The evidence that EMR is harmful to not only sperm ; cells, but to the brain cells of test animals continues mount- ; ing, yet we continue in our state of denial, claiming that the ; harm has never been demonstrated in humans. And why not deny ; it? Cell phones and computer monitors are not only convenient, ; they are fun. ; ; We say the radiation harms only test animals? Do we not use ; test animals to determine if something is harmful to humans? I ; wonder how long it will be before we suddenly realize that the ; increased electromagnetic radiation in our modern world has been ; harming us, and rush to bring class-action law suits against the ; evil, greedy phone companies and cell-phone manufacturers, who ; will replace the evil, greedy tobacco companies in the future. ; And while we're at it, let's not forget the computer monitor ; manufacturers. Those old-style CRT monitors are also prodigious ; radiation emitters. ; ; Do not be deceived by today's image. It emits no electromagne- ; tic radiation. (The monitor emits the radiation.) Nor does the ; image lie on the X-axis. It is actually a scene in the fractal ; that results when Z^(-1) is subtracted from 1/10000 part of ; Z^10000, and 1/C is added. I named the image "A Myriad and ; Unity", a name that is rather deceiving, since Z^(-1) is not ; unity but rather 1/Z. ; ; The typical high-order features are prominent in the image, ; which renders in a speedy 7 minutes and combines with the rating ; of a 6 to give an overall value of 84. The most efficient way ; to view the image is to visit the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and download it from there. ; ; Perfect weather both Monday and Tuesday here at Fractal Central ; gave the cats a chance to do anything they wanted in the yard. ; In fact, we have had so many perfect days lately that the cats ; are actually becoming a bit bored with life in their own yard. ; I spotted them Tuesday afternoon exploring three yards up the ; hill, where the neighborhood alpha tomcat hangs out. Luckily, ; the bully cat was off somewhere else, and the dynamic duo made ; it back without a scratch. Today looks to be perfect again for ; the fractal cats. For me, there is still a lot of catching up ; to do. Until next FOTD, take care, and if the earth rotated in ; the opposite direction, the sun would move in the opposite direc- ; tion in the sky. Would this put North America in the Southern ; Hemisphere and Australia in the Northern Hemisphere? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ A_Myriad_and_Unity { ; time=0:07:07.57--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.499841076927818/-0.000000321473714/\ 8.357877e+008 params=0.0001/10000/-1/-1/0/0 float=y maxiter=1400 inside=0 logmap=138 periodicity=10 colors=00061FAJUDYgGpuIipJbkKXfLQaMJXNDSO6NP0IV6ZS\ S`PlbHefAZj3TmEXkO`iYdggheqkcnhelfgjdihbjf_ldYoaWr\ _UtYRvWPxUNzSLzQJyVRxZYwcdvgkuimudlqYfmS`iLWeFQa8K\ Y2FUGPOTZJehDyr8uqBrpDopGloIhnLenNbmQ`lSYlVWkXUj_S\ jaRhZRfXQeVQcSQbQP`OP_MOYJOXHOVFNUDNSAMR8MP6MO4NP8\ OQCPRGPSKQTNRURRVVSWZTXbTXeUWfVWfWWfXVgXVgYVgZUh_U\ h_Uh`TiaTibTibTiaSbaRXaQQaPKaPE_SGYUIWWJUYLT_MRaOP\ cPNfRLhSKjUIlVGnXEpYCr_Bt`EsZGsYIsWKsVMsTOsSQsQSsP\ UsNWsMXpNXnOXkPYiQYfRYdRZaSZ_TZXU_VV_SW_QWZPVSCHTB\ KUBNVBQVATWAWXAZY9aZ9dZ9gWDeTGcQKaNN_KQYHUWEXUB_TF\ YQJWONUMQSJUQHYOF`ND1aX5cV9dUDeTHfRLgQPiPTjOXkM`lL\ dmKgnJdlLajN_iOXgQUfSSdTPcVMaXK`YHZ_EYaCWc9We6Yg4_\ iQakjcmicohcqgcsfcufbweaxd`yc_zcZzb_zb_za`zaaz`bz`\ bz`dz_dz_ezZfzZgzYgzYizYizZjzZjz_kz`lzamzbnzbozapz\ `qz_rzZqzYtzXuzWvzVwzUxzTzzSzzSzzTyzTzzUzzUzzVzzVz\ zTzzSzzRzzPzzOzzNzzMzz9zz } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE================================== ; ;
