This video shows three of the five properties of water: surface tension, adhesion and cohesion.
When the plastic card is gently placed on the surface of the water in the bowl, it floats. This is due to surface tension. As the water molecules form hydrogen bonds between them, they stick together and effectively create a surface “skin” which can support light objects. Since hydrogen bonds are easily broken, surface tension can be easily penetrated. In this case, the card breaks through the surface tension and sinks to the bottom when it is dropped into the water.
The video also demonstrates adhesion and cohesion. Several water droplets can be seen adhering to the side of the bowl, despite gravity. Water molecules stick to objects and surfaces, often defying gravity and other forces. When the bowl is tilted and the water level gets close to the drops, they cohere together into one body of water. Water molecules attract other water molecules because they are polar and subject to electromagnetic forces. Cohesion causes water molecules to seek and attract other water molecules, if they are in close enough proximity.
Climate-KIC start-ups Cohere, ViriCiti and Crystal Shower have picked up prizes at a pitching event in San Francisco on 9 September 2014.
The event saw some of Europe’s brightest cleantech entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to a judging panel of local innovation experts at an evening hosted by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco’s financial district.
Judges Shana Rappaport, Doug Davenport and Lafe Vittitoe – representing the VERGE Greenbiz Group, Prospect Silicon Valley and the Silicon Valley Bank respectively – awarded prizes to smart vehicle charging start-up Cohere, and to ViriCiti, which has developed an optimisation system for electric city buses.
Start-up Cystal Shower wooed the crowd on the 31st floor of One Montgomery Tower and picked up the Audience Award with a pitch about its self-recycling shower – which drastically cuts costs while delivering three times more water than a traditional shower.
The start-ups that participated in the event are touring the USA until 18 September as part of Climate-KIC’s US Start-up Tour 2014 and have all developed and commercialised technologies that help consumers, businesses and governments mitigate and adapt to the consequences of climate change.

Open the doors! Light of the day, shine in; light of the mind, shine out!
We have a building which is more than a building.
There is a commerce between inner and outer,
between brightness and shadow, between the world and those who think about the world.
Is it not a mystery? The parts cohere, they come together
like petals of a flower, yet they also send their tongues
outward to feel and taste the teeming earth.
Did you want classic columns and predictable pediments? A
growl of old Gothic grandeur? A blissfully boring box?
Not here, no thanks! No icon, no IKEA, no iceberg, but
curves and caverns, nooks and niches, huddles and
heavens syncopations and surprises. Leave symmetry to
the cemetery.
But bring together slate and stainless steel, black granite
and grey granite, seasoned oak and sycamore, concrete
blond and smooth as silk – the mix is almost alive – it
breathes and beckons – imperial marble it is not!
Come down the Mile, into the heart of the city, past the kirk
of St Giles and the closes and wynds of the noted ghosts of
history who drank their claret and fell down the steep
tenements stairs into the arms of link-boys but who wrote
and talked the starry Enlightenment of their days –
And before them the auld makars who tickled a Scottish king’s
ear with melody and ribaldry and frank advice –
And when you are there, down there, in the midst of things,
not set upon an hill with your nose in the air,
This is where you know your parliament should be
And this is where it is, just here.
What do the people want of the place? They want it to be
filled with thinking persons as open and adventurous as its
architecture.
A nest of fearties is what they do not want.
A symposium of procrastinators is what they do not want.
A phalanx of forelock-tuggers is what they do not want.
And perhaps above all the droopy mantra of ‘it wizny me’ is
what they do not want.
Dear friends, dear lawgivers, dear parliamentarians, you are
picking up a thread of pride and self-esteem that has been
almost but not quite, oh no not quite, not ever broken or
forgotten.
When you convene you will be reconvening, with a sense of not
wholly the power, not yet wholly the power, but a good
sense of what was once in the honour of your grasp.
All right. Forget, or don’t forget, the past. Trumpets and
robes are fine, but in the present and the future you will
need something more.
What is it? We, the people, cannot tell you yet, but you will know about it when we do tell you.
We give you our consent to govern, don’t pocket it and ride away.
We give you our deepest dearest wish to govern well, don’t say we
have no mandate to be so bold.
We give you this great building, don’t let your work and hope be other than great when you enter and begin.
So now begin. Open the doors and begin.
Edwin Morgan

Climate-KIC start-ups Cohere, ViriCiti and Crystal Shower have picked up prizes at a pitching event in San Francisco on 9 September 2014.
The event saw some of Europe’s brightest cleantech entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to a judging panel of local innovation experts at an evening hosted by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco’s financial district.
Judges Shana Rappaport, Doug Davenport and Lafe Vittitoe – representing the VERGE Greenbiz Group, Prospect Silicon Valley and the Silicon Valley Bank respectively – awarded prizes to smart vehicle charging start-up Cohere, and to ViriCiti, which has developed an optimisation system for electric city buses.
Start-up Cystal Shower wooed the crowd on the 31st floor of One Montgomery Tower and picked up the Audience Award with a pitch about its self-recycling shower – which drastically cuts costs while delivering three times more water than a traditional shower.
The start-ups that participated in the event are touring the USA until 18 September as part of Climate-KIC’s US Start-up Tour 2014 and have all developed and commercialised technologies that help consumers, businesses and governments mitigate and adapt to the consequences of climate change.

Ｍy topic for concerned is stray dog. It’s a serious problem in my country and there’s also a movie that talk about this issue. You could see many stray dogs on the street in Taiwan. There are two major reasons to cause it. Firstly, people love to buy a dog then raise it as pet in the beginning but they abandon their dog when they don’t feel excitement or interesting. Second reason coheres with fist. After abandon their dog, those usually don’t neuter then they just keep on breeding. And the most unfortunate is if they will be caught and sent to shelter and after 12 days later nobody adopts them, they will be euthanasia. In addition, according to the data, another unfortunate thing is that many stray dogs are die because hit by cars.
Therefore, it’s a quite severe issue in Taiwan. The best solution would be adoption instead of buying. Another would be government can provide money for neutering to decrease more and more dogs on streets. Hope this issue can been emphasized and concerned as well as government can take more action on dealing with it.
The interesting thing is when i was taking photo of them, they were so scared and also barked at me because I guess that they think the camera is weapon which may hurt them.

Radio Cloud is an interactive light-sound-installation by Cao Thanh Lan and Gregor Siedl, which is based on a real-time and site-specific feedback circuit. The radio sound triggers LED-lights which are situated inside a synthetic cloud-like object, the lights in turn trigger the analogue radio search function via a light sensor. The „Cloud“ is a reference to earlier radio experiments of the late 19th century when forefathers of modern radio, such as E. Branly and A. Popov detected “natural radio” emissions produced by far away lightning-storms with their first receivers, e.g. “Coherer” and similar devices. „Cloud“ in our virtual modern world is a metaphor of always-at-anytime-and-anywhere accessible information and the end of linear mass-communication.

This special project class was dedicated to using the music and philosophy of multi Grammy award winning artist Terence Blanchard’s as the conceptual framework for an Art and Technology collaboration that combined digital fabrication and projection mapping.
The ATEC Light Squad adopted the form of a jazz quintet to work together to build props, and to create the video content based on musical compositions provided by jazz composer Terence Blanchard and his band the E-Collective.
Led by Professor Andrew Scott students combined the full spectrum of art and technology disciplines to create original content that was refined and cohered into finished compositions through weekly critique sessions based on live interaction with the music.
The collaboration culminated in a live interactive performance on April 21, 2017 by Terence Blanchard and the E-Collective in the ATEC Lecture Hall. The immersive event combined music with projection mapped animation and live video capture cast on a 31 foot sculptural relief background.

In 1988, freshly out of college, I bought Laurie Colwin's superb collection of food essays, Home Cooking. In her essay "How to Disguise Vegetables," she gives a recipe for Yam Cakes with Fermented Black Beans and Scallions. You peel and shred a large sweet potato (or several small ones), add scallions, red pepper flakes, fermented black beans, two eggs and four tablespoons of flour, then blend it all together until the ingredients all cohere. Form into little cakes and pan-fry in olive oil.
I've been making these cakes for almost 20 years, have made them so many times that I could make them while in a deep sleep or a light coma, but the past year's slump has pretty much eaten my desire to cook, well, anything. Today I decided that Lloyd and I would have a proper dinner, and a vegetable-based proper dinner at that. As I put it all together, just before I added the egg and flour, I stopped for a moment and realized something I had completely forgotten: these ingredients are beautiful together.
(Because I can't resist providing a shopping list of sorts: The sweet potatoes came from the vegetable market in my neighborhood, which always has sweet potatoes, even when the Greenmarket doesnt. The scallions came from the Greenmarket. The fermented black beans are from Kalustyan's, my favorite place to take out-of-town foodish friends. The pepper flakes are Turkish Aleppo pepper, bought at Penzeys in Norwalk, CT on my grand day out with Ragnvaeig last week. :)
Mercury is the only liquid metallic element at room temperature. Its density is a whopping 13600 kg per cubic metre but droplets hold together because mercury has such strong surface tension. The atoms of mercury cohere to each other more strongly than they adhere to the surface they are sitting on. The victory of cohesion over adhesion also explains why mercury has a convex meniscus in a glass tube.
Mercury is toxic and this picture was taken on Ilford FP4 monochrome film in the early 1980's when there were less stringent rules about use. The EXIF data refers to the scan/digitisation date.

Ruskin's views on art, wrote Kenneth Clark, "cannot be made to form a logical system, and perhaps owe to this fact a part of their value." Certain principles, however, remain consistent throughout his work and have been summarized in Clark's own words as the following:
That art is not a matter of taste, but involves the whole man. Whether in making or perceiving a work of art, we bring to bear on it feeling, intellect, morals, knowledge, memory, and every other human capacity, all focused in a flash on a single point. Aesthetic man is a concept as false and dehumanizing as economic man.
That even the most superior mind and the most powerful imagination must found itself on facts, which must be recognized for what they are. The imagination will often reshape them in a way which the prosaic mind cannot understand; but this recreation will be based on facts, not on formulas or illusions.
That these facts must be perceived by the senses, or felt; not learnt.
That the greatest artists and schools of art have believed it their duty to impart vital truths, not only about the facts of vision, but about religion and the conduct of life.
That beauty of form is revealed in organisms which have developed perfectly according to their laws of growth, and so give, in his own words, 'the appearance of felicitous fulfilment of function.'
That this fulfilment of function depends on all parts of an organism cohering and cooperating. This was what he called the 'Law of Help,' one of Ruskin's fundamental beliefs, extending from nature and art to society.
That good art is done with enjoyment. The artist must feel that, within certain reasonable limits, he is free, that he is wanted by society, and that the ideas he is asked to express are true and important.
That great art is the expression of epochs where people are united by a common faith and a common purpose, accept their laws, believe in their leaders, and take a serious view of human destiny."

Some leaves adapt well to the environment and weather conditions because of their hairs. Hairy leaves help the plant retain some moisture. The hairs are tiny, as they are just single cells, but have the ability to slow down the process of evaporation and protect the leaf from wind. This is how leaves maintain water that they receive. This is vital when the leaf has to conduct photosynthesis. Hairy leaves are especially useful in tropical areas. There are several properties to water; one that is particular to hairy leaves is surface tension. Surface tension means water molecules are cohering to one another at the surface, such as rain drops on a leaf. Scientifically, water moves from regions of high water concentration to regions of low water concentration. High water concentration is in the vacuoles of plant cells, so water moves from there to the cytoplasm, which has dissolved molecules. Thus, all of that is pushed to the cell wall.

Built in 1886, this Classical Revival-style house was originally built in the Queen Anne style and designed by Augustus Gauger for William Constans, a brewery supply merchant and owner of the firm of Constans and Schmidt, and his wife, Bertha Franckenberg Constans. The house was heavily renovated with Classical Revival elements in the 1920s, and saw further renovations in 1969. The house features a red brick exterior with limestone trim, a bracketed cornice, rusticated stone base, broken pediment over the porch, doric and ionic columns and pilasters, a matching carriage house, and a porte cohere on the side. The house is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Climate-KIC start-ups Cohere, ViriCiti and Crystal Shower have picked up prizes at a pitching event in San Francisco on 9 September 2014.
The event saw some of Europe’s brightest cleantech entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to a judging panel of local innovation experts at an evening hosted by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco’s financial district.
Judges Shana Rappaport, Doug Davenport and Lafe Vittitoe – representing the VERGE Greenbiz Group, Prospect Silicon Valley and the Silicon Valley Bank respectively – awarded prizes to smart vehicle charging start-up Cohere, and to ViriCiti, which has developed an optimisation system for electric city buses.
Start-up Cystal Shower wooed the crowd on the 31st floor of One Montgomery Tower and picked up the Audience Award with a pitch about its self-recycling shower – which drastically cuts costs while delivering three times more water than a traditional shower.
The start-ups that participated in the event are touring the USA until 18 September as part of Climate-KIC’s US Start-up Tour 2014 and have all developed and commercialised technologies that help consumers, businesses and governments mitigate and adapt to the consequences of climate change.

Built in 1904, this Classical Revival-style house features a red brick exterior, a hipped roof with bracketed eaves, three hipped dormers with decorative windows, a three-bay front facade, stone lintels and sills, a two-story bay window on the north facade, doorways with sidelights and transoms in the center bay, a porch with square columns, a cornice with dentils, hipped roof, rough-hewn stone porch railings, a second-story balcony with decorative balustrade above the center of the porch, a porte cohere on the south side of the house, and quoins at the corners of the front facade. The house served as the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house from 1932 until 1962, when it moved to the old fraternity quad on campus, and was later purchased by Centre College in 1979, being dedicated as the Carroll C. Chenault Jr. Alumni House in 1982 after Centre College alumnus Carroll C. Chenault, Jr. (1898-1973), whom graduated from Centre College in 1920, and was a successful farmer. Upon the death of his wife, Doris Chenault, in 1983, his farm was donated to the college, and was valued at $2.5 million dollars, the largest single donation to the college up to that point, being managed by the college and later sold with proceeds going to improve the programs and facilities at the college. The house serves as Centre College’s alumni center, with administrative offices and a small events center being located inside. The house is a contributing structure in the Maple Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Description of Historic Place:
The Willoughby Community Hall consists of a one storey building, located on a corner residential-size lot in the Willoughby area of Langley, British Columbia
Heritage Value:
Built in 1937, the Willoughby Community Hall is significant for its cultural values.
Willoughby is located just west of the original Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) farm lands and was the second farming area to draw settlers from the HBC lands in the mid to late 1800s.
All of the land available in this area for non-native settlement had been pre-empted by the 1890s, yet it was not until the early 1920s that the sparsely settled area began to cohere into a community. It was 1921 when the community decided on a name for itself, proposed by Willoughby H. Singer for his newly acquired post office in the community's first store. Located across the street from each other, the (first) community hall and Willoughby United Church were built in 1922 and 1924 respectively. The significance of these public buildings was very high, for they brought the community together, both physically and socially, and finally gave them a sense of identity.
The early settlers came together and cooperatively built the first hall, originally as a school, and later (in 1937) replaced it with this structure to function as a community hall. It became a focal point by providing a place for members of the community to meet and socialize for both formal and informal events. In particular, it was central to the gathering of the women in the community, who took on a role of stewardship that continues to the present via the Willoughby Community Women's Institute. The cooperative nature of this building continues to this day, as does its role as a focal point for community life in Willoughby.
The isolating nature of the homesteads in the community meant that these social gatherings were particularly important to the solidarity of the residents. It also strongly contributed to an overall sense of social stability that was very important at the time for those wishing to instill the values of British traditions and laws in this young province.
The Willoughby Community Hall has a great deal of sentimental value to the residents of Willoughby.

This special project class was dedicated to using the music and philosophy of multi Grammy award winning artist Terence Blanchard’s as the conceptual framework for an Art and Technology collaboration that combined digital fabrication and projection mapping.
The ATEC Light Squad adopted the form of a jazz quintet to work together to build props, and to create the video content based on musical compositions provided by jazz composer Terence Blanchard and his band the E-Collective.
Led by Professor Andrew Scott students combined the full spectrum of art and technology disciplines to create original content that was refined and cohered into finished compositions through weekly critique sessions based on live interaction with the music.
The collaboration culminated in a live interactive performance on April 21, 2017 by Terence Blanchard and the E-Collective in the ATEC Lecture Hall. The immersive event combined music with projection mapped animation and live video capture cast on a 31 foot sculptural relief background.

Built in 1884, this Queen Anne-style mansion was designed by William Willcox and built for Frederick Driscoll, owner of the Pioneer Press. The mansion replaced an earlier, smaller house on the same site, built in 1857 by Henry F. Masterson, which was purchased by Driscoll and demolished to make way for the mansion. Driscoll lived in the house until moving to Chicago in 1900, whereupon it was purchased by Frederick Weyerhaeuser, whom resided at the address for several years. The house has been repurposed and renovated multiple times, as it has been variously used by organizations and public groups, before being turned back into a single-family home. The house features some Chateauesque elements, including the gable end over the front door, and also features a circular tower, wall dormer, side oriel, eyebrow dormer with circular windows, and a sunroom over a porte cohere on the side. The house is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
