There has to be an experiment going on that they forgot to tell us about. Some test that we're unaware of but are supposed to pass. In the last year we've had a professional football team go winless, a mayor removed from office, our largest industry on life support and needing a government bailout, houses reduced to selling for 1 penny, Tiger Stadium was finally destroyed, the number of abandoned houses approached 100,000, unemployment was between 18 and 50% depending on who's statistics you looked at, a staggering estimated 30,000 homeless people ( determined by the post office ) , and Detroit's population decreased for the 52nd year in a row. Surely this is a bad joke, right?
Late teenaged girl detained as part of a residential psychology experiment having been fooled into volunteering by her scheming stepmother and legal guardian - artwork by Angela Fox, inspired by a tale written by Garth Toyntanen (INSTITUTIONALISED volume 3) toyntanen.blogspot.co.uk/

This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.
The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)
Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.

18 Watt Triple Output UV lamp from Polman Minerals - Way Too Cool UV lamps
Not my usual, I really do perfer taking pictures of pretty things. But I noticed this tiny ray of light across the studio floor and thought to myself what could I do with that tiny little ray of light and this is what I came up with... and I was just having a bit of fun with textures today!!! Off to watch some hockey be back later tonight to check up on all your amazing work!!
i am experimenting with a certain style of sbl mouth, after i fell in love with a YJ custom,....well, it isn't exactly what i wanted, though i am more or less happy with the results.
Still deciding about this girl's future (initially, my own sbl)
Loaded ~20 images into photo stack in Photoshop to make this.
30 second exposure, F11, 1600-3200 ISO.
I may experiment with lower F-Stops and shorter exposures + lower ISO. Not entirely pleased with how this came out.
CC: And you are sure this is going to work Doctor?...
Doctor: With this serum injected in his bloodstream, Flint will be at your command . He will be a killing machine with total loyalty to Cobra. We can't use him as a spy, his mind will have deteriorated like the Toxo-Zombies, but he can be used as a decal. The Joes will be ripped to shreds before they realise what a monster their former field commander has become....
CC: excellent work Doctor. If this experiment proves succesfull, we'll supply you with more specimens...
From the very beginning of British motor buses, the method for a passenger to board a double deck bus was (almost always) the same: hop on or off an open rear platform. This was convenient to jump on or off, and cheap and easy to build. But platform accidents were frequent, and also a lot of heat was lost through the open doorway making the bus cold in winter.
In 1949, Manchester Corporation experimented with fitting an electrically-operated door to a few new buses including number 2157 here. The conductor operated these doors and they probably made 2157 safer and warmer compared to its fellows. But the time to open and close the doors at each stop slowed it down, and we suspect also that the conductor regarded the need to be on the platform as a chore. So not long after delivery these buses found themselves not on the busy 92 service, but in quieter backwaters where their slower loading wasn't such a problem.
Eventually, the new generation of rear-engined buses with front entrances made power doors essential. But rear-loader buses with doors remained rare, and Manchester never bought any more after this experiment.
The Museum of Transport Greater Manchester has a very similar bus to this one - but without the doors. 2150 was delivered just in time to help replace the last Manchester trams, and today it's on display at the Museum.

Just me, a little self portrait using my ring light in a different manner. Also had a flash hooked up to give it that extra oomph. Not bad to say I only had about 6 feet of space to get this.
The Proton Pagoda at Fermilab. Stacked from 101 20 second images
Opened in 1976, The proton Pagoda housed a control room for overseeing experiments in the Proton area.
The double helix staircase in the center of the structure was inspired by the structure of DNA.
LOTS more on the history of the Pagoda and the Proton Area on the Fermilab site.
Today I experimented a combination of things... This little bird was the result.
I used watercolors, white acrylic ink and carbon ink in a mixture of "styles"
Une nouvelle façon de faire pousser des muscles (à défaut de pousser la fonte ️). L’expérience Cardinal Muscle est arrivée avec le cargo Cygnus. Elle sert à étudier comment le tissu musculaire artificiel se forme dans l'espace, et à mieux comprendre pourquoi la masse musculaire diminue avec l’âge . Saviez-vous qu’on en pert environ 30% entre 20 et 80 ans ? Le corps des astronautes subit une perte similaire lors d’une séjour dans l’espace, mais beaucoup plus rapidement. C’est entre autres pour ralentir le processus qu’on fait 2h de sport par jour... Et c’est pour cette même raison que la Station spatiale internationale est un des laboratoires les plus indiqués pour développer de nouveaux médicaments contre ce phénomène 💪💪

A new way to build muscle ️ or a very cool flex. The Cardinal Muscle experiment arrived with Cygnus to study how engineered muscle tissue forms in space and help us better understand age-related muscle loss known as sarcopenia. #DYK between ages 20-80 we all lose around 30% of our muscle mass? Astronauts experience a similar but accelerated process in space, which is why you see us hitting the gym for two hours a day up here. It's also why the International Space Station is a good place to test new drugs that could help slow down this process 💪💪

Experiments in crochet, using the fibonacci sequence as a base for the patterns.., please let me know what you think
Image 2 of 4. These are acrylic beads, the kind used in aquariums and such. The four scenes are positioned exactly the same. I merely changed the lighting. You can see how different the view and details revealed by the changes. Random Stuff 039
I juiced up a bunch of fruit this last weekend and thought the foam looked really interesting. Under a zoom lens it looks like a crazy science experiment.
