Reaction-diffusion implemented as realtime simulation running on OpenGL shader. Diffusion is implemented as a discrete sampling for faster execution instead of the more proper Gaussian blur.
Resulting execution is very fast and smooth, and modifying the sampling point set yields some interesting textures.

Bright Brussels 2018
Bright Brussels is a light festival, a fascinating route through the city consisting of a dozen light installations that are artistic, interactive, playful,... and simply captivating. Bright Brussels is a free event that is open to all from 18:30 to 23:00, for four nights from 22 to 25 February.
For this edition, a massive, must-see installation is hanging in the extraordinary setting that is the Citroen garage on place de l'Yser/IJzerplein. The route then stretches over the historical heart of the city through the Beguinage - Dixmude and Dansaert neighbourhoods, from Sainctelette to Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne. Come and (re-)discover these neighbourhoods' rich architectural heritage thanks to the magic of light!
TETRO (FR) + Whitevoid (DE) - Stalactite
At the heart of the majestic structure of the Citroen building, with its clean lines, is an enormous suspended structure, floating above the visitors. It generates light motifs and complex shapes to the rhythm of the electronic music of Boris Divider. This artistic light display by Christopher Bauder is called Stalactite. It offers an immersive experience of the madness of the 21st century.
Venue: Former Citroen garage
OCUBO and Telmo Ribeiro (PT) - Underlight
'Underlight' is a simulation of the aurora borealis. It combines coloured lasers, smoke machines and the wind to create lighting effects. These form a coloured curtain with the accompaniment of haunting music to plunge the audience into a splendid sound and light show.
Venue: Quai du Commerce and Parc du Quai a la Houille
Aerosculpture (FR) - Lumiere d'eau (Light in water)
What becomes of the basins of our fountains when winter robs them of their water? Are they filled to the brim with other, highly illuminated wavelengths, in the hope that a school of flying fishes will be attracted by the light and come to take possession of their banks? This is the story told by the installation 'Lumiere d'eau' with its moving, glittering lights spread over the surface of the basin and about a hundred lighter-than-air fish, caught by invisible hooks, that are lit by the colours of this imaginary water to offer us a thousand reflections moving and swirling in the wind.
Venue: Vismet, Fontaine Anspach
Estudio Sergio Ramos (ES) - Triple jet
This installation reminds us of the need to recover the identity of our cities by valuing their diversity and plurality. 'Triple jet' uses a strong symbol with an internationally recognised graphic identity, the Mannekenn Pis, who has landed in a public place as the main protagonist of a new urban landscape.
Venue: Institut Pacheco
OCUBO (PT) - Flower Power
'Flower Power' is an experimental immersive video mapping show. It is based on experimentation with the physical forces of water and gravity. It explores the aesthetic of one of the most beautiful and colourful phenomena in nature, flowers. Inspired by the colour, movement and fusion of these phenomena, the project transforms the everyday image of a flower into something magical and poetical.
Venue: Place du Beguinage
Tetro and Trafik (FR) - 160
'160' is an interactive sound and light installation that offers an intuitive instrument for exploring representation, projection and the relationship in space of shapes, colours and sound. It consists of 20 square arches, each containing eight lit segments. 160 light strips are deployed over the 60 m of the structure.
Venue: Vismet
Mathilde Lemesle (FR) - Aux fenetres de Bruxelles - Appel d'air (At the windows of Brussels - Drawing in air)
'At the windows of Brussels - Drawing in air' is a light installation created for the 2018 Bright Brussels Festival. This exterior video mapping show is located on the facade of a house and plays with the features of that setting. Lighting effects are a way for visitors to rediscover the many sides of places.
Venue: Rue du Nom de Jesus
Dolus and Dolus (FR): Stratum
'Stratum' is an interactive installation that uses gesture to influence a 'lit area'. Running one's hand over a capture interface reproduces it in space using layers of light. This reaction generates a visible and tangible reflection of the gesture, like an ephemeral geology of movement.
Venue: Rue du Marche aux Porcs
Collectif Coin (FR) - Child Hood
'Child Hood' is a cloud. Comprising a multitude of luminous balloons, it hovers between numerical minimalism and a monumental kinetic installation. It invades space. The wind rushes in between the balloons. Like the ultimate interpreter, it injects a note of chaos into a finely measured sound and light composition.
Venue: Place du Nouveau Marche aux Grains
THEORIZ (FR) - Crystallized
'CRYSTALLIZED' is an immersive sculpture composed of steel, sounds and holographic images. Inspired by Bismuth crystal and built according to the laws of light propagation, CRYSTALLIZED is a mysterious, ever-changing sculpture that goes from atoms to liquid-crystal. The audience is drawn to appreciate the infinite, hypnotising lighting effects of the work from its different perspectives.

Nothing like a photo to summarise your recent activities. I had a great time in Chile working with the Army on Simulation and Training Systems - they were keen, technically proficient and enthusiastic to work with.
They were also excellent hosts!
I hope I get the chance to work with them again.

Boise National Forest partners with local agencies to host incident response exercise
The Boise National Forest along with county and state agencies hosted the Boise County incident response exercise. Approximately 180 people participated, including nine volunteer fire departments within Boise County, four EMS agencies and the Boise County Sheriff’s Office. The all-day simulation involved six exercises, which included a large wildland fire in an urban interface, small initial attack vegetation fires, one mass casualty medical exercise and a law enforcement exercise. Centennial Job Corps students role-played victims and multiple dispatch centers participated to create a real-life scenario for responders. Credit: US Forest Service.

Paramedic students learn how to manage cardiac arrests through simulation. This includes a manikin, cardiac monitor/defibrillator, a cardiac rhythm generator, mock drugs, airway management equipment, and IV supplies.
Simulation day at #CityCollegeFTL! We conducted a scenario involving a mass casualty situation with five victims, in which students from several programs participated. The results were outstanding! The medical assisting students came to the aide of one victim and called the EMS team to take over. The most severe patient was taken to the operating room for surgery, with the anesthesia and surgical technology students. Amazing work was done by our students.
European Political Community Summit Simulation for Moldovan Youth, 2023
On 26-27 May, 50 young people from various regions of Moldova took part in a simulation of the European Political Community Summit, organised by the Young European Ambassadors (YEAs) from Moldova. The event took place at the Moldovan Parliament in Chisinau.
The simulation took place on the eve of the summit of the European political community held near Chisinau on 1 June at the initiative of the EU. Forty-seven heads of state and government, as well as the presidents of the European Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament were invited to the summit.
The simulation provided young participants with the opportunity to take on the role of European leaders representing their countries or institutions. Participants discussed a variety of topics, including peace, democracy, climate, energy, security and misinformation, and offered their vision of how to strengthen security and stability on the European continent.

Epidural Anaesthesia simulation model. ESA prize 2016. The complex skills involved with administering epidurals, such as locating optimal insertion point and needle angle, can only be learned by practice. However it can be dangerous for novice anaesthetists to practice their first epidural procedure on real patients. This simulator provides a training scenario whereby novice anaesthetists can practice needle insertions and visualise bony structures.
Here's one that I've been looking forward to opening up for quite some time now.
If you've read my other reviews, I'm sure you've noticed that my collecting generally follows a few rules, as well as focuses on several properties while at the same time being a random mish mash of stuff.
Enter the Corrin (Female) Figma from Fire Emblem: Fates.
Fire Emblem was one of those game series that didn't really pick up traction, at least in North America, until recently. Fire Emblem has been around since the Famicom days, with the first North American entry being introduced back on the GBA. Since then, I think we've gotten every release but it wasn't until a little game called Fire Emblem: Awakening was released on 3DS that the North American gaming world took note, partially due to the characters and writing, and more than partially, I'm confident, due to the fact they've made the game more palatable for casual players.
Unlike other typical SRPG games where if your characters die (presuming it's not the main character) they come back to life the next stage, Fire Emblem liked to bring permadeath into the equation, so basically you were really planning out your attacks to take advantage of that weapons triangle.
Anyway, the sequel to Awakening brought even more changes to the series by having a game with two main campaigns, with a third campaign via DLC (or if you bought the special edition of the game, on cartridge) that was the logical middle ground of everything. It also introduced a certain busty Wyvern rider by the name of Camilla, but that's another story.
Overall, it is sufficient to say that there is a thirst for Fire Emblem merchandise, and pricing it commands is crazy on the aftermarket, so getting it at MSRP is basically the best you'll probably actually be able to do.
The main character in Fates (that is, your character) has the default name of Corrin, and can be male or female depending on what you pick. While the Amiibo had both male and female releases, the Figma only released the female version.
Probably the most expensive Figma I've bought thus far, I bit the bullet and bought one from Good Smile directly in Japan.. turns out I could have saved about $15 or so if I had waited a few months because Kijiji happens, but hey, at least it's one that's off my list of stuff to hunt for.
In her default class, Corrin has the ability to wield swords and turn into a dragon, that latter of which is sadly not represented in this figure, because every knows dragons are all sorts of awesome.
From a character design point of view, you'll notice that Corrin is predominantly bright colours, which speaks to her background as a character. Like with all cool anime characters, Corrin also has a cape, and because she's all that, apparently she has no shoes either, and runs around on the battle field with her bare feet.
The figure comes with several additional hands, two expressions (smiling, angry), her default Yamato sword, and a blue Dragonstone. Because I lucked out (ordering at least a year past the drop off) or because they had too many, I was actually able to score the preorder bonus weapon the Omega Yamato as well.
Corrin of course has an impressive array of joints, including in her cape, that allow for a great number of dynamic poses. Unique (ish?) to this figure is the joint in her hair. While other figures have articulated ponytails or something like that, Corrin has a joint in her hair that allows it to pose straight back, allowing for a great simulation of dashing. Her half skirt thing, however, limits movement on her left leg.
I'm no expert but I think I got a few decent poses in the pictures.
Not as awesome are her dainty feet and legs that make standing her up kind of a pain, but I guess that's why there's a base included. Except attaching the base is kind of a pain as well due to the location of the peg hole and the smaller peg size itself.
QC again is top notch, with all paint and decals being sharp with minor bleeding, which given the small size of these figures is no easy feat. Sculpting and assembly pass the test from me as well. The feet themselves feature sculpted toes, and I think arches as well, which while nice, further adds to the stability issue.
The only other Fire Emblem Figma that I'm aware of is Lucina from Fates, and of course I have her. I can't really say which one is the superior Figma release as they're both pretty solid, but I think as a character design goes, Lucina looks like she fits in the with rest of the Fire Emblem crew where as Corrin looks like she's wearing something inspired by the camouflage suit in Ghost in the Shell. Both, however, do the license proud as well as Figmas in general.
As good as they both are, I don't think it's a surprise to anyway that what I REALLY want is a Camillia Figma. Oh well.. maybe one day.
We did a science simulation today on natural selection.
