Acid Bit

By Mr D Stevens

 This is a fantastic science fiction movie that served as a template to launch a new action star in Vin Diesel (Saving Private Ryan, something about his voice reminds me of an engine).

He stars as Richard B. Riddick, a no-nonsense convict, who is being transported by an equally rugged bounty hunter William J. Johns played by Cole Hauser (Too Fast Too Furious). The rest of the crew headed by the captain Carolyn Fry, played by the lovely Radha Mitchell (Phone Booth), are all told to steer clear of Riddick as he is considered extremely dangerous, hence the very large bounty on his head, and are told Riddick would sooner take the ship and leave every one stranded if he could, in order to save his skin.

They crash land on an apparently desert planet, with supplies running low, and the crew of the ship made up of an Imam, Abu Al Walid played by Keith David (Crash) and his disciples searching for New Mecca. In a desperate search for water, they happen to come across what looks like trees from a distance but on closer inspection it seems it is the skull of a dead animal almost like a dinosaur. It soon becomes obvious to the rest of crew that there is life on this planet, and eerily, this particular night, an eclipse will occur which would mean the nightlife will come out in search of food, seeking out fresh victims in the crew.

The captain makes a decision that they must all work together if they are to successfully get out of this planet, and that involves freeing Riddick, while Riddick’s bounty hunter William keeps a close guard, weapon at the ready in case Riddick tries anything.

Riddick seems to have gotten a fan in the midst of the crew, which could end up ominously for all involved.

In the midst of all this Riddick does have a little advantage over all the other members of the crew, his eyesight is superb in the dark, however he is extremely sensitive to light not unlike the creatures on the planet, and he has to wear some made to order goggles to protect his eyesight. Since Riddick is the only one able to navigate at night when the creatures on the planet are hunting, he is the only one best equipped to gather the equipment needed to fix the ship, so they can all fly out of this dangerous planet, but Riddick seems to only look out for himself, unless Fry can convince him to show some humanity, which is not one of his strong traits.

The Development Of Holography And The Way It Change Us

By Lance Winslow

 Can art save life, well in nowadays’s epoch nothing is impossible. A yesterday’s art of creating holograms has become these days’s technology of saving lives. Holograms in easy words, a photographic image formed in such a method that when lit up, a three dimensional image is formed. The process that goes in making a hologram i.e. holography is an art all by itself.

When Nancy Safford (world famous holographer) fiddles along with her mirrors and cranks up her laser, she is hoping to form a whole other world. It’s the three-D world of the hologram, where images will jump and dance before your eye. Holography brings in the entire issue of illusion and therefore the manner we have a tendency to see the world.

Holography is simply the beginning of a whole new perception of what’s out there and in us.

Holography dates from 1947, when British scientist Dennis Gabor developed the speculation of holography whereas operating to improve the resolution of an electron microscope. Gabor coined the term hologram from the Greek words holos, meaning “whole,” and gramma, meaning “message”. Further improvement in the sector was stymied during the following decade as a result of light sources accessible at the time weren’t truly “coherent”.

Holographic artists have greatly improved their technical data of the discipline and currently contribute to the technology as well because the creative process. The art type has now become a technology.

With the evolution of medical science as well as technology holography not simply merely creates fancy 3 dimensional images prevalently called a Hologram. However this technique conjointly is currently saving lives.

Application of holographic imaging to the apply of medication could be a new and growing field. Medical holography permits high-resolution, 3-dimensional imaging of internal body structures for the diagnosis and assistance in the treatment of disease and injury. In the realm of medication, holographic imaging and tomography can most likely become a key to pc-assisted diagnostic purposes and treatment.

The power of gated holography to supply sharp pictures of things inside see-through fluid may make it the method of imaging that’s preferred for many medical applications. Equally, researchers are working on uses of holo-technology for making 3D pc models of patients’ organs and external features. These holographic simulations are then used to fabricate customized implants and prostheses.

Medical Usage of Holography

Mostly the holographic interferometric techniques have been used for biomedical applications. X-ray holography can be applied for imaging of internal elements of the body and living biological specimens with terribly high resolution without the need for sample preparation. Endoscopic holography has displayed the possibility of noncontact high resolution 3D imaging and nondestructive measurements within the natural cavities of internal organs. 3 dimensional images of biological specimens will be synthesized from a series of 2 dimensional radiological pictures using the techniques of holographic stereogram, holographic conical stereogram and multiplex hologram. Holographic contour generation is useful for measurements for biomedical specimen. Recent enhancements in security holograms recording techniques and the provision of contemporary tools have become a boon for all and sundry.
