MaxM has four 8-bit analog inputs, usable in BlinkM light scripts or as an I2C input device. Here Inputs #0,#1,#2 are hooked up to three potentiometer knobs which control the amount of Red, Green, and Blue. An Arduino is also talking to the MaxM over I2C, uploading new light scripts and reading the inputs too.
The MaxM is being powered by Arduino, which in turn is being powered by a laptop.
Orienting the Class of 2021 to NMH is no small task, but it's all hands on deck for faculty, staff and Resident Leaders as our freshman are led through a series of community building activities such as orienteering, jump rope, canoeing and low ropes initiatives; all while being nourished by meals prepared by Alumni Hall Dining Service staff. The day long series of activities on September 2, 2017, culminated with an evening campfire at Oaknoll Cottage where our newest students were feted to music, stories and smores.

St Peter and St Paul, Preston, Rutland
Another bike ride in England's smallest county yesterday. Sixteen churches altogether, which sounds a lot, but churches in Rutland are refreshingly close together, and generally open, although I did find two yesterday that said they were open and weren't, and one that said it wasn't, but was.
Part three.
From Edith Weston I headed west again along the northern perimeter of RAF North Luffenham, and within a mile or two I was at Lyndon, a lost little village below the road with old stone cottages, some of them thatched. Out by Lyndon Hall was the rugged little church, set back among trees behind a wide grass verge and an ancient sign telling me that I was welcome to picnic here if I wished, as long as I was careful of the wild flowers. A track led up to a small church, yet to scale with aisles and clerestories. Architecturally, this church is all of a piece, inside and out, of the late 13th/early 14th Century, and remarkably unaltered since. Pevsner though the outside was 'not of much interest', presumably because there isn't much of a puzzle to work out. You step in to a restrained and rural 19th Century interior, with a couple of points of interest. The designs on the reredos of the 1850s are made in what Pevsner calls 'sgraffito', creating a monochrome effect with a modernist feel. The west window is not great, and not in great condition, but it is an early work by Henry Holiday.
Back up to the top road now, but further west, and the lovely village of Manton. Manton was once an important railway junction, but the village sits on the top of the hill, and the railway (still the line between Leicester and St Pancras) travels beneath it in a tunnel. The ironstone village sleeps undisturbed above, and this was the first of a series of hilltop villages. The little church is set among rows of stone cottages with roses set beside the path. There is no tower. The exterior is largely 13th Century, but you step inside to discover that this shell was built on late Norman bones. Late Norman arcades and a fine Norman tub font give the place its character, but then you turn east to the delightful surprise of a late 18th Century chancel as at Shotley in Suffolk. The 18th Century also brought a row of delightfully rustic memorials in the south aisle to the Smith family, who were 'Lords of this Mannour'. Above the chancel arch is a painted 18th Century royal arms which has been restored vividly. All in all an idiosyncratic space quite unlike any other. Pevsner liked this church ('a low, homely, loveable church'), and I did too, though it didn't quite pip Edith Weston for my church of the day so far.
My plan was to head south here. There were two roads I could take, one which wound and meandered as if taking its time to decide where to go next, and the A600 Oakham to Uppingham road which darted south in a straight line. The trouble was, between the ridge I'd cycled westwards on and the ridge I wanted to cycle on next there was a deep valley, the contour lines on the map clustering like wires in the back of an old-fashioned radio. Thinking it might be best to deal with it quickly, I headed out on to the A600, only to see the road ahead of me falling away sharply to the foot of what looked like a vertical wall a mile beyond. Changing my mind very quickly, I hauled my bike onto the verge and pushed it back to the Manton road, before getting on and heading south on the old road, which turned out to be charming and delightful, weaving between woods and meadows before climbing in merciful zig-zags onto the Wing road, where I turned west again and climbed the last slope up into Preston, another hilltop village.
This was the prettiest village of the day. I had reached the ironstone belt, and this was a lovely gingerbread village of narrow streets, dominated by its old manor house. Thatched stone cottages flanked the main street of the village which was only spoiled by the noise of the traffic on the adjacent A600. Set back among fields down a lane to the west of the village was the long church, presenting its east end to the lane, and beside it a meadow was separated from the graveyard by a dropgate. As I approached the church, a group of sheep ambled over to the dropgate. Perhaps the person who usually lets them into the churchyard to graze also arrives by bicycle, I don't know. I didn't ask them, and I obviously didn't let them into the churchyard either.
The gingerbread church is tall, narrow and spired, a grand sight. Inside, as you might expect, the bones of a Norman church, and the piers which support both the chancel arch and the most easterly arches of the arcades are massive - was this once a cruciform church? Whatever, the chancel was rebuilt in the 13th Century, and is gorgeous. I'm not one to get excited about sedilia as a rule, but you can't help noticing how glorious this one is. The south side of the chancel has a window by that great East Anglian 20th Century artist, Rosemary Rutherford, depicting the adoration of the shepherds, while the smaller windows beside it are filled with abstract glass in reds and pinks to the design of John Hayward. The commission required that they 'fit in' with Rosemary Rutherford's window, which is probably a mistake as more might have been made of it, especially with such an important artist as John Hayward. The only other glass is the four evangelists in the west window, the 1860s work of Ward and Hughes.
I joined the A600 now, thankfully downhill for most of the way, in the direction of Uppingham.

More buyers are now choosing LED walls, particularly the very popular LED walls. Their picture quality rivals the best that plasma TVs can offer, at a more efficient level of energy consumption. A LED display wall is also superior to the standard LCD TV in terms of overall picture quality.
What gives a LED TV an edge is, of course, the more sophisticated LED technology. “LED” refers to light emitting diodes, which provide illumination to the display and produce the picture. LEDs are better than the cold cathode fluorescent lights found in standard LCD TVs, in that they deliver better, more vivid images.
In addition, some LEDs have a feature called “local dimming.” This means that when a picture in a scene requires it, some LEDs are turned off completely. As a result, some parts of the screen are in total darkness while others continue to be lit. This produces very dramatic, deep blacks. An LCD TV is simply incapable of this, because the fluorescent light tubes are always on, and so the blacks in a picture are never completely black.
There are two ways that the LEDs may be laid out at the back of a 42″ LED. In “full-array” configuration, the LEDs are laid out behind the entire display. In the “edge-lit” configuration, the LEDs are placed only on the sides or edges of the panel. But still, even if only edge-lit, the lighting can reach all parts of the display including the middle, using what are called “light guides”.
Thus, some 42″ TVs may be full-array with or without local dimming, while others may be edge-lit, again with or without local dimming. The most common in the market are those that are edge-lit without local dimming, which are also the thinnest models. The ones that perform best are the full-array with local dimming type, the original type of LED wall that came out.
Buying a TV has become a lot more complicated than it was years ago. There are so many things to consider, starting with what kind of TV to get. Should one go for LCD or plasma? LED or OLED? And what size is best? Which brand stands out from the rest?
The latest TV technology is the OLED, or Organic Light Emitting Diode. OLED TVs are the thinnest and offer the best picture quality, but they are the most expensive as well. Their life span is also not as long as that of other TVs, hence an OLED TV is not a very practical choice unless you don’t mind throwing away a hefty sum of money for something that’s excellent but won’t last very long.
Next are the LED display, less pricey but a cut above standard LCD TVs. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, referring to the light used to illuminate the screen and produce a picture. Standard LCD TVs use fluorescent tubes, which give limited color saturation with no deep blacks.
With 42-inch LED display wall, you get very clear and crisp pictures, with wide color variety and superb contrast. Compared to their LCD and plasma counterparts, they are also more energy efficient.
All things considered, 42-inch led walls are the best choice. They provide excellent picture quality at reasonable prices. True, they are usually more expensive than LCD TVs, but the enhanced picture quality is worth the extra dollars.
Many brands offer their own models of 42-inch led display walls. SBC will be the best choice.

Dyed water in oil under led light cluster x2 filter. Mystical atomic array...for the Matamata Camera CLub Monthly theme "Water Macro" - neutral raw conversion..virtually as shot.
We went to a concert by a band called "Whole Lotta Led" who are, as you may have guessed a Led Zeppelin tribute band. Naturally they played Stairway to Heaven and the lead used this twin neck guitar. Unfortunately they did the whole song in almost blackout. But, I like the strong shadows created on this one.
Looks even better on black
Although this is a kind of reproduction of the Faragos work, we think this selections of photos added a different feel to the exhibition. Some went in daytime to photograph the "Northern Women", we went late in the evening when it luckily started to pour down in a horisontal direction. Well worth we think!! The only lightsource is a Elinchrom Ranger Q (A) with the LED-lamp at 5500K (50W halogen). The idea behind, was to strengthen the white in the photos. Almost SOOC; just croping and a small vignette!!

Week 6 Chasing Beauty The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner (Natalie Dykstra) (3) (1476 -1480) 3/1 – 3/6/2026

Sandro Botticelli (Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi) Italian (Florence) 1445 - 1510
The Story of Lucretia , 1499 - 1500
Tempera and oil on panel
According to legend, Lucretia’s brutal rape and tragic suicide precipitated the foundation of the Roman Republic. Botticelli distilled Lucretia’s shocking story into three episodes, beginning at the left. Beautiful and chaste, she attracts the unwanted attention of the king’s son, who threatens Lucretia at knifepoint with sexual assault or a dishonorable death. Raped, she collapses in shame before her outraged family, depicted at the right, and ultimately commits suicide. The public display of Lucretia’s corpse galvanized the rebels led by Brutus. Brandishing a sword, he rallies an army to overthrow the corrupt regime. The architectural setting of the rebellion remakes the past into the present, likening ancient Rome to Renaissance Florence. Botticelli transformed Lucretia’s body—dagger embedded in her chest—into an emblem of liberty, like the biblical hero and Florentine icon David, who stands on the column above her.
Botticelli painted this work to decorate a palace in Florence in connection with a marriage. Perhaps with this in mind, Isabella Gardner placed a cassone, or wedding chest, beneath it. The Renaissance bride filled her cassone with prized and personal belongings—linens, undergarments, jewelry, cosmetics, and sewing implements. Mrs. Gardner draped a velvet textile (now a reproduction) over this cassone and put inside other textiles and an eighteenth-century guitar.

Bernard Berenson had asked Isabella in his August 1894 letter, “How much do you want a Botticelli?” He was writing about the Florentine master’s magnificent late-fifteenth-century “Story of Lucretia,” owned by Lord Ashburnham, which Berrenson called one of the artist’s “greatest works. Berenson speculated that an offer near £3,000 (about $16,000 in 1894 dollars) would be looked on as reasonable. He’d be happy to make arrangements for its purchase as a thank-you for her enthusiastic support and “kindness.” Berenson’s recent biographer, Rachel Cohen, notes that “Italian pictures were not yet generally in demand, and Botticelli and this picture in particular, still seemed ethereal and strange.” The large oil-and-tempera painting on wood panel—Berenson had mistakenly thought it had been part of a “cassone,” or wedding chest—told the story of the rape and death by suicide of Lucretia, tragedies that led to the founding of the Roman Republic. The drama of the scene and the vigor of Botticelli’s line, how he could capture movement on a still surface, appealed especially to values Gardner and Berenson shared—“the living and breathing aesthetic experience.”
… News of Isabella’s purchase of the first Botticelli in an American collection generated great excitement in Boston. The Japonophile William Sturgis Bigelow wrote to her rather grandly, if sincerely, on behalf of the city’s art circles: “ It has been a weary dreary winter without you…But the gloom has lifted…and we all—especially the Art Museum Trustees—are waging our tails and uniting our voices like Memnon in a paean of gratitude for your most mu-؈mag-nificent performance…Really, we shall have to put up a statue of you, right under the picture, and when the haughty New Yorkers come here and ask with an aristocratrical sneer whether we have any pictures I our Museum as good as the Marquand Collection, we shall say, casually—‘oh yes—we have the best Botticelli in America—would you like to look at it?’” Bigelow knew what Gardner knew—Boston collectors were in strong competition with New York collectors, a contest that would intensify in the coming years.

All roads led to Haridwar : An ocean of humanity -15 million - descending for a single day dip in the Ganges on the April 14 (New Year day for many). It is considered to be a journey for redemption in life - the Mahakumbh' @ Haridwar. I was told during interactions that just like going to Haj (Mecca), most save everything to make this journey of their lives. I noticed people walking hundreds of miles (mostly elderly) for those 10 minutes of dip with the mother – Holy Ganges - and a few minutes of solitude even in the midst of the human ocean. It was a profound revelation for me. I went through my own internal journey. Certainly a journey of life-time!
