Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.

Marian Chau of the University of Hawai‘i Lyon Arboretum Seed Conservation Laboratory speaks about the processing of the ʻōhiʻa seeds in the lab.
University of Hawaiʻi scientists are working diligently to protect and preserve the ʻōhiʻa tree, which is being threatened by Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death, also known as ROD. The disease has already decimated more than 50,000 acres on Hawaiʻi Island, leaving once lush forests scattered with the white skeletons of dead ʻōhiʻa trees.
To save the ʻōhiʻa tree from extinction, the Seed Conservation Laboratory at UH Mānoa’s Lyon Arboretum has launched a campaign to fund an effort to collect and bank ʻōhiʻa seeds.

Last of large capacity processing vessels installed in major SRS cleanup facility under construction.
The Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) heralded 100% successful completion of a major construction milestone following installation of the remaining four large-capacity tanks integral to the facility’s future processing of 34 million gallons of highly radioactive salt waste currently stored in 47 underground tanks at the Savannah River Site (SRS).
Once operational, the one-of-a-kind SWPF will provide the critical treatment capability needed to fulfill the Department of Energy’s (DOE) cleanup mission to safely disposition Cold War legacy waste and support DOE’s risk reduction priority to empty and close nuclear waste tanks.
These last-arriving over-sized vessels, ranging in volume capacity of roughly 38,000 – 44,000 gallons, join the initial six tanks placed at SWPF last month.
Installation of the ten tanks allows for measurable progression of SWPF construction with piping and facility floors now on tap for completion, along with placement of the facility’s roof.
Manufactured by Precision Custom Components of York, PA, the vessels were all shipped by barge to Hardeeville, SC, and transported via double-drop, wide-load tractor trailers to SRS.
Parsons Government Services of Pasadena, California, is DOE’s prime contractor for designing, building, starting up and operating the SWPF for one year.
Full facility operations are currently scheduled for late 2015.

Processing cassava for starch. The hardy root crop cassava is among important staples for food security and income in Southeast Asia, but neglected in terms of investment for scientific research. In January, the World Congress on Root and Tuber Crops in China, Nanning, will place these crops -sweet potato, cassava, yam, taro- center-stage, gathering researchers from Asia, Africa and South America to discuss opportunities and challenges ahead for these vital crops.

Nothing special here, just some tools that aid the creative process. Some pens, a cup of tea, music and toooooys.

Women process lobsters for export at a cold storage facility built by FAO in the village of Eyl, Puntland, Somalia. The coastal community in Eyl, Somalia is beating hunger by fishing. FAO kitted their boats with ice boxes so that they can stay out at sea longer, and freezing units to keep their catch fresh, now these fisherfolk have up-scaled their fishing cooperative into an international commercial operation exporting up to 10 tonnes of fish every month to Ethiopia. Once again Somali people prove that they are amongst the most resilient in the world.

An update to my perlinParticle02 code: Now, rather than generating three buffer images for the x, y, and speed perlin values, it calculates them on the fly. This has the added advantage of being able to animate time, which you can see in the above movie. However, it's also exponentially slower. This movie took about a second a frame, or ten minutes on my 5 year old laptop.

The Picture above this text illustrates the creative process in trying to come up with an idea for todays picture…
Needless to day… my Uncle failed.
I’m sure I could have come up with a good idea, but I was too busy polishing Thwack to make sure my Uncle was properly motivated to hurry up :-)

I believe this cyanotype may be a portrait of Mrs. Kühn from the "Sunlight and Darkroom" Album.
Since the title page was in German we naturally believed that the album was made in Germany. I did notice that one view was a site that is very familiar, the monument on the top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland. Closer examination showed that hotels pictured were also in Edinburgh and a cemetery had English inscriptions. Did Wilhelm Kühn take a trip to Scotland? I could find no information about Kühn and assumed I would never know. Several years passed before I tried again. After checking dozens of Google entries for other Wilhelm Kühns I finally found him on a Scottish genealogy site! Someone from Germany wrote looking for information on relatives who had lived in Scotland. The answer was as follows:
1901 Census Scotland
Wilhelm Kühn 44, Shopkeeper Picture Frame Maker Printseller & Artist's Colourman, b. German Sreb, Germany
Susanne Kühn 41, b. German Sreb, Germany
Bertha Kühn 8, b. Edinburgh
Luise Kühn 5, b. Edinburgh
Lizzie Campbell 15, servant
Address: The Linden Craigcrook Rd, Crammond, Midlothian
This has to be our Wilhelm Kühn! The new baby in the photographs must be Bertha who would have been born in 1893 when the album was produced. Wilhelm profession seems to fit really well with the artist/photographer who produced this album.
I love to put a name to the mother and baby!
