The Tomorrow People (ITV 1973-79)
Teenage children who have reached a new level of evolution, Homo Superior, develop telepathic powers and fight alien evils on behalf of the Galactic Trig...
Thames Television for ITV, 30/4/1973-19/2/1979. 68 episodes in 8 seasons, colour. United Kingdom.
Created by: Roger Price. Writers: Roger Price, Brian Finch and Jon Watkins. Directors include: Paul Bernard, Roger Price, Darrol Blake.
Regular cast: Nicholas Young (John), Peter Vaughan-Clarke (Stephen Jameson), Sammie Winmill (Carol), Stephen Salmon (Kenny), Elizabeth Adare (Elizabeth M'Bondo), Dean Lawrence (Tyso), Mike Holoway (Mike Bell), Misako Koba (Hsui Tai), Nigel Rhodes (Andrew Forbes), Philip Gilbert (Voice of TIM).
Roger Price created this science fiction adventure series, inspired equally by Dr Christopher Evans' mind-expanding psychology book The Mind in Chains and a meeting with David Bowie on a TV pop show. The Tomorrow People were teenagers who had reached the next step in human evolution to become 'Homo Superior' (a phrase taken from the Bowie song 'Oh You Pretty Things'). Such special teenagers went through a painful process known as 'breaking out' - a clear play on puberty - to emerge with powers of telepathy, telekinesis and teleportation as agents of the all-powerful Galactic Trig. Led by senior Tomorrow Person John and bio-computer TIM, numerous appointed teens helped protect Earth from marauding aliens. It was a clever piece of wish-fulfilment by Price on behalf of his constituent audience, one that allowed children to become superior to parents, teachers and all other forms of authority.
This was a broad action-adventure series, with escape and capture routines familiar from Enid Blyton dressed up not only with sci-fi trappings of rayguns and teleport 'jaunting' but 1970s fashions, a glam rock design sense and a dose of liberal casting (the Tomorrow People admitting black and Oriental characters to its London-based team).
The series rarely dabbled with deeper science fiction concepts, though one story, 'The Blue and the Green', about warring factions of schoolchildren, drew parallels with conflicts in Northern Ireland. There was the odd scare (the genuinely creepy 'The Living Skins' saw synthetic fashion garments spearhead an invasion by giant bubble aliens), but also many jaunts into rather camp playing from guest casts. Price revived the series in the 1990s, helped by American finance. It retained the sense of fun and adventure from the original but with inevitably more advanced special effects. Nonetheless it failed to help define the decade as its predecessor had done.

|Natural outcome of trisomy 13, trisomy 18, and triploidy after prenatal diagnosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21990236 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Trisomy 13, trisomy 18, and triploidy belong to the chromosomal abnormalities which are compatible with life, but which are also associated with a high rate of spontaneous abortion, intrauterine death, and a short life span. This study was conducted to analyze natural outcome after prenatal diagnosis of these disorders. Between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2009, we investigated all amniocenteses and chorionic villus biopsies carried out at our department. All cases with fetal diagnosis of triploidy, trisomy 13, and 18 were analyzed, with a focus on cases with natural outcome. Overall, 83 (78%) cases of pregnancy termination and 24 (22%) patients with natural outcome (NO) were identified. The NO group included 15 cases of trisomy 18, six cases of triploidy, and three cases of trisomy 13. No case of triploidy was born alive. The live birth rate was 13% for trisomy 18 and 33% for trisomy 13. The three live-born infants with trisomy 13 and 18 died early after a maximum of 87 hr postpartum. Our data are consistent with the literature concerning outcome of triploidy, with none or only a few live births. Analyzes of trisomy 13 and 18 indicate a very short postnatal life span. Different study designs and diverse treatment strategies greatly affect the fetal and neonatal outcome of fetuses with triploidy, trisomy 13, and 18. More studies analyzing natural outcome after prenatal diagnosis of these chromosomal abnormalities are needed. Non-termination of these pregnancies remains an option, and specialists advising parents need accurate data for counseling. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Alright, so time for the full review. As most of you know, this was my second show of Evergrey's tour, having hit the Philadelphia show this past Sunday. I managed to get the rail spot I wanted, but sadly never got the chance to meet the band - so that's really what I was looking for out of this show. I even considered upgrading to the VIP package, and probably would have if the venue would've let me - but I'm actually very fortunate I didn't.
We got into the city around 3:30 and waited outside for a few hours. I managed to grab a quick picture with Tom S. Englund on his way inside. They let the VIP ticket people (maybe 12-15 total) inside around 6:30, and the rest of us at 7. Turnout for this show was actually pretty solid, much unlike the Philly show. I would say there were something in the neighborhood of 500 people there. The Absence came on at 7:30 and played for a half hour. I really hate the vocals, but these guys can play, no real complaints. Powerglove came on at 8:15 and also played a half hour, and, unsurprisingly, I still didn't enjoy them.
Without a doubt the biggest surprise of the night was Sabaton's draw. If there were 500 people there, at LEAST 150+ came much more for Sabaton than Evergrey. Honestly, I had no idea this band was starting to get popular. The crowd loved them too, and I have to admit, they were definitely very good. I'm still not dying to listen to them as they're not REALLY my thing, but they were a great live band. If they tour here again with another band I like, I won't hesitate to see them again. They said: "We'll be back - and next time we'll be headlining", and I believe that. They played for about 45 minutes.
Evergrey hit the stage around 10:15 and played an absolutely amazing set. Fortunately the sound last night was a good bit better than the Philly show, and the band played so well. My spot right between Tom S Englund and Marcus Jidell gave me the perfect vantage point, it was just a blast. Fortunately the band made 2 slight alterations to the set from Sunday, including adding I'm Sorry back to the setlist on the spot, which I couldn't have thanked them enough for, as it was easily a highlight of the show. Even at 17 songs and an hour and 45 minutes, the show was too short - this honestly could've lasted forever and I would've been fine with it. I got a setlist and a pick from Marcus.
Afterwards we were determined to meet the band, so after running down the the 7-11 for some drinks, we came back and waited outside (The Gramercy has no back door). I usually never do this sort of thing to try to meet a band, but for one, I just cared so much about this, and also, I'd been told by many people that Evergrey aren't the sort of band who will blow off their fans, and if you wait to talk to them, they will talk to you - and last night certainly proved that true. We hung out with the whole band outside their bus for at least a good hour or so, it was the best. The whole band are seriously the nicest guys in the world, but it was mindblowing for me to just get to talk to Tom for a while about all sorts of things. This was honestly the most amazing end I could've asked for to these 2 amazing days. I can't thank the band enough for the awesome shows and their outstanding hospitality to us last night. They probably would've let us stay and hang out forever if they didn't have to get on the bus and leave. My hats are off to them, this was seriously a life-changing experience. 2 of the best shows I've ever seen and one of the best interactions with a band I've ever had. I joked that I'm going to give up going to concerts now, cause they will never get better for me than these were.

Welcome to the Taj Mal in DubaiComment on this story
Dubai - A local company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to build a replica of India's famed Taj Mahal in Dubai, officials said.
Salim al-Musa, the chairman of the multi-purpose development Falconcity of Wonders, told dpa that the monument is to be called Taj Arabia and will be similar to the massive mausoleum in Agra but several times bigger.
The structure will also house apartments and shopping malls, including bridal shops, and will be surrounded by Moghul-style gardens, said al-Musa.
The company hopes to attract wedding business from the hundreds of thousands of Indians living in the UAE and neighbouring Gulf countries.
Bollywood stars have expressed interest in using the development as a film location, according to al-Musa, who said it is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014. - Sapa-dpa

|A novel endoscopically placed stent to relieve glottic obstruction from bilateral vocal fold paralysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21081249 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|OBJECTIVE: Congenital bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVP) is a rare but serious condition often requiring a tracheostomy to temporize the airway. In cases of idiopathic BVP, studies suggest waiting twelve months prior to laryngeal surgery because of a high rate of spontaneous recovery. Therefore a less invasive and reversible intervention would be optimal. A prospective study in a piglet model was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of a novel spring-loaded stenting device designed to maintain laryngeal patency in an in vivo animal model of BVP.
METHODS: Eight Yorkshire piglets had BVP induced by surgical division of the recurrent laryngeal nerves. Stents were endoscopically deployed between the arytenoid vocal processes. Animals were recovered and monitored for stridor, dietary intake, and weight gain. Animals were sacrificed after five days. Airway resistance using a calibrated manometer was measured at four time-points: baseline, BVP induction, stent insertion, and pre-sacrifice.
RESULTS: Six of eight animals survived greater than five days with an average weight gain of 1.9kg (p=0.003). Relative inspiratory resistance increased from baseline after inducing BVP (1.00 vs. 1.468, p=0.0315) and decreased to baseline levels with stent insertion (1.468 vs. 1.092, p=0.0238). Expiratory resistance was not significantly influenced by stage of measurement (p=0.236). Of the two animals not surviving the protocol, one had an unrelated anesthesia complication and the other a malpositioned stent.
CONCLUSION: The novel stent was successful in relieving the inspiratory resistance associated with BVP, without compromising swallowing and daily function. This may hold promise in temporarily securing the pediatric airway in the setting of BVP.

Vanke Center
A Horizontal Skyscraper Greens the Land: Steven Holl fuses architecture and landscape to make one of the most sustainable buildings in China.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Three decades of breakneck economic development have made China one of the world's great polluters, but a new green ethos is beginning to take root in the Land of 1.3 Billion People. Not only is the Chinese government moving to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and encourage alternative energy production, but a growing number of Chinese companies are demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainable design. A leader of this movement is China Vanke, the country's largest residential developer and a company that has hired innovative architects from China and abroad to design a number of projects. Its founder and chairman, Wang Shi, has made a name for himself not only as an entrepreneur, but as a mountain climber (he has reached the summit of Mt. Everest twice) and dedicated environmentalist. So it is not surprising that Vanke wanted its headquarters in Shenzhen to embody the highest green values.
Designed by Steven Holl Architects, which completed its Linked Hybrid residential complex in Beijing in 2009 and is busy working on large-scale projects in Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Nanjing, the 1.14-million-square-foot Vanke headquarters hovers 50 feet above the ground—a "horizontal skyscraper" that is a bit longer (1,310 feet) than the Empire State Building is tall (1,250 feet). By raising the building off the land (on eight supporting structures clad in back-lit, translucent glass), the architects were able to turn almost the entire site, including the area under the building, into a park open to the public. And by planting the roof, they created about the same amount of green space on the site as had been there before. "Our aim was to use a private development to create a public park," states Steven Holl.
Holl and his Beijing-based partner Li Hu approached the project, which was one of the first LEED Platinum buildings in China, as a seamless combination of architecture and landscape. Built on reclaimed land that forms part of the city's stormwater management system, the complex—which includes condos, a hotel, and a conference center, in addition to offices—sits on a lagoon that functions as a bio-swale/retention pond connected to adjacent creeks. The architects redesigned a waterfront retaining wall as a planted estuary, establishing a restorative ecology that minimizes run-off, erosion, and environmental damage. (The LEED status applies only to the office portion, which was completed first.)
A series of courtyards, sunken gardens, ponds, and planted mounds creates a circulatory system that regulates and redistributes stormwater throughout the site. In areas where pavement was required, the architects specified permeable materials such as local river stones, gravel, open-joint stone pavers, grass-crete, and compressed sand pavers to absorb water and naturally filter it. "The landscape is really a machine for cleaning the water and tempering the climate," states Holl.
Because the building sits above the ground, breezes from the nearby South China Sea flow underneath it and cool it. The building creates temperate micro-climates in a part of the world known for hot, moist weather, explains Holl. Raising the structure also gives the spaces inside better views of the sea (to the south) and mountains (to the north). The building's long, narrow floor plate ensures that office workers inside can rely mostly on daylight for illumination. Large operable windows 6.6 feet wide reduce dependence on mechanical ventilation, especially during cooler months (November to March) when natural ventilation can take over 60 percent of the time, estimate engineers at Transsolar. Operable windows can also cut electrical energy consumption annually by about one-quarter or 5 kWh per square meter.
"Dealing with the hot and humid climate and the small daily temperature variation was the biggest challenge for us," states Peter Voit, the partner in charge for Transsolar. "But we did detailed calculations of shading performance and devised a system of fixed louvers and operable windows that achieves very comfortable conditions with natural ventilation during the winter season," explains Voit.
High-performance glass, with two low-e coatings and a custom-designed system of perforated aluminum louvers, protects the curtainwall from the full impact of the sun. To get the most protection while maximizing daylight and views, the architects designed a different elevation for each of the building's 26 faces—adjusting the amount of fixed and operable louvers and the size of the perforations in the louvers to the orientation of the sun. A computer-and-sensor-controlled system automatically tunes the operable louvers to the movement and intensity of the sun. When closed, the louvers reduce solar heat gain by 70 percent, while allowing 15 percent of daylight to filter through the perforations. By suspending the louvers beyond the glass face of the building, the architects created a convective stack effect that draws cool air from the underside of the structure while pulling hot air out from the top.
To reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, the architects installed 15,000 square feet of photovoltaic panels on the building's roof. They estimate that these solar cells will provide 12.5 percent of the headquarters' total electricity needs.
Throughout the project, Holl's team specified products made from renewable materials. For example, the architects used bamboo for doors, floors, and furniture, and carpet tiles with vinyl backing made from recycled carpet and manufacturing waste. All paints, finishes, and adhesives in the building have either few or no VOCs.
To conserve potable water, the building is equipped with low-flow, highly efficient plumbing fixtures and waterless urinals. In addition, dual-flush toilets use recycled graywater. Outdoors, rainwater filtered by the bio-swale system is used to irrigate the grounds.
Holl worked with engineers at the China Academy of Building Research to design an innovative structural system that combines a high-strength concrete frame with the kind of steel cable-stay technology most often used on bridges. The solution eliminated the need for large trusses that would have impaired views from office areas and disrupted interiors more than the angled cables that were used. These cables transmit the building's vertical load to key structural elements such as reinforced-concrete cores, walls, and columns and then to the foundation.
Like Holl's Linked Hybrid in Beijing, the Vanke headquarters combines different functions in one complex—an 86,000- square-foot conference center tucked into green-roofed mounds at its base, 214,000 square feet of hotel space, and 211,000 square feet of condominium apartments. Parking is mostly underground. Because the office, condo, and hotel functions all occupy one long building, the scheme offers flexibility in terms of the amount of space allocated to each segment.
While some people question China's commitment to sustainability, Holl says all of his Chinese clients have asked for the greenest buildings possible. "In other parts of the world, clients want to nickel-and-dime sustainability, questioning every expenditure," states the architect. "Chinese clients aren't thinking that way. They're thinking of building the future."
