Contrasting against the greenery of Hooke Park is "InFlux", a brick-red wall prototype that 18 students and their tutors assembled for the AA School of Architecture's Summer DLAB::RED 2015 program. Taking place from July 27 to August 8, the RED-themed agenda explored the phenomenal process of decay in nature.

InFlux builds upon the material behavior research that began in 2014, with further investigations that connect geometry, material, and structure. During the first two weeks, students investigated the fabrication and construction of double-curved complex geometries in applying generative design techniques and robotic milling strategies. Students then applied their skills in constructing the 1:1 working prototype during the last seven days of the program. Since then, InFlux has become a permanent installation at Hooke Park.

Also be on the lookout for more from 2016 Summer DLAB::ORANGE, which just started earlier this week.

Five hundred steps, 25 stories, and 100 meters of height make up the Dubai Steps, as well as what appears to be a steely reflective outer casing with circular perforations. An aesthetic cross between the spinal column of a terminator and the euphoric ascendance of MVRDV's Rotterdam stair installation, the Dubai Steps appear to terminate in a large open-air platform from which climbers can take in the rapid development of the desert city that surrounds them.

Elaborately patterned lattices host vegetation and what appear to be shaded alcoves on each landing, which should hopefully mitigate what will undoubtedly be a physically exhausting climb in one of the world's hottest climates. It's prime real estate for bottled water vendors...

Sixty-five hundred people and a sizable compliment of robots will work in the enormous, solar-panel topped, rail-adjacent Gigafactory when it opens in 2017, a structure which is described as a "joint venture" between Tesla, Panasonic and other supply partners. In this case, the drive to inexpensively produce lithium-ion batteries has created the need for the colossal structure.

As Wired notes:

The assembly lines will do everything from make the individual cells—cylinders a bit bigger than an AA battery—to assembling the immense packs that power a Model S or store energy in someone's garage. Tesla doesn't disclose its costs, but says doing it all in-house will drive down the cost of a battery by 30 percent.

 http://archinect.com/news/article/149959841/how-patients-would-redesign-the-psychiatric-ward How patients would redesign the psychiatric ward Justine Testado 2016-07-25T21:04:00-04:00 >2016-07-26T12:03:17-04:00
[James] Leadbitter called it "a playful and exciting space for redesigning madness, a utopian attempt at what a mental health hospital could be like." Each structure...is an abstract interpretation of the feedback from the workshops, designed to offer varying levels "of privacy and intimacy ranging from total isolation to complete togetherness." "This is only a small glimpse of a project that has huge potential to influence the way we think about the design of mental health care environments,"

More than 300 patients, architects, and psychiatrists pitched their ideas on how they would redesign the psychiatric ward for "Madlove: A Designer Asylum", a collaborative project conceived by artist and activist James Leadbitter, who has suffered from mental illness and has stayed at several psychiatric wards himself. Leadbitter wanted to address the direct negative effects that terribly designed wards have on patients.

MVRDV settled into their new office headquarters inside the remodeled Het Industriegebouw, nestled in the heart of Rotterdam. Now dubbed by the firm as the MVRDV House, the building was originally designed by iconic Dutch architect Hugh Maaskant in 1952. The new 2,400 square-meter interior is modeled like a family home, filled with ample working and gathering spaces that reflect the "work hard, play hard" balance many firms strive for in their office's design.

Now with 140 employees based in Rotterdam, "[t]he expanding MVRDV family needed a new house," says MVRDV co-founder Jacob van Rijs. MVRDV's new office has "everything that [a] home requires, a living room, a dining room, a sofa for the whole house to sit together," he described. Surrounded by various creative start-ups and design firms, MVRDV believes they fit right in their new neighborhood.

Howe Dell Primary in Hatfield could well be the UK's most eco-friendly school. It has toilets that flush using rainwater, sedum roofs made of plants and vegetation, and classroom sink-tops made from recycled yoghurt pots. But the school's design doesn't just help protect the environment, it also uses nature to improve children's academic performance and behaviour.

Howe Dell Primary's £10 million, eco-friendly design is used by teachers to promote sustainability to a new generation of pupils. Capita Architects were given free reign to push the limits of sustainable design in the project, which was funded by the council, and that was exactly what they did. The school features solar panels, a wind turbine, and a heating system that uses a series of pipes just below the surface of the school playground for passive gain that is then utilised to heat the school.

This groundbreaking design was awarded ECO Green Flag accreditation (the highest level awarded to sustainable schools in the UK) and places pupils in close proximity to nature. To this end, the design's wetland area and sedum roofs are used to study birds and the school places sustainability at the core of the curriculum. This learning is even extended to the playground where learning stations allow pupils to examine the habitats of micro-beasts. In this way, the whole building is understoo...

In this New York Times interview with Ginia Bellafante, Jeanne Gang discusses the importance and challenges of designing work that isn't simply aesthetically pleasing, but that influences positive changes in social behavior and policy. In addition to her work on waterways, she discusses her idea behind designing a fire rescue station in one of New York City's poorest and most violent neighborhoods:

You feel like you trust a firefighter, a rescue worker. And those doors on the building are often open. And we even put a bench in the front of the building so people can actually sit there instead of taking this approach of creating a fortress, which I think is a contrast to what we see in the design of police stations.

And so really designing this Fire Rescue 2 started me thinking about, are there ways that design could help improve the relationship between community members and police if we looked at the architecture? Not that it can solve everything. But I think, you know, maybe it can ...

In 1959, Edward Durell Stone had envisioned a pedestrian walkway connecting his unbuilt design for the Kennedy Center to the Potomac River, but it was not until this year that Steven Holl Architects gained approval for the bridge, which is part of the firm's larger expansion design for the center. The bridge will not only provide a tangible connection between the facility and the landscape, but allow opportunities to visit a cafe and view outdoor art events, including an exterior wall which will double as a site for broadcasts and simulcast performances.

"This is a joyful moment for a public space which will be shared and enjoyed by many in the future," said Steven Holl in a press release. "After thoughtful review by these regulatory agencies, we have achieved complete approval for our Kennedy Center Expansion project and its public access to the Potomac Riverfront."

Details are scant, there's only one rendering, and yet according to on-the-nose-named developer PortLiving, Shigeru Ban has designed the world's tallest timber hybrid apartment complex. Called Terrace House, the sloping glass-encased, timber-framed, concrete and steel-cored building will eventually tower over Vancouver's waterfront. No word on whether this apartment complex will be adding affordable units or more luxury condominiums to Vancouver's bracingly expensive housing market.

Heathrow Airport has chosen Grimshaw to draw up concepts for a 'hub airport of the future' as part of its ambitious £16 billion growth plans The practice, which saw off Zaha Hadid Architects, Benoy and HOK, was praised for 'pushing the boundary of what an airport could and should be' and for showing 'how Heathrow could be expanded in a sustainable but affordable way'.

Grimshaw has been chosen to design a new terminal for London's Heathrow Airport. However, it remains up in the air wether the plans for a third runway will be given permission by the UK government. Many critics of Heathrow's expansion have been given top posts in Teresa May's new Cabinet, causing speculation that the expansion could be thwarted.

However, Head of Design at Heathrow, Barry Weekes maintained that "With the Concept Architect and Programme Client Partners now in place, we are now ready to begin the process of expansion once the Government makes the right choice for the whole of Britain." Going further, Andrew Thomas, a partner at Grimshaw stated "We believe the expansion of Heathrow is vital to maintaining the UK's place within the global economy". This announcement in the aftermath of Brexit is undoubtedly an attempt to solidify the case for Heathrow's expansion.

The building of the Philharmonie de Paris, designed by Jean Nouvel, is a unique architectural work in the Parc de La Villette in the French capital. The seating installed inside was specifically created for the hall by Jean Nouvel in partnership with Figueras. Up to 10 acoustic tests, in laboratories in Paris and Barcelona, were needed to achieve the desired product.

Jean Nouvel gave the Philharmonie concert hall a unique shape, as it is an adjustable space that surrounds the spectator. The Grande Salle of the Philharmonie is not designed in a "vineyard" or "shoebox" shape like traditionally. The Grande Salle starts a new model, enveloping and moveable. Jean Nouvel chose a unique solution to offer a total and enveloping experience, placing the spectators in hanging balconies at different heights. In this way, they are immersed in the hall with the feeling of heading toward the orchestra. The sound literally wraps each of ...

How can anyone forget Snarkitecture's giant monochromatic ball pit that took over the National Building Museum's Great Hall last summer? Following a wildly successful run that attracted a record-breaking 160,000 visitors, The BEACH is making a comeback at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida starting August 5. Plus, general admission is free!

It also looks like the installation is coming back bigger than before, spanning 15,000 square feet with a 75-foot-wide "shoreline", and comprising 1.2 million of the antimicrobial plastic balls. The NBM version was 10,000 square feet, and its more than 650,000 plastic balls were reused in Hou de Sousa's winning design of the Dupont Underground's Re-Ball! competition. No word as of yet if and how the Tampa installation will be recycled.

If you plan on diving into the ball pit at the arena, keep a close watch on your loose belongings when "splashing" around. The Tampa Bay Times writes that more than 1,000 items were lost at the...

Researchers from the University of British Columbia have suggested that modular construction techniques are key to assuaging cities' housing shortages.

Associate engineering professor Kasun Hewage at UBC, along with PhD candidate Mohammad Kamali, conducted "the first comprehensive review of conventional and modular construction research of its kind," and found that increased factory-produced housing should make it easier for prospective renters and buyers to find a place. It would help cities provide more options that can be built "cheaper, faster and results in fewer workplace injuries," according to Hewage. Their findings were recently published in the journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews.

Modular construction is obviously not a new method, but has a bit of a negative rep according to the researchers—the public tends to associate the method with lower-quality structures, and communities like trailer parks. But the study, which reviewed construction data between 2000 and ...

Earlier in my career I was based in Chicago but I was working in Nigeria and also doing some graduate work in the summer in England.

The longest trip I packed for was 60 days in the same suitcase and it covered a month in England and a month in Nigeria.

It was a tough time in my life, but it was also kind of utopian as well because there are certain advantages to being highly mobile.

In Germany today there are 1.8 million Turks. Every year 93.5% of those people travel from Germany to Turkey at least one time, that is nearly 1.7 million Turks across all strata of society who regularly travel between cities in Germany and cities in Turkey.

Looking at the lifestyle of this population, Bernd Upmeyer develops a theory of a new form of urbanism in his book Binational Urbanism. A binational urbanist is someone who because of the practical matters of their lives spend their time living in oscillation between two different countries. This is a thoughtful book with an interesting approach to rese...
 http://archinect.com/news/article/149958382/17-of-le-corbusier-s-buildings-are-now-un-world-heritage-sites 17 of Le Corbusier's buildings are now UN world heritage sites Eleanor Marshall 2016-07-18T10:35:00-04:00 >2016-07-24T22:46:01-04:00
The UN's cultural organisation has listed 17 works by pioneering Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier as world heritage sites. Le Corbusier spearheaded the modern movement after World War One, using iron, concrete and glass in a new focus on bold lines and functionality that did not appeal to everyone. The sites are in seven countries.

17 of Le Corbusier's buildings, including Unité d'habitation in Marseille and the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo were announced as new UN world heritage sites. The 17 buildings meet three of the selection criteria for World Heritage status:

(i) A masterpiece of human creative genius.

(ii) An important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or landscape design.

(vi) Directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance.

The inclusion of Le Corbusier's works as world heritage sites marks the culmination of a significant shift in attitudes towards Modernist architecture. His Unité d'habitation is often considered the forefather of high-rise living. Le Corbusier's forms are often cited as a key inspiration for the much maligned Brutalism. Could t...

Architects might be known for wearing black, as if in permanent mourning for the lives they once had, and for spending months searching for the perfect shade of grey. But judging by this year's student shows, that monochromatic hegemony is under threat: the next generation appears to be plotting a psychedelic revolution.

Incorporating influences drawn from popular media and gaming, architecture is increasingly reflecting the multi-faceted world in which we live, at least if you take a look at this new UK-based student work. Students from The Bartlett at the University College London, The Royal College of Art, and the Architectural Association have created unusually vibrant and occasionally pop-culture referential drawings:

What do you do with a sad, funky, abandoned trolley terminus? Well, if it's the former Williamsburg Bridge Trolley Terminal under Delancey Street in New York City, you make the world's first underground park by virtue of adding some mirrors, skylights, and vegetation. One acre in size, the freshly city-approved park (which took nearly a decade to go from its initial concept to getting the green light from the city) makes use of solar technology to pour sunlight into the former terminal, which has remained unused since 1948.

"Every designer dreams of doing civic work that contributes to society and to the profession," said James Ramsey, Lowline Co-Founder and Creator. "Over the last 8 years, we just stuck to what we thought was a great idea that could make our city and our community better. We're thrilled to move ahead on designing and building a space that people will enjoy for generations to come."

Imagine blending the veiny facade of 8 Spruce Street and the jaunty offset of the New Museum with Zaha Hadid's signature grace, and you might get something like the 54-story, 70,000 square meter 600 Collins Street, a tower that is reminiscent of a stacked series of ridged vases. The four principal segments of the tower each denote a different part of the program while simultaneously integrating access to public transit and creating civic space.

"The design has been defined by Melbourne's rich and diverse urban landscape, reinterpreted in a contemporary solution driven by the logical division of its overall volume that will enhance the city's public realm with generous communal spaces," said Zaha Hadid Architects' Michele Pasca di Magliano. "We are honored to be working with our partners in Melbourne to deliver this project for the city."

The thousands of new old houses in New Orleans reveal the ethos of a people in a place nearly destroyed. New Orleanians have embraced their city's architectural heritage as they've rebuilt for an uncertain future.

What does post-Katrina architecture look like in New Orleans? And what does it reveal about its society? In their survey in Places, Richard Campanella and Cassidy Rosen discover that historical styles are 14 times more popular than contemporary styles in the rebuilt city, despite the focus of media coverage on experimental projects like Make It Right. The retro revival pays homage to 19th-century New Orleans and a past that has become both a refuge from the present and a cicerone to the future.

Malaysia has too much sewage sludge and not enough concrete, a problem which naturally prompted an "aha!" moment among researchers. By burning and drying wet sewage sludge cake and then grinding and sieving the dry cake to produce Domestic Waste Sludge Powder (DWSP), the Malaysian researchers are attempting to create an additive that can be mixed with cement to produce concrete.

So far, they've found a mixture of between 3% to 15% DWSP in cement produces fairly strong concrete, although the higher percentage of DWSP, the less strong the concrete becomes. Variables abound: according to this report, higher incineration temperatures can produce better DWSP, and the more DWSP in the concrete, the higher the water absorption.

Modern furniture has progressed into a timeless and valuable interior design staple. When people think of modern, they normally associate sky-high prices. But huge furniture names developed the concept of affordability in the modern furniture world, and smaller brands like Modani Furniture have kept the concept thriving. As most trends come and go, modern has taken a permanent seat as a design classic whose style, materials, and colors are meant to last.

Easy to identify due to its clean aesthetic and versatility, modern furniture stays away from the ornate, making it uncomplicated and functional. In turn, modest or minimalist pieces hold a high value because "simple" never goes out of style. Modern design is infamous for grounding rooms by using neutral colors and creating an interior that can constantly be added to. Because these staples are so versatile, adding trendy ornamentation can easily accentuate modern décor.

For anyone who doesn't know the UK's most prestigious award, it was founded in 1996 and recognises "the architects of the building that has made the greatest contribution to the evolution of architecture in the past year."

Although the future of the industry is somewhat uncertain following the EU referendum a few weeks ago, firms have been optimistic; confident in their innovative skill and entrepreneurial ability to tackle the potential problems ahead.

Looking back over completed projects from the last year, it is clear to see why. It has been a particularly impressive year for UK projects - it was no mean feat selecting our predictions for the six nominations.

Congratulations to triumphant Tigh na Croit by HLM Architects & Lansdowne Drive by Tectonics Architects who were crowned the 2016 UK Passivhaus Awards winners.

HLM have won the Rural category of this year's UK Passivhaus Awards. The house, which aimed to create a low-energy, modern solution for the 'outdoorsy' clients, has been designed to reflect its Scottish Highland context.

Tectonics Architects gained the award for the Urban category, with their fantastic project in Hackney.
 http://archinect.com/news/article/149957127/designers-of-the-london-eye-create-new-landmark-for-brighton Designers of the London Eye create new landmark for Brighton Eleanor Marshall 2016-07-11T14:22:00-04:00 >2016-07-17T17:37:47-04:00
Marks Barfield Architects have, quite literally, reinvented the wheel and have created the i360, a vertical cable car with a sculpted viewing pod, perching lightly upon Brighton's seafront... It takes the form of a slender mast that will be 568ft high (when the spire is added), which supports a sculpted, doughnut-shaped pod, with glass windows and a reflective mirrored underside. The pod takes up to 200 people at a time skyward over a flight time of 20 (daytime) or 30 minutes (evening).

Due to open this summer, the British Airways i360 is a new futuristic landmark for Brighton's seafront designed by architects David Marks and Julia Barfield. It is hoped that the BA i360 will herald a new touristic golden age for Brighton, replicating the success of the London eye on Brighton's seafront. The i360 will be possibly be advertised on British Airways flights to the UK, in an international revival of Brighton's ambitions. Inclusive of the immediate community, there will be half price tickets for Brighton residents and free entry for state school children in Brighton and Hove once in their school career. There is also to be a restaurant at the base of the tower, and the restoration of a pair of original building on the West Pier.

In juxtaposition to the i360 tower, the Grade I listed West Pier is situated adjacent. The condemned structure is a skeleton from the golden age of domestic holidaying. Th...

After the University of Applied Arts Vienna chose a winner for its campus redesign competition in 2012, the proposal is just now being made a reality—much to the disappointment of another prominent Viennese institution, Coop Himmelb(l)au.

The University selected Riepl Kaufmann Bammer Architecktur's design for a major renovation and expansion of its current buildings, totaling 9,500 square meters of new space. On July 6, the University broke ground on the project, and on July 8, Coop Himmelb(l)au's communications office sent out an email decrying the design, comparing it to a "prison courtyard" and asking "does it necessarily have to be the worst project which will now be realized?":

Commonly, Architecture is understood to be a three-dimensional imprint of content. Following this view, the rendering – boastfully called "inwards facing campus" – looks rather like a prison courtyard. If that image was a reflection of the University of Applied Arts' curricula, one should definitely be con...
 http://archinect.com/news/article/149956836/i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream-for-this-indonesian-library-made-out-of-2-000-recycled-ice-cream-buckets I scream you scream we all scream for this Indonesian library made out of 2,000 recycled ice cream buckets Amelia Taylor-Hochberg 2016-07-08T17:51:00-04:00 >2016-07-17T15:48:47-04:00
Designed by SHAU in Bandung (Indonesia's West Java capital), the two-story structure's facade is made from (you guessed it) a grid of recycled plastic ice cream buckets. The ground floor is kept open for various events and activities, and the actual library is located behind the buckets, on the second floor.

The kicker is that the buckets are arranged facing either in or out, forming a pattern in binary code that reads, in Indonesian: "book is a window to the world". Clickthrough the link for more info from GCR, and check out more photos in the gallery below.

Less ice cream, more libraries:

Unwilling to accept a life utterly dependent on caretakers, [Steve] Saling designed a series of systems that let patients with ALS control their environment in the assisted living center with ...blinks and facial twitches. "The notable impact that ALS had on my ability to design is speed," he said. "I am a lot slower. [But] Because much of my profession had been computerized and I excelled in computer-assisted drafting, I was still able to convey my ideas with a lot of precision."

KB, your book sounds fascinating! i can't wait to read it.
EB, I love the name of your writers group, The Mayhem Gang. Sounds like fun.
Thanks, EB, for doing this series on the WWK bloggers. It's been interesting and enlightening.
I won't be commenting much this week, I'm afraid. I'll be at a huge conference, working long hours with little access to or time for the internet. Enjoy the silence!

KB, I think the exploration of the effect of slavery on our country is largely ignored and unexplored. I've written two novels about Abraham LIncoln and one on "BLeeding Kansas."
EB, Thanks for this series. I look forward to reading your work.
PS I enjoy reading short stories by both of you.

- Gloria Alden said...
Although I enjoy novels in present time, I also love historical novels. That's why I know I'd enjoy your book.
I've enjoyed reading this series of interviews. You've done a good job with it, EB.
There's another option for your book if you don't get an agent as soon as you'd like. You can always go indie. I see a large following for the kind of book you've written, EB.

Linda-I've enjoyed reading about all of our WIPs. Have fun at your convention.
Warren-Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you like my shorts. Too bad I haven't had time to write any lately.
Gloria--Nope, not going idie--not yet anyway. If this one doesn't sell, I'll enter it in contests to find out what it lacks. And write another novel and hope for the best.

Both your novels sound interesting. KB, historical novels are doing well, so I hope you finish this one. Elaine, I'm so glad you've created a new genre. I'm all for crossing mystery with something else, and that you've crossed it with two other genres, well, Love It! Best of luck to you both.
- February 27, 2012 at 10:29 AM
- E. B. Davis said...
I like cross-genre novels too, Polly. New is good, unless an agent doesn't think it will sell. We'll see, thanks for crossing your fingers for us. When we get great reviews as you have, then I'll be quite happy. Thanks for stopping by.

Your Fitness Band Can Now Tell If You're Over-Caffeinated
Photographed by Ashley Batz.
Honestly, we don't need an app to tell us we're addicted to coffee. The fact that we're already sipping our fourth cup is pretty telling. But, admitting to the caf problem is only half the battle — curbing it is where it gets real ugly. Lucky for us and other java-lovers out there, Jawbone is here to help. Apparently, coffee is the number one tracked item on the band, so the fitness-focused company has created UP Coffee — an app that assists with controlling your caffeine intake.
It's pretty simple in the sense that all you need to do is enter every cuppa Joe, energy drink, tea, etc., and then it locates your buzzing level on a spectrum ranging from "wired" to "ready for sleep." It does this by measuring the amount of caffeine and your sleep patterns. So, if you have the band, the app is able to actually suggest which times (based on your circadian rhythm) you should put the mug down. Getting those Zs in is no joke, so if you're swigging the mud out of control, you might want to invest in this new tool. Step away from that steamy cup and download now! (Fast Company)

Heart Beat Babes, submitted by robayon. Just when I thought the world had run out of obscure fetishes to shock or amuse me, along comes Heart Beat Babes. The fetish in this case is women hooked up to medical monitoring equipment.
Inside heartbeat babes you'll find over 650mbs of downloadable movies in categories such as EKG, stethoscope, Blood Pressure Cuffs, Stress Tests. Watch videos where you can actually hear the sound of the girls Heartbeats as they ride bikes do sit ups and star jumps, if you're into stethoscopes, heartbeats, stress tests or blood pressure cuffs then this is the site for you!
The next time I need my hip listened to I'll know who to call. To paraphrase the sage words of forum-goer actionattackmongoose; "Sorry, but 3-lead monitoring just doesn't do it for me. It takes some hot 12-lead monitoring to turn me on."
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further

Wall Street's 10 Most Notorious Stock Traders
The country's financial hub has a long history of lying, cheating, and stealing
No one likes recessions, but no one dislikes them more than the crooks who are an inevitable part of any financial market.
As the economy goes south, companies seeking to cut costs scrutinize their books more carefully and bring embezzlements to light. Investors take money out of higher-earning (and therefore inherently more risky) funds and put them into safer ones, and Ponzi schemes collapse as a result. Credit becomes tighter, and loan requests are more carefully investigated, so businesses with cooked books find their insolvency revealed. Read more »

Generally, co-worker harassment doesn't mean liability for the employer if the employer had no reason to know about the behavior. But if one of the co-workers has some degree of control over the employee he harassed, courts may conclude that supervisor liability applies.
Recent case: Rhonda Johnson, who is black, worked as a corrections officer in an Atlantic County jail. A co-worker who wasn't her official supervisor was in charge of controlling access to various sections of the jail. One day, he refused to open the door to the section Johnson patrolled after she told him she needed to use the bathroom. Johnson urinated on herself.
Johnson sued, alleging harassment.
The court agreed, reasoning that her employer could be held responsible for harassment by a co-worker who controlled aspects of her workplace. (Johnson v. Atlantic County, et al., No. 07-4212, DC NJ, 2010)

All right. You've just cut twenty cedar fenceposts to replace those rotted ones along the edge of the south pasture. And you know that you should skin the bark off the posts with a drawknife (so that damaging insects, moisture, and fungi will have no place to hide)... but you're tempted to sorta forget that part of the job, since bark stripping can be wearisome work. And, besides, you don't have the time.
Well, peeling the bark off those timbers doesn't have to be a slow and tedious task. Not if you have a debarking tool.
My debarker—I've also heard it called a "peeling spud"—is simply a garden hoe with the blade straightened out. To make one yourself just take an old hoe, heat its "neck" until the metal is malleable, and bend the blade back until it forms a 165° angle with the tool's handle. Sharpen the business end of the device, and presto! You've got a tool that's guaranteed to make easy work of any bark-stripping job.
To use the spud, just anchor or wedge your post so it won't move, stand over it, and dig in. With a little practice, you'll soon be able to peel off two- to three- foot strips with one swipe. (Try that with a drawknife!)
One more word of wisdom. Always debark your wood while it's still green. You'll find that the longer the timber cures, the more difficult it is to strip off its "wrapper".

France expected to reduce iPod tax
French authorities are expected to reduce a copyright levy imposed on flash music players as early as next week. The decision will reduce the tax on a 4GB iPod nano from over €50 (US$59) to about €8. "Last week, the French Commission on Private Copying adopted a proposal to reduce the levy on flash memory devices, aligning it with the levy on hard disk drives," reports IDG News. "The decision is widely expected to be published Dec. 1 in the Official Journal, where French laws and regulations must appear before they take effect."

Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.

Hi Chaol!
Would it be accurate to say that songs can work as symbols?
Because I tend to 'encode' a song with the setting/emotions/events that exist when I first hear it, and am reminded of them every time the song plays.
I'm thinking that this could work mentally as well (hearing the song in your head), if a meaning has been consciously attached from the get-go.
Idk, there's just something about music that speaks to the soul :)
Reality = the relationships between symbols
And songs are indeed symbols, too (in the above way).
The only problem is that the conscious meaning and the sub-conscious meaning of the song may be different. But, from my experience, the sub-conscious meaning is oft in accordance with the lyrics of the song.
So in that way I suppose music does speak to us :)
I know we don't need to get into an explanation right now of the sub-conscious. (It's probably better to keep our focus on one thing right now since it's such a challenge for some of us, LOL!)
But anyway, will we become more aware of our subconscious as we learn to use the Genius and later, the Language?
Please verify you're human:

Xiaomi Redmi Pro launched – Everything you need to know
Xiaomi is well known for their range of affordable smartphones and tablets, and the company continues to grow their device portfolio with some great options. After much anticipation, Xiaomi has finally taken the wraps off their latest smartphone offering at a launch event in Beijing earlier today. Here's everything we know about the Xiaomi Redmi Pro! The Redmi Pro features a full metal unibody construction with a brushed metal finish, and up front is a 2.5D glass that covers the 5.5-inch Full HD OLED display. The change to OLED, from the usually standard in this price range IPS LCD, is a nice touch, and should provide a more vivid and pleasing viewing experience.

In this volume Harley decides she wants to establish herself as a baddie in old run-down Gotham and for that, she goes on to ditch the Joker and start her own gang. This volume is equipped with half-witted crime schemes, a slumber party, villain team-ups, a failed attempt to loot Bruce Wayne's mansion, and hilarity ensues. The thing that makes this book a plus, is that with Harley's independence from the Joker, the writer is left with plenty of room to explore the character's psyche beyond that of a mere henchgirl with a perverse obsession with one of Gotham's most notorious criminals. The stories go on to illustrate the things that make Harley a heartless criminal as well as the things that make her a sympathetic human being.
Overall this is a good book for any comicbook fan (and Harley fans in general) to possess and enjoy. The stories are fun to read, equipped with witty dialogue, and of course Harley's twisted sense of humour. Die-hard fans of the animated series may be disappointed to learn that Harley's not as innocent in these pages as she is in DCAU, but with Dodson's luscious artwork and Kesel's own spin to establish the Character beyond of what's already familiar to most, make it all worthwhile in my opinion.
The problem here is that despite lip service to her being a "brilliant" psychiatrist and much smarter than her persona, we never really see any evidence of it. Her adventures / scores may be wonderfully planned and thought out, but if so, we don't ever see any of that. And, frankly, a whole collection of bad puns doesn't help all too much.
A couple of the stories here are fun and entertaining - the book is not without its merits - but as a whole, meh.
Side note and soapbox: I get it that comics are fantasy and that they generally appeal to males, but jeebus, does EVERY female have to have enormous breasts, tiny waists, bubble bottoms and skin-tight (or non-existent) costumes. On every page. In every situation. Do not female characters ever sit around the house, or hideout, in baggy jeans and sweatshirts? They have to wear these painted on costumes at all times? Sheesh.
Okay - all done.
A. Bumbling sidekick,
B. Clingy girlfriend,
C. Absolutely awesome villain in her own right?
After reading this compilation of Harley Quinn #1-7, the answer is quite obviously C. In this, the Maid of Mischief goes up against some of Batman's greatest villains, throws a very dangerous slumber party, creates her own team, and overall, is absolutely fantastic. Funny and interesting with great action and superb artwork by the Dodsons.
The art does shift from time to time, and at strange places -- I assume this is a result of Terry Dodson and his wife working together. It will slip from it's streamlined and curvy artstyle to a more cartoony Bruce Timm-esque look, but these changes are pretty rare and don't bother you if you're ready for them.
In this marvelous collection, Harley gets betrayed for the umpteenth time by her puddin', the Joker. She goes on the tussle with Two-Face, throw an all-villainess party, start her own gang, the Quinntets, and then go off on her own schemes that pit her against the Riddler and Big Barda. Along the way, a few detectives search for her, digging into her past.
I'm absolutely trying to find the rest of this series now. Pity it's so tough to find.
Visually, the pages here feature mostly fantastic, seductive, pin-up style panels of Harley mixed with some cartoon like panels that resemble her in the Batman animated series. One has to assume the later is done because of time constraints, but whatever. This is more an observation than a complaint.
The stories here are fairly light weight, but are filled with enough action, humor and dialog here to keep things engaging.
More Harley Quinn please! She's perhaps the most interesting "super villainess" in the history of comics.
Though she's been portrayed as a much darker character in other series (which I've also enjoyed), I really had fun with this return to a lighter, funnier version of Harley. This Harley is very similar to the Harley of B:TAS, visually and personality wise. Though this Harley gets a little more depth and credit for her brains. Which is one of it's points of appeal to me.
One of my favorite things about Harley is that, yeah, she's totally crazy (and has terrible taste in men), but she's also smart. I think it's a disservice when writers "forget" her backstory as a brilliant psychiatrist - there's so much more meat to her when it's acknowledged and integrated that Harley "gets" people: She understands their damage and how they think and she plays on that to her advantage. She even understands her own damage, though she chooses not to acknowledge it. Those traits make for a more interesting character with opportunity for real depth, even when it's played "light".
There are some neat, subtle moments in this volume that touch on Harley's personal psychology and backstory and speak to the fact that she's smarter and deeper than others give her credit for. I'm hoping for more of that in the next volume, which I'll be reading asap.
Overall, I liked seeing Harley "take a break" from her Mistah J and step up from sidekick status in these not-always-entirely light-hearted stories. There were some very funny moments mixed in with some great scenes of Harley just being a totally kick-ass chick, which is always one of my favorite character traits. What's not to love?

Clip from the 2008 NET Production "Beef State" highlighting the Blizzard of 1949, a series of snowstorms between November 1948 to February 1949 that caused trains to stop, houses to become buried, and threatened millions of head of cattle in four states. In some places, 60 inches of snow fell. In response to almost 2 million cattle and sheep being stranded and hungry, the Air Force launched Operation Haylift and used C-47, C-45 and C-82 cargo planes to drop bales of hay to feed livestock. On the ground, the Army used vehicles outfitted with extra traction to reach the people stranded in parts of Nebraska that were hit hard by the storm. This operation was known as Operation Snowbound.
