http://tangible.media.mit.edu/projects/glume/
Glume is a computationally enhanced translucent modeling medium which offers a generalized modular scalable platform with the physical immediacy of a soft and malleable tangible material.
The Glume system consists of soft and translucent augmented interlocking modules, each embedded with a full spectrum LED, which communicate capacitively to their neighbors to determine a network topology and are responsive to human touch.
We envision Glume as a viable tool for modeling, visualization and simulation of three dimensional data sets in which users construct and manipulate models whose morphology is determined through the distributed system. The Glume system provides a new and novel means for expression and investigation of organic forms and processes not possible with existing materials by relaxing the rigidity of structure in previous solid building block approaches.

Pictured: The floating cities that could one day house climate change refugees By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 2:13 AM on 04th July 2008 At first glance, they look like a couple of giant inflatable garden chairs that have washed out to sea But they are, apparently, the ultimate solution to rapidly rising sea levels. This computer-generated image shows two floating cities, each with enough room for 50,000 inhabitants.
Enlarge The 'Lilypad' cities would be powered by renewable energy sources Based on the design of a lilypad, they could be used as a permanent refuge for those whose homes have been covered in water. Major cities including London, New York and Tokyo are seen as being at huge risk from oceans which could rise by as much as 3ft by the end of this century. This solution, by the award-winning Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, is designed to be a new place to live for those whose homelands have been wiped out. The 'Lilypad City' would float around the world as an independent and fully self-sustainable home. With a lake at its centre to collect and purify rainwater, it would be accessed by three separate marinas and feature artificial mountains to offer the inhabitants a change of scenery from the seascape. Power for the central accommodation hub is provided through a series of renewable energy sources including solar panels on the mountain sides, wind turbines and a power station to harness the energy of the waves. Mr Callebaut said: 'The design of the city is inspired by the shape of the great Amazonia Victoria Regia lilypad. Some countries spend billions of pounds working on making their beaches and dams bigger and stronger. 'But the lilypad project is actually a long-term solution to the problem of the water rising.' The architect, who has yet to estimate a cost for his design, added: 'It's an amphibious city without any roads or any cars. The whole city is covered by plants housed in suspended gardens. 'The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.' 'Some countries spend billions of pounds working on making their beaches and dams bigger and stronger.'But the Lilypad project is actually a long term solution to the problem of the water rising.'And it has the other objective of providing housing for refugees from islands that have been submerged.' Enlarge
The Lilypad city would house climate change refugees Centred around a lake which collects and then purifies rain water, the Lilypad will drift around the world following the ocean currents and streams.It will be accessed by three marinas and will also feature three 'mountains' to offer the inhabitants a change of scenery.Power will be provided through a series of renewable energy sources including solar, thermal, wind energy, hydraulic and a tidal power station.The city will actually produce much more energy than it consumes and be entirely 'zero-emission' as all the carbon-dioxide and the waste will be recycled. Mr Callebaut added: 'It's an amphibious city without any roads or any cars.The whole city is covered by plants housed in suspended gardens. The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.'I think trying to accomodate the millions of people left homeless by environmental changes will prove to be one of the great challenges of the 21st century.' Neither the cost of building the city or the cost of living there have been revealed.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global sea level is expected to rise between nine and 88 centimetres by 2100, with a 'best estimate' of 50 centimetres.This is due to global warming which is causing the ice caps to melt. In many places, 50 centimetres would see entire beaches being washed away, together with a significant chunk of the coastline. On low-lying Pacific islands such as Tuvalu, Kiribati or the Maldives, the highest point is only two or three metres above current sea levels.If the sea level was to rise by 50cm, significant portions of these islands would be washed away by erosion or covered by water. Even if they remain above the sea, many island nations will have their supplies of drinking water reduced because sea water will invade their freshwater stocks.There are also tens of millions of people living in low-level coastal areas of southern Asia, such as the coastlines of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Burma, who would be in danger.
Comments (9)
Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below? The credibility of the IPCC sinks lower and lower as their wild claims about the future get sillier and sillier. There is no evidence that sea levels will rise by more than about 10cm (four inches) by 2100. They have been on the rise slowly ever since the end of the Little Ice Age, and there is no sign of any acceleration of the rate in recent times. If anything, the rate of rise is likely to decrease in coming years. The IPCC is ignoring the facts and relying on faulty computer models. There are currently no 'climate change refugees', and that is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

TU Delft recently presented the minute DelFly Micro air vehicle. This successor to the DelFly I and II weighs barely 3 grams, and with its flapping wings is very similar to a dragonfly.
Ultra-small, remote-controlled micro aircraft with cameras, such as this DelFly, may well be used in the future for observation flights in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas.
The DelFly Micro is a 'Micro Air Vehicle' (MAV), an exceptionally small remote-controlled aircraft with camera and image recognition software. The Micro, weighing just 3 grams and measuring 10 cm (wingtip to wingtip) is the considerably smaller successor to the successful DelFly I (2005) and DelFly II (2006).
The DelFly Micro, with its minuscule battery weighing just 1 gram, can fly for approximately three minutes and has a maximum speed of 5 m/s. Ultra-small remote-controlled, camera-equipped aircraft are potentially of great interest because they could eventually be used for observation flights in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas.
Nature
The basic principle of the DelFly is derived from nature. The 'dragonfly' has a tiny camera (about 0.5 grams) on board that transmits its signals to a ground station.
With software developed by TU Delft itself, objects can then be recognized independently. The camera transmits TV quality images, and therefore allows the DelFly II to be operated from the computer. It can be maneuvered using a joystick as if the operator was actually in the cockpit of the aircraft. The aim is to be able to do this with the DelFly Micro too.
Miniaturization
The development of the DelFly is above all the story of continuing miniaturisation of all the parts, from the DelFly I (23 grams and 50 cm) via the DelFly II (16 grams and 30 cm) to the present DelFly Micro (3 grams and 10 cm).
The DelFly II drew huge attention in 2006 because it could fly horizontally (21 km/hr) as well as hover, just like a hummingbird, and also fly backwards. The DelFly Micro, incidentally, cannot do this just yet.
In a few years time, the new objective of the project, the DelFly NaNo (5 cm, 1 gram) will have been developed. The Micro is an important intermediate step in this development process. A second objective for the future is for the DelFly to be able to fly entirely independently thanks to image recognition software.

The 'Meaning' of Fifteen Flower Mandalas Fifteen Flower Mandalas
I'd like to take this space to thank those of you who have downloaded my free Fifteen Flower Mandalas screensaver, and particularly those who have written back. The responses so far have been interesting. Until now, I didn't know that people from all parts of the world -- from the tip of Alaska to Cape Town and beyond -- were checking into this blog. That, alone, is gratifying. And I'm grateful to those of you who shared your positive responses to my work, and to those, as well, who have shared their similar struggles with life, death, near-death, and everything in between. It has been, and continues to be, a heart-warming bounty. Thank you.
Several of you have asked me to send you, along with the screensaver, the "meaning" of each mandala. There's no simple answer to this question. I can list the flowers from which they were derived, and some feelings and thoughts that occur to me when I look at them, but I believe each viewer, if he or she meditates on a particular image, will come away from it with a different sense, one specific to that person in that moment.
Here are the flowers. They match up, from top-left to bottom-right, with the mandalas in the above image.
Row 1: Beach Rose, Blue Pansy, Dandelion Head, Daylily (rear view), Dying Amaryllis. Row 2: Galliardia 'Arizona Sun', Iris Germanica, Marigold, Pink Dahlia, Pink Peony. Row 3: Queen Anne's Lace, Violet Morning Glory, White Lily, White Rose, Yellow Lily.
Some feelings I get (now, today): From the Beach Rose, love. From the Blue Pansy, stillness. From the Dandelion Head, rebirth. From the Dying Amaryllis, vastness and motion. From the Galliardia, surprise. From the Iris Germanica, a meeting of masculine and feminine energy. From the Marigold, momentum and stability (the 'flywheel'). From the Pink Dahlia, openness. From the Pink Peony, protection. From the Queen Anne's Lace, playfulness. From the Violet Morning Glory, a holy spirit. From the White Lily, complexity. From the White Rose, transformation. From the Yellow Lily, strength.
What feelings do you get from these images? Let me know, either as a comment to this post or to in the Art, Healing, and Transformation group.
More anon, and thanks in advance for your responses.See you in cyberspace, - David David J. Bookbinder, LMHC Request a free flower mandala screensaver: Fifteen Flower Mandalas

Statement What is Crystalpunk?!
Crystalpunk is a simpleton stampede, a coxcomb carnival, a daydreamers cabal, a platitude-peddling potlatch, a nihilists ambulation on tiptoe, an incantation of the language in the corners of your eyes, a wild farrago of those who run before they can walk, an ABD of being Free from the NOW! NOW! NOW! We wear non-matching socks: that is who we are!

Air Force Advanced Power Technology Office (APTO) Leads Multi-Service Aviation Milestone Event
02/02/2007
Robins AFB, Georgia– The Air Force Advanced Power Technology Office (APTO), headquartered at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia recently announced the first military airlift of a fuel cell powered military vehicle. The effort to convert the vehicle was a true multi-service collaboration including the U.S. Army Engineering Research and Development Center/Construction Engineering Research Laboratory’s Fuel Cell Test and Evaluation Center (FCTec), the U.S. Marine Corps, MAG-49 Det Bravo C-130 Airlift Unit and the U.S. Air Force APTO.
The MB-4 Aircraft Towing Tractor, a four wheel drive, four wheel steer, 14,000 pound drawbar pull vehicle was converted from a diesel powered mechanical drive vehicle to a fuel cell powered electric drive vehicle. The integration effort, accomplished by Concurrent Technologies Corporation, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, incorporates a Hydrogenics, Incorporated 65kW Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell system, Dynetek Industries’ carbon fiber wrap hydrogen storage system and Enova’s Panther 120 Drive System . The combination of these subsystems enables the vehicles towing capacity to remain unchanged, while the addition of a power inverter enhanced the vehicles capability by permitting power generated by the fuel cell to be delivered to aircraft and/or ancillary support equipment.
The vehicle was transported to Hickam AFB, Hawaii by Marine C-130 airlift on the 20th of October, 2006. The vehicle will be put through a demonstration/validation program while in daily use at Hickam AFB.

Military’s Active Denial System is First True Ray Gun John Dodge, Editor-in-Chief -- 3/6/2008 9:24:00 AM
This breakthrough looks like an airport radar except the one rolled out to the media recently is mounted on a hybrid Humvee. The operator sitting in the Humvee lines up the target and fires a 95 GHz blast from a 100 kW ultra-high-frequency radio transmitter.
The sensation at the target up to 500m away is akin to taking a heat blast from an opened “oven door,” according to Marine Corps. Col. Kirk Hymes. “This does not incapacitate them. This pushes them back and out of the way,” he says. As such, the unit promises to be another tool for crowd control or for protection of Navy ships.
“Navy ships have curious onlookers who try to push the envelope. Let’s steer closer to those big Navy ships. But we have a tremendous responsibility to protect the men and women on that ship. When there is mixture of terrorists and tourists and they are not readily moving back, this system can be used to gently push those individuals back.
It does not have a lasting effect,” he says, adding that the weapon’s development really accelerated after the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000
Indeed, the 1 mm radio wave penetrates the top 1/64th of an inch of skin and just down to the nerve endings. When hit, the target moves away from the beam and the sensation ceases. Each blast is four sec and in testing with 600 volunteers and 10,000 exposures, the Air Force, which has developed the technology over the past 15 years, claims there is only one tenth of a 1 percent chance of minor injury such as a blister or rash.
The device comes at a time when the military is serving in a multitude of non-traditional roles such as peace-keeping and humanitarian efforts.
“We have instances where helicopters had a hard time landing to deliver foodstuffs.
Hunger is a pretty motivating factor and if I was senior member of my tribe or clan and I’ve watched my family die from hunger, I’ll do what it takes to get those foodstuffs. How do you non-lethally get them to stand in an orderly fashion so the food can be delivered safely and proportionally and protect those who aren’t in a rush?
If you can target individuals to stay back, leave the area or form and orderly line, it only takes a couple of individuals to be targeted and it says there’s something going on here,” says Col. Hymes.
At the heart of the transmitter is a water-cooled gyrotron developed by CPI Inc. based in Palo Alto, CA. The gyrotron creates the radio frequency beam. The aiming device is comprised of “relatively simple” optics, which look down the center of beam.
In addition to the Humvee-mounted unit, the Air Force has also built one containerized version, which is armored and enclosed to survive rugged environments. Each system costs about $10 million, says Hymes.
Raytheon is the systems integrator.
The testing of the ADS itself has been proven and now focuses on how it can be maintained and operated in challenging environments such as Iraq’s dust and heat.

SUPER-EFFICIENT ELECTROLYSIS
Water can be broken into Hydrogen and Oxygen using electricity. Standard chemistry books claim that this process requires more energy than can be recovered when the gases are recombined. This is true under normal circumstances, but it is not true under ALL circumstances. When ordinary tap water is hit with a series of high voltage impulses, using a system developed by Stan Meyer (USA) and again more recently by Xogen Power (Canada), it splits into Hydrogen and Oxygen gas with significantly less electrical input.
Even ordinary electrolysis can be made more efficient by using different electrolytes (additives that make the water conduct electricity better). For instance, Potassium Hydroxide works better than Sodium Hydroxide. It is also known that certain geometric structures and surface textures on the electrodes work better than others. Stan Meyer used concentric tubes with very close tolerances instead of the standard practice of parallel flat plates.
The implication is that unlimited amounts of Hydrogen fuel can be made to drive engines (like in your car) for the cost of water. Even more amazing is the fact that a special metal alloy was patented by Freedman (USA) in 1957 that spontaneously breaks water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, with no outside electrical input and without causing any chemical changes in the metal itself. This means that this special metal alloy can make Hydrogen from water for free, forever.

"...Water can be broken into Hydrogen and Oxygen using electricity. Standard chemistry books claim that this process requires more energy than can be recovered when the gases are recombined. This is true only under the worst case scenario. When water is hit with its own molecular resonant frequency, using a system developed by Stan Meyers (USA) and again recently by Xogen Power, Inc., it collapses into Hydrogen and Oxygen gas with very little electrical input. Also, using different electrolytes (additives that make the water conduct electricity better) changes the efficiency of the process dramatically.

My view of Islam from Ali in Kuwait Ros Atkins 17 Jul 07, 02:56 PM Hi Ros and everyone at WHYS.
I am a British convert to Islam (12 years ago). I listen to the World Service and your programme all the time in my car and I can't help but notice how many items concern Islam and Muslims, often in a negative light. This has been disturbing me for some time because I feel that Islam is not being properly presented or understood. I want to hear the good things about Islam presented and debated...
I find all the talk about moderate versus extreme or modern versus fundamental etc quite irrelevant and totally missing the point. Islam is a faith – a belief system based on funda mental principles, doctrines and texts.
At the core is belief in the oneness of God and that Muhammad is His last Messenger. Islam is also a way of life. It is a religious way of life that puts worship of God at the centre.
It makes no sense to talk of "secular Islam". The main objective of the secular movement is to put religion into a box and remove its influence from the core of society. Unfortunately many Muslims are happy to go along with this view, largely because it gives them a good excuse not to follow their religion.
Here are a few examples of the benefits of a Muslim society where Muslims actually practise Islam:
1. It is free of alcohol and drugs and all the related disease, crime, costs etc.
2. The (extended) family is the fundamental building block of society.
3. Women are not exploited as sexual objects.
4. Children respect their parents and authority figures such as teachers.
5. Old people are respected, cared for by their families and not put into institutions when they can no longer care for themselves.
6. People respect each other and each other's property.
7. There is little crime.
8. There is justice.
9. People are honest.
10. There are no homeless people.
11. People do not get into debt by buying things they can't afford on credit.
12. Children have two parents.
13. Orphans are cared for.
14. People put the worldly life in proper perspective, are not beset by psychological problems such as depression and suicide is a rarity.
Nuff said

To like in a religious state would be a step backwards for progress. Sure, some of the things you listed are nice concepts, but no place on earth will be free of crime, no place will have total "justice" (what is that anyways, say if someone wants to leave the fate, but under Islam, apostasy is a capital offense, is that Justice for that person?). If you're happy with no more scientific progress, then fine, but while you'll be living in that religious state, people in my country are planning a trip to Mars, and the technologies created for that will benefit people here on earth. Not everyone wants to live in a religious state, and you're seemingly wanting to impose your way on everyone else, whereas athiests don't impose their beliefs. you're free to practice your religion as you wish in the confines of your home or your mosque, but don't impose your views on everyone else. If you have problems with things, such as alcohol, drugs, or objectifying women, I would recommend you don't drink, don't do drugs, and don't objectify women. That's easier than imposing your views on everyone else. Remember, not everyone shares your beliefs, but I'll respect your way of life if you respect mine and leave me free to live my life as I want.

Living here in the USA, where there is homelessness, where 25 percent or more of young boys and girls are not safe from monster adults, where females are not respected in media to the point we have no valid identities, etc etc you are trying to live a life in a society which has value and meaning. In the USA we also live where our leaders are caught up in the hysteria of a never-ending war on terrorism which is too often against Islam and ignores our own responsibilities for such as the horrific death toll of the men, women and children of Iraq. The Catholics say: If you want peace,work for justice. People of faith, and there are many faiths, do want peace and do work for justice. And you make clear followers of Islam, Muslims, work for a better world.
As for the other Ali, I for one, don't need your sarcasm.

This is why it has fooled western liberal democracies so easily. In their eagerness to be fair, impartial, and allow freedom of all to believe in and practice their own religion, for the longest time they have refused to see that unlike other religions, Islam will not only try to convince others of the correctness of their views but failing that to force them on all of us through violence and tyranny. It isn't the Western media which portrays Islam this way, it is Islam which does this itself and the stories concerning Islam speak for themselves. But you don't have to come to this conclusion on your own, those most adamant about imposing Islam on us all will tell you this openly and explicitly including people living in Britain who would impose Sharia law on everyone.
Unless Islam can put itself in the box of a private affair between individuals and what they see as their god in their own lives, then as a social movement it cannot and will not be tolerated.
Its doctrine is in direct conflict not merely with democracy but with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations. These are the inalienable rights of man which neither Islam nor anyone else's doctrine can deny to people.
http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html
Article 18. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
The militant imposition of Islam on all of humanity has been and will continue to be met with whatever resistance is necessary including military force and this could escalate to far more violent and widespread war than we have seen so far. It does not appear some in Islam would be convinced otherwise.
