  • Orinda's Windsor Chair Guy-George Lucido
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | Orinda's Windsor Chair Guy-George Lucido Published June 22nd, 2011 Orinda's Windsor Chair Guy-George Lucido By Andrea A. Firth George Lucido was destined to work with wood. One of the first things he did when he moved to Orinda in 1984 was build a workshop out back, a small space of his own where he taught himself to carve wood. The walls of the workshop are lined with a collection of tools passed down by his grandfather, Orlando Pasquinucci, a shipbuilder in San Francisco around the turn of the century, and his father, Neno Lucido, who spent his career as a finish carpenter. "It's in my genes, I guess," says Lucido. After retiring as an aerospace engineer eleven years ago, Lucido has focused his extensive energy on woodworking. The workshop has been bumped out a few feet on two sides to accommodate his growing collection of tools, equipment, and wood. And about three years ago, he started to take classes at the Mount Diablo Adult Education Center where he met another Orinda resident, Tom Killen, a master woodworker who specializes in colonial furniture. It was Killen who introduced Lucido to the art of the Windsor chair. George Lucido at work on a chair in his workshop . An easy going and patient man with an engineer's Photos Doug Kohen focus on design and detail, Lucido had the right temperament and skill set to quickly master the complex and time consuming construction of the American Windsor chair-the elegant and lightweight wood chair of royal English roots with a gently curved back formed by turned spindles connected to a thick carved seat, supported by splayed legs plugged into the underside.

  • 14 Consciousness and Logic in a Quantum-Computing Universe
    14 Consciousness and Logic in a Quantum-Computing Universe Paola Zizzi Summary. The early inflationary universe can be described in terms of quantum information. More specifically, the inflationary universe can be viewed as a su- perposed state of quantum registers. Actually, during inflation, one can speak of a quantum superposition of universes. At the end of inflation, only one universe is selected, by a mechanism called self-reduction, which is consistent with Penrose’s objective reduction (OR) model. The quantum gravity threshold of (OR) is reached at the end of inflation, and corresponds to a superposed state of 109 quantum reg- isters. This is also the number of superposed tubulins – qubits in our brain, which undergo the Penrose–Hameroff orchestrated objective reduction, (Orch OR), lead- ing to a conscious event. Then, an analogy naturally arises between the very early quantum-computing universe, and our mind. In fact, we argue that at the end of in- flation, the universe underwent a cosmic conscious event, the so-called “Big Wow”, which acted as an imprinting for the future minds to come, with future modes of computation, consciousness and logic. The postinflationary universe organized it- self as a cellular automaton (CA) with two computational modes: quantum and classical, like the two conformations assumed by the cellular automaton of tubulins in our brain, as in Hameroff’s model. In the quantum configuration, the universe quantum-evaluates recursive functions, which are the laws of physics in their most abstract form. To do so in a very efficient way, the universe uses, as subroutines, black holes – quantum computers and quantum minds, which operate in parallel.

  • Revolving Windsor Chair
    16 Revolving Windsor Chair A few years ago it fell to me to write a story about Thomas Jefferson in a chess match with his slave Jupiter. This venture led to a play on the same subject, as well as research into the physical objects used as metaphorical vehicles for the ideas. In this regard, Jefferson makes it easy for us. One of the more obvious physical items is the revolving Windsor chair used by Jefferson when he was working to draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Having seen a picture of the chair in its surviving form and an- other picture of a re-creation of it, I undertook to make a similar one to use on stage. My version differs from the original in the use of a steam-bent arm rail rather than a sawn and carved one, because I could make a bent arm faster than a sawn one. Making this swivel Windsor is in some ways easier than making a normal one, in that the seat is circular rather than a sculpted outline. There are a lot of parts and processes to a Windsor chair, but with the exception of hollowing the seat, you have already seen how to do them all. Windsor chairs, as the name suggests, are of English design. Windsor chair-making in England centered around the town of High Wycombe, but the chairmaking did not begin in town. Out in the woods, workers called chair bodgers felled, split, and turned the beech legs on their springpole lathes, then sold these legs to chairmakers in town.

  • Response to the Scottish Government's Reducing Health Harms Of
    Response to the Scottish Government’s Reducing Health Harms of Foods High in Fat, Sugar or Salt Consultation Paper From Obesity Action Scotland Deadline: 9th January 2019 About Obesity Action Scotland Obesity Action Scotland welcomes this consultation and the opportunity to provide our views. Obesity Action Scotland is a unit that was established in summer 2015 to provide clinical leadership and independent advocacy on preventing and reducing overweight and obesity in Scotland. It is funded by a grant from the Scottish Government and hosted by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow on behalf of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and Faculties. The main aims of the Unit are: • To raise awareness and understanding of what drives obesity and the health problems associated with obesity and overweight with health practitioners, policy makers and the public • To evaluate current research and identify strategies to prevent obesity and overweight based on the best available evidence • To work with key organisations in Scotland, the rest of the UK and worldwide, to promote healthy weight and wellbeing • The Steering Group of Obesity Action Scotland has members across various disciplines involved in preventing and tackling obesity and its consequences e.g. clinicians, public health experts, epidemiologists, nutritionists and dieticians, GPs and weight management experts. General comments This consultation deals with restrictions of the promotion and marketing of foods high in fat, sugar and salt to reduce health harms associated with excessive consumption. We strongly agree that action in this area is urgently required. We support the Scottish Government in its aims to bring forward legislation in this area.
