(1) Making Nothing Happen: Yeats, Heidegger, Pessoa, and the Emergence of Post-Romanticism | James Corby
Humanities 1192. Early German Romanticism German Romanticism emerged out of a crisis in philosophy. failure of reflectivethought and thereby rupturing the subjectivism of thought’s finite, conceptualizing grasp, a spacemight be created in the artwork in which that which exceeds ordinary consciousness—variouslyreferred to as the absolute, being, or the unconditioned—may come forth and show itself in all of itsstrangeness and ungraspability. Thus, in the wake of philosophy’s seemingly futile endeavors, the most thatcan be achieved for Friedrich Schlegel (1772–1829) (and, to some degree, for Novalis (1772–1801)and perhaps even for Hölderlin (1770–1843)), using terminology influenced by Fichte even as herebels against him, is an alternating proof ( Wechselerweis ), a wavering ( Schweben between the day and anight that is completely other, between life and a visionary, Orpheus-like death ([14], pp. 193–195; [16], pp. 175–176; [17]; [4], pp. 264–266; [18], pp. 163–170). autopoietic
How to Build a Solar Heating Panel with Soda Cans
If you’ve got good sun exposure on one side of your house, you can take advantage of free heat from the sun with this DIY solar heating panel, which uses old soda cans to collect and transfer the sun’s energy into your house. Sometimes, low-tech solar devices are much better than high-tech ones for home use, as they not only tend to be cheaper to make, but will also last much longer before any repairs or maintenance are necessary. And even better, they can be built in part from repurposed or recycled components, which is something you don’t see very often in new solar devices. This solar space heater design uses old soda cans to increase the surface area for heat transfer inside of it, and in its most basic design, uses no external power to move the air. Double-glazed glass or polycarbonate panels make up the front of the device, allowing the sun’s rays to enter it while restricting heat loss to the outside air, and the box is also insulated for more efficiency.

Mathematics in Art and Architecture
Welcome to Mathematics in Art and Architecture! Course Content Additional Information Objectives of the Module The goal of the course is to study connections between mathematics and art and architecture. You will see how mathematics is not just about formulas and logic, but about patterns, symmetry, structure, shape and beauty. After taking this course you will look at the world with new eyes and notice mathematical structures around you. Topics to be Covered We start by studying tilings. Practical Information and Assessment This course is one of the new General Education Modules at the NUS. I will be away on conference leave from 6/1/04 to 12/1/04, so there will be no lectures on Tuesday 6/1 and Friday 9/1. There will be three hours of lectures and one hour of large group tutorial each week. I use a cordless microphone and walk around in class and ask questions. If you send me e-mail, please use the module code GEK1518 in the subject. The final exam counts 40% of your grade. IVLE Course Page
Mathematical Art of M.C. Escher
For me it remains an open question whether [this work]pertains to the realm of mathematics or to that of art. —M.C. Escher Introduction Self Portrait, 1948 Maurits Cornelis Escher created unique and fascinating works of art that explore and exhibit a wide range of mathematical ideas. He was born in Leeuwarden, Holland in 1898, and when he was in school his family planned for him to follow his father’s career of architecture. His work went almost unnoticed until the 1950’s, but by 1956 he had given his first important exhibition, was written up in Time magazine, and acquired a world-wide reputation. Escher-like motif on a building in The Hague, Netherlands. His work eventually appeared not only in printed form, but as commissioned or imitative sculptures on public buildings, as decorations on everything from neckties to mousepads, and in software written to automate the reproduction and manipulation of tesselations.

6 Insane Coincidences You Won't Believe Actually Happened
America's Freak Luck During the Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway may be remembered as one of the most spectacular naval battles in history and one of the huge turning points in the Pacific theater, but it started out as a pure clusterfuck for the Americans. Despite going into battle with most of Japan's game plan in their pocket thanks to American codebreakers/Bothan spies, the U.S. Where it Gets Weird: There was one squadron of American dive bombers lead by Lieutenant Commander C. His squadron started dropping like flies until, in an act of sheer luck that would make even J.K. Where it Gets Even Weirder: While finding the ships at all was luck, by some kind of ridiculous freak luck McClusky's squadron arrived at the precise moment when all three Japanese carriers were reloading and rearming their aircraft. It'd be like this happening four times, and all in one battle. ...when he wasn't busy being a pimp. Commence mindfucking. Or, you know, two. Also on July Fourth.
Crayon Art
they are all over pinterest....(i still am not signed up for pinterest because i don't have time for one more thing but browsing is fun!) so we made one. i took a box of 64 crayons and took out the blacks and browns.i used another small box and doubled up on the good colors i liked and hot glued them to the top of our canvas. then we turned our blow dryer to hot on high. not long after you set the hair dryer by the crayons they get shiny and then the wax starts to melt! and it dries really quickly too. seriously. what could be happier than this?? GREAT project. loved it today is the first FULL day with ALL my kids in ALL day school.yeah...i am smiling as i type that. it's good. it's quiet. i am rockin' it. removing wallpaper.....making code for craft weekend stuff.....doing my hair....going to lunch..... it's all good. hooray for school!
