Ken broke up with Barbie after finding out some of the paper in her packaging comes from a Singapore company, Asian Pulp & Paper (APP), who clearcuts rain forests and destroys biodiversity in Indonesia.
Marcel Dicke makes an appetizing case for adding insects to everyone's diet. His message to squeamish chefs and foodies: delicacies like locusts and caterpillars compete with meat in flavor, nutrition and eco-friendliness.
Must watch past one minute. Kinetic art -- a choreography of pendulum balls (ceramic drawer knobs). Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of increasing lengths
dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves,
beating, and (seemingly) random motion.
The period of one complete cycle of the dance is 60 seconds. The length
of the longest pendulum has been adjusted so that it executes 51
oscillations in this 60 second period. The length of each successive
shorter pendulum is carefully adjusted so that it executes one
additional oscillation in this period. Thus, the 15th pendulum
(shortest) undergoes 65 oscillations.
