Indra's net a lesson in holograms from ancient times.

"Imagine a multidimensional spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image." –Alan Watts^[1]

Indra's net (also called Indra's jewels or Indra's pearls, Sanskrit Indrajāla) is a metaphor used to illustrate the concepts of Śūnyatā (emptiness),^[2] pratītyasamutpāda (dependent origination),^[3] and interpenetration^[4] in Buddhist philosophy.
The metaphor of Indra's net was developed by the Mahayana school in the third-century Avatamsaka Sutra and later by the Huayan school between the 6th and 8th centuries.^[2]

http://youtu.be/IuHnyct1dmI. Here is why I think Klimt is one of the greatest artists. When looking at his art you are enveloped in color and symmetry . You yearn to follow the path or enter the scene, think about it . His Impressionism is just right, by creating that feeling. I often yearn to see more of his creations though they are not limitless.

This yearning is what makes us long to hear the next chord or melody in music , the love of beauty is built in us . You hear Carly Sumon's heartbeat in her music stop and think ! Listen observe!

When baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig went on tour in baseball-crazy Japan in 1934, some fans wondered why a third-string catcher named Moe Berg was included. Although he played with five major-league teams from 1923 to 1939, he was a very mediocre ball player. But Moe was regarded as the brainiest ballplayer of all time. In fact Casey Stengel once said:

"That is the strangest man ever to play baseball.”

When all the baseball stars went to Japan, Moe Berg went with them

and many people wondered why he went with "the team" . . .

Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth

The answer was simple: Moe Berg was a United States spy, working undercover with the CIA.

Moe spoke 15 languages - including Japanese. And he had two loves: baseball and spying.

In Tokyo, garbed in a kimono, Berg took flowers to the daughter of an American diplomat

being treated in St. Luke's Hospital - the tallest building in the Japanese capital.

He never delivered the flowers. The ball-player ascended to the hospital roof and filmed key features:

the harbor, military installations, railway yards, etc.

Eight years later, General Jimmy Doolittle studied Berg's films in planning his spectacular raid on Tokyo ..

His father disapproved and never once watched his son play. In Barringer High School, Moe learned Latin,

Greek and French. Moe read at least 10 newspapers every day.

He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton - having added Spanish, Italian, German and Sanskrit

to his linguistic quiver. During further studies at the Sorbonne, in Paris, and Columbia Law School,

he picked up Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arabic, Portuguese and Hungarian - 15 languages in all,

plus some regional dialects.

While playing baseball for Princeton University, Moe Berg would describe plays in Latin or Sanskrit.

Tito's partisans

During World War II, Moe was parachuted into Yugoslavia to assess the value to the war effort of the

two groups of partisans there. He reported back that Marshall Tito's forces were widely supported

by the people and Winston Churchill ordered all-out support for the Yugoslav underground fighter,

rather than Mihajlovic's Serbians.

The parachute jump at age 41 undoubtedly was a challenge. But there was more to come in that same year.

Berg penetrated German-held Norway, met with members of the underground and located a secret

heavy-water plant - part of the Nazis' effort to build an atomic bomb.

His information guided the Royal Air Force in a bombing raid to destroy that plant.

The R.A.F. destroys the Norwegian heavy water plant targeted by Moe Berg.

There still remained the question of how far had the Nazis progressed in the race to build the first Atomic bomb.

If the Nazis were successful, they would win the war. Berg (under the code name "Remus") was sent to Switzerland

to hear leading German physicist Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel Laureate, lecture and determine if the Nazis were close

to building an A-bomb. Moe managed to slip past the SS guards at the auditorium, posing as a Swiss graduate student.

The spy carried in his pocket a pistol and a cyanide pill.

If the German indicated the Nazis were close to building a weapon, Berg was to shoot him - and then swallow

the cyanide pill. Moe, sitting in the front row, determined that the Germans were nowhere near their goal,

so he complimented Heisenberg on his speech and walked him back to his hotel.

Werner Heisenberg - he blocked

the Nazis from acquiring an atomic bomb.

Moe Berg's report was distributed to Britain's Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt

and key figures in the team developing the Atomic Bomb. Roosevelt responded: "Give my regards to the catcher.”

Most of Germany's leading physicists had been Jewish and had fled the Nazis mainly to Britain and the United States.

After the war, Moe Berg was awarded the Medal of Freedom - America's highest honor for a civilian in wartime.

But Berg refused to accept it, because he couldn't tell people about his exploits.

After his death, his sister accepted the Medal. It now hangs in the Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown.

Presidential Medal of Freedom: the highest award given to civilians during wartime.

Moe Berg's baseball card is the only card on display at the CIA Headquarters in Washington, DC.

'Human Computer' Shakuntala Devi Dies at 83

Quick: What's the cube root of 61,629,875?

Stumped? Shakuntala Devi, the woman known as the "Human Computer," could tell you, and probably faster than any mathematical computer could.

Devi, who passed away on April 21 at age 83 in her hometown of Bangalore, India, toured the world as a prodigy for much of her life, making appearances on radio, television and in theaters, the New York Times reports.

In a 1977 appearance at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Devi found the 23rd root of a 201-digit number in just 50 seconds, besting a slowpoke Univac computer that took 62 seconds to make the same calculation. The root of a number ("X") is equal to another number ("Y") that can be multiplied by itself a given number of times to equal "X." So the 23rd root of "X" equals "Y" multiplied by itself 23 times. [Creative Genius: The World's Greatest Minds]

Devi earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1982 after she correctly multiplied two 13-digit numbers in just 28 seconds before a stunned crowd at Imperial College in London, the Times reports.

(And the cube root of 61,629,875 is 395. What took you so long?)

The early life of Devi, born Nov. 4, 1929, showed little promise. She was raised in an orthodox Brahmin family, the Telegraph reports, but one with a wild streak: Her father refused to follow family tradition by becoming a priest — instead, he entered the circus as a trapeze artist, lion tamer and human cannonball.

Devi received virtually no formal education as a child. "At 10, I was admitted to Class 1 of St. Theresa's Convent in Chamarajpet," she once told the Times of India. "But my parents could not afford the monthly fee of Rs 2 [2 rupees], so in three months, I was thrown out."

While playing cards with his daughter, however, her father noticed Devi's unusual gift for computation and memory, so he launched her career of performing in the circus and in road shows.

"I had become the sole breadwinner of my family, and the responsibility was a huge one for a young child," Devi was quoted as saying. "At the age of 6, I gave my first major show at the University of Mysore [India], and this was the beginning of my marathon of public performances."

When she visited the United States in 1988, educational psychologist Arthur Jensen of the University of California at Berkeley tested her performance in several arithmetic tasks.

"Devi solved most of the problems faster than I was able to copy them in my notebook," Jensen later admitted.

"For a calculating prodigy like Devi, the manipulation of numbers is apparently like a native language, whereas for most of us, arithmetic calculation is at best like the foreign language we learnt at school," Jensen was quoted as saying.

"She was a vibrant lady who was sharp-minded and energetic. A witty person, she was fiercely independent as well," D.C. Shivdev Deshmudre, trustee of the Shakuntala Devi Educational Foundation Public Trust, told the Times of India.

Also a successful astrologer, cookbook author and novelist, Devi is survived by a daughter, son-in-law and two granddaughters.

Carly Fiorina standing ovation in New Hampshire

2015-07-11T04:46:00.001-04:00

The large number of Republican candidates opens a big field of personalities and interests to contrast for this next election . The Democrats are coming forward with only a few candidates , that leaves little chance to observe interests and contrasts in personality. I think that we should drop party names and let people speak their thoughts and show their leadership qualities. Maybe we are heading in that direction!

This morning as I watched C-Span I was almost breathless with admiration for Carly Fiorina . I thought as I watched her " Do people know what presence and intellectual ability you need to have , to give a speech with this depth of knowledge?"

I love the opportunity to observe a choice of candidates and really think that the time of electing career politicians is over.

At one time people felt the need to have career politicians because knowledge was gained by their experience in politics.
