text:
In Crystallography, poet Christian Bök describes "a medieval treatise on the use of mirrors." This treatise, Bök tells us, suggests that when two mirrors reflect one other, the endless abyss of mirrors-in-mirrors created between them might form a kind of spectral architecture.
Further, the medieval treatise says, "any living person who has no soul can actually step into either one of the mirrors as if it were an open door and thus walk down the illusory corridor that appears to recede forever into the depths of the glass by virtue of one mirror reflecting itself in the other. The walls of such a corridor are said to be made from invulnerable panes of crystal, beyond which lies a nullified dimension of such complexity that to view it is surely to go insane. The book also explains at length that, after an eternity of walking down such a corridor, a person eventually exits from the looking-glass opposite to the one first entered."
And it gets more interesting:
The treatise's author, Bök explains, "speculates that a soulless man might carry another pair of mirrors into such a corridor, thereby producing a hallway at right angles to the first one, and of course this procedure might be performed again and again in any of the corridors until an endless labyrinth of glass has been erected inside the first pair of mirrors, each mirror opening onto an extensive grid of crisscrossing hallways, some of which never intersect, despite their lengths being both infinite and perpendicular."
The author of the treatise warns, however, that one could become "hopelessly lost while exploring such a maze" – for instance, "if the initial pair of mirrors are disturbed so that they no longer reflect each other, thus suddenly obliterating the fragile foundation upon which the entire maze rests."
In which case whole crystal cities of mirrored halls, in right-angled topologies of non-self-intersecting self-intersection, would simply disappear – along with anyone exploring inside them.
A kind of rogue experiment might ensue, aboard the International Space Station: an astronaut, crazed with loneliness, sets up two mirrors... and promptly escapes into a hinged labyrinth of crystallized earth-orbiters, his radio crackling unanswered in the control panel left behind.

Just for the record here, the phrase "a natural history of mirrors" comes from Bök's book.
Hi Geoff
Reliably fascinating site. You might be interested in "Mirrors In Mind"-Richard Gregory, "The Claude Glass" -Arnaud Maillet and "The Art Of Memory"-Francis Yates.
Some of this touches on a recent project of mine which you can see at:

Paul Schütze
Paul - Thanks for the tips! I know your work, actually; many lifetimes ago there was a record shop I frequented and the owner was a fan of yours. "New Maps of Hell" is a title I can't forget... The Garden of Instruments sounds fascinating, by the way. I'd love to hear more about it.
PS: U2 is Album of the Year? Would be interested in your opinion on that one...
Terry Pratchett used the lost between two mirrors idea in his book "Witches Abroad". One witch's advice to young ladies was "Always get the gentleman's name, and never stand between two mirrors."
Not sure I want to go on record with an opinion about U2 being "album of the year" except perhaps to reflect on what a desolate prospect that would be if it were in fact true. Fortunatly it isn't.
The GOI project I mentioned is an extrapolation of the sound work I made a few years back around the Janta Manta in Delhi. Part of a series of works about the experience of built environments as distinct from descriptions of structures. Hence the concern with memory, reflection, internal weather systems, haptic narratives etc. I'm finding a great deal here on your site which connects with these themes. All great!
Paul - If you haven't already found them, these posts might interest you: listening to the seismology of 9/11. The very end of this post. Or this one, on geoacoustics, proposing an MP3 of the surface of Mars.
On contact mic'ing the foundations of London, including icebergs as instruments. On podcasting the sun. On weather as an instrument via landscape architecture.
Glad you found the site, meanwhile. Any way to hear the garden of instruments yet? (Need any writing for it?)
And, anonymous, was the advice about not standing between two mirrors so that the character would avoid getting trapped in there...? Or just a beauty tip...? Curious.

Thanks for the refs. I will look at them over the weekend.

Are you familliar with Edward Burtinski's photographs?

Two things: it is a previously unknown fact that Kubrick put two mirrors face to face in developing the idea for the monolith in 2001. Thus, the film is about what happens behind the space created by internal reflection. Similarly, Jules Verne had an idea about using mirrors for space travel, where the infinite reflection travels an infinite distance in negligible time. This was derived from a story by Poe involving a man trapped between two mirrors by the infinite distance between himself and his reflections, something along the lines of Zeno's paradox. Zeno himself got in on the act with a set of curved mirrors. Not in relation to burning ships, but as a means of reproducing objects, somewhat like a combination of Star Trek transporter and a hologram. You've seen the modern equivalent in those covered mirror bowls that project an object's reflection into the ocular space of the bowl. But he went mad after climbing inside a large version in the attempt to project himself into two places at once.
Thanks, Sean; feel free to tell others...
And Paul, I do indeed know Burtynsky's work. It pops up here and there on the blog, in fact; see Where cathedrals go to die for starters. I'll take a look at "Third Site," meanwhile. But feel free to come back in future.
And e-tat, interesting points as usual. There is another little story in Bök's book about a man at a Lacan conference who gets trapped in a mirrored elevator overnight; he gradually goes insane, claiming, upon rescue, that they saved the wrong person and that he is actually still back there in the elevator. Similarly, I remember a Japanese short story I read about a decade ago about a man who gets trapped in a glass sphere he designs for himself. A mirrored sphere, I should say; the inside is mirrored. It rolls around, and he goes nuts, as per the standard trope. I can't remember how light was supposed to have entered its confines, on the other hand...

Swindon Town's new strike force of Wes Thomas and Nicky Ajose inflicted a 3-1 home defeat on Crewe Alexandra - but the score line certainly didn't reflect the contest over 90 minutes.
The Railwaymen will be left hugely disappointed that they didn't gain anything from a contest that we dominated for large periods.
After Adam King had given us the lead just after the hour mark there would not have been many predicting a 3-1 home defeat but that is how it unravelled.
King's third goal of the season should have been the spring board for us to go on and claim our first win of the season, but we conceded a sloppy goal just two minutes later when youngster Tommy Smith shot past Ben Garratt after the initial danger had not been cleared.
Crewe were very much in the game still and looked the more likely to go on and retake the lead - but Swindon's new forward duo of Thomas and our former loanee Nicky Ajose showed their clinical edge with two well taken finishes in the final ten minutes to leave us bottom of League One.
For such large parts of the game, the Alex played some really enterprising football but just couldn't find a way past Lawrence Vigouroux with Chris Atkinson, Ryan Colclough and Lauri Dalle Valle all being denied by the on-loan Liverpool goalkeeper.
International call-ups for Marcus Haber and Harry Wilson and a hamstring injury to midfielder Billy Bingham forced Steve Davis into two changes for the visit of Swindon Town. Lauri Dalla Valle returned to the starting line-up in a more central role with Chris Atkinson replacing Bingham in midfield.
The other change came at the back with club captain Harry Davis replacing George Ray in the heart of the defence for his first start of the season. Davis had missed the start of the new campaign because of a knee injury.
Academy youngster Callum Ainley was named on the substitutes' bench for the first time in his young career after making an impressive start to the new season for the club's Under-18s.
Swindon boss Mark Cooper named our former loanee striker Nicky Ajose in his starting line-up after he left Leeds United by mutual consent on deadline. Town's other new signing Wes Thomas also started at Gresty Road.
Before kick-off a really emotional one minute applause for Crewe's appearance record holder Tommy Lowry. The fans in the Gresty Road proclaimed there was 'only one Tommy Lowry' as well in a moving moment.
As you would expect with both sides eager to pass the ball, it was a game of real patience and space in the final third was restricted in the opening exchanges as both sets of players found their feet. An early cross from Stephen Kingsley was cut out before it reached a well-placed Lauri Dalla Valle inside the penalty area. From the other side, a lively appearance from Ryan Colclough saw his cross cut out by Brandon Ottewill and the full-back needed treatment after Ollie Turton slid into him to try and retrieve possession.
Our former forward Ajose then found the overlapping Bradley Barry and his cut back was perfect for Thomas, but he couldn't keep his shot down enough to trouble Ben Garratt for the first time on the day.
Crewe's best hope of opening the scoring came from the lively Colclough. The skilful wide man had a fantastic shot from 20 yards out pushed over superbly well by Lawrence Vigouroux before he dragged another low shot straight at the Swindon goalkeeper.
From a David Fox corner, Dalla Valle had a half chance smuggled just off the line by the Swindon captain Raphael Branco.
Both sides enjoyed good spells of possession, looking to probe and wait patiently for those openings. In the first half they were rather few and far between but Crewe certainly shaded the better of the openings.
Another clever run from Dalla Valle saw him flick a cross from Kingsley a yard or so wide before the best performer in the first half, Colclough fired straight at the Swindon goalkeeper after he had cut back inside.
Crewe finished the first half really on top and arguably had the better of our two chances in the final few minutes. Dalla Valle was denied by the onrushing Vigouroux and he just couldn't quite sort his feet out as the Swindon stopper came out to smother the ball.
In injury time some wonderful football down the right hand side unlocked the Swindon back line and Dalla Valle's flick into Atkinson's path saw the midfielder denied from cross range by a superb reflex save from the busier of the two goalkeepers.
After Wes Thomas had fired wastefully over the crossbar in the early exchanges of the second half, Crewe dominated the possession and applied more pressure on the Swindon goal. Atkinson shot just wide before a Kingsley cross was too high for Dalla Valle at the far post.
Barry was booked for a foul on Inman as he threatened to get away down the channel as Crewe looked the more likely to score first – but that was until an almighty mix up a the back with Garratt rushing from his goal to try and help out Turton, who had Ajose rushing on him. The muddle saw the Crewe players taken out of the equation and Ajose had an empty net to aim at from 35 yards out - but he uncharacteristically hit it wide of the mark. Ajose didn't need telling he should have scored. It was a lucky escape for Crewe.
Atkinson forced another save from Vigouroux before the deadlock was finally broken on 61 minutes. Ajose lost possession and King got the ball out of his feet and tried his luck from 25 yards and his powerful drive finally defeated the Swindon goalkeeper.
That should have been the catalyst for the Railwaymen to push on and claim those three points but the lead lasted barely two minutes. Garratt initially made a fine save to deny Thomas at the far post after he looked favourite to connect to a cross field pass from Rogers, but the ball went loose and with Crewe not pressuring the substitute Smith he drove his shot past the Crewe goalkeeper from the edge of the box. Crewe didn't hold onto the lead long enough and we were back to square one.
Nugent was fouled for catching Ajose before our former forward latched onto a superb cross to force another smart of save from Garratt. He also hit one into the side netting.
A strong run from Atkinson to the by-line nearly picked out Dalle Valle and Fox had a shot blocked after being found inside the box by Colclough. Rogers, son of the Liverpool manager Brendan also did brilliantly to clear with his head before the incoming King was about to head a Kingsley cross on target.
Crewe were going all out for three points and the substitution made by Steve Davis reflected that with George Cooper replacing Atkinson. Crewe basically went with four up front looking for that next goal.
As it turned out though it was Swindon's forwards making the difference. On 81 minutes, Fabien Robert slipped Wes Thomas in behind the Alex back line and the on-loan Birmingham forward fired high into the roof of the net. It was a bitter blow for Crewe to take.
In the closing minutes, young Callum Ainley came on for the injured Dalla Valle and had some encouraging first touches in the professional game.
With Crewe pressing looking for what would have been a deserved point at the very least; Ajose finished us off in stoppage time, planting his accurate shot into our top corner after the ball had dropped to him instead the box.


Perennial Public Power District will respond to your outage call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. After normal work hours, or on weekends or holidays, we always have two line technicians on call. Outages cannot always be prevented…storms, high winds, lightning, equipment failure, tree contact, contact by animals, and vehicle accidents are among the most common causes of power outages. Widespread outages caused by wind and ice storms will take some time to repair. If needed, all District personnel will report to work any time of the day or night if the outage conditions require that kind of support.
If you experience a power outage…there are a few steps to follow to speed up the restoration process.
If the line is busy, keep trying because we need your information. The Dispatch Center has several incoming lines, but they can be filled quickly in the event of a large outage. When a storm moves into the area, extra personnel will usually be brought in for support. If you have tried to get in for quite some time, the outages are likely wide-spread and we'll need your patience and some time to get your power restored.
Make sure you have at least one good flashlight with fresh batteries.
Have a battery operated radio ready.
Keep the refrigerator and freezer door closed. Note: food will keep for several hours in a closed refrigerator, and up to two days in a freezer – provided that the door stays shut.
Purchase an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for your personal computer. A UPS will allow for the controlled shut-down of the computer without the loss of any data.
Stay away from power lines…Consider any downed power line to be energized and extremely dangerous. Never go near a downed power line, and don't let anyone else near them. Even the ground around a downed line can be energized and deadly, so stay away! Report any downed power line as soon as possible to Perennial at (402) 362-3357 or (800) 289-0288. If you cannot reach us call your local law enforcement and give them the location of the downed line.
Standby Generators…If you use a standby generator during power outages, remember that improper generator hookup can create serious problems with safety, and the operation of the generator. It is important that your service has a double-throw switch to isolate the generator from the District's power lines. If it is not isolated, voltage from the generator could be feed back onto the District's lines where it would endanger the lives of of line technicians working to restore your power. If the sources are not isolated, your generator could also be damaged when power is restored. The District will install a double-throw switch at the meter socket for you for a nominal installation fee. If you are interested in a double-throw switch, contact the District during normal work hours at (402) 362-3355, or email us.
After a major storm that knocks down poles and wires, there are certain steps that Perennial must take to restore power in the most efficient way possible. The following graphic is generic and refers to "cooperatives" instead of Perennial, but the basic steps are the same. View The Steps to Restoring Power.

Chinese Firm Housemart Limited Bribes KRA & Judge In Money Laundering Case.
A Chinese firm that is entangled in a fraud and money laundering case has bribed a judge and the Kenya Revenue authority to withdraw a case and solve it "out of court" the editor of this site has learnt.
The Chinese company's offices which are located on Mombasa road and are involved in the importation of various items including construction materials and household commodities were at the centre of a multi-billion tax evasion scandal.
High Court's Lady Justice Hedwig Ong'udi recently issued orders freezing the accounts of Housemart Company Ltd following an application by the Kenya Revenue Authority claiming that the Chinese firm has evaded tax through under declaration of Value Added Tax of its products since 2010 totalling to Sh2B.
The order was issued for preserving funds and prohibiting the release, transfer, payment or other dealings involving the money held by the company at Barclays Bank of Kenya, Standard Chartered Bank, NIC Bank and Bank of Africa pending determination of the suit.
KRA says the Chinese company is engaged in tax evasion and money laundering through the creation of "briefcase companies" who have no physical presence in Kenya and used to syphon millions of shillings from the country.
According to preliminary findings of investigations done by KRA and presented before the court, it revealed that the company has evaded taxes amounting to sh2,243,781,488 between 2015 to 2017.
According to an affidavit filed by KRA forensic investigator Cyrell Wagunda, they received information in January that six companies were registered and used to open bank accounts in which proceeds from sales by Housemart Ltd were being channelled.
The companies include Colila Ltd, Akubi Ltd, Nkemm Ltd, Obest Ltd, Sunda Industrial Company Ltd and Wise Databank Ltd.
He swore that he discovered tax fraud and money laundering through diversion of sales and using fictitious forms to claim VAT refunds.
"We discovered they were using their employees or security groups contracted to transport cash totalling sh4 billion. Once the funds are transferred to the six companies' accounts, they then wire it to another company based in China without declaring their tax," swore Wagunda.
In one instance, the KRA official stated that a total of Sh515 million was deposited to Colila Ltd, Akubi Limited received Sh241 million, and Wise Databank Limited received Sh3.5 billion between 2015 and 2017.
Separately, Housemart's MD Mr Ye Wei was also caught in the same problem, the Chinese national was charged in a Nairobi court with three counts of tax evasion. Mr Ye was arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts where he was jointly charged with others not before court evading on payment of tax amounting to over Ksh 800 million and an additional count of failing to declare sales amounting to more than Ksh 3 billion.
He denied the charges and was released on a Ksh 2 million bond with a surety of a similar amount or a cash bail of Ksh 1 million. The case will be heard on November 21, 2018.
Between 1st January 2016 and 30th June 2017, he is alleged to have willfully defaulted in paying Ksh 154,328,071 being income tax payable to the Commissioner of Domestic Taxes in contravention of the Tax Procedures Act.
In the second count, Mr Ye is alleged to have defaulted in paying Ksh 583,353, 575 between 1st January 2016 and 30th June 2017, while in the third count, the defaulted income tax is indicated as amounting to Ksh 85, 082, 282. This is for the period between 1st January 2015 and 30th January 2017, according to the charge sheet.
In the fourth count, Mr Ye is alleged to have deliberately defaulted on an obligation to declare sales amounting to Ksh 3, 232, 584.773 for the period covering 20th January 2016 and 20th December 2017 to the Commissioner of Domestic Taxes as required by the Value Added Tax.
According to a source privy to the matter, corrupt Kenya Revenue Authority officials have been harassing the corrupt Chinese after they refused to pay the bribe and finally agreed to settle the matter after money changed hands.
Despite all the fraud and money laundering, Housemart Co Limited has filed the consent with the KRA at the High Court. The consent allows Housemart to contest the outstanding tax as per the law.
"The consent …is hereby adopted as an order of the court. The (temporary) orders herein are accordingly vacated and the file is marked as closed," ordered Justice Paul Nyamweya.
KRA agreed to withdraw all preservation orders issued to banks blocking the Chinese firm from transacting its accounts.

More Layoffs Looming At Focus?
By Kyle Mantyla | July 30, 2010 11:02 am
Via Joe.My.God it looks like we can expect yet another round of layoffs at Focus on the Family:
I've gotten a few calls from people saying Focus on the Family is planning to announce layoffs, more than 100, on Friday.
I called Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger on Monday. He did not confirm or deny the rumors. Later he sent me a statement, which you can read below.
"We are still working out the details of fitting our FY '11 budget to the figure our board of directors established," Schneeberger wrote. "As soon as those decisions are final — we're aiming for next week — we'll share them with our ministry family first and then with our constituents and friends in the media."
Focus has laid off hundreds of employees since 2002, when its workforce was about 1,400. Currently Focus has 860 employees. It's latest round of layoffs was in September 2009, when 75 employees were let go.
Let's all hope that Adam Holz of Plugged In survives the cut so that he can continue his important work exposing how the new movie "The Kids Are Alight" is "even more subversive than Brokeback Mountain":
Focus on the Family's Plugged In is raising a warning flag about a movie called The Kids Are All Right, which is making its way into American theaters … Plugged In spokesman Adam Holz tells OneNewsNow the comedy paints the idea of a "modern family" — one stemmed from a same-sex couple — in a positive light.
"The upshot of it all is not only does that cause some conflict in the family, but the man that they discover is their father, a man named Paul, ends up having an affair with one of the women in the couple," Holz reports.
Holz explains the film is a story about how infidelity can devastate a family — but certainly not a family that viewers are used to seeing on screen by any way, shape, or form. So the conservative spokesman feels those are among several reasons why Christians should object.
"Not the least of which are several really explicit sex scenes — one between two women and several between a man and a woman," the Plugged In spokesman gives as an example. "And so there's all kind of content here on top of the philosophical problems."
Holz rates the movie as a "hard R" and adds that the film is even more subversive than Brokeback Mountain.

Metis veterans from Second World War awaiting apology from federal government
By Kristy KirkupThe Canadian Press
Sun., March 10, 2019timer2 min. read
OTTAWA—A leader of the Métis National Council has asked Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay to act quickly to ensure an apology is issued to Métis veterans from the Second World War before it's too late.
In a letter to the minister, the council's vice-president, David Chartrand, says an apology to veterans must happen soon because surviving veterans are nearing the end of their lives and "time is running out."
"Upon their return from the war, they were met with disrespect, then ignored, and never to receive the economic benefits and reintegration supports that they were promised," he wrote on Mar. 4.
"It is unfortunate there have been delays outside of our control. Yet, I cannot impress more upon you, your staff and your government how important this is to the Métis veterans."
The Manitoba Métis community recently lost another Second World War veteran who did not receive recognition and justice before his death, Chartrand said, adding Canada is indebted to Métis veterans for all they did.
The federal government and the Métis Nation were closing in on an agreement with the support of former veterans affairs minister Seamus O'Regan, Chartrand said.
O'Regan was moved out of the portfolio and into Indigenous Services during a January cabinet shuffle that has recently been the subject of much political controversy.
Jody Wilson-Raybould was moved out of the justice file to take over veterans affairs but she resigned from cabinet on Feb. 12, saying her removal from the justice file was because she was not willing to intervene to provide Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin a remediation agreement — a kind of plea deal for companies to avoid criminal prosecution.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has denied that was the reason for the shuffle.
MacAulay's office said Sunday the minister plans to speak with Chartrand and the Métis National Council in the near future on the issue.
"He remains committed to appropriately recognizing Métis veterans for their courage, achievements and sacrifices that they have made in defence of Canada," the office said.
"We have been working closely with the Métis Nation and we will continue to work closely and expeditiously on the way forward in support of reconciliation."
Last week, Trudeau delivered an apology in Iqaluit to Inuit for the handling of tuberculosis between the 1940s and 1960s.
Many Inuit were sent south for treatment during this period and some never returned home and were buried in southern Canada. Their families were never told of their deaths, nor their final resting places.

Q: convert c# to pure java?
Possible Duplicate:
is there an effective tool to convert c# to java?

I'm not very experienced with Java and have a lot of C# that I would like to translate into Java syntax so it would become compilable.
Reason: Android and Google Cloud
I know the API/Platforms have different structures, but lets say we dont need a 100% compability, but just to get "core functionalitet" translated. The GUI itself is one story of its own, as I've learned. But instead of rewriting every SWITCH-CASE, rebuild every Class etc. it would be nice to "map" the objects to Java equals and then do a recompile on the Android/Google platform.
I am sure there would be something that cant be translated as its a "C# only thing" - but just like every language is possible to generate .NET/MONO I thought there might be a Java -> .Net available too and therefore also a decompiler kinda thing?
So are there any easy ways to overcome this translation by Frameworks, SDK or other similar methods that will take 80-95% of the task automatically?

A: Have a look here: JSC.
But beside, there are some c# concepts which don't easyli translate into java.

A: .NET and Mono are compatible because both are VMs that run C# code. Grasshopper claims to allow you to run .NET classes on the JVM, but I haven't used it. It won't work at all for Android because Android isn't the JVM, but rather Dalvik.
The differences between C# and Java are more than "structural" as you put it, and translating from one language to another is more complicated than I think you understand.

A: I know Microsoft has a tool that's supposed to help convert Java to C#, but considering that a great many java applications reference libraries outside of the main system (apache being the most prominent example) this type of tool would be a monumental task.
C# also has data types that aren't supported at all in Java, such as unsigned types and stack-allocated objects.  Writing translations from CLR to Java bytecode would be difficult indeed.  And if you're using lambda functions in your code, kiss this idea goodbye.
Then there's the fact that not all language features in Java are available to the Davlik JVM.
I'm not a microsoft fanboy, but here's a comparison of the two languages that will give you an idea why I doubt this tool exists.
