You got a grinder, you got a dugout, you got a stash, you got a lighter, you got a poker – but what if you could have all those goodies in ONE bad ass system? WELL NOW YOU CAN!! SmoCAN, that is (see what I did there?). The SmoCAN Smoking System is like the Swiss Army […]
The largest known cave system in the world, the Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave System, as of 2022, has 426 miles of documented passages, and sits beneath the ground in Mammoth Cave National Park, established in 1941, and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981, the only designation in the state of Kentucky. The park is also an International Biosphere Reserve, designated in 1990, and an International Dark Sky Park, designated in 2021. The Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave System formed in Mississippian Limestone rock underneath a Big Clifty Sandstone cap, which has formed several stable arched passages of varying sizes from the intrusion of water into the rock layers, with the less porous sandstone cap preventing water intrusion at most locations, which have kept the caverns beneath intact and stable for eons. The water that passes through the cave system drains into the adjacent Green River, and has continuously eroded deeper into the rock along with the river. The cave is home to endemic species of organisms that have adapted to the dark conditions within the cave system. The cave system was known to indigenous people, whom mined gypsum from the walls of the caves and explored the caves, with human remains, signs of human activity, and artifacts from their presence in the cave. The cave became known to European settlers in the 1790s, and it started being mined by Valentine Simon for saltpeter to create gunpowder in 1798, with the mining activities intensifying around the time of the War of 1812, and becoming an industrial-scale operation under the ownership of Charles Wilkins and Hyman Gratz, whom used slave labor to exploit the cave’s resources. In 1838, with the decline in value of saltpeter, the cave was sold to Franklin Gorin, whom operated the cave as a tourist attraction, but was sold to Doctor John Croghan the following year. Under Gorin and Croghan, Black slaves served as tour guides for visitors, with Stephen Bishop being the most notable of these guides. Bishop made many maps of the caves during the 1840s and 1850s, and was the first known person to cross Bottomless Pit and discover the River Styx and Mammoth Dome on the other side. Croghan attempted to run a Tuberculosis Hospital within the cave in 1842-1843, believing the stable temperatures and air would assist patients, but this was short lived. In 1886, the Mammoth Cave Railroad was built between Park City and the historic Mammoth Cave Hotel, which operated until 1931. The caves were mapped more accurately by German visitor Max Kämper in 1908, whom mapped the surface topography and used instruments to document the cave, allowing for the opening of new entrances to the caverns from the surface and being the most accurate maps of the caves until the 1960s. Sadly, this was not appreciated by the Croghan family, whose historic cavern entrance was threatened in status by these maps, and Kämper returned to Germany, where he died as a soldier during World War I’s Battle of the Somme in 1916. Starting in the 1920s, the land around the caves was purchased by the private Mammoth Cave National Park Association, with the park being officially authorized in 1926. Between 1933 and 1942, the park’s landscape was reforested and infrastructure was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), part of the New Deal. Between 1954 and 1972, the cave system was further explored, culminating in the connection between the longer Flint Ridge System and wider Mammoth Cave being found, making it the longest known cave system in the world. Today, the park sees about half a million visitors annually, and contains the majority of the Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave system, with some portions of the system extending east of the park’s boundaries under privately-owned land.

Forage Systems Research Center in Linneus, MO.
The Forage Systems Research Center works to improve the quality of forage grass and determines its best use. An early promoter of management-intensive grazing, it supports the agriculture industry through courses in rotational grazing, cattle management and the economics of beef and forage. The interactions of cattle, plants and soil are necessary in understanding cause/effect relationships in beef/forage systems. Since 1990, more than 3,000 farmers and educators from several states have attended the three-day intensive Missouri Grazing School.

Ha, one of my friends lives in Kiel. Although it appears this Kiel Seating System company is based in Bavaria in southern Germany, and not the city of Kiel in northern Germany.
I think the attendees trying out the Kiel seats were as amused about me taking a photo as I was about them pretending to be sitting in a bus!

A context free grammar with associated transforms in the plane and RGB space made these...
rules like
a -> bc
b -> bd
but never like:
d -> dd
each symbol is associated with a rotation, shift and scale in the plane, and a step in a direction in he RGB color space.
There are to real terminal symbols, termination occurs when the sub-tree would be less than a pixel in size, and the pixel at the resulting position is coloured.
Much like an L-System, I would say.
Actually because the tree overwrites itself in the image, does that make it context-sensitive, in that the result depends on other symbols? Certainly you need the image buffer as well as the stack to represent the process.
My sculpture for the 3 week fine art project entitled "The Seeing Body". I decided to make a sculpture of the human nervous system because through it we interperate/see the world. Wire with uv paint. :D great fun!
Let's see. The speakers are Stirling LS3/5A V2s mounted on IKEA Lack stands. In the back on the far left is a McAlister PP 130 sweep tube amp and power supply (underneath it). On the top of the Solid Tech rack is a Rogue Atlas tube power amp. Underneath: A Singlepower MPX 3 SE Slam heaphone amp, an Arcam CD-192T CD player, McAlister tube preamp PL12. The two monoblocks in the front are Quicksilver mini-mites. All IC and speaker cables are Audionote Lexus and all power cables are from Blue Circle, including a filtered power bar you can't see. The headphone you can see is an AKG K-701 with Moon Audio Black Dragon Cable. I also own an HD - 595 (100 Ohm model) with Cardas cable. It sits in my bedroom along with an old Marantz CD67 MKII Signature CD player and a Mapletree HD1 headphone amp.

A Banking System for a Sustainable Growth in CEE
SPONSOR SESSION: UNICREDIT
10 years after the first European enlargement to CEE countries - coping also with one of the deepest financial and economic crises in our time - banking in CEE has gone through several changes. Building a more resilient financial system capable of supporting sustainable economic growth is currently one of the main shared targets of both public and private sector operating in CEE. Where we stand now in this regard? Are we moving in the right direction? What kind of role the banks need to play in order to support a sustainable economic growth? A few questions UniCredit’s sponsored panel will tried to answer.

With my frequent travel schedule and the dryness of June in Arizona, I have been continually building up my hodgepodge irrigation system, which is now a timer on the main, 3 "Y" branches, and maybe 6 different hose pieces. On segment goes to another splittler, with the main going to a soaker hose in the vegetable garden, and the other side a hose I can turn on to water manually elsewhere.
Picture here is the new "Y" off the other main branch; again with a turned off slit to another long hose to water things in the back manually, but the open one has an old hose with holes in it to water the fruit trees and new Strawberry plants.
I'm doing 3 waterings a day for about 30 minutes. Water pressure is not great here, so its a slow watering
