The Magnus effect is the phenomenon whereby a spinning object flying in a fluid creates a whirlpool of fluid around itself, and experiences a force perpendicular to the line of motion and away from the direction of spin. The overall behaviour is similar to that around an aerofoil (see lift force) with a circulation which is generated by the mechanical rotation, rather than by aerofoil action. In many ball sports, the Magnus effect is responsible for the curved motion of a spinning ball. The effect also affects spinning missiles, and is used in some flying machines.
German physicist Heinrich Magnus first described the effect in 1853, but according to James Gleick, Isaac Newton described it and correctly theorized the cause 180 years earlier, after observing tennis players in his Cambridge college.
Effector (Gas Mask-controlled).
This is an effector that is controlled by a gas mask that contains a mic and a contact mic.
It is used for noise live performances.
One of the images as part of the 'dada collage'. Eva waiting in the car for our sunrise photo session. The split photo effect is a photoshop action by panosfx.com

First time toying around with tiled-shot on high resolution resampled down to 1920x1080, most shots came out pretty well, sadly you can see the sitch-points on some .. oh well.
The photo above is of a dance group "Double Time" at my friend (Chris Clays) show. The show was called A.N.O.L.T and drew attention to the variety of local talent in Colchester. Taken on my Sony A77, ISO-1600, 1/60sec.
“It's the Real Thing.”
When is a Coca-Cola, not the real thing? When it's a COCO-Cola!
Having access to newspaper archives, is a bit like having a view to the past. Perhaps MEs have always happened naturally, or there are many parallels running alongside our own existence. During Coca-Cola's burgeoning history, there is an overwhelming amount of artifacts to suggest there are those who know the drink as COCO-Cola.
Sadly, I haven't found a Coco-Cola script logo (yet!), but all these snapshots are from adverts originating from "Coco-Cola" itself; many of them listing Coco-Cola as their regional bottling plant, and with plenty of mention in their body copy as well.
Want to scry into a potential COCO-Cola dimension? It's the real thing!
Mirror effect without mirrors. Held the angle to position the other stem of the orchid plant in such a way that it looks the reflection of the one in the front
A section of the woods where the sunlight was being filtered by the trees making a very striking effect.
My first day of exploration of the Droste Effect. The recursion appeals to the computer scientist in me :)
The original image is of the Campus Mall at the University of Maryland in College Park taken specifically for use with this effect. The Droste effect within the picture frame was done using Adobe® Photoshop® CS2.
Mirrors lie very discreetly, some women don't. But shadows have their own way of imitating reality. They only lie in Mordor. Anywhere else they try to mock more than to reflect.
Read Andersens fairy tale about the shadow who became master of his owner, watch Nosferatu, look, how little events cast their big shadows ahead, just because the sun is really down...
But no one seems to notice. We all want to rise in the shadow of great men and women. Women cultivate eye shadow, men grow a five o'clock shadow (must be an old english tradition) - and a lot of girls stop eating until they are only a shadow of their former self. And always remember how mocking, insulting, hollow and evil the soul of a shadow is.
So: Stop orientating your life towards other peoples shadows. ("We three kings from orient are"? Think about it before you sing about it.) Shadow yourself. You might be surprised what you find in the light of day - even if it's a cold one.
Be the light and the moth. Be your own light at the end of the tunnel. There's no one else who wants your shadow. You have to live with it. But you can control it - if you control yourself.

Muqdadiya, Diyala Province, Iraq May 2007
This is a picture of a main commercial street in the afternoon. Notice how all the stores are shut and boarded up. Due to the heat of the sun, Iraqis generally engage in commercial activities from sunrise to 11AM and Sunset to 9PM. Abiotic factors such as climate, soil and water determine where and how humans congregate together.
I was situated on top of a building over watching the street for hours and noticed that only animals walked the streets during the hottest part of the day.
If you look beyond the buildings, you will notice palm groves, which were really areas around the town where the citizens over time, dug water canals to irrigate and enrich the soil into arable land.
I think this can be an example how humans can manipulate atopic factors to change the ecosystem of an area. (biome)
Anyways, during my rotation at this combat outpost, the only thing available to eat that wasn't an MRE were blueberry pop tarts and otis spunkmeyer muffins. As you can imagine, if I even smell either one of those things, I get nauseous.
On an interesting note, I was part of a Personal Security Detail for our commander and had the opportunity to feast on a goat which they slaughtered and prepared for us on our visit. I believe it was about a kilometer beyond the brick building in the picture and I should mention although it may be 115 degrees Fahrenheit on that rooftop, its is like 125 degrees and 100% humidity inside those palm groves.
Most iraqis in this area sustain themselves daily with a tea and a flatbread they make in mud ovens outside their homes. They may have some old tomatoes and cucumbers with that. Rarely did they eat meats or poultry, not too mention, their water source is rancid and army protocol was if you fell in the canal or sewage areas, a visit to the medical clinic was a must.
