My first successful attempt to build my own little radio station =)
I used a square wave generator module to produce the carrier wave and modulated it with a simple normal transistor (Circuit diagram will follow though!)
The signal can be received from a distance of one meter with the small antenna, and more than 15 meters (I havent found out the actual range yet, but the radio in our garage receives it quite well =) ) with a very long wire i found laying around in my room.
The experiment is part of our radio station project at school.

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

12 Interlocking Irregular Hyperboloidal Dodecahedra 360 units
2-fold view.
Following an initial prototype with only a singular unit type which attempted a hexahedral symmetry analog of 30 Dodecahedra, I developed this more nuanced version, which has a different exterior weaving pattern and multiple paper proportions. However, as a constraint, I attempted to use only one pocket type for all of the units. This makes some vertices different than others in terms of the dihedral angles of the surrounding units, but the edges shafts are long enough to accommodate modulation between vertices without appreciable difficulty in most cases. This is constructed via scaffolding so that each dodecahedron represents one edge of a cube. The resulting compound is at the time of writing this, the largest interlocking origami cubic symmetry wireframe compound by unit count that I know of.
Designed by me.

One of the most known fountains of Heraklion, point of reference for its inhabitants, but also for the visitors.
Today it is one of the most beautiful monuments of the city situated at the center of the most busy square - Eleftherios Venizelos sq. - of the town
The Venetian General Provisioner of Candia (Crete and Iraklion in Venetian times) Francesco Morosini ordered and supervised its construction in 1628. He managed to bring water from the Archanes' springs to the thirsty town of Heraklion through a complicated - for that period - system of pipelines and channels.
The eight-lobe cistern, which is based on a special stand, is decorated with embossed mythological depictions and maritime figures like tritons, dolphins and various coats of arms, while the water was flowing from the mouths of four lions. At the very top of the fountain there was a supernatural statue of Poseidon that was standing out but fell probably due to an earthquake.
During the Turkish period the fountain went into a vulgar modulation with the addition of a baldachin (ciborium) around it which was later taken away.
Morosini, on the occasion of the inauguration coined a special medal with his figure from one side and the fountain on the other.
i like that this one has a simplicity that some of the others do not.
the pure black and greyish base make the colours pop more than on the other images which are more beige/brown and blue/black base.
After almost eighteen years of deceptive silence, Brazen is back with Distance, an ambitious indie-rock epic where melancholic modulations and vocal harmonies intertwine on a soaring instrumental carpet. The eight tracks that make up the album are characterised by refined songwriting, carried by an epic breath that makes each track a journey in its own right. Composed, arranged and recorded remotely between London and Geneva over the course of almost a decade, the album is as musically polished as it is rich in narrative twists. The meticulous care taken in its conception gives it a timeless character that in no way detracts from its emotional intensity.

BNSF has been installing these trackside units system-wide for some time. They all have this very long low band antenna. It appears that they transmit nationwide on the frequency 44.58 MHz and use 20K0F1D digital modulation. They apparently are used to forward detector info to an off site receiver and possibly into the train itself as part of the PTC system. I have heard that they are connected to a switch status monitoring device but also may relay info from other wayside detectors such as hot box, dragging equipment, and so on. I believe the radios are made by MeteorComm and the antennas are made by Morad. The tall tower in the background is one of the 4 towers for the AM station on 670 kHz in the Denver area.
Designed by Robert Moog in 1970, the Minimoog Model D synthesizer is still regarded as the Rolls Royce equivalent for analog keyboard-based synthesizers. Specifically designed for touring musicians, the minimoog exported electronic music experiments from university labs out to the masses - and her deep farting bass-sounds (think of Kraftwerk's Autobahn), lead and space bleeps and sweeps have become HUGELY popular over the last 38 years.
There were originally 13,000 minimoogs produced between 1970 and 1981. After a brief hiatus during the digital-synth craze in the 1980s, the minimoog enjoyed a resurgence of interest among musicians since the 1990s...and yes, it's becoming harder to get a hold on one.
I obtained this Mini from a studio garage sale back in 1989 for US$ 150 (in prime condition - save the crackling external input knob). After lying dormant for 7 years now, it's time to bring life back into this 1973 model D mini. Tropical humidity heavily damaged the furnishing. It needs re-tuning of the oscillators, cleaning of the electronic board, new switches for filter modulation, and thinking about a new base panel.

Ma. Victoria Herrera, Clarissa Chikiamco, Cid Reyes, Rod. Paras-Perez, The Life and Art of Lee Aguinaldo, 2011, p. 118
Lee Aguinaldo was a seminal figure in the development of Philippine abstract art in the 20th century. His contributions to the field of minimalism and geometric abstraction are particularly noteworthy, especially with his widely-acclaimed Circulation series. Aguinaldo's innovative approach to reductive art is apparent in these series, particularly in the way he played with gradients, symmetry, and hues to create finely tuned compositions.
The works from the Circulation series are characterized by their adherence to strict geometric shapes and the use of a limited color palette. Here, Aguinaldo explored the possibilities of abstraction and minimalism, creating compositions that were at once strikingly simple and endlessly complex. Aguinaldo's work was marked by his masterful use of color and form, which he used to create a sense of harmony and balance in his compositions.
Green Circulation #9 is a prime example. The piece adheres to the series' signature square frame, which is complemented by two broad vertical bands on either side and a central pane filled with gradated fields of hyper-modulated colors of green and blue. The central pane, in particular, is a tour-de-force of color modulation, as the colors blend seamlessly, creating an otherworldly effect that is simultaneously soothing and mesmerizing.
Aguinaldo's virtuosic brushwork is on full display in this piece, attuned to the modulation of light and hues. He used a series of meticulously applied brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and depth, giving the piece a three-dimensional quality that is rare in abstract art. The result is a work that is both calming and engaging, drawing the viewer in and holding their attention.

Description of work: Renaissance Hotels tasked architect Jose R. Marchand and interior designer Jorge Rossello with renovating and saving this beachside landmark. "[B]y the mid-1990s the venerable La Concha hotel had been shuttered, abandoned and left to rot...Originally designed by Osvaldo Toro and Miguel Ferrer, with an eccentric but utterly loveable seashell-shaped restaurant by Mario Salvatori [sic], La Concha was a beautifully massed, expertly sited, vividly inventive building perfectly in sync with its time. Closely attuning the hotel to its sun-swept setting, the architects created deep-shading overhangs, open corridors, windows and doors that gave onto lush interior courtyards and provided cross ventilation, and beautifully lacy quiebra-sol (their take on a brise-soleil) for further modulation of the light and heat" (Frank, Michael. "La Concha Revival". Architectural Digest. Aug 2009, p. 103-104. Print).

Sneak in a discussion topic! - (This is a fake add, for you caption readers). I want to tell you about an exciting new technology I just came across this morning and had to put in this presentation. Virtual Worlds are growing in interest, but for those involved, you know that the requirements of high end PCs and fast networks are limiting factors. Skyworlds is going to change all of that. Through a revolutionary development in fractal frequency modulation and S2 scalable data store housing, you will be able to move seamlessly between virtial worlds on a PC and on any mobile device.
Okay- let’s say this has just come across your attention screen. How to do react to a new technology? What do you do? What is your approach?
My 1/35 scale AFV Club Stryker M1126 8X8 infantry combat vehicle is done! Much to my surprise, this kit went together with only a couple minimal fit issues, self induced! I had expected it to be a bit on the iffy side as the kit has been in my stash for many years now, and older kits tend to be less engineered than recent ones, but it turned out to be an enjoyable build.
I decided to to it as a vehicle that has been in the field for a while during the summer, perhaps on maneuvers in a training facility, so the weathering is not that heavy. I did use burnt sienna oils with mineral spirits (my first use of this thinner with oils as I usually use the less odorous Turpenol) to do some of the filtering and dirtying but the majority of the modulation is done using the usual black undercoat with white accent under main color coat method.
I also used a very light coat of Tamiya buff thinned way down and sprayed on at a foot or so from the model to create a light dusty look as well. That especially worked well on the tires, which are vinyl mounted to plastic hubs (really nicely detailed tires I might add). I did do some panel accenting with Tamiya Black Panel Liner around the raised hull elements. I sanded the tire treads to make them look worn which really brought out that detail, in my opinion.
The decals went on quite easily and released from their carrier sheet with little to no time needed, not like the previous couple of kits i have worked on…a very delightful development! I did use the Micro Set and Sol method to embed them, but the vehicle numbers all silvered on me (think I should have used more gloss under them to relieve this issue). I am still ok with that as you can always weather to compensate after the fact. Prior to weathering, everything was clear coated with Testor’s Dull Coat…still my favorite flat coat.
For once I have few criticisms of the kit and am delighted to add it to my ever growing shelf of diverse armor builds. Definitely a fun build!

Phonics teaches children how to decode letters in their respective sounds. This skill is essential for them to read unfamiliar words on their own. Having letter-sound knowledge allows them to link unknown words to their vocalised knowledge. Our reading class encourages students to take part in oral language activities that concentrate on concept and vocabulary development. Children hear good stories, letter recognition and spelling activities by taking part in phonics. Storytelling can be used as a method to teach ethics, values, cultural norms, differences and learning morals via different stories. It is the oldest form of teaching; it creates magic and sense of wonder; it is a unique way for kids to develop an understanding; it is also a great way to improve child’s oral fluency and help them understand concepts. Children had fun learning by sound and voice modulation done by teachers, which made it more interesting, interactive, and understandable to our little pre-schoolers. Different ways of reading activities improve reading skills like fluency, vocabulary, sentence construction, reasoning, and builds general knowledge, increases working memory and attention and allows to promote their reading skills while having fun at the same time.

The Palatine Chapel, is the royal chapel of the Norman kings of Sicily situated on the first floor at the center of the Palazzo Reale in Palermo, southern Italy.
Commissioned by Roger II of Sicily in 1132 and built upon an older chapel (now the crypt) constructed around 1080.
The mosaics being only partially finished by 1143.
The sanctuary, dedicated to Saint Peter, is reminiscent of a domed basilica. It has three apses, as is usual in Byzantine architecture, with six pointed arches (three on each side of the central nave) resting on recycled classical columns.
The mosaics of the Palatine Chapel are of unparalleled elegance as concerns elongated proportions and streaming draperies of figures. They are also noted for subtle modulations of colour and luminance. The oldest are probably those covering the ceiling, the drum, and the dome. The shimmering mosaics of the transept, presumably dating from the 1140s and attributed to Byzantine artists, with an illustrated scene, along the north wall, of St. John in the desert and a landscape of Agnus Dei.
Below this are five saints, the Greek fathers of the church, St. Gregory of Nissa, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Basil, St. John Chrysostom and St. Nicholas.
The three central figures, St. Gregory, St. Basil, St. John Chrysostom, allude to the Orthodox cult known as the Three Hierarchs, which originated fifty years earlier.
Roger II of Sicily depicted on the muqarnas ceiling in an Arabic style.
The rest of the mosaics, dated to the 1160s or the 1170s, is executed in a cruder manner and feature Latin (rather than Greek) inscriptions. Probably a work of local craftsmen, these pieces are more narrative and illustrative than transcendental.
The chapel combines harmoniously a variety of styles: the Norman architecture and door decor, the Arabic arches and script adorning the roof, the Byzantine dome and mosaics. For instance, clusters of four eight-pointed stars, typical for Muslim design, are arranged on the ceiling so as to form a Christian cross.
Muqarnas ceiling
The hundreds of facets were painted, notably with many purely ornamental vegetal and zoomorphic designs but also with scenes of daily life and many subjects that have not yet been explained. Stylistically influenced by Iraqi 'Abbasid art, these paintings are innovative in their more spatially aware representation of personages and of animals.
The chapel has been considered a union of a Byzantine church sanctuary and a Western basilica nave.
The sanctuary, is of an "Eastern" artistic nature, while the nave reflects "Western" influences.
Nave
The nave, constructed under Roger II, did not contain any Christian images.
These were added later by Roger II's successors, William I and William II.
The nave's ceiling consists of Greek, Latin and inscriptions.
The frame for the royal throne sets against the west wall of the nave.
There are six steps leading up to where the throne would be, along with two heraldic lions in two roundels upon the spandrels over the throne frame gabel.
Sanctuary
As an expression of Norman culture, St. Dionysius and St. Martin are represented in the sanctuary.
Mosaics are of Byzantine culture in their composition and subjects.
The apex of the dome consists of the Pantokrator, with rows of angels, prophets, evangelists and saints.
The Byzantine motif ends abruptly with scenes from Christ's life along the south wall of the southern transept arm, while the north wall consists of warrior saints

With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

ASYNCHRONOUS WIRELESS DATA LINK
There are some situations where the data from different sensors is to be monitored and transmitted to monitoring device or a PC. While at some environments the wire
can not be run from the sensor to the monitoring device. In these situations wireless transmissions would be more beneficial. Most of the sensor units need a less amount of data furthermore, transmitted baud rate required is also slow. Since this seems to be a simple data link the efficient alternative is ‘WIRELESS ASYNCHRONOUS DATA LINK’(LOW SPEED). Not only the above industrial application but also the same idea can be implemented for point to point connection of computers in a
workplace or building. This project is expected to yield a Schmart PCB module; which would find applications in many areas. The goal of the project design is simple and easy to implement. Asynchronous
communication and RS232,--- ; since RS232 Interface is widely used and easily compatible /programmable with data terminal equipment, it’s been chosen the RS232 interface for the serial communication of data between DTE and DCE. The signals emanating from the RS232 have been conditioned by Encoder; Then after it needs to be fed to the UHF Transmitter on a single chip. Transmitter employs ASK Modulation and the frequency for transmission is 433.92MHz.
