Since the beginning of history, humans have tried to reach the skies.
Living in big houses was associated with being at the top of the social hierarchy.
Even considering the ancient worlds of the Egyptian pharaohs, they thought "the higher, the better."
If you look up before at one of those iconic, landmark tower structures, you understand how amazing they can be!
The craze for tall towers started from Petronas Towers Kuala Lumpur Malaysia during the latter 90s and continues to this day.
You may have the tallest completed buildings on this list before, like Burj Khalifa, but it will amaze you to know about others.
Here's where you can discover these skyscrapers for all their wonderful uniqueness.
These spectacular and high structures yet are proof of how far the techniques of civil engineering have gone.
According to Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, the following is the list for the top 10 tallest buildings in the world 2021:
10. Tapei 101, Taiwan – 1,667 feet
Taipei 101 has 101 floors, as its name suggests & once held the title of the tallest building in the world before our top ranker 1,667 ft tall.
When it was built in 2004, Taipei 101 created headlines as its layout was innovative for its earthquake-resistant damper technology.
From 2004 to 2010, it was considered the tallest skyscraper in the world until another building on this list surpassed its position.
We well know Taipei 101 for its distinctive green-blue hue, an illustration of postmodern architecture.
Its high-speed lifts can bring a passenger in just 37 seconds from the 5th to the 89th floor.
While the building includes offices and hotels, it also includes plenty of observatories for visitors to gaze out of, including one at the very top.
It also has lovely shows of fireworks every year on New Year's Eve.
9. China Zun, China – 1,733 Feet
CITIC Tower (China Zun) is located in the Central Business District of Beijing, China.
Although it recently finished its construction in 2018, this tower is already sufficiently tall to make it on this list.
In 2016, the tower became the highest construction in Beijing, and in 2018 building's ultimate full height was reached at 1,739 feet or 528 meters.
The tower is meant to be the center of Beijing's Central Business District. The CITIC Group is developing the structure.
Unfortunately, some tweaks still need to be created, and the building will be accessible to visitors from 2019.
It contains offices, luxury homes, a shopping mall, restaurants, and a rooftop garden.
7. Tianjin CTF Finance Centre , China – 1,739 feet
These two structures together rank as the 7th-tallest structures in the world because of the same height. ⠀ One is located in Guangzhou, China, and another one is in Tianjin. Both of them have an almost similar height of 530 meters or 1739 feet.
The construction in Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre tower was officially finished in 2016 while they completed the construction of the Tianjin CTF Finance Centre in 2019.
In the Guangzhou Tower, which is also identified as the East Tower, there is a shopping center, offices, flats, and a luxury hotel. It also has the fastest lifts worldwide that can reach a vertical speed of up to 45 mph. The CTF in the names of the buildings represents Chow Tai Fook since it is owned by Chow Tai Fook Enterprises.
Tianjin CTF Finance Center is a super-tall skyscraper located in Tianjin, China.
The structure refracts sunlight that displays various hues throughout the day, and the top of the inclined tower will gleam like a diamond at night.
7. Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre, China – 1,739 feet
Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre is a tall mixed-use skyscraper that was completed in October 2016 in Guangzhou, Guangdong.
The Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre comprises a shopping mall, offices, flats, and a hotel on its 111 above-ground and five below-ground stories.
The mixed-use nature of the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre defines its shape: different users necessitate varying floor sizes, and the building is built to meet those needs.
6. One World Trade Center, United States – 1,776 feet
The tallest building in the US and the entire western hemisphere is the World Trade Center, with 1,776 feet and 104 floors.
Before it, Willis tower or Sears tower located in Chicago was the titleholder.
The final construction was completed in 2014, and its name comes from the former North Tower of the World Trade Center.
It was built to commemorate the terrorist attacks of 9/11, with respect to honoring those who lost their lives on that day.
Its energy expenditure mostly depends on renewable sources, including rainwater reuse, for this, we appreciate the building.
It also serves as a symbol of America's determination, as during construction, people called it "Freedom Tower."
5. Lotte World Tower, South Korea – 1,819 Feet
Lotte World Tower is a multi-facility supertall skyscraper located in Seoul, South Korea.
It completed its construction in 2016, stands at 1,819 ft tall.
There's even more to the building as six of its 123 floors are underground, which you can't see at first.
Lotte World Tower includes retail stores, offices, apartments, a luxurious 7-star hotel, and an observation deck that took 13 years to schedule before placing it in operation.
For visitors who travel in and look out the view, there are also restaurants, cafes, and photo areas.
The tower is built in a unique architectural design to resist earthquakes on the Richter scale of up to 9 magnitudes.
4. Ping An International Finance Centre, China – 1,965 Feet
The Ping An International Finance Centre is 1,965 feet (0.6 km) high in Shenzhen, China.
The main contractor, CSCEC completed its complete construction in 2017;
There is a conference center, a hotel, and several high-end retail areas at the Ping An International Finance Centre.
It's also as per its namesake's headquarters of Ping An Insurance.
There is a total of 33 fast double Decker elevators to move around its 115 floors.
American architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates provided architectural design, and Thornton Tomasetti handled structural design.
Originally, the building designs called for including an antenna. But designers eventually called this plan off because of concerns about flight interference.
This building has one of the world's two highest observation platforms, 562 meters high, for those who enjoy observing from the heights.
3. Makkah Royal Clock Tower, Saudi Arabia – 1,972 Feet
You might also know this building as Mecca's Abraj AlBait or Jeddah Tower which is located in Saudi Arabia.
This building has plenty of inside amenities like a meeting center, an Islamic museum.
There are two prayer halls, a shopping mall, a Lunar Observation Center and a living place for 10,000 people.
Also, Its clock has the biggest clock face in the world.
The Saudi Binladin Group, which is the largest construction firm in Saudi Arabia, constructed the Abraj Al-Bait.
2. Shanghai Tower, China – 2,073 Feet
The Shanghai Tower, which stands at 2,073 feet or 632 meters, is the second-highest building in the world.
It also has elevators recognized as the world's second fastest-moving elevator. Particularly acknowledged for the building's "twist," it gives the tower a funky and interesting look.
Inside there are offices, a restaurant, shops, cafes, and parks, and there are also observation decks.
As windows that are created with double-glass and nine main sections that contain a small atrium with panoramic views throughout the skyscraper, you can functionally get an amazing view on each floor.
Gensler, an American architecture firm, designed this building. Its original aim was to function for hotels and offices.
1. Burj Khalifa, United Arab Emirates – 2,717 Feet
Dubai's Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world 2021 with a height of 2,717 ft (0.83 km).
Its Architectures intended the design primarily from steel and concrete by the same engineers who were in charge of other famous Supertalls such as the Willis Tower in Chicago and One World Trade Center in New York City.
The construction of the building, finished in 2010, was a component of an effort by the United Arab Emirates government to change the economy of the country from one based only on oil to more tourism and service-based country.
Burj Khalifa has 19 residential towers with 30,000 residences, nine restaurants, shopping malls, and an artificial lake.
Burj Khalifa has 163 floors making it as highest floor building in the world.
On the north side of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Jeddah Tower, formerly known as the Kingdom Tower, is a skyscraper on hold.
They plan it to be the first 1 km high building in the world and will surpass Burj-Khalifa as the tallest skyscraper in the world but currently; it is in the development phase.
At the same time, there is the Dubai creek tower (1300m+ height), which will be the tallest tower in the world in the future.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked civil servants to make the best of innovation and technology in implementing government policies.
He also said that participatory democracy is a must for the development of the nation.
Addressing bureaucrats at the conclusion of the two-day Civil Services Day function, the prime minister said the administration's aim in the pre-Independence era was to keep the Englishman safe, but today it has to ensure that a common man is provided relief.
He stressed the need for strategic thinking in implementing government policies, and also asked bureaucrats to put to use innovation and technology which can become additional strength.

He said "Janbhagidari" (people's participation) is a cornerstone of the success of a country such as India.
The prime minister said priority should be given to people's interests during formulation of policies or new laws.
Earlier, he released two books — "New Pathways", a compilation of success stories on implementation of identified Priority Programmes and Innovations and "Aspirational Districts: Unlocking Potentials" — an account of strategies for transforming aspirational districts.
He also conferred "Awards for Excellence in Public Administration" for effective implementation of identified Priority Programs and Innovation to districts and implementing units, and other central and state organisations at the function.
The awards have been instituted to acknowledge, recognize and reward the exemplary work for people's welfare by districts and organisations of the central and state governments.
"Motivation is always essential for better performance," the prime minister said after giving away the awards to civil servants.

Impact of a Smile Makeover from Your San Antonio Dentist
September 24, 2016
Cosmetic dentistry changes people's appearance and outlook. Dr. Christopher J. Holland and Dr. S. Jade Wylie at New Image Dentistry use superior treatments to produce smiles that function well and look beautiful, too. Investigate a smile makeover at their San Antonio office.
Worries about Smiles
Studies from Kelton Research maintain that American adults feel nice smiles make positive impressions. In fact, we all tend to like people with bright, straight smiles. So, smile aesthetics impact relationships, first impressions and career advancement, as well as self-esteem. What concerns you about the appearance of your teeth and gums?
With a smile makeover, you can take control of your smile. As one of America's Top Dentists (Consumer Research Council of America), Dr. Holland and his professional team can show you several methods to improve aesthetics. They reshape teeth and gums for age-appropriate and naturally-complementary:
- Tooth color and configuration
- Alignment
- Smile line, or how the bottom of top teeth fit with the lower lip
- Overall appearance
- Elimination of defects such as chips, hairline cracks, gaps and pitting
San Antonio Smile Makeovers Start with a Consultation
The dentist ensures the patient's oral health is good before addressing any aesthetic problems If problems exist, he restores them with treatments such as tooth-colored fillings, porcelain crowns, inlays and onlays, root canal therapy, periodontal treatments, dental implants, and implant-supported prosthetics as necessary. The cosmetic portion of a smile makeover involves incorporating the dentist's findings and the patient's goals. The dentist uses one or more treatments to improve appearance and may preview the finished smile with computer imaging or a wax-model.
Treatments are state of the art, comfortable and successful. Below are just some of the innovations at New Image Dentistry.
Porcelain veneers Porcelain veneers cover the front side of healthy teeth that have cosmetic defects such as stubborn stains, chips, cracks, gaps and mild crowding. These thin shells of ceramic confer a naturally beautiful appearance The dentist needs two to three visits to complete porcelain veneers, but once placed, they last for years as patients brush, floss and get their semi-annual care at New Image Dentistry.
Professional teeth whitening Zoom2 teeth whitening uses concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel to eliminate stains caused by food, beverages, smoking, age and other factors. Safe for gums and tooth enamel, Zoom2 whitening improves tooth color by as many as six to ten shades. The team offers an at-home version, too. Check out the free whitening offer!
Invisalign clear aligners Repair oral health and appearance with Invisalign clear braces. Biocompatible, custom-made aligners straighten mild to moderate orthodontic problems faster than traditional braces. Because aligners are removable, oral hygiene and meals are easy. Treatment with Invisalign takes as little as 9 to 18 months–about half the time of metal braces. Dr. Holland is a preferred Invisalign provider.
Tooth-colored fillings Using a durable combination of acrylic and glass, the dentist fills small chips, cracks and gaps, and restores cavities for a seamless new look. Gone are the days of ugly metal fillings!

Your new smile will be an outstanding personal asset. Find out how a cosmetic smile makeover can impact your life. Contact New Image Dentistry to schedule a consultation.

This may seem obvious to many of you, but we didn't think much about it. Christian was raised in the country and said he drank fresh milk a lot. He didn't remember if his mother boiled it or not so we have been drinking fresh milk for a few months now. And also having stomach bugs and bacterial infections but until recently didn't really put two and two together! I started suspecting the fresh milk being the culprit but it still took a few weeks of drinking it before I asked Dr. Nelson if we should be boiling it and if that may be why we have been having stomach problems. The answer was an emphatic yes! Okay, I am ready to boil the next pitcher of milk that comes but instead of milk I was delivered the news that the cow is dead and we will not be receiving free milk any longer. Hmmm, not really sure why the cow is dead but now we are back to buying milk in a box off the shelf. (Christian and I don't drink that but Raelee doesn't seem to mind it) Until we find someone else with a cow. And I will boil the milk!

You can find lots of articles describing the technical aspects of testing. However, you can hardly find so much info on general principles and approaches to such work, though, knowing them, you can significantly improve testing process efficiency and final results.
In this article, I have decided to explain the basic principles of effective software quality testing which I learned based on my experience and communication with other specialists in this field.
Some of them may seem obvious, however, just because of that, they are often neglected in practice. Taking these recommendations into account and adhering to them, you can significantly increase workflow efficiency.
1. Break the app into parts. There are no trifles. Study the app thoroughly from the exit button to the dead last function. You have to know the principles and dependencies of all interconnected modules. This is environment testing, which allows you to identify a huge number of bugs that will certainly become client-side when omitted.

2. Think like the end-user. Act as if you were the end-user. Do not forget that people who are absolutely a far cry from IT and with a completely different work style may use your software. Check what the user can change, what access rights can be set, and what these rights can theoretically allow "braking" in the app.
3. Think broad. Remember that your software does not live its life in a vacuum on a separate clean computer or smartphone, study competitors, if possible. Probably, something non-obvious will become more clearly visible to you from the outside just because you have studied someone else's app functionality. Besides, you may be able to offer some unique useful function in your app.
4. Write down all vulnerabilities. Do it even if you cannot unambiguously attribute them to bugs. Such spots can often cause errors in your app. You will have your own reference book describing your experience, and you will open it every time you have some supplement to make while testing the next version.
5. If you can apply a load — do it. The load includes not only, for example, mass calls or connections but also situations with a lot of data, several users, etc. Ask your fellow workers for help. Enter more test data, add multimedia, if necessary.
6. Study OS and programming languages. Even if you cannot write a decent and more or less complex block of code, you will anyway be able to understand app architecture much better, anticipate points where issues may arise, and comprehend what are their reasons.
7. Study and review the documentation. Documentation is that part of software which is also tested. If you have not come across such a case yet, do not thrill to it, but on the contrary, make sure to read the documentation of the software you are testing — you will see new opportunities for working with software there, and perhaps, you will come across some inconsistencies or even overt errors.
8. Interact with the team. The quality of any product depends on each person who has been involved in developing it. High-quality software is well designed, well thought over, well documented and tested. Involve your fellow workers in the testing process. Ask them for advice because developers and managers are the indispensable sources of user experience and professional expertise.
9. The earlier, the better. The closer the software comes to the release stage, the more expensive it will be to fix a defect. To find defects as early as possible, you have to start testing procedures in the earliest stages of software development.
10. Consider the context and product features. The testing process and objectives will vary, depending on the project context and type. For instance, security plays a critical role in one product, usability in another, etc. Therefore, it is a bad idea to work with all projects, using some versatile template.
Testing involves knowledge, responsibility, and a bit of luck. Hope this article will be useful to you!

Creating batch claims is an efficient way to get your billing done. Batch claims allow you to include up to six appointments for a single client on one claim. Batch claim filing is highly recommended to save you time and money.
In this guide, we'll cover:
- How to create batch claims
- Missing information when a batch claim isn't created
- Removing appointments from the Unbilled appointments list
Note: The Unbilled appointments tab lists all appointments for clients whose billing type is set to Insurance and aren't yet included on a claim. Appointments set to Self-Pay aren't included.
How to create batch claims
A batch claim is any claim that includes more than one appointment, with six appointments being the maximum amount that can be included. To create a batch claim:
- Navigate to Insurance > Unbilled appointments
- On the Unbilled appointments page, you'll see a list of all billable insurance appointments that haven't been included on a CMS 1500 (HCFA) form within the selected date range
Tip: The date range in the Unbilled appointments tab defaults to the last 30 days. If the appointment you're looking for isn't listed, try expanding the date range.
- Click the arrow to view all appointments for a client within the selected date range
- Expanding a client's appointments will reveal the appointment date(s), CPT code, modifier, Place of Service code, and billed amount
- You can filter your search using the Insurance Payers, Clinicians, or Note Statuses filters to further specify which appointment(s) you're looking for
- The Notes Status filter searches for appointments with locked notes, no notes, or unlocked notes
- The Supervision filter shows any appointments that have a note signed by a clinician under supervision, but isn't yet signed by their supervisor. Once a note is signed by a supervisor, it will fall under the locked notes filter
- If there are multiple appointments for a client, use the checkmarks in the expanded appointment details to select which ones you're including on the batch claim. Unchecking a box means that the appointment won't be included on the batch claim
Note: You can include up to six appointments/services codes on a single claim. If more than six are selected for a client, multiple claims will be generated. For more information, see Billing insurance with multiple service codes.
- Click Create > Create claims to create a batch of claims for all the clients selected on this page
Important: Clicking Create claims will create claims for all appointments on this page, but will not submit the claims. When a claim is created, the appointment(s) are removed from the Unbilled appointments list. All created claims can be found under the Claims tab and will be in the Prepared status. Review, edit, and file these batch claims just as you would any other claim. You can read more about filing claims here: Filing primary claims in SimplePractice.
- Click Create > Create and submit claims to submit the claims directly from the Unbilled appointments tab
- Click Create and submit claims to confirm the action
Note: If one client has more than six unbilled appointments (the maximum amount allowed on a CMS 1500 claim form), multiple CMS claim forms will be generated to accommodate all of the billable appointments. If a client has unbilled appointments from two or more years, multiple CMS claim forms will be generated for each year since insurance payers will only process claims with dates of service from the same year.
Missing information when a batch claim isn't created
If a claim isn't generated for an individual client when you click Create claims, it means that they're missing required information in their file. You'll see what information is missing by hovering over the orange exclamation point next to a client's name.
Clicking Add Missing Info will take you to the client's Client Info tab to enter the required information.
Note: To learn about the minimum field requirements to create a claim, see: The minimum information required to create a claim.
Removing appointments from the Unbilled appointments list
If you've filed claims outside of SimplePractice, these appointments will still appear on the Unbilled appointments list because they're set to Insurance as their billing type. You can remove the appointments from this list by creating a claim. You don't need to submit the created claim since you've already submitted it outside of SimplePractice.
To remove insurance appointments from the Unbilled appointments list:
- Navigate to the client's Billing page
- Select the date range to isolate the appointments you'd like to remove from the Unbilled appointments list, and click Apply
- Click New > Claim/CMS1500
Important: You don't need to submit the claim here because you've already submitted the claim to the payer outside of SimplePractice
- Open the claim
- Click the download icon to move the claim from Prepared to Downloaded
Moving the claim to the Downloaded status will remove it from the Unbilled appointments tab, so you'll no longer be prompted to create a claim for the appointment(s) in question.
If you've received an Explanation of Benefits from the payer for the claim(s) you've submitted outside of SimplePractice, you can manually add the insurance payment for the dates of service, and the Prepared status will update to Paid.

I have the espadrilles, the circle bag, the lipstick...and only spent around $90! I really want the cap toe flats and the off the shoulder blouse, so I will be buying those next!
What are some of your favorite trends and what else would you like to see me share with you?

… It sets a conscious start to the lesson in coming together by singing. Closing a lesson with a song is saying "Thank you" and it makes it a whole from the beginning to the end. In doing so, songs may help to give your lesson a reliable structure, and something the children look forward to.
Next to that, singing trains speech abilities with the greatest of ease, and children learn new words playfully and in their original context!
They practise their pronunciation, and children with a low self confidence in their own language abilities are being carried by the chorus. Such, every child in class gets a chance to speak, respectively to sing, by singing many sentences in a row. Each child perceives his/her own voice within the chorus. This strengthens the courage to speak and express oneself within the foreign language!….
I have noticed an immense increase of speech abilities in the classes I sing English songs with. Every time I introduce a new song, I make it a listening comprehension.
Let these songs accompany you in class, on celebrations and fairs, on special events and in everyday life and around the year in our seasonal fairs!
All the songs have the character of a mantrum, which means, they can be repeated many times. They are easy to play and sing and are being picked up instantly.
I have originally accompanied these songs by guitar. However, please feel inspired to accompany them with various instruments, such as drums or rattles and create your own version of it!

Narrative review: Furosemide for Hypercalcemia: An Unproven yet Common Practice
LeGrand et al. Annals of Internal Medicine 2008; 149 (4): 259-263
1.- Bisphosphonates have supplanted all other drugs except corticosteroids for hypercalcemia of multiple myeloma (Body JJ. Current and future directions in medical therapy: hypercalcemia. Cancer. 2000;88:3054-8)
2.- The use of loop diuretics should be restricted to those patients who are in danger of fluid overload. Loop diuretics are not very effective in promoting significant renal calcium excretion, and may provoke volume depletion when used in patients whose volume deficit has not been reversed and who are not fully rehydrated (Mundy GR, Guise TA. Hypercalcemia of malignancy. Am J Med. 1997;103:134-45)
3.- Today, IV [intravenous] bisphosphonates are the standard therapy for hypercalcemia of malignancy (Pecherstorfer M, Brenner K, Zojer N. Current management strategies for hypercalcemia. Treat Endocrinol. 2003;2:273-92)

There is, to the best of my knowledge, absolutely no risk of being
eaten by a tiger on Box Hill, but that is not to say it is wholly
without its dangers. It's not just your knackers that risk cracking,
your bones and skull are definitely up for the crack too. As is your
sanity on a day like today...
Unfortunately, the National Trust have decided that they don't like
us parking at the top for the start, after deciding they didn't like
us starting at the bottom, so this year it's a bit of an experiment.
Parking is now at Denbies, a good ten minutes' jog from the new
starting point alongside the River Mole in Burford Meadow, and a
fair old trek back from the finish, which remains at the old fort
near the visitor centre.
The procession begins.
Oops! Gaz has spotted me discreetly snapping him. As always, I have
carefully dressed to blend seamlessly into the background, and for
once, I thought I might have found the right background.
Our band of merry adventurers hit the highway. Amanda and an elf are
actually sharing the lead at this point. Passing drivers and
cyclists shout encouragement and it seems that everyone rather
enjoys this new way of starting.
"Fancy dressing?"
"No, I don't think I do."
Steve Winder has come as the unholy love child of Vladimir Putin and
a Bunny Girl.
I realise I'm on the wrong side for Amanda at the start (entirely my
own fault), but I manage to catch her through the mob.
This year, I'm not taking my bike or the car, but plan to visit some
areas that are really only accessible on foot. This will be the
first time I've done this, so I'm not sure exactly how it will work
out, but the next stop is the bottom of the Burford slope. They've
got to run four or five times the distance, mostly vertically
upwards, so I shouldn't have any trouble getting there first, but
afterwards, we shall see.
Steve is over the hill. Literally speaking, of course, not
metaphorically, and I'm of the generation that doesn't use the word
'literally' to mean 'metaphorically'.
Another thing that's changed: when I was at school, a maths teacher
only pranced around half-naked in front of his ...special...
pupils. Nowadays I guess we have to be more inclusive.
First lady is wearing a DIY cape. Remember this for a moment.
Her other half is wearing the exact same cape, but it seems the
finer details of such a complex garment are beyond him.
Ah, looks like Plato and Socrates discussing Zeno's Paradoxes of
Motion. As is well known, before you can finish the Knacker Cracker,
you have to get to the halfway point. But before you can get to the
halfway point, you have to get halfway to that - ie, the
quarter-way point. But before you can get a quarter of the way, you
have to get an eighth of the way, and so forth, forever! Logically,
therefore, you can never finish the race, or even get started,
because however little distance you travel, you have to have
travelled a shorter distance first.
Tom Stoppard famously concluded that because of this, an arrow could
not reach its target and Saint Sebastian died of fright, but that's
another story.
And amongst the throng of fools on the hill, we spy Amanda.
Momentarily eclipsed by Elf'n'Safety, all we can see of her is her
hair and her stick.
Sometimes you take the dog for a run, and sometimes you take the dog
for a run. This chap is doing both. The effort will be rewarded by a
fancy dress prize later, as will the chickens and eggs, of whom we
here see two in hot pursuit.
Why are this woman's breasts staring at me?
"We are the Fancy Dress Champions my friends!" One of the Freddies
will later break free, but not the one who wants to.
And a special Bah Humbug to Christina, now the only person who has
run every single Knacker Cracker ever. Before the start, she told me
that this was definitely the last time she was doing it, so see you
next year XXX :-)
Looks like the combination of waiting for everyone and then having
to jog instead of ride or drive means that my timing is way out.
I've not even reached Juniper Bottom and the front runners have
already long gone. But I'll carry on with my plan, which is to walk
the route in reverse and hope to catch some of the runners against
Broadwood's Folly, a ruined tower in the woods.
Nobody more visually entertaining is on the Eiger steps as I pass,
and I want to keep moving, so Ian Peachey, number 127, this is your
moment in the spotlight!
"Show us your plum puddings, love!"
"Yeah, I didn't make it to the tower in time to see you there!"
In fact, I'm not even at the bottom of the very steep and dangerous
but photogenic slope yet.
Last time, this is as far as I went by bike, and it's as far as is
sensible to try to go. I'm now going to climb the slope and carry
It's slippery and a long way down, but nobody comes a cropper that I
A bemused member of the public stands aside.
The field is thinning out as I get near to the top of the steps, so
I have time to look around a bit. What do I see?
Belted Galloways! I assume Amanda won't have seen them as she'll
have been too busy concentrating on her feet to look anywhere else,
but perhaps they were less concealed when she came past, because she
will later tell me she has indeed seen them.
These two will turn out to be the back markers. Supergirl is obvious
enough, but I'm completely at a loss to identify Mr Green Thing On
Gosh, Nigel has come as the Knacker Cracker itself.
Oh, and I'm still not at Broadwood's Folly. So much for that
theory, I shall have to work on a new one for next time.
Ok, to the trig point...
The beard gives it away: she's not a natural blonde.
I missed the piper at the top of Burford because I was at the
bottom, so a quick shot to make up for that. He's standing in a
slightly poor place to photograph in context properly unless I were
to move far enough back to compress the perspective with a telephoto
lens, at which point I would be halfway down the hill and completely
unable to see him. So this will have to do.
Amanda and friends near the top of the final ascent as we admire the
view we would have if it wasn't so misty.
And there it is! Knacker Cracker 2020 well and truly cracked.
Recognise this man with his clothes on? Steve takes the winner's
And it's goodbye from us.
I trust you will all agree that 2020 has started with some
interesting visions indeed!
Love to all,

Ireland Closes One Loophole for U.S. Companies, Opens Another
It looks like Ireland's recent closing of a popular tax-loophole that drew mega-corporations to Irish shores like flies to a honey-pot isn't entirely what it first seemed.
Chris O'Leary, lord mayor of the quiet town of Cork, isn't keen on seeing American companies leave in the wake of the closing of Irish tax-loopholes, but he maintains confident that "companies aren't just coming for the corporate tax rate." But a recent push to sweeten the deal for patent-heavy industries is nice to have as insurance.
The Double Irish
There's been a bit of political backlash from progressive and the hoi polloi about Ireland's infamous "Double Irish," which has allowed companies like Google, IBM, and Apple to escape paying taxes. And it's not just the little people who are hopping mad: The European Commission is currently investigating whether or not Ireland colluded with Apple to arrange a sweetheart deal that helped the smartphone maker circumvent the local aid rules. How the loophole works is a great case study in how to be a One-Percenter. We always love flow charts: Courtesy of the NY Times, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Let's Keep 'Em Here
Ireland likes large American corporations coming in to help push down local unemployment rates. And so, the country announced last month that if it couldn't have the Double Irish, it would instead tax revenue generated by patents and other IP registered in Ireland at only a rate of only 6.25 percent. If you're a multinational company with patents in the pipeline, your eyebrows are raised right now.
Let's All Calm Down, People
There are catches, of course. Under international law, the tax benefit would only be available to companies that did the bulk of the research for the IP and patents within the borders of the country.
So, the new rate isn't a loophole, per se, but a bold and unvarnished statement to companies to "come on over, just know the limits." That means that these large companies will have to ship over talent to Ireland before they can even breathe on that 6.25 percent rate. But there doesn't appear to be an exodus out of the country. Recently, IBM, Pfeizer and Apple all announced recently that they intend to increase their operations in Cork. It looks like things are looking bright for Ireland.

- Credibility:
GARFIELD PARK — The Boys and Girls Club of Chicago unveiled a new tech center at its Garfield Park location that will give kids in the area the chance to work, play, explore and create using science, engineering and technology.
The Tech Center of Excellence at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boys & Girls Club, 2950 W. Washington Blvd., is the first step in the club's plan to integrate more Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) education into all of its centers across Chicago.
Boys & Girls Club of Chicago CEO Mimi LeClair said the new facilities will allow kids from ages five to 18 to use cutting-edge technologies that will help them to learn in a way that is immersive, fun, and hands-on.
"We feel as though we almost can have a bigger impact on the young people if we combine fun with igniting their curiosity and allowing them opportunities to explore their own passion," LeClair said.
The new tech center is equipped with two 3D printers, dozens of desktop computers, laptops and tablets for kids to use.
Club director Anita Douglas said this equipment is especially important because many of the kids do not have regular access to the internet, smartphones and computers at home, but need that access for homework assignments and school projects.
"It's going to be a huge impact because now they can actually learn software, learn programming around technology… providing them with those tools is essential to the new world age of technology," Douglas said.
Chief Academic Officer Dr. Vicki Lee took the lead on developing a culturally relevant curriculum to go hand in hand with the new center. This includes teaching skills like coding, game design and even robotics, which will utilize new drones that the club acquired for the tech center. Lee also hopes that the tech center will collaborate with the club's media programming so that students can explore music production and video editing using the new equipment as well.
Student Markida, 12, said she wants to use the new center to learn how computers work, and how programmers code video games.
"I would just like to understand how do they make it, so I could make it one day," Markida said, adding that the games she designs in the future will be about fashion and style.
The curriculum was made to be reflective of the community that the Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. Club serves, Lee said. For the kids and teens in Garfield Park, that means recognizing the accomplishments and innovations in tech and engineering made by black people throughout history.
This is also reflected in the design of the center, the walls of which are covered with black and brown pioneers in STEAM fields, like Katherine Johnson, one of the first black women to work as a NASA scientist.
"We wanted to ensure that our kids understood that there are people who look like them, who have overcome barriers and have gone into the STEM fields, in particular technology, and that they have made a great career and an impact on their communities as well," Lee said.

Vittorio degli Albizi came from the French branch of this noble Florentine family, who emigrated to Provence in 1523 following the struggles with the Medici for power in Florence. His father Alessandro took possession of the Valdisieve properties in the 1840s, including Pomino, which later became part of the Frescobaldi heritage following the marriage of Vittorio's sister Leonia, with a member of that family.
Equipped with a pragmatic and rational French-style mentality, Vittorio found himself breathing the fermenting climate that invested Tuscan agriculture in the pre and post-unification period, becoming part of that debate that had at its objective the modernization of viticulture.
Specialized viticulture was not entirely unknown for the Tuscan tradition, descending from the classical and medieval ages. By importing wine technology and the spirit of enterprise of the French into Italy, Vittorio invested a large part of his ingenious commitment as an agronomist and winemaker to Pomino. He, therefore, decided to replace or integrate with other types of grapes the vines, then used in Pomino (Sangioveto, Canaiolo and Trebbiano), all late-ripening, at the same time abandoning the mixed cultivation in favour of the specialized sub-mountain viticulture, around 500 and 650-700 meters a.s.l., which led to producing "fine and more exquisite wines", capable of a refined bouquet.
It is, therefore, on these historical bases that this wine, improved with new vines selected clonally on-site, obtained the DOC in 1983.
When was the last time you had dinner in an Italian restaurant in Canada and you thought you were dining in Italy? That's exactly how "Ospitalità Italiana Certified"restaurants want you to feel when you visit their fine dining establishments.
Ospitalità Italiana is an official certification from Unioncamere, Italy's federation of local Chambers of Commerce and Industry, that tells you that the food you are enjoying is unquestionably Italian: products are authentic, ingredients genuine and recipes true to the thousand year history of Italian cuisine.
Canada is home to some leading Italian Chefs. Passionate and innovative, many have refined their skills and advanced their knowledge directly in Italy. In addition, Montréal boasts a fabulous cooking school ITHQ where young aspiring chefs learn Italian technic and Italian traditional recipes from the masters.
So the next time you make reservations for an Italian dinner in a Montreal restaurant, ask if they've received the Ospitalità Italiana seal of approval. You will enjoy the true Italian taste.

Building Strategies
Wrong building sequence often determines the outcome of the game. I described the best one below.
This plan works quite well on Easy and Normal difficulties, otherways it may take longer to complete.
(Day 1)
Town Hall (gives 500 extra gold per day)
Capture wood and ore mines as soon as you can, wood is the first priority for this building strategy.
(Day 2)
Mage Guild (spellbooks to heroes; required for City Hall)
(Day 3)
Blacksmith (First Aid Tent is useful in the beginning, but don't buy Ammo Carts; required for City Hall)
(Day 4)
Marketplace (has no use in the begining; required for City Hall)
(Day 5)
City Hall (gives 1000 extra gold per day)
(Day 6)
Citadel (extra town defence; +50% population; required for Capitol)
(Day 7)
You'll have to decide here: either build a Castle (extra town defence; +50% population; required for Capitol)
or build another Creature Dwelling (to have something to recruit next week)
(Week 2)
Build Castle if you haven't, then save money and build Capitol as soon as you can.
Now you have an income of 4000 gold per day, 200% population growth and castle walls with 3 arrow towers!
Once you have the Capitol, have your town well defended, you don't want to face your walls nor spend 10000g on Capitol again!
(Capitol is destroyed if the town has been captured by an enemy who already has a capitol).
Next thing to do is to build all Creature Dwellings as soon as possible.
Build the most important ones first and don't upgrade until you've got all 7 creature dwellings!
The reason is to have the highest number of creatures possible.
Another important building on Week 3 is the resource silo, the sooner you build it, the more resources you'll get.
If your town is rampart, think about Mystic Pond and Treasury around Week 3.
Before upgrading Creature Dwellings, build all the special structures which
increase population of particular dwellings (ex. Cages or Griffin Bastion or Mess Hall).
Okay, now you're ready to kick some butt! Build/upgrade the rest of structures as you please.
If the enemy is near, or big army early on is crucial to winning the game, build creature dwellings and recruit your army instead of building a Capitol, this way you will have an army advantage, but don't forget to build Capitol on Week 3 or 4, otherways you won't have enough money to buy the troops.

We recently published two new articles concerning the properties of YBCO. The first, published on Superconductor Science and Technology, focuses on the work carried out by Eric Andersson Walhberg (link). In the manuscript, Eric shows the advances we achieved in the fabrication of high quality YBCO nanowires with controlled level of doping: from slightly overdoped to underdoped. This work opens the way to study the properties of underdoped cuprates at the nanoscale through transport measurements
The second article, published on Applied Physics Letters, focuses on the work of Edoardo Trabaldo on YBCO based grooved dayem bridges (link). The properties of these novel type of weak links are studied in a wide temperature range. Moreover, SQUID magnetometers based on grooved dayem bridges results in low magnetic field noise, close to the state-of-the-art.

Bid On Your Favorite California CreationAuthor:Sarah Virginia White
This year's Awards is the biggest one yet, with nearly 300 submissions, so it's the perfect time to introduce a special twist for our 2014 Awards gala on February 4: We're auctioning off 16 custom commissions designed just for our 2013 State of the Art column (and featured in our magazine).
State of the Art lets us work closely with California's best creative talents. For each issue, we commission three to four designs to be featured in our pages, and offer only one rule—it has to highlight the shape of our fair state. Since debuting in our Spring 2013 issue, it's included quilters, sculptors, jewelers, architects, muralists and woodworkers. We've shared the fantastic results with you in each print edition, and now it's your chance to take them home with you. Our auction is live online leading up to the event, so you can bid on your favorite piece and get insta-updates on its status (bidding runs through 8 pm on February 4). Check out the descriptions of these one-of-a-kind pieces.
1. Terrain Necklace
For heritage brand Alex & Lee, jewelry designers Lee Brooks and Greg Franke weave semiprecious metals, minerals and found objects into fantastical wearable art. This richly textured pectoral necklace features mirror images of the California silhouette in layers of bronze wire, vintage brass trim, copper rope and spun steel. Sterling silver plates evoke the sky, and a "dog-tooth" abalone pearl anchors the medallion. Proceeds benefit Larkin Street Youth Services.
2. California Gem
Inspired by his grandfathers in their hobby shops, woodworker Danny Montoya learned the fundamentals of carpentry by building skateboard ramps in the Santa Clarity Valley. As founder of San Francisco's Key and Kite, he transforms remnant wood into glowing sculptures called "gems.". For this piece, Montoya tweaked his signature design to incorporate redwood salvaged from stairs and a piece of sky-blue lucite in the shape of the Golden State. Proceeds benefit Magnolia Clubhouse.
3. Blurred Lines
Artist Cliff Garten has more than 50 public works under his belt, but the Los Angeles-based sculptor found time to celebrate his home state. In this four-by-two-foot illuminated sculpture, 49 layers of recycled plastic unfurl from a state-shaped base of stainless steel. The semitransparent sections reference three of the state's signature characteristics—its growing population, its mounting environmental pressures and its wide-reaching influence
4. Abstracted California
Creativity Explored artist Christina Marie Fong applies her bold, graphic style to this artwork in acrylic and ink on wood. The four-by-two-foot piece gracefully encapsulates the vibrancy of California in an eye-catching, abstract style, full of color and metallic accents. Proceeds benefit Creativity Explored.
5. Freehand Land
Inspired by nature and Led Zeppelin album covers, Creativity Explored artist Dan Michiels takes marker to paper to create his detailed masterpieces (which have traveled down the runway as prints for Comme Des Garçons designer Rei Kawakubo). Michiels created the repeating ropy tessellations and saturated-color forms that make up this California artwork by working freehand with felt-tip artist's pens and Sharpies, with a deliberate hand and only a vision in his head to guide him. This piece was featured on the Summer 2013 cover of CA Home+Design magazine. Proceeds benefit Creativity Explored.
6. Watercolor Wallpaper
Los Angeles artist Tracy Hiner, founder of Black Crow Studios, creates abstract, watercolor-inspired wallpaper meant for a crowd willing to take a risk. Hiner imagined this creation as a love letter to California, and created it by rolling slurries of acrylic paint onto paper. After scanning the completed piece, she enlarged the most interesting spot, employing a fine-art digital printing technique known as giclée to create the final wallpaper. Proceeds benefit Inner City Arts.
7. Golden State Sconce
Designer Brandon Morrison, founder of Los Angeles design studio whyrHymer, chose a literal celebration of California's beloved nickname, "The Golden State." For our Summer edition, he crafted this sconce in the shape of our fair state, and plated it in 24-karat gold. This version is equally beautiful and built in bleached maple. The versatile fixture can mount flush against a wall or ceiling, and the luxe finish beautifully reflect light. Proceeds benefit L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.
8. In Living Color
Inner Gardens owner Stephen Block (who recently updated the outdoors of no less a client than Sir Elton John) is a self-proclaimed treasure hunter—a talent that benefits his Los Angeles-based landscape firm. He salvaged this six-foot-tall swampland cypress knee as the perfect mimic of California's jagged coast, and decked it out with bromeliads to create a living work of floral sculpture. The best part is that the epiphytic plants require minimal maintenance—all this sculpture needs to thrive is a few spritzes of water per week. Proceeds benefit P.S. ARTS.
9. A Cut Above the Rest
Split Grain founder Paul Foeckler experienced his artistic awakening at the woodpile of his family's property on The Sea Ranch. Chopping wood one day, he took note of the intricate wood-grain patterns of the cypress logs: Unable to burn the chopped-up beauties, Foeckler instead celebrates the humble material through sliced-and-diced sculptures such as this California piece (three lucky swings of the axe created the state shape of the silhouette as viewed from the top). He then mounts them on shell armatures—a treatment reminiscent of specimens at a natural history museum. Proceeds benefit World Cancer Research Fund.
10. California Cuff #1
Ron Radziner, co founder of LA architecture firm Marmol Radziner, could never find the perfect piece of jewelry until he took to his company's metal shop and created it for himself. A few clients inquired after the custom cuffs, and before long, the firm launched a jewelry line. This bronze cuff plays with the angle of the state's silhouette, creating a modern, wearable abstraction. Proceeds benefit Los Angeles Conservancy.
11. California Cuff #2
Ron Radziner, co founder of LA architecture firm Marmol Radziner, could never find the perfect piece of jewelry until he took to his company's metal shop and created it for himself. A few clients inquired after the custom cuffs, and before long, the firm launched a jewelry line. This bronze cuff plays with the angle of the state's silhouette, creating a modern, wearable abstraction. Proceeds benefit Los Angeles Conservancy.
12. Farm Strong
Metalworker and Country Industrial founder Ray Degischer crafts sophisticated accessories out of the industrial scrap of his native Sonoma Country (think giant gears, hooks and sheet metal discarded by local wineries, Humboldt County logging stations and coastal fishing fleets). He created this versatile hanging chalkboard using rusted steel that he salvaged for its unique patina. Proceeds benefit 5 Gyres.
13. California Weavin'
The 1970s-inspired wall hangings by All Roads founders Janelle Pietrzak and Robert Dougherty were born out of the couple's desire for a statement piece of wall art. Working on a loom built by Dougherty, a carpenter and welder by trade, Pietrzak plys her craft using highly textured materials such as thick cotton rope, vintage yarns and curly sheep's wool. She modeled this California work after a topographical map of the state, using indigo dyed rope to suggest the Pacific Ocean and a welded arrow pointing westward. Proceeds benefit McGroaty Arts Center.
14. California Spirit
Reclamation Etchworks founders Ethan Terry and Timothy Daw use lasers and digital templates to turn salvaged liquor bottles into bespoke Art Nouveau–inspired decanters. This custom California trio features a triptych label that stretches over three reclaimed bottles, each named after a spirit that is distilled in the state, such as pisco, brandy or absinthe. Proceeds benefit ROYAL – Realizing Our Youth As Leaders.
15. Rubber Meets the Road
Bonnie Heras pursues her passion for all things sculptural as one of the founding members of Oakland-based Five Ton Crane (the artists' collective made famous by installations such as the 40-foot-tall Steampunk Tree House that reigned over Burning Man in 2007). This six-by-three-foot sculpture features the state's shape recessed into pattern of sliced-up bicycle tires that Heras wove into a mesh frame—referencing roads and the directional, trend-setting nature of California.
16. Quilted California
Los Angeles-based artists Claire Oswalt and Eliza Kenan founded textile studio Hopewell Workshop, which showcases Oswalt's watercolor-painted fabrics and Kenan's angular patterns in a collection of color-blocked quilts. In this California piece, a mosaic of painted polka dots and geometric edges references the state's varying environments (a bright red square represents energetic, industrial LA and a cool blue triangle stands in for Lake Tahoe). It's finished with blue-and-white binding, symbolic of the international airmail envelopes. Proceeds benefit Heart Gift.

This is a follow up of my first write up YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE (ABOUT THE VC COLOR SKOPAR 21MM F4) For those who don't feel like digging back in the archives (pitty, there are a couple of nice shots there and probably my best piece of text in a while), this is about picking the Voigtlander Cosina Color Skopar 21mmF4 back from the dry box and putting it back to work.
Very quickly, the 21mm had two terrible defects for me: the color fringing in digital and the difficulty to frame in general. I decided in June to invest into a proper viewfinder to try to overcome the second issue : I picked a 21-25 VC metal finder.
The viewfinder did a really good job, it very bright and accurate, well built and on top of it it is super sexy (I have to post pictures of the Leica IIIc with it).
All pictures here are from a single roll of Kodak Portra 400 shot with Leica M4 and VC Color Skopar 21mm F4 with the now famous 21-25 VC metal finder. Even vertical framing is accurate now.
Horizontal framing works as well. As I am a slow shooter these were probably taken over a few week ends in different areas of central Singapore.
To shoot portraits the 21mm requires you to get very close to your subject, and still you will get some distracting details in your frame. Also you may get funky perspectives even if you frame correctly your subject (thanks to the perfect new viewfinder)
When yout wan to put a lot in the frame as the Tan Boon Liat Building, actually it goes in. Colors with the Portra are quite rich, and vignetting is limited.
Or when you are close to buildings and want to put them in the frame as above, this is a great ultra wide angle.
I did not do many "street" shots on this roll, but the 21 gives an amazing dynamics to the shots like above.
I was very convinced by these first 2 or 3 rolls, and this has slightly changed my photographic practice recently. I use the M262 and M6 with the summicrons for holidays or events, the M4 and IIIc with older lenses for fun( or street, or burning film name it as you want) and recently the 21 is glued to them.
So expect more posts like this one, but as you know that I found love with the VC21 again, so i will have to find out new titles.
