Your community resource for 3ds MAXScript or SketchUp Rubyscript Dirkon - The Paper Camera [pinhole.cz] During the 1970s, magazines published in Communist Czechoslovakia were controlled by the state, like the majority of other enterprises. Very few good magazines were available and were difficult to get hold of, so people would borrow and exchange them when given the opportunity. This also applied to magazines aimed at young people, which was probably one of the reasons why almost everyone from my generation, when we get on to the subject of pinhole cameras, has fond memories of the cut-out paper camera known as Dirkon*, published in 1979 in the magazine ABC mladých techniků a přírodovědců [An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists]. Its creators, Martin Pilný, Mirek Kolář and Richard Vyškovský, came up with a functional pinhole camera made of stiff paper, designed for 35 mm film, which resembles a real camera. It may not be the most practical of devices, but it works! A few notes about the original instructions The instructions recommend using Foma 21° DIN film.

Beautiful Bedrooms If you are a regular follower, you will know that we occasionally compile a list of beautiful designs for a particular room or space. Sometimes we make these posts cover general topics like foyers or bathrooms but occasionally we go as specific as to even deal with a specific colour like green living rooms or white dining rooms. This post about bedrooms is actually quite random. We just compiled a list of beautiful bedrooms we saw around the net of late. If you feel that there is another beautiful bedroom out there that needs to be featured here at Home-Designing, please mention that in the comments.

Offices Reminiscent of the Past | Crystal Kiss - Strange News an Working in an office back in the days used to be real fun. The kind of corporate environment that existed within the office in the past and the office apparatus they used to have is utterly extraordinary compared to what we know now. You had to learn stylistic ways to carry a stereo anywhere in one hand; whether within the office, or in corporate parties. Office gadgets definitely changed. Forget how the keys in type machines looked like shooting daggers; it was an in-thing being a typewriter geek. And with such a kind of office, you got to have a bit of live around you; preferably a dog pet. Posing to a picture could put supermodels to a big shame.
Cell Size and Scale Some cells are visible to the unaided eye The smallest objects that the unaided human eye can see are about 0.1 mm long. That means that under the right conditions, you might be able to see an ameoba proteus, a human egg, and a paramecium without using magnification. A magnifying glass can help you to see them more clearly, but they will still look tiny. Smaller cells are easily visible under a light microscope. It's even possible to make out structures within the cell, such as the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts. To see anything smaller than 500 nm, you will need an electron microscope. Adenine The label on the nucleotide is not quite accurate. How can an X chromosome be nearly as big as the head of the sperm cell? No, this isn't a mistake. The X chromosome is shown here in a condensed state, as it would appear in a cell that's going through mitosis. A chromosome is made up of genetic material (one long piece of DNA) wrapped around structural support proteins (histones). Carbon

abandoned places Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs. I am too… and I already ate half of this warm bread. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight.

Mysterious Shadow People (6 total) City View Kumi Yamashita has a secret power. She can place wood or metal objects in just the right light to make mysterious shadow people show their true selves. The genius of it all lies in the fact that without the lighting and shadows the objects would never give away her secret. These surprising silhouettes only come out when beckoned to do so. After being completely blown away by artist Kumi Yamashita's mysterious shadow people, I had to get in touch with her. "In my work I find shadow to be the essence of human being and of everything else in the world that most of us don’t recognize. Above: The numbers scattered on the wall, lit from the right, cast a silhouette of a woman. Glider The thin metal object on the wall casts the silhouette of a girl when lit from above. Lovers Created by aluminum sheet, light, and cast shadow, the two silhouettes are connected together when lit.

s Curiosities Allegedly, these homes in Iran, carved out of solid rock, were built on the order of 700 years ago and are still inhabited by people who have given them modern touches (you know, the little things like windows, doors, and electricity). Pretty impressive when you consider that houses in America barely survive a century without extensive maintenance.
