La Peau de l'Ours

MARC-ANTOINE NADEAU

Ma préférée après la visite virtuelle de la Galerie des oeuvres de la collection de la Peau de l'Ours .

Fondée en 1995 à Montréal, la Peau de l'Ours célèbre cette année son 15e anniversaire. La collection privilégie les oeuvres de grand format et la peinture en particulier. Ne manquez pas l'exposition « la peinture dans la peau, 15 ans de collection »  à la maison de la culture Frontenac du 9 décembre 2010 au 16 janvier 2011

J'ai été victime d'un pourriel ma foi fort sympathique. Allez sur le site et laisser rouler la présentation, vous y découvrirez certainement quelques toîles qui vous accorcheront.

J'ai bien aimé aussi:

Gaz de Schiste : Wo!

Voilà, je me mouille, j'ai signé et je diffuse le clip produit par des artistes d'ici afin que la pétition comporte suffisamment de noms pour que le gouvernement comprenne enfin.

Le clip en soi mérite d'être vu pour sa qualité visuelle, l'impact de son message et ... les bruits de tambour de guerre réveillant les fantômes des patriotes.  Mais au delà de tout cela, malgré mon penchant capitaliste et de droite je considère, comme la majorité maintenant, que tout ceci va trop vite.



J'ai toujours une réserve face à ces pétitions syndrome du "pas dans ma cours" qui tuent les projets de développement riches en retombées économiques au profit d'un environnementalisme dogmatique qui flirte avec l'immobilisme.  Mais le message ici, celui du clip et le mien, est simplement de prendre le temps de faire les choses correctement.

Un commentaire cependant, à propos des énergies renouvelables et le risque de perdre le focus sur leur développement en considérant les gaz de schiste : Ce n'est pas demain, ni après demain que les énergies renouvelable pourront remplacer les énergies fossiles.  En termes simples, le Québec en particulier a besoin maintenant de revenus additionnels; Les gaz de schiste pourraient faire parti de la solution à moyen terme et les énergies renouvelables feront certainement parti de la solution à long terme.  Or, pourquoi ne pas utiliser les revenus additionnels générés par l'exploitation des gaz de shiste afin d'accélérer le dévelopement de la filière "énergie renouvelable" ?

Faites une recherche sur google avec "When will renewable energy will replace fossile fuel ?"

Égérie

... j'ai découvert ce mot en lisant un grand titre à propos de Sarah Palin...  Un mot si complexe avec un politicienne si...  hum.

17 novembre 2010 : Cyberpresse : " Sarah Palin, l'égérie de la mouvance ultraconservatrice du Tea Party,"




Étymologie

Par allusion à Égérie, la nymphe que consultait Numa.

Nom commun

égérie féminin

1. Femme qui est l’inspiratrice d’un homme politique, d’un littérateur, etc.

2. (Commerce) (Relation publique) Personne représentative (expert, célébrité, leader d’opinion, consommateur type) dont l’image et le témoignage sont associés à une cause ou à un produit pour en renforcer la crédibilité.

o Bernard Kouchner, un enfant de la banlieue devenu, un temps, l’égérie parisianiste d’une gauche caviar.


C'est fascinant !

Scrabble Délire

Une mise en marché créative, qui nous garde attentif pour tout le film.  C'est réussi lorsque nous n'avons pas le goût de "zapper".  Il y a déjà eu 267000 visionnement sur YouTube, c'est un début ;-)

J'adore le côté ludique et éclaté de ce concept, c'est pourquoi je vous le partage:




... Ce nouveau concept consiste à enfreindre toutes les règles du Scrabble classique pour battre ses adversaires : mettre un mot n’importe où sur la grille, utiliser des noms propres, écrire à l’envers, prendre des lettres à son adversaire…  

Roche Papier Ciseaux

Roche Papier Ciseaux ...
Petit traité de stratégie pour joueur compétitif...
ou pour parent maladif.   ;-)

Bon, l'autre jour j'ai joué avec une jeune dame qui venait de commencer la maternelle.  Une partie de "Roche-Papier-Ciseaux" je me suis dit que c'était divertissant.  Sauf que... non seulement la jeune dame jouait avec "l'alumette" mais en plus, elle jouait à une version qui comptait aussi un "bol de toilette".  "Un bol de toilette!? qu'est-ce que ça fait là-dedans !" que je lui répondit.  Elle m'expliqua toutes les combinaisons: La roche qui brise le bol de toilette, les ciseaux qui restent pris (donc qui gagnent), le papier et l'alumette qui passent dans le drain...

Ok, j'en perdais mon latin.

C'est pourquoi j'ai décidé de faire une petite analyse matricielle afin de voir quels éléments sont plus propices à nous mener à la victoire.

Alors voici.

1- Version Roche, Papier, Ciseaux, Alumette, Bol de Toilette

On constate que la roche et les ciseaux gagnent dans 3 combinaisons, le bol de toilette dans 2 combinaisons et l'alumette ainsi que le papier, à la traîne, ne gagnent que dans une combinaison chacun.  Ce sont définitivement deux mauvais choix.

2- Version Roche, Papier, Ciseaux, Alumette (que l'on connait tous un peu mieux)

Dans ce cas, la roche et les ciseaux gagnent dans 2 combinaisons, le papier et l'alumette dans une seule combinaison chacun; encore une fois ce sont deux mauvais choix !

3- Version Roche, Papier, Ciseaux (Classique)

Là tout le monde est égal.  Une combinaison gagnante chacun.  Les concepteurs avaient bien travaillé !

Moralité, alterner entre la roche et le ciseau augmente définitivement les probabilités de succès.  J'ajouterais toutefois, basé sur mon expérience, que le joueur moyen a tendance à commencer par la roche.  Donc un début avec le papier suivi de l'alternance roche, ciseaux, ... c'est la recette du succès!  

Amusez-vous !

Water on Mars

Water on Mars !
This is not new, but new images suggest that water still flow in brief spurts on Mars.  How amazing !

Follow this link to get the complete article : Link




... and because article have a tendency to disapear... here is a copy of it :

NASA photographs have revealed bright new deposits seen in two gullies on Mars that suggest water carried sediment through them sometime during the past seven years.

"These observations give the strongest evidence to date that water still flows occasionally on the surface of Mars," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, Washington.

Liquid water, as opposed to the water ice and water vapor known to exist at Mars, is considered necessary for life. The new findings heighten intrigue about the potential for microbial life on Mars. The Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor provided the new evidence of the deposits in images taken in 2004 and 2005.

"The shapes of these deposits are what you would expect to see if the material were carried by flowing water," said Michael Malin of Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego. "They have finger-like branches at the downhill end and easily diverted around small obstacles." Malin is principal investigator for the camera and lead author of a report about the findings published in the journal Science.

The atmosphere of Mars is so thin and the temperature so cold that liquid water cannot persist at the surface. It would rapidly evaporate or freeze. Researchers propose that water could remain liquid long enough, after breaking out from an underground source, to carry debris downslope before totally freezing. The two fresh deposits are each several hundred meters or yards long.

The light tone of the deposits could be from surface frost continuously replenished by ice within the body of the deposit. Another possibility is a salty crust, which would be a sign of water's effects in concentrating the salts. If the deposits had resulted from dry dust slipping down the slope, they would likely be dark, based on the dark tones of dust freshly disturbed by rover tracks, dust devils and fresh craters on Mars.

Mars Global Surveyor has discovered tens of thousands of gullies on slopes inside craters and other depressions on Mars. Most gullies are at latitudes of 30 degrees or higher. Malin and his team first reported the discovery of the gullies in 2000. To look for changes that might indicate present-day flow of water, his camera team repeatedly imaged hundreds of the sites. One pair of images showed a gully that appeared after mid-2002. That site was on a sand dune, and the gully-cutting process was interpreted as a dry flow of sand.

Today's announcement is the first to reveal newly deposited material apparently carried by fluids after earlier imaging of the same gullies. The two sites are inside craters in the Terra Sirenum and the Centauri Montes regions of southern Mars.

"These fresh deposits suggest that at some places and times on present-day Mars, liquid water is emerging from beneath the ground and briefly flowing down the slopes. This possibility raises questions about how the water would stay melted below ground, how widespread it might be, and whether there's a below-ground wet habitat conducive to life. Future missions may provide the answers," said Malin.

Besides looking for changes in gullies, the orbiter's camera team assessed the rate at which new impact craters appear. The camera photographed approximately 98 percent of Mars in 1999 and approximately 30 percent of the planet was photographed again in 2006. The newer images show 20 fresh impact craters, ranging in diameter from 7 feet (2 meters) to 486 feet (148 meters) that were not present approximately seven years earlier. These results have important implications for determining the ages of features on the surface of Mars. These results also approximately match predictions and imply that Martian terrain with few craters is truly young.

Mars Global Surveyor began orbiting Mars in 1997. The spacecraft is responsible for many important discoveries. NASA has not heard from the spacecraft since early November. Attempts to contact it continue. Its unprecedented longevity has allowed monitoring Mars for over several years past its projected lifetime.

Discovered it a while ago.
I was hooked first time I surfed it. It's fun, filled with information and the subject, even though spoiled, still it is intriguing. And not to forget, the design of the web page is awesome, it keeps your curiosity up and it's trilling to surf.

Have fun scrolling down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and stop by the facts points, I learned few things.

"Take a deeper look" at the shipwreck and it's surrounding. It is filled with fun fact points.

And follow the feeds, to see their progress in real time.
