中文rss源精选. Spaces Etc. Exhibition by Ron Gilad. The Spaces Etc. / An exercise in utility exhibition by Ron Gilad is one that really grabbed my attention.
The simple enameled brass and silver sculptures of items like chairs and cubes and shelves created using lines ask questions about the shapes that define our surroundings. With about 80 pieces in total, this massive body of work can’t be taken lightly. Although just about the entire collection spawns from a cubic form, the line-like cubic pieces are what are most interesting to me. They seem almost like drawings, and from what I understand were actually created based on plans found online. [NHK][纪录片]“嗨 裘德”和自由的故事.x264_在线视频观看_土豆网视频 NHK 故事 - Aurora.

The Euthanasia Coaster is designed to thrill the hell out of its passengers just before it kills them.
Each inversion would have a smaller diameter than the one before in order to inflict 10 g to passengers while the train loses speed. After a sharp right-hand turn the train would enter a straight, where unloading of bodies and loading of passengers could take place. The Euthanasia Coaster would kill its passengers through prolonged cerebral hypoxia, or insufficient supply of oxygen to the brain. The ride's seven inversions would inflict 10 g on its passengers for 60 seconds -- causing g-force related symptoms starting with gray out through tunnel vision to black out and eventually g-LOC, g-force induced loss of consciousness. Depending on the tolerance of an individual passenger to g-forces, the first or second inversion would cause cerebral anoxia, rendering the passengers brain dead.
The Tale Of A Wolfram Research Co-founder And His Beloved “Periodic Table Table” [Video] Out of the annals of history comes this doozy.
![The Tale Of A Wolfram Research Co-founder And His Beloved “Periodic Table Table” [Video]](http://cdn.pearltrees.com/s/pic/th/research-periodic-techcrunch-23804980)
A man by the name of Theodore Gray is a co-founder of Wolfram Research, best known as the creator of Wolfram Alpha, the two-year-old computational answer engine, which Siri uses for 25 percent of her mobile searches. Along with Stephen Wolfram, Gray helped develop Mathematica, the computational software used in technical computing that makes Wolfram Alpha, among other things, tick. He is an author, polymath, and, it seems, an amateur Chemist — or should I say, element collector. Yes, as the story goes, about 10 years ago, he built and created his own wooden “periodic table table” (presumably on company time), complete with compartments underneath in which Gray collects samples of the periodic table’s elements.
