Global Consciousness Project Break Line: Stephanie Gilmore Slicing her way through breaking waves, professional surfer Stephanie Gilmore stars in Trestles Forever, filmed on the Pacific Ocean by NOWNESS regular Todd Cole. The 24-year-old Gilmore rose to international prominence in 2007 when she seized the Women’s World Title for the first time, an award she has regained in four of the five years since. “I love working with people from outside the world of surfing,” says the New South Wales native. Location The Trestles, San Diego County. Shoot duration One day; a few hours in the morning, then off on a boat looking for clear pools of water, and then another hour of surfing at sunset. Number of waves surfed 16. Number of surf choreographers used One: Sonny Miller. Camera s Two Arri 16mm film cameras in custom-made underwater housings. Food consumed on set Bagels and cream cheese, chips, guacamole and salsa. Drink consumed on set Water, coconut water and some tequila at the end of the day. Approximate calories burned surfing 1,428.

The Best Ayahuasca Animations You Can Find Online (2008-2018) | Kahpi What are ayahuasca animations? Psychedelic luminaries such as Terence McKenna, Timothy Leary and John Lilly shared a vision. They understood the psychedelic experience through the use of metaphors and symbols, or a kind of “twisted language” to use a saying from the Yaminahua native ayahuasca drinkers of the Amazon rainforest. The computer metaphor has its limitations, just like the mechanical metaphors that were popular to think with during the industrial age had their limitations. The result can be nothing short of eye-bending, mind-candy that opens a portal of the soul through the interface of your screen. Artists and animators have been attracted to the vividness, beauty and complexity of ayahuasca visions. One limitation of using computer-based metaphors to understand reality and psychedelic experience comes from the objectivist stance on reality the metaphors imply. Our previous experiences and beliefs shape our psychedelic experiences. Or maybe culture is not so important.
Audun MYSKJA, Médecine énergétique – une discipline émergeante | Effiworld Audun Myskja, médecin et docteur-ès-sciences, a travaillé depuis les années 1970 pour développer la médecine intégrative, cherchant à faire une synthèse entre la précision scientifique des nouvelles technologies de médicine et les traditions de guérison naturelles. Il a écrit plusieurs livres à ce sujet, a publié un nombre important d’études et de publications scientifiques et il anime une quantité conséquente de séminaires en Norvège et à l’étranger. Il a reçu le Prix Qualité de l’Association Médicale Norvégienne (Norwegian Medical Association) pour sa recherche dans ce domaine. Audun Myskja est formé à la thérapie musicale neurologique et a dirigé et conseillé un certain nombre de projets nationaux et internationaux dans l’objectif de trouver des solutions de santé efficaces pour des maladies chroniques au travers de la musique, le son et le rythme. CONFERENCE : Médecine énergétique – une discipline émergeante WORKSHOP: Le “Toning” – la pratique du son thérapeutique
Demon Days: Alvin Leung Amid tentacles and open flames, the self-professed “Demon Chef” Alvin Leung reveals a wicked palate and a penchant for carnal creations in this short by filmmaker Ryan Hopkinson. Born in London and raised in Toronto, Leung rose to prominence in Hong Kong, becoming known for what he calls “X-treme Chinese” cuisine, a far-out technique that harnesses the futuristic appeal of molecular gastronomy alongside the wide reach of fusion. The incendiary results both morph traditional Chinese recipes into kinky culinary experiences, and tackle off-the-plate issues: the self-taught chef’s signature dish, Sex on the Beach, serves up an edible “condom” on a shitake beach, created to raise funds and awareness for AIDS charity. With all the different genres of cooking out there today, why choose “X-treme Cuisine”? I want to give people something more than tags like fusion, molecular or modern contemporary. What inspires your X-treme recipes? How might you adapt a classic, familiar dish?
Sex-terapi med Joan Ørting | Sex-terapi for åbne mikrofoner Alice & Bob communiquent autrement... - IRIS Intuition Consulting Découverte d’une forme de communication immatérielle. La communication entre deux personnes peut se faire sans échange de particules. Un physicien de l’Université Texas A&M, Suhail Zubairy, et des chercheurs du Centre National de Mathématique et de Physique d’Arabie Saoudite, dont Hatim Salih, viennent de développer un moyen de communiquer sans utiliser de particules physiques, suggérant ainsi que l’information peut voyager d’une manière inhabituelle. Dans leur article présentant leur découverte, les chercheurs décrivent une interaction, une communication donc, entre « Alice » et « Bob » en utilisant un dispositif s’appuyant sur un effet quantique (voir articles référencés en bas de page pour le détail du dispositif). Avec ce dispositif, une information peut être échangée entre Alice et Bob sans qu’aucune particule (par exemple un photon, l’unité électromagnétique de lumière) ne passe à travers le canal de communication.

Sigur Rós: Valtari The Restaurateur Makes His London Debut With a New Sex Shop Fronted Mexican Joint Chorizo, lobster and lime reveal their unexpectedly lascivious side in still life photographers Metz + Racine’s saucy homage to London’s newest hotspot, La Bodega Negra. Using a color palette and mini-sets inspired by the Mexican architect Luis Barragán, Metz + Racine enlisted ingredients from the eatery’s menu. Hidden in a Soho basement behind a sex shop entryway that nods to the neighborhood’s notoriously kinky past, the restaurant offers an unabashedly large tequila selection, plenty of dimly lit corners and Mexican staples like ceviche, tacos and tostados, in addition to grill items like lamb barbacoa. (There is a to-go option from a more casual, upstairs taqueria). What are the crucial components of an excellent Mexican meal? The heart of the cuisine is the salsa. The space has some really playful elements, but also lots of moody, dark alcoves. How does the restaurant scene here differ from New York?
Birthday Episode: 12 Life Lessons I’ve Learned This Year by On Purpose with Jay Shetty Alice and Bob communicate without transferring a single photon Researchers in Saudi Arabia and the US say that two people equipped with suitable optical devices should in principle be able to exchange information without transferring even a single photon. The work is based on an idea put forward by Israeli physicists Avshalom Elitzur and Lev Vaidman in 1993 known as interaction-free measurements. This involves using light to detect the presence of an object without actually bouncing any photons off it. In the latest work, a team of scientists from the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and Texas A&M University (TAMU) aimed to find out whether it was possible to use interaction-free measurements to communicate actual messages rather than simply keys. Diamond patterns At the heart of the system designed by the KACST–TAMU team is a series of highly reflective beam splitters. The second beam splitter is placed at the point where the two paths meet and Bob has a second detector behind that device. There is a snag, however.
