FOTD -- August 18, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "Blattaria_Specimen", and the image certainly does resemble a specimen of the order. Actually, the image is a Julia set of the valley at the western extremity of the main bay of the Z^(1.05)+C Mandeloid as calculated at a tiny 0.024 turns up the complex logarithmic hyperspiral and a little into the imag(y) direction. The art rates a 6; we have been here several times before. The math rates a 7; we have been here before but not at this level of the hyperspiral. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes will pass in a semi-flash. The web sites will eliminate the flash. The finished image is available online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Perfect weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today. Perfection is described as blue skies decorated with puffy white clouds, low humidity, and a temperature of 79F 26C. The fractal cats had a mostly pleasant day, but did get into a tussle when Jasmine leaped from the couch onto Nicholas and caused his tail to puff up. The humans spent the day working. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two or maybe three or four. Until whenever, take care and I have nothing to say about current events in Saint Louis except that I am disappointed that the same old problem still exists even 50 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed, and after 50 years of the best-intended efforts to eliminate discrimination and poverty, and finally achieve true equality. It is actually starting to appear, at least to me, that achieving equality might be a wishful myth.
