Stone Island Heat Reactive Jacket *notcot in wearable , 07:18 Thermochromatic goods seem to come and go and never quite disappear… remember when American Apparel brought it back and AZFN did their version too? Well latest to run into is Stone Island’s Heat Reactive Jacket “A hooded bomber jacket in cotton nylon canvas with thermosensitive liquid crystals, the garment changes colour according to the temperature. The fabric of the heat reactive jacket is treated with a thermo-sensitive coating that changes colour at high temperatures. Beginning at 27 degrees the molecules within the micro- capsules of the external strata undergo a rotation modifying the light course. The colour of the garment gradually begins to morph from the dark colour of the surface coating to a much lighter and brighter surface colour. See the video of it dramatically changing colors Tags: fashion - gifts - outdoors - shopping - technology

For the love of a man Personal Motivation - Rinku Kalsy, Director This film has been an extremely dear project both for Joyojeet and me, as both of us have grown up with a passion for Indian cinema. We have spent close to 4 years in research, watching films, spending time with fans and filmmakers, and finally documenting a number of key events. Our intention is to make a film that captures two important and parallel issues. First, our film explores the unique importance of popular culture for the lives of people in South India. The second issue we cover, by following the fans in their daily lives, is understanding fan culture from a socio-economic perspective. The goal at the end of the film is to tell a human story of passion, devotion, and expression. Project Description "Bollywood’ a derivative assigned to the Bombay Hindi film industry, has been of international interest since forays into Indian film narrative style by Hollywood blockbusters like Slumdog Millionaire.
Jewellery sends emergency health alerts 20 May 2011Last updated at 13:15 Dougie Kinnear's design has an electronic chip embedded in it A Dundee art student has designed a piece of jewellery that can "broadcast" the wearer's hidden medical conditions to paramedics in an emergency. Dougie Kinnear, 50, said existing medical alert bracelets were often "unattractive". He said his looked like fashion jewellery but had a microchip in it. Paramedics can scan the chip to be warned about conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy or asthma before treating the patient. Mr Kinnear, a jewellery student at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, said normal medical bracelets marked the wearer out as being afflicted with a medical condition - which put many people off wearing them. Mr Kinnear's artwork is designed to be indistinguishable from other pieces of jewellery, but can hold the entire medical history of a patient. The jewellery be displayed in the Duncan and Jordanstone College 2011 degree show, which opens on Saturday.

Picture of the Day: A Tiny River House in Serbia «TwistedSifter Oct 17, 2012 My friend Dan G. emailed me this wonderful photograph by Irene Becker that shows a tiny house in the middle of the Drina River near the town of Bajina Basta, Serbia. The capture was highlighted by National Geographic as one of the best ‘Photos of the Day‘ for the month of August 2012. The Drina is a 346 km long river that forms much of the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Live Painted Models Blend Seamlessly into Graffiti Background While many artists seek to replicate reality through three-dimensional paintings, Los Angeles-based artist Alexa Meade goes the opposite route and paints on three-dimensional subjects to make them seem two-dimensional. The clever artist uses her keen eye for color and experience in painting to cover real-life figures in acrylic, transforming them into a seemingly flat work of art. Meade, whose work has caught our attention in the past, manages to not only paint live models into believable 2D renditions of themselves, but also integrates them into walls covered in multi-hued graffiti. She merges her fine art skills with street art and photography to produce these remarkable images of stencil-like monochrome urban youths against colorful spray painted murals.

Color-changing, heat-sensitive bandage indicates infection The color-changing, heat-sensitive fiber researchers plan to weave into bandages (Image: Louise van der Werff/CSIRO) Image Gallery (2 images) Australian researchers have developed a fiber that changes color in response to temperature with the aim of creating a smart bandage that can indicate the state of underlying wounds and warn of infection. With the ability to show temperature changes of less than 0.5 of a degree Celsius, the smart bandage would allow for easier and faster identification of healing problems that are typically accompanied by an increase or decrease in local temperature, such as infection or interruptions to blood supply. Lead inventor of the color-changing fiber, Louise van der Werff, a CSIRO materials scientist and Monash University PhD student, says that weaving the fiber into a bandage will allow clinicians to determine the temperature across the wound and surrounding tissue. This isn't the first bandage we've seen designed to indicate infection by changing color.
