Glenalmond produce metal wood cutting blades for cutting and shaping wood. The timber has been known to contain bullets, which damage the cutters. Above is part of a machine that can be used to examine the damage.

queer and rare fishes of new zealand

... from THE QUEER AND RARE FISHES OF NEW ZEALAND BY ARTHUR W. PARROTT

THE INFAMOUS RIBBONFISH - agrostichthys parkeri.

Each fish is born printed with a musical score, the complexity of which gradually evolves with age. The perforated ribbonfish can be coiled up and fed into the barrel of a player piano, as was popular in the late 19th century thus bringing about the species' near extinction. The ribbonfish dislikes dissonance and in general a ribbonfish tune will be simple and catchy like a nursery rhyme.

new map

"The World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM) shows the variation in strength of the magnetic field after the Earth's dipole field has been removed. Earth's dipole field is generated by circulating electric currents in the planet's metal core. It varies from 35,000 nanoTesla (nT) at the Equator to 70,000 nT at the poles."


"After removal of the dipole field anomalies, the variations in the field (few hundreds of nT) are due to changes in the magnetic properties of the crustal rocks themselves.

Hot colours (reds) indicate high values; cold colours (blues) indicate low or negative values of the magnetic field strength."

So for eg. the Atlantic is striped as the plates are moving apart here and creating new rock. The earth's magnetic fields reverse periodically and this is recorded in the rock at the time it forms.

good fact from geology - the northern hemisphere is more dusty than the southern hemisphere. This partly natural, because the northern hemisphere has a greater land mass. It is also because of the pollution caused by the many large cities in the northern hemisphere.

zoo story

the zoo story is about a giraffe originally from a zoo in the West Bank, shown by Peter Friedl at Documenta 12. The giraffe died from banging his head in distress during an Israeli bombing raid. Apparently the reason he looks so odd and wonky is that the taxidermy was carried out by someone who didn't really know what he was doing.
