With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

Five years ago we presented a speculative product called Organic Coke to stir a discussion on the use of natural imagery to market products. Last year we reported on an internal presentation of the Coca-Cola company that analyzed the opportunities of Organic Coke. Guess what? This month the soda-giant launches healthier and eco-friendlier option to consumers. They call it: Cola Life.
'Coca-Cola Life' is said to be an all-natural, low-calorie soda packaged in a fully-recyclable plant-based bottle. The drink is made with a mixture of sugar and stevia-based substitute, and contains two times fewer calories than regular Coke. The all organic sugar drink is launched in Argentina, with total world domination soon to follow. The website is a schoolbook parody of biomimic marketing, except that it is not a parody.
Green: It's the color of spring leaves, little frogs and, apparently, health. According to a new study, consumers overwhelmingly rated candy bars with green nutrition labels as healthier than those with red labels, even when all the data remained the same. While green is perceived as a "green light" to go ahead and eat a sugary snack, the color green is also heavily pushed in biomimicmarketing to imply a product is wholesome and natural – and therefore better for you.

Chef Dan Barber discusses a dilemma facing many chefs today: how to keep fish on the menu? With impeccable research and deadpan humor, he chronicles the discovery of a unique open-ended and utmost sustainable fish farm in Spain.
Idea worth spreading: Embrace complexity and guide its growth.
Brazilian ad agency AGE Isobar spent two years experimenting in order to grow fruits into the shape of Camp's juice boxes. Immature limes, guavas and passionfruit were packed inside of plastic molds. As they grew, they took on the form of a box and the logo of the brand.
The stunt ostensibly goes to show that Camp's fruit juice is all-natural. Though it's only a marketing gimmick, we can still hope for the days that food produces its own packaging – or be content knowing that bananas already do.

Some years ago we studied the heritage of Coca Cola as a health drink and presented a fictional product called Organic Coke. Back in 2008 this was merely a speculative design, created to stir a discussion on the use of natural imagery to market products.
As many people liked the idea of Organic Coke it obtained a certain presence & visibility on the Internet. Apparently some people at the Coca Cola company are now considering to actually bring Organic Coke to the market. At least, if this internal 'Situation Analysis Report' is genuine.
Be Brave, Be Optimistic, Be Different, Be Young, Take care of your BODY, Drink Organic Coke. Admittedly that slogan still needs some work, yet it would certainly be to our delight to see the green cans appearing in the supermarket. Yes, I still want my Organic Coke!

As our scientific knowledge of nutritious food increases, will healthy foods be progressively designed to look like medicines? This blueberry blister packaging created by Chinese designer Daizi Zheng certainly points in that direction.
Although utterly over-designed and unsustainably over-packaged, this might well be a product patients suffering from the healthy eating disease Orthorexia Nervosa would crave for.

The rock formations in the High Altitude photo series don't exist physically, yet they are very present in our society of simulations. The photos visualize the development of the leading global stock market indices over the past 20-30 years.
Each stock market index, such as the Dow Jones (shown above), Nikkei, Nasdaq or the more specific Lehman Brothers stock quote downfall, corresponds to a impeccably rendered unique mountain range. Photographer Michael Najjar used the images captured during his trek to Mount Aconcagua (6,962m) as the basis of the high altitude data visualizations.
Nature is a terrific marketing tool and corporations know this. Somehow the natural reference provides us with a familiar feeling of recognition and trust. We call this phenomenon Bio-mimic-marketing: using images of nature to market a product.

Earlier we have discussed the ECO currency, now here is an explanation video.
The ECO currency is an alternative currency to express environmental value. People who conduct labor in support of the environment receive ECO's from a global fund, which is financed via a micro bank tax on global financial transactions.
The idea for the ECO currency originates from the hypothesis that an important factor in our environmental crisis is the disconnect between the economic ecology and the environmental ecology: Environmental values are easily destroyed because they go unnoticed within the economical system. The aim of the ECO currency is to make environmental value explicit in economical terms. Would the rain forest still be destroyed if we could pay people to let the trees stand?
If you want to stay up to date on the project, there is always a Facebook page.

If this gasoline advertisement would be submitted to our infotizement contest, we would probably dismiss it for being too cynical and far fetched. Nonetheless, this ad was actually published in Life magazine in 1962. It shows pretty much the exact opposite image of what oil companies are trying to communicated today. If the letters are too small for you – and they are – here is the transcript:
"This giant glacier has remained unmelted for centuries. Yet, the petroleum energy Humble supplies- if converted into heat- could melt it at the rate of 80 tons each second! To meet the nation's growing needs for energy, Humble has applied science to nature's resources to become America's Leading Energy Company. Working wonders with oil through research, Humble provides energy in many forms- to help heat our homes, power our transportation, and to furnish industry with a great variety of versatile chemicals. Stop at a Humble station for new Enco Extra gasoline, and see why the "Happy Motoring" sign is the World's First Choice!"
Despite the ignorance of global warming and the environmental impact of oil drilling, they apparently were in 1962 already quite aware of the benefits of a biomimicmarketing strategy.
Via Boingboing, via Sociological Images, via MsMarx.
Over the past few months there has been a lot of commotion about the BP oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico. It is considered as the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. Many people think that BP's oil spill is in stark contrast with their biomimicmarketed flower logo, so to show the frustration LogoMyWay made a contest where people can send in their redesigned BP logo with a "more suitable design" (warning: cynicism alert).
So you thought the Razorius Gilletus essay was farsighted? Interestingly enough, Samsung is advertising its latest TV-set as a whole new species. Despite the obvious biomimicmarketing, could there be some coincidental evolutionary truth in that commercial?
Using energy is not a social activity. Every electrical device we use has its own carbon "foorpint" which, in excess, can harm other living beings. How and to what extent you've just killed a tree at the other side of the world by forgetting to switch off that electric heating, largely remains invisible. What if we could directly experience our electricity use?
With Natural Fuse, you can. Natural Fuse – by London based design studio Haque Design – creates a city-wide network of electronically-assisted plants that act both as energy providers and as circuit breakers. Natural Fuse is a system that harnesses the carbon-sinking capabilities of plants. It creates a community that adds a real social dimension to our energy-use. Natural Fuses are being distributed in London, New York and San Sebastian.
Nature conservation organizations – like the WWF and Greenpeace – typically present nature as a commodity that has become increasingly scarce and will be used up altogether if we don't act quickly.
Although this depiction intuitively makes sense, it seems to conflict with the idea of nature as pristine & untouched, which is promoted by the same organizations: How is it possible to perceive nature as untouched and consumed at the same time?
Presumably, the 'do not consume nature' campaigns should be interpreted as a critique on individuals and corporations who use up environmental value as a commodity. From that perspective things makes sense again, however, there is more to say about the tension between nature as untouched versus nature as a commodity.
Possibly this tension lies at the very root of our current environmental crisis. Exactly the romantic desire to perceive our natural environment as pristine, untouched and undefined, makes it trouble-free (read: cheap) to consume: No ownership, no responsibility.
Should we, in order to save the environment, begin to define it as in terms of value, ownership, e.g. as a commodity?
Imagine we would have an alternative monetary currency for environmental value. Would the rain forest still be destroyed if there existed an ECO–currency to express its value and pay farmers to let the trees stand? Designers of the Next Nature Lab are investigating how we can link economy with ecology. A proposal on how we can link economy with ecology.
The starting point of the ECO–currency(*) project is the hypothesis that an important factor in the ongoing environmental crisis is the disconnect between the economical ecology and the environmental ecology. With the latter we mean the ecology of plants, trees, animals, and other organic material. Whereas the economical ecology is defined by our financial system of market, money, goods and other economical exchange. Our second working hypothesis states that we could address environmental issues by linking the economical sphere and the environmental sphere in a better way than that is currently the case.
Comparing the two ecologies: The rain forest is a stable, self-sustainable and threatened ecosystem, whereas the financial system is a unstable and threatening ecosystem that feeds on the biosphere.

Let me first admit that my knowledge of computers and the internet is limited. Frankly, I'm pretty sure the technology that powers them both involves a lot of voodoo and magic. Maybe even the burning of exotic herbs somewhere near Seattle or Palo Alto. Now that you know my level of expertise, I hope you can answer my question in a simple, monosyllabic way that I can understand. I've lately become ever so slightly addicted to VMK. Every now and again, I'll be in the middle of a furious game of Castle Fireworks and just when I'm about to post the hugest score in the history of VMK, I am presented with a lovely navy blue box telling me my connection was lost. LOST!? Where did it go?

The following are some of the common symptoms individuals experience when suffering from clogged carotid arteries:
· Slurred speech lasting anywhere from a brief moment all the way up to a 24 hour period.
· Blurred vision or temporary blindness in one or both eyes, making it difficult to complete daily activities.
· Decrease in motor coordination skills, usually occurring on one side of the body.
· Muscle weakness or numbness occurring in your limbs or face.
· Dizziness or confusion.
Clogged carotid arteries are extremely dangerous as blood flow to the brain is limited or can even be momentarily interrupted, so see a cardiovascular surgeon in Beverly Hills if experiencing any of the above symptoms. When the brain tissues don't receive the oxygen and nutrients needed to operate, they shut down and result in a stroke. Brain cells begin to die within minutes and brain damage can occur, meaning abilities such as speech, movement or memory can be lost forever.
Up to 80 percent of strokes are preventable, so it's important to see a cardiovascular surgeon in Beverly Hills if experiencing any symptoms of clogged carotid arteries. If an individual has already experienced a stroke, it is even more important to seek treatment in order to reduce risk of a second stroke.
Carotid angioplasty is a procedure that will be used by a cardiovascular surgeon in Beverly Hills for the treatment of stroke or stroke prevention. It is much less invasive than traditional surgery, as only a small cut is made in the blood vessel of your groin. The following steps explain what to expect during an angioplasty and stenting operation:
· Using an x-ray for guidance, a catheter is threaded through a small tube, called a sheath, and is inserted into the artery.
· A filter is then put into place to catch pieces of debris that could potentially break off inside the artery while the physician is performing the procedure.
· Next, a balloon is inserted into the narrowed artery and inflated. This inflation will widen the artery to allow for an increase in blood flow and will force all plaque to the side.
· A stent is then placed to ensure that the artery does not shrink down and narrow again.
· The sheath, catheter and filter are than removed.
· Pressure is applied at the incision site to prevent bleeding.
After this simple procedure performed by a cardiovascular surgeon in Beverly Hills, patients are typically released from the hospital with a clean bill of health within a 48 hour period. If at risk of stroke, it's important to see a physician immediately to discuss options. It would also be beneficial to make lifestyle changes by eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking and exercising on a regular basis.
Dr. Madyoon of Beverly Hills Vein and Cardiovascular Institute is a highly accomplished cardiovascular surgeon in Beverly Hills. He is a leading specialist in the treatment of heart and vascular disease and is considered a pioneer in carotid stenting.

Summary form only given. Commodity clusters have enabled ambitious multiphysics or coupled modeling of complex, mutually interacting, computationally intensive systems in science and engineering. Each individual sub-system is represented as a component with its own parallel processor layout and requirements for temporal advance. A central challenge in developing such systems is the parallel coupling problem, which involves overall system architecture and the automation of component registration, distribution of the processor pool between individual components, parallel data transfer and transformation. There currently exist efficient mechanisms for automating parallel data transfer and transformation such as MCT and MPCCI. Mechanisms for top-level system integration, including component registration and resource allocation, scheduling, and control at runtime are less mature and face even greater challenges in heterogeneous environments. We will discuss the numerous architectural choices faced in framework and parallel coupled application development, and will illustrate them through a comparison of these mechanisms in four scientific application frameworks: the community climate system model, the space weather modeling framework, the earth system modeling framework, and the weather research and forecasting model. We will then discuss a more sophisticated set of requirements for automating these functions in application frameworks for heterogeneous clusters and computational grids

@wessywes2... The question isn't whether he'll be back, it's how much better will he be. #gameshape #thecomeback #nbaoffseason #nba
Word I hear is that Wes Matthews (@wessywes2) is ahead of schedule on his Achilles rehab and drawing interest from Toronto as well as Dallas
The Lakers and Rockets will get first shot at LaMarcus Aldridge, with meetings in Los Angeles as free agency begins Tuesday night. Aldridge will also meet with the Spurs, Mavs, Suns, Raptors and Knicks later in the week, sources tell ESPN. Blazers' return 'very unlikely'
Shout out to my high school teammate Jordan Mickey for getting drafted to Boston celtics
"Let's Be Great" #HeatNation
As he said over and over, Draymond Green is mtg w/ Warriors first before setting any other mtgs. If it goes well, he won't schedule any more
Sense I get from latest calls is Marc Gasol, Kevin Love & Millsap are staying put. Aldridge, Monroe & DJ are in play
Lakers & Rockets get the first crack at LaMarcus on Tuesday night. Spurs, Mavs, Suns, Raptors are in Wednesday. Knicks on Thursday.
Lakers calls when free agency begins Tuesday at 9:01 pm PT will be interesting. They'll talk to Aldridge, Monroe, Love, DJ, Gasol ASAP
Mavs have DeAndre Jordan meeting Wednesday morning, LaMarcus Aldridge that afternoon. Both in LA.
That said, I think there might be more Biyombo interest on Twitter than in real NBA. 1 team mentioned often --BOS-- not super interested yet
.@KlayThompson WENT OFF for 37 points in one quarter for most points in a quarter. Is it the best record breaker? es.pn/1RMIaJ0
Laker Fans... pic.twitter.com/0Gz6NkNy5z
Injury Update: @KyleKorver having surgery on his right elbow tomorrow to remove loose bodies. A timeline will be established post-surgery.
#Knicks "want to be in" the mix for FA guard Danny Green, per league sources. Green's interest in NYK is unclear at this point.
Charlotte did not tender Bismack Biyombo a qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent as of July 1, sources told ESPN's Chris Broussard. The 22-year-old big man averaged 4.8 PPG and 6.4 RPG last season. Hornets pass on QO
"I was nervous to send [Kobe Bryant] a long message and then just get an 'Okay,' or not a response at all. I'm just so, so glad he handled that in the manner he did. I still could be up here with a stomach in my knot, or a knot in my stomach. But he did a terrific job and I can't thank him enough for forgiving me." He's 'Mr. Bryant' to me

Full detailed profile on Michael Morgan Corinthos III Played by Chad Duell on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.

Useful information on Michael Morgan Corinthos III
* Recalled seeing Ric Lansing grab his mother when she went missing.
Current: Executive at ELQ Student
Michael has been the center of one battle after another since he was born. His mother, Carly, kept his paternity a secret, claiming that it was Jason rather than AJ who fathered her son. Jason stuck to the story to keep AJ from finding out.
Born with a serious heart condition, Michael needed immediate surgery and Jason made the life-saving decision and gave the doctors permission. Jason became a permanent part of Michael's life as the greedy Quartermaine's fought to get access to their newest heir.
When Michael's true paternity was finally revealed, a bitter custody battle ensued between Jason and the Quartermaines. The decision was joint-custody, but Jason feared that his profession would put Michael in harm's way, so he stepped aside.
With Sonny Corinthos marrying Carly, Michael was in jeopardy anyhow. The marriage between his mother and adoptive father was tumultuous, and Michael was always scheming to find ways to get them to reunite.
Michael and his siblings were kidnapped by the evil, Faith Roscoe, but with collective forces, including FBI agent, Reese Marshall, the children who were feared dead were all recovered safely.
When AJ was killed, Michael started having nightmares and imagined that he was the one who killed his biological father. A bout of therapy helped, and it turned out that he had only witnessed the deed.
In his young life, Michael has seen more than his share of violence and hatred. With a mob-boss father, there is always some sort of on-going crisis. Even his maternal grandfather, John Durant, used Michael as a tool to get a conviction against Sonny. Michael is a good older brother, and a loving son to both is parents, as well as Jax, his stepfather.
As his teen years drew near, Michael started to show some signs of wanting to be just like his (mobster!) father. He was caught buying a gun on the waterfront and went on to accidentally shoot his father's fiancee (Kate Howard) with it. She survived and he ultimately came clean about what he had done. Sonny felt responsible for it and tried to turn the page on his business life. He went 'legit' and focused only on his coffee importing business. On the night that he showed Michael his new business, Michael took a bullet in the head that was intended for his father.
Sonny was filled with guilt, but Carly just broke apart. Only after it became clear that their son would never recover from his brain injury did they move him to a long-term care facility in upstate New York.
Michael underwent a controversial operation, which enabled him to wake up from his coma. He had a hard time adjusting to life again and often reacted angrily and violently to situations. When Claudia kidnapped Carly and tried to take off with her baby, Michael swung an axe handle at her head, which killed her.
Carly, Jason and Sonny did their best to protect Michael from the cops and when Sonny was charged with her murder, Michael was sent to the island so he wouldn't confess. However, during Sonny's trial, Dante told the judge Michael was the one who shot Claudia.
Michael was sent to prison where he was menaced by fellow inmate Carter. Jason brokered a deal to be sent to prison so he could protect his nephew. Dante eventually got Michael released early, but not before the damage had been done.
Once free, Michael had trouble fitting in with kids his own age. Sam introduced him to a stripper, Abby, she met while working undercover and despite their age difference, they struck up a close friendship.
Michael saw Abby getting beaten up by her ex-boyfriend and pulled him off her, just as it seemed he was about to rape her. This caused all of his memories of Carter to come flooding to the surface and he eventually confessed to Jason and his mother that he was raped in prison.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Michael and Jake work to come up with a way to get ELQ away from Nikolas. As Jake talks about honor and the importance of it, which Nikolas lacks, Michael tells him that he sounds exactly like his Uncle Jason. Jake says Spinelli felt he reminded him of Jason too. They discuss Jason for a bit before they get back to the matter at hand and try and figure out how to get some of the shares back. Jake thinks Nikolas has to have a secret that they can blackmail him with.
Michael wakes up in his bed with Sabrina. It takes him a minute to remember that his sister is with Sonny. He doesn't regret it or spending the night with her. They're unemployed so they have time for morning sex. After that, he asks her to help box up the baby's things.

First pictures are in showing just some of the devastation that Hurricane Ike has brought with it.
Marina in Houston was ''full of yachts yesterday'' - pictures from worst hit Galveston 'can only get worse'
As Hurricane Ike crossed the coastline at the sailing and yachting centre of Galveston Texas, it pushed a mound of water in front probably 25 feet higher than the level of the ocean. The surge involves some incredible feats of physics, and in many hurricanes it's the leading cause of death.
Galveston Island was destroyed at least once before by a major hurricane in 1900, began to see the Ike-related water creeping up along its beaches Thursday and by Friday, parts of the city of Galveston were flooded by the surge coming in from Galveston Bay.
And, 'it's only going to get worse,' said Lance Wood, the Science and Operations Officer for the Houston/Galveston National Weather Service (NWS) office.

This paper presents theoretical and experimental results of a low-power-consuming hybrid push-pull self-oscillating mixer (SOM) circuit at the UHF frequency band. The frequency-stable SOM circuit is designed and fabricated using matched-pair Si bipolar junction transistors and high-Q resonators, where measured phase noise of this free-running voltage-controlled oscillator is -101.2 dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset. A 20-dB up-conversion gain, a compression dynamic range (CDR) of 65 dB·MHz, and a spurious-free dynamic range of 50 dB·MHz 2/3 are also measured for the mixer portion of this SOM. Moreover, a down-conversion gain of ≈-2 dB with a CDR of 100 dB·MHz is also measured
