It was crowded and therefore somewhat difficult to get a picture of all of our bots working at once.
From front to back:
* Baltimore Node's Cupcake CNC
* Marty McGuire's Cupcake CNC w/ MK6 Stepstruder and heated build platform
* Amy Hurst's Thing-O-Matic with silver PLA.
We took a string of Christmas lights and started to swing it around! The picture was taken with an exposure time of 1 second.
This is one of the modes of vibration of the string ("mode of vibration" just means style or way of vibrating). What other modes are possible on a string fixed at both ends?

Academic staff of three Schools of the University have been working together to assist
a Hunter Valley school in its efforts to establish a 'Health Promoting School'.
The Schools of Health, Medicine and Education have been working co-operatively to help Kurri Kurri Public School develop approaches to creating a greater awareness of health issues, particularly of heart health through an innovative curriculum for Year 6 school students.
The initiative is in response to parent requests for health education programs to be conducted in conjunction with the curriculum and are to be linked with the school canteen in an effort to provide healthier food choices. Local community groups are offering their support of the program. A $500 donation for development has been provided by the Alcan Aluminium Smelter.
The program was launched recently by the Mayor of Cessnock, Alderman Maree Callaghan. Support for the program was provided by the University's Department of Health and Physical Education. Students John Russell, a member of the Newcastle
Breakers Soccer Team; Jane Nixon, under 21 Hockey Representative and Mark Curry, Australian Country Cricket Representative, provided examples of games which are fun to play and which form a basis for a healthy lifestyle.
The program is currently being evaluated, with pre-testing underway at Kurri Kurri public School. A control is being conducted at Telarah Public School. The Department of Health and Physical Education is coordinating the health related fitness testing which is being supervised by lecturer, Dr Ashley Woodcock. Student attitudes to health and their self-reported behaviours are being measured by a questionnaire developed by Dr Ron Plotnikoff from the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics within the School of Medicine. Gains in knowledge are being monitored by Mr Phil Williams from the Department of Holistic Health. Phil, who is co-ordinating the University involvement, says that community involvement in the program is high. He says that the Coalfields Healthy Heartbeat Project and the Newcastle Branch of the Heart Foundation are working together to provide a range of programs which have been requested by parenrts of Year 6
students.
"These range from courses which provide skills for selecting and preparing low fat foods, exercise and stop smoking programs," Phil says. "I believe the co-operation and participation by Kurri Kurri Public School, the local community and the University Schools of Health, Medicine and Education is unique. Even though the project is still
in its pilot phase, I anticipate that the ideas and principles generated will be disseminated to other schools in the area: he says.

I saw that girl standing still in the middle of dancing crowd and I made this shot, knowing that I was there just for this one picture.

Preliminary Report on Unidentified Object 92002, "The Chiron Derelict"
Discovered by a robot probe exploring the minor planet 2060 Chiron, object 92002 appears to be nothing less than an interstellar spacecraft of nonhuman origin.
The relevant probe imagery was suppressed, and an unprecedented manned exploration mission was dispatched to investigate the artifact.
Adrift, apparently long abandoned, the vessel is nonetheless far from lifeless. Indeed, the ship itself is alive. It shows every indication of being a complex colony organism composed of many disparate subunits, which the exploration team calls "nodes".
This appears to be no natural space-going lifeform, but a deliberately assembled combination of biomechanoid modules. Most of the nodes are so completely self-contained, so tightly specialized, and so efficient at their functions, that they must have been genetically engineered with near godlike skill.
For example, this power-generating node was extracted from the derelict's outer surface. It is plant-like, photosynthesizing sunlight of almost any wavelength. The black chemistry of this process is far more efficient than Earth's green chlorophyll. The plant's waste products are digested by a symbiotic fungal matrix below it, which in turn emits a chemiluminescent glow...which is absorbed again by the power plant's ventral surfaces. Thus the loop is closed and the plant generates electrochemical energy for the colony-spacecraft with near perfect efficiency.
The unexpected discovery of such an advanced alien artifact so close to Earth is alarming, and the apparent abandonment of the vessel by its presumed crew is hardly reassuring. If they - whoever they are - are not still on board...where did they go?
This is an illuminated alien/organic greeble study for Greeble De Mayo 2015, Week Three.
Preliminary Report on Unidentified Object 92002, "The Chiron Derelict"
I created a video to demonstrate the (hand-cranked) flickering backlight of the Neuronal Node. (This is the Director's Cut - if you saw the video when I posted earlier pictures, the music is better now and the whole thing has been reworked. The video is over on YouTube, because Flickr's video player doesn't seem to work very well.) Enjoy!

This "neuronal" node appears to be a small-scale neural network, equivalent in decision-making power to perhaps a few dozen biological neurons. These nodes - many thousands of them, no two exactly alike - are part of a larger apparent network that covers the derelict's surface in complex stripes and webs, integrating other types of nodes at times.
Many of the derelict's neuronal nodes seem to be still active, even when excised and placed in shielded storage. There are dark patches, but it would be prudent to assume that the derelict as a whole may be, even now, intelligent and aware.

Introduced, warm-season, annual, tufted grass to 60 cm tall; nodes sometimes have a brown ring of glands below them. Leaves are hairless, with rigid 2-3 mm long hairs either side of the ligule. Flowerheads are contracted panicles at first, becoming open at maturity (8-24 cm long). A native of Europe, it is a weed of disturbed areas of agriculture and habitation (e.g. crops, sown pastures, gardens, roadsides and waste areas).
Generally a nuisance weed, but can be competitive at times in newly sown pastures and crops. Prevention of seeding for 2-3 years eliminates the seedbank. Controls can include: heavy grazing when young, slashing at flowering, grazing and fertility management to increase the density and competitiveness of pastures, hand removal and the use of registered herbicides.
System status of a scanning node within a cluster, Baruwa 2.0 can manage a cluster of scanners from within one interface.

Found a pair of very nice mesh 5.25" blank panels from my gaming PC case that I have adapted to cover the 5.25" bays on the cluster box. Looks a bit neater and I can still see the blinkenlights :)

This image was scanned from a glass slide or photograph in the Williamson Collection of some 450 photographic glass slides and other items, which was acquired by the archives section of the Auchmuty Library. The collection was assembled by Archdeacon A. N. Williamson, who served for many years in the Diocese of Newcastle, as well as travelling extensively in the South Pacific area. The collection vividly portrays town and country life in Australia, particularly in Sydney and the Hunter Valley, soon after the turn of the century. The collection also illustrates life in Japan, Papua New Guinea, Nauru and Fiji, from the turn of the century until the mid-1930s.
