The Road ...[Ο Δρόμος... Ένα κόμικ για τον Λουκάνικο]

Ο Δρόμος... Ένα κόμικ για τον Λουκάνικο

Πριν λίγες μέρες έφυγε απ' τη ζωή ένας ωραίος σκυλάκος, που άκουγε στο όνομα Λουκάνικος. Ένας σκύλος γνωστός στον κόσμο της πόλης, που τον γνώρισε μέσα από τις πορείες και τις διαδηλώσεις.

Η είδηση του θανάτου του με άγγιξε βαθιά. Αισθάνθηκα την ανάγκη να αποδώσω έναν μικρό φόρο τιμής στον Λουκάνικο. Αρχικά σκέφτηκα να φτιάξω ένα πορτραίτο του... Στη συνέχεια όμως η σκέψη καρποφόρησε μέσα μου και μου ήρθαν άφθονες εικόνες και λόγια κατά νου. Αποφάσισα λοιπόν να γράψω και να σχεδιάσω ένα κόμικ...

Δύο μέρες μετά, το κόμικ είναι έτοιμο. Σε μια εποχή που οι άνθρωποι τείνουν να φέρονται σαν ζώα και ενίοτε να γαβγίζουν σαν σκυλιά, αυτός ο σκύλος μας θυμίζει πως μπορούμε να είμαστε ανθρώπινοι και ελεύθεροι ταυτόχρονα. Για τον Λουκάνικο λοιπόν - και όσα συμβολίζει.

A tribute to Loukanikos, the legendary Greek riot dog

The legendary Loukanikos, known for his fearless interventions during clashes with riot police in Athens between 2010-’12, has died at the age of 10.

Louki had retired from rioting in 2012 following a spell of ill-health. He was taken in by a loving family in whose presence he passed away today. Rest in peace, canine comrade!

Sound, Water and Camera Make A Zigzag of Awesome

Want to make water flow in a zig zag so it seems like the drops are suspended in space? How about looking like the water if flowing upwards?  It turns out you can do it with common home equipment, although sadly it only really works on camera, or with a strobe.

As the video's creator Brusspup explains, all you need is a powered speaker, a hose attached to a tap, some take and something that will generate sound at 24Hz through the speakers (tone generating software being suggested, but signal generators will work too or a tuba playing its lowest G would also work if that is more your thing). Most crucially you need a 24 frames per second (fps) camera.

The speaker causes the hose to vibrate, shaking it 24 times a second. To the naked eye this looks like something of a blur, but if your camera is also taking a shot every 24 seconds the video looks like the water is frozen in space, with just slight changes to the position of the drops.

Adjust the frequency up slightly and the water appears to be falling with marvelous slowness – the shaking now occurs every 0.04 seconds instead of 0.0417, so the drops appear to be moving at 4% of their real speed.

Things really get interesting when you make the frequency just slightly lower than the required speed (have your tuba player go to F). Now the water appears to move upwards. This is known as the wagon-wheel effect, after the way wheels in Westerns can seem to rotate the wrong way when they are moving more than half way round between frames.

To see the effects without a camera, run the experiment at night using a strobe light.
