![]() Stacey Fox has creatively combined her talents into a way to translate science. Maybe it will inspire your creative pursuits. The video in this feature is mesmerizing and beautiful. It’s innovative and fascinating research you can learn more about in the MSUTODAY FEATURE: Octopus tentacles inspire better prosthetics for humans. They’re hoping to find a way to create similar connections for humans with prosthetics. She and her team are studying the way an octopus moves its limbs and the connection between its brain and its tentacles. MSU neuroscientist Galit Pelled has used her imagination to explore a way to create “smart” prosthetics for people. Someone’s pure imagination envisioned a way to change the world. Gene Wilder, as Willy Wonka, sang of changing the world using “pure imagination.” Isn’t that the truth? All of the greatest discoveries, inventions and works of art happened because someone dreamed about them first. I suppose there’s still time if I let my imagination run wild. But, somehow, I’m exhausted just staying at home. I keep meaning to finally sit down and try writing something longer and meaningful. I’m pretty sure those don’t qualify me for any note in the history books, but I’m OK with that. ![]() PURE IMAGINATION FREEMy free time is spent walking the dog, tackling home improvement projects, watching mindless television and having wine on the deck. I spend my days working hard, but I’m not changing the world - just sharing stories about the Spartans who are. Most days, I’m lucky if I remember to eat, shower and let the dog out. There have been no major scientific discoveries or literary masterpieces happening here at my house. He was only 24 years old at the time.ĭuring my time living in a pandemic quarantine, I’ve been significantly less productive. Isaac Newton developed calculus, formulated his law of gravitation and analyzed color, light and the spectrum while quarantining at his family farm during the Great Plague of London. I have no animus against Cargill, who I'd never heard of until today, and I am in no way suggesting that Cargill keeps sad-eyed cows in boxes with giant pumps attached that suck out their meat (although I shudder to think that Chipotle may have given Cargill ideas).It’s been said that Shakespeare wrote “King Lear” and “Macbeth” while being quarantined during the bubonic plague. To be clear, I'm not an anti-beef activist (I love beef, although try to stick to local, grass-fed). If it were a public company, it would rank, as of 2013, number 9 on the Fortune 500. Interestingly, according to Wikipedia, the parent company Cargill "is now the largest privately held corporation in the United States in terms of revenue. ![]() PURE IMAGINATION ZIPI found this by Googling "53281 beef" and discovered a number of Cargill meat-processing-related jobs being advertised in the 53281 zip code. PURE IMAGINATION CODEIn fact the 53281 zip code may just refer to a post office, since it doesn't have a geographic area attached. ![]() Another (perhaps remote) possibility is that 53281 is a reference to Cargill Beef, by their own description "one of North America’s largest beef processors, harvesting more than eight million cattle and producing nearly eight billion pounds of boxed beef and by-products each year".Īlthough Cargill Beef is based in Wichita, Kansas, it looks like one of the Cargill Meat Solutions plants is in Milwaukee, where the 53281 zip code is located (although the plant itself appears to be in the 53233 zip code). ![]()
