. 2. The Earth’s revolution about the sun causes seasonal energy changes in the organs and meridians of the body. The daily cycle of Heat, Blood, and Qi flow along the body’s twelve Meridians, Organs, and Skin Zones according to two hour time periods appears in Table 2. The fluctuations of Qi in Heaven and Man during the hours and months can be described by the Twelve Pi Hexagrams shown in Table 2. The Yin Yao Cycles The Yang Yao Cycle 1. 2. 3. 4. Table 3. 3. 4. 1.
