Since everything under the sun has not only been done, it’s been written about, critiqued, criticized, replicated, duplicated, bought, sold and stolen, I thought it appropriate to appropriate an example of everything. Well, almost everything. Contained in the book by Erika Doss, Twentieth Century American Art is a comprehensive survey of the progression of American Art; the causes and effects of art in the U.S. since 1893. It’s all there in a handy paperback – the rise of America as the new epicenter of fine art, and why it happened. I’ve also created a response to the response that art has become – the voice of dissent, assent, descent, ascent, ancestry. Like a beetle in amber, I’ve encapsulated Doss’ 20th Century American Art. Encapsulated Book: Geode Slices and a Stand is more about the perception of art, the [gap] between the intention and the realization of art.
Taking Erika Doss’ Twentieth Century American Art and rewriting it, by hand, with graphite and black ink on black paper, opened like a fan, and encasing two thirds of the book in resin, I intended to appropriate, preserve, and present the fraction of permanence that art may possess and to illustrate the Duchampian ‘gap’, allowing the viewer to ‘create’ the art experience between the effort of the artist’s intention and the artist’s realization. Samsara and nirvana are one; there is no clear demarcation between reality and illusion.
The pages, from the perspective of the viewer, are rough, hand-rendered copy of the plates Doss used in her book. Anyone, including Erika Doss, who read her book would recognize the images. The text, also, could be recognized as the text used as image notes in Doss’ book, however difficult it may be to actually read. From the perspective of the viewer, the book, with only a fraction of the content actually visible to the naked eye is nearly impossible to see. Perhaps, in the right light, at the right angle, the viewer might be able to make out a part of a sketch of Andy Warhol’s Twenty Five Marylins, but only maybe.
Defined by tradition, this work of art is in the Kantian sense, aesthetically indefinable. In the Greenbergian sense, it is a work of non-art. An object like a chair, a blank canvas, my encapsulated book is a non-self-critical piece of postmodern art that says what already has been said. Each leaf a sketch of a painting, mural or sculpture already taking space in the art continuum; already recognized as art by other viewers, reiterated for the sake of art; the making of the making.

Kent Leach, an associate professor in the UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering, is interested in the development of pharmacologic formulations that can assist in the treatment of heart attack and stroke. Encapsulation of clot-busting drugs in a variety of vehicles has previously demonstrated significant improvement over clinically used treatment options. Leach develops new techniques to deliver these drugs which may result in viable treatment alternatives. His research in the laboratory is highly interdisciplinary, employing methods in synthetic chemistry, cellular and molecular biology, materials characterization, drug delivery and gene therapy, and in vivo imaging.

like a little hug of memories rapped around your neck
i thought some of you more crafty people would enjoy seeing these little treasures i made for my family. you can make one too they sell the Martha Stewart kit at Michaels Craft store. It comes with a crappy cord necklace so I decided to get my own silver findings and semi precious stones to jazz them up.
i gave them out last weekend at a pre- early thanksgiving celebration and my family went nuts ... i will be high on all the love for weeks.
happy thanksgiving to you and yours.
The Stanley B-58 Encapsulated Seat was an advanced crew protection system designed for very high windblast ejections. The concept was to completely protect the crewman against all environmental issues including depressurization and windblast as well as provide an excellent source of survival gear and even shelter. This was accomplished by means of a clamshell-like cover mounted over a relatively simple seat. Between the seat and the aft bulkhead of the capsule were mounted several packages of survival gear and radio equipment.
The capsule was designed to be decellerated and controlled on initial ejection by a drogue parachute and set of finned arms that were folded down along the sides of the back of the capsule. The picture above shows the fins at the base of the rear of the closed capsule. This particular example is the pilot's version as shown by the larger window and the square plate in the bottom of the capsule (visible in some of the open pictures.) This square plate covers the opening where the control stick of the aircraft would be mounted. This stick had a control for retarding the throttle to aid in descending to an altitude where the capsule could be re-opened in the case of an encapsulation due to depressurization.
This particular example has the leg retractor/lifter system in a retracted position. The arms are secured in this mode. Encapsulation was initiated by raising one of the armrest trigger systems. This would cause a gas system to raise the leg lifters and simultaneously the mechanism would retract the two arms with the red covers on them. These arms would strike the shin/ankle area and push them into the capsule. The clamshell would then descend to the full closed position and the seal would inflate. the capsule would then be pressurized.
Squeezing the triggers would continue the ejection procedure, first jettisoning the overhead hatch, and then firing the seat mounted rocket catapult. These capsules were independant of each other in all aspects. Any crewman could encapsulate and eject themselves. There was not sequence system so the pilot would normally call for the crew to eject in order from back to front with the pilot ejecting last.
As previously mentioned, the drogue would be deployed after ejection. This would extend the linked arms to the extended position and the capsule would be slowed to a safe speed for main parachute deployment. The 70 foot diameter recovery parachute was packed in a container under the module. Also under the container was a large 'airbag' for further impact attenuation. The entire module weighed on the order of 500lbs.
The crewman also had the ability to manually deploy the parachute if he felt the automatic systems had failed. This was done by actuating a small handle to the left of the headrest. Next to that handle was another handle for cutting the parachute risers after landing to prevent being dragged.
In case of water landing, the capsule was designed to float on its back. The small yellow circles seen on the sides of the capsule contain telescoping rods with inflatable bags to assist in floatation and stability. The crewman was to cut the seal on the central panel of the shell and slide it open to be able to float in relative comfort.
The encapsulated Pioneer Venus-A spacecraft was lifted for mating with its Atlas Centaur launch vehicle at Complex 36, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, today. Scheduled for launch on May 20, the spacecraft will fly on a trajectory to Venus where it will be placed in orbit on December 4. Pioneer Venus-A, to be renamed Pioneer Venus-1 following launch, is one of two NASA scientific spacecraft to be launched to Venus in 1978 for study of the planet's atmosphere. Pioneer Venus-B, a multi-probe spacecraft, is scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral on August 7.

Attachment theory describes several behavioural systems, the function of which is to regulate human attachment, fear, exploration, care-giving, peer-affiliation and sex. Attachment is defined as any form of behaviour that results in a person attaining and retaining proximity to a differentiated other. The primary caregiver is the source of the infants stress regulation and, therefore, sense of safety and security. Attachment theory emphasises the role of the parent as mediator, reflector and moderator of the childs mind and the childs reliance on the parent to respond to their affective states in ways that are contingent to their internal experience, a process often referred to as secure base/safe haven functioning. Within the close parent-child relationship neural networks dedicated to feelings of safety and danger, attachment and the core sense of self are sculpted and shaped. These networks are conceptualised as internal working models of attachment.
Characteristic patterns of interaction operating within the familys caregiving-attachment system give rise to secure, insecure and disorganized patterns of attachment. These discrete patterns have been categorized using the Strange Situation research procedure, which observes the young childs behaviour when separated and reunited with his or her primary caregiver. Attachment patterns are represented in the childs internal working models of self-other relationships. Secure attachment is promoted by the interactive regulation of affect, which facilitates the recognition, labelling and evaluation of emotional and intentional states in the self and in others, a capacity known as reflective function or mentalization. The recognition of affects as having dynamic, transactional properties is the key to understanding behaviour in oneself and in another. The child comes to recognize his or her mental states as meaningful self-states via a process of parental affect mirroring and marking. Secure children are able to use sophisticated cognitive strategies to integrate and resolve their fear of separation and loss.
When the parent is unavailable, inconsistent or unpredictable, the infant develops one of two organized insecure patterns of attachment: avoidant or ambivalent-resistant. These defensive strategies involve either the deactivation or hyper-activation of the attachment system. Deactivation is characterized by avoidance of the caregiver and by emotional detachment. In effect, the avoidant child immobilizes the attachment system by excluding thoughts and feelings that normally activate the system. Hyper-activation is manifested by an enmeshed ambivalent preoccupation with the caregiver and with negative emotions, particularly anger. However, in common with the avoidant child, the ambivalent child appears to cognitively disconnect feelings from the situation that elicited the distress. Disorganised-disoriented attachment is discussed below.
Attachment research, then, demonstrates that discrete patterns of secure, insecure, and disorganized attachment have as their precursor a specific pattern of caregiver-infant interaction and their own behavioural sequelae. Repeated patterns of interpersonal experience are encoded in implicit-procedural memory and conceptualized as self-other working models of attachment. These mental models consist of generalized beliefs and expectations about relationships between the self and key attachment figures, not the least of which concerns ones worthiness to receive love and care from others.
In sum, the care-giving environment generally, and the infant-caregiver attachment relationship particularly, initiate the child along one of an array of potential developmental pathways. Disturbance of attachment is the outcome of a series of deviations that take the child increasingly further from adaptive functioning. Child abuse and cumulative developmental trauma violate the childs sense of trust, identity and agency and have pernicious and seminal influences on the developing personality. In essence, internal working models of early attachment relationships provide the templates for psychopathology in later life, which may include violent, destructive and self-destructive forms of behaviour. In attachment theory, the main purpose of defence is the regulation of emotions. The primary mechanisms for achieving this are distance regulation and the defensive exclusion of thoughts and feelings associated with attachment trauma.
Early trauma in the form of abuse, loss, neglect and severe parent-child misattunement compromises brain-mediated functions such as attachment, empathy and affect regulation. From an attachment theory perspective, patterns of attachment are encoded and stored as generalized relational patterns in the systems of implicit memory. These are conceptualized as cognitive-affective internal working models which are seen as mediating how we think and feel about ourselves, others and the relationships we develop. Although open to change and modification in the light of new attachment experiences, whether positive or negative, these non-conscious procedural models, scripts or schemas within which early stress and trauma are retained, tend to persevere and guide, appraise and predict attachment-related thoughts, feelings and behaviours throughout the life cycle via the implicit memory system. Psychopathology is seen as deriving from an accumulation of maladaptive interactional patterns that result in character traits and personality types and disorders.
Disorganised attachment may occur when the childs parent is both the source of fear and the only protective figure to whom to turn to resolve stress and anxiety. In such instances, neither proximity seeking nor proximity avoiding is a solution to the activation of the childs attachment and fear behavioural systems. If the trauma remains unresolved and is carried into adulthood, it leaves the individual vulnerable to affect dysregulation in interpersonal conflict situations that induce fear, hate, shame and rage. In such cases, alcohol and illicit drugs are often resorted to as a maladaptive means of suppressing dreaded psychobiological states and restoring a semblance of affective equilibrium.
Findings show that disorganised attachment developed in infancy shifts to controlling behaviour in the older child and adult, reflecting an internalized mental model of the self as unlovable, unworthy of care and support, and fearful of rejection, betrayal and abandonment. Disorganised attachment is associated with a predisposition to relational violence, to dissociative states and conduct disorders in children and adolescents, and to personality disorders in adults. This state of mind constitutes a primary risk factor for the development of borderline, anti-social and sociopathic personality disorders. The rate of such disorders in forensic settings is particularly high. Clinically, dissociated traumatic experience is unsymbolized by thought and language, being encapsulated within the personality as a separate, non-reflective reality which is cut off from authentic human relatedness. The information contained in implicit memory may be retrieved by state-dependent moods and situations. Dissociated archaic internal working models are then activated, influencing and distorting expectations of current events and relationships outside of conscious awareness, particularly in situations involving intense interpersonal stress. In such situations, the self is felt to be endangered, thereby increasing the risk of an angry and potentially violent reaction.

A perfect encapsulation of Hertzberger's approach. The balconies overlap each other in plan, so that everybody gets some amount of balcony that's sheltered overhead, and some amount that's effectively open to the sky. This has sociological implications; there's a part of the balcony where you can see and be seen by your neighbors, and a part where you can hang out outside and not be bothered. The sense of privacy and enclosure in the latter zone is enhanced by the column, whose footprint is outside the balcony itself so as not to take up useful space. (As Seier points out, Hertzberger acknowledges borrowing this last detail from Hugo Häring.) Quite a lot of complexity - meaningful complexity - out of a relatively small set of moves.

"The car’s name encapsulates the true significance of all that has been achieved in terms of performance. The reference to the 90th anniversary of the foundation of Scuderia Ferrari underscores the strong link that has always existed between Ferrari’s track and road cars. A brilliant encapsulation of the most advanced technologies developed in Maranello, the SF90 Stradale is also the perfect demonstration of how Ferrari immediately transitions the knowledge and skills it acquires in competition to its production cars..."

Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, encapsulating the South Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million km2 (5.4 million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. For comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages at least 1 mile (1.6 km) in thickness.

Yes, tame kangaroos and sheep: that encapsulates 'Australasia' from the viewpoint of Victorian London. I'm not sure shepherdesses in diaphanous robes would last long against the arachnids, reptiles and deserts of the Australian bush, and sandals are no more sensible in New Zealand's pastures than in Britain's.
Amongst the 800+ buildings designed or altered by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the FCO Main Building, now Grade I Listed, is considered one of the highlights. Scott had considered a clean, Gothic design, but Lord Palmerston, then Prime Minister, demanded a rethink: this heavy Italianate (Venetian-Genoese) decoration, featuring allegorical figures by Henry Hugh Armstead RA (and J. Birnie Philip, though 'The Continents' were by Armstead), was the result. Designed in 1861 and built by 1868, it originally accommodated four government departments: the Foreign and India Offices on the western side overlooking St James' Park, and the Home and Colonial Offices here on Whitehall. The vast building forms the south side of Downing Street, and is seen worldwide each year as the backdrop of the Remembrance ceremony at The Cenotaph.

Originating from the pre-Columbian 'Early Classic Period', dated circa 300–600AD, this antique jar encapsulates (pun intended) the form of a Maya person. As can be seen from the side, it's round, plump shape illustrates the skillfully crafting – made from hihgly-polished (burnished) ceramic. For the frontal view, please see, Flickr's Maya: Effigy Jar (Front).
This Mayan jar actually comes in two parts – the top lid, ending at the waist, and the bottom. To see it when it's open, please view the Merrin Gallery's video on YouTube.
For more information and a more detailed account, view the Maya jar at Samuel's gallery.

Original caption: Inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Mars 2020 logo is installed on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V payload fairing on June 18, 2020. Secured inside the fairing is the agency’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover. The rover is scheduled to launch on July 20, 2020, atop the Atlas V 541 rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The rover is part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the Red Planet. The rover’s seven instruments will search for habitable conditions in the ancient past and signs of past microbial life on Mars. The Launch Services Program at Kennedy is responsible for launch management.
