July 28th, 2010 The First 3D Promotional Video Shooted in Our City

An prize winning filmmaker has added to his accomplishments by releasing the 1st 3D promo vid made in the Capital.

Andrew Murchie, who lately won a business award for his 3D short film FourPlay, filmed and edited the promo vid over several months. The video, claimed to be the 1st home-made in Scotland, shows the filmmaker - who is also the tunesmith and performer - as a collection of holograms performing the track Gloria ( the passing of Me ). The creation uses stereoscopic technology to create theatre quality 3D at full HD resolution that may work with both the old red and blue 3D glasses and the complete range of modern 3D TV and theatre projection systems, including full background music system. Mr Murchie recounted : “The video has been over half a year in the making. A lot of the time has been testing the 3D to get the ideal effect for each shot. It’s vital the 3-dimensional effect is controlled to give the most satisfactory results without engendering the headaches so common with badly made 3D films. ” Making the video’s hologram projection look was the most time-intensive challenge. It’s a bit like making the Star Wars scene where Princess Leia beams from R2D2, although not as sexy! “.

June 16th, 2010 Genetic Human Code Should We Tinker?

Should mankind be tinkering with his genetic code? Should we be messing with Mother Nature’s evolution? Should we be screwing with our DNA, extending life and messing around with stem cells? Ah, the great debate rages on. However maybe we should consider that evolution is changing us all the time anyway.

You see in 10,000 or 30,000 years we will advance without science anyway and so much will change, sure we may look similar but hardly be the same? Yes our DNA will still be within 1-2% even if we do nothing by that time. Those who argue for manipulation of the species remind us of these facts and say if we can make humans better, why wouldn’t we? Why shouldn’t we cure cancer, make ourselves smarter, wiser and stronger? Why not make our immune systems better, make us perform better with less food intake? After all the argue, we are increasing our human population on Earth and will not have enough food or water in the future if something is not done.

We will either have to modify our environment or ourselves or slow down our procreation, but if we do nothing, as scientists warn we are headed for a disaster. Few could argue that the present path of the human species is a dead end. But it does not have to be so. As we learn more we can begin the process of slowly bettering ourselves for life on this planet and beyond. Think on it.

June 1st, 2010 Electro Magnetic Fields and the Human Bio-System

Are we hurting our Human Bio-Systems with too many electronic gadgets around us? Cell phones, microwave ovens, radios, satellite TV, computers, WiFi, WiMax, radar detectors, automatic door openers, iPods, burglar alarms and electrical appliances are everywhere and all around us. And that is not all as we have Airports with radar, high-tension power lines and microwave repeaters.

All this technology is scrambling our natural evolution some may actually increase our cognitive abilities by hyper charging our brains, while the rest is really not very good for us at all. How bad is the problem? Well we seem to all still be here right? Although some types of cancer are on the rise and thus this frequency pollution is affecting our electro-magnetic fields and our human bio-systems.

Does this mean those of use who are into high-tech gadgets are hurting the world? Does this mean we should not promote more technology such as robotics, net-centric cars and better communication devices with future human interface capabilities? Well probably we should pay attention to what we are doing however we must also look at the benefits as well.

Personally I see benefits in having assistance from robotics, so people do not have to work in factories and can enjoy their time thinking and enjoying life. Most of us have been able to overcome distractions of technology such as cell phones or high tension power lines, although they do affect us a little whether we choose to address the issue or not. Additionally I concur with Plato’s ideas that indeed people should do what they are best at, and be alleviated from that which they are not and when they are, “We” are all the better for it. So if we can use these tools to make human life easier we may find that the benefits and removal of stress in our life will be better for us in the long run than any detriment from the frequency pollution we create.

One most also consider that in the future we can use those energy fields too, as it is energy, so use it and convert it. I also believe we can cancel out negative frequency for instance:

http://worldthinktank.net/wttbbs/index.php?s=e276a9b3592c8b344f945cd8814c256f&showtopic=119

http://worldthinktank.net/wttbbs/index.php?s=e276a9b3592c8b344f945cd8814c256f&showtopic=65

http://worldthinktank.net/wttbbs/index.php?s=e276a9b3592c8b344f945cd8814c256f&showtopic=576

http://www.worldthinktank.net/art109.shtml

Also as human civilizations address these higher frequency ranges we should note that we can co-exist with technology using the higher frequency ranges without hurting our Bio-systems VLFs, ELFs and ULFs. For instance although they do affect human behavior somewhat we all experience solar flares, cosmic radiation, Earth Frequencies and we seem to be doing okay so far. The human bio-system can work without worry and it can actually take a whole lot of energy. Some believe it adversely affects human life in our world and has made everyone stupid and as an example they point to the French Riots? But the French are always up to something, so indeed, that is not proof positive either and so the debate goes on. Think on this.

November 2nd, 2009 Increasing Lift via Vortex Eddies with a Pre Leading Edge Device

One great revelation in the aerospace industry is designing wings, which create small cyclone airflows over the wing. The mini-horizontal Tornadoes “suck” the wing up ward as the airflows go over the top of the surface. Now then in speaking of such induced above wing turbulence and vortex eddies a though had occurred. I had an idea and concept of creating a pre-leading edge devices, that would pop out from the leading edge of an aircraft and there would be 30 per wing.

These protruding devices would pop out and stick up from the top of the leading edge about 8-10 inches at a 22 degree angle with a shape which started a violent vortex rotation of the relative wind over the wing. Used for take off and landing, instead of or in addition to slats. This would improve lift and allow us to shorten the wings and thus allow for better high-speed characteristics and less parasite drag. This also means less weight for the aircraft, which would translate to fuel economy. Less fuel needed for intended range would increase useful load and thus make the entire project worthy of further investigation and prototype development to prove concept? Think on this.

April 3rd, 2009 Bee Colonies and Scouts

Everyone in a Bee Colony has a specific job, which they are physically made for. When bees swarm they work together as a team and these little creatures can take down huge animals. How do they do it and who decides? Well the Scouts seem to be on the look out and when they see a threat they alert the hive to be on stand by or even attack.

Recently this point was brought up in an online think tank when a member asked; “There is a signal given by a scout that triggers a defense mechanism, which results in the swarm response.”

Okay then the “scout” is getting a different hormonal bath in the larva chamber, which causes it to grow an appendage, which allows it to do this function. Scouts are slightly differently designed than the other bees too. If we find that appendage that is different and that could be one of the body parts which makes one of the multiple resonance to provide a unique combination and/or a specific sound vibration to alert the hive then perhaps the bee uses this method.

Additionally if the Scout alerts the others, how; body language or something extra allowing it too and even if humans cannot figure out how they do it exactly, we know that these little creatures mean business when they get busy and swarm to protect their hives.

We know a lot about bees, but we really do not know as much as we should. We could sure learn a lot from them and how they do things. We would be smart in figuring it all out wouldn’t we? Consider all this in 2006.
