Each story is a standalone masterpiece, allowing you to immerse yourself without any prior knowledge of the show. The location for this story is beautiful Cornwall England. The location of the fictitious Manor is present day Tregenna Castle. I drew inspiration for that location, and castle when I did my research for the book. The Manor sits on the most prized land in all of Cornwall England. It was originally built in the 14th Century by an English Knight named Sir Heric of Shaldorn who was knighted for his bravery in the Battle of Legume awarded by King Ernaldus III. I drew inspiration for this fictitious battle taken from the real Battle of Crécy, (August 26, 1346). The battle and the knight are part of the history of this place, and play an important role in the backstory. The protagonist Jennifer Ferimore was raised on a ranch in Cheyenne Wyoming. Trained as an investigative reporter for a local paper until one day she receives a strange letter requesting her presence at the reading of her uncles will. She travels to England, and when she arrives on the Manor property is where the story begins. There are many plot twists and secrets. Soon after arriving she is told by her attorney that the property is behind on it's taxes, and they must be paid before the property is officially hers. Will Jennifer solve the mysteries before it's too late. Shaldorn holds secrets that men are willing to kill for. Welcome to the Ferimore Chronicles. Enjoy the journey!

Queens of the Mines paperback, ebook, and hardback novel now available on Amazon.    In this episode, we dive into the life of Isadora Duncan.   In How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, the film from 2003, Kate Hudson's character Andy dons a yellow diamond necklace in one scene that they call the “Isadora Diamond”. That $6 million 80-carat yellow diamond in the necklace was designed by Harry Winston and is named after Isadora Duncan. whose philosophy earned her the title of “the creator of modern dance”.   Angela Isadora Duncan, was born in San Francisco on May 26, 1877. The youngest of the four children of banker, mining engineer and connoisseur of the arts, Joseph Charles Duncan and Mary Isadora Gray. Soon after her birth, Joseph was caught embezzling from the two banks that he was hired to set up. He used the money to fund his private stock speculations. Joseph was lucky to avoid prison time. Her mother Mary left Joseph and moved the children to Oakland to find work as a seamstress and piano teacher. The family lived in extremely poor conditions in Oakland and Angela Isadora attended school until she was ten years old. School was too constricting for her and she decided to drop out. To make money for the family, Angela Isadora joined her three older siblings and began teaching dance to local children. She was not a classically trained dancer or ballerina. Her unique, novel approach to dance showed joy, sadness and fantasy, rediscovering the beautiful, rhythmical motions of the human body. Joseph remarried and started a new family, they all perished aboard the British passenger steamer SS Mohegan, which ran aground off the coast of the Lizard Peninsula of Cornwall England on the 14th of October in 1898. Only 91 out of 197 on board survived.  Eventually, Angela Isadora went east to audition for the theater. In Chicago, she auditioned for Augustin Daly, who was one of the most influential men in American theater during his lifetime. She secured a spot in his company, which took her to New York City. In New York, she took classes with American Ballet dancer Marie Bonfanti. The style clashed with her unique vision of dance. Her earliest public appearances back east met with little success. Angela Isadora was not interested in ballet, or the popular pantomimes of the time; she soon became cynical of the dance scene. She was 21 years old, unhappy and unappreciated in New York, Angela Isadora boarded a cattle boat for London in 1898. She sought recognition in a new environment with less of a hierarchy. When she arrived, ballet was at one of its lowest ebbs and tightrope walkers and contortionists were dominating their shared music hall stages. Duncan found inspiration in Greek art, statues and architecture. She favored dancing barefoot with her hair loose and wore flowing toga wrapped scarves while dancing, allowing her freedom of movement. The attire was in contrast to the corsets, short tutus and stiff pointe shoes her audience was used to. Under the name Isadora Duncan, she gave recitals in the homes of the elite. The pay from these productions helped Isadora rent a dance studio, where she choreographed a larger stage performance that she would soon take to delight the people of France.  Duncan met Desti in Paris and they became best friends. Desti would accompany Isadora as she found inspiration from the Louvre and the 1900 Paris Exposition where Loie Fuller, an American actress and dancer was the star attraction. Fuller was the first to use theatrical lighting technique with dance, manipulating gigantic veils of silk into fluid patterns enhanced by changing coloured lights.  In 1902, Duncan teamed up with Fuller to tour Europe. On tour, Duncan became famous for her distinctive style. She danced to Gluck, Wagner and Bach and even Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. Female audiences adored her despite the mixed reaction from the critics. She inspired the phenomenon of young women dancing barefoot, scantily clad as woodland nymphs who crowded theaters and concert halls throughout Europe. Contracts and the commercialization of the art while touring distracted Isadora from her goal, educating the young on her philosophy of dance. "Let us first teach little children to breathe, to vibrate, to feel, and to become one with the general harmony and movement. Let us first produce a beautiful human being. let them come forth with great strides, leaps and bounds, with lifted forehead and far-spread arms, to dance.” In 1904, she moved to Berlin to open the Isadora Duncan School of Dance. The school had around 20 students who mostly had mothers who were the primary breadwinners, and the fathers were either ill or absent. The school provided room and board for the students. For three years, her sister, Elizabeth Duncan was the main instructor, while Isadora was away, funding the school from tour. Elizabeth was not free spirited like her sister and taught in a strict manner. During the third year, Duncan had a child with theater designer Gordon Craig. Deirdre Beatrice, born September 24, 1906. At the school, Duncan created a new troupe of six young girls. Anna, Maria, Irma, Elizabeth, Margot, and Erica. The group was called the "Isadorables", a nickname given to them by the French poet Fernand Divoire. At the start of World War I, the Isadorables were sent to New York with the rest of the new students from Bellevue.  Occultist Aleister Crowley founded the religion of Thelema. He identified himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. Isadora and her bohemian companion Desti fell into his circle after meeting him at a party. Crowley fell in love with Desti and she became a member of Crowley's occult order.  Crowley published widely over the course of his life and wrote that Duncan "has this gift of gesture to a very high degree. Let the reader study her dancing, if possible in private than in public, and learn the superb 'unconsciousness' — which is magical consciousness — with which she suits the action to the melody." Duncan had a love affair with Paris Singer, one of the many sons of sewing machine magnate Isaac Singer. The fling resulted in a son, Patrick Augustus, born May 1, 1910. A year later, Isadora was dancing on tables until dawn at the Pavillon du Butard hunting lodge mansion in the gardens of Versailles. Paul Poiret, the French fashion designer and founder of the haute couture house, known to throw lavish parties, was recreating the roman festival Bacchanalia hosted by Louis XIV at Versailles. On the table in a Poiret Greek evening gown, Duncan tried to not knock over the 900 bottles of champagne that were consumed by the 300 guests. The following year Isadora acquired the Hôtel Paillard in Paris,  which she turned into her new temple of dance called Dionysion. Dionysion was the name of a poem  that Crowley  had published.   Which   maakes m e  curious  how far into Crowleys cult did Isaadora dive? On a rainy afternoon Annie Sims, Isadora's nanny, loaded the children into the car for a drive to meet Isadora in Versailles. Morverand, the chauffeur, had only just pulled onto the road, when a taxi-cab bolted towards the car. Morverand jammed on his brakes, causing the engine to also stop. He got out of the car to check the engine, and turned the starting lever and the car bounded forward towards the river, down the river bank and plunged down 30 feet into the Seine. Morverand was left standing on the street. In the downpour of rain, few were out and about. The only witness, a young woman who watched the car exit the gate then crash, ran back to Duncan's house. Augustine, Isadora's brother, was the  only one home. Augustine ran to the scene, seized Morverand by the throat and knocked him down on the bank. A crowd of boatmen stopped the fight and began looking for the sunken car. The search lasted an hour and a half. A motor boat that was dragging the river discovered the car, which was hauled to the surface, where the bodies of the nanny and Isadora's two small children were found inside. Two doctors made efforts to save them but there was no luck. Morverand gave himself up at the police commissary. He explained that he did not understand how the accident happened. All of Paris was sympathetic.  Isadora went through a depression while mourning her children, and spent several months on the Greek island of Corfu with her brother and sister. She then went for a stay at the Viareggio Seaside Resort in Italy, where she met the beautiful and rebellious actress Eleonora Duse. Duse wore men's clothing and was one of the first women in Italy to openly declare her queerness.  The two had a romantic fling in Italy yet Duncan was desperate for another child. She became pregnant  after begging the young sculptor Romano Romanelli, basically an Italian stranger to sleep with her. She gave birth to a son on August 13, 1914 but he died a few hours after birth. She immediately returned  to the States. Three months later Duncan was living in a townhouse in Gramercy Park in New York City. Dionysion was moved to Manhattan in a studio at 311 Fourth Avenue on the northeast corner of 23rd Street and Fourth Avenue. The area is now considered Park Avenue South. One month later, The Isadorables made their American debut on December 7, 1914 at Carnegie Hall with the New York Symphony.  Mabel Dodge, who owned an avant garde salon at 23 Fifth Avenue, the point of rendezvous for the whole of New York's of the time, described The Isadorables: "They were lovely, with bodies like cream and rose, and faces unreal with beauty whose eyes were like blind statues, as though they had never looked upon anything in any way sordid or ordinary". Duncan used the ultra modern Century Theater at West 60th Street and Central Park West for her performances and productions. The keys were gifted to Duncan by Otto Kahn, sometimes referred to as the "King of New York". Kahn was a German-born American, a well known investment banker, appearing on the cover of Time Magazine. He reorganized and consolidated railroads, was a philanthropist, a patron of the arts and served as the chairman of the Metropolitan Opera. Isadora, somehow, was evicted from the Century by the New York City Fire Department after one month. Duncan felt defeated and decided to once again leave the States to return to Europe to set up school in Switzerland. She planned to board the RMS Lusitania, but her financial situation at the time drove her to choose a more modest crossing. The Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat 11 miles off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 passengers and crew.   During her voyage to Europe, Isadora discovered that their manager had arranged for a tour for the Isadorables without her. She was so upset that she stopped speaking to her students, despite the man's actions being completely out of their control. After struggling to keep afloat there, the school was dispelled and the younger students sent home to their families. The girls eventually made up with Duncan and in 1917 Isadora adopted all six Isadorables. Yet troubles ensued. The Isadorables were living in Long Island and Isadora urged them to leave New York. Each girl, except for Gretel, had fallen in love and did not wish to go. When Isadora found out her brother Augustine assisted the group in a performance at the Liberty Theater, she forbade them from continuing, producing a legal contract which prevented them from separating from her. They had no choice but to cancel their time at the Liberty. The girls eventually left Duncan a few years later but stayed together as a group for some time. While Duncan ran another school in Paris that was shortly closed due to World War I, the girls entertained troops in the US.  Isadora Duncan went against traditional cultural standards. Her scandalous love life as bisexual made her a controversial figure on the front pages of the papers. She was a feminist, a Darwinist, a Communist and an atheist. Her leftist sympathies took her to the Soviet Union at the end of the Russian Revolution. To her, it seemed to be the land of promise. Duncan opened a school in Moscow and Irma, one of the Isadorables, took the teaching position at the school while Isadora toured and performed. She met the poet Sergey Aleksandrovich Yesenin, eighteen years her junior in Russia and they were married in May of 1922, even though matrimony was against her beliefs. Together, they left for a US tour. Fear of the “Red Menace” was at its height in North America, and the couple was unjustly labeled as Bolshevik agents.  On tour in Boston, she waved a red scarf and bared her breast on stage in Boston, proclaiming, "This is red! So am I!" For this, her American citizenship was revoked. As she left the country, Duncan bitterly told reporters: “Good-bye America, I shall never see you again!” Yesenin's increasing mental instability turned him against her and they were ultimately unhappy. He returned alone to the Soviet Union after the tour and committed suicide. Her spotlight was dimming, her fame dwindled. For a number of years she lived out public dramas of failed relationships, financial woes, and drunkenness on the Mediterranean and in Paris, running up debts at hotels. Her financial burdens were carried by a decreasing number of friends and supporters who encouraged her to write her autobiography. They believed the books success could support her extravagant waywardness. On September 14, 1927 in Nice, France Duncan was asked to go on a drive with the handsome French-Italian mechanic Benoît Falchetto in a sporting car made by the French Amilcar company. Desti sat with Isadora as she dressed for the occasion. Duncan put on a long, flowing, hand-painted silk scarf created by the Russian-born artist Roman Chatov. Desti asked her to instead wear a cape in the open-air vehicle because of the cold weather, but Isadora paid no mind. A cool breeze blew from the Riviera as the women met Falchetto at the Amilcar. The engine made a rumble as Falchetto put on his driving-goggles. Isadora threw the enormous scarf around her neck and hopped in. She turned to look at Desti and said "Adieu, mes amis. "Je vais à l'amour", "I am off to love'. They sped off and Isadora leaned back in her seat to enjoy the sea breeze. The wind caught her enormous scarf that, tragically, blew into the well of the rear wheel on the passenger side, wrapping around the open-spoked wheel and rear axle. Isadora was hurled from the open car in an extraordinary manner, breaking her neck and nearly decapitating her. Instantly killing her.  At the time of her death, Duncan was a Soviet citizen. Her will was the first Soviet citizen to undergo probate in the United States.  In medicine, the Isadora Duncan Syndrome refers to injury or death consequent to entanglement of neckwear with a wheel or other machinery. The accident gave rise to Gertrude Stein's mordant remark that “affectations can be dangerous.” Duncan was known as "The Mother of Dance" was cremated, and her ashes were placed in the columbarium at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. On the headstone of her grave is inscribed École du Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris ("Ballet School of the Opera of Paris"). Duncan's autobiography My Life was published in 1927. The Australian composer Percy Grainger called it a "life-enriching masterpiece."  A plaque commemorating Isadora Duncan's place of birth is at 501 Taylor Street on Lower Nob Hill, fittingly near the Theater District in San Francisco. San Francisco renamed an alley on the same block from Adelaide Place to Isadora Duncan Lane. 

"First it is ridiculed, then it is persecuted, then it is marketed."  So says Blake Malliway, quoting one of his teachers from Glastonbury, England.  Blake and Wycke Malliway are the village witches of Rogers Park, Chicago, Illinois, having established a shop on Morse avenue that offers what one would expect a shop for witchcraft to offer.  (To view the shop, watch the Mr. Marty Show by clicking on this link)  Though you ng men, the Malliway Bros. Shop and the courses, spells, wards, charms, candles, relics and bones conjure up something much older and deeper.  That is where their training in Glastonbury, (a "university town of witchcraft") and Cornwall England come into play.  Under the tutelage of practicing village witches, the Malliway Bros. bring to the shores of Lake Michigan some serious magic.  And though they happily embrace the imagery and support for magic that the Harry Potter movies created, they are by no means dabbling in some passing fancy.  These two witches, and the coven of witches, they have formed in this part of Illinois are serious practitioners of the art.   Through it all, they have faced the bias and fear that has been part of the witch practice since time immemorial.  But they have also found a great acceptance in the community, from the curious to those who seek knowledge and those who need a good spell.   Carefree, open and very approachable, the Malliway Brothers are happy to call Rogers Park home.  And we are happy to have two very good village witches.

James Stead is not a normal individual. Well, maybe  if you're the kind of person who enjoys six hour swims in the ocean in temperatures below 60 Fahrenheit or 15 degrees Celcius. James is training to swim the notorious English Channel....Something that less than 1900 people have done solo, not in a relay…. 8,200 people have taken part in channel crossings….It's a distance of about 21 miles, with a current pushing the swimmer sideways...there are jellyfish, ships, whales….I think of it as  the mount Everest of swimming, and for those who have done it successfully, they are in an elite group, indeed.63.0% of swimmers have been male.37.0% of swimmers have been female.Doing some research for this episode with James I discovered that the legendary Swimming Hall of Fame coach Doc Counsilman of Indiana University, mark Spitz' coach…..a man who endeavored to recruit me to swim under his leadership at Inidaina when I was a high school senior, had in that year himself completed the english channel in 13 hours and 7 minutes, ata the time he was the oldest to cross successfully….had he told me that in one of the many phone calls I received from him, who knows, maybe I would've gone to Indiana University….ahhh such is fate on which path to take when we approach forks in the road….Back to James, he's been training like a man possessed, and his English Channel crossing is scheduled within a week's time….James is the husband of my the Happiness Quotient guest Elisabeth Sharp McKetta, episode #78, Elisabeth is the brilliant author and creative writing teacher at Harvard and Oxford. Here is that episode:https://www.buzzsprout.com/268133/8451398I spoke with James on May 18, 2021….where he was training on a Lake in the Lake District, not too far from where he and his wife and children are living now in Cornwall England….I've trained hard in my life on many occasions….for mountains, swimming events, trail racing, and for life in general. The commitment and mindset to train for the English Channel is honestly something I wonder if I'd have the right stuff for….well, I don't like swimming in any water deep enough  where I can't see the bottom...there might be a snapping turtle or worse, right?See, I told you James wasn't normal, right? That's my kind of person…..Here's my conversation with James Stead about his decision to swim the E C and the incredible physical and mental rigors of training for his swim, which is coming within hours of this episode going live.=========For more information about Thom Dharma Pollard:http://eyesopenproductions.com/For a free downloadable copy of A Course In Happiness:www.patreon.com/thehappinessquotient

In this episode, we dig into what it's like to work as a surf guide/instructor at a surf camp while traveling abroad. I met this guy down in Nicaragua where he was working as an instructor for a surf camp. He has 8 years of experience working as a surf instructor in Cornwall England (see VW: 4 for part one of our conversation and for more info on his experience there). During the second part of the conversation, we cover the differences between working at a surf camp abroad vs. a typical seasonal surf school/shop, working with clients for a week or more at a time, compensation, the importance of establishing your motivations, crucial questions to ask employers before accepting a job, and a whole lot more.For custom job alerts and access to the Cheat Sheet Library (detailed notes of all the VW podcast episodes) be sure to register to Vagabond Work.Support the show (http://vagabondwork.com/custom)

This is a full episode from my radio show on campus. I removed the required PSA's and cleaned up the audio a little. Smuggling through history was a way for people to avoid the high taxes given by the government. This episode focuses on some of the reasons why smuggling happened in France, England and parts of the US in the 1700s - 1800's. One little port in Cornwall England was one of the biggest smuggling rackets at that time. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/meghan-brooks/support

Ignore the fact that i say this is symptom 130, it is 129. This week is a dual review, first we review the 1967 disaster They Came From Beyond Space, but we are also reviewing Horror Hotel - a syndicated “Horror Host” show hosted by Lamia, Queen of the Dark. The movie is horrendous. I wouldn’t try to figure out what is going on because I am not sure the writers knew. Aliens invade Cornwall England, because. They have mind control powers and one scientist is immune. The aliens need humans to build them a spaceship to get home. Dr. Temple tells the “Master of the Moon” they didn’t need to enslave Earth but just ask. A handshake later and the movie ends…Horror Hotel on the other hand is great. Lamia continues the great tradition of Horror Hosts in the tradition of an Elvira or Vampira or even Ghoulardi. She gives factoids about the movie and its production as well as mixing in fun bits during breaks in the film. So give Horror Hotel a look and check it out.

Transcripts:A flat screen on the back of the front wall panel is showing a documentary on a loop: BIOSPHERES AND THE RISE OF BOTANICAL CAPITAL The documentary explores three large-scale enclosed complexes, which reproduce fully controlled sections of the natural world: The Eden Project in Cornwall England, the MELiSSA (Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative) in Barcelona and the Biosphere 2 in Oracle, Arizona. Text reads: Since Climatron in St. Louis Missouri in the 1960s, large scale interiors housing whole biomes of climatic regions have emerged in recent years reflecting the hubris of late-modern capitalism in the heightened combination of entertainment and ecology within a controlled environment. These closed worlds are not only key sites of engineering and environmental production, but also revive what was previously considered a utopian project in the postwar period, to temper and fabricate the environment as a site of architectural production. Similarly to the botanical worlds of Eden and Biosphere 2, the Masdar Institute in the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai Ski Centre, the New Century Global Centre in Chengdu, China, as well as the integrated casino resorts in Macau, the recent revival of artificial manufactured natures is astonishing to witness and analyse, as a paradoxical response to the global energy crisis and the intensification of detrimental natural events. Biospheres were born under the background of a persistent public belief that catastrophe, due to climate change and insufficient resources, is imminent and thus emulates a new technologically equipped type of “spaceship earth,” or a Noah's ark for the earth's depleting flora.

Transcript:This is an audio described tour of the exhibition ‘Closed Worlds', at University of Technology Gallery Sydney - 7th May to 28th June 2019.Curated by Lydia Kallipoliti.Standing outside the gallery in the foyer space near the lifts, and looking into the gallery through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall that forms the front of the gallery - the extended title of the exhibition is featured in large black vinyl lettering applied to the glass.The title reads:The Architecture of Closed Worlds Or, What Is the Power of Shit?In a heavy uppercase sans-serif font, with each letter tightly packed against the next, and the narrow notches used to create the shapes of the letters in the thick black lines creating a compacted effect that is difficult to read close- up.Looking through to the gallery within; to an open rectangular space with grey concrete floor, and white walls. The floorspace is clear, but the airspace within the room is filed with a series of suspended white cylinders, about 90 cm in diameter and 50cm deep, resembling large lampshades hanging from the ceiling. Each of these is open at the top and bottom, and hanging at varying heights above the ground. Each one features a different question in the same dense black font, such as:How clean is your indoor air? Can the body plug into the computer? Can curved walls keep your house warm in 47 degree weather? Are fish reproductive in outer space? How feasible is a ‘zero-carbon city' in the middle of the desert?Just before entering the gallery, there is a free-standing wall on the left with a panel of text facing outwards.The text reads, in part:Closed Worlds, curated by Lydia Kallipoliti, exhibits an archive of 41 historical living prototypes from 1928 to the present that put forth an unexplored genealogy of closed resource regeneration systems.Prototypes are presented through unique discursive narratives with historical images, and each includes new analysis in the form of a feedback drawing that problematises the language of environmental representation by illustrating loss, derailment, and the production of new substances and atmospheres.Each drawing displays a feedback loop, wherein man's physiology of ingestion and excretion becomes the combustion device of an organisational system envisioned for humans, animals, and other live species. The moments of failure portrayed when closed worlds escape the designed loop cycles raise a series of questions about the ontology of autonomous enclosures.To read the text panel in full, go to the next link.A flat screen on the back of the front wall panel is showing a documentary on a loop:To read the Video wall text panel, go to the next link.On entering the gallery, which is 14.5m long x 12m wide, there is a large floor-to-ceiling poster hanging on the left-hand wall. This is made up of four panels of tarpaulin, printed with scattered panels of text, images and large- font titles. This poster displays speculative design projects, various figures of types of man and buildings designed by architects, and references to relevant legislation and closed system guidelines.Wrapping around the far long wall and shorter one at the end of the room is a timeline spanning both walls - 24 metres in length.This timeline features all 41 projects featured in the exhibition in a horizontal trajectory that includes black geometric symbols to indicate project types, and coloured vertical bars to show types of net zero impact There is a clear perspex rack containing printed pamphlets with information about each project that can be selected for further reading by visitors.There is a text panel at the start of the timeline which reads, in part:Welcome to Closed Worlds...We invite you to explore various elements of the exhibition and to take home leaflets that expand upon each of the 41 prototypes displayed in the gallery. To learn more, please visit the lexicon on environmental history derived from the study of the 41 prototypes at www.closedworlds.netThe 41 projects are arranged chronologically, as follows: 01 1928 Cunningham Sanatorium/ 02 1931 FNRS Balloon/ 03 1943 AquaLung Amphibian Man/ 04 1956 House of the Future/ 05 1956Thermo Balloon/ 06 1960 Climatron/ 07 1960 Feedback Manand so on...The visitor now has a choice as to whether to follow the timeline around the wall to look at the projects in historical order, or to enter the open space containing the floating cylinders, to duck and eave amongst them and choose to enter the semi-enclosed headspace that each one offers to view the information provided inside.The cylinders are 90cm wide in diameter, and 40cm high. There are 41 in total. Each one poses a large-font question on the outside, and contains a wealth of information in text and graphic form.Let's take a look at a few of these cylinders as an example:#3 1943 Aqualung: Can Man become an Amphibian? Jacques Cousteau and Emile Gagnan / Paris, France 1943Text reads: Even though devices already existed that enabled underwater breathing, the aqualung was significant in its ability to allow a diver to stay submerged for much longer periods of time.Invented by undersea explorer, researcher, and photographer, Jacques Cousteau and French engineer, Emile Gagnan, the Aqualung differed from other compressed-air devices at the time due to its demand regulator which delivered air to the diver at the appropriate pressure on demand. In order for humans to begin to freely explore the sea, Cousteau and Gagnan's invention created a simple and safe device that opened the door for further exploration and interest in the undersea world.Turning clockwise within the display tube at eye level, a panel of diagrams. Illustrations show the three-cylinder apparatus from different angles, with straps to harness it around the chest, and a mouthpiece for breathing into.A flowchart on the right shows various symbols under the headings Closed Worlds, and Odum's Energese, with corresponding definitions such as Conversion Energy Loss, and System Input/Output.Numbered paragraphs further round on the right briefly outline various features and drawbacks of the project. For example: One- way exhaust valve: A valve used to enforce a one-way operation of a system, allowing waste to be expelled without the entrance of new material. A one-way exhaust valve was used in Jacques Cousteau's Aqualung to enable a full exhalation of air into the surrounding water without any intake of water to the system.Another example- Experimental Casualties1: While the Aqualung was a success, many deaths occurred while experimenting undersea breathing technology, from the Bends to embolisms. The Aqualung is still used in modern diving technology today in improved models.As we turn clockwise again within the cylindrical display unit, another series of illustrations and photographs from different periods. A dated looking drawing of an early version of a diving outfit depicts a man with webbed footwear and a large inflated balloon attached to his back. Patent drawings of Cousteau's designs for demand regulator and mouthpiece. A photograph showing a hamster and a mouse suspended in supersaturated liquid oxygen containers.Let's jump into another cylinder...#20 1972 The Ecological House What is The Power of Shit? Graham Caine and the Street Farmers / South London, England, 1972Text reads: In 1972, Graham Caine, a member of the anarchist group Street Farmers, built a house as a laboratory and a living experiment empowered by his own excrement. The Ecological House was not only a fully functioning integrated system that successfully converted human waste to methane for cooking, but was also built by its architect, who used himself and his family as a guinea pig.Ecological House features a complex architectural diagram, and this project is also featured in the VR experience.To hear more about the VR experience, go to the next link...#33 1991 Biosphere II Can Humanity Recreate Itself in a Miniature Earth Bubble? Biosphere II remains the largest and most famous closed ecological system ever built. Its purpose was to test the viability of a biologically regenerative artificial environment in order to support human habitat in space. Space Biospheres Venture - a venture between Ed Bass, a businessman and philanthropist, and John P. Allen, a systems ecologist and environmentalist - spent approximately 200 million dollars to build and sustain the facility. Biosphere two supported two experiments where a team of scientists would lock themselves from the exterior world and create their own food and air supply within a heavily sequestered and maintained series of ecosystems.Project 33 - Biosphere 2 is featured in the video screening on the wall, in which archival footage can be seen showing people waving and farewelling visitors attending the sealing- in of the scientists, and later awaiting their re-entry into the outside world. The waiting visitors hold placards featuring slogans such as ‘Welcome Back to Bioshpere1 (the earth).More information about the video can be read at this link.Virtual Reality Experience:Living in an ecological microcosm virtual reality experienced by Amber Bartosh. The closed worlds VR experience positions you as a user within a virtual diagram of two ecological houses built in the 1970s in London and Sydney. Both houses were built as laboratories and living experiments. They were occupied by their architects as part of the experiment. Virtual reality initiates an experience through different sounds and perspectives to convey the conversion of waste to energy. Your involvement evolves as you move, following the flow of energy and materials inside the ecological microcosms there are two choices in the virtual reality headsets. The ecological House and the Sydney Autonomous House and The ecological House/ Graham Caine, London 1972. One of the earliest ecological houses the ecological house or street farm house was built in Eltham, South London in 1972, as a laboratory and living experiment by Graham Kane, a member of the anarchist group. Street Farmers, originally formed by Peter Crump and Bruce Hackett. The ecological house was a fully functional integrated system that converted human waste to methane for cooking as well as maintained a hydroponic greenhouse with radishes, tomatoes even bananas. Caine, then a 26 year old fourth year student at the Architectural Association of London, designed and built the ecological house on borrowed land from Thames Polytechnic, as part of his diploma thesis at the AA. He received a provisional two year permit from the borough of Woolwich district survey with the promise to build an inhabitable housing laboratory that would grow vegetables out of household influence and fertilise the land with reprocessed organic waste. After having lived in the house for two years with his family, Caine was asked to destroy it. In 1975 throughout the construction process Caine used himself and his family as a guinea pig in order to test the function of several components of the house. He experimented with his waste, his cooking habits, his use of water, monitoring closely every activity of daily practice until the day the house was demolished. Caine was undoubtedly the steward of the house. He alone knew how to feed the house with the right nutrients how to chop wood grow plants supply the engines and water the greenhouse. The architect, therefore was an indispensable biological part of the house he built and portrayed himself as a combustion engine for generating electricity connected to the house in a diagram where excretion becomes a vital constituent of the system's sustenance in many respects, the house was more grown than constructed. It needed care from its caretaker and without human presence, it's living by a technical systems would degenerate and die describing his house as a life support system, Caine satirically argued that the architect now being involved with the House's biological cycles may now relate to his own shit.Research by Lydia Kallipoliti. The Sydney autonomous House Sydney 1974-1978In the mid 1970s architecture students at the University of Sydney gave Australia its first autonomous house. Their ambitions were grounded in broad environmental and social concerns but more specifically responded to a global energy anxiety emerging from the 1973 oil crisis. Encouraged by. The charismatic and politically engaged lecturer Colin Cole James, around twenty excited students used scavenged and recycled materials to build a structure on campus that could test the integration of various technologies for domestic self-sufficiency. The project included a wind driven generator for power and the students own designs for a beer bottle Trombe-Michele greenhouse wall, flat plate solar hot water heater and methane digester. While the students embarked on a DIY showcase for closed systems ecological design, they ended up with much more. A dozen people or more turned the structure into a home and continued to expand and tinker with it, installing a sleeping loft, growing a permaculture garden raising goats building a Coolgardie safe. All the while monitoring and reflecting on the experience. Exploring models for more ecologically attuned design and dwelling became as important as any technical testing. In the end, what was meant to be a one year student led design build exercise spilled over into a four year public experiment in sustainable living that gained coverage in national and international press. The house was host to a series of utopian energy fairs where children ran amongst the rabbit hutches, goat pen and the organic vegetable garden. It featured in television programs magazine articles and was visited by thousands of people. A mail order path that distributed the students on reflections on their strange experiment which they'd come to call the 'celluloid house' due to its media profile. The intermittent power supply, overheating greenhouse and malfunctioning methane digester had offered some hard lessons to offset the effusive interest. The students faltering, sometimes naive attempts to build a functioning autonomous house, grew into a sustained everyday engagement with an assortment of issues from environmental pollution and resource depletion to consumerism and centralised industrialisation. The redesign of the domestic realm, offered particular possibilities at a time when the personal was becoming articulated as political. The Sydney Autonomous House, became a site with a students private actions and budding professional practices could align with planetary needs. The emerging ecological consciousness of the 1970s manifested through building. Still the experiment was barely tolerated by much of the faculty. University administration detested the ramshackle eyesore in their backyard. It was bulldozed in late 1978. Research by Lee StickellsA flat screen on the back of the front wall panel is showing a documentary on a loop:BIOSPHERES AND THE RISE OF BOTANICAL CAPITAL The documentary explores three large-scale enclosed complexes, which reproduce fully controlled sections of the natural world: The Eden Project in Cornwall England, the MELiSSA (Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative) in Barcelona and the Biosphere 2 in Oracle, Arizona. Text reads: Since Climatron in St. Louis Missouri in the 1960s, large scale interiors housing whole biomes of climatic regions have emerged in recent years reflecting the hubris of late-modern capitalism in the heightened combination of entertainment and ecology within a controlled environment. These closed worlds are not only key sites of engineering and environmental production, but also revive what was previously considered a utopian project in the postwar period, to temper and fabricate the environment as a site of architectural production. Similarly to the botanical worlds of Eden and Biosphere 2, the Masdar Institute in the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai Ski Centre, the New Century Global Centre in Chengdu, China, as well as the integrated casino resorts in Macau, the recent revival of artificial manufactured natures is astonishing to witness and analyse, as a paradoxical response to the global energy crisis and the intensification of detrimental natural events.Biospheres were born under the background of a persistent public belief that catastrophe, due to climate change and insufficient resources, is imminent and thus emulates a new technologically equipped type of “spaceship earth,” or a Noah's ark for the earth's depleting flora.Lydia Kallipoliti and Daniel Ruan Sponsored by the Robert S.
