Royals - Pentatonix (Lorde Cover) Play with your food: How to Make Sconic Sections. The conic sections are the four classic geometric curves that can occur at the intersection between a cone and a plane: the circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. The scone is a classic single-serving quick bread that is often served with breakfast or tea. And, at the intersection of the two, we present something entirely new, delightfully educational, and remarkably tasty: Sconic Sections. In what follows, we’ll show you how to bake cone-shaped scones, to slice them into plane geometric curves, and to highlight those curves by selective application of toppings. We’ll also discuss some of the methods that didn’t work so well, as we refined our methods for making these. Onwards, towards parabolic preserves and hyperbolic Nutella! Constructing your Cones The key to this recipe is creating cone-shaped scones, and the method is to use conical water cooler cups as baking wrappers.

The first step is to make scone dough. Pull off a golf-ball sized piece of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. Classical sculptures dressed as hipsters look contemporary and totally badass. Email I have just discovered a whole new dimension to classical sculpture. If you dress the sculptures as hipsters it gives them an awesome new look. They become contemporary and totally badass. Needless to say, they look a lot more human. Photos by photographer Léo Caillard and photo retoucher Alexis Persani. Leave your comment!

A year ago I wrote about this amazing geometric paper torso designed by artist Horst Kiechle. At the time the piece wasn’t actually complete as he was still perfecting how all the organs fit together thanks to feedback he received online.

At long last the model is done and Kiechle launched an extensive website with free downloadable templates you can print and assemble along with photographed step-by-step instructions for every single piece. So now there’s no excuse to not spend the next three months of your life on this. Good luck! BarePaint - Conductive Paint (50ml) Conductive paint: the technology that could change the world. The Bare Conductive paint pen contains a non-toxic electrically conductive paint. The pens work the same way as glitter glue pens, and are designed to help people explore elecronics, and learn about circuit making. Bare Conductive's House Kit contains two paper houses, wired with conductive paint, which light up in the dark.

Rather than hiring an electrician to install switches, conductive paint could be used to send power across the surface of your wall. Indeed, a whole wall could feasibly be coated with conductive paint to make fumbling for a light switch a thing of the past. Designer Patrick Stevenson-Keating developed a conductive paint-powered lamp for the 2012 Milan Furniture Fair. Bare Conductive's Matt Johnson travelled to Budapest Design Week and ran a workshop with University students at the Bloodmountain Foundation.
