Ralph Erskine was an immensely talented architect, whose humanistic values were transferred into a large number of original, superbly designed, spacious and well detailed buildings, and into community schemes that transformed people's lives, whether in the hospital restaurant environment at St Goran's in Stockholm, or through the public housing participation and redevelopment process at the Byker estate in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Ralph Erskine, architect: born London 24 February 1914; CBE 1978; married 1939 Ruth Francis (died 1998; one son, two daughters, and one daughter deceased); died Drottningholm, Sweden 16 March 2005.
Ralph Erskine was an immensely talented architect, whose humanistic values were transferred into a large number of original, superbly designed, spacious and well detailed buildings, and into community schemes that transformed people's lives, whether in the hospital restaurant environment at St Goran's in Stockholm, or through the public housing participation and redevelopment process at the Byker estate in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Erskine was born in Mill Hill, London in 1914. He attended the Quaker school at Saffron Walden in Essex from 1924 until 1932, after which he began his architectural training at the School of Architecture at Regent Street Polytechnic (now Westminster University), graduating in 1937. A year later he became an associate of the RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects) and also qualified as an associate member of the Town Planning Institute (now the RTPI), as was often the case with graduates at that time interested in urban design.
He worked, inter alia, for Louis de Soissons in 1937-39, before setting out for Sweden, a country he had been inspired to visit by the keen interest that had been shown at the Poly and in London generally in "Swedish Modern" design. He was to stay in Sweden for the rest of his life. This was initially due to a default of circumstances and later by conviction, as he developed his unique interest in the regional northern architecture of Scandinavia.
At the time, however, it proved to be both a cultural shock to his mind and a climatic shock to his body. He was to recall later that he did try to get away, but his efforts to return to England from a neutral country at the outbreak of the Second World War failed. Also, he was a pacifist and Sweden offered a viable alternative to working in the Ambulance Corps. In 1940, finding himself with little or nothing to do, and still struggling to master a difficult language, he constructed his first house, a timber cabin in the woods.
During the ensuing war years, Erskine spent some time in the offices of the architects Weijke and Odeen and later took up a course at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm. In 1946 he commenced in private practice on his own account. By 1950, he began to develop his ideas with a revision to the precepts of the modern architecture of the inter-war period. Functionalism, he claimed, had become sterile. He saw two ways to enrich the modernist cause. The first had to do with people and the way they use buildings and participate in the design process and the second with the development of ideas for the regional climatic environment.
In 1959 he was invited to Otterlo to attend a meeting of Team X, a group of architects concerned with the implications of modern buildings in the community. Erskine proved to be a provocative and stimulating speaker, addressing his colleagues on criteria for a northern architecture based on regional knowledge. His paper put forward a "grammar for high latitude architecture" which showed a profound understanding (and evidence of fundamental research) of the way building materials and structures performed in the extreme cold. The practical outcome of this work had been clearly demonstrated in his design for a Ski Hotel at Borgafjall (1948-50) which was then under construction and became well-known for the fact that it blended into the landscape and had a dramatic ski slope on its roof.
Another impressive project from this period was the cardboard factory at Fors, Sweden of 1950-53. This scheme was widely published in architectural magazines throughout the world, including the Architectural Review and brought Erskine into the international limelight. My generation was overawed by it, as it showed that brickwork had an expressive role in modern architecture, thus reinforcing the admiration British architects had for the work of Alvar Aalto in neighbouring Finland.
The factory was soon followed by the design of a number of housing projects, individual houses, apartment blocks, schools, and a church, as well as a series of competition wins including Clare Hall, Cambridge in 1968. Erskine was invited to enter a limited competition for housing at Killingworth, near Newcastle upon Tyne, in 1969, which began a period of close association with England, with projects in Milton Keynes, Newmarket and most significantly with the Byker redevelopment in Newcastle upon Tyne, a project which has become synonymous with his name. Byker has now been listed, with an international reputation as one of the most important urban housing projects of the post-war period, although it has suffered from crime and vandalism in recent years.
Byker was a shot in the arm for English architects interested in self-help and community participatory projects. It was large scale, yet it had areas of low rise and individual housing, with the outer skin of tall housing protecting the individual low-rise units from traffic noise and fumes. It helped establish the idea of tenant involvement in the design and occupation process, with a pop-in one-stop consultancy service for residents.
Erskine's main work after the English phase came mainly from Sweden, although there were some impressive projects in Italy (the renewal of Ancona), Austria (housing in Graz) and Canada (township, Resolute Bay). In 1988-92 he was back in the UK with his revolutionary ideas for a new kind of office block for the Larson Company, the Ark, set against the forbidding and inhospitable curves of the high speed and noisy Hammersmith flyover. There was nothing quite like it in London. An upturned and cut cone perhaps could best describe the unusual shape of this project, made possible not by Erskine's skill as a draughtsperson so much as by the new computer technology that was then developing. The result was a fluid, dynamic structure faced partly in a special brick, while inside the belly of office space was an atrium with a high-level pastiche of an Italian hilltop village at its navel. The building hit bad times and was not fully let after completion, but is now fully occupied.
There are many publications devoted to Erskine's career, including a fine, knowledgeable study by the English architect Peter Collymore ( The Architecture of Ralph Erskine, 1982) and a sensitive and well informed career biography by the Swedish architect Mats Egelius ( Ralph Erskine, Architect, 1975). Both publications cover an immense amount of work and chart the trajectory of what seemed to many an endless career, comparable in its extent to those of Frank Lloyd Wright and more recently Philip Johnson, both of whom left some telling projects until their late years.
Like Wright and Johnson, who are well known for their houses, it was Erskine's own house in Drottningholm that provided him with a laboratory of ideas. His eco-house was built in 1963 and reflected the local vernacular. It comprised three elements, the main house unit, a separate studio and garage block. Constructed of lightweight concrete panels, it has a ventilated black metal-finished roof to keep the snow and rain off the main insulated barrel vault below. This arrangement allows the snow to lie on the top roof and prevents icicles forming. All the blocks (including the saunas) are accessible from the delightful, well-planted courtyard which itself provides a foil to bitter winds from the sea.
Erskine received many honours and awards for his buildings including gold medals from Sweden, Canada and the RIBA. He was awarded the Wolf Prize in 1984, the year he was also made an Honorary Royal Academician.
As of February this year, Erskine's office in Stockholm now operates under the new title Erskine Tovatt Architects with a staff complement of 11. It is currently collaborating with Hurley Robertson Architects in the completion of the Greenwich Millennium Village in London, a project Ralph Erskine won in competition in 1998.

Cristiana Capotondi
Video interviews with the protagonists of La Passione, by Carlo Mazzacurati
Silvio Orlando, Giuseppe Battiston and Cristiana Capotondi turn the festival around with the return of the Italian comedy
You laugh following the crazy events of Silvio Orlando, a director in creative crisis that finds himself directing the portrayal of the Passion in a small Tuscan town. And, in the meanwhile, creating a screenplay for a erratic tv actress, Cristiana Capotondi. You are moved seeing the images of an ex inmate, Giuseppe Battiston, drag the cross in an ordeal that is a metaphor of these times.
And you keep on smiling to the bizarre things Capatondi does, an actress that wants a perfect script and that in the mind of Orlando acts the different roles created and recreated for her. Sarcastic parodies of ingenious and predictable themes, portrayed by Cristiana with irony and eclecticism, underlined by the continuous costume changes. She's an eighteen hundreds lady, a bended pirate, a no good, a modern Zivago.
So Carlo Mazzacurati meditates on creative crisis, on the difficulties of being an artist today, on the sacredness of the representation on a laic point of view and on the importance of rituals and tradition. Everything dealt with great irony, in a new Italian comedy with very exhilarating moments: Silvio Orlando that climbs to the top of the town to talk on his cell phone, Battiston that acts across Italy with a surreal show about aliens that want to conquer the world.

Nilgiri tahr, an ungulate endemic to the Western Ghats is the state animal of tamil nadu. It feeds over lush grass and herbs in the slopes of the Western Ghats. It is grandeur to our tamil nadu but unfortunately it is in the endangered list of international union for conservation of nature. These herbivores are attracted by the salt content in our snacks and so they eat the wrappers we throw in our forests. These wrappers cause digestive failure leading to the death of these ungulate wonders. So please try to keep our forests clean so that many lives flourish by this clean environment.

This review is from: Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System with bonus 12-count K-Cup Variety Pack and Water Filter 20029
Pros: Love that it's ready to produce a nice cup of coffee in a short time. Handy for my coffee drinkers and not a usual half pot of burned coffee that has sat for too long and is wasted.
Cons: price of pods is high. Shop for sales.
Other Thoughts: Shop around for coffee pod sales. I have six of these machines in my freight buildings and always a hit with my drivers.
I replaced three commercial Bunn systems with the Keurig.

I bought my first pair of these in June/08 ...still using them at least once a day. I've owned and do own many others ..best of my flock.

Why Are So Many Christians Afraid of Dating?
June 16, 2015
Debra K. Fileta is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Relationship and Marital issues. She is the author of ... Read More
Once upon a time, I freaked out about dating.
I repressed my desire for dating and relationships with the opposite sex and decided that courtship was the "holier" course of action for my life. I bought into the theory that dating was wrong and the only way to find God's one and only match for my life would be to wait for some sort of sign from God.
So, I waited. And waited. And waited.
Eventually, I got into a relationship with a man who pursued me. But my immature mentality left no room for error, so I ended up staying in the relationship far longer than I should have—which caused heartbreak and a whole lot of wasted time.
Dating can be daunting for Christians. The Church has often created a "fear culture" around the topic of dating—putting so much pressure on singles to find the "right person." On the other hand, the culture at large defines dating as this feel-good, romantic, emotionally-driven, sexual experience. It's a culture that embraces pleasure and passion as the foundation of relationships.
You don't have to know if they're "the one" as long as you're in tune with the Almighty One. So have faith—and then take the next step.
Sometimes, rather than trying to navigate through the world of dating in a healthy way, we either avoid it or continue to do it in an unhealthy way.
But the truth is, God never intended us to live in fear, but rather in faith. God's word reminds us that perfect love casts out fear. Not only that, but in this world, God has given us all the wisdom we need to live by faith. Wisdom and faith always go hand in hand. That includes every part of our life, including dating.
As I began to ask for wisdom in the area of dating and relationships, I began engaging in the balancing act between the world's perspective of dating vs. the "Christian" perspective of dating, I found myself empowered and my relationships enhanced. I finally felt that I was able to take control of my life and relationships, rather than allowing my culture and sub-culture to take control of me.
When it came to striking the right balance, I finally stopped freaking out when I began to consider these concepts in light of my relationships:
Date to Know Yourself Better
A crucial component to finding a healthy relationship is the concept of getting to know yourself. You can't know what you want or what you need in a relationship until you get to know who you are. It's important to begin this journey long before you are in a dating relationship, but to then allow this process to extend into your dating relationships.
You can learn so much about yourself as you engage in relationships with the people around you. Use this time to reflect on who you are, what you want and where you are going. See your interactions as a reflection of your strengths, weaknesses, actions and reactions. Be observant and aware so that you can use each and every relationship in your life to become a better version of yourself.
Take it One Date at a Time
Everything good in life happens as a result of time. Growth, intimacy and commitment in a relationship all require life's natural unfolding to bring them into full bloom.
However, Christians sometimes psych themselves out into thinking they have to know if that person is "the one" within 24 hours of meeting them. Talk about some serious pressure. It's no wonder she's afraid to text him back, and he's afraid to ask her out for coffee.
Maybe it's time to relax a little and trust God to lead you into the right relationship one step at a time. If you are following His leading and trusting the internal wisdom He's given you—one step at a time will always lead you into the right direction or guide you out of the wrong direction. You don't have to know if they're "the one" as long as you're in tune with the Almighty One. So have faith—and then take the next step.
Date Toward No Regrets
Though the modern concept of dating is not mentioned in Scripture, principles of interacting with one another are littered throughout. Applying these standards to your actions and interactions will give you guidance and direction in interacting with the opposite sex with no regrets.
We are called engage in relationships that are mutually edifying, encouraging and uplifting (1 Thessalonians 5:11). We are asked to refrain from arousing our sexual desires prematurely, reserving them to be expressed in a permanent covenant relationship through marriage (Song of Solomon 8:4, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Thessalonians 4:3). We are encouraged to see everything that we do in life as an opportunity to glorify God (1 Corinthians 10:31). Why not see dating as just another means to this end?
After some self-reflection, I finally realized that I was using dating as the scapegoat, rather than addressing my baggage, my fears and my deep-seated insecurities. When I finally came to terms with the reality that dating was not the enemy, I was freed to address my own sinfulness and take accountability for my interactions with the opposite sex. At the end of the day, I realized that by making intentional decisions, I could take control of my relationships rather than allowing them to take control of me.
Christians, it's time to stop freaking out about dating and see it as an opportunity for growth, insight and right relationships. It's time to take the pressure off of "finding the one" and instead learn to glorify The One through every single interaction that we have with the world around us. Dating included.

I kissed courtship goodbye. That sounds like a good book!
Solid insight when you realized dating wasn't the enemy, rather it was a scapegoat to cover your personal insecurities and fears. That'll have me thinking for awhile! Thanks!

As the article astutely points out, fear is a large part of it. Fear of sex—not the act or experience (you'd hope), but commission of Sin®.
Or equally grave: marrying the "wrong" person and facing the prospect of *gasp... whisper* d-i-v-o-r-c-e!
These are among the beautiful dysfunctions The Church® has instilled in us.
At least for me, my initial aversion to dating had more to do with avoiding sexual immorality but also being career focused.
I totally identify with this! So often people shy away from dating out of fear- either of commitment or out of not wanting to commit. It puts WAY too much pressure on the dating process, a process that should be light and easy not vague and confusing.
We don't want to get hurt so we would rather not try or rather go all in. It's quite the paradox.
Great thoughts. Sharing this post with the Future Marriage University (FMU) community at https://www.facebook.com/FMUniversity.
I just hope we can me careful not to make courtship the enemy anymore than dating. At the end of the day, it's not about what you call it, but how you go about it... and your motives behind it.
If you're dating, here's some great questions for great dates: http://f-m-u.com/Blog/great-questions-for-great-dates-interests-and-iden....
Can't agree, I saw so many christians at online dating sources (Tinder, https://kovla.com/datings/us/pasadena/ ) :) There is even a special dating app for them, Collide, as far as I remember :)

Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and dozens of other familiar faces from the annals of Disney history paraded through the 51-hectare (126-acre) park, cheered on by 15,000 people who had turned out to see them. The resort comprises the Disneyland and DisneySea theme parks as well as three hotels, shopping malls and a monorail line that connects the facilities. In contrast to the Disneylands in Hong Kong and France, which have sometimes struggled to attract paying punters, Tokyo Disney Resort is one of Japan\'s most popular tourist destinations, with more than 25 million visitors a year. A total 570 million people have visited since the park opened -- approximately four times Japan\'s population, with tourists coming from all over Asia to see Mickey and friends. \"Since its opening day in 1983, Tokyo Disney Resort has inspired the imagination of hundreds of millions of guests, becoming the most followed resort destination in Japan,\" said Thomas Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, at a ceremony.

Geithner's Book to Tackle His Image as Wingman of Wall StreetKasia Klimasinska
Timothy Geithner's memoir will explain his decisions during the global financial crisis, tackle any misperceptions and describe surviving a political firestorm from Wall Street to Main Street, he said.
The book, titled "Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises," is scheduled for release May 13, Crown Publishers, a unit of Random House LLC's Crown Publishing Group, said in a statement today. The title refers to reviews the government ran on the biggest financial companies to ensure they could withstand stress stemming from markets or the economy.
The book will cover the "most controversial and politically unpalatable decisions" Geithner made as Treasury secretary and previously as the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, according to Crown's statement. It includes the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. bankruptcy in 2008, the American International Group Inc. bonuses controversy and post-crisis financial regulation tightening, the publisher said.
"I hope this book will help answer some of the questions that still linger about the crisis," Geithner said in a statement on the book's website. "Why didn't we nationalize more banks, or let more banks fail? How did we manage to convince the left we were Wall Street's wingmen while convincing Wall Street we were Che Guevaras in suits?"
Geithner, 52, is scheduled to start as president and managing director of New York-based buyout firm Warburg Pincus LLC March 1 after more than 25 years in public service.
Public Service
He started working in government in 1988, when he joined the Treasury Department after working as a consultant. He later moved to the International Monetary Fund and then the New York Fed, where he was president during the onset of the U.S. financial crisis. In 2009, he became Treasury chief under President Barack Obama, a position he held until January 2013.
His four years in office were marked by crises. In September 2008, when Geithner led the New York branch of the Fed and four months before he moved to the Treasury, the government rescued insurer AIG and allowed Lehman Brothers to fall into bankruptcy. Geithner then supervised the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program bailouts of companies including Citigroup Inc. and General Motors Co.
Geithner was the main proponent of the May 2009 stress tests for 19 of the biggest U.S. banks, including Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co., that boosted investor confidence in the financial firms.
In the following months he became the administration's point man to Congress on what became the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law. The bill created a consumer-protection bureau, toughened rules on derivatives trading, set up a liquidation process for failing banks and put under Fed supervision bank-holding companies with more than $50 billion in assets -- a group that includes Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Being stressed is good for you
The financial crisis highlighted numerous failings in risk management. Regulators argue that senior management was over-reliant on certain metrics such as value-at-risk, and failed to appreciate the limitations of the approach - specifically, that it did not capture low probability but high-impact events at the tail of the distribution. Banks are now being pushed to address this blind spot by making better use of qualitative measures such as stress tests and scenario analysis - techniques tha

These cases were made possible by the 2009 decision of the Illinois Supreme Court in Kean v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a case brought by a plaintiff class of Illinois residents who had placed orders with Wal-Mart's internet store, and were charged sales tax on the shipping and handling charges for the orders. The plaintiffs alleged that Wal-Mart did not have the statutory authority to collect the tax on shipping because, under Illinois regulations, retailers are not required to collect sales tax on shipping charges if the buyer and seller enter into a separate agreement for shipping. The court found that Wal-Mart was correct to collect the tax. The decision held that because customers had to select a shipping option before they could submit their orders, shipping was not a separate transaction but rather part of the "selling price" for goods on which tax is required to be collected.
Given the high penalties involved, many retailers are choosing to settle out of court, and it may be some time before the courts rule on whether the False Claims Act appropriately applies to such tax claims. The Illinois Tax Department is also expected to update and clarify its regulations in the wake of Kean, but has yet to do so at this time. In the interim, retailers may be advised to take proactive steps to ensure that they are complying with the law under Kean and collecting sales tax on shipping charges for all internet sales to Illinois residents.

The Federal Aviation Administration has learned some lessons for improving accuracy and transparency.
The Transportation Department's Inspector General's office looked at how FAA reported money spent through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, following a request from the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, John Mica (R-Fla.).
According to the report, FAA met the Recovery Act's mandates to report job data, and the agency had made progress doing so over time.
However, the IG also found areas for improvement for reporting data on job creation efforts.

Marinol (dronabinol) is an FDA approved drug which has been marketed as a safe alternative to medicinal marijuana. Its active ingredient is synthetic THC, a compound that produces the psychoactive effects of marijuana. Studies have shown that THC has medicinal properties that can relieve the symptoms of some diseases and conditions, as well as the side effects of their treatment. Marinol is prescribed to help combat the side effects of cancer treatment, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and pain.

Marinol Pros

One of the greatest things about using Marinol to combat cancer treatment side effects is that it is legal. You don't have to worry about the legal consequences of using marijuana medicinally if you live in a state where it is prohibited. It only requires a prescription from your doctor and it available at most pharmacies.

Marinol does not need to be smoked -- it comes in a pill form. This is especially helpful for those who are concerned with the social stigma and possible health effects of smoking marijuana. This is a plus for many cancer patients who are parents that are worried about their children being exposed to medicinal marijuana.

Some people do find it to be an excellent alternative to medicinal marijuana. It may take adjusting the dosage, but many do find it relaxes them, stimulates the appetite, and controls nausea and vomiting related to cancer treatment.

Marinol Cons:

Marinol is approved for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea ONLY after other treatments have failed. In reality, it is rare not to be able to control nausea with other more potent drugs than marinol, and in about 10 percent of the cases, Marinol itself can cause nausea. With any drug, there are going to be downsides and Marinol is no exception. One of the greatest cons to taking Marinol is the cost. Depending on the dosage and frequency of use, Marinol can cost several hundreds of dollars a month. Even more troubling is that many insurance plans do not have Marinol in their formulary. If you want Marinol, then you will more than likely have to pay out of pocket for it.

Secondly, Marinol will not provide you with immediate relief. It is an oral medication and the body has a relatively slow absorption rate. You can expect relief about 30 minutes to 2 hours after taking the drug. If you are experiencing nausea/vomiting and are taking Marinol to combat these effects, you may have to make the effort to keep the drug down long enough for it to be absorbed, which may be difficult.

The duration of the appetite stimulation lasts at least 24 hours after using Marinol while the euphoria or "high" usually does not last more than 4 to 6 hours. But for patients who are only seeking to increase their appetite and aren't seeking a"high," this can also be seen as an unwanted side effect and may be habit-forming if used for a long time.

Marinol isn't really recommended for people with a history psychiatric disorders or seizures, and it should be used with care in patients over 65 as the side effects can be more pronounced.

Finally, it doesn't work for everyone. Some people may not find relief from the drug, while others find it highly effective. Some users have reported feeling exaggerated effects that are typical of smoking marijuana while using Marinol -- feeling extremely "high" or "loopy," drowsy, and cloudy thinking. This effect has caused some Marinol users to discontinue the drug. The psychoactive effects of Marinol can last for several hours after taking the drug, so it is not as controlled as using medicinal marijuana.

In Summary

Marinol has been proven to be an effective alternative to medicinal marijuana. Some people prefer marijuana over Marinol and vice versa -- it is a matter of personal choice. Each has their benefits and disadvantages. But the truth is that while there are many drugs that can be prescribed to relieve nausea and vomiting, there aren't many that can stimulate the appetite without side effects. (It has been reported that some of the steroids-based appetite stimulants, for example, may cause thrombosis in patients with cancer.) With this in mind, marijuana-derived treatments should perhaps be used when appetite stimulation is the real priority.
