People cheat for the same reason that dogs lick
their testicals. Because they can.
Over the years countless people have been intentionally mislead to achieve financial goals of unscrupulous people. The first known scam ever published by the press was in 1849 during the trial of William Thompson who was known as the ‘confidence man’. He would chat with strangers until he asked if they had the confidence to lend him their watches, whereupon he would walk off with the watch. Thompson was captured when a victim recognized him on the street.

http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/environmental_law/governancemanagement/index.html"Sustainable, renewable energy maintains our standard of living and provides energy independence The US is far behind in the energy independence sweepstakes race. Steve Mufson of the Washington Post reports that the oil-exporting countries are winning this race by $ 700 billion annually. And the US is not, and never again will be, an oil-exporting country.
Between rising oil prices and global warming impacts, continued reliance
on oil virtually guarantees that our standard of living will fall and fall dramatically in the coming years. It also guarantees
that some of the most vicious regimes will have plenty of money to buy, creat, proliferate, and use true weapons of mass
destruction (i.e. tactical and strategic nuclear weapons).
It is so ironic that Republicans, traditionally the national security hawks, have been so passive in moving the United States
towards sustainable, renewable energy. Maybe someone can connect the dots for them.
Oil Price Rise Causes Global Shift in Wealth
By Steven Mufson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, November 10, 2007; A01
High oil prices are fueling one of the biggest transfers of wealth in history. Oil consumers are paying $4 billion to $5 billion
more for crude oil every day than they did just five years ago, pumping more than $2 trillion into the coffers of oil companies
and oil-producing nations this year alone.
The consequences are evident in minds and mortar: anger at Chinese motor-fuel pumps and inflated confidence in the Kremlin;
new weapons in Chad and new petrochemical plants in Saudi Arabia; no-driving campaigns in South Korea and bigger sales
for Toyota hybrid cars; a fiscal burden in Senegal and a bonanza in Brazil. In Burma, recent demonstrations were triggered by
a government decision to raise fuel prices.
In the United States, the rising bill for imported petroleum lowers already anemic consumer savings rates, adds to inflation,
worsens the trade deficit, undermines the dollar and makes it more difficult for the Federal Reserve to balance its competing
goals of fighting inflation and sustaining growth.
High prices have given a boost to oil-rich Alaska, which in September raised the annual oil dividend paid to every man, woman
and child living there for a year to $1,654, an increase of $547 from last year. In other states, high prices create greater
incentives for pursuing non-oil energy projects that once might have looked too expensive and hurt earnings at energy-intensive
companies like airlines and chemical makers. Even Kellogg's cited higher energy costs as a drag on its third-quarter earnings.
With crude oil prices nearing $100 a barrel, there is no end in sight to the redistribution of more than 1 percent of the world's
gross domestic product. Earlier oil shocks generated giant shifts in wealth and pools of petrodollars, but they eventually faded
and economies adjusted. This new high point in petroleum prices has arrived over four years, and many believe it will represent
a new plateau even if prices drop back somewhat in coming months.
"There's never been anything like this on a sustained basis the way we've seen the last couple of years," said Kenneth Rogoff,
a Harvard University economics professor and former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. Oil prices "are not
spiking; they're just rising," he added.

Their name is Bond, and they're causing a stir in the classical music world.
Four young women are injecting (gasp) sex into classical music. By Patrick Donovan.
2
To the quartet themselves, they are four strong women in their late 20s, "seeking the challenge of the new and
wanting to have fun"; to the classical music scene, it means style over substance; to classical music teachers, it
means more students in classes; to their record label, Decca, it means 3 million album sales.
Because our music has a pop influence, we're quite happy to wear glamorous designer clothes on our album.
- Tania DavisTo corporate sponsors, they are a group with one foot in the teen pop market, the other in the older,
wealthier classical music demographic. Luxury companies such as Jaguar, Martell cognac, Mittweida beer and Othello
watches are involved in sponsorship deals with the group.
Member Tania Davis, from Sydney, who plays viola and has performed with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the
Sydney Symphony and London Symphony Orchestra, says questions about Bond sexing up classical music would
not be asked if they were a pop act.
"People have these expectations that because we come from a classical background, somehow we should be wearing long black dresses and looking serious on our album cover," she says. "Because our music has a pop influence, we're quite happy to wear glamorous designer clothes on our album. We chose to enjoy that whole thing that goes along with being four girls - we see it strong and empowering that we can look great on an album. It's a sign of the times - Kylie Minogue and Delta Goodrem, they've both got glamorous pictures of them on it. It's part of today's marketing." http://www.larastjohn.com/reviews/articles.html3.

The Gutenberg Transistor
Nov. 16, 2007
Kovio Inc., a privately held Silicon Valley company, this week introduced the world’s first all-printed high-performance
silicon thin-film transistor (TFT), a key building block for the integration of electronics into everyday things. Kovio
has demonstrated low-cost all-printed silicon TFTs with mobility of 80 cm2/Vs, which significantly exceeds the performance
of previously reported all-printed TFTs using either organic or inorganic semiconductors.
The announcement came at this week’s IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA 2007 in San Francisco. Based on breakthroughs in
nanotechnology and materials science, Kovio has developed the electronic equivalents of color inks for graphics printing.
These functional electronic inks include silicon, doped silicon, metals, and insulators. Combining functional electronic
inks with high-resolution graphics printing technologies, Kovio has printed high-performance silicon TFTs at a fraction
of the cost of conventional lithography-based silicon technology. This is the result of additive digital printing processes,
lower capital expenditures and faster cycle time. The technology is also attractive from an energy consumption standpoint.
The transistor won’t find its way into mobile computing devices right away, however. The initial target application is
low-cost radio frequency identification (RFID) for item-level tagging. The innovation is intended to lower the cost of
item-level tagging required for meaningful adoption in various markets, including retail, consumer products, healthcare,
manufacturing and transportation.
To accelerate the commercialization of its technology, Kovio will sign two separate joint development and supply agreements
with Toppan Forms Co. Ltd., which is involved in printing businesses, printable electronics and digital information
technologies, and Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Cubic Corp., a provider of automated fare collection
systems for public transport.
“By combining our capabilities with Kovio, intelligence can be built into everyday items, enabling the integration of
pervasive networked devices for information collection and distribution, a key requirement for the advent of the ubiquitous
society,” says Masanori Akiyama, president and CEO of Toppan Forms “By combining the enabling performance of silicon with
the cost structure of printing, Kovio offers a true extension to item-level tagging that the current silicon industry can’t
achieve,” says Amir Mashkoori, CEO and chairman of Kovio.
Kovio expects to start shipment of products by the end of 2008.
Dear Friends and Family, Hello! Here are some art updates for you:
After a nine month application process (and nervous feet), I am happy to say that I have been
awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant for the 2008 calendar year. This grant is awarded
to professional visual artists internationally, based on dual criteria of artistic merit
and financial need. The Pollock-Krasner Foundation was established in 1985 to assist individual
working artists of merit with financial need through the generosity of Lee Krasner (1908-1984),
a leading abstract expressionist painter and widow of Jackson Pollock. This prestigious
award will support my personal and professional expenses for one year. Their website is
www.pkf.org.
Also, I will have two works (Godseeker and Seed of Ichthys) represented by Greene Contemporary at the Bridge Art Fair in Miami, Florida during the weekend of December 6 through 9, 2007. Here is a link to the event website. www.bridgeartfair.com/miamiinfo.htm Work from my recent exhibition Godseeker: A Return to Origins is posted on the Greene Contemporary website ( www.greenecontemporary.com) under past exhibitions. I bid you peace and creative happiness. Brian. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The ZEROFON Ladybug

 excerpted" http://www.rense.com/ufo6/mindcontrol.htmThe Grey Area of Legitimacy I'm not saying that legitimate healings do not take place. They do. Maybe the individual was ready to let go of the negativity that caused the problem in the first place; maybe it was the work of God. Yet I contend that it can be explained with existing knowledge of brain/mind function. A Game in Which the Rules Keep Changing The techniques and staging will vary from church to church. Many use "speaking in tongues" to generate catharsis in some while the spectacle creates intense excitement in the observers. The use of hypnotic techniques by religions is sophisticated, and professionals are assuring that they become even more effective. A man in Los Angeles is designing, building, and reworking a lot of churches around the country. He tells ministers what they need and how to use it. This man's track record indicates that the congregation and the monetary income will double if the minister follows his instructions. He admits that about 80 percent of his efforts are in the sound system and lighting.
Powerful sound and the proper use of lighting are of
primary importance in inducing an
altered state of consciousnes--I've been
using them for years in my own seminars.
However, my participants are fully aware
of the process and what they can expect
as a result of their participation.
Six Conversion Techniques
Cults and human-potential organizations are always looking for new converts. To attain them, they must also create a brain-phase. And they often need to do it within a short space of time--a weekend, or maybe even a day. The following are the six primary techniques used to generate the conversion. Isolation Intimidation, Deprivation and Indoctrination The meeting or training takes place in an area where participants are cut off from the outside world. This may be any place: a private home, a remote or rural setting, or even a hotel ballroom where the participants are allowed only limited bathroom usage. In human-potential trainings, the controllers will give a lengthy talk about the importance of "keeping agreements" in life. The participants are told that if they don't keep agreements, their life will never work. It's a good idea to keep agreements, but the controllers are subverting a positive human value for selfish purposes. The participants vow to themselves and their trainer that they will keep their agreements. Anyone who does not will be intimidated into agreement or forced to leave. The next step is to agree to complete training, thus assuring a high percentage of conversions for the organizations. They will usually have to agree not to take drugs, smoke, and sometimes not to eat...or they are given such short meal breaks that it creates tension. The real reason for the agreements is to alter internal chemistry, which generates anxiety and hopefully causes at least a slight malfunction of the nervous system, which in turn increases the conversion potential. The "Sell It By Zealot" Technique. Before the gathering is complete, the agreements will be used to ensure that the new converts go out and find new participants. They are intimidated into agreeing to do so before they leave. Since the importance of keeping agreements is so high on their priority list, the converts will twist the arms of everyone they know, attempting to talk them into attending a free introductory session offered at a future date by the organization. The new converts are zealots. In fact, the inside term for merchandising the largest and most successful human-potential training is, "sell it by zealot!" At least a million people are graduates and a good percentage have been left with a mental activation button that assures their future loyalty and assistance if the guru figure or organization calls. Think about the potential political implications of hundreds of thousands of zealots programmed to campaign for their guru. Be wary of an organization of this type that offers follow-up sessions after the seminar. Follow-up sessions might be weekly meetings or inexpensive seminars given on a regular basis which the organization will attempt to talk you into taking--or any regularly scheduled event used to maintain control. As the early Christian revivalists found, long-term control is dependent upon a good follow-up system. Wearing Down Resistance Alright. Now, let's look at the second tip-off that indicates conversion tactics are being used. A schedule is maintained that causes physical and mental fatigue. This is primarily accomplished by long hours in which the participants are given no opportunity for relaxation or reflection. Increasing Tension The third tip-off: techniques used to increase the tension in the room or environment. Introducing Uncertainty About Identity Number four: Uncertainty. I could spend hours relating various techniques to increase tension and generate uncertainty. Basically, the participants are concerned about being "put on the spot" or encountered by the trainers, guilt feelings are played upon, participants are tempted to verbally relate their innermost secrets to the other participants or forced to take part in activities that emphasize removing their masks. One of the most successful human-potential seminars forces the participants to stand on a stage in front of the entire audience while being verbally attacked by the trainers. A public opinion poll, conducted a few years ago, showed that the number one most-fearful situation an individual could encounter is to speak to an audience. It ranked above window washing outside the 85th floor of an office building. So you can imagine the fear and tension this situation generates within the participants. Many faint, but most cope with the stress by mentally going away. They literally go into an alpha state, which automatically makes them many times as suggestible as they normally are. And another loop of the downward spiral into conversion is successfully effected. Jargon The fifth clue that conversion tactics are being used is the introduction of jargon--new terms that have meaning only to the "insiders" who participate. Vicious language is also frequently used, purposely, to make participants uncomfortable. Lack of Humor: No Release, No Resistance The final tip-off is that there is no humor in the communications... at least until the participants are converted. Then, merry-making and humor are highly desirable as symbols of the new joy the participants have supposedly "found." http://thegiganticheartlessmultinationalcorporation.com/id553.htmhttp://www.rense.com/ufo6/mindcontrol.htmHUMAN RIGHTS WATCH General The following is a list of Human Rights Watch publications that report on more than one country or region.

display the traits of their origins, the primary characteristic
of which is massive public relations and advertising campaigns
created to make robots acceptable to the public they were made
to replace.

"happy robots" or "sexy androids" while totally ignoring millions
of murderous robots in the form of anti- (human) personal

CIA admits to recording interrogations of top al Qaida captives
Greg Gordon McClatchy Newspapers
last updated: November 14, 2007 07:47:17 AM
WASHINGTON — The CIA has three video and audio recordings of interrogations of senior al Qaida captives but misled federal
judges about the evidence during the case against terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, federal prosecutors revealed in a Nov. 9
court filing that was made public Tuesday.
The disclosure is unlikely to undo Moussaoui's conviction because the agency said the material on the tapes doesn't pertain
to his case.
However, the disclosure that the government taped some interrogations of high-value detainees could invite fresh scrutiny of
the CIA's treatment of so-called "enemy combatants" who were held at secret prisons or U.S. bases overseas.
John Radsan, a former CIA assistant general counsel who teaches at the William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minn.,
called the revelation of the tapes "huge" news.
"So far, there has been great mystery about what was actually done to the high-value detainees," he said. "A videotape is
worth a thousand words."
New Attorney General Michael Mukasey's Senate confirmation last week was threatened for a time by his refusal to declare as
illegal an interrogation tactic known as "waterboarding", in which a suspect is doused with water to create the sensation of
drowning.
The government's letter said that "the CIA came into possession of the three recordings under unique circumstances involving
separate national security matters," leaving unclear whether the tapes show CIA interrogations or possibly questioning by
agents of another country. At least one senior al Qaida member, Ibn Sheikh al Libi, reportedly was turned over to Egyptian
authorities for questioning in 2002, but much of what he allegedly confessed proved to be false.
Prosecutors revealed the existence of the tapes in a letter to Chief Judge Karen Williams of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Richmond, Va., and to U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema of Alexandria, Va., the trial judge in the tumultuous,
4 1/2 year prosecution of Moussaoui.
In it, they said that the CIA didn't notify them until Sept. 13 that it had discovered a videotape and the transcript of an
interrogation of an unidentified detainee. Prosecutors said they then asked the CIA to perform "an exhaustive review" for
any other recordings of roughly a half dozen al Qaida captives whom Moussaoui had sought as defense witnesses, and a second
videotape and a brief audio tape were discovered.
Among the prisoners whose testimony Moussaoui sought were Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who allegedly admitted masterminding the
9/11 attacks after he was waterboarded; Ramzi Binalshibh, a senior al Qaida member who allegedly coordinated the attacks;
and financier Mustafa Ahmed al Hawsawi. Summaries of statements from those three and several others were read at his trial.
"The fact that audio/video recording of enemy combatant interrogations occurred, and that the United States was in possession
of three of those recordings is, as noted, inconsistent with factual assertions in CIA declarations dated May 9, 2003 . . .
and November 14, 2005," the prosecutors wrote.
"When the CIA discovered this material — and it was the CIA that found it — the agency brought the matter to the attention of
the Department of Justice," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said. He emphasized that "there was no prejudicial impact on the
defendant."
Edward MacMahon, a defense lawyer who represented Moussaoui in his death penalty trial last year, declined to comment. A new
team of defense lawyers who're handling Moussaoui's attempt to persuade an appellate court to allow him to withdraw his 2005
guilty plea didn't return calls.

In it, Jonathan Pryce's character, who has come to realize he lives in a fascist state, drives down an expressway. The walls to either side of the road surface are covered in billboards and advertisements. As Pryce's car drives away from the viewer, the camera ascends, revealing that just outside the walls, invisible to drivers, lies a grim wasteland. The vivid and friendly billboards hide the truth, which is that the actual world hidden from view by their flimsy walls is barren. It is post-industrially empty--and having stripped it, the state consoles its subjects by substituting pasted-up two-dimensional images advertising island vacations. When the movie opens, Pryce's Sam Lowry is an obedient, crushed civil servant whose only escape is dreams. Now he, and we, learn that this reality is a façade; the truth is bleaker and wilder.
That one shot has always seemed to me the most succinct visual expression of the heady thought that everyday life is an illusion. George Orwell, from whom the movie derives its worldview, is only its most important recent progenitor; the history of philosophy teems with rehearsals of this idea. Marx's "all that is solid melts into air" might as well have been the production motto for Brazil. To move right to the putative beginning, Plato's cave serves as our most canonical and enshrined mythic allegory of the the founding philosophical idea that something floats above the tangible, physical world: metaphysics. Critiques of fascism, capitalism and socialism all present the lived world as somehow fake.
The difference between various versions of the false consciousness concept lies in what lies behind the curtain. For Orwell, a fascist state imposes the veil, and behind lies an anarchic zone of freedom and restored personal agency. In much of American literature and film (particularly the Western), heroes must venture beyond the pale, into a realm of brutality and violence--paradoxically, this is done to ensure the safety of us civilized sissies. In Marx, of course, it is the commodity fetish that hides the true reality of class conflict, and capitalism that blinds us to the organic, uncommodified world. Though they differ in identifying the obscuring entity, all of these lines of thought share the trope of reality's unreality.
Gilliam's shot gets at this so directly that it replays in my mind from time to time. When I first saw it, its political aspect seemed a dystopian fantasy; over time, the film seems more and more prophetic and, frankly, descriptive. (I know you've been expecting that point.) But before we came to be ruled by criminals, I also saw the shot as a powerful descriptor of the contemporary world of big-box retailers and how they have, within a generation, supersized the landscape of the U.S. I truly believe this, Prince Charles-ish as it may sound: big box suburbia is an alienation factory. Here's the main reason: the sheer size of the various megastores means that when you're inside one, your entire experiential world is produced by committee. There's no randomness.
You might find yourself in a "marketplace" aisle, but it's all a Potemkin village staged by one massive concern. Great big posters promise a vivid diversity of products inside; outside is best described by Rem Koolhaas' term, junkspace. And other people? They have been turned into fellow shoppers or drones with no interest or stake in the larger enterprise. Frank Lucas, the subject of the recent (and unenjoyable) Ridley Scott movie American Gangster, makes this point in a funnier way (in this New York Magazine article):
"Lucas scowled through glareproof glass to the suburban strip beyond. 'Look at this shit,' he said. A giant Home Depot down the road especially bugged him. Bumpy Johnson himself couldn't have collected protection from a damn Home Depot, he said with disgust. 'What would Bumpy do? Go in and ask to see the assistant manager? Place is so big, you get lost past the bathroom sinks. But that's the way it is now. You can't find the heart of anything to stick the knife into.'"
There it is. Gangsters and cowboys are the ur-American figures for a reason: they represent freedom from political philosophy and empty consumerism. If the everday world is false consciousness, these are the people who live beyond it. The gangster lives in a world in which something like meritocracy holds--or at least, if not meritocracy, then true randomness, something besides the loaded dice of the system. The cowboy lives beyond the arm of the Law, and thus is free to be a freer, simpler, and ultimately more just version of the law. Both figures operate in zones of freedom that exist because of the failure of the state. Having no respect for political philosophy IS America's political philosophy.
So, Frank Lucas is saying, you know something's wrong, something's Orwellian about a landscape when gangsters and cowboys can no longer operate. Right? Right. Is our continuing fixation on gangsters and our barely concealed adulation of gangsters any coincidence, then? Are these gangster shows our colorful travel narratives, the compensation for living in a world as dreary as ours? My provisional answer is: yes. The one movie, by the way, that makes this symbiosis of exurb and gangster clear is GoodFellas--specifically it's last shot, in which Ray Liotta, banished to Arizona by the witness protection program, stands in front of the tract housing in which he lives. As he looks hopelessly, forlornly at the camera, we cut abruptly to Joe Pesci shooting up the screen, Great Train Robbery style. Tearing right through the veil. Now that's living! The gangster is the fantasy obverse of the man who knows his limits.
These days, people are especially fascinated by amoral protagonists: the absence of moral judgment is what everyone calls sophistication on The Sopranos and The Wire. This isn't new to American culture though. It's only new to TV. For a century, there have been the ultimate landscape movies, Westerns, in which the man who must blaze society's trail is unfit for polite society. (It's no coincidence that the bleak landscape in Gilliam's shot could easily be a Western one.) As A.O. Scott wrote yesterday,
"The archetypal western hero is a complicated figure, and the world he inhabits is a place of flux and contradiction. At the end, the stranger rides off into the wilderness, since the civilization he has helped to save holds no permanent place for him... Modernity may be inevitable and desirable, but it comes at a price. The wilderness will be cut down and cultivated; the original inhabitants will be dispossessed; and an element of romance will be lost."
Or will it? Do we not have other countries in which to unleash our wild freedom? The new frontier is the first frontier, the Tigris-Euphrates valley, and our representatives act as gangster-cowboys there while we exult in the televised fictions detailing the same. We sure do love some cleansing violence. And where better to stage it than a ruined, apocalyptic landscape (even if we have to ruin it first ourselves)? That's the funny thing about Gilliam's vision. It's equally bleak on either side. I think that's why it describes an enduring dialectic of paranoia. On the one hand, an alienating and utterly superficial consumerist culture and on the other, bleak lawlessness.
Maybe it's worth remembering that gangsters, unlike cowboys, do try to ensure some kind of stable order. Lucas says he wouldn't shake down the mom-and-pop stores, only larger establishments that had some profit in them. You don't want to strip your ecosystem past the point of collapse. Similarly, there's a famous story about the establishment of New York's most venerable pizzerias, those founded by apprenctices of the baker John Lombardi: Patsy's, Grimaldi's, Totonno's, Lombardi's. These places don't serve individual slices, just whole pies. The reason, the story goes, is that the mobsters who shook down pizza places exempted these oldest restaurants. Outta respect. But, so they wouldn't take too large of a cut of their business, they let them off the hook on one condition: that they wouldn't sell slices.
There's something wise in this anecdote. Don't punish your poorest and oldest constituents. Take more money from the large outfits, who can afford it. The mob, it seems, practiced progressive taxation. That's more than you can say for our contemporary elites. No wonder Lucas is so incensed by superstores. Their business is conducted at such a metahuman scale, who could shake them down? This is the final meaning, I think of all the gangster and cowboy fantasies: they are symptoms of a time in which ordinary people have knowledge of events but almost no ability to affect them. Protest goes unheard, while our government and multinational concerns ensure their safety and privacy to the detriment of ours. Gilliam's movie rendered society as a choice between being a chump or being an outlaw. For now, we're one dreaming we're the other.

After its introduction into European medicine in the early 1700’s, seneca became a highly sought after remedy for the treatment of respiratory problems. Presently, Manitoba supplies the vast majority of the global supply of wild seneca root. The recent resurgence of interest in natural remedies has greatly increased the demand for seneca root, raising concerns that natural populations in Manitoba may be over-harvested as occurred in eastern North America in the last century.... http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/science/botany/LABS/ECOLOGY/seneca.html (1 of 7) [11/14/2007 12:33:48 PM] EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE EXPLOITE

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Introduction 1.1 Fractal and Euclidean Geometries Western culture is obsessed with order, smoothness and symmetry, to the point that we often impose on nature patterns and models derived from classical Greek geometry. Historically this tendency can be traced to Plato, for whom the 'real' world consisted of smooth, Euclidean shapes created by a supreme being. By contrast, the world we inhabit was created by a lesser, demiurgical being, and is nothing more than a rough, asymmetrical copy of the 'real' world. According to Plato, the 'real' world can only be glimpsed occasionally through the mind. In this way, Plato was able to reconcile the inability of classical geometry (as later formulated by Euclid) to describe the world we inhabit. Peters (1994) has described fractal geometry as that of the Demiurge. Despite the fact that Euclidean geometry is a gross simplification of the world, western society has tenaciously clung to this ordered view. Such a view divorces us from nature, since we tend to perceive deviations from symmetry as fundamentally wrong, as something to be corrected. This is learned very early, for example when children are taught to represent complex natural objects such as trees as simple Euclidean constructs (e.g. triangles, circles, rectangles). In later life, we expend considerable effort creating and maintaining symmetric patterns in our gardens (Victorian topiary being an extreme example). Our architecture also reflects these deeply ingrained traditions of symmetry and order: a good early example is the Roman Pantheon, which incorporates three basic shapes of Euclidean geometry (the circle, triangle, and rectangle). More modern examples include the palaces of the French kings, the fascist architecture of Germany and Italy, and indeed any modern city skyline. It is instructive to note that human-made objects invariably stand out against the natural, more 'fractal' world. 1.2 What is Fractal Geometry? Mandelbrot (1975) introduced the term 'fractal' (from the latin fractus, meaning 'broken') to characterize spatial or temporal phenomena that are continuous but not differentiable. Unlike more familiar Euclidean constructs, every attempt to split a fractal into smaller pieces results in the resolution of more structure. Fractal objects and processes are therefore said to display 'self-invariant' (self-similar or self-affine) properties (Hastings and Sugihara 1993). Self-similar objects are isotropic upon rescaling, whereas rescaling of self-affine objects is direction-dependent (anisotropic). Thus the trace of particulate Brownian motion in two-dimensional space is self-similar, whereas a plot of the x-coordinate of the particle as a function of time is self-affine (Brown 1995). Fractal properties include scale independence, self-similarity, complexity, and infinite length or detail. Fractal structures do not have a single length scale, while fractal processes (time series) cannot be characterized by a single time scale (West and Goldberger 1987). Nonetheless, the necessary and sufficient conditions for an object (or process) to possess fractal properties have not been formally defined. Indeed, fractal geometry has been described as "a collection of examples, linked by a common 1.0 Fractals: An Introduction http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/science/botany/LABS/ECOLOGY/FRACTALS/intro.html (1 of 3) [11/14/2007 3:19:31 PM] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Synopsis
2003 99 min. Director: Peter Webber TV14
The subject of one of Johannes Vermeer's most enduring portraits becomes the focus
of this biographical period piece from director Peter Webber. Girl With a Pearl Earring
is told from the point of view of Griet (Scarlett Johansson), a teenaged girl who leaves
her family's care in the country to become a servant for the Vermeer household in the
comparatively bustling, canal-laden burgh of Delft. When she arrives, she finds herself
at the low end of the servant totem pole, until she's allowed to clean "the master's"
painting quarters. There, she catches the eye of the taciturn, reclusive Vermeer
(Colin Firth), and over a period of time, he begins to craft her portrait. Of course,
this does little to further his relationship with his jealous, pregnant wife, Catharina
(Essie Davis), or with his most vocal benefactor, van Ruijven (Tom Wilkinson), who often
dictates what portraits Vermeer should paint. Meanwhile, Griet navigates a sweet, tentative
relationship with a peasant boy her age (Cillian Murphy). Girl With a Pearl Earring had its
North American premiere at the 2003 Toronto Film Festival.
