Giuseppe Terragni's infamous Casa Del Fascio (today casa del populi) built in 1935 as a symbol for the superiority of the rising fascist party shows mainly Terragnis superiority in comosing space with complexity and coherence. The balance of rules and exceptions and the impressive control of light fascinated architects and theorists (such as Peter Eisenman who analysed the building properly) for decades.

A few days ago Northshoreleo received an e-mail from his working mom (a nice Irish lady) asking him if he was OK since she heard on the news of the flooding of biblical proportion in Iowa. It all started when northshoreleo's working mom who happened to be the former superior officer, approved his vacation requests thus knew his travel destinations for contingency plan purposes. Being an analyst she realized that everytime northshoreleo goes on vacation, the destination would suffer water related natural disaster (mostly flooding) even to the extent of catastrophic proportion; be it prior to northshoreleo's arrival, during northshoreleo's arrival or shortly after northshoreleo's return. Most of these catastrophic disaster are in an unlikely location and timing. When she mentioned her theory to northshoreleo, a childhood prediction resurfaced.
As a little kid, northshoreleo accompanied his mom to a Chinese temple where a famous fortune teller monk lived, his mom was excited to meet the monk wanting a reading. As they entered the room, the monk paused, looked at northshoreleo in the eyes, and said (through a translator) "Water will be the end of your journey!" Ever since that day, northshoreleo's mom prohibited him from getting anywhere near deep water (lake, river, ocean). Northshoreleo never told his mom everytime he went swimming in the ocean, river or lake, yet he could not help himself wandering about the prediction and would sometimes panicked when alone in deep water. Just a few of northshoreleo's travel destinations that had endured the catastrophic disaster would be: Japan, Hawaii, Boston (underground subway stations flooded for weeks), Eastern Europe (prior to northshoreleo's arrival for Octoberfest touring across Europe), New Orleans, the one that almost got him was the South East Asia trip (Banda Aceh tsunami - contingency plan was activated) Coincidence? Maybe... thus his move to the Midwest, but then again... Stay tune! Ha!

I decided to look at figure drawing and encouraged the students to make little jointed figures to aid their drawings of movement, I think it worked quite well.
Ever felt small?
Certainly, I'm not, 6 foot and 16 stone. But next to a mile and a half long coal train and a 150 feet high grain elevator?
I'm small.
Vernon, Texas, 10 in the morning.
Just a little east of a downtown that could have been lifted from a 1920's gangster movie is this, the Wilbarger elevator.
Built in 1960, much of it's surroundings were laid to waste by a tornado 19 years later. The town is at the southern end of Tornado Alley, the area where warm dry air from Mexico collides with warm moist air from the Gulf coast and colder dry air coming south from the north western states.
The resultant clashes of weather fronts produce frequent storms and tornados. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska tend to cop for it, indeed during my stay in Fort Smith AR, there were 4 reported tornados one night just over the border in Oklahoma, all occurring less than 30 miles from where my head was laid that night..
Passing on the right is a BNSF coal train, presumably Powder River Basin coal, going south east to keep those Texas lights burning bright.

One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted. The simple golden ratio PHI can exalt your art with the golden ratio harmonies in the form of golden rectangles, golden triangles, golden spirals, golden cuts, and more, all linked by the divine proportion!

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic odyssey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

Habits and Ecology
Abundant on firm bare intertidal wet muddy sand and mud on estuaries and saltings 29 Pu flic.kr/p/2mVVn5A at salinities 5- 40 p.p.t.; individuals may struggle to adjust to very large rapid salinity changes. Also on gravel or broken clay-slate with silt, on Ulva, and in pools with bare soft substrate; usually with tidal access. Often at densities 5 000 –9 000 /sq.metre, and occasionally to 42 000 /sq.metre. At all shore levels, varying with local substrate conditions; avoids putrid mud lacking oxygen, and semi-liquid mud (e.g. parts of Severn Estuary). If on open coast, usually some freshwater inflow.
Crawls when substrate moist or covered in calm water. No waves detectable on sole when crawls horizontally; probably moves by means of cilia on sole. Direct monotaxic waves detectable on posterior of foot when crawls up vertical glass. Leaves 2 mm wide track with mucus trail 29Pu flic.kr/p/2mVVn5A on sand or mud. Swings trunk-like snout from side to side while crawling to feed on small organic particles, diatoms and bacteria. Individual grain of sand can be held by bifid snout while radula grazes it 30Pu flic.kr/p/ekamFx . In soft mud, lies buried horizontally except for aperture from which body extends. When submerged, may float feeding under water surface with aid of a mucus raft 30Pu flic.kr/p/ekamFx which traps diatoms etc. from the neuston. Rafting snails, and dried juveniles with air trapped in aperture, dispersed by currents and waves, so colonises rapidly, e.g. upriver if drought causes short term increase in salinity. When mud and pools dry out, buries self and becomes dormant. Also buries self if water turbulent. Breeds all months, peak varies with location. Spawn 31Pu flic.kr/p/ekg7qs ; gelatinous hemispherical masses covered in sand, containing up to 25 eggs floating in albuminous fluid, attached to shells of other individuals; up to 90% carry spawn masses at peak breeding times. Short veliger stage, sometimes suppressed (?) or escapes capture as stays near substrate (?). Velum small and only slightly bilobed. Each female lays about 300 eggs in a breeding season; small number in comparison with other species e.g. Littorina littorea, but comparatively good survival rate of about 10% beyond 1mm shell height. Maximum growth rate April-July. Most die before 2 years old.
Important part of the ecosystem in estuaries and saltings, providing food for birds (especially shelduck Pu 32 flic.kr/p/2rECM5S ), fish and many parasites, altering the substrate with its spindle-shape faecal pellets and affecting the abundance of the micro-organisms it feeds on. Associated fauna; other euryhaline spp. such as Macoma balthica and Scrobicularia plana. Not with terrestrial spp. except when these colonise dried out mud with dormant P. ulvae buried in it. Sometimes close to, but not usually intermingled with, Assiminea grayana at HWS level of saltings (no intermingling found on Dee Estuary, but possible report from Lincolnshire).
Distribution and status

A distant shot....
Medium-sized, athletically proportioned eagle, with streaked whitish underparts contrasting with dark wings and tail. Juveniles are rufous below, and lack the adult’s broad dark band at the tip of the tail. Found in forests or mountains, sometimes in more open habitats in winter; usually in remote areas. Builds nests on cliffs and ledges, and in caves. Distinctive in flight: note bulging secondaries and narrowness of wing where it meets the body. Usually seen soaring over distant ridge-lines, when the shallow “fingers” to its wings are obvious in contrast to the deep fingers of other eagles.
Durga
------
In Hinduism, Durga one who can redeem in situations of utmost distress; is a form of Devi, the supremely radiant goddess, depicted as having ten arms, riding a lion or a tiger, carrying weapons and a lotus flower, maintaining a meditative smile, and practising mudras, or symbolic hand gestures.
An embodiment of creative feminine force (Shakti), Durga exists in a state of tantrya (independence from the universe and anything/anybody else, i.e., self-sufficiency) and fierce compassion. Kali is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Durga. Durga is also the mother of Ganesha and Kartikeya. She is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, goddess Parvati. Durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.
The word Shakti means divine feminine energy/force/power, and Durga is the warrior aspect of the Divine Mother. Other incarnations include Annapurna and Karunamayi. Durga's darker aspect Kali is represented as the consort of the god Shiva, on whose body she is often seen standing.
Durga Slays Mahishasura, Mahabalipuram sculpture.
As a goddess, Durga's feminine power contains the energies of the gods. Each of her weapons was given to her by various gods: Rudra's trident, Vishnu's discus, Indra's thunderbolt, Brahma's kamandalu, Kuber's Ratnahar, etc.
According to a narrative in the Devi Mahatmya story of the Markandeya Purana text, Durga was created as a warrior goddess to fight an asura (an inhuman force/demon) named Mahishasura. He had unleashed a reign of terror on earth, heaven and the nether worlds, and he could not be defeated by any man or god, anywhere. The gods went to Brahma, who had given Mahishasura the power not to be defeated by a man. Brahma could do nothing. They made Brahma their leader and went to Vaikuntha — the place where Vishnu lay on Ananta Naag. They found both Vishnu and Shiva, and Brahma eloquently related the reign of terror Mahishasur had unleashed on the three worlds. Hearing this Vishnu, Shiva and all of the gods became very angry and beams of fierce light emerged from their bodies. The blinding sea of light met at the Ashram of a priest named Katyan. The goddess Durga took the name Katyaayani from the priest and emerged from the sea of light. She introduced herself in the language of the Rig-Veda, saying she was the form of the supreme Brahman who had created all the gods. Now she had come to fight the demon to save the gods. They did not create her; it was her lila that she emerged from their combined energy. The gods were blessed with her compassion.
It is said that upon initially encountering Durga, Mahishasura underestimated her, thinking: "How can a woman kill me, Mahishasur — the one who has defeated the trinity of gods?" However, Durga roared with laughter, which caused an earthquake which made Mahishasur aware of her powers.
And the terrible Mahishasur rampaged against her, changing forms many times. First he was a buffalo demon, and she defeated him with her sword. Then he changed forms and became an elephant that tied up the goddess's lion and began to pull it towards him. The goddess cut off his trunk with her sword. The demon Mahishasur continued his terrorizing, taking the form of a lion, and then the form of a man, but both of them were gracefully slain by Durga.
Then Mahishasur began attacking once more, starting to take the form of a buffalo again. The patient goddess became very angry, and as she sipped divine wine from a cup she smiled and proclaimed to Mahishasur in a colorful tone — "Roar with delight while you still can, O illiterate demon, because when I will kill you after drinking this, the gods themselves will roar with delight".[cite this quote] When Mahashaur had half emerged into his buffalo form, he was paralyzed by the extreme light emitting from the goddess's body. The goddess then resounded with laughter before cutting Mahishasur's head down with her sword.
Thus Durga slew Mahishasur, thus is the power of the fierce compassion of Durga. Hence, Mata Durga is also known as Mahishasurmardhini — the slayer of Mahishasur. According to one legend, the goddess Durga created an army to fight against the forces of the demon-king Mahishasur, who was terrorizing Heaven and Earth. After ten days of fighting, Durga and her army defeated Mahishasur and killed him. As a reward for their service, Durga bestowed upon her army the knowledge of jewelry-making. Ever since, the Sonara community has been involved in the jewelry profession [3].
The goddess as Mahisasuramardhini appears quite early in Indian art. The Archaeological Museum in Matura has several statues on display including a 6-armed Kushana period Mahisasuramardhini that depicts her pressing down the buffalo with her lower hands [4]. A Nagar plaque from the first century BC - first century AD depicts a 4-armed Mahisamardhini accompanied by a lion. But it is in the Gupta period that we see the finest representations of Mahisasuramardhini (2-, 4-, 6-, and at Udayagiri, 12-armed). The spear and trident are her most common weapons. a Mamallapuram relief shows the goddess with 8 arms riding her lion subduing a bufalo-faced demon (as contrasted with a buffalo demon); a variation also seen at Ellora. In later sculptures (post-seventh Century), sculptures show the goddess having decapitated the buffalo demon
Durga Puja
----------
Durga puja is an annual Hindu festival in South Asia that celebrates worship of the Hindu goddess Durga. It refers to all the six days observed as Mahalaya, Shashthi , Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami, Maha Navami and Bijoya Dashami. The dates of Durga Puja celebrations are set according to the traditional Hindu calendar and the fortnight corresponding to the festival is called Devi Paksha and is ended on Kojagori Lokkhi Puja
Durga Puja is widely celebrated in the Indian states of West Bengal, Assam, Jharkhand, Orissa and Tripura where it is a five-day annual holiday.In West Bengal and Tripura which has majority of Bengali Hindus it is the Biggest festival of the year. Not only is it the biggest Hindu festival celebrated throughout the State, but it is also the most significant socio-cultural event in Bengali society. Apart from eastern India, Durga Puja is also celebrated in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Kashmir, Karnataka and Kerala. Durga Puja is also celebrated as a major festival in Nepal and in Bangladesh where 10% population are Hindu. Nowadays, many diaspora Bengali cultural organizations arrange for Durgotsab in countries such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Singapore and Kuwait, among others. In 2006, a grand Durga Puja ceremony was held in the Great Court of the British Museum.
The prominence of Durga Puja increased gradually during the British Raj in Bengal. After the Hindu reformists identified Durga with India, she became an icon for the Indian independence movement. In the first quarter of the 20th century, the tradition of Baroyari or Community Puja was popularised due to this. After independence, Durga Puja became one of the largest celebrated festivals in the whole world.
Durga Puja also includes the worship of Shiva, Lakshmi, Ganesha, Saraswati and Kartikeya. Modern traditions have come to include the display of decorated pandals and artistically depicted idols (murti) of Durga, exchange of Bijoya Greetings and publication of Puja Annuals.
Following the fire in 1692, the Fire Commissioners planned the rebuilding of houses in brick and stone, and decreed that they should be no higher than two storeys, but raised from the street. Unusually, they also decided that all four buildings at the junction of Church Street, Jury Street and Castle Street should be imposing three-storey buildings with cornices of wood, cantilevered over the street. This building, on the south-west corner, seems just about perfect to me, beautifully proportioned and with the right balance between restraint and decoration. It's been a restaurant for at least the last 40 years, and is currently a Giggling Squid.

Ansel Adams used the golden ratio in his photography too:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrOUX3ZCl7I
The Fibonacci Numbers are closely related to the golden ratio, and thus they also play a prominent role in exalted natural and artistic compositions!
I'm working on a far deeper book titled The Golden Ratio Number for Photographers. :)
The famous mathematician Jacob Bernoulli wrote:
The (golden spiral) may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self.
Engraved upon Jacob’s tombstone is a spiral alongside the words, "Eadem Mutata Resurgo," meaning "Though changed, I shall rise again." And so it is that within the Golden Ratio Principle, the golden harmonies rise yet again.
The golden ratio is oft known as the divine cut, the golden cut, the divine proportion, the golden number, and PHI for the name of the architect of the Parthenon Phidias. It has exalted classical art on down through the millennia and it can exalt your art too!
Ask me anything about the golden ratio! :) I will do my best to answer!!
Enjoy my Fine Art Ballet instagram too!
Dr. Elliot McGucken's Golden Ratio Principle: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio. the golden number, rectangle, and spiral!

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic odyssey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

Image for the Daily Create 977 on 09/11/14, brought to you by the awesome & open digital storytelling learning community a.k.a., ds106.
Assignment: Share your favorite mathematical expression by finding images of the appropriate numbers, symbols, etc. and using them to create an image of the expression.
Working in education, I am frequently overhearing students express how they hate math, will never use it, are just trying to get through it and passed it, etc.. I'm not a math teacher but I do appreciate the practicality (and, at times, the transcendence) of math and I use it in my life all the time. The one equation that is simply a joy to use is solving for X by cross multiplication.
Here, I took photos of signs and flyers around campus, extracted the bits and pieces, and mashed them up on a chalkboard background. I had forgotten to capture the word "thing" so a Google search for the classic John Carpenter film scored me the word in this collage.
If you fancied this, it's in good company. To view the other favorites, go to: tdc.ds106.us/tdc977/
