Maison Martin Margiela launches first wallpaper collections for Omexco

The Maison Martin Margiela collection includes trompe l'œil, optical illusions and reinterpreted motifs and comprises five designs: La Paésine, La Mosaïque, Le Rideau, Le Point de Croix, and L'optique. La Paésine features a Tuscan limestone pictured at the bottom of each repeat. The designers spotted the stone at a flea market, photographed it and enlarged the photograph. The image was digitally printed onto mica mineral dust on a non-woven backing, giving the finished wallpaper a tactile quality. It comes in a natural version, as well as black and white. La Mosaïque is based on a geometric mosaic pattern, most commonly seen in 18th-century marquetry, that creates a three-dimensional effect. Le Rideau depicts an ageing staircase in the trompe l'oeil style. Seeking Growth, The Payments Industry Embraces New Technologies. Now a victim of its own omnipresent success, the global electronic payments industry is increasingly turning to new technologies as it looks to expand its footprint and find new ways to make money by getting consumers to spend theirs.

Seeking Growth, The Payments Industry Embraces New Technologies

The pace of technological advancement in the payments market has even caused regulators to take notice, with innovations like cryptocurrencies continuing to grab headlines and attract government scrutiny at the federal and state level. Those same regulators are also looking for ways to alleviate the financial pressures and burdens that affect the underbanked and to address the issues of privacy and security that continue to bedevil the industry. These are no small problems, but then again, the electronic payments business is no small industry.

When the numbers go down by four, an alpha particle has been emitted. When the numbers stay the same, a beta particle has been emitted. Most of the time, but not always, there is a gamma ray emitted to accompany the alpha or beta emission. Thus uranium-238 changes into thorium-230 (in three stages), which then changes into radium-226, and thence into radon-222. The numbers keep getting smaller because the atoms are losing a part of themselves.. . . back to [ TABLE OF CONTENTS ] B.

Fukushima’s Catastrophic Aftermath: The Dangers of Worldwide Nuclear Radiation. In her book titled “No Immediate Danger: Prognosis for a Radioactive Earth,” nuclear power/environmental health expert Rosalie Bertell (1929 – 2012) said: “Should the public discover the true health cost(s) of nuclear pollution, a cry would rise from all parts of the world and people would refuse to cooperate passively with their own death.” In her article titled “Radioactivity: No Immediate Danger,” she coined a new word. “Omnicide” describes the ultimate human rejection of life. It’s “difficult to comprehend,” but it’s happening, she said.

She called industrial radioactive pollution “cumulatively greater than Chernobyl. Industry propaganda falsely claims nuclear power is clean and green. Préoccupations liées au nucléaire au Japon – FAQ. About Ionizing Radiation. Ionizing radiation has always been a part of the human environment. Along with natural radioactive sources present in the Earth's crust and cosmic radiation, man-made sources also contribute to our continuous exposure to ionizing radiation. Environmental radioactive pollution has resulted from past nuclear weapons testing, nuclear waste disposal, accidents at nuclear power plants, as well as from transportation, storage, loss, and misuse of radioactive sources. While there are risks associated with exposure to radiation benefits of nuclear applications in medicine industry and science are well established.

WHO’s radiation programme aims to assure that the benefits of radiation technology far exceeds any known risks.
