LEAF++: Transformative Landscapes
+ Interview, Statement, Artwork [LINK]

by Salvatore Iaconesi, Luca Simeone, Oriana Persico, Cary Hendrickson

“Landscapes mark a certain terrain, delineating here from there and beyond: places and spaces of reference for our memories, our actions, helping us to place our being in specific moments. From private gardens to rolling hillsides in the country, landscapes represent overlapping visions of what is universal and at the same time personal. A multi-sensory experience we build and engage in anywhere, at any time. LEAF++ is a presentation and research project, an attempt at combining what we experience as individuals and, through the use of open source augmented reality (AR), adding on to the layers of what can be experienced by the wider community of users of a given site. The AR system combines computer vision techniques and allows for interactive experiences, educational contents and other information to be attached to leaves and other parts of plants: users contribute their own images, video, audio or other multi-media information to existing data available such as information about the plant’s habitat and biophysical characteristics. The LEAF++ project has been applied to not only identify Gilles Clément’s Third Landscape but also create a transformative view on urban space and foster experiential, analytical and aesthetic links between a diverse audience’s visions, perceptions and behaviors.

Future Learning Spaces at Aalto University

Last year we attended the Designs on E-Learning 2011 Conference in Aalto University, Helsinki.

It was a brilliant conference, for both content and process, and was really focused on creating the best possible environment to allow free, open emergence of the expressions of the many areas of innovation on knowledge, learning and education practices which the impressive list of researchers and practitioners are leading in multiple parts of the world.

The great feeling and the effectiveness of discussion is reflected in the newly published proceedings of the conference.

Leaf++ an augmented reality concert for leaves (the making of)

This video shows the setup of the Leaf++ augmented reality performance.

This is the second component of the Leaf++ project, a collaborative environment which uses computer vision and augmented reality to recognize and identify leaves, allowing to use them to share information and media (which can be added to them using a mobile application) and to use them in performative environments.

Leaf++ augmented reality concert for leaves

Leaf++ augmented reality concert for leaves

This video shows the second component. Here, leaves can be used on a lightbox to be recognized by a webcam and computer vision algorithm using the leaf descriptors created using the mobile application.

When leaves are recognized, their contours are used in a sond synthesizer algorithm and can be played live.

As you can see in different parts of the video, fingers moving the leaves around the lightbox are recognized and tracked as blobs, but they don’t generate any sound, which only uses the contours of the recognized leaves.

An interesting experiment we performed (a short video coming up soon) uses basic sine waveforms generated using the amplitudes and moments of the leaves contours (HU invariant moments): when you close your eyes and listen to the sounds generated by different types of leaves, it is possible to recognize them, and this is a really interesting area for research dedicated to people with disabilities who might use these techniques as a way to identify objects around them.

This part of the project is implemented using openframeworks and a video is coming up soon documenting a version for iPhone and Android

more info about Leaf++ on the website:

Leaf++, a video of the first prototype

Leaf++ is an augmented reality and computer vision system which uses smartphones to recognize leaves found in the natural environment.

In this first promo video you will see some basic features of the system, embedded into a social network in which users share information on leaves: you can recognize a leaf using computer vision and write onto it.

People using Leaf++ on the a certain type of leaf will see the content written on it by previous users, thus enacting an ubiquitous social and knowledge network which is directly available in the natural environment.

Watch out for the next videos in which we will show an art performance in which leaves are used in an augmented reality concert using the shapes found in the natural environment to create live generative music and visuals.

Leaf++ will be officially presented at ISEA 2011 in Istanbul, and then at Mindtrek 2011, at DEOL 2011, and it has already been published on Parsons Journal for Information Mapping and on MediaDuemila.

Watch out for more presentations, publications and performances.

Leaf++ at Designs on E-Learning, in Finland

Leaf++ will be presented at the Designs on E-Learning conference in Helsinki, Finland.

From the conference website:

Future Learning Spaces
The notion of space regains fresh momentum every time we interact with the world around us. As mobile devices weave into the fabric of everyday life, we are no longer confined to a specific location, time and place in accessing and interacting with communications technologies. Interfaces become more adaptable and fluid according to the user’s needs; capable of switching seamlessly between augmented, real and virtual information and communication techniques and practices.

    Colette Carr breaks all kinds of ground with her SKITSZO EP series.

    First off she's releasing a series of four EPs comprising her full-length debut in two month-intervals until this June. The first two are available now. [at iTunes: Part 1 - Part 2] However, that's not the only trail she's blazing. Musically, Carr defies any and all categorization and claws her way into a stratosphere all her own. Merging together airtight rapping, hypnotic singing, and a sly groove, she's crafted a style that's both vulnerable and vivacious. She's ready to change the world, and she's got the talent and power to do so.

    In this exclusive with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino, Colette Carr talks SKITSZO and more.

    What's your vision for SKITSZO as a whole?

    I got frustrated with releasing singles because so much emphasis is focused on one song. The way I record is very on the spot, natural, and organic. It's a moment. When something is so zeroed in on, it frustrates me. I feel like everything is being picked apart like there are thousands of reasons behind my lyrics when really I just get in the studio, block out my thoughts, and write. Before I know it, a page is filled up. I think there's something really cool about that. I felt like if I were to pick some of my favorite songs, I foresaw all the bullshit to follow. For instance, on "Killswitch", I'm not really rapping so I could hear, "She's gone a different direction. She doesn't rap anymore". Lo and beheld, when I release "F16" two months later, it's like, "She's rapping again!" I called Martin Kierszenbaum, and I said, "We should light a fire under my ass and put some pressure under me. Let's start releasing tracks". He said, "How do you want to do that?" We thought it would be cool to release tracks as part of this EP series with two months in between and all new songs. I've made tons of songs so if I get my vocal cords cut in half by a machete, people will still get music. It's exciting to think I don't even know what I'll be releasing on the next EP. This idea came about, and we went into the studio and recorded. Everybody loved the idea.

    Is there a thematic thread?

    There is, but I don't think I thought about it. I just knew. In my head, the songs are like Pokemon. I know which ones work well together. They all have personalities, and I have different sides to me, which works with the title SKITSZO. So, I wouldn't release just sweet pop tracks. There's a taste of each entrée on every EP. There's some fast ass rapping, some free life living rap, some singing, and some pop tracks. It feels like that fits me.

    What's the story behind "Delusional"?

    I was really angry when I wrote that. I was upset. I needed to just get it out on to a song, but I didn't want to talk about it. Once I started, I literally wrote eight verses about the situation. I took my favorite lines, and it felt so much funkier to me, which is what I wanted. The guy I was writing about it was delusional. I kept saying that, "He's fucking delusional". It's hard. You can't just remove humans from your life. Sometimes, circles are small. I needed to deal with that anger in a healthy way. Thank God I did. Now, the situation doesn't even bother me. It's done. Now, I know why Taylor Swift does what she does. It's because it feels really good to talk about it. It's even better to hear people singing about it.

    What's your favorite from the first EP?

    If I had to pick one, it'd be "F16". That's why I shot the video for it. "Killswitch" means so much to me though. I get choked up because I listen to it, and it means a lot. When I wrote it, it was very emotional. It says exactly what I want it to say. "Delusional" and "F16" have that badass aspect, which is basically me keeping my walls up. There's no harm in doing that because we can't cry about everything. "Killswitch" is more vulnerable though, and I'm proud of that. It's very dear to my heart.

    What artists shaped you?

    I love Suzanne Vega. She was a huge influence on me. She's so honest when she writes. I don't think she cares about what people think. She tells her stories. She doesn't care about her album sales. She's just honest. That's a big deal. It doesn't feel manufactured, which is rare. I love Eminem. He was the first dude who rapped and lit up my life with his rap.

    What other art forms inspire you?

    I used to read a lot. Now when I get home at 4am from a long day, it's the last thing I want to do. I love my classic movies. When I do watch movies, I always want to watch the same ones over and over again like The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Gold Member, and any of the "Brat Pack" '80s movies. I think most of the influences for my songs come from my life experiences. I try to fill up my inspiration bucket of life with having fun, being young, getting my heart broken, and all of that good stuff [Laughs].

    If you were to compare SKITSZO to a movie or a combination of movies, what would you compare it to?

    This is such a hard question, but I'm going to nail it [Laughs]. If my EP Part 1 were a movie, maybe it'd be Home Alone! It's funny and scary at the same time.

Maya Stendhal Gallery

Exhibition Detail
My Life With Nam June Paik
545 W.20th St.
New York, NY 10011

September 6th, 2007 - October 27th, 2007
September 6th, 2007 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Tues- Sat 11-6
Maya Stendhal Gallery is pleased to present video artist Shigeko Kubota’s solo show My Life With Nam June Paik, which runs from September 6 through October 27, 2007. As one of the first artists to explore the aesthetic, emotive, and technological properties of video, Kubota is largely responsible for video’s acceptance as a legitimate art practice. On view will be key works, some never before exhibited, which highlight the artist’s special relationship with husband and collaborator Nam June Paik (1932-2006).

The autobiographical is a constant theme throughout Kubota’s impressive body of work. She unites traditional sculpture with the electronic image to convey the personal, spiritual, and creative aspects that motivate her in life and art.

On view will be the self-portrait Jogging Lady (1993), a metal sculpture of a woman running while marathon footage plays on video monitors brazenly placed at her stomach, breasts, and mouth. Conceived as its male counterpart, or Nam June Paik, Pissing Boy (1993) is a work full of wit and playfulness in which a robot-like figure incessantly urinates into a bucket as Paik’s image plays on a monitor in the forehead. Also featured is Korean Grave (1993), expressed as a spiritual dome that echoes the country’s traditional burial structure. Sentimental and poignant moments of the couple’s 1984 trip to Paik’s homeland play on the work’s numerous video screens.

The show will also present two new larger than life video sculptures that will be unveiled to public for the first time. Nam June Paik I (2007) is composed of metal piping that abstractly suggests a human figure sitting on a mesh, orb-like base. The figure comes to life as recent images of Kubota and Paik play on monitors stationed at the head, torso, hands, and knees. Nam June Paik II (2007) exhibits Paik’s eccentric personality - he wears a belt and suspenders together. His arms are outstretched. In one hand he holds a violin, the instrument he smashed in his memorable performance One for Violin Solo. In the other hand is a Buddha head referencing his piece TV-Buddha. Footage of the couple shot over the years plays on 16 monitors placed through out the torso, arms, and head. Created in memory of Paik, these works symbolize his enduring presence as a husband and artist.

Born in 1937 in Niigata, Japan, Shigeko Kubota studied sculpture in her native country before moving to New York City in 1964 where she met George Maciunas, the influential founder of the Fluxus art movement. She became an active figure, embracing the movement’s collaborative and experimental approach to artistic practice. Fluxus introduced her to one of the group’s core members Nam June Paik, and they eventually married in 1977. The radical ideas and iconic imagery put forth by artist Marcel Duchamp also motivated Kubota in theory and practice. These influences, grounded in avant-garde beliefs, provided Kubota with the creative push needed to break free from art’s restrictive boundaries, and in 1970, she began using video.

Shigeko Kubota has exhibited at major art museums all over the world including the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo. She held artist residencies at the Art Institute of Chicago and Brown University, and taught Video Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She received the DAAD Fellowship in Berlin, Germany, and awards and grants from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Rockefeller Foundation, American Film Institute, New York Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Shigeko Kubota lives and works in New York City.

Xenon, poem from the “Periodic Table of Poetry” by Chicago poet Janet Kuypers

Janet Kuypers

from the “Periodic Table of Poetry” series (#054, Xe)

I don’t care
that you’re no
Zena warrior princess,
I just can’t stand
those high-intensity
headlights of yours
at night.

You may numb me
from my pain
if I breathe you in,
but the only good
your brightness may do
is that your excitement
may add color and life
to my plasma tee vee.

But, you know,
if I love outer space,
I should like the fact
that you are the propellant
in Ion drives —
because if Xenon is the ion,
it can be shot out of a rocket
in outer space,
forcing the rocket
to move faster and faster
through the void
of outer space.

Then again,
I’m not going to outer space,
and there’s no funding
to get us humans
into outer space
right now anyway…

So I’m sorry.
you may think
you’ve got some
bright ideas,
but when I’m driving
at night,
sometimes I think
you should keep
some of your ideas
in check.

Happy Friday the 13th!

It's hard to go out during this cold spell. Last week was apparently just a tease, but I know warm weather will be upon us soon, and I hope to be out and about as often as possible. Sitting on my bookshelf, I already have a stack of tickets for a bunch of shows I am super stoked to go see. Gomez, G Love, Wilco, Old Crow Medecine Show, and I just found some tix for Phish in Knoxville. I may not make this months credit card payment, but I have no doubt that it's going to be a fun Spring! Also on my radar is Mogwai, Asylum Street Spankers, The French Broad River Fest. Stay tuned for write ups on Josh Phillips and Asheville's beloved Snake Oil Medecine Show. Oh, and then there is my very favorite biannual festival, LEAF. Be sure to check out my photo booth at LEAF- festival attendees can come dress up in fun costumes, and I take their photograph, and print out one of those movie photo booth style strips of photos. 20% of sales are donated to Leaf in the Schools and Streets.

Ashevilles Favorite Band: Acoustic Syndicate!

Asheville Rocks on 3/7/09 at the Orange Peel
Acoustic Syndicate. How do I even begin? These boys, wow! I have seen them evolve from a brilliant acoustic 5 piece band whose instrumental line-up included flute, percussion, bass, geetar, and banjo into a stunning, musically explosive, newgrassy sort of rock band, and boy do they ever!

This group of musicians, whose tight sound reigns with fluidity and purity, continuous to impress and attract audiences throughout the region. Acoustic Syndicate has been playing together for nearly 2 decades, and is, for the most part a family band, comprised of brothers, cousins, and close friends. They are a band whose line-up has remained relatively consistent, and they are a band whose harmonious vocals, impressive musical stylings, captivating stage presence, and telling lyrics demand attention.

After a hiatus from touring the country, Asheville was ecstatic, as the numerous sold out shows proved, when Acoustic Syndicate began to play locally again. While their tour schedule is not nearly as demanding as it once was, their feel good tunes continue to shine as bright, if not brighter than they ever have.

My husbands band used to play with these guys years ago and we have lots of friends in similar circles, but last nights show at the Orange Peel, was my first show with an official photo pass, (thanks brad) and watching that show so up close and personal, through the lens of my fun new camera, sure was exciting. It is different attending a show as a listener/dancer vs. attending as a photographer (though there were times I just had to put the camera down and just boogie). Constantly clicking, constantly anticipating THE moment. But it turns out, there were SO MANY moments (I left the show having taken over 700 pictures! I don't even know how thats possible at a 3 hour show).

It was somewhat of a blur, and as I try to recall the highlights, North Country Girl and No Woman, No Cry stick out, but in reality, the entire evening was a highlight! I had a soul-nourishing great time, and was reminded, once again, why Asheville loves them some Syndicate!

Michael Franti- For Kids of All Ages!

Asheville rocks on 2/26/2009 at The Orange Peel!

I'm finally beginning to learn that if a show I
really want to see is coming to the Orange Peel, I must get tickets early, for there is a strong chance the show will sell out. I was sad, sad, sad when I procrastinated too long to get tix to the Franti Show in February- I love him, & as desperation and violence plagues our world, there are two front men that really make me feel happy in these trying and uncertain times: Barack Obama and Michael Franti!

So, needless to say, how excited
was I when just two days before the sold out show, the orange peel announced that Michael Franti would be performing a 75 minute early all-ages show (which also ended up seeling out, but not before I was able to leave work early and snag myself a ticket).

And all-ages it was. When Michael asked for a show of hands to try and figure out the oldest and youngest au dience members in the venue, I believe the ages ranged from 2 months old to 70 years old! Way to represent Asheville!

This, people, was a fun show! From the cookie monster song to the irresistably cute two year old (i'm guessing on the age) guitarist rockin out on stage, this was definitly my first feel-good show of 2-double 0-9!

After the show endend, Mr. Franti generously invited those attendees who bought his childrens book, "What it Be" to meet him after the show to have it autographed. People left this show happy- plain and simple!

How very incredible it must be to be a kid in Asheville- In a town with such devotion to the preservation of the arts, there is always opportunity for the little ones to rock out, express themselves, and expand their wee little creative souls, and this event was just one fine example.

New super deluxe whisky brand launched in conjunction with the recent passage of the luxury yacht “John Walker & Sons Voyager” around Asia Pacific ports

John Walker & Sons Odyssey Bottle and Casing

The unique crystal-grade glass decanter and rich casing which houses John Walker & Sons Odyssey triple malt.

A Rare Blend for a New Century-

The world’s leading luxury whisky house- John Walker & Sons was founded at Ayrshire, Scotland by John Walker- a local grocery merchant in the 1850′s. Subsequently, in 1865, John’s son Alexander produced their first whisky blend, Walker’s Old Highland . The whisky blend was re-branded under the “Johnnie Walker” label in 1908, and the colour names introduced.

In 1932, Sir Alexander Walker- grandson of the original founder- John Walker- created a unique decanter bottle which was able to move to match the motion created by ocean waves. The original blend he created brought to life the idea of the gestalt – combining rare and bold whiskies to create the ultimate sensory experience. The decanter was a stunning work of art fit to house his matchless blends, and soon became a favourite on the luxury cruise liners of that time.

Inspired by Sir Alexander Walker’s original notes, current Master Blender Jim Beveridge hand-selected three single malt whiskies – all with a sense of pedigree and provenance – to provide an expansive, multi-layered experience. These malts have been carefully blended and married in European oak casks to combine the flavours, and offer an exceptional smoothness. The dark-golden tones of John Walker & Sons Odyssey are deep, intense and sophisticated. The nose is rich and captivating, with hints of honey, berry fruits and caramel. The palate is full-bodied and inviting – from the freshness of citrus fruits to the richness of berries, from the smoothness of honey to the creaminess of caramel. Finally, the finish is mellow, lingering and smoky. Best served neat or with a dash of pure water, John Walker & Sons Odyssey is a true celebration of life’s great journeys.

Sensuous and visually stimulating, the exquisite decanter is crafted from the finest polished metals and natural timber. Perfectly captures the motion of the sea, when gently pushed, the bottle is free to swing elegantly to and fro. As the case is turned, the bottle rotates fluidly through 360 degrees. When at rest, it will always point up, paying homage to the steadfast and progressive direction shown by Sir Alexander himself.

John Walker & Sons Voyager

John Walker & Sons Voyager- under sail on Subic Bay, Philippines.

During 2012-13,  John Walker & Sons Voyager has undertaken a modern day reproduction of an epic journey, which evokes the nautical and game-changing heritage of John Walker & Sons. Setting sail from Shanghai in September 2012, the luxury yacht will journey through Asia Pacific, docking at nine key ports of call and capturing the essence of a true odyssey. Traveling from China to Taiwan, and then Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka and India, the yacht will retrace the original trade routes pioneered in the early 20th Century when the Walker family whiskies left the corner store in Scotland and journeyed across the world.

At each port, Voyager has been the setting for a series of iconic events through which the most progressive individuals in Asia Pacific were invited aboard to experience the pinnacle in luxury craftsmanship and celebrate the launch of Odyssey. As the yacht journeys through Asia Pacific, leading authors, photographers and illustrators from around the region will capture the progress of each port-of-call from the Golden Era till present day, recreating one of the first luxury travel guides ever written – “Around the World”. Originally commissioned in the 1920s, “Around the World” was written with the help of local John Walker & Sons distributors who contributed a chapter on their country including local foods, accommodation and key sights

Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou watched the first live-fire drill in five years of the island's largest annual war games amid concerns in the United States that Taiwan is neglecting its military while developing closer ties with China.

"Taiwan may have enjoyed many years of peace but we cannot let down our guard," Ma said after watching F-16A/B, IDF and F-5E fighter jets, the locally developed Thunderbolt-2000 multi-rocket launcher system and a Cheng Kung-class frigate stage an hour-long show of force shortly after dawn yesterday.

However, the Cheng Kung frigate suffered a glitch which caused its gun to be slow to fire. The Jin Jiang-class patrol vessel failed to fire at all.

The drill, the highlight of this year's Han Kuang or "Han Glory" exercise, mobilised more than 7,000 Taiwanese troops simulating an anti-landing attack against Chinese forces on the coast of the main island of the Penghu archipelago, in the Taiwan Strait just 140km from China.

"We have to strengthen the military in order to maintain peace in the Taiwan Strait," said Ma, 62, who was accompanied by Chief of General Staff Yen Ming.

The exercise is not expected to cause tension between Taiwan and China, whose military spending will rise 10.7 per cent this year to 740.6 billion yuan (US$25 billion yuan).

Indeed, critics say Ma has been too cosy with Beijing - which sees Taiwan as a breakaway province - since coming into power in 2008. The two sides have green-lighted direct flights, inked a free trade deal and are in talks to set up representative offices in each other's territory.

Ma has also been criticised for neglecting military affairs. Live-firing drills, once a staple of Han Kuang, was scrapped after he took office. The President went on a tour of Taiwan's allies in Africa last year while the war games was under way, for which he was criticised.

Last month, Washington's former top envoy to Taiwan, William Stanton, said the island's sliding military budgets leave it vulnerable to Chinese attack and may have contributed to "low morale" among Taiwanese troops.

The United States remains Taiwan's main ally and arms supplier despite switching diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979. President Barack Obama's administration has approved a total of US$12 billion in sales of weapons and upgrades to it since 2010.

Taiwan spent just 2.2 per cent of its gross domestic product on defence last year, down from 3.8 per cent in 2004. It is also transitioning from a conscription to a volunteer system, which will see its 270,000-strong military shrink to 210,000 and compulsory military service shortened from one year to four months.

Ma sought to allay American concerns on Tuesday at a video conference with former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and other scholars of Stanford University. Strengthening defence capability remains an integral part of Taiwan's three-pronged security strategy, he said, the other two being institutionalisation of the cross-strait rapprochement and making Taiwan a "model world citizen".

Professor Wong Ming-hsien, head of the Graduate Institute of International Affairs and Strategic Studies at Tamkang University, said yesterday's exercise was mainly aimed at addressing foreign concerns that Ma had neglected defence matters, but would also burnish his image at home.

"The live-firing drills will probably continue in future, helping to boost the (ruling) Kuomintang's morale ahead of the 2016 presidential election," said Prof Wong.

How can a serious court return a verdict of "spontaneous human combustion"?

Discussion in 'Letting Off Steam' started by Brendan Burgess, Sep 23, 2011.

  1. Brendan Burgess

    Brendan Burgess New Member

    From today's Indo

    Man dies from spontaneous human combustion

    I can't believe that a public official could come to this conclusion in Ireland in the 21st century and that all the newspapers have reported it so uncritically.

    An elderly man is found with his head close to an open fire and they think that the body spontaneously combusted.

    There have been many reports over the years of SHC, but no one has ever witnessed it.

    They are usually elderly people.

    They are usually near fireplaces.

    Someone burning to death is a tragedy but there is no need to make a farce of it.

    It's hard to credit alright. But SHC was a hot topic in literature like Dicken's Bleak House in the 19th Century, so it's a lot of traction in the public mind. What was it that Sherlock Holmes said? Something like if you eliminate all other possibilities, the only other remaining explanation must be true, however improbable!
  4. The_Banker

    The_Banker Frequent Poster

    If a condition like spontaneous combustion existed then it would be witnessed by someone at sometime.

    I have read up about it quite a lot and the people who did witness it date back to the 19th century and beyond.
    There have never been credible eye witness accounts.

    Why does it always happen to someone who is alone? Why doesnt it happen to someone at a restaurant?

    This is like the Loch Ness monster. Urban myth.

    I can see why the Independent printed this as they love this kind of reporting but for a qualified coroner to state it in open court is strange.

    It was a coroners court, not a law court.

    Coroners court are strange places with a mix of the absurd and the formal. Many of the current coroners have simply 'inherited' the title and have no forensic or specialised knowledge.

    I remember ones where the Gardai had to go out on the streets before hand to round up enough members of the jury to make up the quorum.

    Because there was no evidence of a crime, effectively what difference does it make what is put on the death cert?

    As for the ending, ah some things never change and it was no surprise who got all the money

    Because, (sigh), obviously people are far too polite to spontaneously combust in a restaurant and put other's off their dinner. It's just not the done thing. ;)

    Remix Frequent Poster

    I'm curious as to what people think is the inference to the best explanation given the facts.

    There was fire damage to floor below him and the ceiling above him.

    If his clothes caught fire from the fireplace you might expect the unfortunate man to have serious injuries or to have died from burns.

    But the body is described as being in a 'cremated' state consistent with being completely consumed by fire.

    The report says no accelerants had been found. However no details on the forensic detection method was given. According to some google articles the detection of accelerants can be a controversial topic.

    Most people in the world , and especially in this country-over 80%, believe that there is some sort of divine power that created everything and guides and looks over us.

    Even more of a "farce" (to use Brendans word about the possibility of SHC) is that even in "advanced" societies like the USA -40% actually believe in the literal word of the Bible. -i.e. no evolution , all the miracles really took place as stated etc etc.

    I bet many people reading this believe in a God and ghosts, though i gather that belief in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus tends to decline after childhood, (though I'm unsure why one places more credibility in some guy in the heavens than in one on a sleigh- how else do those presents get here?).

    So, if people believe in things for which there has been no proof whatsoever why the blazes be surprised about a belief in SHC, for which actually there have been some almost scientifically credible explanations.

    Spontaneous human combustion is a misnomer for the Wick effect.
  11. Brendan Burgess

    Brendan Burgess New Member

    Thanks for explaining that. I was wondering how a court which should be evidence-based could arrive at such a conclusion.

    So who gets the jobs as coroners? Solicitors? Doctors? Anyone?
  12. Remix

    Remix Frequent Poster

    PubMed has some academic articles on the Wick Effect. In one experiment a pig carcass was wrapped in particular materials and the effect was induced when 1L of accelerent fuel was pored and ignited.

    I did come across one article on PubMed that appears to use SHC and the Wick Effect as synonyms rather as a misnomer. i.e the effect may have gained enough acceptance that the term SHC implies the Wick Effect. Terms can acquire a new meaning that don't reflect their original meaning.

    But I have no idea what the coroner was actually thinking. I'm not sure either though if enough evidence was present for all the necessary conditions for the Wick Effect to be conclusively proven.

    Imho it might have been better to simply state something along the lines of having no conclusive explanation given the facts available but no foul play was suspected.

    The following well written extract comes from that document:

    So it seems that a coroner has to be a doctor or a laywer and can not be a forensic scientist.
  15. Vanilla

    Vanilla Frequent Poster

    AFAIK the majority are GPs, with the rest solicitors. A coroner can have a deputy and I believe many deputies end up as 'acting' coroner, thus effectively inheriting the position. A reform has been proposed for some some time but not yet put in place.

    I suppose an argument could be made that the coroner is really just an administrative figure head and hears the evidence of witnesses plus the state pathologist etc and therefore doesnt need specialist knowledge in themselves but they do tend to direct the jury towards a verdict. I know from personal knowledge that many of the jury members are the same old people, available to go to the coroners court, retired people etc and are used to the routine.
  16. Black Sheep

    Black Sheep Frequent Poster

    Very odd indeed, and his daughter was satisfied with extent of the investigation!!!!
  17. Remix

    Remix Frequent Poster

    Going back to the original case, I think it's important not to just make the assumption that the coroner suggested a non-material cause.

    The Scientists on pubMed demonstrated conclusively that the ignition and total combustion of a pig carcass can be achieved with a smaller than expected fire source initiated with 1L of accelerant.

    They also demonstrated therefore that the alleged phenomenon of SHC can be and is subject to scientific hypothesis and testing.

    Scientific knowledge being tentative and expanding, who can be sure that future experiments devised under different controls will not show higher rates of combustion than the currently understood Wick Effect?

    The coroner was told there was no evidence of an accelerant and he said this case "fits into the category of spontaneous human combustion, for which there is no adequate explanation".

    So taking that there is no current adequate explanation for this case and also taking that the phenomenon known as SHC can be subject to ongoing scientific enquiry and discovery, I'm starting to think his statement is not as bad as it first seems.

    I think it only qualifies as "steam venting" material if the reader makes the assumption he was implying a supernatural cause.

    The speed of the particle is something like 60 millonth's of a second faster than light. How this makes any great difference is beyond me, but apparently, if true, it will.

    Don't tell me the end of Bleak House, I'm more than half way thro the book. :D

    Back on topic, I'n suprised that the Coronor didn't return an open verdict. Surely this is an option in a case like this?

    Einstein also had an extra-marital affair and his wife found out about it.

    So married guys take note. If Einstein couldn't figure out a way of getting away with it...... ;)

    You beat me to it.
    The whole idea of spontaneous human combustion has been comprehensively debunked. The Coroner obviously doesn't watch the Discovery channel.

Penelope Cruz happy at 30

Penelope Cruz happy at 30

Penelope Cruz claims she's never been happier since turning 30

The stunning actress, who is currently dating handsome actor Matthew McConaughey, says reaching the milestone last year made her appreciate her life much more.

She said: "This is the best time in my life. There's such a long learning process in your twenties. I was 17 when I became an actress and I've been learning ever since.

"I'm not saying I'm really clever. If I lived to be 100 I'd still be able to learn, but I feel more mature now and I'm able to deal with all sorts of situations in many countries."

The Spanish beauty also says she enjoys being able to star in foreign films as well as Hollywood blockbusters.

She added: "I work in four different languages - Spanish, English, French and Italian - and I try to do the best I can in all of them. I feel very happy in my work. And I feel very happy in my life."

Weekend Food Tripping: at Aristocrat Restaurant and a Post X'mas Gift!

Christmas, New Years...
Definitely a lot of food tripping! :)
When it comes to BBQ, there's only one place that I really crave for!
Aristocrat Restaurant!

Aristocrat restaurant is known or it's Chicken BBQ, and a lot of other Filipino dishes. In my case, I love their Lumpiang Shanghai (Filipino Spring Rolls). Of course, I ate here with husband's family! So don't be shocked with all the food photo I have as you scroll down :)

My Favorite
Lumpiang Shanghai
Php234.00 (approx $4.90) for 9 pcs

This is my ultimate favorite, it smells a bit funky but it tastes heavenly,
I can eat like 3 of these!!!

Pork Spareribs with Java Rice
Whole order
Php303.00 (approx $7.00)

Not the fatty one or boney ones like most that I've tried

Aristocrat Pork Barbeque with Java Rice
Php150.00 (approx $3.20)

BBQ? Pork? On Stick? Need I say more?

Aristocrat Chicken Barbeque
Php195.00 (approx $4.00)

This is my ultimate favorite Chicken BBQ
The chicken is scrumptuous,
the JAVA sauce that goes with this tastes so good togethere
They're definitely Husband and Wife!

Boneless Chicken Barbeque
(for the lazies) lol
Php149.00 (approx $3.20)

If you are on a date and you still want your POISE
This is the best meal! LOL

Crispy Fish (forgot the name, sorry)
Forgot the price too :( Another sorry

You know why?
Coz it's Forgettable!

This looks super crunchy and yummy but it lacks marinate
I love the sauce though! I could drink it! hehehe

Last but not the least,
Gulaman Sago Drink!
Php55.00 (approx $1.25)

What is Gulaman Sago Drink?
(answer taken from Pinoy Recipe)

Sago’t Gulaman is a very popular refreshment. In restaurants it is served in a tall, footed glass, in neighborhood stores it is ladled into plastic cups and in street stands it is simply poured into plastic bags and provided with straw. It can be taken as an after-meal beverage-dessert, a snack or a drink to accompany another merienda item. Sago itself is also seen in Tahu, Ginataan and Ginumis while gulaman which is made from seaweed called agar-agar can be eaten as a gelatin dessert with or without fruits.

Today has been super hectic for me. I did make-up for one who has an engagement and her mom! Photos will be up soon! :)

I also went home to visit my brother as he'll be flying back to Shanghai Monday *sadness* and I want to spend more time with him so I had lunch at home. I also went to Greenhills shopping center after months!!! There's still so many people!! I can't believe people still have money! LOL

When I got back home, I was surprised to see a package waiting for me. Why? Because it's Saturday, the postal office has been closed for a week for the Holidays, so I am not expecting anything.

It was a nice surprise as I am quite tired today. I got a post Christmas present from my friend Toma!

The card note is super sweet. I felt really touched that she took time to know the ULTA e/s shades I chose when I joined her monthly contest several months ago. I really love these shadows and I can't believe she sent me these.

Thank you so much for the lovely present and the lovely note :)

Cute Kitty Notebook
A cute oval magnetic frame

How to Merge / Combine Multiple E-mail Accounts into One in Windows Live Mail (WLM)?

Many of us use Windows Live Mail to check our emails right from our Desktop. Almost all of us have more than one email account and its quite annoying and time consuming to click on each account to check its emails.

Wouldn't it be great if we can merge / combine all emails accounts folders into one which shows all new emails, sent mails, deleted mails, etc from each email account?

Today in this tutorial, we'll tell you how to get a special folder "Quick Views" in Windows Live Mail which combines folders of all email accounts into one:

1. Although "Quick Views" is enabled in Windows Live Mail by default but if you can't see it, click on the 2nd icon present in the right-side of the toolbar and select "Layout" option:

2. In Layout window, enable "Show Quick views" option under "Folder Pane" section:

3. It'll add "Quick views" at top of the Folder pane which'll contain a few default sub-folders under it:

4. You can add/remove sub-folders under "Quick views" by clicking on the wrench icon near its name or by right-clicking on "Quick views" and click on "Select quick views" option:

That's it. Now it'll show combined emails from all of your email accounts so you wouldn't need to click on each account separately.

Saturday at Austin with Scott Jones

04/20/2013 @ 8:59 pm, by Scott Jones6 COMMENTS
  • Mania

    Excellent Thanks

  • L2C

    Always have to post the thanks to you, Scott. Excellent work again, but I’m still waiting for the one in a million Pedrosa shot. I haven’t seen it yet, not from any photographer, so I’m hoping you’ll be the one to get it! :-)

  • Peter Geran

    Shooting over lots of bitumen there?…Heat haze effect on the photos ?

  • Trane Francks

    Heat haze was a feature of the video coverage, too. High track temps + a Tilke circuit with lots of paved runoff = unavoidable really.

  • Peter Geran

    Yes, makes it difficult.

    I shot the Suzuka 8 Hour Motor Cycle Race way back in 1990. So hot and humid. Many of my shots were soft due to heat haze over a long distance. No bitumen run-off areas there, but, the heat just screwed up a lot.

    Got the way you couldn’t touch the lens. I ended up putting a towel over my 800mm lens .

  • Scott Jones

    Sadly they tend to hold motorcycle races in just the light I’d otherwise not even get the cameras out. I much prefer overcast days to soften the light and reduce the heat haze. When there’s some cloud cover, the photos are crisp and clear, the autofocus works much better, and I don’t look like a lobster in the afternoon.

    Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Asset Protection

Asset Protection

Asset Protection Planning involves reviewing your assets, risks and financial goals to create a legal barrier between creditors and your wealth using a combination of business and estate planning tools. A properly established plan performs three primary functions; lawsuit deterrence, settlement negotiation leverage and/or placing your assets out of the reach of a legal opponent. Asset protection planning is ideally performed prior to a lawsuit (or cause of action), however can be implemented at any time. Every situation is different, so we encourage you to call and speak to an experienced professional to help you understand the details, or you can consult with one of our in-house asset protection attorneys who can provide you with legal advice during business hours.

How Asset Protection Works
The Legal System

Immediate Protection

You CAN implement asset protection at any time from a lawsuit, judgment or divorce. Find out how...

Mortgage Deficiency

Protect yourself from mortgage deficiency judgments. Find out how...

Why do you need it?

Regardless of net worth, any individual or family that has assets they wish to keep should look into a wealth protection plan appropriate for their assets, risk, fears and comfort level. Business owners, parents, investors, real estate owners, physicians and other professions come with more likelihood of a major lawsuit and a greater need to implement an asset protection plan.

Lawsuit avoidance through financial privacy. Before you are legally pursued, the chances are that an opposing legal team performed an asset search to locate and value reachable assets. When you implement financial privacy measures an asset search can show little to no assets or asset value, depending on the techniques used. No reachable or valuable assets means a poor lawsuit target.

Lawsuit deterrence from protection plans. When you have the proper legal tools in place before a lawsuit strikes, you're in the most powerful position - this could mean the difference between quickly settling out of court or costly litigation. When your assets are protected, any creditor or potential legal opponent has to face the fact that you are not an easy target and must decide how much time and money they want to throw at pursing you.

The strongest asset protection comes from offshore trusts.When you choose to establish an offshore asset protection strategy, you take advantage of the most favorable laws in the world. A creditor that wants to pursue your wealth has to meet nearly impossible measures. You can take advantage of foreign jurisdiction statutes that afford you near bulletproof protection.

The Use of ASTM Standards by Chinese Industry

by Li Wei

With China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, the role of standards is increasingly important. As Chinese standards are generally not considered as advanced as those of some other nations, Chinese authorities have begun to pay great attention to standardization. In order to improve the establishment and management of standards, the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) was set up in April 2001 to carry out the centralized administration of standardization in China. In July 2002, SAC held a National Conference on the Adoption of International Standards and Advanced Foreign Standards. During this conference, SAC presented an “International Standards Adoption Plan 2002 - 2005,” the aim of which is to gradually adopt more sophisticated international standards. Delegates to the conference, in their speeches, talked about the many benefits of adopting international standards. ASTM standards were mentioned by many presenters as contributors to the improvement of their enterprises.

In recent years, ASTM standards have found wide use across China. In the development of many national, professional, and enterprise standards, ASTM standards have been consulted or used to some extent. This article will discuss the application of ASTM standards in China.

The Use of ASTM Standards in the Development of Chinese National Standards

In the development of national standards for the People’s Republic of China, ASTM standards are frequently referenced or used. According to the statistics from the National Standards Center, there is a total of 658 standards that reference ASTM standards.

These standards cover many industries, including:

• Steel and metals;
• Petroleum and petroleum products;
• Construction;
• Plastic and plastic products;
• Corrosion;
• Rubber and rubber goods;
• Uranium and uranium bearing ores;
• Textile products;
• Coal;
• Stone;
• Natural gas;
• Adhesives;
• Kerosene;
• Cement;
• Ceramics;
• Surgical materials;
• Semiconductors;
• Packaging and shipping;
• Electronics and micro-electronics;
• Industrial methanol; and
• Air-conditioning and refrigeration,

The Use of ASTM Standards in Specific Sectors

Clearly, ASTM standards are widely used in many industries. Luo Qing of the China Natural Gas Standardization Technology Committee (CNGSTC) was interviewed regarding the use of ASTM standards for natural gas.

According to Luo, as early as the 1960s, the library of the CNGSTC subscribed to relevant ASTM standards. Lately the information has been collected on the Internet. ASTM has its advantages in materials standards and test methods; since a large part of CNGSTC’s responsibilties is research into the testing of natural gas and fuel gas, they keep abreast of ASTM standards. CNGSTC has established seven national standards for natural gas products, natural gas sampling, and component analysis of natural gas on the basis of ASTM standards.

As a result, the quality of every kind of natural gas can be tested. The diversified methods make it possible for producers and customers to choose appropriately according to the needs of different technical processes. These standards are in wide use in oil and natural gas fields and pipeline companies such as Sichuan, Daqing, Liaoning, Changqing, Xinjiang, Zhongyuan, Dianqiangui, Shengli, and Nanhai, as well as fertilizer plants and power plants, natural gas companies in various cities, and natural gas quality inspection organizations.

The establishment of these standards has contributed to the technological advancement of the Chinese natural gas industry, helped meet market demand for improved natural gas products, and helped pave the way for China’s natural gas to enter the world market. In the future, the Chinese natural gas industry will keep up with trends in ASTM’s standards and fully adopt or modify these to meet the need of the international development of China’s natural gas industry.

The Use of ASTM Standards in Enterprise Standards

In the National Conference on the Adoption of International Standards held in 2002, many enterprises talked about the benefits of their adoption of international standards. Some companies mentioned their experience in adopting ASTM standards and how these standards helped advance their technology, introduce fresh ideas, increase exports, and enhance company competitiveness.

Take Ningbo Veken Elite Group Co., Ltd., a textile manufacturer, as an example. Veken Group is typical of enterprises that have benefited from ASTM standards, which have contributed a great deal to the improvement of production technology and quality control. In 1998, in order to produce jacquard weave cloth for the export of bedclothes to the United States, Veken set up an enterprise standard for this product based on ASTM standards D 5431, Performance Specification for Woven and Knitted Sheeting Products for Institutional and Household Use, and ASTM D 4769, Specification for Woven and Warp Knitted Comforter Fabrics. The implementation of this enterprise standard played an active role in improving the quality of Veken bedclothes. Since it would have been very difficult to use traditional technology and management to meet the quality demand of this standard, Veken Group adopted sophisticated technology and improved the interior management of their enterprise in order to meet the requirements of the American marketplace.

In the past, Chinese enterprise standards were usually established from the producer’s point of view and often failed to take the consumer into consideration. Thus, when quality disputes arose, a reasonable solution was hard to find. But ASTM standards put a heavier focus on product performance, and so as long as products meet the relevant standards, few disputes will arise. In introducing ASTM standards, Veken Group organized relevant staff to discuss the effectiveness of these standards. The sophisticated quality standards helped professional and managerial personnel to transform their ideas and enhance quality awareness. In addition, after the adoption of the ASTM-based standards and this customer-oriented approach, Veken Group won the recognition of its customers and their exports increased.

From 1998 to 2000, Veken Group experienced an annual growth of 30 percent in sales. Veken bedding began to compete in the domestic and international markets and its trademark was registered in America, Japan, Australia, and Hong Kong.

In short, ASTM standards are widely applied in various industries in China. More and more enterprises have come to know the importance of ASTM standards. With China’s entry into the World Trade Organization and the expansion of international communication and international trade, ASTM standards will most likely increase in popularity and more and more enterprises will adopt them. //

    1. Scope

    This method is for determining metals in samples of unknown composition such as residues and deposits. Aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd), calcium (Ca), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), potassium (K), sodium (Na), strontium (Sr), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), and zirconium (Zr) are quantitatively determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Concentrations determined generally cover the range of 0.02 to several mass-%, see Table 1. Sample dilution extends the working range for major (matrix) components. If requested, additional elements can be determined, if the sample preparation method is appropriate for the additional elements.

    Barium (Ba) and silicon (Si) cannot be determined by this method due to the acid treatment of samples. Alpha-alumina will not dissolve in the acid media used in this method.

    An alternative microwave-based dissolution technique is described in the Appendix. Silicon can be determined using the microwave-based dissolution technique; and instructions for the analysis of silicon are included.

Sun in Libra, Moon in Aquarius

These astrological positions may combine to provide you with a sunny disposition. Because you are so much at peace with yourself, you direct your thoughts toward understanding the entire human race.

You are the humanist par excellence - equality, liberty, and fraternity" is your motto, and this is not just a phrase for you. You dislike pomp, artificiality and privilege, and are drawn to what is modest, simple and natural in life. The total picture is of an extremely well-integrated individual. You probably had a happy youth and as a result will enjoy many healthy relationships. In love you play the role of a gardener, tending to the needs of your love partner.

to top

Ascendant in Cancer, Moon in the Eighth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Cancer was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler the Moon is located in the eighth house.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives are under the rulership of the Moon. Your life will be full of changes and intermittent periods of activity and relaxation. Your vulnerability to external influences makes you subconsciously imitate the manners and ways of those with whom you relate.

In many instances, circumstances will require that you play the role of worldliness and sophistication but under the mask there will exist a very sensitive human being who is easily offended, and also very perceptive of the more subtle influences and impressions, as well as of psychic vibrations.

Cancer gives the tendency to completely retreat when hurt or frightened of a situation. This happens to you often because you tend to interfere in the affairs of others when you are not needed or wanted. Throughout your life, your responses will be emotional rather than rational.

Cancer also gives a tendency for life to be centered in the home and family; your attachment to your private and domestic habits is so strong that without them you could hardly endure. In love matters, you are emotional and gentle.

For the difficult aspects we must warn you against becoming overly preoccupied with trivial details of a psychological nature. Another tendency that you have is to flatter and to criticize carelessly, without regard for the other person's feelings.

Destiny may place you in environments where your natural traits can be best expressed. You will be happier when allowed to be occupied with searching for a person or a thing, though not necessarily in important work.

Your life ruler in house eight may indicate that death and all related subjects will have an important bearing on the general course of your existence.

There seems to exist certain interest in uncommon hobbies, ancient customs, and any original or eccentric theory about death. In other life matters, you are likely to communicate many of your original thoughts and move them into action; you have been granted a curious "sixth sense" for the comprehension of human nature and a natural art to work with the emotions of others.

to top

Venus in the Third House

Venus was in the third house of your horoscope at the time of birth. You are keenly interested in the creative arts, and your thoughts and words are surrounded by a halo of beauty, taste, and proportion. Your mind actually feels the emotions connected with nature and the higher aspects of things human. Venus here augurs pleasant and kind relations with members of your family; the disposition of your intellect is congenial, youthful, and attractive.

The keys to a better integration of both your mental and emotional functions consist of deepening your personal relationships and of turning the mind inward so that you may be able to know the world better by means of true self-knowledge.

to top

Sun in the Fourth House

The Sun appears in the fourth house at the time of your birth. This is an indication that parental name, family affairs and other domestic matters are of the utmost importance in your life.

Sun brings honor, pride, and fame to anything under its influence, and it is indicated that the problem of these influences here is that proper success for you cannot materialize until you are well past your mature years. There appears to exist a very strong attachment to one of your parents.

You believe in being the "ruler" in your home, and the sense of privacy is extensively developed in your nature.

As life passes you will experience illuminating insights connecting your individuality with certain racial and family elements. Study them. You will then perhaps discover the nature of the spiritual mission which destiny requires of you.

to top

Saturn in the Fifth House

Saturn was found in the fifth house at the time of your birth. Circumstances may oblige you to appear humble and patient in connection with love affairs and as a response to obstacles that will come between you and the object of your love.

It is possible that unless you can exert good control of your temperament, the obstacles can create a response from you that is harsh and severe. You must view these matters in light of the spiritual cause and effect.

We advise you to be very careful in business speculations and not to become involved in operations that have a risky element.

You should make an effort to become involved with the various human experiences of love so that your communicative power is increased. You must be sincere with yourself. Secretly you nourish the desire to be involved in human situations, but you apparently have lost the ability to relate to other people. A little more openness and confidence in your loved ones could be a good course to follow.

to top

Moon in the Eighth House

The Moon was found in your eighth house at the time of birth. Since the Moon has intense qualities of perception, you may find that gradually there is an awakening of interests in sexual matters, psychic and spiritualistic research, and much mental speculation with ideas concerning the possibilities of existence after death.

At some point of your existence there will be possibilities of inheritance through members of the female sex or the maternal side of your family.

Spanish poet who won the Nobel prize for literature in 1956 and whose lyrical writings were inspirational. Though he was an active member of the early period, a time of romantic auras of melancholy, he is best remembered for his second period of forty years. During this time he developed his personal style as in "Eternities," 1918. Always in pursuit of absolute beauty, his best loved and most read book, "Platero and I," was published in 1958.

Jimenez died on 5/29/1958, San Juan, Puerto Rico.
