Aragonite helictites from Austria. (Wayne State University collection, Detroit, Michigan, USA)
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6100 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The carbonate minerals all contain one or more carbonate (CO3-2) anions.
Aragonite has the same chemistry as calcite - it is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). However, aragonite has a different molecular structure - the atoms are packed differently. Different minerals having the same chemical formula are called "polymorphs" (another good example is graphite and diamond - both are carbon, C).
Unlike calcite, aragonite forms crystals in the orthorhombic class. Many aragonite crystals are acicular (needle-like) or pseudohexagonal. The latter is the result of six orthorhombic prisms growing parallel to each other. The sample seen here is a radiating cluster of pseudohexagonal, cyclic-twinned aragonite masses.
Aragonite is slightly harder than calcite, at H=3.5 to 4, occurs in many colors, and easily bubbles in acid. Aragonite is a little bit more dense than calcite, due to closer packing of atoms.
Most modern seashells and coral skeletons are composed of the aragonite. Whitish-colored lime sand beaches in the world are aragonitic. Occasionally, "whitings" are seen in shallow, warm ocean environments. Whitings (cloudy, milky seawater) turn out to have numerous tiny, hair-like needles of aragonite.
In the rock record, aragonitic or aragonite-rich sediments convert to calcite over time. Cenozoic-aged carbonate sedimentary rocks are often aragonitic. Mesozoic- and Paleozoic-aged carbonates are almost always calcitic. Many ancient fossils have had their aragonitic shells dissolved away. Ancient shells that were originally calcitic are often still well preserved.
The specimen seen here consists of twisted aragonite masses called helictites, a type of speleothem ("cave formation"). Such aragonitic helictites are sometimes referred to using the silly and non-informative nickname "flos ferri".

Teapotty! is a teapot sitting on a servo which takes readings from a magnetometer which is influenced by neodymium magnets in a cup. The magnetometer takes the reading from the north position, plays a bit of something similar to the Tetley Tea tune and then moves to a new position - where the teacup moves to. BlinkM RGB LEDs indicate the new position of the teapot by changing colour based on the teapot's new position from 0-180 degrees. I made some polymorph diffuser covers for them & also added heart confetti to emphasise the feeling of heartwarming happiness a cup of tea can bring :-)

Blomstring/Flowering:Januar-april (1-4)
Habitat:Gressletter, urbane strøk, hager, balkongkasser
Man trenger ikke gå lenger enn til balkongkassen for å finne denne lille varianten av gule erteblomster. Den kan bli et ganske gjenstridig ugress i blomsterkrukker og terrassekasser. Røttene sitter godt festet til jorden og mange har også sikkert fått følt de piggete fruktene som fester seg til klær. Men for de som har feriehus og ikke noe tilsyn så er denne en dekorativ plante allerede tidlig på våren. Blomstene er knøttesmå gule og tiriltungeaktige. Bladene er brede tynne og spadeformede med små pigger eller hår ytterst.

Status: Widespread summer visitor to Ireland from April to August.
Conservation Concern: Green-listed in Ireland. The European population is currently evaluated as secure.
Identification: Despite its obvious song, relatively infrequently seen. In flight, can be mistaken for a bird of prey such as Sparrowhawk, but has rapid wingbeats below the horizontal plane - ie. the wings are not raised above the body. Adult male Cuckoos are a uniform grey on the head, neck, back, wings and tail. The underparts are white with black barring. Adult females can appear in one of two forms. The so-called grey-morph resembles the adult male plumage, but has throat and breast barred black and white with yellowish wash. The rufous-morph has the grey replaced by rufous, with strong black barring on the wings, back and tail. Juvenile Cuckoos resemble the female rufous-morph, but are darker brown above.
Similar Species: Sparrowhawk
Call: The song is probably one of the most recognisable and well-known of all Irish bird species. The male gives a distinctive “wuck-oo”, which is occasionally doubled “wuck-uck-ooo”. The female has a distinctive bubbling “pupupupu”. The song period is late April to late June.
Diet: Mainly caterpillars and other insects.
Breeding: Widespread in Ireland, favouring open areas which hold their main Irish host species – Meadow Pipit. Has a remarkable breeding biology unlike any other Irish breeding species.
Wintering: Cuckoos winter in central and southern Africa.
To minimise the chance of being recognised and thus attacked by the birds they are trying to parasitize, female cuckoos have evolved different guises.
The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. On hatching, the young cuckoo ejects the host's eggs and chicks from the nest, so the hosts end up raising a cuckoo chick rather than a brood of their own. To fight back, reed warblers (a common host across Europe) have a first line of defence: they attack, or ‘mob’, the female cuckoo, which reduces the chance that their nest is parasitized.
To deter the warbler from attacking, the colouring of the grey cuckoo mimics sparrow hawks, a common predator of reed warblers. However, other females are bright rufous (brownish-red). The presence of alternate colour morphs in the same species is rare in birds, but frequent among the females of parasitic cuckoo species. The new research shows that this is another cuckoo trick: cuckoos combat reed warbler mobbing by coming in different guises.
In the study, the researchers manipulated local frequencies of the more common grey colour cuckoo and the less common (in the United Kingdom) rufous colour cuckoo by placing models of the birds at neighbouring nests. They then recorded how the experience of watching their neighbours mob changed reed warbler responses to both cuckoos and a sparrow hawk at their own nest.
They found that reed warblers increased their mobbing, but only to the cuckoo morph that their neighbours had mobbed. Therefore, as one cuckoo morph increases in frequency, local host populations will become alerted specifically to that morph. This means the alternate morph will be more likely to slip past host defences and lay undetected. This is the first time that ‘social learning’ has been documented in the evolution of mimicry as well as the evolution of different observable characteristics - such as colour - in the same species (called polymorphism).
From the University of Cambridge “When mimicry becomes less effective, evolving to look completely different can be a successful trick. Our research shows that individuals assess disguises not only from personal experience, but also by observing others. However, because their learning is so specific, this social learning then selects for alternative cuckoo disguises and the arms race continues.”.
“It’s well known that cuckoos have evolved various egg types which mimic those of their hosts in order to combat rejection. This research shows that cuckoos have also evolved alternate female morphs to sneak through the hosts' defenses. This explains why many species which use mimicry, such as the cuckoo, evolve different guises.”

"Intelligent Design?" Patently offensive & absolutely freakishly, anthropomorphically ridiculous. As Feuerbach observed: "Man—this is the mystery of (theistic) religion—projects his being into objectivity, and then again makes himself an object to this projected image of himself thus converted into a subject; he thinks of himself, is an object to himself, but as the object of an object, of another being than himself."

The red-billed quelea is the most abundant wild bird on the planet, with an estimated population of 1.5 billion birds. Some sources have this figure as high as 1000 billion, which I found hard to believe. When I asked my bird ringing mentor and weaver enthusiast, Dieter Oschadleus for his take on the issue, he said: "There are LOTS of them". The estimates vary greatly because of lack of understanding the biology of the quelea, making estimations of the quelea population size difficult.
"For instance, many large colonies breed in inaccessible areas in Africa and the numbers breeding in different years would be different, based on environmental conditions. Because the global population is high, it is possible for there to be occasional large fluctuations in total numbers in different years or time periods (in addition to the inaccuracy of any estimates)."
"The short answer is that there are lots of quelea and all methods of population estimates are fraught with assumptions."
"For total population, take your pick!"
Red-billed queleas mainly eat seeds of cereals and grasses, supplemented with arthropods taken from vegetation and in flight. It is highly gregarious, living in flocks which can be have millions of birds, that can completely devastate cultivated areas. The sheer size of the biggest flocks is scary and even intimidates elephants that will evacuate an area when such a flock settles nearby.
In some areas, they are subjected to pest control measures, but even the destruction of 100 million birds in a year does not have an impact other than temporary relief for the crops in that area.
Like the common household pet, the budgie, they actually show more than one standard colour. This phenomenon is called polymorphism.

Agatized coral from the Tertiary of Georgia, USA.
Parts of Georgia and Florida are known for having geodized, agatized corals. The original coral skeletons were composed of aragonite (CaCO3, calcium carbonate), a polymorph of calcite. The fossil corals have since been silicified and geodized, resulting in chalcedony-lined cavities / vugs.
Stratigraphy: supposedly from marine sedimentary rocks in the Hawthorn Group, Tertiary

The concave shape was inspired by Steb1's small concave diffuser he created for his MT24 EX (Canon equivalent of Nikon's R1C1 macro flash system), you can see Steb1's equipment setup here - flic.kr/s/aHsjjHRWp5.
I molded some plastic around the end of the SB-R200 using polymorph which protuded enough to slot in a small plastic tube. The tube naturally bends into an oval shape when slotted into the plastic mold. A concave, oval shaped deodorant lid is placed in the end which has further diffusion by 2 layers of velum paper glued to the deodorant lid. Not ideal for lighting background but concentrates the light at the subject and is very portable and not clunky or oversized like previous designs.
The Variable Wisp damselflies display a high degree of colour polymorphism, with at least 2 different colour types for each sex- thus easily misidentified.
These beautiful damselflies are abundant around grassy areas near water bodies (even contaminated ones) :D
This particular one here has just emerged from its larvae and is in teneral shape- weak flying capabilities, faint colours, soft (but shiny) wings.

quadrapop Lane in Exhibition Hall

Exhibition Hall SLurl: slurl.com/secondlife/Tabula rasa/152/117/27
About the Artist:
"quadrapop Lane has been in SL for over a year now - building, running a gallery and now a sim dedicated to the content creators of SL.
The avatars worn by quadrapop are varied and as the profile says.... "I am a polymorph so don't expect me to look like this pic in my profile... I could be male, female, animal or mineral... and sometimes I'm just a cloud of particles...." So if you dont recognise the AV with quadrapop Lane above it that is probably why.
Hir SL artworks have a distinctive style... rainbows feature as do circles and spheres in many forms... there is no social commentary... this is pure exploration of the possibilities of the SL prim building system for abstract ends. Some have described hir texture use as inspired... and it is true that the textures on the sculptures are integral to the work's success.
When you enter a space created, or decorated, by quadrapop you are well aware that you are no longer in Kansas (nor anywhere else on Earth) - this is purely SL.
The objects will morph without changing shape. The lighting will change their mood and sometimes their meaning, so play with your environment settings. Glow, alphas and flexi prims are all essential apsects of most of these works."

DANSE — JE 28 – VE 29 JANVIER 2016 20H
à l'Hexagone Scène Nationale Arts Sciences - Meylan
—
Au départ du projet AU, il y a la volonté du chorégraphe autrichien Christian Ubl et de la chorégraphe australienne Kylie Walters de travailler ensemble et d’interroger la notion d’altérité avec d’autres artistes, notamment le compositeur Seb Martel et le paysagiste Gilles Clément. Un projet porté par l’envie des deux chorégraphes de questionner avec humour les notions déjà présentes dans les précédents volets de ce cycle (notamment Shake it out joué à l’Hexagone en 2013) : la culture, le vivre ensemble et la tradition. L’intention est d’établir comment et pourquoi « la différence » est un élément constitutif de « l’identité ».
L’écriture de AU est protéiforme, polymorphe, bâtie autour de la posture du trois temps de la valse et des danses traditionnelles aborigènes. Elle ne donne pas à voir la représentation d’une mixité de cultures juxtaposées mais le résultat d’une refonte de racines autrichiennes et australiennes où subsistent les traces des temps anciens, les résidus de codes et de clichés connus. Le choc des représentations conduira à emprunter des chemins détournés, tantôt ceux de l’absurde, tantôt ceux du burlesque, permettant de questionner la généralisation des logiques de déculturation et d’adaptation.
AU — Un code signifiant l’Autriche pour l’un, l’Australie pour l’autre où les erreurs d’acheminement de colis postaux sont fréquents. Un paradoxe, tant les deux pays sont différents.
