Let's not struggle, When falling into that love. We held breath! Since with each breath, we are burnt! -Many times we've put up with fire of despair. -Many times we've been burnt by fire of despair.

So this memory is a link between culture and brain. It makes one think if any creature is to receive and understand these messages will be of human species. So could it be in future, when humans have colonized space, if encounter with these messages out there in space, they will need tools and knowledge to understand human intelligence at our time, when the messages were sent?... If humans could be the receivers of these codes what is our memorabilia to the upcoming generations and future space archaeologists? 3500 BC Cuneiform script <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kish_tablet" target="_blank"><img src="http://spacecollective.org/userdata/B8Q1MSnp/1224543595/LimestoneKishTablet.jpg" border="0" width="" height="" class="padTopBot"></a> 1427-1392 BCE The Declaration of Purifications <a href="http://wysinger.homestead.com/maiherperi.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://spacecollective.org/userdata/B8Q1MSnp/1224553062/papyrus2.jpg" border="0" width="" height="" class="padTopBot"></a> http://spacecollective.org/leili/4399/Sending-words-music-or-memorabilia-into-space-is-becoming-a-tradition Calling Planet Earth http://spacecollective.org/leili/4338/Calling-Planet-Earth http://spacecollective.org/leili/4338/Calling-Planet-Earth Sun, 05 Oct 2008 13:33:18 +0000 leili 4338 <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Un6pmJK_ZE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Un6pmJK_ZE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> 'Refer to the discourse of music improviser and wine and ask around less the secret of time for one hasn’t solved and won't solve this puzzle through science.'

By doing so they aim to reduce impact on the environment inherent to the transport of foodstuffs, while ensuring their traceability. Local River anticipates the growing influence of this group (the word ‘locavore’ made its first appearance in an American dictionary in 2007) by proposing a home storage unit for live freshwater fish combined with a mini vegetable patch. This DIY fish-farm-cum-kitchen-garden is based on the principle of aquaponics coupled with the exchange and interdependence of two living organisms - plants and fish. The plants extract nutrients from the nitrate-rich dejecta of the fish. In doing so they act as a natural filter that purifies the water and maintains a vital balance for the eco-system in which the fish live. The same technique is used on large-scale pioneer aquaponics/fish-farms, which raise tilapia (a food fish from the Far East) and lettuce planted in trays floating on the surface of ponds. Local River responds to everyday needs for fresh food that is 100% traceable. It bets on a return to favour of farm-raised freshwater fish (trout, eel, perch, carp, etc…), given the dwindling supplies of many saltwater species due to over-fishing. It also demonstrates the capacity of fish-farmers to deliver their stock live to a private consumer as a guarantee of optimum freshness - impossible in the case of saltwater fish that has been netted. Local River aims to replace the decorative ‘TV aquarium’ by an equally decorative but also functional ‘refrigerator-aquarium’. In this scenario, fish and greens cohabit for a short time in a home storage unit before being eaten by their keepers, the end-players in an exchange cycle within a controlled ecosystem.

By looking at the timeline of technology, measuring geometry has played an outstanding role in mystifying the nature of life to human’s perception. Perhaps natural <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics" target="_blank"> numbers</a> , were invented by women counting to keep track of their menstrual cycles, belonged goods, population and in weaving. They were added, subtracted, multiplied, until the concept of ratio was perceived in spatial calculations. Constructing thick and safe walls, using bricks and stone-cuts as units, required much complex forms of calculation and numeral systems that were not perceived before that. For centuries constructing pyramids and measuring the circumference of circle by its radius brought new understanding to mathematical observations. The calculations inspired one of the deepest pleasures that the mind seeks: to be awed by existence, this time not only with fleshly pleasures, but by becoming intelligent enough to uncover nature’s precision and thus to conquer it. As irrational numbers appeared through the ratio of rational numbers, mind joined Ecosophia in conceiving proportionality of space and time that still to this day transcends precision. In short, I see as ratios were discovered that showed numbers that could/would not terminate (e.i.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi" target="_blank"> pi</a>), teme distinguished itself from meme. Does the historical fact that the development of geometrical math happened around the same time when the myths about human’s creation were introduced to cultures, (starting 5th millennium BC in Egypt, Babylon and India), reveal anything about teme? <img src="http://spacecollective.org/userdata/B8Q1MSnp/1220128066/Square_compasses.jpg" border="0" width="" height="" class="padTopBot"> http://spacecollective.org/leili/4206/Architecture-Teme-and-Mystics- BigDog http://spacecollective.org/leili/4197/BigDog http://spacecollective.org/leili/4197/BigDog Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:32:15 +0000 leili 4197 <a href="http://www.bostondynamics.com/content/sec.php?section=BigDog" target="_blank"><img src="http://spacecollective.org/userdata/B8Q1MSnp/1219793477/bigdogclipped1.gif" border="0" width="" height="" align="left" class="padRight"></a> by <a href="http://www.bostondynamics.com/content/sec.php?section=BigDog" target="_blank">Boston Dynamics</a> http://spacecollective.org/leili/4197/BigDog
