Yesterday turned out to be a fantastic day – Daniel Miracle and others from Escuelab took me out to visit a community called Cantagallo which they’ve been working with for some weeks. Daniel sets up TV transmitters and creates local TV stations with a range of ~500 meters for only about $300. The Cantagallo community is a group of Shipibo, a group native to the Amazon region of Peru, near Pucallpa. About 100 families have moved here to the bank of the river Rimac here in Peru, on top of a landfill, starting about 9 years ago. They’re currently in negotiations to gain a title to the land they’ve been living on, which the Escuelab folks believe belongs to the Municipality of Lima. They invited me out to come make maps with them in the hopes that the resulting data can support their territorial claim.

We also managed to take a picture of a map the Shipibo of Cantagallo are using as part of their title negotiations – and hope to fill it out with streets, homes, etc. Berlin Map. Giant map of Berlin nears completion in Berlin. Berlin: City of Diversity – A 1:775 Scale Map on the Schlossplatz | andBerlin. As soon as I heard that a large-scale map of Berlin was being created on the Schlossplatz, entitled City of Diversity (Stadt der Vielfalt), as part of the city’s 775th anniversary celebrations I was fascinated to see how it would turn out. Over the course of the next 9 days I went to the Schlossplatz 3 times to see how the group of artists were progressing with their work. Unfortunately, I was out of the country when the finished map was opened to the public but was keen to visit when I got back to Berlin. The map has been created on a 1:775 scale on the ground opposite the Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral) where work will begin on the Humboldt Forum in 2013. An area measuring 50 metres by 50 metres was set aside for the map that was created using 274 stencils, each measuring 3.5m by 1.5m.

A series of poles embedded in the map pin-point some of the contributions immigrants have made.

News For You. Hyper Intelligent Spiders Work Together to Lure, Trap and Eat Human Prey – Zooillogix. So that title may be a little sensationalistic… but the web is alive this morning (no pun intended) with stories about an enormous series of interconnected webs spread out over a 200 yard area in North Texas.

Researchers and visitors alike have been drawn to the sprawling web, but were uncertain whether it was created by social spiders or one terrifying giant spider with unlimited silk production capabilities and a strong work ethic. Kind of a cross between the queen in Aliens and the giant spider, Shelob, that Frodo fights on his way to Mordor.

Turns out the social spider theory was correct! Identified on Bug Girl’s Blog (where would I be without you?) (From CNN) “At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland,” said Donna Garde, superintendent of Lake Tawakoni State Park, about 45 miles east of Dallas. Social Spider Bar Mitzvah / A scene from a Hoofnagle nightmare Theridion nigroannulatum (picture from the New Scientist) String. Known mostly in for his graffiti-influenced string tags on the streets of Minneapolis, Eric Rieger aka HOT TEA (previously here and here), recently completed this massive installation at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Titled Letting Go, the piece uses 84 miles of colored string that forms the artist’s interpretation of the sun.

In a statement about the work Rieger says: At least once in our lives we have all had to let go of something we truly love. Whether it be a pet, personal object or in some cases, loved ones. Definitely check out the timelapse of the installation, the upside-down haircut at the end looks like it was a lot of fun. Ball-Nogues Studio.

As quantity of production increases from Q to Q2, the average cost of each unit decreases from C to C1. In microeconomics, economies of scale are the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to size, output, or scale of operation, with cost per unit of output generally decreasing with increasing scale as fixed costs are spread out over more units of output. Often operational efficiency is also greater with increasing scale, leading to lower variable cost as well. Economies of scale apply to a variety of organizational and business situations and at various levels, such as a business or manufacturing unit, plant or an entire enterprise.

For example, a large manufacturing facility would be expected to have a lower cost per unit of output than a smaller facility, all other factors being equal, while a company with many facilities should have a cost advantage over a competitor with fewer.
