Luly - at that time she was working in multimedia office, later she dedicated herself to video and now lives and works in Paris. Small, nice, sensitive heartbreaker. This picture was sort of homage to 80's aesthetics with David Bovie & Nina Hagen in my mind.

Not sure how "wild" this fern is, as the Huntsville Botanical Garden has an extensive and very nice fern garden. This was on their Wildflower Trail which had lots of ferns growing up in the woods and among the wildflowers
Onoclea sensibilis, the Sensitive Fern, also known as the Bead Fern, is a coarse-textured, medium to large-sized perennial fern. The name comes from the observation by early American settlers that it was very sensitive to frost, the fronds dying quickly when first touched by it. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Onoclea.
This species looks distinct from other ferns in the region. The bright, yellow-green sterile fronds are deeply pinnatifid and are typically borne at intervals along a creeping rhizome. They grow to about 90 centimetres (35 in) long, with a long, smooth stipe.
The fertile fronds are much smaller, not green, and have very narrow pinnae. The sori are clustered like beads or grapes on the upright fertile fronds, hence the common name Bead fern. The fiddleheads are a pale red color.
Sensitive Fern dwells in a variety of wet swamp and wood habitats: wet meadows, thickets and bogs, as well as stream and riverbanks and roadside ditches. It ranges from Newfoundland south to Florida and west to Texas, the Rocky Mountains, North Dakota and Manitoba. It is also native to East Asia, and has become naturalized in western Europe.
It grows best in a shaded or partially shaded area in a moist slightly acidic soil. The plant can tolerate dryer conditions in shade, and will tolerate wet soils and so occurs in soggy ground or at the very edge of water in shade or sun. Sensitive ferns spread to form colonies and are often the first species to inhabit disturbed areas. They can become weedy if not sited properly.
Onoclea sensibilis is also a facultative wetland indicator, toxic, and a host to the pathogen which causes bacterial wilt in rice.
The wetlands installation has replica Cypress 'Knees', or pneumatophones dotted throughout.

Installed as part of the North American Landscape, a collaboration between Kew Gardens and the British Museum.
From the British Museum website:
Travel up from the Florida swamps, through the Missouri prairie to the forests of New England and Canada – all without leaving London.
Wander through the landscape and discover more about the relationships between humans and plants – from Native North Americans to New World encounters and modern conservation projects. Experience the changing landscape throughout the seasons from a carpet of colourful daisies in the summer to spectacular orange and red autumn maple leaves. Other planting includes lupins, echinacea and carnivorous pitcher plants.
The plants of the North American subcontinent have global ecological and economic importance. Utilised by native peoples for thousands of years, many were introduced to Europe following the colonisation of North America in the early 1600s. Grown for their medicinal uses, as food crops and for other economic purposes, some species have also become familiar ornamental garden plants.
This is the fifth landscape on the Museum’s West Lawn created in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, celebrating a shared vision to strengthen cultural understanding and support biodiversity conservation across the world.
We got these cups from Taco Bell in 1997. They are temperature sensitive, but in a bucking of the usual trends, they react to cold, not heat. The one on the left is filled with whiskey + coke + ice. The one on the right is empty. Color-changing FTW!

When night falls, light is necessary to us. This lantern does not need us to switch it on. When you pick it up, the capacitive sensor in it will know your intention. Also it will gradually dim out after use.
Zarnala is a female illustrator with a knack for anthropomorphic illustration, combining human and animal elements to create something altogether new. Unlike other forms of anthropomorphic art one can find out there though, her work always retains a tasteful, professional edge similar comics .
With an awesome watercolor themed approach to all her illustration work and her use of graphic shapes to frame her characters, at times it gives her art a strangely retro look.

I just watched Epic Fu's great episode, which included a piece on The Face Transfomer. Beyond thinking that the Face Transfomer is cool, I started thinking about the social meaning behind this exercise.
Here I am pretending to be an “Afro-Carriabean” - wtf? I mean cool yes, sure, I want to see what I look like as a manga character and am curious to see what I look like as a black person, but there was something odd about trying on different races. Literally.
What does it mean for race relations and conceptions when we feel that we can freely try on different races? Have we become so comfortable with race that we can play around with it like shopping for clothing?
I am always really sensitive when people say that a person acts like a certain race or culture. It’s almost akin to imaginatively being another race - kinda like what we are doing with Face Transfomer. And you know I actually hear this verbal exchange most often among my white and black or latino friends. I’ve heard a black person say to a white person, “you know so much about black culture that you are black or at least must have been black in a past life.” Now I find that on one end to be a compliment, that the white person is accepted as part of the black community, but on the other end I find it difficult to swallow as a form of compliment because most often it is white people who have the most latitude to be absorbed into another race or cultural group. You don’t usually hear the reverse, that a white person will say to a black person, “wow you know so much about black culture that you are actually white!” It's like you hear in the movies where they say to white people, you can always come into our part of town, but we will never be allowed to come into yours.
For dominant groups, like Caucasians in the US, race can be an after thought so it’s almost like a novelty to pretend for a moment that one is another race or ethnicity. For people who look anything other than white in Western countries, there isn’t as much freedom to forget one’s skin color because they are reminded of it (usually negatively) in their daily interactions with institutions and people.
In particular, for non-whites, being a certain race or ethnicity can be a complicated process of accepting ones skin color and coming to terms with the popular (mis)conceptions of one’s race or ethnic group. A lot of times, this entails the imagination of being white before a full embracement of one’s race or heritage. For a time period when I was a teenager raised in an all white upper-class community, I wished I was white so badly so that I wouldn't have to deal with the racist jaunts by my classmates. And so here I am, trying on a "West-Indian" face. Kinda surreal. Now do I really want to imagine what it is like to look like an Indian female, let's say in the US? or in India? and from what class? what is my migration history? or was I born here? My point is that being another race is more than just trying it on for a few seconds digitally, but some how we've reduced it down to just that and I wonder if this novelty is an indicator of that we're comfortable with race or that we're just dealing with race in a more post-modern removed and techno-mediated way.
And you know it's usually people who are more affluent who have the opportunity become the "other," to learn about another culture and to transplant themselves into another ethnic group’s cultural world. So jokes made to white people like “wow you know so much about my culture, you must be Mexican” just make me uncomfortable because there’s a certain level of privilege that comes with learning about another “culture.” The fact that I make time and spend money to learn Spanish because I find the language beautiful and useful for my academic interests in Mexican migration is a privilege. Now it is a privilege that I embrace and am not embarrassed of and make no apologies for, but at the same time I am quite aware of my social position to even be able to learn another language more out of interest and less out of need.
So back to Face Transformer - does this mean America is comfortable with race (and manga, chimps and euro painters j/k) if we can freely try on different races? And what does this say about race when we can collapse large groups of people together into general categories? In Face Transformers all the blacks, Caribbeans and Africans are grouped into the afro-caribbean category, and all Asians are collapsed into the East-Asian category and I think the West Indian group is not referring to people from the West Indies but Indians and Middle-Easterners. This is an odd form of racial reductionism. And where are the Latinos – where do they fit in this? And Inuits?
I’ve always kept a tab on these Face Transformer-like sites and I think the fun in trying these online sites out is an expression of an underlying desire to temporarily imagine another physical body without fully committing to that body/face. And the kinds of changes rendered by these online sites point to a greater cultural obsession or let’s say anxiety with that rendering. So for Face Transfomers we could say this is an obsession with race and euro paintings:) Oh and with age also – you can chose to be a young adult, baby, teenager and old person.
One of the predecessors to Face Transformers was My Heritage and I wrote about the social meaning behind that too 2 years ago when it launched. So instead of transforming into a race or chimp, like Face Transformer, you can transform yourself into a celebrity and see which one you most closely resemble. So this points to an obsession with celebrities.
Well after my social diagnosis I think I will upload another picture on Face Transformer and see what I look like as a Male. Hmmm perhaps I have an underlying anxiety with switching genders? Well did anyone have these thoughts when they uploaded a face on Face Transfomer?
oh and one thing that I definitely learned is that I don't like good as a Caucasian! Good thing that I embrace my Chinese face!

Sensitive teeth are typically the result of worn tooth enamel or exposed tooth roots. This makes discomfort when your teeth or a specific tooth are exposed to cold air, liquids, and certain foods.

Clarisonic Sensitive Brush Head
Brush Head Q&A
Q: How does Clarisonic make brush heads for different needs?
A: For the most customized experience possible, Clarisonic brush head bristles are cut to varied lengths on each type of brush head, with the longest length providing the most plush feel. This offers different levels of gentleness, while each is equally effective.
Q: How do Clarisonic brush heads work so effectively?
A: Our brush heads oscillate back and forth at over 300 movements per second, gently flexing the skin. This motion releases dirt and oil within the pores and sweeps away dead skin cells, impurities, and environmental pollutants.
Q: Are Clarisonic brush heads patented?
A: We have clinically tested the softness and effectiveness of our brushes, and have several patents on our unique design and functionality.
Q: What is the bristle material?
A: They are made from FDA-grade DuPont TYNIEX® Supersoft Filament, some of the softest material available, which is also used for cosmetic brushes. Each bristle is rounded on the end, making it extra gentle.
Q: How often can I cleanse with Clarisonic brush heads?
A: All our brush heads are safe and gentle for use twice a day.
the most fascinating plant around...well, for those of us who enjoy instant gratification.

Sensitive plant flower bud (Mimosa pudica)
This is a fun little plant, also known as "touch-me-not". When touched gently, the leaflets fold up along the center midrib. If touched with a little more force, the leaflets not only fold up, but then drop down against the stem. If you pick up the pot to move it, the whole plant seems to collapse in upon itself. The leaves slowly unfold and stand back upright after a few minutes. The leaves also fold up on their own at night, and unfold each morning.
Native to tropical Central and South America. Has a become a troublesome weed in many parts of the tropics. Sold as a novelty houseplant and educational tool in temperate climates.
See the buds open, and the leaves fold up, in this really cool time-lapse video.
"No puede ser que sea aquello que desarrollamos por el sol? y que sólo entendemos cuando experimentamos la sensación de muerte?. Escribo esto pensando en esos momentos ficticios como que pueden durar horas, días, o incluso una vida pero la verdad es que sólo lo comprendo en no mucho más que unos segundos.
Tan romántico, me burlo… pero puede que haya cierta física tras la física.
... y el Arte y la expresión son la mejor droga, la capacidad de transmutación que manejan me deja en una. Lo pienso chistoso, sedado, con alergia.
Una rueda de bicicleta me ayudaría a explicar esto pero voy a nombrar al espiral, esa forma (seductora), es una buena amiga. Me gusta su peligro y su manipulación.
Hay cosas que no se pueden detener y es aquí, tiempo después, que me levanto frente a la misma. Embriagado escribo, y pienso luego. Gravedad [...]

In order to grow their endo- and exoskeleton, screamers need to supplement their fruit diet with lots of minerals. They get them in abundance in the caves where they make their nests by the thousands. The rock of the particular caves they favor are natural sources of helium. Screamers store the ingested helium into their own porous bones and use them to achieve buoyancy. They use their high-frequency screams, which have distinct helium induced notes, together with their very sensitive to vibration hair-like structures as a primitive sonar to navigate the darkness of their cave dwelling.
