Curtis (Kurt) Freiler had been the manager in a factory in Germany, says his son, Robbie, and his goal was to have his own factory. In 1938, a young man, skilled in tool and die making and production, fled the Nazis and moved to Boston. American midcentury designers were influenced by those earlier ideals, says Harwood, but also incorporated abstraction, biomorphism (shapes that resemble organic forms) and surrealism.Īdditionally, “young jewelry designers of the 1930s all owe a debt to Alexander Calder and the jewelry he exhibited along with his sculptures,” says Harwood. This movement valued handmade things and humble materials, and believed that good design should be available to a large audience. The Arts and Crafts movement came out of the work of John Ruskin, the preeminent art critic of England in the Victorian period, and William Morris, a British designer and artist. – Photo courtesy of Historical photo of Renoir founder Jerry Fels. “Particularly in their use of lesser materials such as copper and brass, rather then diamonds, gold or rubies.” “I’m not sure that midcentury artists saw themselves as heirs of the Arts and Crafts movement, but they were,” says Barry Harwood, PhD., the curator of decorative arts at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. With his friend and brother-in-law, Curtis “Kurt” Freiler, Jerry ran a company that from 1946 to 1964 produced copper designs that are today beloved by jewelry collectors. Fels should know: In addition to being an accomplished sculptor himself, he is also the son of acclaimed designer Jerry Fels. Unlike iron or steel, copper corrodes slowly, another reason it appeals. “You can work copper hot or cold, you can cast it, you can stretch it until it’s paper thin. “Copper is a wonderful, warm, forgiving material,” says metalsmith Peter Fels.

Once you leave, navigate directions from your current location, to the pin and it will take you straight to your car. Use your maps application on your smart phone to drop a pin on your car before you enter the festival. We all know how hectic festival parking can get, and once it gets dark out, it can seem impossible to find your car. With the hope of making the festival even more enjoyable it even offers and in-app social stream. The app allows you to find art installations, stages, food, and more as well notifying headliners of important festival information. In order to ensure the safety of Beyond Wonderland being held at the Shoreline, it was definitely the right move to make.Ĭan't find a set you're trying to get to? Forgot an artists set time? Don't worry, Insomniac has created a Beyond Wonderland phone application that answers those questions for you and more. On Facebook he reminded attendees if it was up to him, we would be partying until sunrise. With noise complaints from neighbors, Rotella accepted the earlier end time. Pasquale Rotella went to Facebook Tuesday to remind headliners about an hour earlier end time for Sunday's festivities. Even when the sun goes down, make sure to visit the water stations regularly to ensure safety throughout the entire event. Insomniac allows Camelbaks and refillable water bottles, plus they also have a merchandise store where you can buy Insomniac water bottles inside. Dancing takes a lot of energy out of you, and with Insomniac's free water stations it is easier(and cheaper) than most festivals. One of the golden rules of daytime festivals is to stay hydrated. Below are some tips to ensure that you have the best Beyond Wonderland 2014 possible. With four unique stages, multiple rides, innovative art designs and a stellar lineup, Beyond Wonderland is one of the must-see festivals of the season. Performers, headliners, veterans, and first-time ravers will be experiencing one of the best electronic events Northern California has to offer. The third annual Beyond Wonderland Bay Areapresented by Insomniac will be infiltrating the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View this weekend. In 1976, Cleese co-founded The Secret Policeman's Ball benefit shows to raise funds for the human rights organization Amnesty International. With Yes Minister writer Antony Jay, he co-founded Video Arts, a production company making entertaining training films. He was ranked the second best comedian ever in a 2005 Channel 4 poll of fellow comedians. He has also starred in Time Bandits (1981) and Rat Race (2001) and has appeared in many other films, including Silverado (1985), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), two James Bond films (as R and Q), two Harry Potter films (as Nearly Headless Nick) and the last three Shrek films.Ĭleese has specialised in political and religious satire, black comedy, sketch comedy, and surreal humour. For A Fish Called Wanda he was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. In 2000 the show topped the British Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes and in a 2001 Channel 4 poll, Basil was ranked second on its list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters.Ĭleese co-starred with Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, and former Python colleague Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda (1988) and Fierce Creatures (1997), both of which he also wrote. In the mid-1970s, Cleese and first wife Connie Booth co-wrote the sitcom Fawlty Towers, in which he starred as hotel owner Basil Fawlty, for which he won the 1980 British Academy Television Award for Best Entertainment Performance. Along with his Python co-stars Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman, Cleese starred in Monty Python films, which include Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Life of Brian (1979) and The Meaning of Life (1983). In the late 1960s, he co-founded Monty Python, the comedy troupe responsible for the sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus. Emerging from the Cambridge Footlights in the 1960s, he first achieved success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and as a scriptwriter and performer on The Frost Report. John Marwood Cleese ( / k l iː z/ KLEEZ born 27 October 1939) is an English actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer. Many Norwegians grin and nod their heads like you're talking about some distant cousin that everyone cherishes but no one sees. When we've traveled elsewhere in Norway and have spoken with Norwegians, we usually get around to talking about the Lofotens because we loved them so. There are puffins in the Lofotens (and their northern extension the Vestervalens), but we never saw any when we were there. I think your best bet for puffins is as Helen says, on Runde off Ålesund. I'd guess in August it would be more like twenty-one hours maybe. We do well on 24 hours of sunlight (seems like grow-light therapy, but I know that may drive some folks a bit daffy). What makes the Lofotens special (at least for us) is that they're kind of like Norway in miniature: beautiful mountains, fjords, and fishing villages.I think I said all that stuff in my last post. You'll need a car there if you stay in a rorbu. Ginny: If you want to get a sense of the Lofotens, you might look at the website If you drive north as far as Bodø, you can take a ferry ride (about three and a half hours) to the Lofotens. Hotels: maybe take a look at one of the Summer discount hotel passes, like fjordpass.no with many hotels in the fjord area or skanplus.no giving you a discount and the 6th night free. probably rent a car in Bergen or Voss for a loop of the fjords, going to Flåm, Fjærland, Loen, Old Stryn mountain road past the summer ski, Down to Geiranger, Ålesund, Runde, and along the coast to Måløy or Florø getting back. Renting a car in Bergen or Voss, dooing a loop from there sounds nice. Otherwise there are several walk paths on top of the Island looking down. It is possible to join a small fishing boat going around vertical edges of the island where the birds nest. In the middle of fjord country at the western most point of Norway. If you want to see Puffins, one of the best places is not actually up north but at the Island Runde a few hours south of Ålesund town. The Hardanger platau and Vøringsfossen waterfall beeing highlights. It can be nice driving too if prepaird for the long drive. One-way rentals are expensive and you need to fly back from Harstad/Narvik airport.ĭriving Oslo-Bergen is an 8 hour+ drive. Going one-way to Lofoten would work, but don't go unless you really want to. With a couple of days in Oslo and Bergen I would probably just tour the western fjords. Buying a road map on arrival and following the road numbers would make driving easy. You will get to see the fjords from the water even if driving. You do not book these ferries you just turn up and wait until the ferry arrives. car-ferries going from one side of a fjord to the other as part of the road. You would probably get a better view driving than taking a cruise. Joined this sightseeing boat two years ago and people was doing just this. Taking a sightseeing boat on the Geiranger fjord, hop of at one of the deserted farm for a picnic and return on the next boat is nice. if you like taking pictures - this takes time. Do not plan on driving more than 250-300 km (max 180 miles a day). It's no problem driving - if you only take your time, don't rush and give way if you happen to come across some crazy locals in a hurry. Feel free to e-mail me if you have more questions. The Hellesjit to Gerainger route will give you a great 2.5 hour cruise along Geraingerfjord. However, our favorite part of Norway is the Lofoten chain (reachable by a three and a half hour ferry ride from Bodø or overland from Tromsø where you'll find lovely fishing villages, jagged mountains, fjords, and even a sandy beach or two north of the Arctic Circle. We have also done the Bergen to Oslo drive. We've done the fjord route from Bodø to Ålesund, and I don't feel that we missed much by driving. Also you will have to wait for a ferry now and again. Mountain tunnels are usually one-way, so you'll have to wait for a light to enter. Some of the roads are a bit slow for two reasons. Driving in Norway is easy (easier than in the U.S.). You do get the sense of cruising the fjords because many of the roads will require ferry crossings across fjords. Most of the roads are along the shores of the fjords. Gopack: The wonderful thing about driving through fjord country is that you can visit small towns, discover lovely vantage points, and take things at your own pace. (Or, if the cost of higher aged care was correctly considered as a policy decision, then those 2 figures would be $32 billion and $14 billion.)

The words ‘climate change’, ‘nature’, ‘wildlife’, and ‘environment’ did not feature in Treasurer Jim Chalmer’s budget address last night. But trying to select hot spots, particularly with a controller, is a miserable experience, making even the most simple brain teasers lessons in frustration. A hint of physics enhances their tactile nature, making them feel all the more tangible and even slightly playful. Most of them involve tinkering with satisfyingly mechanical and mostly logical conundrums, all gears and levers and enigmatic buttons. These issues even get in the way of the one bright spot in this otherwise dreary adventure: puzzles. Regardless of whether you use mouse and keyboard or, as recommended, a controller, Kate moves like a tank through mud, her poorly animated body struggling to even walk up stairs, and that’s when the camera isn’t doing it’s best to obscure everything.

Transcension 1: 27 Ascensions - XXXe8 HS - 40 AS - HZE 2100-2200 - Time 210 hours If you follow this guide for idle play you can expect to reach 3600 with:įresh start: 42 Ascensions - XXXe5 HS - 29 AS - HZE 1500-1600 - Time: Unknown for me (the game dont track the time before the update) but easily 300-400 hours. This will take A LOT of time (no matter your play style), if you want to take this out asap check other guides with glitches and exploits. I will not explain any glitch/exploit, this guide is intended just for normal afk play. Here i will explain the basics of the game and the best way to maximise dps/gold with minimun effort but playing legit. NEW: I recommend you to transcend right away when you launch the game if you have 20+AS waiting for you, but check how far are you from the next AS though, you can gain the first 20-30 AS pretty fast without trascend. The achievement is grindy but pretty straight forward, just reach the lvl 3600, you will need to ascend and transcend multiple times in order to get hero souls and ancient souls to improve your DPS, buy/upgrade ancients, upgrade outsiders and move gilds. You can find what has been updated just by CTRL+F with the word "NEW". : WARNING! Update 1.10e10 hits PC a few weeks ago, this update removes Solomon after the first transcension, along other major changes that makes this achievement longer than ever, if you need to close this game, do it before this patch arrives to consoles. “Nature has thus provided us with a process to try and replicate in industry,” said study co-author Andy Tomkins, a geologist at Monash University, in the release. By the team’s reckoning, the lonsdaleite formed in the ancient dwarf planet “shortly after a catastrophic collision.” If lonsdaleite’s structure makes it harder than ordinary diamonds, it could have applications in the materials sciences. The recent work offers “strong evidence that there’s a newly discovered formation process for the lonsdaleite and regular diamond,” McCulloch added. Lonsdaleite has also been found in the meteorite fragments left over from the Meteor Crater impact event, which occurred about 50,000 years ago. An asteroid’s collision with a dwarf planet is a similarly extreme event, one with the high temperatures and pressures necessary to create diamonds. In 1945, the Trinity bomb test showed the effectiveness of the newly developed plutonium bomb and also created trinitite, a bizarre, glasslike quasicrystal formed from desert sand and copper wiring in the high-pressure, high-temperature environment of the explosion. Extreme physics tends to bring out uncommon mineral structures. The hexagonal lonsdaleite diamonds formed within the ureilite rocks. They think the recently studied ureilite rocks formed in a the mantle of an ancient dwarf planet, which collided with an asteroid early in the formation of the solar system. In their recent research, the team found that lonsdaleite occurs naturally in ureilite meteorites, a type of carbon-bearing space rock made up of silicates, sulfides, and metal. The mineral differs from usual diamonds in its crystal structure, which is hexagonal (ordinary diamonds have a cubic crystal structure.) Separate research earlier this year indicated that lonsdaleite’s structure makes it harder than other diamonds. The mineral has also been created in lab settings, but otherwise is vanishingly rare on Earth. Lonsdaleite has previously been found in meteorites, including the Diablo Canyon meteorite, a fragment found in Arizona’s famous Meteor Crater. “This study proves categorically that lonsdaleite exists in nature,” said study co-author Dougal McCulloch, director of the Microscopy and Microanalysis Facility at RMIT in Australia, in a university release. Their research is published today in PNAS. They investigated 18 ureilite fragments using advanced electron microscopy, to better understand how the lonsdaleite within the space rocks formed. According to a team of scientists in Australia, the mineral lonsdaleite-a type of diamond with a hexagonal crystal structure-can be found in meteorites that were likely created when an asteroid collided with a dwarf planet billions of years ago. New research indicates that a rare form of diamond may originate in the burbling cores of distant worlds, arriving on Earth thanks to violent cosmic collisions.

Never-before-seen Diamond Crystal Structure Found Inside A Meteorite.
The Pythagorean theorem was also known to the Babylonians. The volume of a cylinder was taken as the product of the base and the height, however, the volume of the frustum of a cone or a square pyramid was incorrectly taken as the product of the height and half the sum of the bases. They were aware that this was an approximation, and one Old Babylonian mathematical tablet excavated near Susa in 1936 (dated to between the 19th and 17th centuries BCE) gives a better approximation of π as 25/8 = 3.125, about 0.5 percent below the exact value. They measured the circumference of a circle as three times the diameter and the area as one-twelfth the square of the circumference, which would be correct if π is estimated as 3. 28 (3), p. 202).īabylonians knew the common rules for measuring volumes and areas.

Most satisfactorily by reciprocal pairs, as first suggested half a century ago, and the second Same answer as the question "what problems does the tablet set?" The first can be answered the question "how was the tablet calculated?" does not have to have the Care must be exercised to see the tablet in terms of methods familiar or accessible to scribes at the time. Much has been written on the subject, including some speculation (perhaps anachronistic) as to whether the tablet could have served as an early trigonometrical table. The triples are too many and too large to have been obtained by brute force. The Babylonian tablet YBC 7289 gives an approximation to 2. The majority of recovered clay tablets date from 1800 to 1600 BC, and cover topics that include fractions, algebra, quadratic and cubic equations and the Pythagorean theorem. Written in Cuneiform script, tablets were inscribed while the clay was moist, and baked hard in an oven or by the heat of the sun. In contrast to the scarcity of sources in Egyptian mathematics, knowledge of Babylonian mathematics is derived from some 400 clay tablets unearthed since the 1850s. Babylonian mathematics remained constant, in character and content, for nearly two millennia. With respect to content, there is scarcely any difference between the two groups of texts. With respect to time they fall in two distinct groups: one from the Old Babylonian period (1830–1531 BC), the other mainly Seleucid from the last three or four centuries BC. Babylonian mathematical texts are plentiful and well edited.
