Babe Ruth - Home A Visual Representation Of The Relationship Between Science And Music | SF Globe Nigel John Stanford is a musician from New Zealand who is well-known for his work in the genres of Ambient and New Age music. In the video below, you can see a range of his musical abilities as he plays both a drum set and a piano while also rigging makeshift instruments from things like playing cards. This video is entitled 'Cymatics,' and cymatics is the science of creating visualizations of audio frequencies. On his website, Stanford explains how he became interested in visualizing sound: "In 1999 I watched a documentary on 'Synesthesia' - a disorder that effects the audio and visual functions of the brain. People with the disorder hear a sound when they see bright colors, or see a color when they hear various sounds. This got me thinking that it would be cool to make a music video where every time a sound plays, you see a corresponding visual element.
Poised: Derby stage set for Rosie Napravnik's charge at history | 2013 Kentucky Oaks & Derby | May 3 and 4, 2013 Rosie Napravnik (photo by: Liam Spradlin) Call Rosie Napravnik what you will – a trail blazer, a pioneer, a woman of extraordinary talents – but first there's this: The reason Napravnik is such a compelling story in the run-up to the Kentucky Derby has little to do with her gender and everything to do with the fact she is one of the world's best jockeys. So while Napravnik will try to strike a blow for aspiring female riders everywhere when she pilots Mylute in the Kentucky Derby – no woman has ever ridden a Derby winner – she also will try to do justice to the art and craft of race-riding. In the crucible of the Kentucky Derby, when split-second decisions can separate winners from also-rans, will Napravnik have the wherewithal to succeed? About that, horsemen say, there is little doubt. It probably goes without saying that Tom Amoss, the trainer of Mylute, is a big Napravnik fan. “Her biggest strength is tremendous knowledge of pace,” Amoss said.

DOEA Long Term Care Ombudsman Program Ombudsmen Persist in Efforts to Bring About Positive Change for Florida’s Long-Term Care Facility Residents By Jim Crochet State Long-Term Care Ombudsman I wish to bring to your attention inaccurate information that has been floating around regarding the operation of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program and the work of the program’s 300 plus volunteers. Some of you may be aware of two recent opinion pieces run in the Treasure Coast (TC) Palm titled “Families Feel Powerless Against Elder Abuse” and “Our Seniors are at Even Greater Risk.” The duties, responsibilities, and advocacy work of the program has not changed. It would be a shame if that fine work was stained by inaccurate information in an attempt to derail our program. There are over 168,000 beds in Florida’s long-term care facilities with residents served by countless donated hours of our selfless volunteer ombudsmen. As always, when we receive complaints, we respond. And the year is far from over.

Une femme passe 14 années de sa vie à photographier les arbres les plus vieux du monde. Le résultat: des photos fascinantes d'arbres majestueux Beth Moon, une photographe basée à San Francisco, a été à la recherche des plus vieux arbres du monde durant ces 14 dernières années. Elle a ainsi voyagé partout dans le monde pour capturer les plus beaux arbres poussant dans des endroits éloignés et semblant aussi vieux que le monde lui-même. « Dressés comme les plus importants et les plus anciens monuments vivants de la terre, je crois que ces arbres symboliques auront une importance accrue, en particulier à un moment où notre attention est dirigée à trouver de meilleures façons de vivre avec l’environnement», écrit Moon. Ses photos ont été publiées dans un livre intitulé « Ancient Trees: Portraits Of Time ». Ici vous pouvez avoir un aperçu de l’ouvrage, rempli des arbres les plus étranges et fascinants de la planète.
