In addition to the discovery of The Becker Hagens Grid,

Russian researchers Nikolai Goncharov,  Vyacheslav Morozov, and Valery Makarov  discovered a ‘Hyperdimensional’ grid that is linked to several of the Earths’  surface features. Basing their research on the work of American researcher Ivan T. Sanderson who found twelve so-called “Vile Vortexes” or energy disturbances located at equal distances on the surface of the Earth. The Russians plotted the framework on which these vortices lie, and found twin Platonic crystal structures in superimposition, combining to form a Double Icosahedron with a Double Dodecahedron.

In the large diagram below we are visualizing this Hyper-dimensional Earth Grid Geometry in six  stages.

Diagrams 1 and 2 show the Tetrahedron as seen from the North and South Poles respectively.

Diagram 3 shows the star tetrahedron created by the combination 1 and 2.

In diagram 4, we see the positioning of the surface icosahedron followed by the addition…

Imagining Global Amsterdam
History, Culture, and Geography in a World City

Edited by Marco de Waard

Imagining Global Amsterdam brings together new essays on the image of Amsterdam as articulated in film, literature, art, and urban discourse, considered within the context of globalization and its impact on urban culture.

Subjects include: Amsterdam’s place in global cultural memory; expressions of global consciousness in Amsterdam in the ‘Golden Age’; articulations of Amsterdam as a tolerant, multicultural, and permissive ‘global village’; and globalization’s impact ‘on the ground’ through city branding, the cultural heritage industry, and cultural production in the city.

Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, and united by a broad humanities approach, this collection forms a multifaceted inquiry into the dynamic relationship between Amsterdam, globalization, and the urban imaginary.

Here’s some information from Rachel Jones about a conference called ‘Visual Urbanism: Perspectives on Contemporary Research’, which is the inaugural conference organised by the new International Association of Visual Urbanists (iAVU).

It’s on Monday, 8 October 2012 at the British Library Conference Centre in London; tickets cost £10 including lunch, and you book online here.

The event asks: what does the emerging field of visual urbanism look like today? What is the current status of the visual within urban research? The city is a dynamic entity and the ways in which researchers visualise the urban continue to emerge and evolve alongside the shifting metropolis. This is the inaugural event of the new International Association of Visual Urbanists and is aimed at arts practitioners and researchers from the humanities and social sciences who have an interest in visual urbanism.

This interdisciplinary event will explore how urbanists use visual practice to…

Landforms:Alluvial Fan

An alluvial fan is a fan-shaped or cone-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and smaller materials. When water flows down a mountain, it picks up sand and other materials from the mountain. When the water reaches the base of the mountain and spreads out on to flat land, that material is deposited. As the material builds up over time, an alluvial fan is created.

The convergence, or blending, of several alluvial fans at the bottom of a mountain is called a bajada. Bajadas are common in dry climates, like the American Southwest. Bajadas can be narrow, from the flow of two or three streams of water, or they can be wide, combining dozens of alluvial fans.

Alluvial fans and bajadas can be found in deserts, where flash floods wash down material from nearby hills. They can also be found in wetter climates, where streams are more common.

Over time, water flowing down the Koshi River in Nepal has built up an alluvial fan over 150,000 square kilometers (almost 58,000 square miles) as it flows out of the Himalayan foothills. In 2008, heavy rainfall caused the river to overflow its banks and spread out onto the alluvial fan where people lived. Over a million people were left without a home because of the flooding.

Alluvial fans exist on other planets. The presence of alluvial fans on Mars gives evidence for the existence of liquid water on the planet billions of years ago.
