Teapotty has RGB LED reactive hearts! by Rain Rabbit

I decided what my Teapotty! needed was some RGB LED heart indicators to show when and where Teapotty had moved over 180 degrees, so I added some BlinkMs (addressable RGB LEDs), some more code and then made some polymorph hearts.

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.

Teapotty! is an interactive electronic teapot I've constructed for the Chi-TEK tea party event & exhibition of tech teapots at the V&A in Sept 11.

Teapotty on display in a cabinet at the V&A by Rain Rabbit

Teapotty! is an interactive electronic teapot I've constructed for the Chi-TEK tech tea party event at the V&A in Sept 11. Before and after the tea party, it will sit quietly on display in a cabinet for 3 months. www.mztek.org/programs/chi-tek/

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 :-)

Medicago polymorpha Toothed Medick by Svein Erik Larsen

LAT:Medicago polymorpha

NO:Snegleskolm var.

ENG:Toothed medick

SP:Carretón

DE:Schneckenklee

Sted/Place:Bel Air, Estepona, Malaga

Dato/Date:03 2010

Str/Size:15-50 cm (Ofte krypende eller hengende)

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.

Lunar feldsp. Breccia

Northwest Africa

Find: 2014

TKW: 82 g / OBJ: Micro

Purchased by Steve Arnold in August 2014 from a dealer in Zagora, Morocco.

Physical characteristics: A batch of identical stones (total weight 82 g), each of which is partly coated by pale tan, clayey soil. Interiors consist of small white to beige clasts in gray matrix.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Breccia composed of a variety of mineral clasts and sparse, small mare basalt clasts in a finer grained, vesicular matrix. Minerals are olivine (including unusually forsteritic grains associated with Cr-pleonaste), orthopyroxene, pigeonite, augite, anorthite, intermediate plagioclase, silica polymorph, fayalite, ilmenite, baddeleyite, troilite, kamacite, merrillite, zirconolite, and minor secondary barite and calcite. One unusual clast consists of K-feldspar + silica polymorph with accessory zirconolite and an unknown Th-Zr-Ti mineral.

Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa6.8, FeO/MnO = 60; Fa27.4-50.3, FeO/MnO = 91-103, N = 4), orthopyroxene (Fs24.5-39.8Wo4.2-4.1, FeO/MnO = 57-69, N = 2), subcalcic augite (Fs16.0-34.4Wo36.4-36.0, FeO/MnO = 45-55, N = 3), fayalite (Fa93.2, FeO/MnO = 79), anorthite (An95.1-96.6Or0.3, N = 2), plagioclase (An49.1Or1.1; An70.7Or1.8).

Classification: Lunar (feldspathic regolithic breccia).

Specimens: 16.4 g including one polished endcut at UWB. The remaining material is held by Mr. S. Arnold.

HED Achondrites, Diogenite

Western Sahara

Find: 2013

TKW: 20 kg / OBJ: 3,8 g

Found buried in the ground near Chouichiyat on March 3, 2013, and excavated by a team of local people.

Physical characteristics: A single large mass (at least 20 kg) composed of yellow-green crystalline material with pale orange weathering products along numerous fractures. Much of the material disintegrated into fragments upon excavation.

Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) The specimen is composed almost entirely of translucent, yellow-green orthopyroxene with very sparse, tiny included grains of Ni-free metal, troilite, chromite, anorthite, silica polymorph and clinopyroxene. Secondary pale orange, clay-like deposits from terrestrial weathering are present along thin fractures.

Geochemistry: Orthopyroxene (Fs28.1-28.3Wo3.0-3.3; FeO/MnO = 29-31), clinopyroxene (Fs10.9Wo43.1, FeO/MnO = 26). Oxygen isotopes (K. Ziegler, UNM): analyses of acid-washed orthopyroxene by laser fluorination gave, respectively, δ17O = 1.677, 1.793, 1.810; δ18O = 3.680, 3.879, 3.875; Δ17O = -0.266, -0.255, -0.236 per mil.

Specimens: 44.5 g of material is on deposit at UWB. The remainder is held by several anonymous collectors.

Blijdorp, Rotterdam, Zoo

Butterflies are part of the class of Insects in the order Lepidoptera. Moths are also included in this order. Adults butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprise the true butterflies (superfamily Papilionoidea), the skippers (superfamily Hesperioidea) and the moth-butterflies (superfamily Hedyloidea). Other families within Lepidoptera are referred to as moths. Butterfly fossils date to the mid Eocene epoch, 40–50 million years ago.[1]

Butterflies exhibit polymorphism, mimicry and aposematism. Some, like the Monarch, will migrate over long distances. Some butterflies have and parasitic relationships with organisms including protozoans, flies, ants, other invertebrates, and vertebrates. [2] [3] Some species are pests because in their larval stages they can damage domestic crops or trees; however, some species are agents of pollination of some plants, and caterpillars of a few butterflies (e.g., Harvesters) eat harmful insects. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts.

Marcasite nodule (Ohio, USA) 4 by James St. John

(crack surface)

--------------------------------

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 6000 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 sulfide minerals contain one or more sulfide anions (S-2). The sulfides are usually considered together with the arsenide minerals, the sulfarsenide minerals, and the telluride minerals. Many sulfides are economically significant, as they occur commonly in ores. The metals that combine with S-2 are mainly Fe, Cu, Ni, Ag, etc. Most sulfides have a metallic luster, are moderately soft, and are noticeably heavy for their size. These minerals will not form in the presence of free oxygen. Under an oxygen-rich atmosphere, sulfide minerals tend to chemically weather to various oxide and hydroxide minerals.

Marcasite is an iron sulfide mineral, FeS2, which is the same chemical formula as pyrite. Different minerals having the same chemical formula are called polymorphs. Other examples of polymorphs are graphite-diamond (both C) and calcite-aragonite (both CaCO3). Pyrite and marcasite both have a metallic luster, a brassy gold color, and a dark gray to black streak. They both lack cleavage, and they have the same hardness (H = 6 to 6.5). Marcasite tends to have a paler brass color than pyrite. Some marcasites are almost silvery-colored.

How does one visually distinguish marcasite from pyrite? Apart from color, marcasite crystals are typically plates, or sharp & pointed, and marcasite tends to twin, resulting in cockscomb masses (www.mindat.org/photo-408969.html). Marcasite also more readily breaks down into whitish powder (FeSO4).

Pyrite can convert to marcasite naturally, and vice versa. Pyrite concretions may have preserved needle-shaped crystals of marcasite, but the marcasite is gone. X-ray analysis may be needed to determine which polymorph is present.

Stratigraphy: possibly / probably derived from the Ohio Shale (Upper Devonian)

Locality: central Ohio, USA

quadrapop Lane show opening by Avalon Town

quadrapop Lane in Exhibition Hall

August 30th - September 20th

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."

Jorge Carrasco 2019 - 2006 by saboyemichele

1 3

Jorge Carrasco est né à la Paz le 4 mai 1919. Après des études éclair à l’école des Beaux arts de la Paz, il part découvrir le monde avec ses pinceaux. Ainsi, il parcourt toute l’Amérique Latine et les États-Unis, rencontre et expose auprès de grands noms comme Picasso, Matisse… à la Biennale de Sao Paulo. Dans les années 50, il se rend en Europe et expose dans les grandes capitales.

À Paris, il rencontre son épouse Simone et rejoint, avec elle, son pays natal. En 1967, pour fuir la dictature de son pays, il revient en France où il s’installe définitivement dans le Berry. Là, Il trouve un lieu propice à la création. Carrasco dotera les murs de l’église du Menoux (Indre) d’une oeuvre impressionnante et c’est dans ce village que tout son art trouvera son accomplissement.

"Il faudrait inventer un seul mot pour parler de l’homme, de l’artiste, des mille facettes de son art, de sa vie, du rêveur, du phénomène Carrasco, tellement toutes ces dimensions se mêlent, s’interpénètrent et se vitalisent en lui.

LA SCULPTURE

Minérale, aux formes pures, sensuelles, si douces dans leur matière dure. Marbres, granits, onyx, serpentines… La force et la passion de l’artiste en venaient à bout et un Carrasco penseur et amoureux de l’univers prenait corps dans ces pierres sublimées ; formes invitant l’esprit à caresser la courbe, le cosmos, la nature, la matière et ses couleurs, l’infini.

LA PEINTURE

Le multiple et la diversité deviennent un principe de vie à l’oeuvre. Ils traduisent la recherche permanente et la créativité foisonnante de l’artiste lui-même. Ici apparaît un Carrasco fait de toutes les métamorphoses de son existence, traversant un siècle d’art riche en créativité. Artiste polymorphe, peintre aux mille visages et autant de techniques, sujets, motifs, formats, supports, l’art de Carrasco accepte tout du réel, le réinvente et redonne vie à ce qui est mort. Carrasco n’était qu’un : unicité d’un être accompli, entier et singulier."

I R SCULPTOR by thedisneyprincesswhowaspromised

Attempts 1 & 2 at Polymorph dogs...note how much of an improvement the second is. He actually has four legs and can stand. xD I kind of let the stuff do what it wanted, and it wanted to become a semi-prick-eared terrier. That stuff was fun to work with, and reminded me of my 7th-grade art "Native American" bag of mini clay sculptures. To my credit, I did not make a mother with her nose on her knee...but next I may make a bust of myself. If I haven't already.

La ceinture rouge à l'abdomen, les points blancs sur les antennes permettent entre autres l'identification par "insectes.org"

la zygène de la coronille sur scabieuse (Knautia arvensis) 91800BSA

c'est une espèce thermophile qui est répandu dans toute l'Eurasie tempérée, qui fréquente les bois clairs et leurs lisières, les pentes chaudes et les steppes arborées, avec une préférence pour les sols calcaires. Cette zygène est très polymorphe; on distingue les formes dites éphialtoïdes, chez qui, le fond entièrement noir y compris aux ailes postérieures, est rehaussé de taches blanches; les formes peucédanoïdes présentent au contraire des couleurs vives, le plus souvent du rouge vermillon. Ces différentes se croisent entre elles là où elles cohabitent et donnent des individus transitionnels. L'adulte vole de juin à août, la chenille se développe sur la coronille bigarrée et hiverne. Elle se nymphose dans un cocon blanc satiné, souvent dissimulé dans les buissons, contre les pierres ou sur les chaumes de graminées.
