17 Awesome Ways to Use Shipping Containers
Check out these awesome ways you can 'go green' and use retired shipping containers in your own creative way! We've done some research and picked out the 17 coolest ideas for repurposing shipping containers. These modified container projects are not only kind to our beautiful earth, but they can be used in many unique ways that you may have not even knew were possible!
1. Barnhouse from Shipping Containers
Do you ever think about the constant fire hazard the hay around your barn may cause?
The fire resistant nature of a steel container is capable of containing the fire without burning the whole barn down. Cargo containers are also wind and watertight so if you live in an area that has a high risk for storms or tornados, this is a perfect option for you!
2. Shipping Container Beach House
Use a shipping container to make your beach house stand out – incorporate an artistic drawing or use custom paint colors to add a rustic flare or a bright and sunny color to create a vibe that feels right for you. And if you live on a beach or a place with high storm/ hurricane threats, a custom container is a great way to protect your home and belongings.

Designed by Adam Kalkin and Illy in 2007, the 8-foot x 20-foot container cafe is in Venice, Italy. This innovative shipping container cafe expresses the "connection to beauty through art and design" and is operated on four motors that open and lower the sides of the container. Lowering the sides of the container provides more space and enhances the experience. The container space includes a living room, a kitchen that is surrounded by a bedroom and bath, a dining area, and a library in the center.

A shipping container playground is definitely a first for many kinds and a great place for them to exercise their imagination!
13. Eco-Container Bridge
A fantastic example of the usefulness of steel containers is the Eco-friendly Econtainer Bridge functioning as a gateway into Ariel Sharon National Park. The park itself was previously a landfill that was turned into a beautiful, green space for the people from Tel-Aviv, Israel to escape from the city. The 525-foot-long bridge is constructed from a continuous line of retired shipping containers.
Together this bridge and the park symbolize the notion of creatively recycling and reusing something for the greater good.
14. Container City
London's Container City is a new housing development made from retired shipping containers. These cost-effective and durable containers are stacked 5 high, holding eco-friendly studios and dual purpose lofts.
Container City was designed by architects Nicholas Lacey and Buro Happold, but Urban Space Management- a leader in attractive and creative retail initiatives in London- thought of the idea. Urban Space Management's initiative are based on 3 principles: 1) tread lightly on earth…2) be timely, site specific, and cost-effective…3) leave space for creativity and listen to the particular place and the people. Container City encompasses all of these principles and has been a jumpstart for other projects in London, including the BBC Broadcasting Studios, Portishead Quays, Islington Boxing Club, Necropolis Waterloo, and many other shipping container projects.
15. New Orleans Voodoo Music and Art Festival
New Orleans Voodoo Music and Art Festival is another great example of the innumerable possibilities of recycled shipping containers. In 2009, the annual, funky festival repurposed and modified six 40-foot retired shipping containers to create a VIP lounge and storage space. With these modified containers, Steven Beese of RE:BE Design was able to design a perfect representation of what the Voodoo festival strives to communicate: creativity and unconventionality.
This two-story structure features a large balcony made from two of the six containers, while the other four containers were joined to create the base. The base is outlined with perforated cutouts of the word "VOODOO" that stretches across the sides, creating viewpoints to look upon the festival. The affixed four containers that make up the foundation of the structure encapsulate a luxury bar and lounge. Throughout the year, when VOODOO fest is not in action, the container structure is utilized as storage space for other festivals and gigs.
16. Eco-Cargo Container Home
The Cordell House, designed by Christopher Robertson and developed by Numen Development, L.P., could be one of the most eco-friendly container homes in Texas because of the number of green elements, the energy efficiency of the design, and the minimal construction waste produced (only 12 contractor bags!). The home screams creativity and innovation.
This ecotainer home is built with four up-cycled shipping containers, bamboo flooring and low VOC-paints , a white roof, non-toxic insulation, glazing and position accommodates passive solar design, and last but not least a driveway that consists 70-80 per cent recycled glass and 20-30 percent granite.
17. Pop-up MiniFarm in Shipping Containers
Sponsored by Burt's Bees, this little eco-friendly "pop-up" Mini-Farmery not only brings beautiful living walls and aesthetics to the American Tobacco Campus in Durham, but it also yields local and organic food that customers can pluck right off the green, living walls! Remarkably, this Mini-Farmery is comprised of a retired 20-foot shipping container and standard greenhouse components.
The inside of the container is used to grow mushrooms, a green roof to grow tomatoes, flowers, and sweet potatoes, and interior wall panels to grow herbs and other greens. This solo 20-foot container is just a hint of what Ben Greene's innovative agriculture project, The Farmery, will look like in a year's time. The Farmery will be comprised of a 45-foot recycled shipping container that will encompass an indoor, organic farm on the upper level and a market to sell the crops on the lower level.

Claude Moraes MEP, Labour MEP for London and chair of the European Parliament civil liberties, justice and home affairs committee, responds to the UK government's withdrawal of support for the EU's rescue operation for migrants crossing the Mediterranean:
"Saving lives is not an issue of encouraging or discouraging migration - nor is it a push or pull factor. It is a moral duty to save those in distress at sea. It is a matter of observing the basic norms of maritime law.
"Human traffickers will not lose business because we do not assist boats in distress. People take the risk of the perilous journey because there is still hope that they will survive the crossing and it is still the best option they have.
"As chair of the European Parliament's committee responsible for monitoring FRONTEX and the other agencies specifically tasked with border management in the Mediterranean, I will be pushing for an inquiry into the ethics and resources being utilised by Member States in the this region.
"Studies show that up to 22,000 lives have been lost in the Mediterranean over the past 26 years. This is an atrocious number with horrific stories of people perishing at sea. Migration into the EU must be managed, as should migration into the UK specifically. We have to ensure that clear rules are in place so that those making the transition into this country know what their obligations are and the government has a chance to ensure that it is fair, of benefit to the UK and concerns such as undercutting wages of local workers are properly addressed.
"But thinking that deaths at sea is a deterrent and that rescuing those in distress at sea is a pull factor, is an incredibly inhumane policy for any government to pursue. If in Europe, the UK along with other Member States are not able to work together to ensure that we don't have a grave yard in the Mediterranean each year, then what is the hope for other areas of the world where resources are much, much scarcer.
"Mare Nostrum has been applauded by many for the work that has been carried out and the lives that have been saved, up to 150,000. But let's be clear, the EU has no specific funding for search and rescue operations, it is carried out as part of the border management operations and due to the maritime obligation to save boats in distress. Triton, the programme that will replace Mare Nostrum, will only have a third of the resources.
"It is astonishing that the UK government claim that the rescue operations have been encouraging more migrants to come to Europe especially considering the fact that the top ten countries which receive the most refugees feature not one single European country, but include many developing countries according to the UN."

1.You eat what you are
(copyright Tony Stowell)
Sitting in comfort in small City bistro
Member of BUPA
and up market gym,
Bronzed by the ski-slopes and P&O cruises –
A picture of someone rich, leisured and trim;
Placing special onus on his heavy city bonus
He glances at the menu and he makes his
choice with ease –
So, after a martini he has tournedos Rossini
Then a slice of tarte montmartre, port and Gorgonzola cheese.
Anxiously scanning the fortnightly market,
shopping list thoughtfully full and unfurled,
Looking for free-range and fresh and organic-
Mother is earnestly saving the world.
So, there's spinach and Pak-choi and some parsnips and savoy,
Oliver would certainly approve of such as she;
She does not live in the odium of sugar, starch or sodium
(Though her kids sneak to MacDonald's when their mother cannot see).
Waddling slowly, he surveys the superstore
Grabbing all offers from pork chops to tea
Followed by kids holding crisp bags and chocolate –
Kids who are almost as rounded as he;
For plates of mash and pies add directly to his size
While chicken wings and burgers seem to bring him little cheer,
Swelling belly bum and hips with another
load of chips
Before drinking down this diet with a six-pack beer.
We're daily bombarded with slogans and jingles;
For food comes in fashions, then fades from our view,
There's whole meals for families,
couples or singles -
With synthetic sausage and microwave stew.
Advertisers charm us, newspapers alarm us
Academic doctors warn obesity will strike;
Confused by all this prattle, we may just
give up the battle
And just eat in moderation what we damn well like.
2. Republican Limerick
Republican candidates cute?
There's Rick and there's Mitt and there's Newt;
Rick's far too far right,
Mitt can't buy the fight
And everyone's laughing at Newt.
3. Jonathan Hurd
Who spent his childhood playing with computers.
Jonathan Adolphus Hurd
Became a young Computer Nerd.
His Parents noted, early on,
A certain Oddness in their Son
For John, unlike the other boys
Who scatter almost all their Toys
Conveniently round the house,
Played only
with the P C Mouse.
There was, within a year or two
But nothing that John could not do;
He'd simply sit from dawn 'til dawn
And scan the internet for porn
(Despite controls his Father had
to try to save the lad) -
Young Jonathan just carried on.
He hacked into the Pentagon
And launched a Missile ( luckily
It only landed in the sea).
He electronically sold
His Father's shares in Tin and Gold
And bought a Laptop which, he said,
Enabled him to surf in Bed.
(For punishment, this naughty Geek
Had Virtual Meals for one whole week.)
John's Parents started to despair
And sought Assistance
Their son was placed high on the list
Of every Top Psychiatrist;
But their prognoses, every one,
Said, "Sorry – nothing can be done:
There's no point in denying it,
Your Jonathan's
a little Twit."
John's formative and teenage years
Confimed his parents' Deepest Fears.
The only friends he ever met
He found in chat-rooms on the net –
The only Peers that he could face
Were those who lived in Cyberspace.
It happened that this little fool
Who Failed in everything at School
Devised a scheme where people bet
On Horses via the Internet.
He patented the scheme, they say,
And sold it in the USA.
Sir John now opulently sits
In his own Penthouse at the Ritz,
Where no-one scolds or calls him names
For writing new Computer Games.
It is the Centenary of the publication
of Hilaire Belloc's Cautionary Verses
I called for her after I meant to
(In fact,
I was quite a bit late)
I said I would meet her at seven
But got there at twenty past eight.
I'd had to put oil in the engine
So my fingers bore traces of grease,
And when I looked down at my denims
I saw there was more on my knees.
The flowers that I took weren't pretentious -
I collected them up in a trice;
I couldn't afford gladioli,
But the dandelions looked very nice.
long, I got the car started -
It took almost no time at all -
And she didn't have that far to push it
Before I drove into the wall.
The cod and the chips were delicious
Though some ketchup got
spilt on her frock:
So when she said, "Get lost, you Wally,"
Well, it came as a bit of a shock.
Serious Sonnet.
I like the sonnet form. It has to be disciplined and the rhyme scheme must appear to flow naturally. It can be used for every occasion from an expression of love, or a polemic, or light entertainment.
It deals with one topic and comes to a conclusion about it.
As a teacher and a historian, I was appalled to read about Michael Gove's proposed new history curriculum for schools. He had ignored all advice from historians, and proposed a
narrow, nationalistic programme based on rote learning and facts and figures selected by him. Exams would no doubt be geared to how well pupils could regurgitate officially approved material. Nowhere was there the possibility that pupils should be taught to
think rationally after examining all the material available, and be able to come to an informed opinion.
It seemed to me that the situation deserved a serious sonnet!
A Question of History
Should History be just remember'd dates
Of famous British people, worth a quote
And eulogise our famous men of note?
the glories of our state?
Perhaps, too, we could justify our hate
Of foreign things (that's always worth a vote),
Insist the young learn rigorously by rote
By which we raise examination rates.
Or, should this subject
teach our vibrant youth
To scrutinize the folk of many a clime
For how development has taken place,
Distinguishing the fantasy from truth –
So forming reasoned judgments for our time,
Explaining them with clarity and
Celebrity Time
A perennial leader in the nation's favourite poems is Kipling's 'If', which sets out to illustrate
all the worthwhile character traits that make up a decent human being. I have used his exact form, and some of his same words, to satirise by contrast all the shallow and worthless sides of talentless 'celebrities', who are merely famous for being
famous, and need to live increasingly bizarre and outrageous lives to remain in the lucrative limelight they crave.
The Price of Fame
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and ridiculing you,
If you can sell yourself when all men doubt you,
Then cash in on their stupid doubting, do;
And if you cannot wait for fame to find you,
Get married several times to worthless guys:
hated, get an agent right behind you
And make sure you look good and don't talk wise.
If you can dream – make dreams of wealth your master;
If you can think, make infamy your aim;
you have met with triumph or disaster
Then use these gifts to publicise your fame;
If you can bear to hear the tripe you've twitted
Twisted by knaves to rouse the tabloid press,
Then read those things that prove you are half-witted
And sue for the emotional distress.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on glamour, glitz and gloss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings –
Publicity can minimize your loss;
If you can force your heart with nerve and sinew
To seek exposure when you only bore
Then just hold on, for there is nothing in you
Except the Will which only asks for 'More'.
If you work crowds to keep
your name before them,
Or meet with Stars, nor lose the common touch;
If foes or friends say you're just sad, ignore them-
What matters is, you love yourself so much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty
seconds worth of press control-
Yours is your World, and all the tat that's in it;
You'll have celebrity, but not your soul.
Silly Verse for Sensible Kids 1.
I've written a number of poems for children. I like the bizarre, the strange
and the outrageous almost as much as they seem to.
the Witches Charm Club
Roll up to our stand at the Halloween Fair,
There's a welcome for one and for all.
Join our Club!
Such a chance is uncommonly rare -
You can park your brooms free by our Stall.
In the past, all us witches have got a bad name
For the magic we use on our foes,
Like making them sick, or go bald, or get lame,
Or have chilblains on some of their toes.
We have de-railed train-sets and
lost Barbie dolls,
And frightened young children with bats
Or giants or goblins or spectres or trolls,
And alarmed them by wearing black hats.
We've made times of darkness seem terribly scary,
Cut pumpkins with frightening faces
And conjured up beasties both long-leg'd
and hairy
Which go 'BOO!' in unusual places.
What's more, we've been always presented as though
We are ugly, bad-tempered old crones
With straggly hair turned as white as the snow
And our bodies like bags of old bones.
WE ARE FED UP with this!
The new image we seek
Is to CHARM our way into society,
And do good to our neighbours each day of the week.
We'll use magic with total propriety.
We will dress ourselves tidily, shampoo our hair
And we'll speak in the gentlest of tones;
And we'll
smile, and with grooming and cosmetic care
We could look like the young Zeta Jones.
We will cheer up a brother or sister who's crashing
Or chucking your toys down the pan,
And by magic we'll either stop anything smashing –
Or mend it again, if we can.
And we'll BANISH all
ghosties and ghastly faced ghouls
Who can cause quite unwarranted fears,
Along with the realm that the Goblin King rules,
And the pixies with long pointed ears.
And we'll magic each meal so that children will say
That they LIKE what they're given for dinner-
So the small ones will flourish; the rest, by the way,
Who have lived on just crisps, might get thinner.
And we'll even help Grown-Ups, especially these
For whom memory only gets worse –
We'll find out by magic where Dad put his keys
Or what Mummy
has done with her purse.
So – THAT'S our new Club. Slogan?
For the wrong way can only cause hitches.
From this moment on, we'll be good and polite –
Join our Charm Club for Modern Young Witches.
Poems for Places 1
I like writing about places, but instead of just describing them or attempting an 'evocation' I like to use the nature of the place to make some general point - I thought of calling
this 'Progress'! I'm using the same form as You Eat What you Are, which suits this theme.
The Road to Bath
Galloping down from the northern perimeter
Straight across country on well-mettled road,
Comes a Centurion, telling of victory
Over an enemy covered in woad:
Speeded on his course by a frequent change of horse,
Ignoring Aquae Sulis and a taste of home,
Reporting to Corinium, headed for Londinium,
To gratify
the glory of Imperial Rome.
Trotting at leisure by way of the turnpike,
Wary of highwaymen, armed just in case,
Come the nobility, clergy, gentility,
Dressed a la mode and trimmed richly with lace:
beat a steady path to the pleasure spa of Bath,
For a fashionable season flaunting fashionable cash -
The humble and the haughtier, courtesan and courtier,
Praying for approval from the great Beau Nash.
Crawling in
convoy the length of the motor-way,
Bumper to bumper in unending line,
The children are car-sick, or bored and obstreperous,
Everyone programmed like gadarene swine:
Hoping they can pass just an hour or two of class,
ancient culture and the aura it assumes -
Then, purchasing a present with a view of Royal Crescent,
They'll head for home, surrounded by monoxide fumes.
Poems for Places 2.
Sonnets can also be used in a much lighter vein. This is part of a collection of twenty four sonnets I wrote about the people and places in the Cotswolds. There is a certain rugged individualism about about Cotswold folk which is often more impressed by
the things that matter locally rather than those in remoter corners of the world.
Chipping Campden is an ancient Cotswold
Wool Town, and amongst its hearty country traditions is the Dover's Hill Games - a sort of local olympiad featuring such traditional sports as Shin-kicking.
Let other people range abroad and seek
A world-wide stage to try and make
their names;
Let Hellenes hold their Pan-Hellenic Games
And let the world enthuse as Greek meets Greek -
We have no wish to
occupy a peak
On Mount Olympus to observe the shames
Of foreign failures, or the counter-claims
Which say the victor was
a drug-raised freak.
Away with them! Good Cotswold folk can go
To Chipping Campden's Games on Dover's Hill,
And care about who loses and who wins -
It's better far to settle matters so.
And if you really wish your neighbour ill -
No problem: go and kick his bloody shins.
I have written a number of verses for children, and some of them have been illustrated in pen and ink. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the illustrations in
this format (unless anyone can suggest how I can do this) so you'll just have to make do with the copy.
Silly Verse for sensible Kids 2
Trouble in the Channel
The fishes in the Channel
Were in a mood for play
For the breeze was warm and gentle
And the sun had shone all day
And the ferries going out to France
Were scarcely late at all
So the passengers weren't seasick
To the great relief of all.
But suddenly, a Hake sped up
And said, "Just East of Sark,
As I came by today I saw
A blooming Great White Shark –
He's heading up this way. LOOK OUT!"
The Hake could hardly speak,
But a wise old Crab just commented
"That's the
second one this week -
It must be Global Warming
Or something of the sort;
The stupid shark thinks it can come
Much further than it ought.
Something must be done," it said,
then there was a pause,
And when a Sole said, "Yes – but WHAT?"
The Crab just waved its claws.
The fish were justly terrified
For later or for sooner
The Shark would come and feed on
From Sardine up to Tuna.
But then a Dolphin had a thought,
And Dolphins, you may see,
Aren't really fish at all, but more
Advanced like you and me.
The Dolphin said, "You
know, a Shark
Will not allow a rival.
It seems to think another Shark
Will threaten its survival.
I know a wreck where I have seen
A great big Mirror lying –
If we can lift it up, I have
A plan I think's worth trying."
They found the mirror, stood it up
And waited for the shark
Who didn't come the whole day through,
And then it got too dark.
But next
day saw the Shark appear.
It was of 'NORMOUS size,
It had a hungry look and Malice
Glinted in its eyes.
The Dolphin swam right up to him
And said, "NER NERNY-ER
Behind the mirror then he sped.
The Shark, all FURIOUS,
Began to charge, when all at once
His eye saw something curious –
He thought
he saw a RIVAL Shark
Approaching him at speed.
He wasn't having THAT, and thought,
"A challenger, indeed.
I can't have that. I'll stop him dead
And never let him pass."
He reached top speed, and then
His nose crashed into glass.
His face was flattened, teeth knocked out,
His eyes began to pop-
He was concussed, and his great fin
Went wobbly at the top.
"These waters are too dangerous,"
The fishes heard him say
As he shook his head and turned his tail
And sadly swam away.
The fishes cheered like anything
And none of them forgot
That Dolphins are quite clever
But the Great White Shark is NOT.
for Mary
It's been a long day. Somehow, I believe
I've done more good than harm, where I've had scope;
But forcing me to look for a reprieve
Is just a cruel, pointless sort of hope.
I only hope to die.
I cannot live
In any way that's meaningful to me -
Can't move, can't talk, can't eat, can't laugh, can't give,
Can't read, can't hear, can't write, can't walk, can't see.
The pain that racks my body I can take -
Relief is quick, well-meant and coldly kind
And sometimes works; but nobody can break
The unremitting anguish of my mind.
It's very late. I'm not afraid of night,
So, if you love me, please turn out the light.
It seems really great and informative stuff to me which I will share with my dad after my https://www.goldenbustours.com/lasvegas-tours/. Hope he will like this
One of your very best Tony! Hope you are both well. Christmas wishes now and to come with news when we get organised.xx
Great to see that all is going well. Best wishes. Jonathan
Hey, my next door neighbour's a poet.....and I didn't know it!Well done Tony, I shall peruse with interest.

It was shot by photographer Mikael Jansson in dusty Arizona and you'll start seeing it in the flesh in February magazines. You know, like ours.

Terror Does Not Discriminate
Riddhi Andurkar, Staff Writer
Terror knows no race, religion or nationality. Consider three events that shocked our country in recent weeks.
On Oct. 1, a white male gunman opened fire on a crowd of 22,000 from his room in the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., killing 58 and injuring 546. This attack was simply labeled another mass shooting.
On Nov. 5, a gunman opened fire at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing 26 and injuring 20. The gunman was a white male who had been abusing his family members. This attack was more deadly than the terror attack in New York, yet it was only classified as a "mass shooting."
On Feb. 14, a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. Fourteen people were injured, and 17 were killed: 15 students and two faculty, making this the second deadliest shooting at a U.S. public school, according to the Washington Post. When the media covered this tragedy, reporters repeatedly referred to this as another "mass shooting."
Following these events, when prominent leaders were asked whether this is terrorism, they reminded that this was a time mourn the loss of lives and not to "politicize" the tragedy or call it names. Many labeled these events as resulting from mental illness.
On Oct. 31, a 29-year-old man drove a rented pickup truck into cyclists and walkers in New York City. He killed eight people and injured even more. Law enforcement identified him as an Uzbek nationalist. Authorities also discovered that this man had been providing material support to ISIS. According to CNN, a note was found near the truck claiming that this attack was made in the name of ISIS.
This act was immediately named an act of terror.
It is interesting that a crash carried out by a man of Middle Eastern descent is immediately called terrorism, yet the two other shootings, which were much deadlier than the New York attack, are called mass shootings, conceivably because the shooters were not of Muslim or Middle Eastern descent.
We must understand that not all Muslims are terrorists, just like we accept that not all Caucasians are terrorists.
Muslims follow Islam. Unlike many of the misconceptions in this country, none of their religious texts say anything about violence against civilians. It must be frustrating for American Muslims to be discriminated against every time the suspect of an attack is Muslim or of Middle Eastern
background, leading to another set of rumors that all Muslims follow the same religion as the suspects and could potentially be terrorists planning an attack.
According to the Huffington Post, the University of North Carolina conducted a study that proved that less than 0.0002 percent of Americans were killed by Muslims. This number is minimal, but it has led to over 1.6 billion followers of Islam to be looked down upon and discriminated against. In fact, this study reports that Americans are more likely to be killed by their television or couch.
When suspects of attacks are non-Muslims, society refers to them as its outcasts or mentally ill persons, and such incidents are considered "isolated." They are also a part of society, but "do not truly belong." In other words, the individual is blamed, not the entire group of people.
However, if the suspect is Muslim, the entire Muslim American population is blamed. The act of one single outcast of their religion causes them all to be blamed.
When the suspect in an attack is Muslim or of Middle Eastern descent, that individual should be blamed and not every single Muslim in the world. Attacks conducted by Muslim terrorists are receiving a lot of media attention, adding on to the misconceptions made about Muslims.
The travel ban didn't help the situation. In fact, it just added fuel to the fire. When President Trump created the travel ban from the seven Middle Eastern countries, the hatred towards Muslims grew stronger. Sure, there may be terrorist organizations from Middle Eastern countries, but just like the non-Muslim terrorists, they are the select few who do not follow the religion. They attack civilians and claim that the attacks are being carried out in the name of Islam.
The term Islamophobia was created to give this hatred a name. The dictionary definition of this term is the dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force. However, what this term really means is discrimination against Muslims because of a select few religious outcasts.
There are numerous acts of terrorism committed by Muslims and persons of Middle Eastern origins, but we must also acknowledge that there are equal number of non-Muslim Americans who have committed such acts.
Timothy McVeigh, a Caucasian, detonated a truck loaded with explosives and destroyed a federal building in 1995, killing hundreds of men, women, and children in Oklahoma City. Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, terrorized the nation for 20 years through his mail bomb campaign.
Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary shooter, opened fire in a school, killing innocent children and teachers.
These are just a few prominent examples. Does this automatically make all Caucasians terrorists? Of course not. We need to exercise better judgment before stereotyping an entire population as terrorists.

A Bookshelf Quilt
You can find magic wherever you look….sit back and relax, all you need is a book! Dr. Seuss
When my sister told me she wanted a custom quilt for her home, I knew we would need to incorporate books into her quilt! Karen has been a reader as long as I can remember! My good friend, Jan, took the design and did the hard work of sewing the top together! This quilt is bold and fun because we threw in some fabulous Kaffe Fassett fabrics, light yellow text fabric and lots of thread colors to quilt it! I hope Karen enjoys it for many years to come……along with her reading!
"I smile because you're my sister; I laugh because you can't do anything about it!"
One thought on "A Bookshelf Quilt"
Elizabeth, how fun this quilt is,and so Karen. I am sure she will cherish it for many years!!!

Event Twenty-Two: Armor
Event Twenty-Two: Armor[edit]
Located: Little Italy[edit]
If you don't go about this event in a very specific way, you're going to find things exceedingly difficult for you. For starters, you'll have two full minutes during this event to use the tank you start in to eliminate as many enemy soldiers and tanks as you can. What makes this event so difficult is the long two minutes you have to go about your business, because it's difficult to keep a single tank intact when it's being shelled from all directions. Your best bet here is to keep moving constantly while using the aim button to find viable targets to eliminate. Keep in mind that while soldiers are worth a single kill, destroying a tank is worth five. And you're going to have to destroy numerous tanks if you want to have any prayer of surviving long enough to see if you earned a medal or not.
While using your aiming ability, you will be wise to remember that the turret which contains your machinegun and cannon must slowly rotate to face their target. So if you're aiming at enemies behind you and firing, expecting that you're hitting them, you're in for a rude awakening. Thus, you'll want to concentrate on enemies in front of you, maneuvering the tank as opposed to the turret. Try to stay behind some cover if you can, which will help against the dangerous shelling you'll receive from enemy tanks. Speaking of enemy tanks, they're represented both on your HUD and in real time with red skull icons. If you see them on your HUD, immediately beeline towards them and take them out. While enemy soldiers will be firing their assault rifles at your tank, it's enemy tank shells that will obliterate your vehicle if you aren't careful.

Recipe: And on the side, some potatoes
Call me outdated, old fashioned, out of touch (you wouldn't be the first) but I think dinner without some potatoes on the side isn't really dinner.
Chips, fries, mashers, bakers, whatever. It's all about the spuds.
Here's a very simple way to make a mess of potatoes that everyone can dig into. This recipe makes enough for six people as a side dish, but if there are only two of you, make the whole batch anyway and watch them disappear.
(If there are any leftovers, warm them up tomorrow, put them in a bowl, and drop a poached egg on top.)
While you cook them, listen to this infectious rendition of "Potato Potato Potato" by the Taternacle Choir.
Tiny Little Potatoes Roasted with Onions and Sage
Recipe by me. Makes enough for 6 sides.
2 pounds tiny little Colorado potatoes, red or yellow, rinsed thoroughly, scrubbed lightly, and trimmed of any sprouts
1 onion, red or yellow, coarsely chopped
2-3 tablespoons light olive oil
A handful of fresh sage leaves, chopped
Coarse salt
A few spoonfuls of mascarpone cheese (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the potatoes and onions in olive oil, then place in oven-proof cast-iron skillet. Roast for about 25 minutes, or until potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork. Add the sage during the final ten minutes. Sprinkle on some coarse salt, and dollop mascarpone over the top if using.

Straight out of the Mission Impossible toolkit for TV sports producers and audio technicians comes Squarehead's Audioscope. It's a stadium-mounted (huh? Well, it is rather large..) carbon fiber disk that contains 325 microphones and a wide-angle camera for video overview. It can focus on a bubblegum balloon popping amidst the audio chaos of a basketball game. Literally. Wow, talk about the best microphone for streaming.
A technician points out the subject on the video screen, and the device figures out how far it is and how to best point the microphone array towards it. It's the invention of Norwegians physicists Morgan Morgan Kjølerbakken and Vibeke Jahr.
"If we correct the audio arriving at three microphones then we have a signal that is three times as strong. Doing the same thing with 300 microphones can make a single conversation audible even in a stadium full of sports fan" says Kjølerbakken.
The best part about this is that it records separate tracks for each microphone, so for post production, editors can scour all tracks for juicy audio tidbits. Of course, that also goes for government surveillance teams in public places, but what invention doesn't have its sordid uses?

Humane Canada™ recognizes the importance of biology studies within the elementary and secondary school curricula. Such studies should be designed to instill in students an interest in and respect for all living things, as well as an appreciation for the uniqueness, complexity and inherent dignity of each individual organism. To meet those objectives, biology studies at the pre-college level should focus on animals as living, sentient creatures with intrinsic value, stressing their behaviour, life patterns and relationship with the environment.
Humane Canada™ opposes the use of animals in school-sponsored or approved experiments, lessons, or projects that: interfere with the normal health or development of the animals; constitute major manipulation of the animals' behaviour or environment; or cause pain, fear, anxiety or discomfort.
Humane Canada™ believes that experiments and activities involving live animals should be limited to observations of the normal living patterns, behaviour, growth and development of domestic animals, or wild animals in the free living state or in those zoos or aquaria which maintain animals in suitable naturalistic environments which meet the health, emotional and behavioural needs of each species of animal.
Humane Canada™ believes that, under certain conditions, where significant educational benefits can be derived, the presence of animals in schools can be beneficial to students while providing for the well-being of the animals. Where small animals whose habitat can be easily and properly simulated in a classroom setting are brought into the classroom for observation over a brief period of time, proper provision must be made for their physical and mental well-being.
The necessary requirements for their physical and mental well-being include:
- that a responsible adult is required to provide for the welfare and husbandry of the animals
- that a suitable environment is provided
- that provision can be made for suitable housing, husbandry and veterinary care at all times including weekends and during holidays
- that any contact between pupils and animals is a supervised and controlled activity
- that the animals are given adequate "rest" periods away from disturbance
- that any animals kept in the school environment are prevented from breeding
- that when they leave the school, the animals' continued well-being is ensured
Humane Canada™ believes that vivisection and dissection are unnecessary and inconsistent with the development of a general appreciation and respect for living organisms and are, therefore, unacceptable at the pre-college level. Where dissection does take place, the animal should have been previously humanely slaughtered for human consumption or other valid purpose. Humane Canada™ is opposed to the sacrifice of animals solely for the purpose of dissection in elementary or secondary schools. Humane Canada™ encourages the use of alternatives to vivisection and dissection, such as computer simulations, models and other resources.

Thanks for tuning in again this week. We're still in transition. Migrating the audio files from this and all previous programs to a commercial server. And setting up a new commercial server for the Website. Sorry for the confusion. But we should have more reliable service as soon as the migration is complete.
This week we focus on two topics. The first is a non-event, the decision to delay launch of Japan's fourth surveillance satellite again. I provide some background on the program, and intend it to illustrate changes in how Japan's attentive public views such issues.
We then consider the results and aftermath of the Six-Party Talks in Beijing, including the substance of the agreement announced and the reaction from around the world.
As always, continue to send your comments and suggestions to me at email@example.com. I read them all and take each one into consideration when planning future programs.

About SEDAR Stock Assessments
The SEDAR (Southeast Data, Assessment and Review) process is a three step process for conducting stock assessments. It consists of a Data Workshop to compile available data, a stock assessment workshop to prepare the actual assessment, and an Assessment Review Workshop to provide an independent review of the assessment, conduct additional analyses if necessary, and make recommendations regarding the status of stock and acceptable biological catch levels.
In most cases the stock assessment will be prepared by NOAA Fisheries assessment biologists, but on occasion the assessment may be prepared by a state agency or by a university or independent assessment biologist under contract to NOAA Fisheries or a state agency. For more information about the SEDAR process, including reports from previous SEDAR meetings, visit the NOAA Fisheries SEDAR website at: sedarweb.org
The SEDAR process includes three steps:
1. Data Workshop - key people involved in collecting, keeping, and maintaining the data, biologists who understand the species, and experienced fishermen are brought together. Workshop participants research and review all data available, determine what data should be used for the assessment, and what data and research is still needed.
2. Stock Assessment Workshop - stock assessment biologists, scientists, and fishermen meet to determine what tools are to be used to formulate the stock assessment, how to interpret information from the assessment, and how uncertainty is to be incorporated into the assessment.
3. Peer Review - the products of steps one and two is a stock assessment report. This report is peer reviewed by the Review Committee, a group of independent experts. The Review Committee then formulates its conclusions and recommendations in a final consensus report and an advisory report that includes strengths and weaknesses in the assessment and recommendations to fishery managers for future data and research needs.
The Sea Grant publication, A Guide to Fisheries Stock Assessment - From Data to Recommendations, by Andrew B. Cooper is now available online.
The guide is designed to clarify the stock assessment process for fishermen, regulators, science journalists and others interested in the fishing industry.
Are you interested in participating as a SEDAR workshop panelist for a Gulf stock assessment? If so, please submit your resume and a cover letter detailing your qualifications to serve on the SEDAR Workshop Pool Advisory Panel to firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. You will be notified by the Council if you are selected to be appointed to the SEDAR Workshop Pool Advisory Panel.

sexual harassment, gender differences
This thesis presents a comparison of the differing experiences of men and women with regard to sexual harassment. Studies of sexual harassment primarily have focused on the experiences of female victims and male perpetrators (e.g., Maypole & Skaine, 1983; Saal, Johnson, & Weber, 1989; Pryor & McKinney, 1995). The research into the experiences and consequences for male victims of sexual harassment has been less extensive. The aim of this thesis is to show the gap in the research and that there are differences between the genders in their experiences and reactions to sexual harassment. In this study, significant differences were found in emotional and physical consequences of sexual harassment. Significance was also found when participants were asked if their experiences were annoying, offensive, disturbing or threatening.

It has become popular over the last few months to place images above or next to ad units, with individual images lining up with each invidiual ad in an ad unit. For example, a leaderboard would have four small images above it. But some publishers have received compliance warnings about using images, since they are making them appear to be a part of the ad unit, and being asked to make changes to comply with the AdSense terms and policies.
So what exactly is within the terms and what isn't? I went straight to Google for the scoop.
Publishers are still welcome to place images above the ads. The only exception is if it's in such a way that it looks like the images are part of the ads.
When something like that comes to our attention, we'll ask that the publisher place a visible border between the ads and the images, to make it clear that the images are not being served by Google on behalf of the advertisers. We generally do not ask publishers to remove the images completely, we just ask that they add borders to avoid confusion.
So it seems the complaint is that the images appear to be trigger by the individual ads and are reflecting on the individual ad itself. This could potentially cause problems when a user clicks an ad expecting it to be about the image, even if they didn't fully read the ad text they happened to be clicking. And this could result in a lot of unqualified clicks to advertisers ads.
So to be fully complaint with the AdSense terms and policies while using the added images technique, you must have a border between the ads and the images, whether it be a bordered ad unit, or an on-page border you add yourself.

Toyota's entry-level sports car concept will be appearing at next year's Tokyo Auto Salon in racing form after the company previewed the S-FR Racing Concept. Gazoo Racing, Toyota's motorsport division, provided the necessary modifications which made the concept car as a 'track ready race car.'
Compared to the standard model, the Racing Concept features a more aggressive look with its vented hood, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) front and rear spoilers, wide wheel arches, carbon fiber wing and custom alloy wheels.
Size-wise, the S-FR Racing Concept measures 4,100mm long, 1,735mm wide and 1,270mm tall. The new measurements make the car 110mm longer, 40mm wider and 50mm shorter. The 2,480mm wheelbase does carry over however.
The concept's exact engine was not revealed though it was previously reported that it may be powered by a tuned 1.5-liter inline-four derived from the JDM Corolla. It will benefit from direct injection and revised ports, resulting in a total output of 130 PS and 148 Nm of torque. Power is then sent to the rear wheels via 6-speed manual gearbox developed by Aisin.
The S-FR Racing Concept will be on display at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon from January 15 to 17.

Young filmmaker shorts screened at Leicester drama academy event
On Sunday July 7th Midlands Movies descended upon the King Richard III Centre in Leicester city centre where a unique film festival was underway featuring some of the most talented young filmmakers in the region.
The Pauline Quirke Academy (PQA) is a weekend performing arts Academy providing tuition for children and young people in comedy and drama, musical theatre and film and television.
Set up and endorsed by English actress Pauline Quirke (Birds of a Feather) in 2007, they are located in 105 towns and cities around the UK and focus on the arts. The youngsters attend outside of their normal school hours at weekends which shows the amazing commitment by these up and coming creatives and their families.
The King Richard III Centre opened in 2014 on the site of Greyfriars, the medieval friary in whose church the King was buried. A regal location then for the young people of PQA Leicester to attend a royal-esque red carpet event for them and their families to watch the short films that have been months in the making.
From drama to comedy and sci-fi and horror, the students haven't just starred in the films but created the stories, had input into the scripts and took control of their productions behind the scenes. Some were directors, cinematographers, sound recordists as well as many more roles which enabled the children to experience a whole variety of skills to help them in their learning.
And so, with 6 planned screenings over the afternoon we spoke to as many of the students as possible to get their unique perspectives on their projects, the filmmaking process and their hopes for the future.
Josh Brambini-Meadows was first up and has been at PQA for 7 years – not bad for someone at just 13 years old! "In my film I play a visually impaired person with a guide dog but the boy is bullied at school. It was hard because you don't know what it's like but we used the subject "heroes" to develop our story about guide dogs who do all these good things. I'm a big fan of action films and I'd really like to develop my acting in future at PQA".
Carmen Lee-Bennet echoed Josh and was in the film 'Perfect'. "I play the lead's best friend Emily and my friend at PQA Molly wrote it. I prefer to act and am looking forward to doing the PQA pantomime at Christmas. I can't wait to see the film tonight".
Amira Chawla-Sampey stars in 'Freeze' and as one of the newer members says, "I haven't been on the big screen so am excited. I started in January and I really enjoy PQA". Similarly Jasmine Lee-Bennett (9) adds "This is my first film and PQA has made me more confident" and friend Charlene Baariu (10) continued, "I'm looking forward to seeing my film tonight and it's the first one I've ever made!"
Sophie Swaby describes how she got involved with the technical elements: "I play a student in Freeze and also did sound recording behind the camera. They're both really fun things to do". Isabella King said, "I'm in Legends which is about a sleepover party and then there are creepy dolls and explore a scary house. When I first joined I thought I would quit but I really like it because I met lots of new friends".
Alex Gupta told us, "I am in Glitch which is about a boy who goes into a video game so it's an action story with zombies. We filmed in the woods so there was a lot of scraping on brambles! We get lots of opportunities at PQA - this time I was director – and that's what I want to do in future".
Student Fran Mee explained how PQA supports her goals: "PQA is really fun and lots of opportunities to star in films. I'm in Safe with Me and did some sound recording. I want to be a singer and actor and the PQA staff are very supportive and they believe in you. It's really amazing".
And young Patrick Lambert-Connolly has his sights set on shepherding a crew again in the future: "I'm the director of Safe With Me and I enjoyed using the camera. The hardest thing about being a director is patience. I like all the opportunities you get with PQA – to perform in West End, be in films and lots more!"
"I was the director of photography which I like more than acting. I love making a film from scratch with my good friends" said Leo Denton (11) whilst Alexa Skidmore enjoyed the zombie make-up "with lots of fake blood and white face paint. I like these projects as we can create whatever we want".
Senior student James King (17) came at his project with a lot experience which he was more than happy to pass on: "My 6 years at PQA has been great. I act in Detention and helped with a bit of scriptwriting. I enjoy seeing myself on the big screen and as an older student I try to help the younger people".
His sister Courtney King (15) "I've been at PQA 8 years and it's a really friendly working environment and like a second family to be honest" and their sibling Olivia King added that she too enjoys working with others "I have all my best friends at PQA and it's a really nice atmosphere. Although one time my face was stained yellow from make-up and it got all over my food later", she adds, already experienced in the world of production problems.
Friends Madison Brace, Elodie Dakin, Daya Chahal love the freedom they get at the academy: "We helped behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera. We enjoy comedy and drama and you get to use your imagination at PQA and you make great memories".
Siblings Oliver (13) & Sienna Ross (7) said, "We like getting together with like-mind people and have a really good time on projects". And it's not only the students enjoying the PQA experience. Parent Melanie King can't sing the praises of the academy enough. "When we first looked at what PQA could offer my daughter, I thought it looked an amazing place. She has always been very creative and the classes have helped focus her skills. I was so proud to see her on the West End stage last year and PQA brings out confidence in children and helps them progress".
Zoe, Andrea, Shanice Nyandoro "We're in Freeze and A Part of Me. We love dancing and singing and it's great PQA include everyone when they make the films".
Taiven Allen "I directed The Intruder about a boy who wakes up to find a clone in his bedroom. This is my first film and I like expressing feelings as different characters but also enjoy the technical side. I'm influenced by Bradley Cooper who moved from acting to directing and we did a little improvising on set which was fun".
Megan & Amelia Jackson "It was very physical on set, we did a few takes of a slapping scene! But also people don't see how many people are working behind the projects and during the filming you get to know people more".
Caitlin Spencer (13) said, "I'm the lead in short film Perfect which is about being anxious at school and not fitting in. I prefer acting and found the project a great place to discuss our ideas and PQA allows you to experience things you wouldn't normally be able to".
Finally James Bremner (14) shares his positive experiences with fellow students: "I play a scientist who sorts out a glitching robot clone. It was nice to find out how the process takes place on a film set and gives you an insight into how bigger movies are created. My dream is to be an actor and I love my friends there as we're all so passionate about the same things".
And so we moved on to the screening and each film was fantastically received by full-capacity audiences. With support from PQA associates Emmeline Hartley, Alex Stroud, Tommy Draper and event management (and occasional acting) by PQA Principal Karen Stevens, it was a hugely successful and entertaining day. I cannot wait to see further projects from these talents as it is them who will be the next generation of filmmakers from the region – and I highly recommend you check out the films when they hit the festival circuit from Summer.

"Enormously helpful!"
By Gail A. Schlachter and R. David Weber.
292 pages, comb binding, $42.50
Billions of dollars are available to support graduate study and research in all areas of the arts and humanities, including:
In the past, it was difficult to find out about these opportunities. Information about them was scattered throughout a number of directories or, for many programs, not available at all. With the publication of Money for Graduate Students in the Arts & Humanities, this has all changed.
How does the directory help you?
If you are working on a master's, professional, doctoral, or other graduate degree in any of the arts or humanities, the 2010-2012 edition of this directory will make it easy for you to find out about the 1,000 biggest and best fellowships, grants, and awards available to support your work in these fields. Best of all, only "free" money is identified. This is your chance to find out about billions of dollars in aid, knowing that not one dollar of that will need to be repaid (provided, of course, that stated requirements are met)!
What kinds of funding programs are included in the directory?
The programs described here range from $13,000 for graduate research on the history of art or architecture, to $30,000 to complete a dissertation in Judaic studies, to $33,500 for the graduate study of Byzantine culture, to full tuition plus $13,250 for the first year of graduate work in any branch of the humanities.
What kind of information do you get?
Full details are given for each program: contact information, purpose, eligibility, money awarded, duration, special features, limitations, number offered, and deadline date. Since the entries are grouped by recipient level (master's or doctoral degree), you'll be able to turn directly to the section that describes the type of funding you need. Plus, extensive indexing lets you access the programs by subject, residency, tenability, sponsor, title, and even deadline date.
What does this mean to you?
Now, you only need to check one place to identify the biggest and best funding opportunities that are available to help you pay for a master's, professional, or doctoral degree in the arts and humanities! That's why American Reference Books Annual found the directory "invaluable" and Mount Holyoke College Career Development Center calls the listing "enormously helpful." Want to read more reviews? Click here.
Want to look inside the book?
Still not sure this book is right for you? Need to know more about what the directory can do for you? Want to see the kind of information you'll get? Here's your chance to look inside the book and see the first 15 pages, including the table of contents, introduction, author bios, and a sample entry from the book.
How to Buy This Book:
There are 3 easy ways to buy a copy of this book:
This directory has been prepared as part of RSP's five-volume Graduate Funding Set. Each volume in the set focuses on a different subject area. Money for Graduate Students in the Arts & Humanities can be purchased separately (use the order button at the top of this page) or at a discounted price as part of this set.

client: Classical Hotelstechology: AS2.0, XMLbrief: A legend since 1936, the King George Palace has been home to kings, princes, presidents and Athenian alike. The website favors color palette of gold and brown, introduces 2 animated characters to unobtrusively help with the navigation.
All 78 ultra-luxurious guestrooms are individually decorated with a rich residential feeling, complemented by the latest technology interfacing with antique furniture and murano chandeliers. The animation and presentational advantages of flash were used to bring the website to life. XML and AS2.0 programming language was used, and although the website has very custom-made design, the XML data model is highly customizable. My task was handling of the functional aspects of the project, while Angelo Plessas handled the client relations and the website design. This website was commisioned by Angelo Plessas. His approach is creative, simplictic and straightforward, yet efficient. You might also want to have a look at Classical BabyGrand Hotel, Classical 2 Fashion Hotel or Classical Makedonia Palace.

But nothing ended up going to plan. Felt tired from the very beginning, everything just seemed way too hard. The legs were heavy, the air was humid (the completely soaked shirt after less than five minutes of running was a bad sign of things to come), the hills seemed higher, my stomach was acting up….just everything seemed off. Then Rolf got held up at work and didn't show. While I struggled the first half, I was looking forward to the second with Rolf ("Misery loves company" or something like that). Well, while waiting on him, I realized that my car key was missing from the little pocket on my Ultimate Direction running bottle. Uh oh. Maybe I'd left it at the car? Need to get there fast. After a seemingly endless mile or so, I got back to my car. Thankfully it was still there but the key was missing. That could only mean one thing: I lost my key somewhere on the trail. For some, reason I decided to call OnStar right way (instead of finishing my run) and an 18 mile long run had turned into a (totally unenjoyable) 10 mile struggle.
After being depressed about the run for the next few hours, I focused on learning some lessons:
- A cup of coffee five minutes before a long run will send my stomach spiraling downwards
- Keep your S!Caps protected…they are water soluble (or sweat-soluble); that means don't keep them in your Ultimate Direction bottle pocket
- When you lose your car keys finish up your run first…you can wait on the roadside assistance later (this wasn't my first time)
- Don't immediately hit the hills if you're tired…adjust your run and try to stay on flatter terrain when starting out
- Get enough sleep the night before a long run
Hopefully, these lessons will come in handy in
