We had many discussions about whether or not to try to stick <IsPrincipal> in dav:resourcetype. The consensus of the working group was that dav:resourcetype is too simple to extend nicely. The other issue other than the WebFolders bug you are alluding to is that there isn't really a type system in WebDAV. What you want is to define all of the abstract interfaces that a resource supports. The Java version of this might be: <Group.java> public class Group extends ietf.webdav.Resource implements ietf.webdav.Principal, ietf.webdav.Versioned, ietv.webdav.Collection { } Since we are reexamining RFC2518 at the same time we are releasing versioning & ACLs, maybe we should address this? I think this is a general problem. DeltaV addresses the "what interfaces do you support" question by looking for particular properties, which is also kind of hokey.

Well as the link burgandy sent me doesn't work, says everything I click on as "not available" I will keep the same avatar. Just wanted something shiney.
Thank you Burgandy for trying anyway, do...
BTW, love the pic, how do you get that kind of pic. Would like to do something for the devil with something like that.
when it comes to here I am a noob, I really am. My mistake for pickin at you.
same again, just from talking to some other players in game and from reading all the different posts in here. I just went along with what they were saying. Have no idea who BB is, only one I know...
LOL - wrong, didn't play last round. Just going by the posts in the different rooms. Seems there are a lot looking for the pretty little miss. Also, not used to posting here, so you will have to...
Aw come on, let there be fun. She said she was bored and needed some amusement. :devil:
I am sure by reading all the posts that if you show where you are deep hiding you will get all kinds of drama and stuff to keep you from being bored and well amused. :popcorn: Waiting for it to start.
depends on what the stash is, as long as it is not popcorn
Super idea. Hopefully, the room stays. This is all new to me, but reading the posts is interesting, will learn sooner or later about the forum. In the meantime :thumbup:
What! you don't like :popcorn:. Besides that is all the drama is worth.
Stand up and take your whippings! :rolleyes:
Couldn't resist.
Here is a little analysis for you all: Why is the former "OUT" reducing to 1 wing? Do they think improving their alliance rank it will really make a difference? AND what about the other great...
nah! OOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSSIE just a little typo. OH MY IZ 4got u da perfect 1. LMFAO as if, you never were and never will be. Put you dog costume back on, fits ya better.
LMFAO, the face really shows the real you burg, nice. The day you have a bode like that is the day I win 10 billion buckos. Dream on girl! Dream on! :devil2:

I believe this show is available on Hulu, all three season. I have not seen it, but hopefully I will get around to watching it!ReplyDelete
Oh, I should check that out!ReplyDelete
It so happens that I am sort of focusing on Robin Hood in my reading and watching this year, and so I've been wondering if I should try this show. Clearly, I should. I can watch it on Amazon Prime for free, but only for 9 more days! Ack! I'll have to try some eps over the next few days and see if I like it well enough to find a way to see the rest.ReplyDelete
Yes, I definitely recommend it! However, like I said, you have to give it a little time, because the first couple episodes aren't that great. Like all TV shows, you grow to love the characters;) I hope you'll like it, but I've also talked to people who didn't care for it that much, mainly because of the legend distortion. But give it a try, and if you're hooked, come back and tell me because WE WILL FANGIRL. Really, really hard. And also sob really, really hard. But that's okay because…just because:DReplyDeleteReplies
Watched the first 2 eps last night, and I'm going to skip merrily around in seasons 2 and 3 now. So far, my reactions are: Robin is amusing, Much is delightful, I'm not a Marian fan (sorry), and Guy... Guy has potential. The sheriff also makes me laugh a LOT.Delete
Haha, well skip carefully;)Delete
Okay, just a heads-up about Marian: I didn't like her in the first two episodes either. She grows on you as the season progresses, though:D
Isn't Much amazing?! I can't even begin. I love him so much. Hearts forever.
Yes. Guy.
Doesn't he? He's really funny, but in a really sick way!
Well, I may change my mind on Marian after 2 more eps tonight, then. I have to say, I'm sorely tempted to do the free 1-month trial of Hulu Plus to get to watch the rest of this series -- if after this week I just Need More, I may end up doing that.Delete
I'll leave you another comment tomorrow telling you what eps I watched.
Well, we can always hope!;)Delete
I think that sounds like a stupendous idea...by the way, my favorite episode of the first season was the finale. I know I said this enough times in the review but IT WAS SO GOOD.
Yes, do! I look forward to learning:D
Well, I watched "Tattoo? What Tattoo?" and "The Enemy of My Enemy" last night, and the very beginning and very end of "Bad Blood" for all the yummy Gisborne vs. Robin fighting. (I watched these with DKoren, who filled me in on Plot Points so I knew what was going on and why.) I wish we could have a whole series about the two of them snarking and brawling together! If I get a chance this week, I'll try to watch another couple eps before they disappear from Amazon Prime.Delete
Good deal! Oh, yes, the rivalry of Guy and Robin *indulgent sigh* Those silly boys. Seriously, though, in "Tatoo? What Tatoo?" when they're rolling around on the forest floor fighting, I'm just like, "Grow up, guys, really." XDDelete
That was the best part! I was quite sad when the fight ended, because it was so splendid.Delete
It was certainly entertaining, I'll give you that:DDelete
I found your blog through Naomi's Wonderland Creek blog and I got very excited when I saw you had a review of Robin Hood! A friend of mine introduced me to this show a few months ago and I fell in LOVE! Robin and Marian are my favorites, followed closely by Much and... well everybody. I just adore all the characters. And yes! Guy of Gisbourne! I too watched North and South before this, so seeing him as a bad guy was hard.....
The show just has such cute couples....Robin and Marian, firstly, and then yes, Will and Djaq and Much and Eve!
Ugh yes....it certainly does play with your emotions...and if you think season 1 was hard....
But in all seriousness, I heartily recommend season 2. I think I might even like it better than season 1 (mainly because Robin and Marian are adoooorrraaabbble in it-and so are Will and Djaq! Especially episode 12...awwwww) except for the ending of course. I was sobbing and was kind of depressed for a couple of days....I think it would have helped if I knew beforehand....but I didn't. I only had suspicions...
Anyways, I'm sorry for this long and rambling comment but I just get so excited over this show! :)Replies
Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by:D (May I just say that YOUR PROFILE PICTURE. Respect. XD )Delete
YES. ROBIN HOOD. And Robin and Marian are just too precious. Can't even. Haha, I know how you feel. Somebody asking, "Hey, which is your favorite character in Robin Hood?" Me: "Ha. What?"
*heavy sigh* Guy. You want so badly to like him (well, privately, I DO like his character sometimes), and you do feel bad for him.
Doesn't it, though? Everybody's so cute!
Uggghh yes, that's why I'm torn…I know it'll totally mutilate my emotional wellbeing…but at the same time, I really want to see how it all ends…Yes, I'm VERY glad I knew beforehand about the monstrosity that is the Season Two finale; I think there would have been problems if I'd watched the second season with knowing the ending:( But yes, if I can figure out a way to watch the rest of the show, I will!:D
No, no, thank you so much for commenting! Comments (especially long comments) thrill me beyond all reasonable reason =D I'm going to head over to your blog and have a look around!:D
Haha, thanks!!Delete
"Ha. What?" is such the correct answer.
I too do feel bad for Guy sometimes...ESPECIALLY season 3. I really like him in season 3. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I can't say anymore...
Yes, mutilate your emotional wellbeing, it will. But still. I recommend trying it. After season 2 I felt pretty done with RH, but my friend encouraged me to watch season 3 as well. I'm glad I did, even if it's not as good as the previous seasons (don't even get me started on some characters...). But incase you didn't know, there is an ammaaaazzing Marian scene in season 3. I won't say anymore (hopefully I didn't ruin anything for you) but it ALMOST makes up for her death. Well, not really, but it helps. ;)
I watch RH for free on this website:
It gives free links to the episodes. Maybe it will work for you!
Haha, yes, you'll find that I overuse that phrase--a lot.Delete
Oh, goody! Now I want to see it even more;) Though, let me guess, he dies at the end, but he dies a redeemed and self-sacrificing man, right? Darned tv producers! (Don't actually tell me, though.)
Yes…okay, I will try:) Oh, good! I love Marian--didn't like her at first, but she grew on me so much during the season:D Haha, yeah, I'm pretty sure that NOTHING will EVER make up for her death, but I get what you mean XD
Okay, thanks! I'll check it out--if I can figure it out, I'll probably write a review of the second and third seasons sometime:D
Oh, good news! RH actually DIDN'T go off Netflix, so I can still watch it easily!:D Reviews will be coming!Delete
Haha, I won't tell about Guy I promise. You'll have to find out for yourself...Delete
Good! I'll look forward to your reviews! I have to review RH myself sometime (along with a bunch of other things...) but I have such a hard time blogging regularly. Once a month is probably my average. ;)
Yay! Have fun watching them!!
The way that Guy ended, though...:(Delete
YES! Please review them!!
I was perusing your RH reviews for ideas on a certain post on mine, and I just realized THIS IS HOW WE FIRST "MET". *cries from nostalgia* Who would have thought we'd be meeting for real only in little over a year....! Love you, friend. <3Delete
Hahaha, I also realize I still have not reviewed RH. *facepalm*Delete
Awwww, NATALIE!!! You're gonna make me cry. *has tears*Delete
Seriously, this comment made my day, I think and THANK YOU FOR IT. *hugs you*
I know!! I'm still amazed, sometimes -- thinking about how much my blog has grown from what I could have expected it to, and realizing how many beautiful, CLOSE friends I've met through it . . . and yaaaaaasss, how I got to MEET SOME OF THEM AFTER ONLY A YEAR!!!! I mean, I thought it'd be years and years before I could meet with any of you. God is so good. <3
Hehehe, aherm, yes, I'm still waiting for that. *taps foot* (But I understand. IT'S HARD.)
I'm so sorry this reply is super duper late!!!Delete
OH no! Don't cry because then I'LL cry too....*sniff.* *hands tissues*
AMEEENNN. To. All. Of. What. You. Said. Yes yes yes. God is so good and I'm so very grateful. <3 I always need to remind myself of our meet up when I get kind of down about life and how unexciting it can seem at times. Because then it's like, "Um GIRL? You MET five blogging friends at once after only a few years of blogging, what is wrong with you?? And not only are they just five friends, but five BEST friends." :D *hugs*
(Oh dear....don't wait TOO long. At this point I'm not sure if it will ever happen! *sad face*) (But if I ever do write that post, I'm going to dedicate it to you for your extreme patience. :D)
I just finished this season last night and I need to fangirl about everything. So I found this post and here I am. :)ReplyDelete
Haha, Robin is self-centered and obstinate and obnoxious but I do like him. xD
Ahhh, Guy is tricky. The Sheriff, one can loathe with passion and no remorse, but Guy...it's just not that simple. Sometimes he's awful and one may hate him and sometimes he's awkward with Marian or mistreated by the Sheriff and then one must feel bad for him.
Oh my goodness, I loooved the "I love her...I think I like her" exchange. I went back a little back so I could watch it twice. xD
"Special girls' food." LOL
Ohh, I forgot about Eps. 4. Yeah, I definitely don't like Guy.
That last gif is absolutely perfect by the way. :D
*goes to order Season Two from the library system*Replies
MEREDITH. I AM SO SO SO SOOOO SORRY!Delete
I had no idea I hadn't responded to this, honest!! Thank you so much for the comment; I love comments on old posts, especially when they pertain to gushing about BBC RH. So THANK YOU! <3
*nods head at your summation of Robin* Yep. Basically. That is, I can't remember feeling that he was self-centered, but maybe he is in the first season and then matures. :-P It's been a couple years since I've watched the whole thing, so I can't really say.
RIGHT? RIIIIIIIGHT?! Like, why. WHY IS GUY SO COMPLICATED. (But I like that he's complicated. <3)
Isn't it adorable?! Will and Allan are basically the best, as is Djaq. (As are practically all of them!!!)
Djaq's sass is first-class. :D (Um. What. What did I just type. *face palm*)
I HATED GUY IN EP. 4. The only episode where I unadulteratedly despised him, and despise him I did.
ISN'T IIIIITTTTT. <3 *hugs it*
Ahhh, I'm so happy! And your library system has it?! You lucky girl, you. :D (Well, actually, mine might, too -- I'll have to check again!)
THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT! Please, never hesitate to hit me up if you're feeling the need for a Robin Hood rant. :D (And again, I'm SO sorry it's taken me since JANUARY to respond to this!)
Haha, you're totally fine. XD I'm a little surprised I wrote this in January myself-- it didn't seem like that long ago!Delete
I guess I didn't mean self-centered as much as a little self-absorbed...on occasion. You know what I mean? But yeah, self-centered is the wrong word because he's actually pretty selfless.
WHYYyyyyy. :P
Well now I'm at the beginning of Season Two(I watch tv shows so slowly, haha) and I definitely do not like Allan. I think I could though after some development in the right direction. BUT Djaq and Will= yess.
"sass is first-class" I love it. xD
Yes, my library system does have it! They don't have it in the nearest library, so I have to order it from a different one and then wait a few weeks for it to get all the way to my library(which is why I watch it so slowly)...but I'm still grateful because I don't have Netflix so for a while I couldn't figure out where to watch it.
Of course! Thanks for fangirling with me:D I'll probably hit you up on your Season 2 review with more RH discussion when I finish that season. xD

In this paper I will discuss the nature of logic as I understand it, with an emphasis on an instance in my life that illustrates how my critical thinking process was used to deal with the situation.
It started with the excitement of knowing we were going to have a baby. I got the news and was overjoyed at the thought of being a father. I thought of the football games, fishing and the like. My father had died when I was very young and I never had a good male role model in my life. So here was my chance. I was going to have a baby and would be the best father and parent I could be.
We did the normal regular check ups each month at the doctor's office. I attended most, if not, all of these visits. I wanted to understand the process of birth and development.
During this time I started to read a great deal about being a parent. It seemed pretty easy overall. Change the diapers, give the baby a bottle, and put the baby to bed for sleep. Pretty routine stuff, I thought, since I had been doing this for myself for many years. I mean I eat, sleep and use the bathroom, so how hard could it be?
After about nine months give or take a few days (seemed like years) our daughter was born. What a beautiful little girl. What, no football, baseball or fishing? Though these were not my first thoughts in my mind, I could not help thinking about that. When I held her for the first time I was amazed at the detail and beauty that was my daughter. We bonded for about an hour, I guess they call it that, and she slept in...

Occupy Wall Street Protestor Says: I Hope 9/11 Happens Again Right Now
Hat tip to Jihad Watch and blogger, Stranahan, for sharing this one with the world. An "occupy" protestor who goes by the name "Ralph" said (on camera) that he hopes "9/11 happens again right now".

I see so many beautiful valentine cards all over blogosphere , I couldn't resist making one. I love to quill heart shape , its my favourite.I have just used some basic shapes for this card. Almost the entire card is made with identical tear shapes and I folded some roses using 5mm wide paper strip.
I feel like always that the photographs don't do justice at all to quilled work. I struggle sometimes to photograph my work. I finally took a lot of snaps in many angles experimenting with different lighting. Hope you all like it.
Thanks for stopping by, Have a creative day.

ISM and Ubifrance win the "Demain l'Economie" prize for promoting EPV companies abroad
The Institut Supérieur des Métiers (ISM), commissioned by the French state to manage the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, and Ubifrance were awarded the "Demain l'Economie" prize on Tuesday 11th March 2014 in the Export category. This trophy, awarded in the presence of Jean-Paul Delevoye, Chairman of the Economic, social and environmental council at a ceremony in Palais d'Iéna, rewarded the "Le Grand Atelier" project, allowing a selection of 32 companies of excellence with the EPV label to exhibit in Harrods (London) in June 2013, backed by the DGCIS (Department of Competitiveness, Industry and Services).
Organised by the Association des anciens auditeurs du Cycle des hautes études pour le développement économique (AAACHEDE) in partnership with the Institut de la Gestion Publique et du Développement Économique (IGPDE), the "Demain l'Économie" prize rewards the successful partnerships between companies and the public sector which help the economic development of our country.
French excellence spotlighted on the UK market
Le Grand Atelier, a temporary boutique dedicated
to the excellence of French know-how, hosted the best of French gastronomy,
interior design and creation at Harrods, from 3rd to 29th June 2013. The purpose was to
promote the know-how of Living Heritage Companies, flagships of French
lifestyle, by using the fame and image of the famous London store, an icon of
luxury, to promote exceptional French products.
The 32 companies enjoyed financial, technical and commercial assistance and benefited from a communication campaign organised by the three partner organisations, namely the ISM, Ubifrance and the DGCIS (Department of Competitiveness, Industry and Services).
Three aspects of the project appealed to the jury:
- The promotion of the EPV government-approved label, allocated by the Ministry for Craft, Commerce and Tourism and the Ministry for Industrial Renewal,
- The support given to these exceptional companies in terms of export,
- The promotion of French know-how and excellence and the image of France in an upmarket London department store.
The quality of the project in economic, social and societal terms was rewarded, notably for the development of new business relations for the companies, and support for sustainable French production.

I have worked with Angelo & Ann at couple of different companies whenever I have been in need of any kind of set up. They have always been prompt, courteous and professional with every event in both my professional & personal needs. Their staff always arrives on time to ensure the equipment is set up and working. The staff is always friendly and are willing to show the not so familiar with A/V (such as myself) how to use everything with ease. I have enjoyed working with this company throughout the years and look forward to many more!
I have been using ANG video for my conferences for about 5 years and they have become part of our crew. They always go above and beyond and work with my budget. I can't imagine EVER going back to in-house AV for a conference.
I cannot say enough about A.N.G. and their staff. I have worked with them at a couple different companies and they are always beyond helpful. Alex, Greg, Angelo and Ann are quick to respond and go the extra mile. Communication is easy and fast. Alex and Greg always set everything up and make sure I know how to use everything before they leave. Drop and pick up is convenient and they work around my needs for scheduling. Pricing is also very affordable. I never plan to use any other A/V company. Thanks guys!

Bitcho To Re-Release "Toybox"
Dutch droners Bitcho recorded the debut double album "Toybox" in 2009 and released a limited online run of 200 copies, which sold out within a few months. In 2011 Bitcho injected new alcohol to the band, recruited a third bass player, and wrote a lot of new material that will, according to the group, "make you trip like &*$#. It's hypnotic, monotonous, repetitive and distorted, full of feedback-enriched segments, analog soundscapes and sluggish huge drums."
"Toybox" will be re-released in 2012 with new artwork, and Bitcho will also record a destructing new follow-up album.
You can check out tracks from "Toybox" through the Bandcamp player below, or by heading over to the Bitcho Facebook profile. More...

You chose the best place for your dinner party it seems, the food sounds delish and I love the ambiance, I'll have to check it out! You're so right. You know how many times I've seen gorgeous dresses at Nordstrom Rack and have passed because I felt I didn't need them at the moment and when I actually did, of course I couldn't find a dress. So, I will definitely buy when I see from now on! That said, I love your dresses, they look so good on you; you have such a gorgeous dress collection based off all the special events you share with us! Thanks for sharing this recap, beauty, and I hope you're keeping warm and safer from this storm!ReplyDelete

In today's Waterloo Record | Watch the whole concert.
Right from the beginning, the Perimeter Institute has recognized symbiotic relationship between arts and science. This is a more unusual approach than it may first appear. In our specialized world, the two are usually viewed as an either/or binary like on/off or dead/alive. Up until roughly 175 years ago, it was assumed that well educated person could converse intelligently about science, art, literature, religion and philosophy.
Most of the men we consider to be hugely influential, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, were considered universal men; that is equally brilliant in a number of disparate fields. It is the influence of poet, dramatist, scientist and novelist Goethe (1749-1832) that was examined by the Penderecki String Quartet Friday evening.
Goethe's theories and ideas permeated practically all aspects of European knowledge in the 18th and 19th centuries and it was considered the done thing for men to stop in at Weimar for a visit while on their Grand Tour. A tad ironic perhaps, but it is the pervasiveness of all things Goethe that threw a bit of monkey wrench into the idea of quantifying the man. After all, if Goethe influenced everything then the theme has no reductive function and is therefore not really that useful.
The evening began with a short lecture given by Gino Segrè comparing Goethe to the physicist Neils Bohr. The connection was real although the reason for making it at that particular moment, aside from giving Segrè a chance to talk about his new book, was rather more elusive.
The first string quartet piece was Five Movements for String Quartet by Anton Webern. Dry and sparse, it was a good fit acoustically for the Mike Lazaridis Theatre although I spent most of the time wondering what the point of the accompanying video presentation was. The connection between the two men was Goethe's Theory of Colour but all the pixelated graphics brought to mind was a mid-1990s screen saver.
Kotoka Suzuki's VESTIGA for string quartet, dance, live electronic audio/video and nuclear magnetic resonance machine was the piece around which the rest of the concert was programmed. It consisted mostly of short burst of sounds and colour with periodic interpolations of pre-recorded sound. I liked it as a piece of music but a lecture on how the nuclear magnetic resonance machine works would have gone miles towards making the science of the process more clear.
Schubert's Quintet in C Major was the final piece of the evening and from the very first phrase, the room was a problem. The sound dies almost immediately, which makes achieving the lushness needed for this piece if not impossible, at least very hard work. Perhaps trying to make the best of a tough acoustic, the PSQ opted for an interpretation that was lean and unsentimental. A few intonation disasters aside, the performance was enjoyable and at times exciting. In the end though, I found myself longing for a little more of the sweet sound and playfulness for which the Quartet is known.

For the April 2018 issue of Perspective Magazine, Richard Lord sat down with Ole Scheeren to talk about his work with Rem Koolhaas, the need for architects to engage closely with China and his disruption of the traditional form of skyscrapers in his search for interconnectedness
This is an excerpt from "Sky connector", the cover article from the April issue of Perspective magazine. To continue reading, get your copy of Perspective.
German architect Ole Scheeren the man behind a global collection of mind- warping buildings designed to encourage interaction and interconnectedness – most famously the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing – seems to have been destined to go into the profession.
Born in 1971 in Karlsruhe, Germany, to an architect father, he has been immersed in the subject his entire life and says he knew early that it was what he wanted to do. "There was a feeling that Iwas so close, that I already knew so much, and a belief that there was an opportunity to do something meaningful, maybe make a contribution."
"I'm very emotionally against the idea of architects sitting in Europe and coming up with designs for China; I don't feel it's a productive model."
Inspired from a young age by the work of Rem Koolhaas, he decided he wanted to work for Koolhaas's Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), and he eventually did so in 1995 after driving from Germany to Amsterdam, turning up at OMA's office and essentially demanding to be taken on. "It was a thought I'd been carrying with me for maybe five or six years, but I waited until I was ready," he says. "Then I woke up in the middle of the night and I was ready. I went the next day. When I did it, I had no doubt."
In the meantime, Ole Scheeren made a life-changing trip to the country that would eventually become his home, China, when it was still largely closed to foreigners. "I flew to Hong Kong, went through Shenzhen – which at the time was nothing, just a few construction sites – took a boat to Guangzhou, and then into the depths of the country. Once I got past Kunming, I often didn't know where I was. It changed my life in ways I couldn't have foreseen. It broke down all of my assumptions about the way the world works, and liberated me from my European up bringing. And I found I could survive things I didn't think I could. It's something I've carried through to today."
He returned to China after he took charge of OMA's Asia operations in 2002, moving to Beijing in 2004. The main reason, of course, was CCTV, "but also to really involve myself in the context", he says. "I'm very emotionally against the idea of architects sitting in Europe and coming up with designs for China; I don't feel it's a productive model."
He was immediately inspired by China's commitment to development. "China did not simply have an imposed will that was forcing people to do something. I had a real sense of development and ambition at all levels of society. Every person on the street had an acute belief in the future."
Typically for his work, the 465,000sqm, US$800-million CCTV building, popularly nicknamed the Big Trousers for its unique, Escher-like offset-square shape, is supposed to encourage interaction, its endless loop emphasising collaboration rather than the isolation of the skyscraper.
"It filled me with confidence that I could tackle anything," he says of the project; he set up his own firm, Büro Ole Scheeren, in 2010. Its latest project, Beijing's Guardian Art Center, the new headquarters of China's oldest art auction house, China Guardian Auctions, has been built in a context about as different as possible from CCTV's hypermodernism: it sits right next to the Forbidden City. A museum, event space and cultural centre, it's also close to the commercial centre of Wangfujing, a contrast that's resolved by a lower section with a fine-grained appearance referencing hutong architecture, with a giant modernist floating box atop it.
His personal long-term commitment to China, says Scheeren, made working in such a culturally sensitive environment easier. "It's never been perceived as an opportunistic act. There was a degree of respect for our work because we took the project and the context seriously."
In fact, 30 previous designs for the site had been rejected over the past 15 years for not sufficiently respecting the historical context. "The client made it clear that for him, the cultural legacy was the most important thing. He really wanted to do something that had meaning. I translated that into a building that linked the ancient and the modern city."
It's a manifestation of Scheeren's ongoing desire to get away from the building as object, and think about how it frames space, and how it shapes the activities of the people who use it. His nickname in Germany, Herr der Türme, or Lord of Towers, is ironic considering his deeply equivocal relationship with the skyscraper as a building typology; a lot of his best-known projects are about specifically avoiding putting skyscrapers where they might be expected, or disrupting the traditional form of the skyscraper. There's CCTV, which he describes as "a very fundamental take on the issue of verticality and skyscrapers that pursues an idea of interconnectedness".
But there's also MahaNakhon in Bangkok, Thailand's tallest building at 314m, with its vivid spiralling diagonal slash of terraces and balconies giving it the appearance of a Lego model with some pieces missing, or a building halfway through being transformed by a CGI disintegration effect. And there's the 268m Angkasa Raya in Kuala Lumpur, a vertical reimagining of a city featuring four floors of greenery madly burped out halfway up; the forthcoming Empire City in Ho Chi Minh City is not unlike a curvier remix of the Kuala Lumpur building. Also there's The Interlace, a 170,000sqm, 1,040-apartment residential development in Singapore, which he designed for OMA, that replaces the expected skyscraper with a hexagonal grid of piled-up volumes, maximising views, providing sun protection and creating internal communal spaces that interconnect, with more green areas than the site had before it was built.

Wearable technology is on the rise, but their battery life may be leaving something to be desired.
Wearables come in many forms, ranging from high-tech glasses that literally change the way people see the world, to simple wrist watches that act as stripped down smartphones. One thing that all wearable devices, and all mobile technology in general, share is their limited battery life. Mobile devices are notoriously energy hungry depending on how they are being used and this has been a thorn in the side of many people for years.
Part of the issue has to do with the batteries that are being used to power mobile devices. Most modern devices are equipped with lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are a significant technological improvement over older batteries that had been used to charge mobile devices, but they still have limited energy capacity. Many cutting edge devices have devices whose battery life ranges from 12 to 15 hours. This is heavily dependent on how the devices are used, of course. If users are streaming media, such as videos, battery life is falls dramatically. Short battery life can be a problem for some people, and the solution to this problem could be battery packs.
Battery packs also referred to as portable chargers.
These packs contain an multiple identical batteries, which can be recharged in the same way as conventional mobile devices. The advantage of battery packs is that they can be used with ease and the batteries can be switched out with little difficulty. They also come in a variety of sizes, though mobile devices benefit from small battery packs that are portable and less cumbersome than their larger counterparts. Portable chargers themselves are quite useful to those that travel frequently, as these chargers allow them to keep their batteries charged as often as is convenient.
Battery technology has vastly improved over the past few years.
The U.S. Department of Energy notes that batteries are becoming more capable of providing the energy that people need. These batteries are becoming thinner and discharge energy at a slower rate, making them ideal for wearable devices as well as others. There are also batteries that can be charged faster than their older counterparts. These so called "fast charge" batteries only take 30 minutes to fully charge, making them an attractive option to those that have become mobile-centric.
Battery packs may not be ideal for mobile users that do not travel frequently or have much need for energy, but many are finding them quite useful regardless. Battery systems can be used for a wide variety of mobile devices, such as laptops, which makes them more versatile than conventional chargers designed for smartphones and wearable devices.

You can read to your baby from the very first week of his life. I read to my little from...
You can read to your baby from the very first week of his life. I read to my little from the time he didn't care one bit, and now, he's really into books. That said, there are readers and there are non-readers. My sister and I were both read to from an early age but only I adore books. My sis will read them, but only if she has to, for say a class. She's also not afraid of books though. The best thing is to never force your little one into books or he could end up hating them. Still, it never hurts to try and even small babies start to love books. Why though? They can't understand all the words. They certainly can't read yet. So how come young babies may get a kick out of books?
- Cuddle together time: If you're reading you're likely hanging out, holding your baby on your lap, and snuggling. All babies like a good cuddle.
- They close, they open, they close and open again - this is baby excitement. Believe it or not.
- Bright colors and neat pictures. My son particularly liked baby books with pictures of real babies.
- Books are good eating! Yeah, this one is no bonus for you. That's why it's best to start babies out on chewy board books or those soft bath books.

Welcome to our Santa Program
Thanks to the generous nature of our network of family, friends, co-workers, and their friends as we celebrate our 19th year of the Santa Program.
Our goal is to help families that have come on hard times due to our economy and not their lack of trying to make a living wage. In our efforts to help as many as possible we teamed up with Cornerstone Community Outreach because they offer shelter and services to homeless and low-income families and individuals through a variety of programs on the North-side of Chicago. An area we feel that is desperately underserved.

henrymakow.com — May 5, 2014
On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurred inside of a Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people and injuring 70 others. The sole suspect, James Eagan Holmes, was arrested outside the cinema minutes later.
There are 350,000,000 people in the US, and who is James Holmes linked to but Stewart Brand's partner David Eagleman, both men associated with MK Ultra mind control and brainwashing. What are the chances?
by David Livingstone — Aurora Shooting & MK-Ultra
Consider how all this ties together: Stewart Brand is a board member of the Long Now Foundation, along with David Eagleman, who worked with James Eagan Holmes, the infamous orange-haired Colorado shooter.
Brand, left, was a key agent of MK-Ultra, who downplayed concerns that the Cybernetics Group's plan of developing the "personal computer" was aimed at creating Big Brother, by marketing it as a tool to empower the masses.
Eagleman, for his part, is now carrying on the legacy, having recently written Why The Net Matters: How the Internet Will Save Civilization, which Brand referred to as a "breakthrough work."
But, contrary to media depictions of him, Holmes was an extremely brilliant young man, before something went horribly wrong, after he became interested in studying neuroscience, a field closely associated with mind control.
In the video above, Holmes summarizes the work he did at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif., where he attended the eight-week summer camp when he was eighteen. This is where David Eagleman used to work. Holmes focused on the study of Reversal of Temporal Order Judgment, a subject which Eagleman specializes in.
Who is David Eagleman? He is a neuro-scientist and writer at Baylor College of Medicine. He is a Guggenheim Fellow, a council member in the World Economic Forum, and a New York Times bestselling author published in 27 languages. Eagleman has written for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Discover, Slate, The Atlantic, Wired, and been profiled on television programs as The Colbert Report and on the scientific program Nova Science Now. Stewart Brand wrote that "David Eagleman may be the best combination of scientist and fiction-writer alive."[1]
Eagleman is particularly interested in people's subjective interpretations of reality. His leitmotif seems to be to prove that virtual reality, subjective reality and reality are the same thing. For example, numerous experimental findings suggest that people's perception of time can be manipulated by repeated exposure to non-simultaneous stimuli. In an experiment conducted by Eagleman, a temporal order judgment reversal was induced in subjects by exposing them to delayed motor consequences. Eagleman writes that his long-range goal is "to understand how neural signals processed by different brain regions come together for a temporally unified picture of the world."[2]

Laing, Samuel (DNB00)
LAING, SAMUEL (1780–1868), author and traveller, younger brother of Malcolm Laing [q. v.], born at Kirkwall, Orkney, on 4 Oct. 1780, was educated at Kirkwall grammar school and the university of Edinburgh. Leaving the university without a degree about 1800, he spent eighteen months at Kiel in Schleswig-Holstein, studying German. In 1805 he entered the army as an ensign in the staff corps stationed at Hythe, with which he saw service under Sir Arthur Wellesley and Sir John Moore in the Peninsular war. Returning to England after the battle of Corunna (16 Jan. 1809), he retired from the army, and through his brother's influence obtained employment as a manager of mines at Wanlockhead, in the south of Scotland. In 1818 he returned to Orkney to organise for a London firm the herring fishery on the coasts of the island, an enterprise in which he was completely successful. His brother dying the same year, he succeeded to his heavily encumbered estates, resided at Kirkwall, of which he was for some years provost, and engaged in the kelp trade. At the general election of 1832–3 he unsuccessfully contested Orkney and Shetland as a radical against the whig candidate, George Traill, and publicly accused Jeffrey, then lord advocate, of interfering with the freedom of election in Traill's interest (Address to the Electors of Scotland by Samuel Laing of Papdale, Edinburgh, 1833, 8vo). Reduced to comparative poverty by the failure of kelp, which ruined so many of the west highland and island proprietors, he left Orkney in 1834, and travelled in Norway and Sweden, studying the economic and social condition of the inhabitants. The results of his observations he gave to the world in two works which were much read, not only by the general public, but by economists and political thinkers. These were—(1) 'Journal of a Residence in Norway during the years 1834, 1835, and 1836, made with a view to inquire into the Moral and Political Economy of that Country and the Condition of its Inhabitants,' London, 1836, 8vo; and (2) 'A Tour in Sweden in 1838: comprising Observations on the Moral, Political, and Economical State of the Swedish Nation,' London, 1839, 8vo. The former work was little less than an unqualified panegyric upon Norway, whose free, industrious, and enterprising peasant proprietors Laing, a strong and somewhat doctrinaire radical of the old school, painted as patterns of native virtue; in the latter he denounced the union of Sweden and Norway as a flagitious act, inveighed against the privileged nobility and priesthood of Sweden as destitute alike of public spirit and private virtue, and denounced the entire nation as the most immoral in Europe. This elicited from Count Björnstjerna, Swedish ambassador at the British court, a pamphlet 'On the Moral State and Political Union of Sweden and Norway, in Answer to Mr. Laing's Statement,' London, 1840, 8vo, to which Laing published a trenchant rejoinder in the 'Monthly Chronicle,' reprinted in the preface to his next work, 'Notes of a Traveller on the Social and Political State of France, Russia, Switzerland, Italy, and other parts of Europe during the Present Century,' London, 1842, 8vo; 2nd edition the same year. About half of this book is devoted to Prussia, whose system of 'functionarism' Laing severely criticised, prophesying the success of the French in the next war. A German translation of this part, by Adolph Heller, appeared in 'Preussen der Beamtenstaat in seiner politischen Entwickelung und seinen social-ökonomischen Zuständen. Dargestellt durch Benjamin Constant und Samuel Laing,' Mannheim, 1844, 8vo. The whole was reprinted between 1851 and 1854, with the 'Residence in Norway,' in the 'Traveller's Library,' vol. iii. London, 8vo.
Laing's most considerable work was a translation of the Icelandic chronicle known as the 'Heimskringla,' published as 'The Heimskringla, or Chronicle of the Kings of Norway, translated from the Icelandic of Snorro Sturleson, with a preliminary Dissertation,' London, 1844, 3 vols. 8vo. The 'Dissertation' undoubtedly exhibits less judgment than enthusiasm, and the translation is more vigorous than accurate, but is interesting as a first attempt to familiarise Englishmen with the life, beliefs, and achievements of their Viking ancestors, and was the principal source of Carlyle's 'Early Kings of Norway.' A revised edition by Rasmus B. Anderson, LL.D., United States minister to Denmark, appeared in London, 1889, 4 vols. crown 8vo. The ferment caused at home by the Maynooth grant, and abroad by the pilgrimage to Trèves in 1844, elicited from Laing, who was opposed to the grant, 'Notes on the Rise, Progress, and Prospects of the Schism from the Church of Rome called the German Catholic Church, instituted by Johannes Ronge and I. Czerzki in 1844, on occasion of the Pilgrimage to the Holy Coat at Trèves,' London, 1845, 8vo (reviewed by W. R. Greg [q. v.] in a pamphlet entitled 'The German Schism and the Irish Priests'). Resuming his travels on the continent, Laing published a second and third series of 'Notes of a Traveller,' entitled 'Observations on the Social and Political State of the European People in 1848 and 1849,' London, 1850, 8vo, and 'Observations on the Social and Political State of Denmark and the Duchies of Sleswick and Holstein in 1851,' London, 1852, 8vo. In the former of these works he showed an appreciation of the better sides of some English institutions, and of the disadvantages of peasant proprietorship, and was reproached with inconsistency by J. S. Mill, who had founded part of his argument in favour of that mode of land tenure upon Laing's 'Residence in Norway' (see J. S. Mill, Political Economy, 6th ed. book II. chap. vi. § 3, and chap. vii. § 5 note). The same tendency towards conservatism is equally marked in the work on 'Denmark and the Duchies.' For the rest of his life Laing resided principally in Edinburgh, where he died at the house of his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Baxter, on 23 April 1868. He was buried in the Dean cemetery.
Laing married, in March 1809, Agnes, daughter of Captain Francis Kelly of Kelly, Devonshire. By her, who died in November 1812, he had issue the daughter above mentioned and a son, Samuel, formerly M.P. for Orkney, both of whom still live.

Mobile phone users may think that pay-as-you-go is a thing of the past: a relic from the earlier days of cellular devices when phones were basic but tough as bricks.
However, that's really not the case at all. In fact, pay-as-you-go is more flexible than it ever has been, meaning that finding a deal that's right for you has never been easier. Do you prefer having shorter contracts with less commitment than the standard 24 months? Do you have an unlocked phone and don't want to be tied down to a more traditional contract? Hoppy is here to make sure you get the very best SIM only deal.
So, how exactly has pay-as-you-go changed for the best over the years, and what options are available?
First off, there's the traditional SIM only deals, the most straightforward pay-as-you-go options that are pretty much exactly what they sound like: you top up with credit and then use that credit on phone calls, texts and data usage. Top providers, such as O2 or Three, can charge mere pennies for a minute of talk time and texts, while more expensive providers, like Asda Mobile, can cost significantly more.
While this is more expensive than some mobile options, it is ideal for those who want maximum flexibility and don't want to be tied into any long-term commitments. There's not much difference between deals in terms of what's offered here, with the exception of internet speeds, so this is as simple as comparing price for price, which is exactly what Hoppy is great at.
There are also the hybrid pay as you go SIM deals which might be best described as 'pay before you go', as you pay for a bundle, including a set number of minutes, texts and data.
Hybrid pay-as-you-go SIM deals offer more options in terms of tailoring the deal to what you want. You can get different internet speeds, pay less for fewer minutes or less data, and do all this on the exact phone model you want - in some cases, without a contract.
For example, at the cheaper end, Giffgaff offers 150 minutes, 500 texts and 100Mb of data for £5 a month with no contract. Alternatively, you can spend a little more with the same company and get unlimited minutes, texts and 6GB of data for just £15.
How Hoppy can help
We've got plenty of options! There's EE SIM only deals, O2 SIM only deals and Three SIM only deals, to name but a few. Across all the different pay-as-you-go options, there's actually an incredible amount of possibilities. Trying to compare all the details of every deal out there is unbelievably time consuming, and there's no reason you should ever settle for less than the absolute best deal for you.
Hoppy does the hard work, meaning you can get all the information you need in a matter of minutes. Get the right deal at the best price with us.

Have you considered that the Uranus-Pluto square is also taking place during the current Fukushima crisis?
Pluto is also associated with radioactivity, and Uranus is the sudden smashing and transformation of outdated established structures and also signifies catastrophes and sudden changes.
Tepco are going to try and remove the nuclear fuel rods from the damaged storage building within the next month. Which is close to the next exact square between Uranus-Pluto. I hope I am wrong about this.
Another good article, Mr Goddard! Keep it up. A footnote...
With mega aspects such as this, we must also remember that they set in motion processes that take a while to integrate - decades if not longer. Example: on the Ura-Nep conjunction of 1993 the public internet was born, yet it took about ten years to come into common use and it, and the effects it has on the world, is still very much evolving. Similarly, ideas that dawned in the 60s on the Ura-Plu conjunction are still very much evolving. This, not least because humanity has a way of resisting change even when such change might be the best thing. So now we're looking at the Arab revolutions (the equivalent of the West's 1960s in the Middle East, with possibly similar outcomes) and tectonic shifts in international relations and economics, plus the elephants in the room, eco-climatic issues, population and migration, and so on.
So, apart from the detectable events we're obliged to lift the carpet and look beneath at the shifts emerging which might right now seem insignificant (like Internet in 1993 or perhaps feminism in 1965). Tricky - and how to peel apart the wheat from the chaff? I would suggest for example that we're seeing the death of nations right now - though this might develop after the Ura-Plu square passes. Because Ura-Plu is not just about change and revolutions, it's also about conservatism and resistance.
Best wishes, Palden.
Actually, most people are blaming both parties for being buttheads. Like many other people, I see very little difference between the intransigent and egocentric stubbornness of Harry Reid and the silly whimpering of John Boehner.
In general, people who see this nonsense going on are asking "If we can teach our children to compromise, why can't these 'adults' do the same thing?" and they are not doing that along party lines. It's universal.
This is going to be a rough ride for a few more years, so you either make the most of it and become independent, or you sink into the morass and get lost in it.
This time around, it's far more public than it was in the 1990s, thanks to the internet. Those who govern are almost forced to look at the 'in your face' responses from their public. Now there is talk of term limits for Senators and Representatives.
I can say 'Buckle your seatbelts. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.'
I can't take your political analyses too seriously because you dont seem to factor in things like the global deregulation of financial markets pushed through the world trade association by the big five banks (and accepted by all nations bar one as you must know). This is the force responsible for the crisis in east and south europe among others. It seens pointless to examine the effects without pinpointing the causes then we wont feel the bumbs so much
It's actually a nice and helpful piece of information. I am satisfied that you simply shared this useful information with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.Love Back Vashikaran Specialist

Learning Disabilities
A recent study suggests that babies born before 26 weeks' gestation have a high prevalence of neurological and developmental disabilities by the time they reach age 6.
More than 240 school-age children from the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland who were born prematurely in 1995 were studied between Jan. 2001 and July 2003. Researchers found that 41 percent of those children had some form of cognitive impairment, with 22 percent demonstrating severe learning disabilities by age 6.
The study was published in the January 6, 2005 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Consistent Life Pro-Peace/Pro-Life Harmony Pilot Project
October 23rd, 2009
Consistent Life is trying to promote dialog among pro-life groups with materials to encourage discussion and mutual understanding.
Do you know of groups in the same campus, denomination, or community that define themselves as either pro-peace or pro-life, but might be willing to dialog with each other? Consistent Life's emphasis on how the issues are connected and on cooperation of violence-opposing groups offers a prime opportunity to change the destructive right/left dynamics of these debates. The organization is offering a PowerPoint presentation designed for joint meetings of such groups to encourage discussion.
Consistent Life says: "Before launching this as a program, complete with a manual with good advice on what experience has shown, we need to have experience to know what experience has shown. Anyone who might like to organize a session with appropriate local peace & life groups to help us develop this program, please contact project coordinator Rachel MacNair directly at email@example.com or by calling (816)753-2057, Central Time Zone.

Title: Little Monsters
Author: Kara Thomas
Series: Stand Alone
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Publication Date: July 25, 2017
Source: Publisher
I read Kara Thomas' other book The Darkest Corners and was completely blown away (check out my review for it HERE) so I knew I had to read Little Monsters.
But I was afraid.
I was afraid I was hyping it up too much in my mind and that I was going to end up being bitterly disappointed in what I found between the covers of the book. I was afraid that there was no waqy that Kara Thomas could live up to my very high expectations that I know have of her thanks to The Darkest Corners.
Eventually I did manage to put my fears aside and read the book (how else would I be writing this review...I am the queen of the obvious right now I guess..) and OMG.
In Little Monsters we have our cast of characters with our main one being Kacey. Kacey is a bit newer to her tiny town. However, she has made friends with a couple of other girls - Bailey and Jade - and they have been more or less inseparable. Then one day, for reasons Kacey isn't quite sure of, her friends have cut her out. She is expecting them to force her to go to a party she doesn't really want to go to, but they never call or come to pick her up.
Did she do something at their failed sceance the night before to make them mad? Was it because her little sister ended up tagging along? She cannot help, but wonder what it is she did and they aren't telling her. But Kasey doesn't get to ask them because Bailey never gets home from that party....instead she goes missing.
Then things unravel. Things are learned about the truth of each of the girls involved. And it really is just a mess.
An incredible well plotted out mess. Kara Thomas is a master at twisting her plot this way and that. You never quite know where she is going to take her story. For awhile she will cause you to think A, and then something happens and you are thinking B.... And then all of a sudden you are on D....and back to A. It is intense and wonderful and such a fantastic ride the whole way through!
Honestly, I am still kinda tripped out by a bit in the end. And I really hope Kara revisits these characters at some point. I think she could really have another story in there some where for us. Maybe not with Kacey as the focal point, but I wouldn't mind it at all.
Filled with amazing plot twists that will keep you on your toes, Kara Thomas delivers us a fantastic second novel. She has proven to me that she is not a one trick pony and I anxiously await her next book!
