Idea explanation:
Chopin: mixer because he reminds me of one sometimes. Example. Scriabin: he has written a lot of pieces for the left hand alone and he injured the right hand. Rachmaninoff: He had really big hands. Really big. Liszt: he sometimes reaches notes at the other side of the piano. Ravel: he has delicate, water hands and very often the left and right hand play on top of each other. Beethoven: he is powerful and this is also a reference to the hammerklavier Satie: his touch is very gentle and it sounds like he is playing with gloves. Boulez: Just to give you an idea. Cage: the 'no hands' is a joke for 4'33'' and the objects on the keyboard are a reference to his prepared pianos. Feldman: most of his compositions use just a few notes. Mozart: Rolling pins because of all the scales. Schubert: A lot of his pieces have very articulated right hand passages that go back and forth like a wheel and really easy left hand ones. Bach: robot hands because he was so structured and calculating in his pieces. (Side note: amazing book) Debussy: really soft touch, just like feathers. Glass: Pendulum and metronome because of his style that led him to be very technical, a bit like Bach, but it's more complicated than that. Bartok: drum beaters because of the power of some of his compositions.

In secret we met -- In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee After long years, How should I greet thee? -- With silence and tears.

The mathematical formula of Happiness (University College London, 2014)
The wise delight in water; the benevolent delight in mountains. The wise take action; the benevolent remain still. The wise are joyful; the benevolent are long-lived. - “Trí giả nhạo thủy, nhân giả nhạo sơn. Trí giả động, nhân giả tĩnh. Trí giả lạc, nhân giả thọ.” - “知者乐水,仁者好山; 智者欲发,仁者静; 智者乐,仁者寿。

Body artist paints a circle of life on her face, by Emma Allen. This is pretty much one of the core beliefs in Buddhism.
One fundamental belief of Buddhism is often referred to as reincarnation - the concept that people are reborn after dying. In fact, most individuals go through many cycles of birth, living, death and rebirth. A practicing Buddhist differentiates between the concepts of rebirth and reincarnation. In reincarnation, the individual may recur repeatedly. In rebirth, a person does not necessarily return to Earth as the same entity ever again. He compares it to a leaf growing on a tree. When the withering leaf falls off, a new leaf will eventually replace it. It is similar to the old leaf, but it is not identical to the original leaf.
After many such cycles, if a person releases their attachment to desire and the self, they can attain Nirvana. This is a state of liberation and freedom from suffering.

A Zen Master said: "Before practicing Zen, rivers were rivers and mountains were mountains. When I practiced Zen, I saw that rivers were no longer rivers and mountains no longer mountains. Now I see that rivers are again rivers and mountains are again mountains."

“Gamma-ray bursts and their emission mechanisms”
Abstract:
“Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe after the Big Bang. They are observed as sudden flashes of gamma rays from random directions in the sky, lasting from seconds to minutes. GRBs are thought to result from cataclysmic events associated with the birth of a compact object (neutron star or a black hole) either in the collapsing core of a massive star or in a NS-NS or NS-BH merger. Despite being discovered almost half a century ago, the mechanism of their emission is still a matter of active debate. I will review our current understanding of the processes at work and will discuss how detailed numerical modelling can place constraints on the physical conditions at the source as well as the GRB environments.”
