The 35 Most Amazing Libraries In The World - 17. Jay Walker’s Private Library
Jay Walker’s Private Library
Jay Walker is an American inventor and entrepreneur who has used his wealth to develop a notable private library. Walker has dubbed his Library “The Walker Library of the History of Human Imagination.” The Library is located in his Connecticut home and contains more than 50,000 books including many early works and museum worthy items. The architecture is a multi-level design inspired by the surreal works of M.C. Escher. Wired called the library “the most amazing library in the world” and Walker has discussed the library in a TED talk. Unfortunately, the library is not open to the public, but Walker has been known to host notable public figures.

Explanation: This graceful arc traces a Delta rocket climbing through Thursday's early morning skies over Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, USA. Snug inside the rocket's Centaur upper stage were NASA's twin Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP), now in separate orbits within planet Earth's Van Allen radiation belts. Reflected in the Turn Basin from a vantage point about 3 miles from Space Launch Complex 41, the scene was captured in a composite of two exposures. One highlights the dramatic play of launch pad lighting, clouds, and sky. A subsequent 3 minute long exposure records the rocket's fiery trail. While most spacecraft try to avoid the radiation belts, named for their discoverer James Van Allen, RBSP's mission will be to explore their dynamic and harsh conditions.

L'Histoire du Jazz - 13/17. Le Post Bop - John Coltrane - My favourite things" - Video - Music - Live
13. Le Post Bop
Le Post Bop est un terme un peu fourre-tout, qui englobe tout ce qui a été fait en jazz durant les années 60, montrant des ressemblances avec le hard bop, le free jazz et le jazz modal, mais ne pouvant pas être fermement catégorisé dans l’un de ces styles. Il n’est donc pas étonnant que les fers de lance de ces mouvements soient associés au post bop : Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock et John Coltrane ne sont pas en effet des inconnus. Ce terme de post bop est en fait assez récent, il n’existait pas durant les sixties, ce qui confirme qu’il ne s’agissait pas vraiment d’un courant très marqué, mais plutôt de légères modifications de ce qui existait déjà, tandis que certains le considèrent comme étant le chaînon entre le bebop et le free jazz
