As part of the Digital Futures Program at OCAD U, we were asked to create an interactive installation which made someone feel something tangible. This was as much a design challenge as it was a technical skill based objective.
Using really simple moving parts and of the shelf sensors, I tried to bring to life this strange looking creature that I called Gunther. Playing on a very human emotion of curiosity and fear, I created the installation called 'Like or Dislike'.
When a person approaches Gunther, he chooses to either come and greet the person or get scared and hide. This felt really true for people too and that's why it made for an exploration worth investigating.
Using an Arduino circuit board, multiple servo motors and a ultrasonic distance sensor, I was able to mimic motion and introduce randomness into the world, thus creating something which doesn't always do what you tell it to do or what you expect it to do.
My initial concept was built on facial recognition software built on Processing, however keeping in mind the human element and size of what I had in mind, I chose to go with something much simpler.
While coming up with the concept of my piece, I looked at what we as humans consider to be human in a way. From animated cartoon films to stuff toys and smilie faces. This project was as much about understanding how people function as it was understanding how Gunther was meant to function.

A level crossing sign
Back in my youth level crossings – where a road and a railway cross on the level – were places to be enjoyed. The one in my home village of Ifield was totally manually operated. The level crossing keeper came out of his little bungalow and pushed the gates so that the road was entirely shut off. With four trains an hour plus goods trains and specials he was tolerably busy.
In the town of Crawley there was a proper signal box and the operator had a huge wheel in it which operated the gates. That was a job I really fancied. The signal box still exists in Crawley but without actual function. The level crossing gates are entirely automatic.
On our recent trip to the Swanage Railway we popped in the little museum at Corfe Castle Station and my eyes immediately lit on an old road sign.
This was the level crossing sign from those long ago days when I was a kid and it was enough to bring memories flooding back. When roads were nothing like so busy, level crossings were more common. Some of them were barely used and I recall long waits at Southease in Sussex for somebody to open the gates for a car. On one occasion at a long wait there, a peacock appeared and saw its reflection in the chrome hub caps of the day. The peacock saw this reflection as a rival and attacked it. It was quite humorous to watch and one would like to think it was a learning experience for the bird.
Yes, memories streamed through my mind – often in that corner of Sussex near Lewes. A cement quarry line crossed the road and had no gates – quite a different road sign for that – and just once a little train chugged across.
Hand operated gates must be just about a thing of the past now. The modern automatic raising barriers seem less safe but in many cases bridges have been built to replace the crossings. But my old memories remain.

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of electric charge. Although initially considered a phenomenon separate from magnetism, since the development of Maxwell's equations, both are recognized as part of a single phenomenon: electromagnetism. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others.
When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, a force will act on it. The magnitude of this force is given by Coulomb's law. Thus, if that charge were to move, the electric field would be doing work on the electric charge. Thus we can speak of electric potential at a certain point in space, which is equal to the work done by an external agent in carrying a unit of positive charge from an arbitrarily chosen reference point to that point without any acceleration and is typically measured in volts.

yesterday i went to Pejaten Village to watch Knowing film with some pals. i was so excited, soalnya pas gue baca resensinya di majalah gue pikir filmya bagus. Ternyata filmnya emang bagussss bgt, but unfortunately, the ending is quite jerks, no sense banget, i can't tell you the ending so you must watch it for yourself :)
i will tell you some review, 50 years ago(1959), theres a girl named Lucinda(Lara Robinson) wrote so many strange numbers in her paper, and that paper was put in time capsule in underground. and now(2009) the time capsule is open and a boy,Caleb(Chandler Canterbury) got that paper. Her father, a scientist named Prof, Jonathan Koestler(Nicolas Cage) see it and that numbers obviously show the disasters that happened in this 5 decades!

A Stadium with a View
London's oldest professional football team.
Fulham Football Club are based in Fulham...funnily enough and are commonly known as the 'The Cottagers' or 'The Whites', in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
Founded in 1879, they celebrated their 125th anniversary in 2004. They are the oldest professional football team in London, usually considered to have been founded in 1879, (though Cray Wanderers F.C. are the oldest team in London still in existence).
They currently play at Craven Cottage, their famous home since 1896, a riverside ground on the banks of the River Thames.
Fulham started its existence in 1879 as Fulham St Andrew's Church Sunday School, founded by worshippers at the C of E church on Star Road, West Kensington, which still stands today with a plaque commemorating the team's foundation.
Their current owner and keen footie goer is Mohamed Abdel Moneim Fayed, an Egyptian businessman and billionaire who also owns the Harrods department store in Knightsbridge.

Monday of the First Week of Advent
My dad's parents emigrated from Austria. Like so many immigrants, they moved to a new land that offered more promise: better work, more food, safety, freedom, opportunity. With welcome and support from their new communities here, they thrived.
Our Judeo-Christian faith history is filled with the stories of people who left their homes to escape war, persecution, and famine, in search of a better place to live. What was true thousands of years ago continues to be true today: We all want to live where we and our families can prosper and grow.
Today's first reading talks about how people from all nations will flock to the new Jerusalem. But the Lord imposes terms. There is a cost: beat swords into plowshares, spears into pruning hooks. For those accustomed to battling and defending themselves, this must have seemed too risky, too high a cost for many. But others responded as described in today's responsorial psalm: "I rejoiced because they said to me, 'We will go up to the house of the Lord'".
Immigrants continue to rejoice when the opportunity for a better life presents itself, despite the risk and cost. Many come to the United States, to Minnesota, to our community here at St. Thomas.
How shall we treat them, these immigrants who are starting a new life? These people who may look different, speak a different language, have different beliefs and ways of doing things?
Today's gospel gives us insight.
Jesus is approached by a centurion who informs him that his servant is sick. This was not an immigrant, but rather an enemy, an officer in an occupying army.
Yet Jesus offered to go and cure the servant, to provide help where it was needed.
During this Advent season, I am mindful of three decisions I face, which will require courage, and will both benefit me and exact a cost from me:

SERVO-DRIVE fascinating opening
How many times have you been in that uncomfortable position where both hands are full, but you need to open the bin? Or you have dirty hands from preparing a meal and need to get an extra knife from the cutlery drawer. It is often the small things that tip the scales; drawers or wall cabinets equipped with SERVO-DRIVE electrical opening support system will lesson workloads and support you in your daily kitchen tasks.
SERVO-DRIVE electrical motion support enhances comfort and freedom of motion. Drawer, pull-outs and lift systems open as if by themselves.

TIP-on can be used in handle-less applications where there are no electrical outlets and in less frequently used cabinets such as in bathrooms and living areas.

With the Fast and Furious series continuing to zoom past the competition year after year, it makes sense that studios are on the lookout for more potential franchises centered around driving fast cars at high speeds. To that end, Warner Bros. has reportedly just enlisted Etan Cohen -- not to be confused with Coen brother Ethan -- to write and direct a remake of the 1981 action-comedy The Cannonball Run. Cohen is perhaps best known as a screenwriter, having penned the scripts for Tropic Thunder and Men in Black 3, although he did recently make his feature directing debut with the 2015 Will Ferrell/Kevin Hart comedy Get Hard.
For those unfamiliar, The Cannonball Run was directed by stuntman-turned-filmmaker Hal Needham (Smokey and the Bandit), and featured an all-star cast that included names like Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Jackie Chan, and "Rat Pack" members Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin. The premise was fairly simple: teams of two gather to compete in an illegal, cross-country road race. Of course, this being a comedy, lots of wacky hijinks and circumstances ensue that prevent the race from being a simple trip from point A to point B.
The original Cannonball Run was a huge hit at the box office, earning over $72 million domestically on an estimated $18 million budget. A direct sequel -- titled simply Cannonball Run II -- was released in 1984 and featured the return of Needham and much of the original cast, but failed to live up to its predecessor financially. A loosely related third entry called Speed Zone (a.k.a. Cannonball Fever) came out in 1989, although the only thing it had in common with the first two was the race itself. A Guy Ritchie directed Cannonball Run remake was reportedly in the works back in 2011, but the project never got off the ground.
Considering Cohen's track record in the world of Hollywood comedy, it's not too surprising that Warner Bros. decided to tap him for this assignment. Especially since two of his projects -- Tropic Thunder and MIB 3 -- successfully blended comedy with action. On the other hand, while the Cannonball Run series certainly has its fans, it may not have the brand recognition of other '80s action-comedy hits like Beverly Hills Cop and The Naked Gun. Additionally, the franchise did not end on a positive note with audiences at the time, going out not with a bang but a whimper.
The concept of an unlawful cross-country street race is definitely one ripe with potential for a modern spin, but the name Cannonball Run likely won't be enough to attract the masses on its own. If Warner Bros. hopes to reignite the Cannonball Run franchise, casting will make all the difference -- in much the same way names like Reynolds and Fawcett helped draw interest to the property in 1981. If Cohen can call upon big names from his previous films like Ferrell, Hart, Stiller, Downey, and Smith, Cannonball Run might carve out a niche for itself in the crowded Hollywood landscape going forward. If cast improperly, though, this race might never make it over the starting line with moviegoers.
The Cannonball Run remake is in early development, and has no current release date.

The Anti-Defamation League is now involved with the investigation of the San Francisco attack on Elie Wiesel, a world-renowned author and Holocaust survivor.
As The Examiner first reported Friday, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning author was dragged out of an elevator at the Argent Hotel on Feb. 1 by an alleged Holocaust denier who had been trailing him for weeks.
Wiesel, who was in town to speak at the RockRose Institute's World Conference 2007, was not badly hurt, and was immediately escorted by police to the San Francisco International Airport.
The league, which regularly tracks the activities of known Holocaust deniers and extremists, has assigned staffers to determine whether Eric Hunt, the man claiming responsibility for the attack, is using an alias to slip past authorities and to post messages online, according to Jonathan Bernstein, director of the Anti-Defamation League's San Francisco chapter.
In a posting Tuesday on the anti-Zionist Web site ZioPedia, a visitor by the name of Eric Hunt took credit for the attack on Wiesel. Since then, police have tracked Hunt back to the East Coast, according to Bernstein.
"We've spent some time seeing if it's an alias," Bernstein said. "That's what we've been doing since Friday, but we're not turning anything up."
Activity has increased among Holocaust deniers in recent years, according to Bernstein. Some groups have begun purchasing advertising space in college newspapers asking students to question the history of the events that lead to the deaths of approximately 6 million Jews."It's important for us to educate people about the motives (for Holocaust denial), because now more than ever it's being used as a tool to advance anti-Semitism," Bernstein said.

Aidin Vaziri | There aren't many museum exhibitions devoted to the life of a concert promoter. Then again, Bill Graham wasn't just any concert promoter. And his was no ordinary life.
For a quarter of a century, Graham was rock 'n' roll's greatest live music impresario. Between his inconspicuous start with a benefit concert for the San Francisco Mime Troupe at the original Fillmore Auditorium in 1965 to his death at age 60 in a helicopter crash on his way home from a performance by Huey Lewis and the News at the Concord Pavilion in October 1991, the Bay Area mogul fundamentally changed the live music business.
During his reign, Graham, a special inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, established the Fillmore franchise, shepherded the evolution of stadium tours and produced one-of-a-kind rock 'n' roll events such as the Band's "Last Waltz" and Live Aid; in the process helping to launch the careers of acts like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin.
This year marks what would have been Graham's 85th birthday, and to celebrate the occasion, his life story will be the subject of the exhibit "Bill Graham and the Rock & Roll Revolution," at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, which opens Thursday, March 17 and runs through July 5.
The retrospective, featuring everything from vintage psychedelic concert posters to a battered pair of Keith Richards' leather boots, was originally produced for the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles last year — inspired by a much smaller show at the Jazz Heritage Center in San Francisco in 2011.
"His particular story, that biographical narrative, has so much richness," says Lori Starr, the executive director of the Contemporary Jewish Museum. "Great museum shows tell great stories, and his story is a great story."

I know it's absolutely ridiculous, that I can even be upset with him. I'm pissed off with the both of them. I don't have a good reason but I am. Victoria standings in front of me telling me all this and she wants me to be happy. Why exactly would I be happy? Then again she doesn't even know. I wonder if I should tell her? But if I tell her would she think different of me? She would probably call me a liar and a backstabber. I don't know if she would ever trust me again.
"Christina are you even listening to me?", Victoria asks as she snaps her finger in my face. I quickly snap back to the conversation, "My bad I was thinking about something else". She shook her head and drops herself onto the couch, "Well can you please come back to earth, because I really need your help to make a decision". This is the most interesting thing I've ever heard in my life. She wants me to help her make a decision, on whether she should move in with my man. I have no right to say my man but that's the way it has always been. "Okay, do you really want to move in with him?". Victoria is silent for a second before actually responding to me, "I think I do. I don't know what it is, about him he makes me feel different. I wasn't looking to feel anything but I do. I don't want to make a dumb mistake but he's pulling in every word. I've never been so valuable to anyone. Christina you don't even understand, this shit got me twisted. Embarrassing for me to say out loud".
She said this shit got her twisted, This shit got me twisted. Victoria is a woman, who doesn't fall for anyone. Has now fallen in love with Omar. I really wish this is a joke she's playing.
"Damnit Christina, are you even listening to me? Every time that you're complaining about Trey, I listen. Even when I think what you're saying is dumb, I still listen. Now I'm dealing with this shit and you keep tuning out. I find that very disrespectful", she says that she gets up off the couch and stands directly in front of me.
"I promise you I'm not doing it intentionally, but I have a lot going on right now. I promise I'm listening", I said trying to convince her continuing, "If you feel like that's the best decision for you, then follow your heart. Don't do it with the intention that you're going to get something out of it. Just be genuine". My began phone ringing. When I look at the screen, a smile appeared on my face. I quickly pick up the phone and respond with complete excitement, "Hey what's up?". The voice on the other end of the phone spoke, "I was just thinking about you and thought I'd call. I miss you already, maybe I overreacted maybe we can figure something out". I'm listening to him speak smiling inside, then I look over at Victoria and a smile appears on my face, again. I then respond, "Oh really, that sounds great but I can't talk right now. Victoria is over here giving me the best news". The voice on the other end of the phone didn't speak again. There's silence on the phone for a couple seconds before I respond, "You too bye". I'm laughing inside because I know what happens next. Omar is going to show up at my house. He's going to try to convince me that what I have been told is far from the truth. He's going to beg me to forgive him. I've played this game so many times and I'm ready for it this time.
"Who was that?", Victoria ask as she flips through her phone. I just put my phone down and respond, " my nosy ass cousin, that girl is so annoying". Victoria looks up at me, "Your mother's sisters daughter?". I just quickly respond, "Yeah that one".
"Back to what I was saying, should I do it?", Victoria asks again. I know she only wants to hear one answer so I just tell her what she wants to hear, "Of course you should move in with him". She jumps up off the couch and hug me ridiculously tight, "I knew you would give me the best advice", she said as she grabs her things and run out of the front door.
After she leaves, I went in the bathroom to take a long hot shower. As I'm standing underneath the scorching hot water. I begin to think about everything that's going on. The fog from the hot water fills the entire bathroom. All the pain I've been feeling isn't in my control, but being underneath the hot water is all I can control. I stand there close to what seems like an hour, crying my eyes out. All of this doesn't seem fair. Im always tried to play my cards right, I always try to be a good person but things, of this nature, always happens to me. After giving myself time from all the crying. I finally shut the water off and step out of the tub. I made my way to my bedroom and underneath my sheets. I toss and turn for an hour to get some sleep but nothing. After getting tired in the same spot I get up and go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, hoping that would finally put me to sleep. As I turn on the stove, I heard a knock at the door. My first instinct told me to ignore it. I honestly don't want to talk to anyone. Before I can continue, I heard rattling at the door. Speeding into the room, I grab the first shirt that I could find.
Before I can walk back into the kitchen Omar stands right in front of me. Him appearing out of nowhere, almost makes me trip over my own foot as I step back. I forgot that Omar knows where I kept my spare key. Whenever he's in the mood, he uses the key to let himself in and cooks for me. Whenever I have something on my mind, I eat with no guidance and Omar makes the best stress food. He makes his famous barbecue baked ribs, turkey neck collar greens, baked beans and cornbread. I always joke around telling him, he can make the perfect housewife with that kind of cooking. This is the side of Omar that many will never see. Omar and I have gotten into it so many times because of females. I have no right to get upset but I do. I'm so used to it now, that I just get upset for the steamy hot sex that occurs after our arguments. He stands in front of me are waiting for me to speak. I just act like he doesn't exist and walk around him, to the kitchen, where the hot water is boiling on the stove. I walk over to the stove to turn it off but as I'm about to put my hand on the dial, Omar came from behind me and turns it off before I can. I can feel him breathing on my neck waiting for me utter my first words. He finally says, "Are you hungry?". I ignore every word that came out of his mouth, reaching up into the cabinet to grab a teabag. He notices that I'm struggling so he grabs a teabag and places it in my cup and then pour the hot water on top of it. He knows how I like my tea. He finishes it up and handed it to me. Still not speaking to him, I grab my tea and took my first sip as I lean on the counter. "Are you going to at least say something?", he says with frustration. I look at him and finally reply, "What exactly would you like me to say?". He respond guilty, " I don't know, whatever you want to say, just say something". I feel like I have the right not to speak to him. He's the one that keeps making irrational decisions and this time its with my friend. Everything in me begin boiling so I just blurt out, "So are you really going to move in with her?". He looks me directly in my eyes and shakes his head, "If she accepts, I have no choice but to allow her to move in. Besides I haven't had a woman around the house in a while. I actually miss it". Before I can even respond to his ignorance my phone rang. Omar looks at me waiting for me to make a move, so remain in the same position. After a few moments, he gets irritated and follows the ringing to finds my phone in the couch. When he picks it up the screen read Trey. I can see the anger in his face. He immediately answered the phone, "I'm gonna say this once, don't call this number back again". Before Trey gets a word out, Omar hangs up the phone then glances at me. "What the fuck is your problem", I say as I rush over to him and grab my phone out of his hand continuing, "You have no fucking right to come in my house, pick up my phone and hang up on someone". I view the last call and try to call back. As soon as the phone touches my ear he snatches the phone and ends the call. "Get out", I try to say calmly. "I'm not going nowhere", he says standing unapologetic in front of me. I want so bad to pick something up and hit him with it but I can't. I just repeat myself with a more intense tone, "Get Out". It takes everything out of me to keep my cool with this man. Eventually I'm out raged at the fact that Omar is standing in front of me refusing to leave my apartment. I don't know what's gotten into me but the next thing I know I had a knife in his face. As I'm standing here reflecting on the fact that I'm holding a knife in front of his face I gather my thoughts. Before I can actually put my knife down, Omar reaches in the back of his pants and pulling out his gun. Pointing it directly in my face he then says, "Christina put your knife down, this is not what you want to do right now". The last time Omar and I went toted toe, it didn't work out well. I'm standing here looking in his eyes. While crying my eyes out, I say once more, "Please get out".

Several United Nations (UN) agencies and relief partners have launched the largest-ever funding appeal for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
According to the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the 2018 appeal – totalling $1.68-billion – aims to reach 10.5-million vulnerable people across the nation, where over 13-million are in need of assistance.
"The past year has been one of the most difficult for millions of civilians, with unrelenting cycle of violence, diseases, malnutrition and loss of livelihoods taking a toll on families," Kim Bolduc, the Humanitarian Coordinator in the DRC, said in the capital Kinshasa, in launching the appeal on Thursday.
"This appeal reflects the magnitude, severity and unpredictability of a crisis that has gone on for far too long. We are grappling with one of the world's largest, most acute, and complex humanitarian crisis."
According to OCHA, there are now some 4.3-million internally displaces persons (IDPs) across DRC – the highest number in Africa – and the country is also grappling with the worst cholera outbreak in the past 15 years.
On the food and nutrition front, over 7.7-million suffer are food insecure, a 30 percent increase over the previous year.
Aid operations in the country are struggling with severe underfunding and only half of the $812.5-million humanitarian response for 2017 was funded.
"Without the essential support of the humanitarian community, the survival of thousands of people is at risk, and hopes of early recovery will be dashed," Bolduc stressed.
"We must ensure sufficient funding so to match the magnitude of the crisis."
