![]() While the chair’s silhouette was unusual for the time, so too were its three legs. ![]() Assisted by his then-apprentice Verner Panton, who would apply what he learned at Jacobsen’s practice to his own Cone chair and more, Jacobsen applied the Eameses’ groundbreaking ideas to the construction of his two-piece Ant chair - a seat and backrest made from a single piece of molded plywood supported by tubular metal legs. Originally called the Model 3100 and designed for the cafeteria of Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, the spare Ant chair ( Myren in Danish) was inspired by plywood furniture crafted by American designers Charles and Ray Eames. Over time, this attention to detail evolved into a pursuit of perfect proportions, a quality that is most prominent in his organic furniture pieces like the Ant chair. Soon after graduating from the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Jacobsen set up his own practice, through which he could further his ideal of “total design.” This meant that for the architecture projects he undertook - such as the revered SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen - he was involved in the design of everything down to the last detail: from the exterior structure to the door handles to the carpets. ![]() His Ant chair is part of his legacy of designing avant-garde, unusual and revolutionary chairs like the Egg, the Swan and the Drop.Īs a child, Jacobsen covered the Victorian wallpaper in his bedroom with white paint, the beginning of a lifetime of pioneering new ideas in design and architecture. ![]() But Arne Jacobsen (1902–71), the modernist Danish designer and architect, was always ahead of his time. For almost anybody else in the early 1950s, designing a three-legged chair inspired by the shape of an ant with its head raised would be unthinkable. ![]()

What explains this disastrous association of black people defamed as simian? A combination of factors might be the cause: To throw bananas in front of black sportspeople is a common racist provocation even today. ![]() This is just the latest chapter in a long and ugly line of stereotypes directed against different people like the Irish or Japanese, and Africans and African Americans in particular. AIDS in particular is said to have its origin in the careless dealings of Africans with simians, which they eat or whose blood they use as an aphrodisiac. Images that put men on a level with rats carrying epidemic plagues were part of the ideological escort of anti-Jewish and anti-Chinese racism.Īfrica is labelled as a contagious continent incubating pestilences of all sorts in hot muggy jungles, spread by reckless and sexually unrestrained people. They are closely related to the labelling of others with the language of contamination and disease. Labelled with diseaseĪnimalisation and even bacterialisation are widespread elements of racist dehumanisation. They recognised that the white public had been thoroughly conditioned by the dehumanising violence of animal comparisons and simianised representations, as in the reel racism of King Kong. The artists fully understood the interplay of racist ideology, reactionary reporting and southern injustice. The rest of the picture was filled with a monstrous black simian figure baring its teeth and dragging off a helpless white girl. One of the 56 images showed the group of the accused young men beside a newspaper with the headline “Guilty Rape”. ‘Scottsboro Alabama’ carried a foreword by Michael Gold, editor of the communist journal New Masses. ![]() In 1935 a picture story by the Japanese artist Lin Shi Khan and the lithographer Toni Perez was published. The Scottsboro Boys were nine black teenagers accused of having raped two young white women. The climax was the hugely successful classic of Hollywood’s horror factory, King Kong.Īt the time of King Kong’s production the public in the US was riveted by a rape trial. It popularised its repellent combination of sexist and racist representations. Literature, arts and everyday entertainment also seized on the issue. ![]() Anthropology, archaeology, biology, ethnology, geology, medicine, philosophy, and, not least, theology were some of the fields. In the following centuries, simianisation would enter into different sciences and humanities. His intellectual contemporaries knew well that the stage for this transgressing love-and-rape-story was Africa because, according to the wisdom of the time, drills lived in Guinea. In the story’s first version (1570), a Portuguese woman was exiled to Africa where she was raped by an ape and had his babies.Ī good century onwards the story had entered the realm of Europe’s great philosophical thought when John Locke in his 1689 essay Concerning Human Understanding, declared that “women have conceived by drills”. The history of a narrative by Antonio de Torquemada shows how in this process Africans became demonised and the demons racialised. He characterised the region as a hotbed of monsters, arising from the sexual union of humans and animals. Already Jean Bodin, doyen of the theory of sovereignty, had ascribed the sexual intercourse of animals and humans to Africa south of the Sahara. She eagerly reciprocated and became helplessly hooked.įrom then on, the sexist manifestation of simianisation was intimately intertwined with its racist dimension. Several centuries later in 1633, John Donne in his Metempsychosis even let one of Adam’s daughters be seduced by an ape in a sexual affair. ![]() ![]() ![]() a kinked tube or obstructed outlet) then the flowmeter will still function accurately (i.e. Back pressure compensated – the float is between the valve and the oxygen source, so if pressure is applied distal to the tube (e.g. Thorpe tube (‘rotameter’) – variable orifice comes in either back pressure compensated or uncompensated type.There are three common types of gas flowmeter: A humidifier may also be connected directly to the flowmeter as discussed in the ‘humidification systems’ section below.įlowmeters help not only control the rate of oxygen flow to a patient but they also measure it – providing feedback on consumption to the clinician. The output connector is most often a standard threaded cylindrical connector which accepts a barbed, tapered adapter discussed in the next section. The input connector of the flowmeter can be one of multiple types, though commonly is a diameter index safety system (DISS) connector (other types are discussed in high pressure connector section below). Flow and pressure vary by brand/model though most commonly are in the 0-10 LPM range.įlowmeters (which are not already built into the cylinder or oxygen concentrator) have an input connector and an output connector. Most portable bedside oxygen concentrators have a built-in flow meter to adjust flow to the patients. By the time oxygen leaves the flowmeter, it is stepped down to lower pressure, and thus we are including this in the low pressure section (more on regulators later).įlowmeters may also be built into low pressure sources like an oxygen concentrator (so there may be no need to procure a separate flowmeter). This means a Thorpe flowmeter can be connected directly to the outlet from a regulator (~55 psi) from a cylinder, or the flowmeter may be connected to a terminal wall unit of a piped system (up to 55 psi).

But no… this game is about making choices and grow your seed for multiple, odd and funny results. What had I found? Mitoza defines itself as a toy, instead of a game, and I think that description suits it. I opened my laptop and start googling… Mi… to… za. I fell asleep, and woke up in my bedroom, confused but you know me, I had to get to the bottom of this! I was determined to get some food out of it, but guess what… no food, only weird reactions, vampires, giant flies, and… a new seed every single time. So, I kept choosing, the first time, I got my seed burnt to ashes and magically appeared a new one. The seed reacts to your choices, the first time I chose the flowerpot, right? after that a flowerpot showed up out of nowhere just for the seed to jump into it and buried into the soil, then a couple more options showed up. Uh… ok guys! I think I got it, this is Mitoza, and it is somehow weird, but somehow fun. I think this thing wants me to choose: Let’s pick… the flowerpot! WHOA! What’s this? A couple icons just appeared on the sides of the seed, one looks like a flowerpot and the other one is a bird. What would happen if I touched it? (Curious hand touches the seed). I’m entering into the light, right next to the… seed, I can see something written on the lightbulb, it says… Mitoza… Oooook! I’m inspecting the seed now, it looks like an apple seed or something, (I really hope there’s something or somewhere to eat around here, I’m starving!). If something happens to me, please tell my family I love them… What do you say? Should I go and see? Yeeeeeeah! I know you guys and you want me to be your guinea pig and let me tell you, I’m not that easy! Well, not that easy (…)Īlright now! I am easy! Let’s go! (Approaches slowly). I am curious but I would like to wait and see, maybe something happens. There is a spotlight and beneath it what appears to be some sort of seed. It is, in fact me… Sumroad, writing from a dark place, I don’t really know where, I just woke up here. The biological significance of mitosis is very high.It is Saturday, my friends and family… which means, The Modern Gamer has something for you today. It is difficult to imagine even the unimagined, what role the process of simple division of cells in the organism plays in the vital activity. The ability of cells to share is their most important function, the fundamental one. Without this, it is impossible to continue life on Earth, increase the populations of unicellular organisms, it is impossible to develop and continue the existence of a large multicellular organism, it is also impossible to reproduce sexually and develop a new life from a fertilized egg. The biological significance of mitosis would be muchless if the division of cells was not the essence of most of the biological processes taking place on our planet. The result of this is the mandatory multiplication of the genetic basis of one cell in two by duplicating the DNA, so that the mother cell subsequently gives life to two children.Īll life cells can be concluded in the period from the formation of the daughter to its subsequent division in two.Įach of them includes several actions inside the cell. This period is called "cell cycle" in biology. The very first phase of mitosis is actually thepreparation for cell division. The period in which cells endowed with nuclei perform direct preparation for division is called interphase. In it, all the most important things happen, namely, the doubling of the chain of DNA and other structures, as well as the synthesis of a large amount of protein. Thus, the chromosomes of the cell become doubled, and each half of such a double chromosome is called "chromatid."Īfter the interphase begins itselfthe process of division is mitosis. As a result, all doubled parts are stretched symmetrically across the cell, so that after the formation of the central partition in each new cell, the same amount of formed components remains. The phases of mitosis and meiosis are similar, but in the latter (whendivision of the sex cells), there are two divisions, and in the end, not two, but four cells-"daughters" are obtained. Also before the second division there is no doubling of the chromosomes, so their set in the daughter cells remains half.ġ. In this phase the centrioles of the cell are very clearly visible. They are present only in the cage of animals and humans. At this point, the prophase ends and the metaphase begins.ģ. At this point, the chromosomes lie on the "equator" of the cell.Ĥ. One "mother" cell is divided by forming a central septum into two "daughter" cells. The most important biological meaning of mitosis isabsolutely identical division of doubled chromosomes into 2 identical parts and placing them in two cells-"daughters". ![]() ![]() ![]() ~ Tamir Moore, Administrator & Author/tamirmooreblogspot.
