In Spain the brand McKinley sells them for 36€/pair, rebbranded as "super lite". I've been using them for a year now and they are relly good poles, the best you can buy for that price.Aug 2, 2011 at 8:24 pm #1765700

Danny, nice write up. These poles appear to hit the sweet spot. Rugged, reliable, and very light weight. And it sure doesn't hurt that they are affordable either. They may just be the next set of poles I buy.
Gen: they are about 1.5 oz. per pole heavier than the GossamerGear and TiGoat poles but half the price. Yep, pretty good value. No skin off the cottage poles though. Nice to have another choice.Aug 3, 2011 at 7:51 am #1765756

Two of my friends bought very expensive ($175 American a pair) GG carbon fiber poles. Maybe they mistreated them, I don't know, but they have had a lot of trouble with them. It is nice to hear about relatively light, competitively priced poles that have withstood rigorous field testing. I wish they were more readily available in the States however.Aug 3, 2011 at 9:59 am #1765791

Great poles. I just used them on a month-long trip through the Pyrenees and they survived pretty much unscathed. However after a prolonged period of heavy rain followed by a couple of hours of intense heat, the tip (the plastic bit plus the carbide tip) detached from the lower pole section. It didn't brake off, but the glue simply let go. Maybe the combination of humidity and high heat caused this. Though with a little epoxy this is easy to fix.
When the poles are wet, the lack of any plastic rings/ferrules on the end of each pole section also makes it difficult to get a good grip on the poles when you want to adjust them.Aug 3, 2011 at 10:15 am #1765802
Maxine WeyantBPL Member
Did you have any occasions where grit or sand got up inside the junction between the sections? The taper of the plastic joints on my carbon pole sections seems to keep some of the grit out.
I realize BPL has gotten out of the business of selling gear, but if anyone out there has a business that could order a very large quantity of these poles, and we could get a number of folks to prepay or commit to purchasing, we wouldn't all have to pay the high shipping costs. I'd sign up for 2 sets of poles, maybe 3.

I've got Leki Powder poles for skiing, those were the poles I used before the Fizan. The amount of grit is more or less the same on both. The only complaint I've got on the Fizan is the length, I prefer longer poles for tarp setup.Aug 3, 2011 at 12:12 pm #1765843

I've been using these poles for a year after some bad experiences with non-metal poles! I can say that these are great – the only real maintenance needed is to dry them out properly when wet otherwise the metal oxidises – but they still work, don't break, collapse small, grip well – I can't say how pleased I've been with these; I don't know of a better pole.Aug 3, 2011 at 2:39 pm #1765888

I just ordered a set of these for delivery to the US through Ultralight Outdoor Gear in the UK. The price, including shipping, was only $80 and change.

While I've been using these poles for over a year now, I must agree with Danny's assessment. Great poles at a great price is my take.
BUT, I promised the head of Fizan (Andrea Zaltron, email@example.com) that I would voice my distaste with the horrible customer service that I received from them last fall:
After numerous emails commending their poles, kindly requesting a replacement strap and eventually offering to pay for shipping myself, her replies were curt and impolite at the very least. In the end: no replacement strap. Hands down, the worst customer service I have received from a company after years of working in retail and the outdoor industry. I have a history of the emails fwiw.
In short, a great product but truly sub-par leadership/customer service. I will NEVER buy from them again. IMO, quality goods do not supersede customer service and brand reputation.
Buyer, please beware.Aug 4, 2011 at 11:56 am #1766169

Bought these poles somewhat more than a year ago and have used them a lot by now, mostly on rough terrain (off-trail, over boulder fields etc) where you have to put a lot of pressure on the poles sometimes. I agree that these poles are probably the best UL adjustible & collapsible poles on the market. But I'm afraid mine are already worn-out by now. The problem with mine was that after a lot of use the aluminium teared at the end of the shaft where the flexy lock system is located. The locking system then shifts from the aluminium and might get stuck in the pole. I glued the locking system again to the section and could continue hiking with the poles again for some time until another section of the pole teared… now I have three teared sections and one expander stuck in the pole which I can't get out again. So watch out for this issue when the poles get older. Mine also started to slip at the end. Probably these issues won't appear as fast when you don't do a lot of serious off-trail hiking. I think they can be too short for tall hikers too. But besides from this, these are really great poles and I loved to hike with them.Aug 4, 2011 at 11:24 pm #1766342

I bought a pair as they were on special to use as wading staffs that I didn't need to take care of, one for my young son, and I've been using the other when I wasn't using my specialist Simms wading staff. I got them because they were really cheap on special, collapsed down to one third, and I wanted something more robust than my TiGoat carbon poles for a wading staff when fishing rocky streams here in Aus (didn't want to have to be careful about gouging the staff like I do with the carbon ones). I also sprayed the shafts matte black for stealth with a $2 can of paint.
They are actually very light, and extremely robust. I've been surprised that they are still taking all my abuse and misuse without a qualm. I've been using mine about without a care on the way to many a river, and, because I didn't care about it, I have often used it to cut a path through blackberries etc. Surprisingly, it is as still as good new, just a little scratched. Collapsing and locking mechanism has never given me a problem either, despite not taking any care with the rod.
So: budget priced, robust, zero maintenance, strong, packs effectively, reasonably light – what else could you want?

My LT4's telescope down to fit in my duffel bag or stow comfortably on or in my pack. That certainly meets the dictionary definition of collapsible. I think it even meets the loosely stated BPL criterion. If you're going to deviate from broadly accepted definitions, you should clearly state your own definition to avoid confusion.Aug 8, 2011 at 9:36 pm #1767379
Keith – I believe that my use of "collapsible" and "adjustable" are inline with BPL definitions. In Will Rietveld's review of the GG Lightrek 4, he describes them solely as adjustable. Will also reviewed BD's new Ultra Distance poles. In his Assessment, he wrote:
Value-wise, the Ultra Distance poles cost almost the same as the Gossamer Gear Lightrek 4 poles (US$150 versus US$160), so the bottom line depends on which feature you value most. If collapsibility is more important, get the Ultra Distance poles; if adjustability is more important, get the Lightrek 4 poles.
Furthermore, Gossamer Gear's website does not refer to their poles as collapsible.
You can adjust the GG LT4 to a more travel-friendly length of 90cm and the Titanium Goat Adjustable gets even smaller. But neither pole can collapse to as short a length as the Fizan Compact (58cm).Aug 8, 2011 at 9:59 pm #1767388
The people in the pictures are not using the straps and there is little comment on the straps.
I just got a pair of BD ultra distance and the straps are the best designed of any I have tried. Easy in, easy out, easy to adjust and contoured to create the most comfortable stable platform I've experienced. They are soft comfortable with bare hands. The poles break down/assemble instantly and they don't "shorten" as you go.Aug 8, 2011 at 10:10 pm #1767394

Excellent write-up – thanks Danny! I may have to check out a pair since my TiGoat AGP's are too long to fit in my luggage when I travel.Aug 9, 2011 at 10:06 pm #1767715
Hi Hartley – The straps aren't particularly highlighted in our review because they are pretty standard in design. The straps are similar to what you'd find on many other brands of trekking poles, such as those from REI. They are padded, adjustable and fairly comfortable.
Black Diamond's Ultra Distance poles are hand specific, and so those straps (and hand grips) are more form fitting, and therefore, more comfortable.Aug 9, 2011 at 11:24 pm #1767733

I've used mine for perhaps 50 days of hiking thus far. They are nice poles and easy to carry just in one hand when not using them.
They lack the spring and resilience of say Leki Ti Makalu's which I notice on long rocky descents. They also dint relatively easy, so a policy of 'drop poles when you stop' can hurt them. I am pretty hard on my gear.Aug 10, 2011 at 1:03 am #1767748
Thanks Danny:
I can't imagine using (or testing) poles without the straps like the people in the photos. Their hands must get tired. How much weight can you put on them without a "platform". (In all fairness, I skied before I adopted hiking sticks.) I prefer not to use sticks as they slow me down — my feet are quicker than my hands, When lumbering along with a pack, I use them!
The BD straps are brilliant. I ordered a pair from backcountry.com to see what they were all about. The straps were the first thing I noticed. However, the sticks are not "weighted" well — they don't have a nice swing. I suspect this is the price to be paid for shaving weight! Far from a hiking stick expert, for me the advantage when carrying a pack is largely about rhythm and balance, not about saving my knees — in fact I haven't figured out how one with use them to ease knee strain. For hiking sticks, I have previously used various Leki models as I could obtain them favorably. Inevitably one or the other of the pair ends up shorter. I have never had a real incident but that's scary to have your sticks shorten like that! Makes you back off.Aug 10, 2011 at 1:54 am #1767754

Sticks: "When lumbering along with a pack, I use them!"
Nobody here in BPL _lumbers_ along with a pack. They skip along the trail, light as a feather. (sputter, sputter, nevermind)
Back in the very old days, before trekking poles were very common, I was on my first trek in Nepal. I was in good condition, so I didn't need to prepare much to trek for 25 days… or so I thought. This group of mostly Americans got over there and started going up and down the steep trails, which were not zigzagged. As a result, after about two days of this, some people were getting very sore knees. One lady was in complete tears because of the knee pain. The Sherpa guide wasn't stupid, and he had seen this before, so he taught everybody how to "walk like a Sherpa."
The typical impatient American tries to take a long complete stride when going downhill. As a result of the knee being extended so fully, when the heel strikes it transmits the impact force directly through the knee joint. About two days of that, and you are in pain. However, muscles don't get abused the same way. You need to get the impact out of the joint and into the muscle. So…
1. You walk slightly bowlegged with your toes angled slightly outward. That is simply for better balance.
2. You shorten your stride for distance, and you quicken your stride to make up the difference.
3. You lower your center of gravity slightly by flexing your knees. With your knees flexed this way, it puts the impact strain on your quadriceps muscles in the thigh, and not so much on the joint. Muscles will get tired, but they will recover quicker.
The whole trick of this is to learn to recognize when you are going into a steep descent, and then to apply this method variably just to the extent necessary to protect your knees. If you do it too deeply or too often, then it looks funny and feels funny. Practice getting in and out of the method automatically. It works. Oh, and that lady did it successfully for the rest of the 25 days and survived the trek without poles.
–B.G.–Aug 10, 2011 at 2:18 am #1767757
Bob, short quick strides here ;) Tight and compact motion. I was forced to figure this out ages ago. In fact, decades ago, the running world figured out that for any distance over a quarter mile, this is more efficient. Overnight, runners shortened their strides. I am not inclined to agree that everything that applies to running (for example this barefoot stuff) applies to walking. However, stride length observations might reasonably carry over. Such quickness makes poles a nuisance! They ARE good for probing Sierra sun cups!
Yes, I know what your are referring to, it makes me cringe in pain to watch.
Do you not use sticks…ever? As in don't own any? I do like them for snowshoeing.
PS. Speaking of lumbering along, a BPL member IM'd me that he met a BPL staff member traveling solo on the JMT a few years ago. Said he was collapsing under an 80+ litre pack. (I don't know what reminded me of that!) Ever since, I take it all with a grain of salt ;)Aug 10, 2011 at 3:34 am #1767761
Bob GrossMember
@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that a certain percentage of BPL members were once runners or joggers, at least back in their younger days. It is because of that early foundation that some of us are even able to move at all due to our advanced age. Younger days though, hmmm, that was back during the Harding Administration, I believe. We used to run from cave to cave to avoid the saber-toothed tigers.
When I was out on one section of the JMT a few days ago, I had no trekking poles. It just isn't normal for me to use anything like that outside of cross-country ski season. I used one for one season right after knee reconstruction, and I used a pair for one expedition, but normally I don't feel the need. Now, the other day I ran into something new, and that was a messy stream crossing. At first, my intention was to cross with bare wet feet and with shoes and socks dry. After a few of those chopping up my toes and ankles, and with the delay hassles of shoes and socks off and on and off again and on again, I quickly realized that changing to a stay-wet strategy was the way. Still, the crotch-deep cold water current was really fast, and I was elbow-deep trying to keep myself from being swept away. Plus, it wasn't me so much that I wanted to stay above water, but I had a few grand worth of camera gear hanging in a shoulder bag, and I had absolutely no intention of trying to dry that kind of stuff over a smoky campfire.
So, I suddenly realized the value of trekking poles or something. Not having poles along, I retreated into the forest and selected a good piece of fallen branch. It didn't need to be big and heavy, but just enough that I could hold it above water level and it probed the sharp bottom rocks and kept me upright. When there were no streams, I just stuck it in my pack's pocket. Finally, once across Muir Pass, I was doing some boot skiing with the stick as my rudder. It wasn't elegant, but I got down the hill in one piece. Once I was down past the last snow, I recycled that stick back into the forest. I did have a chest-tall camera tripod with me, so I suppose that I could have ruddered my away along with it, instead.
I did get a single 3-section collapsible metal pole and tried it out in cold water. Guess what! It collapsed! It turns out that the cold water affected the metal thermal expansion at the joints, so it slipped. Either I need to heat the stream water before my pole hits it [impractical] or else I need to tighten up the section fittings [likely].
Such is life on the trail.
–B.G.–Aug 10, 2011 at 4:31 pm #1767970
Hi Hartley – I used to use the straps all the time. However, two things happened that got me out of that habit.
First, I got into backcountry skiing. I stopped using the straps there because of the risk of breaking my thumb/hand if my pole got stuck on a branch while descending, or worse, getting caught in an avalanche.
Second, I broke a trekking pole once while hiking. The pole punched through a layer of hard snow, I fell forward with my wrist still in the strap, and my full weight pushed against the pole and snapped it in half. If I hadn't be wearing a strap, my hand would have slipped away, I would have fallen the same amount (no injury) but the pole would have survived.
So now, the only time I use the wrist straps are when I need that extra arm support of hiking quickly or going uphill.
However, that is just my preference. I certainly agree that straps can be helpful, and comfortable straps can make a big difference. The Fizan Compact straps are definitely comfortable.
Thanks to you and Bob for adding your advice on how to save your knees through better technique and pole usage.
The story about the BPL staffer loaded with an 80L pack should also be taken with a grain of salt in the sense that we testers sometimes take extra gear to test out, or load up a pack to push verify its carrying capacity.Aug 10, 2011 at 7:24 pm #1768034
Yes, no straps for tree skiing! I agree. I want a solid pole plant in a narrow chute though! I've always used breakaway straps for skiing. Perhaps, there are hiking sticks with this feature.
Overall, I think hiking sticks are a lot more dangerous than most people realize. And I am quite ambivalent about using them my self. I would never use them on scrambling terrain/boulders/etc. Amazing how often you see this! I don't bother with them for day hiking and most certainly not for running (however, several years ago I encountered groups of runners using sticks in the TMB race — no , I wasn't racing!) Sometimes, I let myself get away with sticks when carrying a pack for days at a time. I do think they encourage sloppy walking.

The Dancer/ Rita the Spanish balledora
oil on canvas
Gerald Festus Kelly (1897-1972)
by Emmanuel Mlondolozi Caluza
Kelly's The dancer (Rita) is a painting of a remarkably elegant and serene lady in a white dress. This is the largest painting in the Lorna Ferguson Room, and evokes in me a feeling of pleasure, complaisance and great admiration for a really beautiful painting.
When I think of Western history, paintings like this one can be linked to the European Renaissance, the French and Industrial Revolutions, liberalism and democracy. These packages of change brought beauty and elegance into the lives of ordinary people.
I hope the African Renaissance will one day achieve such beauty and elegance, which is commonplace in Europe and the Americas. May the Livingstones and Huddlestones of those civilizations bestow that beauty and elegance on Africa too.
May God bless the artist just as the philosopher is blessed. In the ultimate reality of things, I believe that god is an artist because of the beautiful things he has created in this world and universe.

Good stuff
Great tasting organic soy sauce. Plan to buy it repeatedly.
- Denise
Good alternative
This is a good substitute to soy sauces that are loaded with gluten, even if you're not allergic to the stuff. I'm gluten tolerant, but I wanted a healthier soy sauce without any fat, that also had low carbs, and this soy sauce has a nice full taste that brings out the flavor in meat, sauces and even soup.
- Jack R.
Full of flavor
I'm on a gluten-free diet so this soy sauce from San j is perfect for me. You can't taste any difference between this and the standard soy sauce on grocery store shelves. It's also GMO-free, and it has a pungent flavor that I especially like with my potstickers. I also use it as a dip for fresh vegetables as an alternative to dips that are loaded with fat.
- C. Anderson
GF soy sauce that tastes great
GF isn't a lifestyle that is easy to do when you realize that many GF products are not very good. I hated giving up soy sauce, but then I found this and it's really good. Another reviewer said it runs a bit thin, but it has a big flavor that I think is less salty and more fragrant than normal soy sauce. I use it in on salads, rice and in my dishes and it adds that tang that I always loved before I went GF.
- Clifford Jacobs
This is a great soy sauce and knowing it is GMO free makes it a #1 choice. I went gluten free recently and it is seriously hard to find soy sauce that does not contain wheat (what the heck?). This sauce is very good, albeit a tad runny.
It has that perfect soy flavor and brightens up every single Asian dish we make in our home. Salty goodness with that classic soy smell.

If Your Annoying Coworkers Were Indiscreet Buildings
Watch How the World's Largest LED Screen Was Installed at the Burj Khalifa
In this video, members of the engineering team behind the the world's largest LED screen explain the process behind its installation on the facade of the Burj Khalifa last year. The massive screen required 72 kilometers of cabling and 10,000 connectors to cover a total area of 33,000 square meters.
"We faced sandstorms, we faced rain, we faced heavy wind, so quite often we had to wait until we had a good slot in terms of wind to go out and do the installation," says Senior Project Manager Kris Vloemans.
The screen has been utilized for a range of different shows since it was first used to ring in the New Year in 2015. Earlier this year, the Burj Khalifa sent out an open call to artists to submit their own dynamic designs to be displayed on the building facade.
Also check out some videos of the screen in action, below.
BIG-Designed Inflatable Pavilion Lights Up Roskilde Festival
BIG Architects has designed an inflatable mobile pavilion to be displayed at three Danish events, including its original site at the Roskilde Festival 2016. Known as SKUM (Danish for foam), the structure met the challenge of creating an installation that has the ability to be both permanent and fully transportable by creating a whimsical, bubble-like form that can be blown up in just 7 minutes.
From Productivism to Scenography: The Relighting of Norman Foster's Hongkong and Shanghai Bank
Three decades ago the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank (HSBC) Headquarters by Norman Foster emerged onto the architectural seen as an exemplary product of industrial design. The open layout with its exposed steel structure generated a powerful corporate identity for the bank. But the restrained atmosphere of white architectural lighting and the lack of distinctive façade lighting has lost its attractiveness after sunset. Now the colorful and dynamic relighting presents a remarkable example of how an architectural icon has shifted from a productivist ideology towards a scenographic image. To the western observer the multicolored light language may give off a playful impression, but to the local culture the transformation evokes grandiosity.
Minus5 Architects & Studio Mr. White Propose "Art Facade" for the Burj Khalifa
The Burj Kahlifa has been the world's tallest building since 2009, and last year the Dubai-based supertall broke another record by implementing the world's largest LED-illuminated facade. Building on these accomplishments, Minus5 Architects in collaboration with Studio Mr. White, has proposed using LED technology to create scale silhouettes of architectural monuments from around the world on the facade, including the Empire State Building, Beijing's CCTV Tower, London's Shard, Toronto's CN Tower, Taipei 101, the Petronas Towers, and others.
At Kunstmuseum Basel, iart Creates a Frieze with a Technological Twist
Though it was once an essential element of all classical structures, the frieze has largely been left behind by architects looking for contemporary façade systems. But at the recently-opened addition to the Kunstmuseum Basel, designed by Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein in collaboration with design group iart, the frieze returns with an eye-catching, technological twist, as hidden pixels within the facade light up to display moving images and text to those below.
Connected Lighting: From Ethernet to Li-Fi Internet
How will our buildings change when your mobile device can receive huge amounts of data flowing from the luminaires above you? Not only has LED brought us a highly efficient light source, but a promising instrument for visible light communication (VLC) as well. Therefore light will not only be a medium to support vision, but it will also be an essential means of data communication. With the low energy consumption of LED one can even set up luminaires without mains cables for the power and just install Ethernet cables. Welcome to the world of digital lighting.
How the Science of Light Will Affect the Future of Architecture
There is arguably no aspect of architecture in which science is more influential than in the realm of lighting; from the florescent bulbs of the late 19th century to the LEDs that only became truly viable in the past decade or two, advances in the science of creating light have been quickly followed by architectural experimentation. In this excerpt from her book "Superlux: Smart Light Art, Design & Architecture for Cities," Davina Jackson recounts the tremendous advances made by lighting in the 20th and early 21st centuries, and looks forward to the next frontier - that of "smart lighting."
Today's smartest lighting innovation has no need for machine-generated power. Simply fill a clear plastic bottle with water (plus bleach) and silicon-seal it through a hole in the roof of any rudimentary shelter. Behold: daylight floods the dark interior.
PET bottles for conducting radiance, solar-powered LED lamps for night visibility and satellite-enabled smartphones to exchange instant knowledge globally: these are the 21st century's keys to illuminating billions of people living rough in settlements. Like the original campsites of London, New York, São Paulo and Sydney, some of these slums will become great global centers.
What Happens When Light Starts to Create Brand Experiences?
Global companies often exploit architectural icons to transform physical form into their desired brand reputations. To help achieve this goal, after twilight, the natural qualities of buildings have often been supplemented by architectural lighting, as the facades call unmistakeably for attention with their colorful and dynamic illumination. Representation has become the leading motivation for upgrading the lighting at headquarters and retail outlets. But when the illumination evolves into spectacular gestures, the brand identity and architecture itself starts to fade. Hence, the struggle for individuality has revived the discussion about ornament – though ornament appears now as light.
Why Good Lighting Design Has Little to Do With Lux or LEDs
Is there a designer who does not dream of the perfect lighting concept, which conveys a feeling of well-being and shows the architecture at its best? Unfortunately, however, it is often the case that the brief received from the client causes difficulties. All too often discussions are peppered with such terms as LEDs and lux levels,causing an unconscious shift in thinking in the direction of norms and technology instead of placing questions about requirements and lighting quality at the centre of discussion. But what exactly is quality lighting design?
Light Matters: A Flash Back to the Glittering Age of Las Vegas at the Neon Museum
Thanks to the increasing availability of giant LED screens, the Golden Age of Neon has quietly faded in Las Vegas. For decades casinos defined their visual identity with colorful neon signs and competed for the most innovative signage. But with casinos closing, being refurbished and the arrival of new lighting technology a lot of neon signs were replaced, and for many years the Young Electric Sign Company kept the old neon signs in their "boneyard" for storage and recycling. Fortunately historic preservation groups rescued these signs. With support of the arts council The Neon Museum was born to save neon treasures and to educate the public.
Read on to explore Las Vegas' luminous landmarks and The Neon Museum.
Choi+Shine Architects Introduces the BIT Light, a Magnetic Modular Lighting System
Developed by Choi+Shine Architects, the BIT Light is a magnetic modular lighting system that offers endless configuration possibilities which can be arranged, deconstructed and rearranged in seconds. The system's main component is the "BIT", a linear lighting element comprised of an LED light source in a translucent polycarbonate tube that provides both protection and structural support. At each end of the BIT are conductor pads which join magnetically to the small nickel connecting elements, offering infinite possibilities for arrangement either as a flat wall-mounted lighting element, a suspended configuration, or even as a self-supporting three-dimensional lighting structure.
Christmas Wars: The Fight to Hold the World Record for the Most Christmas Lights
In the ongoing battle to hold the Guinness World Record for the Most Lights on a Residential Property (aka the house-with-the-most-Christmas lights), the Gay family in LaGrangeville, New York has once again reclaimed their title. This year the family used 601,736 lights, spanning two acres and set to more than 200 songs. RITZ Crackers, part of Mondelēz International, helped the family top the record, providing 200,000 lights. The Gay family and the Richards family in Canberra, Australia, have been fighting for the title over the past three years. But not to be outdone, the Richards family took home the Guinness World Record for the Largest Image Made of LED lights for their Christmas light installation this year. The installation in Canberra used 1,194,380 lights to make a 3D image of three Christmas gifts spanning 3,865 square meters and raised money for the charity SIDS and Kids ACT. See more pictures and read more about the ongoing lights competition at City Lab and Guinness World Records.
Five Projects Awarded Prizes at the 2014 Media Architecture Biennale
The 2014 Media Architecture Biennale has drawn to a close in Aarhus, Denmark, and with it five projects have been awarded for "outstanding accomplishments in the intersection between architecture and technology." Representing five different categories (Animated Architecture, Spatial Media Art, Money Architecture, Participatory Architecture, and Trends & Prototypes), these five projects are the ones that most represent the Media Architecture Biennale's goal to advance the understanding and capabilities of media architecture.
The winners include a power plant with a shimmering chimney tower, an installation that creates "phantoms" with light, an interactive LED facade, a crowdsourced mapping system for transit in the developing world, and a kinetic "selfie facade." See videos of all five winners after the break.
Light Matters: 7 Ways Lighting Can Make Architecture More Sustainable
Sustainable lighting design offers various well-being and environmental benefits in addition to economic advantages for clients and users. Although daylight provides a free lighting source, for most spaces the amount and time of daylight is not sufficient and electrical lighting is necessary. A focus on sustainability becomes essential for minimizing energy consumption and improving the quality of life. Even though efficiency has significantly increased with LED technology, electrical lighting is still more widely used. Often the ambition for renovations or new applications goes along with a higher quantity of lighting instead of finding a better lighting quality with an adequate amount of energy.
Read on after the break for Light Matters' 7 fundamental steps to achieve sustainable lighting.
Light Matters: Smart Flying Pixels Create a Floating Glow
Imagine luminaires that could fly and visualise new buildings or individually guide you through space. What would happen if you could even interact with these flying pixels? These concepts could be realised in the near future as the first prototypes and experiments are being introduced. Software-driven LED pixels combined with drone swarm technology provide extraordinary possibilities for inducing new forms of spatial experience. These luminous pixel clouds emerge as digital patterns, but at the same time they emanate a romantic quality with their unique star formations twinkling in the night sky. The first projects have shared a playful note, but laboratories such as MIT's SENSEable City Lab, ARES Lab and Ars Electronica Futurelab have shown an intriguing future in urban design for guidance systems or envisioning real estate developments, as advances in battery technology and wireless control have opened new perspectives for a life with smart flying pixels.
Manuelle Gautrand to Revamp Paris' Alésia Cinema with Hundreds of LED "Pixels"
Renovated numerous times during its history, Gaumont-Alésia, a Parisian cinema housed in a structure that is over 80 years old, will now be revamped by firm Manuelle Gautrand Architecture. With a design that emphasizes filmography's presence in modern culture, the Gaumont-Alésia is set to become an inviting cultural hub for the surrounding city, showcasing cinema's influence on both the interior and exterior.
Both street facades will be composed of glass curtain walls shaded by pleated metal panels. These panels will be perforated by hundreds of LED "pixels" which will create an image across the pleats. Both entrances to the building become animated walls, broadcasting film stills, movie trailers, and advertisements, all meant to entice passersby. The LEDS are spaced fewer and farther apart toward the edges of the building, creating a stippling effect around the border of the images. At the entrances these animated panels will peel upwards, creating a canopy under which patrons can walk.

If you have viral pink eye but not the bacterial pink eye, can you still wear makeup?
That is a question that can only be answered by your doctor. We are not your doctor. Call your doctor.
I hav'nt got pink hair, I tell you it's not pink. Is this a question?
The answer to your question is Yes.
I'm a kinda dark black person, should I wear light pink makeup or hot pink?
Well black black skin should be hot pink, and more of a lighter skin should go with light pink. Sounds like its gonna look good.

For a life changing experience, Enquire Now!
This is a free phone message service in the UK (Monday to Friday) - if you leave your details we will contact you directly within 48 hours.
We love having families on safari – we know what it's like to travel with children and the normal safari routine sometimes doesn't suit younger travellers so we can allocate families their own guide and vehicle (extra charges may apply) in order for them to set their own routine, enjoy shorter safaris with an emphasis on child friendly activities and meal times and menus to suit.
There are plenty of safari activities ideally suited to children; many wildlife species can be seen even by our less patient visitors, and great fun can be had tracking and identifying footprints and droppings.
The African bush holds so many treasures and there are few things more rewarding than seeing the awe in a child's face as he is brought close to a herd of elephant or crouches to watch a dung beetle rolling its carefully prepared bundle across the ground.
We appreciate that whilst most families will want to stay together for their game viewing, there will also be times when the older generations want some time alone, either on a more extensive walking safari than is suited to children, or perhaps just in the bar or at dinner in the evening.
At the start of any family safari we will discuss how you want things to work. We are used to organising children's meals at special times, we offer junior game viewing checklists and activities both in the vehicles and on foot (you would be surprised how many different types of dung can be found in the bush just around camp!), and we can offer childminding services, posting a member of staff on guard outside your room whilst you relax over dinner; whilst a dedicated specialist private guide and vehicle can help ensure that the length and content of each safari drive ideally suits you and your family.
Other activities that you may wish to include in your safari holiday include visiting the local school or village, making traditional clay pots and learning to play traditional African rhythms on the drums. There are also 'Art Safaris' at the local workshop of Tribal Textiles where kids and parents alike can paint and create their very own textile piece to take home.

Once you make use of a reverse lookup directory or company to seek out license plate info, this can be usually referred to as reverse license plate look for. It works the same as a internet search engine apart from this time your searches are dependant on license plate quantities instead of basic queries free license plate lookup.

Reverse directories tend to be employed by law enforcement, private investigators and emergency providers. Some of these directories could include equally publicly accessible expert services and private companies. Many people are usually not knowledgeable that reverse license plate look for is feasible. This is the explanation why plenty of people nonetheless rely on non-public investigators to receive license plate owner information and facts.
Online reverse license plate look for is speedy and easy and anybody by having an online connection can perform it. All you need is a license plate quantity to get started on with.
Here is a quick step by move guidebook regarding how to perform a reverse license plate look for:
1. Compose down the license plate quantity that you wish to trace or investigate.
2. Take a look at a reverse license plate lookup directory.
3. Enter the license plate variety on the lookup box supplied and click over the look for button.
4. Hold out a handful of seconds for the program to locate a match within the database. If a match is found, the operator title and address will probably be shown. You could then print out or copy the data you have to have.
Conducting a reverse license plate research can assist you locate the owner of a car swiftly and cheaply. Other costlier solutions contain hiring a non-public investigator or making use of certainly one of the large on line professional private investigation products and services. Service fees for these services can be quite higher though not as high as whenever you seek the services of a non-public investigator. Working with a reverse license plate lookup listing is frequently the most cost effective and quickest selection for the majority of individuals.

Tim Farron, leader of the Liberal Democrats, has launched a national movement calling on people, irrespective of their party affiliation, to stop the Conservatives' planned Dementia Tax.
It comes alongside Liberal Democrat research that reveals that across England, 9 out 10 homes could be eligible for sale to meet Theresa May's Dementia Tax.
An announcement by the Labour Party that it would invest £45bn in the NHS and social care over five years as well as protect pensions could be rendered meaningless by Brexit, Liberal Democrats have said.
Treasury analysis from 2016 estimated that the form of Brexit supported by the Labour and Conservative parties - a negotiated bilateral agreement as opposed to membership of the single market - would rob public services of £36bn EACH YEAR. A botched Brexit could cost the Exchequer up to £45 billion a year. The government has neither formally rejected this analysis nor commissioned new figures since the referendum.
A new survey for The Independent has found the majority of the public is now in favour of banning the most-polluting vehicles from city centres.
Some 51 per cent of respondents agreed with this suggestion, with only 15 per cent against and the remainder not expressing a view, pollsters ORB said.
Commenting on the reports which shows the public back the Liberal Democrat policy of banning the most-polluting cars from city centres, Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary Jenny Randerson said: "The air we allow our children to breathe is toxic and is leading to a national health crisis.
The Liberal Democrats have withdrawn their Party Election Broadcast that was due to air on BBC One in England this evening. The party is replacing it with a heartfelt, personal and non-political message from leader Tim Farron following the heinous attack in Manchester on Monday.
In the emotive and deeply personal message, recorded yesterday, he reflects on his experience of visiting Manchester for the vigil in Albert Square on Tuesday night.
Tim Farron, leader of the Liberal Democrats, has announced that the party has suspended all national campaigning until further notice. Tim was due to fly to Gibraltar today as part of the general election campaign but has cancelled the trip.
Tim Farron said: "The country is united in grief after this devastating terror attack. Just as the country is focusing all its thoughts on the victims and their families, so politicians should come together in solidarity and respect for the innocent people caught up in this vile attack.
The Liberal Democrats recently distributed a letter signed by Dr Clare Gerada setting out her view on the challenges facing the NHS.
Clare absolutely stands by those comments however the letter did contain incorrect details regarding Clare's time at the Royal College of General Practitioners. We thank Clare for publicising her concerns about our NHS and apologise for the drafting error. Here is the correct version of Clare's letter:
With the announcement of the Conservative manifesto today, Theresa May has shown her true colours. I've scarcely seen a colder, more mean-spirited agenda in my entire career.
There's no doubt about it: the Nasty party is back. The Tories are hitting families from cradle to grave by snatching school lunches from children and homes from the elderly.
A couple of weeks ago, in Kidlington near Oxford, I met a guy called Malcolm. I say met…he came up to me in the street and started shouting at me.
You might have seen it on the news. Or the internet.
In the end we actually got along. But he was angry with me for not getting behind Theresa May and backing Brexit. I think I calmed him down a bit when we spoke, but I don't think I changed his mind.
The Liberal Democrats have launched their manifesto for a brighter future.
Change Britain's Future is a plan for a fairer Britain where people are decent to each other, with good schools and hospitals, a clean environment and an innovative economy.
Nothing is more important to our children's future than Brexit. A bad Brexit deal, with Britain outside the single market, will wreck the future for our children, our economy and our schools and hospitals. That's why at the heart of the manifesto is a commitment to give the people the final say on the Brexit deal in a referendum.
This week Labour pledged an additional £37 billion of NHS funding, which sounds to me, as Shadow Health Secretary, like poorly-thought-out, pie in the sky policy.
You can't solve the crisis in our NHS and social care services by simply imposing more top-down targets on staff and plucking numbers out of thin air.

When it comes about the place, you might think that we are waiting for another bloody massacre, but did not so no bloody battles will not, will not be shooting, there will be fights. However, the site will still be done, and offenders can not escape from it!
Game developers have prepared a Magic Cube, who like the pixels so that the pixel game, but looks great no matter what. And we have a story that will help you understand the main character and the reasons for which he stood on the warpath with the banks.
Once he had previously served as CEO of a young growing IT-company, but the bank refused to support him, it destroyed most of his company and life, sin is not for revenge, so it's time to break the bank!
Many IT people know that it is better not to offend, this game will be one more proof of that! True implementation of the game was quite questionable from the standpoint of reality, but it also will not teach you rob banks? However, the first stolen the money will have to buy a new mouse, keyboard and computer hardware, all this somehow affects the performance and final amount that you receive. Anyway, the game though is a pretty good time-killer, but it is difficult to play here and it is quickly bored ...
Features Very Bad Company:
Cons Very Bad Company:
The result: the approach and the plot of the game is definitely worthy of a lot of good reviews, but over the pricing policy and the gameplay is more work.

As anyone who got the Longhorn developer bits at the PDC should have had well drilled
into them – this is a developer preview release. This is the earliest in the
product cycle we've ever given out bits without requiring stringent NDAs, to the best
of my knowledge (although the first beta of Windows 2000 – Windows NT 5.0 as it was
known at the time – was pretty ropey too). You have to treat pre-beta bits with special
tender-loving care: they've not had widespread testing on the broad array of machines
that exist out there in the real world. I should know this by now, having played around
with a few earlier internal builds over the last couple of months. How then did I
manage to make so many stupid mistakes when trying to install Longhorn on my machine?!
Here are five lessons I've learnt – in the vain hope I can save someone else from
making the same basic errors!
Make sure your notebook is not attached to a docking station when you install Longhorn.
This is something that most notebook manufacturers call out in the manual that nobody
reads; in my case, when I rebooted Longhorn it wasn't able to detect the external
monitor, which resulted in all kinds of amusing efforts to blindly shut Windows down
from a laptop keyboard that could only just be opened without breaking the docking
Don't bother installing it as a Virtual PC image unless you have a seriously well-specified
machine; certainly not if you plan to play around in any depth with the sample applications
that ship as part of the SDK. By well-specified, I mean a machine with more than 1GB
RAM, a 3GHz processor, and ideally a separate hard drive / controller for the Longhorn
image. I could swear that I heard the sound of laughter from my laptop when I fired
up Longhorn for the first time as a Virtual PC image. (On the other hand, installing
Windows Server 2003 / Whidbey / Yukon works a treat in a Virtual PC, and I've been
using this combination quite happily since spring.)
Don't install the Longhorn SDK until you've installed Whidbey – if you want the integrated
Longhorn support in Whidbey, that is. In my favour, the instructions for this aren't
exactly obvious – they're buried deep within the Longhorn SDK release notes – and
who on earth reads that kind of thing? 🙂 Having installed these two in the wrong
order, I tried reinstalling the Longhorn SDK, but the designer support was still missing
from Whidbey. In the end, I gave up and flattened the partition (again).
Make sure you've got a valid product key ahead of time if you're going to install
Longhorn via the bootable CD. There's nothing more frustrating than getting half-way
through the setup process only to discover that the pesky 25-character activation
code is only available online. At least we've now moved it a little earlier in the
process than was the case with previous OS releases. Time for yet another reboot…
If you think it's hung, wait twenty minutes and come back before presuming it's completely
dead. If you're in the hardware detection phase of setup and are using Virtual PC,
try waiting overnight! If you think this is unacceptable, try waiting for Beta 1!
Being on the "bleeding edge" has risks – but also plenty of rewards. I'm looking forward
to getting to the rewards bit soon…

But Financial Mail understands that rescue plans by banks and bondholders would leave ordinary investors with shares worth less than a third of their current stock market value.
Banks and bondholders will meet early this week to discuss the plans, but no resolution is expected before Marconi's annual results, due on Thursday. Marconi's shares closed on Friday at just over 11p, valuing the telecoms company at £306m, but the restructuring is likely to value the stake of ordinary shareholders at between £50m and £100m.
The shares slumped to 5.82p a month ago, but recovered because of buying, mainly by small investors hopeful that a rescue would boost the share price.
If the restructuring goes ahead, Marconi's banks, headed by Barclays and HSBC, and bondholders - mainly US hedge funds - would control about 90% of the shares. Though Marconi has £1.4bn in cash, it has total debts of £4.26bn, leaving its future at the mercy of the banks and bondholders.
The proposal is to keep £850m cash, which has been ring-fenced to prevent Marconi using it, writing off £1.4bn of debt and lending Marconi £1bn under new terms. The remaining £1bn of debt would be swapped for shares in Marconi, with banks and bondholders offering existing shareholders between five and 10% of the shares.
Marconi's existing shareholders need to approve any restructuring, but because of the company's level of debt, the banks and bondholders could pull the plug on the business.
John Walter, an analyst with independent research firm Equity Investigator, said the recent rise in the share price was unjustified. 'People do not realise how heavily share prices would be affected if the restructuring comes off.'
There has been speculation over management changes, including the possible departure of chief executive Mike Parton, following the restructuring, but banks and bondholders are not thought to want wholesale board changes. At their peak two years ago, Marconi's shares fetched 1250p.

Onwards to Ál'vain
"Wake up! Adam?"
My eyes fluttered open as I woke from my painful slumber. I looked around. We were right by the Síeth River, and Gwendolyn had just dropped a pile of wood onto the ground. I sat up, and pain tore through me as I did, making me wish that I hadn't moved in the first place. I looked at the firewood before me. Then, waving my hands over it, I spoke the word for fire. "Breïnir," I said. There was a bright spark, and then I fell backwards, gasping for air.
"Are you okay?!" she asked, running over and kneeling next to me. "Rule one: know your limitations. If you use up too much energy and do too many spells, you could die. You're poisoned! Why would you try that kind of thing? Even the simplest spell could kill you!" Gwendolyn turned away as I recovered and grabbed two rocks. She began rubbing and clacking them together until she made a brightly lit fire. Then, she pushed small bits of sand over the fire to mask the smoke that would flutter up from the bright flames. "I don't want to send up a red flag telling Seniphos's army where we are," she said, not elaborating.
"I'm tired," I said. "I only slept for what? An hour?"
"Two," she said. "You should eat. I'll find food." The pain that was raging through my body was unbearable, and I had lost all feeling in my right leg, left arm and shoulder. I couldn't move my leg, and when moved, my arm shot screaming pain through me.
I'm going to die, I thought. I am going to die!
Gwendolyn closed her eyes, and a felt something wash over me. "What are you doing?" I asked. She did not answer. Instead, she stood, and limped over in the other direction, and stopped about fifty meters off. Then, she produced a silver dagger from her thin pants and stabbed at the ground. She returned with a face as solemn as if she'd just been mourning, holding two lizards.
"What did you do?"
"I extended my consciousness to find a desert animal," she said.
"What's wrong?"
"I am an elf," she said. "We cherish all living things. We do not kill animals."
"Would you rather die?" I asked. She said, in a lighter mood, impaling the lizards on a stick, then looked away. When she looked back she resumed her work.
When the lizards had been cooked and skinned, she handed on to me. "Eat up."
"This looks gross! I'm supposed to eat this?"
"If you want to live any longer, then yes," she said. I took it and examined it. Then, I bit into the roasted piece of meat, cringing as he chewed the gruesome food and plugging my nose while I swallowed it so that I didn't have to taste it anymore. I gagged as I felt the lump of lizard meat slide down my throat.
"This is disgusting!" I exclaimed.
"If you don't eat, then you will die," she said.
"Why aren't you eating it, then?" I asked, swallowing another piece.
"I am an elf," I said. "I can't eat a living creature knowing that in once lived as well! Animals are humans in different shapes and forms. I would not eat a human, so why should I eat an animal?" I pondered her point for a moment, and before I knew it, I had finished the lizard meat. I looked at her as she stared at me with her bright, emerald coloured eyes, and then spoke again. "It's alright, you're only human. I've heard the thoughts of an animal, seen what it has seen. I've been in their place. Inadequacy of understanding can only be foreseen on your part. You will soon learn that elves live differently than humans do. Now, we should head towards Ál'vain." She pointed ahead to what seemed like a small village that we hadn't seen before. Smoke smoldered and billowed up in thick clouds from the village.
"There's a village in the middle of the desert?"
"The Nomads built a village here because they were scared of my people, the elves, for we were very protective about our residences. Intrusions were not taken lightly back then. The Nomads were killed off when they would enter our homes to try to steal or do whatever else they do. They can't do magic, so you don't need to worry. Just don't stare at them for too long. They'll get upset with you for it. We're just going there for the night, and then we'll start running again. It should only take about an hour to get there. And it'll be easy to get in, because there are no gates." She poured sand over the flames until the flames dimmed to embers, and then she stomped out the embers. She kicked the firewood away, covered up the whole place where the campfire had been with sand, and then scooped me up into her arms. "Ready?"
"Not really," I said, and she began to run towards the village that lied ahead of our path.
