During a 1906 meeting of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Sir William Turner submitted part three of his research "Contributions to the Craniology of the People of the Empire of India." Meet the original thugs. The word "thug" traces its roots to the Hindi and Urdu word thag, which means thief or swindler, and which itself is derived from the Sanskrit verb sthagati (to conceal).

DIY 360 Degree SODAR Device First off, why did we decide to call this thing SODAR? SOnic Detection and Ranging, or SODAR, is a lot like SONAR and RADAR. However, we don't feel comfortable calling it SONAR because we have no desire to use it for navigation and we aren't under water. Also, it's definitely not RADAR as we are using ultrasonic pulses, not radio waves to find objects. With the technicalities out of the way, here are the project's objectives: 1) To create a freely rotatable SODAR system that can continuously detect objects 2) To create a UI that displays objects similarly to radar 3) To make it as portable as possible To accomplish objective #1, we need a way to prevent wires from tangling while the motor spins. While it seems to go against objective #3, we decided to go with the rotating electrical connection idea. Future Work Suggestion: Use wireless transceivers so the project can be placed in one area and send data to the laptop in another area. Collaborator:

Here are the rules: I’ve been at zero a few times, come back a few times, and done it over and over. I’ve started entire new careers. I’ve had to change careers several times. There are other ways to reinvent yourself, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I’ve seen it work for maybe a few hundred other people. A) Reinvention never stops. Every day you reinvent yourself. B) You start from scratch. Every label you claim you have from before is just vanity. C) You need a mentor. Else, you’ll sink to the bottom. D) Three types of mentors Direct. E) Don’t worry if you don’t have passion for anything. You have passion for your health. F) Time it takes to reinvent yourself: five years.

Des nus de Velásquez, Matisse, Duchamp etc. recréés par des étudiants en art ART - Personne ne s'est dévoué pour "jouer" L'Origine du monde de Gustave Courbet mais les étudiants de l'école des arts visuels de New York ont rejoué des nus célèbres dans une série de photographies baptisées Artsy Nudes et visibles ci-dessous, prises par Matthew Leifheit. Les œuvres sont exposées temporairement dans une galerie de la Grosse Pomme. Interrogé par le HuffPost américain, Leifheit, qui a collaboré pour les magazine Vice et MATTE, rappelle dans un email que "les nus sont à la mode aujourd'hui". La consigne de ce projet était simple: choisir un nu dans l'Histoire de l'art et le recréer. La Danse de Matisse AFTER HENRI MATISSE. Certaines imitations paraissent proches de leur modèle, d'autres s'en écartent. AFTER MARCEL DUCHAMP. Ce n'est pas la première fois que Leifheit s'amuse à jouer avec de célèbres icônes. AFTER DIEGO VELÁZQUEZ. Sur les liens avec l'industrie pornographique, le photographe reste élusif. Découvrez quelques reconstitutions ci-dessous: AFTER RYAN MCGINLEY.
