In The Art of Tony Calzetta: A Retrospective, Tom Smart explores the prints, drawings, paintings and bookworks of Tony Calzetta. Smart chronicles Calzetta's early influences in order to document the evolution of the artist's unique and complex visual aesthetic. The article further explains how Calzetta's artistic background led him to create a collaborative visual narrative with poet Leon Rooke and printmaker Dieter Grund, entitled How God Talks in His Sleep and Other Fabulous Fictions.
What if you could someday put the manufacturing power of an automobile plant on your desktop? It may sound far-fetched-but then, thirty years ago, the notion of "personal computers" in every home sounded like science fiction. According to Neil Gershenfeld, the renowned MIT scientist and inventor, the next big thing is personal fabrication -the ability to design and produce your own products, in your own home, with a machine that combines consumer electronics with industrial tools. Personal fabricators (PF's) are about to revolutionize the world just as personal computers did a generation ago. PF's will bring the programmability of the digital world to the rest of the world, by being able to make almost anything-including new personal fabricators. In FAB , Gershenfeld describes how personal fabrication is possible today, and how it is meeting local needs with locally developed solutions. He and his colleagues have created "fab labs" around the world, which, in his words, can be interpreted to mean "a lab for fabrication, or simply a fabulous laboratory." Using the machines in one of these labs, children in inner-city Boston have made saleable jewelry from scrap material. Villagers in India used their lab to develop devices for monitoring food safety and agricultural engine efficiency. Herders in the Lyngen Alps of northern Norway are developing wireless networks and animal tags so that their data can be as nomadic as their animals. And students at MIT have made everything from a defensive dress that protects its wearer's personal space to an alarm clock that must be wrestled into silence. These experiments are the vanguard of a new science and a new era-an era of "post-digital literacy" in which we will be as familiar with digital fabrication as we are with the of information processing. In this groundbreaking book, the scientist pioneering the revolution in personal fabrication reveals exactly what is being done, and how. The technology of FAB will allow people to create the objects they desire, and the kind of world they want to live in.

When Rosemary Conley appeared on Dancing on Ice at the age of 65 looking younger and fitter than many of the contestants on there, she proved that her diet and exercise programmes really work. She is an inspiration to thousands of people and her diets are effective, simple and easy to follow. Here's what some of the people who have tried it say: THE FAT ATTACK BOOSTER DIET The Fat Attack Booster (FAB) Diet has been tried and tested for six months and the results are astonishing. ‘I lost 2 stone in 7 weeks. It really is a FAB diet!’ said Becki Gordon. ‘I lost 12 lbs in my first week and I am so motivated to keep going on this eating plan. The FAB Diet is so easy AND I’m eating normal food!’ said Robert Carr. Based on everyday healthy food the FAB Diet is so versatile it caters for all tastes and lifestyles. Select from the ‘High Protein’ or the ‘Carb-based’ menu plans, or go for the ‘Vegetarian’ choice. There are also menus incorporating ready meals, and/or desserts. You choose. And to make your selection even easier, they are all colour-coded so you can see at a glance which you want.
An entertaining mathematical exploration of the heat equation and its role in the triumphant development of the trans-Atlantic telegraph cable Heat, like gravity, shapes nearly every aspect of our world and universe, from how milk dissolves in coffee to how molten planets cool. The heat equation, a cornerstone of modern physics, demystifies such processes, painting a mathematical picture of the way heat diffuses through matter. Presenting the mathematics and history behind the heat equation, Hot Molecules, Cold Electrons tells the remarkable story of how this foundational idea brought about one of the greatest technological advancements of the modern era. Paul Nahin vividly recounts the heat equation’s tremendous influence on society, showing how French mathematical physicist Joseph Fourier discovered, derived, and solved the equation in the early nineteenth century. Nahin then follows Scottish physicist William Thomson, whose further analysis of Fourier’s explorations led to the pioneering trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. This feat of engineering reduced the time it took to send a message across the ocean from weeks to minutes. Readers also learn that Thomson used Fourier’s solutions to calculate the age of the earth, and, in a bit of colorful lore, that writer Charles Dickens relied on the trans-Atlantic cable to save himself from a career-damaging scandal. The book’s mathematical and scientific explorations can be easily understood by anyone with a basic knowledge of high school calculus and physics, and MATLAB code is included to aid readers who would like to solve the heat equation themselves. A testament to the intricate links between mathematics and physics, Hot Molecules, Cold Electrons offers a fascinating glimpse into the relationship between a formative equation and one of the most important developments in the history of human communication.
