Data | Personal data for sale NYU ITP graduate student Federico Zannier collected data about himself — online browsing, location, and keystrokes — for his thesis. As he dug into personal data more and looked closer at company privacy policies, he wondered what it might be like if individuals profited from their own data. That is, companies make money using the data we passively generate while we browse and use applications and visit sites. Enter Zannier's Kickstarter campaign to sell his own data for $2 per day of activity. I started looking at the terms of service for the websites I often use. Clearly this is more of a statement and conversation starter, but what if? There's about a week left in the campaign, and it's well past the goal.
Open Source Ecology Psychology | The Trauma & Mental Health Report Farm School NYC In-Vesica Beginnings Healer In-Vesica mixed media collage by Allison L. Williams Hill The beginnings of understanding and communing with Spirit in-vesica move us to our origin but, in this world, feels like a strange state. Being lead in faith is not a lesson most of us receive while we are impressionable. When we step over the threshold after trusting that which is unseen, a tremendous load of skepticism, distrust, and uncertainty lifts. Vesica Piscis is the geometric term for two circles intersecting each circle's center. It is within that space where a medium is receptive to all kinds of knowledge and gathers information; a psychic "sees" any existence past, present or future, and a healer administers energy to a being in need. River II by Allison L. A medium bridges the physical world and the spiritual world, the seen and the unseen. <A HREF=" The books above are only some of what I've come across over the years. in-vesica.

A Pyramid Map of the World’s Biomes Pyramids don’t occur naturally (1). But this strange pyramid maps a lot of things that do. They’re called biomes, and they are arranged pyramidally to show where, why and how they occur. A biome is a biological community of flora and fauna that has formed in response to a certain climate type. Add ‘em all up, and you have a biosphere - our biosphere. As indicated below and to the right of the pyramid, the two main determinants for each biome are temperature (hot/cold) and moisture (wet/dry). The temperature factor has to do with a biome’s longitudinal location: hotter near the equator, colder near the poles (and also with its altitude: higher means colder). This pyramid is an abstract rendition of either half of the globe: the same biomes can occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres. The next level of the pyramid is occupied by boreal forests, also known as taiga (loaned by Russian from Yakut, where it means ‘impassable forest’). Strange Maps #859 Got a strange map?
Profiles: The Demon-Lover “The Hour of the Wolf,” a film that is probably the darkest of Ingmar Bergman’s journeys into his shadowy interior, the protagonist, an artist beset by night sweats, is fishing off a craggy promontory on an island where he has come to live. A pesky young boy materializes and by degrees invades the artist’s tranquillity. They grapple; the boy scrambles onto the artist’s back, tearing at his neck and trying to devour him. The artist smashes the boy against the cliff, then beats his head in with a rock, and finally, with a curious gentleness, lowers the vanquished demon of childhood into the sea. The flat, windswept island in “The Hour of the Wolf” (1968) recalls Fårö, in the Baltic Sea, where Bergman, now eighty, spends most of his time. Bergman, who watches “The Phantom Carriage” once a year on Fårö, and who cast Sjöström memorably as the aging professor in “Wild Strawberries” (1957), also revisits his family in his work, but his method is the opposite of Lagerlöf’s idealization.
Vagina: A New Biography Georgia O’Keeffe’s work became increasingly revolutionary at the same time that she began a highly erotic relationship with photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Gertrude Stein also experienced a great leap forward in her work, both in its experimentation and its sensuality, following her relationship with Alice B. Toklas. And for Edith Wharton, Emma Goldman and Kate Chopin, periods of great creativity and daring in their lives and work all coincided with periods of sexual awakening. Could a profound connection between a woman’s brain and her experience of her vagina affect her greater sense of creativity—even her consciousness? Spurred by the experience of an unexpected medical crisis – an injured pelvic nerve that temporarily affected her own physical sensation – Wolf set out to uncover why and how the brain and vagina are really best understood as “one system.” Be Sociable, Share!
Raw | The Sunfood Diet Weekly Guideline and Menu Plan Green-Leafy Vegetables, Fruits, and Fats: A fruit is any natural food containing seeds (e.g. tomato is a fruit, cucumber is a fruit). Eat fruits with seeds (avoid seedless hybrid fruit). All types of vegetables are great, however, preference should be given to green-leafed vegetables. All types of raw plant foods which contain fats help transition over from cooked foods to The Raw-Food Diet. If one is sensitive to sugar, it is a good idea to add oils (flax, olive, etc.) to smoothies or fruit salads. Eat nuts and seeds moderately. All daily menus should contain a healthy balance of green-leafed vegetables (i.e. chard, collards, lettuces, kale, spinach, etc.), sugary fruits (oranges, melons, mangos, papayas, etc.), and fatty foods (i.e. avocados, olives, nuts, seeds, etc.). Salad Dressings: For salad dressings combine a raw plant fat with a sugar. Water: The amount of water one drinks should be dictated by thirst. All beers are brewed (cooked). Chewing: Transitional Strategy: Be flexible.
Bentonite clay - Powder Bulk Herb Store Order Toll-Free (877) 278-4257 Herbs: Bentonite Clay - Powder Origin: USA Bentonite Clay: Bentonite clay has been gaining popularity in recent years as an internal and external cleanser for very good reasons. Why our Bentonite Clay? Not all Bentonite Clay is created equal, most of it is not mined for internal use or sifted as finely as it should be. How It Works: Bentonite Clay is a very unique substance, formed primarily of Montmorillonite, which is an extremely flat crystal flake, that carries a relatively strong negative ionic charge. Sodium Bentonite The Sodium Bentonite has the highest Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and the higher the CEC of the clay the stronger the negative charge. Calcium Bentonite: Calcium Bentonite does not swell as much as Sodium Bentonite and while that makes it less effective as a detoxing agent it is more effective as a remineralizer. Bentonite Clay and your pH Balance Bentonite Clay and wildlife: Bentonite Clay Toothpaste: Bentonite Clay Mask: Hello!
CourseWiki - CS448B Data Visualization The world is awash with increasing amounts of data, and we must keep afloat with our relatively constant perceptual and cognitive abilities. Visualization provides one means of combating information overload, as a well-designed visual encoding can supplant cognitive calculations with simpler perceptual inferences and improve comprehension, memory, and decision making. Furthermore, visual representations may help engage more diverse audiences in the process of analytic thinking. In this course we will study techniques and algorithms for creating effective visualizations based on principles from graphic design, visual art, perceptual psychology, and cognitive science. In addition to participating in class discussions, students will have to complete several short programming and data analysis assignments as well as a final project. There are no prerequisites for the class and the class is open to graduate students as well as advanced undergraduates. Schedule Tu Sep 28: Visualization Design
