Out at the end of civilization (as known in New Mexico) the other day, I didn't have time to shoot everything I wanted, so I brought these items home - all were picked up at that site as I walked back to the car.
On Friday, August 7, 2015, a few lucky tweeters joined @amhistorymuseum and @SILibraries to tour "Object Project," "Fantastic Worlds," and the Dibner Library.
I took the photo this way in order to act out a scene. Where a "deal" is being held. What makes this photo interesting is that the way that this photo is composed. With just objects I acted out a scene of a "drug deal". Also I liked the texture and detail of the money and "drugs". The emotion is regret for getting ripped off on fake drugs. I also had a like a straight-forward feeling. I used a white background in order to make the objects clear and simple. I chose the shutter speed of 1/125 just cause it was a little too light. The aperture was at 6.3 to allow more light in. I used an iso of 800 t get a bluish background to match the "drugs".
There are four stained glass windows located on the southern side of the existing Macquarie University Library building (near the Library entrance).
All the windows were designed and installed by Australian stained glass designer and teacher, Cedar Prest, and installed at different stages during 1984-1994.
This quilt, by quilt artist Jo Simpson, is a reproduction of part of the stain glass window featuring the Gymea lily, Doryanthes excelsa, once native to the University site.
The first window was commissioned by the Library from funds donated in memory of Mollie Thomson, Deputy Librarian (1971-1980) and unveiled on 22 July 1984. The design elements reflect Mollie's love of Australian wildflowers particularly the wattle.
It is intended to relocate these windows as features in the new Library seminar and training rooms, visible from the learning lounge.

These stainless steel gates were designed and made by Anthony Robinson as a gift from the people of Hampshire to commemorate the marriage of the Prince and Princess of wales in 1981. The wall, formerly the outer wall of the castle, is 10 feet thick.

Trop souvent, l'Art Nouveau n'est envisage que sous des angles esthetique ou historique. L'objectif de ce parcours est d'aller en amont de ces considerations et de decouvrir les savoir-faire et les techniques qui se cachent derriere quelques facades emblematiques.
Au 19e siecle, les architectes utilisent de plus en plus les productions industrielles, tant les materiaux que les elements produits en serie. Ils continuent cependant a faire appel a des artisans et des artistes qui demontrent une exceptionnelle maitrise de leurs metiers.
Quelques etapes du parcours :
La maison privee de Victor Horta.
Voici sans doute la meilleure entree en matiere. La maison du maitre permet d'introduire la plupart des themes qui seront developpes par la suite.
Avenue Ducpetiaux.
Une tres belle realisation de Paul Hankar qui permet notamment de mieux comprendre l'usage et la production de la brique a la fin du 19e siecle.
Avenue Jef Lambeaux
Une maison dessinee par Alphonse et Victor Boelens qui illustre parfaitement l'utilisation grandissante de la fonte dans l'architecture a cette epoque.
( La fonderie :
Le Musee bruxellois de l'industrie et du travail, installe a Molenbeek-Saint-Jean (Bruxelles) dans un quartier au passe fortement marque par l'industrialisation, propose une approche originale de l'histoire du travail en Region de Bruxelles-Capitale.
Cour de l'ancienne fonderie
Les batiments, recemment restaures, sont l'ancien siege d'une importante fonderie, la Compagnie des Bronzes de Bruxelles.
Le Musee de La Fonderie conserve d'importantes collections de machines et d'outillages et d'importantes archives sur differents supports. Il ne presente pas d'expositions permanentes, mais des expositions temporaires.
Il est l'emanation de La Fonderie - Centre d'Histoire Economique et Sociale de la Region Bruxelloise, qui propose un centre de documentation et de recherche, des publications, ainsi que des parcours decouvertes urbains et portuaires de l'histoire industrielle de Bruxelles. )
Fred Perry Cotton Polo Shirt
I've had this particular shirt long enough for it to become an object rather than a simple item of clothing.
Bought from Merc of Carnaby Street.
I've worn them for as long as I can remember.
An English Summer without one is un-thinkable.

US suspects three unidentified objects it shot down were 'benign'
In the most recent strike - over Lake Huron - the first Sidewinder missile fired by a US F-16 warplane missed its target, the top US general has confirmed.
"First shot missed. Second shot hit," said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley during a visit to Brussels on Tuesday.

After balloon and laser-lights incidents, how should China deal with US, a startling bird?
Feb 14, 2023 09:00 PM
The heat over the recent balloon incident continues, while the US begins to hype the green laser-lights spotted over Hawaii. Scientists at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan captured the mystery beams of light on video back on January 28. Footage of the incident shows green laser light beaming over the cloudy sky over Maunakea in Hawaii, according to media reports. The US media were quick to come to the conclusion that the beams were pinned on a Chinese satellite.
Whether it is a balloon or laser lights, experts have said that it is a common scientific research project and does not pose a threat. However, the US military, politicians and media take advantage of the public's ignorance of the professional field to hype and spread disinformation.
The US was supposed to deal with these incidents in a calm manner. Nonetheless, there is no such a word as "calm" in the US dictionary. The incidents turned out to be a farce and are being exploited by some Americans in their hysterical crusades against China.
The evolution of these incidents is a vivid reflection of the mentality of the US as a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow-string, and such a mentality is a result of the US' sense of losses over its own strength and the political hysteria on both sides of the US political divide. The US was once the sole military power in the world which acted at will, but now faced with China's rise and multiple crises on its own soil, it is unconfident and even anxious about its own development.
Zhang Tengjun, deputy director of the Department for Asia-Pacific Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, told the Global Times that the US' state of extreme nervousness in China-related affairs is attributed to the joint hypes of some US politicians and media.
"Some US elites cannot accept the reality of China's rapid development, and stubbornly believe China is to blame for all the US' domestic dysfunction. They cannot have a correct view of the US governance problem, and refuse to acknowledge that China's development also benefited the US in the past few decades. The lack of self-confidence and unwarranted fear of China has made them become extreme," said Zhang.
China doesn't have as many satellites in orbit as the US does, and its overall space tech is not as advanced. Chinese people know there is still a tech gap between their country and the US. If Americans panic due to China's progress, it's because they take things too hard and torture themselves. Politicizing China-related topics, no matter what they are, and blaming China for their own pathologies equals quenching a thirst with poison.
Now the psychology and emotions of Chinese and American societies are constantly colliding, which has greatly increased the fermenting intensity of subtle frictions between the two countries. Such a psychological and emotional collision is unprecedented. Diao Daming, an associate professor at the Renmin University of China in Beijing, told the Global Times that this reflects the sensitivity, subtlety and complexity in the interaction between China and the US.
China is truly getting stronger. Although there is still a gap between China and the US in terms of technology and military strength, China's prospects are promising. Therefore, every tangible sign of China's rise can have a strong impression, which makes some Americans' heart skip a beat and increase their worries about the future loss of US hegemony. The task for China is how to deal with a frightened US when it becomes powerful but not as powerful as the US.
The frenzy of hysterical crusades against China has become a signature of the US in our time. Zhang believes that the rhythm of some US elites and media is leading China-US relations to a more unpredictable prospect. The Biden administration has kept saying no to a new Cold War with China, and claimed that it does not want to have a conflict with China, but it is clear that he is being led by the nose by domestic hardliners. The Biden administration isn't prepared to resist domestic political pressure and carry out pragmatic cooperation with China or calmly manage bilateral relations.
Zhang said that when dealing with the US, China needs to recognize the role of US domestic politics in bilateral relations and US policies toward China, so as to avoid falling into the discourse trap set by some US politicians. Meanwhile, China should convey clearly to the US its consistent position on the stable development of bilateral ties.
Curious ideas. Curious themes. Curious images. Curious Objects.
I love this city for the exploration and discovery of such weird and wonderful things.
How might an object function as a social network? How might it offer an experience of collocated experiential immediacy in which one senses a connection to a collective, not individual users?
This object might react to being held—perhaps vibrating or glowing—the more members of the collective holding it, the more it responds, providing a sense of being 'present' with the others.
