Guy Gardner
By Michael Vance
In bad comic books, at least one axiom holds true: clothes make the [super]man.
In the arts, a device that triggers instant recognition is called a “signature”. James Bond, Bob Hope, and Alfred Hitchcock have signature theme songs. Sherlock Holmes has his cap, Popeye has spinach, and Superman his [super]clothes. In comic books, superhero costumes are very important signatures.
But when you can change the hero in the costume without changing the entire comic book, you’ve uncovered the close cousin of signature. It’s called stereotype. Signatures are good. Stereotypes are … less good.
Lots of comic book costumes have changed their hero’s inside in the last twenty years. At least one new guy in an old uniform has changed much more than his socks, however … Guy Gardner, the Green Lantern of Earth.
Like his fellow Lantern members on almost every inhabited planet, Guy owns a green ring that turns will power into real power. He recharges this ring at a source shaped like a … green lantern. He also possesses one attribute that makes Guy a standout among superheroes.
Guy has a personality: an obnoxious, egocentric, sarcastic personality.
Gardner, signature ring and suit are held hostage by slimy aliens in the latest edition of “Guy Gardner: Year One”. These aliens “took my ring and they’re making a duplicate me that’s gonna take over my planet”.
Original plot is not a signature for Guy.
What Gardner has changed is the flavor of this well-written and distinctively drawn SF comic. He’s almost believable as a human being. (The super powers get in the way of believability). He’s a character that you’d enjoy knowing despite his faults. (The super powers weaken that too). But Guy is very close to real.
Being real is one of the secrets of great storytelling because (surprise!!) clothes really don’t make the [super]man.
Oh, yeah. The weird alien Green Lanterns are fun to.

Ram Yantra in Jantar Mantar is the device used for measuring the altitude of stars. It is a cylindrical instrument, consisting of two large buildings open to the sky. The beauty of the instrument is, that it gives us direct readings. Basically the instrument consists of two circular stone building. If we unite them together, it becomes one instrument. This way one is complimentary to the other. They are constructed at a reasonable distance. In the centre of the instrument a perpendicular rod is fixed, which is of the same height of the building itself. Twelve stone triangles are fixed above the ground. These triangular stone slabs are graduated from 90 degree to 45 degree, while 45 to 0 degree the graduations are on the circular wall. This is an instrument by which we come to know the movement of stars. It is based on the horizon and zenith system. For measuring the azimuth, readings are marked at equal distances along the circumference of the gnomon of Ram Yantra. For measuring the altitude, readings are marked on the flans and walls of the yantra.The readings on the walls can be understood using the elementary formula- tan ? = l/r
About Jantar Mantar
The Jantar Mantar (literally the 'instrument and formula' and often called the Jantar Mantar), is located in the modern city of New Delhi, Delhi. It consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments, built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, from 1724 onwards, and is one of five built by him, as he was given by Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah the task of revising the calendar and astronomical tables. There is plaque fixed on one of the structures in the Jantar Mantar observatory in New Delhi that was placed there in 1910 mistakenly dating the construction of the complex to the year 1710. Later research, though, suggests 1724 as the actual year of construction.
The primary purpose of the observatory was to compile astronomical tables, and to predict the times and movements of the sun, moon and planets. Some of these purposes nowadays would be classified as astronomy.

Your expensive electronics, appliances, and electrical machinery are under constant assault by power surges and spikes, waste of electricity brought on by unused capacity and electrical noise. It is costing you significant amounts in not only your electric bill but also in the life span of your possessions. Thankfully, there's a solution: Energy Saving Device is a triple threat to poorly conditioned electricity. It eliminates waste of electricity caused by inductive motors, offers complete surge and spike protection for your entire electrical system, and reduces obnoxious noise that deteriorates your electronics over time.
Many of the appliances in your home utilize some kind of motor (refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ceiling fans, air conditioning units, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners and furnace blowers, to name a few.) These appliances are designed to operate most efficiently when at operating at full capacity. They pull more energy than they use when not operating at full capacity, wasting the difference. Now ask yourself this ... “How often does anything in my house work at full capacity?” If you’re like most Americans, your home is only operating at a Power Factor of 77. That means you’re wasting 23% of the electricity being delivered by home, just because your motorized appliances are working at less than capacity.

The restraining device is designed to let the child simply "hang" Buzz in the spaceship by his wings. There's enough clearance to put Buzz in high and slide him down into position. The break in the middle layer of wood provides bracing for Buzz's legs, and some velcro straps stapled to the blocks hold Buzz securely in position. The device is attached to the cardboard by screwing a 1/4" brace to it from the back of the spaceship.

An ASD closure device is moved through the catheter to the heart and specifically to the location of the heart wall defect. Once in the correct location, the ASD closure device is allowed to expand its shape to straddle each side of the hole. The device will remain in the heart permanently to stop the abnormal flow of blood between the two atria chambers of the heart. The catheter is then removed and the procedure is complete.

Wake up this morning and enjoyed playing around with my optical toys.
the first device is the "Praxinoscope", invented in 1877 by the Frenchman Charles Reynaud. A band of pictures is reflected by the inner set of mirrors. The number of mirrors is equal to the number of pictures, and the images of the pictures are viewed in the mirrors. When the outer disc rotates, the quick succession of reflected pictures gives the illusion of a moving picture. Reynaud found a way to project the series of pictures onto a screen. He called this the "Theatre Optique." He used a long roll of paper to increase the number of pictures, and was therefore able to create a much longer show for an audience.
the second toy is the "Zoetrope", invented in 1834 by William Horner, who originally called it a Daedalum ("wheel of the Devil"). Horner's invention strangely became forgotten for nearly thirty years until 1867, when it became patented in England by M. Bradley, and in America by William F. Lincoln. Lincoln renamed the Daedalum, giving it the name of "zoetrope," or "wheel of life."
The zoetrope consists of a simple drum with an open top, supported on a central axis. A sequence of hand-drawn pictures on strips of paper are placed around the inner bottom of the drum. Slots are cut at equal distances around the outer surface of the drum, just above where the picture strips were to be positioned. To create an illusion of motion, the drum is spun; the faster the rate of spin, the smoother the progression of images. A viewer can look through the wall of the zoetrope from any point around it, and see a rapid progression of images. Because of its design, more than one person could use the zoetrope at the same time.
When the praxinoscope was invented by Reynaud in 1877, interest in the zoetrope declined. The praxinoscope offered a clearer, brighter image to viewers than the zoetrope could. In 1889, George Eastman invented flexible photographic film, which allowed a lot of film to be held on one reel. Whereas zoetrope picture strips were limited to about 15 pictures per strip, devices using reels of the new flexible film could present longer animations to viewers.
Finally, in 1895, modern cinema was born. Once moving pictures could be projected on a large screen, optical toys such as the zoetrope became used less and less frequently.

After a guided tour of Barcelona by coach (in the rain), our tour guide took us for a scheduled visit to the Sagrada Familia, at about 12:30pm CEST (we arrived a bit early). After queuing up, and getting through airport style security, we were giving a earphones set and a listening device.
A bit of free time in the Sagrada Familia. A look at some parts the guide didn't take us too, although it's all the same.
The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan: [səˈɣɾaðə fəˈmili.ə]; Spanish: Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia; "Expiatory Church of the Holy Family") is a large unfinished Roman Catholic church in Barcelona. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica.
In 1882, construction of Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco DE Paula Del Villa. In 1883, when Villa resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the crypt. At the time of his death at age 73 in 1926, when he was run down by a tram, less than a quarter of the project was complete.
Relying solely on private donations, Granada Familiar's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, revolutionaries set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí's original plans, drawings and plaster models, which led to 16 years work to piece together the fragments of the master model. Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s. Advancements in technologies such as computer aided design and computerized numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction past the midpoint in 2010. However, some of the project's greatest challenges remain, including the construction of ten more spires, each symbolising an important Biblical figure in the New Testament. It is anticipated that the building can be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.
The basilica has a long history of splitting opinion among the residents of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's cathedral, over Gaudí's design itself, over the possibility that work after Gaudí's death disregarded his design, and the 2007 proposal to build a tunnel of Spain's high-speed rail link to France which could disturb its stability. Describing Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said "it is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art", and Paul Goldberger describes it as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages".

A close-up view of the Solar Wind Composition device. Astronaut Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot, took this photograph, after having deployed the device. Astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., commander, and Bean descended in the Apollo 12 Lunar Module (LM) to explore the moon, while astronaut Richard F. Gordon Jr., command module pilot, remained in lunar orbit with the Command and Service Modules (CSM).
This cipher device was used by the Ministry of the Interior of Denmark to secure its communications at least from 1910 to 1914, although the device itself may be much older. Individual letters are inscribed on ivory tiles which can be taken out and easily rescrambled around the central disk to change the substitutions for letters. The Danish Ministry probably issued a chart listing the letter arrangements and changes for a stated period, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.
The Italian scholar Leon Battista Alberti wrote an essay in 1466 laying out the principles of polyalphabetic substitution. These principles were used by the U.S. as late as the Vietnam War.

An observation from someone who is not an expert in cryptography: Cryptography is about converting order (a written or spoken message) to disorder (an encrypted communication with no clear patterns) and vice versa. Thus, I find it interesting that a number of tools for cryptography—especially prior to the digital age—have a physical order or pattern.
SEX WITH ROBOTS AND OTHER DEVICES

It’s 2018. Except, it feels like 2050, or a different planet. Trust us, it’s definitely 2018.
Your neighbours can’t have children, so they buy them. Your dad is lonely (and let’s face it, horny) so he sources some pretty interesting company. Your best friend has started dating someone you’ve never met, and never will.
Sex with Robots is the new play by Nessah Muthy (Gastronauts, Royal Court Theatre) which explores the normality of using advanced technology in our dayto-day love lives, and the moral implications that come with being able to buy whatever you desire the most.
This production is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
