With 360 movie panels, the sky over (almost) an entire year is shown in time lapse format as recorded by a video camera on the roof of the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco, California.

The camera recorded an image every 10 seconds from before sunrise to after sunset and from mid-2009 to mid-2010. A time stamp showing the local time of day is provided on the lower right. The videos are arranged chronologically, with July 28 shown on the upper left, and January 1 located about about half way down. Although every day lasts 24 hours, daylight lasts longest in the northern hemisphere in June and the surrounding summer months, a fact which can be seen here as the bottom (and soon top) videos are the first to light up with dawn. The initial darkness in the middle depicts the delayed dawn and fewer daylight hours of winter. A History of the Sky from Ken Murphy on Vimeo.

Carlo Van de Roer's Auracam 6000 photographs capture the colors of a person's soul. By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 01:54 GMT, 21 July 2013 | Updated: 14:01 GMT, 21 July 2013 Carlo Van de Roer doesn't just capture a person when he takes their photograph, he captures the color of their soul. In his psychedelic collection of images, the New Zealand-born snapper used an AuraCam 6000 camera to tune into the colors - or aura - that surround his different subjects - and the result is nothing short of spectacular. The innovative camera gathers biofeedback through hand sensors that measure the electromagnetic fields emitted from the person he's shooting. Miranda July, 2009 Terence Koh, 2008 James Frey, 2010 The information about the model's energetic and auric qualities are then projected as vivid colors onto the instant film. 'You get a mix of association between this information about the subject and a likeness of them in the final (photo),' Van de Roer told Slate.com.

Audit reveals new details about motion picture tax credits. New Orleans, La. - State Treasurer John Kennedy believers a newly-released performance audit of the state's Motion Picture Tax Credit program shows it's working. The report from the legislative auditor shows the state shells out a lot more than it gets back from the movie industry, but industry officials say that's only part of the story. "This is a camera truck and this is a one-room talent trailer," said Andre Champagne as he showed off a few or his company's assets.

Champagne's business, Hollywood Trucks, keeps the movie industry moving. "We've been in it since 2002. Louisiana's legislative auditor released a report Monday that shows the state issued $196 million in tax credits in 2010, but received only $27 million in tax revenue back. But, there's a flip side, as explained by the state treasurer.

In other words, for each dollar of tax credits the Office of Entertainment Industry Development issued in 2010, the total economic output was about $5.40. To read the audit, click here.

This title maybe misleading but the intention is pretty peaceful! Legend has it that after the World War II got over, American pilot Gale Halvorson airdropped candies in the name of hope, for the Berlin children. War equals devastation, so dropping candies instead of bombs was probably personal retribution. Inspired by this incident, designer Hwang Jin wook and pals have come up with a plan to combat deforestation and desertification of land in a similar fashion.

Their mission is called “Seedbomb.” Mission Seedbomb involves a bomber aircraft and charges full of the Seed Capsules. Essentially the project involves artificial dispersal of seeds over arid areas where natural vegetation has lapsed due to man-made follies like deforestation leading to desertification. Each capsule contains artificial soil and seeds, and are air-dropped over the selected regions. Designers: Hwang Jin wook, Jeon You ho, Han Kuk il & Kim Ji myung Like this: Like Loading...

Waterproof Quadcopter. Fly in the rain or over water with the QuadH2o. NIGHT BIRD SONG: The Thomas Chapin Story by Stephanie J. Castillo. About the Thomas Chapin flim project In the world of music, there are special people who come along and open the door to new levels, who take a genre and expose dimensions that have never before been heard. That was Thomas Chapin! In 1995, in the New York Times, Peter Watrous wrote: “Chapin… is a virtuoso… also one of the more schooled musicians in jazz, both technically and historically, and for his set he dug into the styles of everyone from Benny Carter to the 60’s avant-gardists, screeching and howling and huffing as if this were 1964 and he was breaking the rules of jazz into pieces.”

Thomas was my friend and the husband of my sister Terri. When he died on Feb. 13, 1998 his obit appeared in the New York Times, and music tributes were played on NPR stations from New England to California. Thomas's story and his remarkable but short career as a powerful musical force in the '80's & '90's has never been fully told, although he is included in the major encyclopedias of jazz. 2. 3. 4. Meet the Veneno, A $4 Million Lamborghini Made for Just 3 People. By: Jeremy Helms | March 5th, 2013 Of all the world’s supercar makers, none stretch the idea of an ultimate sports machine quite so far as Lamborghini. For its 50th anniversary, the Italian automaker has created its most bizarre car yet: Meet the Veneno, a $4 million alien craft that will be assembled for only three buyers who’ve already put down their deposits — and being sold out before it goes into production is only a hint of the Veneno’s speed.

Built from the Aventador chassis, Lamborghini says the Veneno was designed to come as close as possible to a Le Mans-quality race car that’s still usable on public roads. Power comes from a 740-hp version of the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V-12 linked to a 7-speed automated manual transmission and permanent all-wheel-drive, good for a top speed of 220 mph and 60 mph in less than three seconds.

Easter just wouldn’t be the same without chocolate and here’s a moist and tender chocolate cake shared a while back by Axel Giese, then the pastry chef at the Hotel Storchen in Zurich. The recipe is no more difficult than boiling water. In the photo the top of the cake is spread with a little melted chocolate and served with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and some whipped cream. I think the whipped cream is indispensible, but you can omit spreading the top of the cake with chocolate as well as the sauce – the cake is quite chocolaty without them.

Adapted from the Hotel Storchen, Zurich Makes one 8-inch cake, about 10 to 12 small, rich servings 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup sugar 8 tablespoons (1 stick/4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces 12 ounces premium semisweet chocolate in disks or cut into 1/4-inch pieces 2 tablespoons Kirsch or dark rum 6 large eggs Set a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees.

13 World Mysteries Without Explanation | Beyond Science. Chinese mosaic lines These strange lines are found at coordinates: 40°27’28.56″N, 93°23’34.42″E. There isn’t much information available on these strange, yet beautiful mosaic lines carved in the desert of the Gansu Sheng province in China. Some records indicate they were created in 2004, but nothing seems official.

Of note, these lines are somewhat near the Mogao Caves, which is a World Heritage Site. The lines span a very huge distance and yet still retain their linear proportions despite the curvature of the rough terrain.

The first discovery of this sort was made in 1851 when the workers in one of the Massachusetts mines extracted a zinc silver-incrusted vase from a block of unmined coal which dated all the way back to the Cambrian era which was approximately 500 million years ago. Sixty one years later, American scientists from Oklahoma discovered an iron pot which was pressed into a piece of coal aged 312 million years old. Then, in 1974, an aluminum assembly part of unknown origin was found in a sandstone quarry in Romania. Reminiscent of a hammer or a support leg of a spacecraft “Apollo”, the piece dated back to the Jurassic era and could not have been manufactured by a human. The metal detail which was recently found by Vladivostok resident is yet another discovery which perplexed the scientists.

Another question that interests Russian scientists is whether the aluminum alloy is of Earthly origin.
