yet each time, he's always right -- there IS a pillow down there (behind the couch, to land on)

The twin role played by the skin – protection from excessive UV radiation and absorption of enough sunlight to trigger the production of vitamin D – means that people living in the lower latitudes, close to the Equator, with intense UV radiation, have developed darker skin to protect them from the damaging effects of UV radiation. In contrast, those living in the higher latitudes, closer to the Poles, have developed fair skin to maximize vitamin D production.

I used all 4 products on these tables.
1. Pre-stain. This is to try to get even absorption of the stain by the wood. This was the first I used it and it did work.
2. Cherry Danish Oil. Looked too pink and the smell horrid. It still smelled awful after 9 months.
3. Antique Walnut poly/stain. Made it a little more brown.
4. BriWax (Light brown). Subtle color change. Sealed in all of the terrible ordors. I made use another coat of Briwax on these after I finish assembling a bed. I like to do a bunch at once.
The legs were a real pain to attach. I started with wood glue and ended up with superglue. I did all of the staining first because glue does not absorb stain.
Note: I think the Briwax might be making it difficult for the glue to attach to the pieces. I'm trying to put a bed togther no and wood glue will not hold. I guess the wax needs to go on after assembly.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chance Nkosi Gomez known initiated by H.H Swami Jyotirmayanda as Sri Govinda walks an integral yogic path in which photography is the primary creative field of expression. The medium was introduced during sophomore year of high school by educator Dr. Devin Marsh of Robert Morgan Educational Center. Coming into alignment with light, its nature and articulating the camera was the focus during that time. Thereafter while completing a Photographic Technology Degree, the realization of what made an image “striking” came to the foreground of the inner dialogue. These college years brought forth major absorption and reflection as an apprentice to photographer and educator Tony A. Chirinos of Miami Dade College. The process of working towards a singular idea of interest and thus building a series became the heading from here on while the camera aided in cultivating an adherence to the present moment. The viewfinder resembles a doorway to the unified field of consciousness in which line, shape, form, color, value, texture all dissolve. It is here that the yogi is reminded of sat-chit-ananda (the supreme reality as all-pervading; pure consciousness). As of May 2024 Govinda has completed his 300hr yoga teacher training program at Sattva Yoga Academy studying from Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra in Rishikesh, India, Himalayas. This has strengthened his personal Sadhana and allows one to carry and share ancient Vedic Technology leading others in ultimately directing their intellect to bloom into intuition. As awareness and self-realization grows so does the imagery that is all at once divine in the mastery of capturing and controlling light. Over the last seven years he has self-published six photographic books, Follow me i’ll be right behind you (2017), Sonata - Minimal Study (2018), Birds Singing Lies (2018), Rwanda (2019), Where does the body begin? (2019) & Swayam Jyotis (2023). Currently, Govinda is employed at the Leica Store Miami as a camera specialist and starting his journey as a practitioner of yoga ॐ

LEVELS OF ABSORPTION, 2004 by LAURA MAYOTTE
36”w x 20 1/2”h x 16”d
Handmade flax paper, handspun and dyed linen yarn, indigo dye.
Artist’s Statement
Levels of Absorption holds many meanings for me. Literal meanings, such as the actual absorption of the indigo dye on the pages and watermarks, and abstract meanings, such as (being a book form) how much knowledge we absorb over a lifetime, the fact that we never make use of our entire brain, that there is always room for more knowledge, learning and growth, and that also the tree-like shape adds to this idea of growth over time. All the sewing reflects the pathways of the brain and how we think; how everything is connected, how odd things can remind us of seemingly unrelated things, but they are all there and accessible. This sewing is also rather electricity-like in appearance, and metaphorically, referring to how fast our thoughts can be, our natural reflexes or responses to stimuli, and how knowledge gained over time can be instantly accessed once learned.

How To Measure A Planet est le 5e album du groupe néerlandais The Gathering, sorti le 26 janvier 1999 chez Century Media, et le premier sans le guitariste Jelmar Wiersma parti durant la composition de la démo de l'album. Il s'agit d'un double-cd représentant un réel tournant dans la carrière du groupe, puisqu'il se détache du metal atmosphérique pour se rapprocher d'un rock indie influencé par des groupes tels que Radiohead. S'il fut un choc auprès du public originel européen du groupe, l'album leur permit de se faire connaître en dehors du continent, notamment aux États-Unis.
CD 1 :
Frail (You Might As Well Be Me)
Great Ocean Road
Rescue Me
My Electricity
Liberty Bell*
Red Is A Slow Colour
The Big Sleep
Marooned
Travel
How to Measure a Planet? is fifth studio album by the Dutch alternative rock band The Gathering. It was released on 9 November 1998 by Century Media Records. The album was recorded at Bauwhaus Studios, Amsterdam and Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum between July and October 1998 under the guidance of producer Attie Bauw.
The theme of space travel runs through many of the songs on the album as well as on the cover and CD booklet.
The track "Liberty Bell" was released as a single in Europe as well as in Canada via Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles #12 track 9.
Upon release, the album received positive reviews from critics who appreciated the band's absorption of new styles such as shoegaze and trip hop into its sound. Many fans of the more metallic side of the group weren't so pleased, however, and it sold about two-thirds as much as its two predecessors (although some slippage should be expected, given it was a more expensive two-CD package). Many of the Gathering's fans did stay with the band, and, as the members have said, it brought them a whole new fanbase.
How to Measure a Planet? remains something of a high point for the Gathering, with tracks from the album making up the majority of its two subsequent live albums, Superheat (2000) and Sleepy Buildings (2004).
In Japan, a one-CD version of the album was released, omitting the nearly half-hour title track.
being tagged seems to be just another portrait of self absorption, but it is nice. thanks.
(1) there are times where i am not conscious of who i am, then i find out simultaneously
(2) it is hard to concentrate on anything when the font on my computer screen is large
(3) i have been wandering around making up movies in my head
(4) it can be quite lonesome being present in both numbness and intensity
(5) it is hard to speak when you do not know the right words; when you urge to be free, silence tends to make you feel in exile in your own mind
(6) thanks to jesus, i've found my way out of developing my sense of worth from people
(7) mew, is the most played band in my iTunes
(8) for the most part, if i'm not busy i start sinking and listening
(9) sometimes i like the internet and sometimes it wears me out
(10) we all have a fondness for sadness
The Solar-Powered Interstellar Drone for Extraterrestrial Research (S.P.I.D.E.R.) is finally completed at the 'Moonbase Celebration 50'.
With onboard intelligence, a formidable assortment of tools, and unlimited renewable power, this endlessly useful companion is sometimes referred to as 'GRAMPS' - Giant Robotic Assistant & Mobile Power Station (especially by arachnophobic astronauts).
Future missions will be accompanied by these units, to aid in planetoid habitability investigation and geo/bio research. Manipulator arms, coupled with highly advanced sensors allow this drone to examine samples, move debris, haul equipment, and even carry out rescue operations for astronauts in danger.
Fully capable of traversing uneven terrain, and repelling into crevaces with it's winch, this robotic research assistant can go just about anywhere on atmospheric and non-atmospheric terrestrial landscapes.
Prepare to give Space exploration a leg-up (or six!) and take your celestial crew to a whole new level of awesome adventure with a giant (robot) S.P.I.D.E.R. on board!
------ [[[¤]]] ------
This MOC has been a journey, developing a seamless transition through System and CCBS/Bionicle elements. With adjustable Greebles to simulate actuators. Fully articulated through each leg, the model is stable, poseable, and quite dynamic (in-environment shots coming soon!).
The features include: adjustable solar arrays, whiskers, and rear hitches, poseable manipulator arms (3), legs with up to 12+ points of articulation each + working shock absorption, opening hatch to reveal central core, storage for a large assortment of space tools, and a working winch (which can support the full weight of the build).
Watch my video for a hands-on with the features: youtu.be/Q3HC0IzGPfc
Thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoy it!

A slide from the webinar introduced in the adjacent post. Thanks to Yuri Baletsky for the use of two of his wonderful sky images from the Chilean Observatories.
The colour bands arise from the balance between the opacity of the atmosphere at different wavelengths and the total column density of atmosphere taken when sunlight traverses different paths to reach us from different directions in the sky.

Many spiritual traditions speak of moments of disorientation close to enlightenment. The Sufi’s call it bewilderment. There is also the risky absorption of passion so as to understand its every nuance, as is practiced in Tantric traditions. Apparent setbacks must come close to the summit because they would simply dislodge a quester if they struck any earlier. They are particularly associated with paths that follow erotic love. It is a powerful way of aligning with the divine. It is tremendous but tricky. If the possessive element of eros has left Dante, he is still learning to let love carry him forward, prior to the juncture when it can be born within him, as it was in Mary at the hour of the Incarnation…
… Dante retreats within himself. He returns to his center. Love addresses him in various ways he remarks. As he reflects on his experience again, he sees how love can strike boldly, as it did when he first saw Beatrice, or with nuance, as it does more commonly, drawing the individual toward what is beautiful and good. Love is always calling in the soul, Dante continues, referring to love as the Alpha and Omega. But however it calls, the calling must be understood to be followed.
-Mark Vernon, Dante’s Divine Comedy, A guide for the spiritual journey

"The Entombment" (detail).
After RAPHAEL, Raffaello Santi; (Italian; 1483-1520)
oil on canvas 174.6 x 170.0 .This is a full-scale copy, by an unknown artist, of one of Raphael's major panel pictures, finished in 1507 (Galleria Borghese, Rome). A fine painting, it was bought by the Foulis brothers for their Academy of Fine Arts, Glasgow's first art academy, so that students could learn from an important example of the master's work. This picture was rescued by the Friends of College in 1776 from the Foulis bankruptcy sale in London. It was finally sold to the University of Glasgow in 1779. The work is an accomplished copy, by an unknown hand, of Raphael's dymanic response to Atalanta Baglioni's 1505 commission for an altar piece for San Francesco del Prato in Perugia. Robert Foulis, who inaugurated the Academy in 1754, made copious purchases of casts and 'Old Masters' - genuine or not - to support the teaching role of the school. Raphael seems to have been held in dutiful regard by the Academy, which possessed a few good copies of the master, and which issued sets of engravings after certain of his most celebrated works. Yet Raphael's position was equivocal within the fledgling Academies of Britain - he represented the epitome of 'high taste', yet could be lampooned mercilessly for that very rigidity : witness Joshua Reynolds' caricature of the 'School of Athens' of 1751, now in the National Gallery of Ireland. It indeed transpired that the Foulis Raphaels had little role in the formation of subsequent trends in Scottish art. Genre, portraiture and landscape were too important to the Scots, as was the desirability of evolving a distinctive personal style. Nevertheless, the average Foulis student may have gained from the 'Entombment' an insight into the mechanics of high art, namely, the absorption of great example transmuted by highly developed personal taste. For has not Raphael himself, in this composition, adapted, in the most cunningly surreptitious way, both the Christ figure of Michelangelo's 'Pieta' of 1497-1500 and the Virgin of Michelangelo's Doni Tondo (1503-4) for the figure supporting the swooning Virgin on the right? The Scottish artist doubtless acknowledged this complexity, but resolved ultimately to resist its convolutions. After the dissolution of the Foulis Academy, this fine copy was rescued by the 'Friends of College', who purchased it at sale in London in 1776. It was finally sold to the University of Glasgow in 1779, and remains as memorial to Glasgow's precocious artistic life in the latter half of the 18th century. Text Copyright : Marion Lawson, History of Art Department, University of Glasgow, 1984. Our painting was among the works acquired by the Glasgow University Printer Robert Foulis to hang in the Academy of painting and used by students for copying. For another of the paintings formerly in the Foulis collection see 43521, the Martyrdom of St Catherine by Cossiers. In 1768 Robert Paul, a Foulis Academy pupil, engraved a Raphael drawing for the picture then owned by Crozat. Oil copies of the heads of Saint Mary Magdalen and of Nicidemus appear in p. 3 of A Catalogue of Pictures, Drawings, Prints, Statues and Busts in Plaster of Paris done at the Academy in Glasgow, c.1763 (Duncan p.113). Another same size copy, attributed to Cavaliere d'Arpino, is in the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia. Purchased, 1779.

The main line track situated on the right was the former property of the Clinchfield Railroad. These old GE B36-7 locomotive would not last too many more years in service from this point in time. You may observe that the locomotive is spotted over some absorptive material to catching any fluid droppings.

Unless they are astronauts, humans must view the Universe through the window of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Although a clear sky is relatively transparent to visible light, bright astronomical objects — most noticeably the Sun — can paint the entire sky with luminosity, colour and shadow to be captured by both landscape painters and photographers.
How does this happen and what physical processes are responsible for these beautiful colours, gradations and patterns?
The talk explains some of this and is illustrated with spectacular images of the sky from space and from above the European observatories in the Chilean Atacama desert.
It concludes with some remarks about how we will characterise the atmospheres of Earth-like planets orbiting other stars.

Robert (Bob) Fosbury is currently an emeritus astronomer at the European Southern Observatory and an honorary professor at the Institute of Ophthalmology at UCL. He worked for 26 years at the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of ESA‘s collaboration with NASA on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) project based at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) near Munich in Germany.
Fosbury joined this initiative in 1985, more than 5 years before launch. During the latter part of this period, Bob served on NASA‘s Ad Hoc Science Working Group and ESA‘s Study Science Team as they developed the instrument concepts for the James Webb Space Telescope, the next-generation space observatory.
He has worked on topics including solar-type stars, the environments of black holes in quasars and active galaxies, the nature of galaxies in the early Universe and, most recently, on ways of characterising the atmospheres of earth-like exoplanets.
In retirement, he has turned to studies of animal, including human, vision by working with visual neuroscientist on the effects environmental light on animal systems.

The Sun in smoke from Washington State forest fires obscuring skies in southern Alberta, August 25, 2015. The Sun was dim enough to observe naked eye and throigh binoculars at times. A large sunspot group, #AR2403, was just visible naked eye.
This is a compopsite two exposures taken with no filter: a short exposire (for the Sun disk to show the sunspot) and a longer exposure (for the sky), both taken through a 200mm telephoto lens with 1.4x extender on the Canon 60Da, to replicate the view through binoculars.
