**Heroes**

Doctors, scientists, psychologists,researchers and many others are beginning to realise that what we achieve and become in life has much more to do with our beliefs than anything else.
===There are limits such as how tall we are, who we have for parents, and the fact that we can't live forever. But beyond a few unchangeable things, there are unlimited possibilities. What you believe is possible is a major factor in determining what you do and become.===

As Henry Ford said, __"If you think you can, or you think you can't, you are right."__

__Message for today __
==People who expect the best in life usually seem to get it, and the reverse also seems to be true. Our beliefs determine how we behave, so believing that we can have the best in life gives us a greater chance of achieving it. ==

This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.  This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of ..  Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and irrigation equipment of Bancroft, Iowa ....Yes, farm Equipment!  It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see It was WELL worth the effort. The engineering feat alone is phenomena! It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian

 * Commentary: **

 A video that supposedly shows an incredible music machine created out of farm equipment is circulating via email and online. The video itself is certainly an incredible and inspiring piece of work. However, it is a work of computer animation and does not depict a real machine made of farm equipment or anything else. The video is a piece called [|Pipe Dream] that was created by Wayne Lytle, and Dave Crognale and their team at [|Animusic], a content creation company located in Austin, Texas.

 The company has created a number of quite amazing 3D computer graphics music animation videos that are available via the company website. According to [|information] on the Animusic website: //Both the graphics and the music are entirely digitally synthesized. Virtual instruments are invented by building computer graphics models of objects that would appear to create the sound of the corresponding music synthesizer track. Graphical instruments range from being reminiscent of existing instruments to arbitrarily abstract. // Apparently, some unknown prankster saw fit to create a fanciful tale to go along with the unusual video. Even the university departments named in the message appear to be fictitious. There is no record of the "Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory" or the "Sharon Wick School of Engineering" at the University of Iowa or anywhere else. According to an [|article] about the prank email on Iowa's KCRG: //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">The machine is supposedly a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering but if you search the campus high and low you’ll never find either of those buildings. They don’t exist. // <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">There is no need to malign this fantastic animation by tacking on a foolish and totally fictitious cover story. Such clever work speaks for itself and needs no embellishment. Moreover, the real creators of the animation deserve credit for their genius. If you receive this email forward, please let the sender know the true origin of the "farm machine music" video.
