The Morning Still by Lizzy Gadd

The Morning Still by Lizzy Gadd

It's hard to find the words to describe last weekend (especially before my morning coffee kicks in)... But it was the most beautiful 3 days spent with a pile of strangers in one of the loveliest settings in the world, straight out of a fairytale and yet only a mere 20 minute flight from home. Spent a lot of time listening and observing, and left this place feeling immensely inspired by the beauty of both the landscapes and all the good human hearts and souls I was lucky enough to share this time with. Thank you. Let's keep this world beautiful. <3

Pulse of vertically polarized light

Full Text:

A simulation of a pulse of vertically polarized light that's 400 nanometers (nm) and showing 100 nm scale localization when passing (left to right) through a funnel configuration of 30 nm diameter silver nanowires. The purpose of this research, carried out at Argonne National Laboratory, was to learn how to control visible and near-visible light on the nanoscale (nanophotonics) with future generations of optical and electronic devices in mind.

Quick meal? 3-D printed dinner
A professor and his students have invented a 3D food printer that could revolutionize the way we think about food and prepare it -- it can fabricate edible items through computer-guided software and the actual cooking of edible pastes, gels, powders, and liquid ingredients -- all in a prototype that looks like an elegant coffee machine.

Novel 'repair system' discovered in algae may yield new tools for biotechnology

Full Text:

A new way of fixing inactive proteins has been discovered in algae that uses chloroplast extracts and light to release an interrupting sequence from a protein. Many proteins contain extra sequences, called insertions, that can disrupt their function. This research demonstrates that the algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has the necessary toolkit to repair proteins by removing these insertions. This repair system may have applications in agriculture and biotechnology because it could potentially be harnessed to enable proteins to become active only in the light.

Edinburgh art festival 2016 review where Lothian meets utopian

Christian Boltanski, Damián Ortega and Alice Neel impress in this year's strongly international show, while Inverleith House celebrates in style

A vision of bright reeds shimmers across the lake on the tiny island. Each is tied with a label and capped with a ceramic bell. Simple strips of Perspex, these labels appear white, then silver, then barely visible in the breeze, resembling the leaves of the willow tree above. The silvery music of the bells is the sonic equivalent of the shivering labels.

It is a beautiful sight, a son et lumiere for the Lothian landscape that doubles as a commemoration of the limitless dead. For Animitas, by the great French artist Christian Boltanski, takes its title from the Chilean roadside shrines honouring ancestral souls. Boltanski's labels are nameless, however, as if to embrace all the dead of the world. His installation murmurs now in the Scottish air, releasing its song, but those currents pass freely all over the globe.

On my radar: Róisín Murphy's cultural highlights
The musician on the glories of Soviet and Dutch architecture, Mark Rylance's orgasmic acting and the thrilling subversion of Fat White Family

Born in County Wicklow, Ireland, in 1973, Róisín Murphy relocated to Manchester with her family at the age of 12; three years later, her parents moved back but she remained in the UK. From 1994 to 2003, she was one half of trip-hop duo Moloko with her then partner, Mark Brydon, releasing their debut album Do You Like My Tight Sweater? in 1995. In 2005, she released her debut solo album Ruby Blue, followed by Overpowered in 2007 and Hairless Toys, which earned a Mercury prize nomination, in 2015. Murphy's new album Take Her Up to Monto is out now and she headlines at the Globe theatre on August 15 as part of a series of concerts curated by Lauren Laverne.

Smithfield General Market: the new Museum of London sets out its stall

After years of debate surrounding its future, London's historic Smithfield General Market is to be the new home of the Museum of London. But will the architects chosen last week to redesign the site rise to the challenge?

Sometimes, the sum of dumb decisions can equal a great one.

For at least a decade, the Corporation of London tried to erase or partly erase a group of buildings known as the Smithfield General Market and replace it with commercial development. Part of their motive was to raise enough money to cover their liabilities for maintaining underground railway tunnels that passed underneath, so they and their developer partners stacked up their schemes with as much valuable volume as they could. Those schemes then came crashing down under the scrutiny of two public inquiries.

The chance is there to make a museum exceptional in Britain and the world, like none other

Jason Bourne review triumphant return of the strong, silent type

Matt Damon reunites with Paul Greengrass for this fifth instalment of the Bourne series a head-spinning, post-Snowden cyber-thriller

With 2004's espionage sequel The Bourne Supremacy, director Paul Greengrass changed the face of popcorn thrillers, combining the docudrama grit of Bloody Sunday with super-slick thrills that left the Bond franchise in the dust. So successful were the Bourne movies that when Greengrass and leading man Matt Damon walked away from the Robert Ludlum-inspired series after the perfect ending of 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum, the studio cooked up The Bourne Legacy, an empty actioner with a gaping hole where its star and soul should be, idly trading on the memory of past glories.

Now, after reuniting on 2010's underrated Green Zone, Damon and Greengrass are back with Jason Bourne, a breathlessly confident thriller with a self-consciously modern edge that casts its antihero adrift in a post-Snowden world of surveillance and social media. Replete with heated exchanges about the pay-off between personal privacy and public order, the new movie (written by Greengrass and his long-term editor, Christopher Rouse) combines fist-fighting with cyber-stalking in impressively ruthless fashion, barrelling through its contemporary landscape like a cinematic bull in a rolling-news china shop.

Damon injects a much needed air of humanity. His speech may be sparse, but his body is expressively talkative

Designer: unknown

Poster source: Posteritati Staff Pick

“Vasek and Honza, two pupils of an elementary school in a small village, artfully move through the expositions of the Brno fair. They collect many leaflets, thoroughly inspect everything and constantly gorge themselves with various delicacies, which gives Vasek a bad stomach. The next day, however, everything is all right. These two boys, whose overactive imaginations keep them far from the top of the class, tell their classmates about their adventures, both real and made-up. In their dreamed-up world, there is an automatic machine which can fulfill one wish to everybody.” NFA.cz on IMDb
