Abnormalities in the anterior interhemispheric connections provided by the corpus callosum (CC) have long been implicated in bipolar disorder (BD). In this study, we used complementary diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) methods to study the structural integrity of the CC and localization of potential abnormalities in BD.
Subjects included 33 participants with BD and 40 healthy comparison participants. Fractional anisotropy (FA) measures were compared between groups using region of interest (ROI) methods to investigate the anterior, middle and posterior CC and voxel-based methods to further localize abnormalities.
In ROI-based analyses, FA was significantly decreased in the anterior and middle CC in the BD group (P<0.05). Voxel-based analyses similarly localized group differences to the genu, rostral body and anterior midbody of CC (P<0.05, corrected).
The findings demonstrate abnormalities in the structural integrity of the anterior CC in BD which may contribute to altered inter-hemispheric connectivity in this disorder.
The anterior corpus callosum (CC) has been implicated in bipolar disorder (BD) since at least 1903 when Starr described symptoms detected after anterior CC lesions similar to those of BD, such as "undue excitement, causeless laughter, unusual crying, great depression and a lack of harmony between the association of ideas and the state of feeling which they should awaken" (1). An early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of cerebral morphology in BD detected mid-sagittal CC area decreases (2). Subsequent structural MRI studies provided further evidence for CC white matter abnormalities in BD including in volume, signal intensity and structural integrity (3–5), although reports varied in the CC subregions studied and regional differences detected. In this study, complementary diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) region of interest (ROI) and voxel-based methods were used to study the structural integrity of CC white matter in BD and assess the regional localization of differences. Anterior CC reductions in FA in BD were anticipated.
The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders Version 2.0 (SCID) (6) confirmed the presence or absence of Axis I Disorders and mood state at scanning for the 33 BD and 40 healthy comparison (HC) participants studied. Symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) (7) and Clinician-Administered Rating Scale for Mania (CARS-M) (8). No subject had a history of neurological illness, head trauma with loss of consciousness over 5min. or major medical disorder, except 4 female BD participants with treated hypothyroidism. HCs did not have a history of Axis I disorder themselves or in their first-degree relatives. Table 1 and Table 2 provide sample details, including socioeconomic status (SES) (9), and clinical features of BD participants. After a complete description of the study, written informed consent was obtained from all participants in accordance with the human investigation committees of the Yale School of Medicine and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Diffusion-weighted images were acquired on a 3T Trio MR scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) with a single-shot echo planar imaging sequence in alignment with the anterior commissure-posterior commissure (AC-PC) plane. Diffusion sensitizing gradients were applied along 32 non-colinear directions uniformly distributed on a unit sphere: b-value=1000s/mm2, together with a non-diffusion weighted acquisition (b-value=0) (TR=7400ms, TE=115ms, FOV=256×256mm2, matrix=128×128, slice thickness=3mm without gap,40 slices, 1 average). High resolution structural images were acquired with a three-dimensional Magnetization Prepared Rapid Acquisition Gradient Echo T1-weighted sequence for anatomical determinations (TR=1500ms, TE=2.83ms, FOV=256×256mm2, matrix=256×256, slice thickness=1.0 mm without gap,160 slices,2 averages).
DTI data were processed with BioImage Suite (www.bioimagesuite.org). Diffusion-weighted data were interpolated to 2mm thickness along the coronal-oblique direction with in-plane resolution of 1mm×1mm, and denoised by a three-dimensional isotropic Gaussian kernel with sigma 1mm full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM). Diffusion tensor matrices and regional fractional anisotropy (FA) were calculated (10). The absolute red-green-blue color-encoding scheme defined the directionality of the principal eigenvector: left-right fibers in red, anterior-posterior in green and superior-inferior in blue (Figure 1). The middle sagittal slice was determined on the AC-PC aligned T1-images (11) to which DTI data were coregistered with Bioimage Suite software. The CC was delineated on the mid-sagittal slice and subdivided into three subregions of equal length (Figure 1). Mean FA was calculated separately for these anterior, middle and posterior subregions. Interrater reliability coefficients for the subregion delineations were 0.95–0.97.
DTI data reslicing and smoothing were performed with BioImage Suite software. After diffusion tensor matrices and FA were calculated, FA maps were normalized with SPM5 (http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm) to the Montreal Neurological Institute space using a white matter tissue probability map as a template and spatially smoothed by an 8 mm FWHM Gaussian kernel. The CC was defined by WFU Pick Atlas Tool (http://www.fmri.wfubmc.edu/download.htm).
Statistical analyses were conducted using SAS software, version 9.1 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). FA values were tested for normality using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistics and normal probability plots. A linear mixed model was used in which diagnostic group (HC vs. BD) represented a between-subjects factor and CC subregion (anterior, middle, posterior) was a within-subjects factor. The interaction between diagnostic group and subregion was modeled. Age and sex were considered as covariates but were not significant and therefore dropped for parsimony. Least square means and standard errors were computed from the model and plotted to interpret diagnosis effects.
Post-hoc exploratory analyses were performed for potential main effects of clinical factors on FA among BD participants. Clinical factors examined included rapid cycling, mood state, psychotropic medication at scanning, and history of substance related disorders overall and alcohol related disorders. Spearman Correlation analyses were performed to test for relationships between FA and HAMD or CARS-M scores.
Differences between HC and BD groups were assessed using two-sample (HC and BD) t-tests in SPM with FA values as the dependent variables. Findings in CC were considered significant for P<0.005 (uncorrected) and clusters >100 voxels. Furthermore, to minimize the chance of type I error, small volume correction (SVC) was used to correct multiple comparisons within the CC with false discovery rate of P<0.05.
The BD and HC groups did not differ significantly in age, sex or SES scores (P's >0.1). Data adhered to a normal distribution.
The main effect of diagnosis was statistically significant [F(1,71)=11.2,P=0.001]; FA was significantly lower in the BD than the HC group. Subregional analyses, Bonferroni-corrected for 3 subregions, confirmed the presence of significant FA decreases in BD in the anterior (Pbonf=0.01) and middle CC (Pbonf<0.001) (Figure 2). Exploratory analyses did not reveal significant main or interactive effects of ethnicity overall (P's>0.7), clinical factors within the BD group (P's>0.5) on CC FA, or correlations between CARS-M or HAMD scores and FA values (P's>0.2).
FA was significantly reduced in the genu, rostral body and anterior midbody of CC (P<0.005, uncorrected, Figure 3). The difference remained significant after SVC was performed (P=0.02, corrected).
Using complementary ROI-and voxel-based DTI methods, we found decreased FA values in the participants with BD compared to HC participants in anterior and middle CC subregions encompassing the genu, rostral body and the anterior portion of the midbody. The interhemispheric white matter connections of the CC are critical to interhemispheric communication and to the integration of emotional, cognitive, motor and sensory information. Abnormalities in interhemispheric functioning in BD have been theorized previously (12, 13). Specifically, CC fibers coursing through the anterior CC regions in which differences were detected provide connectivity between right and left prefrontal cortices as well as anterior cingulate and insula (14). These CC regions are implicated in emotional dysregulation (1) and in the hemispheric lateralization of prefrontal abnormalities associated with acute mood states of BD (15). Significant associations between CC FA and clinical features of BD were not detected; however, our ability to detect effects could have been limited by inadequate statistical power.
In a recent DTI study of 11 BD and 10 HC adults that sampled two focal ROIs in the CC genu and splenium, increased FA was detected only in the genu (4). The different direction of the findings could relate to differences between subject samples or imaging methods. The methods used herein permitted examination of the full CC length. We found differences that covered a larger genu region and that extended to the anterior midbody, implicating a larger section of the anterior CC in BD. The complementary ROI- and voxel-based DTI methods used yielded consistent results and drew upon the relative strengths of each method (16). ROI-based DTI permitted testing in specific subregions of the CC and minimized the risk of a type I error, whereas voxel-based DTI permitted further localization within the CC. Neither study detected significant group differences in subregional diffusivity (Supplementary Materials). Furthermore, we did not detect differences in CC cross-sectional areas (Supplementary Materials). Taken together, the studies suggest that DTI FA measures may be relatively sensitive to the CC white matter abnormalities of BD.
Bipolar disorder frequently co-occurs with substance related disorders (17). To attempt to balance generalizability of the findings, and potential effects of substances on white matter, we included only BD participants who were in full remission from substance related disorders for at least 1 year. Medication exposure of the BD participants is another potential confound of this study. Although we did not detect significant effects of these factors, and evidence suggests that effects of chronic alcohol and other substances of abuse on the CC may be at least partially reversible with remission (18, 19), power may have been limited and these analyses did not take into account previous exposures. Further work is necessary to definitively differentiate white matter integrity alterations related to BD from those resulting from medication or substance exposure.
The majority of our BD participants reported symptom onset in adolescence. Interestingly, the CC reaches its maximal myelination in late adolescence/early adulthood (20), a time period coinciding with this peak in the onset of BD, suggesting that further study of CC development in adolescence/early adulthood in BD may help to elucidate a neurodevelopmental mechanism contributing to the disorder.

Five things to know about tonight's NHL games ...
1) Penguins, Bruins, Blackhawks and Avalanche can clinch. More playoff spots could be earned tonight depending on a number of scenarios, which you can find here.
2) Tuukka Rask looks out for TD Garden visiting locker room. Via the Boston Globe, Rask on the Blackhawks coming back to town since the infamous "17 seconds" game: "Probably brings some good memories to them. At least this time they're not going to wreck our visiting locker room, I hope."
3) Red Wings still waiting for Pavel Datsyuk. The "Magic Man" is still working back from a knee injury and doing everything he can to avoid having surgery.
4) Logan Couture 50/50 to play. After missing Tuesday's game in Edmonton, Couture is questionable to hit the ice against the Jets tonight. Couture was feeling the effects from a blocked shot and said he'll take the warmup before deciding whether or not he'll play.
5) Ted Nolan is a wise man:
Sabres Ted Nolan on blocking Shea Weber shots: "We've got some guys who are brave, but being brave and being smart are two different things"
— John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) March 27, 2014
Bold prediction: Blackhawks score a late goal (sound familiar?) and beat the Bruins in a shootout. Teuvo Teravainen opens his NHL account.

12 Holiday Songs…is part of a series. To read them in order: Day One: Sara Bareilles' Love Is Christmas
9. Christina Perri, Something About December
When my friend Patrick Pocklington invited my boyfriend Rich and I to see his artist Jason Mraz at Jones Beach in September, we immediately said "yes" because we're both big fans. Especially Rich—he just fell in love with Jason the first time we saw him live. Of course, Jason was wonderful—he always is—but the surprise of the evening turned out to be his opening act Christina Perri.
Perri broke through when her song Jar of Hearts was featured on an episode of So You Think You Can Dance in 2010 and subsequently charted. Seeing as I never watch TV and don't listen to commercial radio, I had never heard the song. At Jones Beach I was impressed with her poise and ineffable loveliness onstage and a completely appealing short set of songs from her debut album Lovestrong.
Naturally I was also drawn to the irresistibly cheery/cheesy title of her just-released Christmas EP: A Very Merry Perri Christmas, and its standout track Something About December which blew me away—easily the best new original holiday song of the year. Here is the studio version plus the official video, which will convey a more complete sense of why I am smitten! Enjoy!
I found this incredible little video by this wildly gifted 9 year old kid J.D. while I was preparing this piece.

Change your lifestyle for a healthy 2011!
Posted by Royal Sundaram on 17 Dec 2010
A man once asked Lord Mahaveer "What is the most intriguing thing you find about mankind."
Lord Mahaveer replied "They lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore health. By thinking anxiously about future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor for the future."
Isn't this true? We work hard to earn, plan the future and manage our careers, but we completely ignore our health!
Let us amend the habit of sidelining our wellbeing. It is time to bring change; we say, sooner, the better! New Year is round the corner, so, pull out your Resolutions Diary today and jot down these valuable healthy resolutions.
Resolution 1 – Eat a lot but Healthy!
Eat of lot of fresh salads and fruits. It's nature's gift, packed with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and fibre. Take efforts to make your diet a balanced one, with the right amount of nutrients. Increase your water intake to the recommended quantity.
Resolution 2 – Avoid too much fried food.
Try to avoid fried food and beverages high in sugar. The bad fat in fried food finds its way to the arteries and clogs it, especially trans-fat. Even if you do eat fried food once in a while, limit your intake. Food high in sugar ends up as flab. Also, restricting the intake of salt will be helpful.
Resolution 3 – Exercise.
Make it fun, sweat it out! You probably could have predicted this resolution in the list, but healthy diet accompanied with exercise is proven funda for healthy living! Try to include at least a half-an-hour walk in your day's routine. If you can afford it, become a member at a gym. If you find the exercise routine in gym boring, join with friends to play some outdoor games – badminton, cricket or basketball. Swimming is refreshing and an excellent alternative, provided you beat the hunger there after with fibre rich diet.
Resolution 4 – Sleep tight.
Sleep is an important 'activity', as your body rejuvenates while you sleep. Push aside worries and work, and leap on the bed for a good 8 hours. Exercise can be really helpful for a good sleep. You'd notice that your work efficiency, mood and concentration improve with better sleep!
Resolution 5 – Go for a regular health check up.
No matter how insignificant a problem seems – constant tiredness, lack of sleep, headaches, do consult a doctor to get to the root of problem and get appropriate treatment. If you are above 40, it's a good idea to go for a master health check up to pin point diseases at an early stage.
Resolution 6 – Quit!
Quit smoking and excessive drinking. You probably are aware of its ill-effects, how smoking affects your heart, lungs and how excessive drinking can affect your liver, but it's time to make serious efforts to quit. You'd see the benefits of 'quitting' as you make progress!
These resolutions are the basic key to good health. A good life begins with a healthy body.

thoughts on: The Three Musketeers
I alternated reading and listening to this. I expected to enjoy it more than I did, having loved The Count of Monte Cristo. It has two distinct parts, the first, being primarily about D'Artagnan, delights with comedy. Dumas is very sly, making constant jests about the morals and character of the time. Had the entire book followed this pattern, I'd have liked it more.
The latter third focuses on the infamous Lady de Winter, and that was melodrama, made painful by the awful rendition of female voice by the narrator. Chapter upon chapter of her seduction of Felton were excruciating. I think I would have been better off reading that portion.
Overall, though, I did enjoy it, and I'm looking forward to discussing it at book club this month.

Hero of my childhood D'Artagnan, and I read it in French being French. Not my favorite book though. Enjoy your book club.
To answer your question yes that is my garden!
Hope you have started the year well. xxx

Ok, I keep subscribing to your blog but it never shows up in my google reader, and I don't notice until I come here directly that I'm missing posts (I am sure this is user error and not your blog, I'm just telling you why you get a bunch of comments in a row from me...catching up!)
I also really loved The Count of Monte Cristo, and enjoyed but didn't love The Three Musketeers. But the narrator can really make or break a book when you're listening, huh? I remember listening to The Historian and it switches narrators so jarringly that I just couldn't listen. If you listen to a lot of audiobooks there's an audiobook challenge you might be interested in. Let me know if you are and I'll find the link for you.

isn't it amazing how the narrators makes such a difference. 3 Musketeers wasn't a favourite of mine either - we always stopped short of the seduction but the kids liked the first bit.

2011 Kia Optima
2011 Kia OptimaEnlarge Photo
Kia Optima
Price: $19,690 (LX)
Overall Rating: 8.7
Key Takeaway: Kia simply gets it; basic doesn't have to be boring, and the 2011 Kia Optima shows that mid-size sedan shoppers don't have to settle to design boredom or a lack of features.
Strongest Attributes: Safety, Features, Green
The 2011 Kia Optima is very closely related to the 2011 Hyundai Sonata—and they both earn an excellent 8.7 Overall Rating—but the Optima is the one to make this list because of its somewhat lower base price. With top crash-test ratings from both agencies, it's one of the safest mid-size sedans on the market; it's also one of the best-equipped, with Bluetooth standard even on the base model; and the base Optima's EPA ratings of 24 mpg city, 35 highway are at the head of the class while performance is lively from the 198-hp engine. With a quicker Turbo version of the Optima already out and a high-mileage Hybrid soon to arrive, shoppers willing to spend a little more have some exciting options.

Polokwane - Embattled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema was elected to the ANC's provincial executive committee (PEC) in Limpopo on Tuesday - but had to settle for 17th place.
Malema secured 592 votes, out of 1 088 votes cast, which meant he received the third least votes of the 20 people elected.
He is now among the 20 people from African National Congress (ANC) provincial chair Cassel Mathale's camp who will serve in the new PEC.
Malema is known to be Mathale's close ally.
Malema, who is appealing his five-year suspension by the ruling party's national disciplinary committee, was 17th to be called out by an electoral official announcing the results.
A woman came out number one. Lydia Komape, a member of the veterans league, received 641 votes, followed by ANC provincial spokesperson David Masondo's 638 votes in second place.
Malema was suspended two months ago by the ANC's national disciplinary committee for sowing division and bringing the ANC into disrepute.
His nomination to the PEC list was widely expected despite concerns from some delegates who expressed outrage over his possible inclusion in the ruling party's provincial leadership.
Still ANC member
They questioned the constitutionality of Malema's nomination and inclusion.
Newly elected provincial secretary Soviet Lekganyane told journalists on Monday that Malema had every right to occupy leadership positions in the ANC because he was not suspended yet, and remained a member of the ruling party.
Lekganyane said in the event the appeals committee ruled against Malema, the PEC would take note of that but that at the moment, he was a member nominated democratically.
It is believed that Mathale's re-election has given the youth leader a political lifeline and base from which he can mount a comeback.
Earlier this year Malema joked that he did not want a job in government. Speaking at the University of the Western Cape, Malema said he had no desire to go into Parliament or become a minister.
While the elections agency continues with its work, delegates discussed conference declarations in a closed session at the University of Limpopo's Turfloop campus, where the provincial elective conference was taking place.
"They questioned the constitutionality of Malema's nomination and inclusion" So does million others.
592 idiots voted for him...
@ squeegee, that's surprising, I thought there are a lot more idiots than that in Limpopo ...
Malema won't even make the news anymore from 2012 onwards. Oh how the clueless have fallen.
Agreed. He's a buffoon straight out of a comic strip, as the fat stupid oaf in the group.
This is the opportunity for opposition parties to use this scenario to get more votes on their side.What is happening in Limpopo is promotion of anarchy in this country
Is N24 conditioning the people by conveying a false sense of security? I am the very last person who can be deemed a supporter of JM,but the fact is that he was elected. That is the REAL face of the ANC- dont hide it from the people or pretend that there is no reason for concern.
@John "why are you worried as whites" i normaly don't judge people but your statement says to me that your are clearly a racist.
Why do you insult people improve your argument DO NOT STOOP.before you jump around i'm an african like you
Well done Malema...at least both feet are in...next time u will be on the top again.Keep pushing....u are South Africa's hope.
This would be the perfect time for the Hawks to swoop in and burst this lunatic's bubble!!
The single most important factor about " nationalization " is:
It has not succeeded in '100' countries over '100' years.
The countries which have tried it have FAILED, and are moving AWAY from " nationalization ".
Russia, China, India, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, etc, etc. ALL FAILED.
Not only did the TOTAL CONTROL OF THE ECONOMY fail, but also the TOTAL CONTROL OF THE PEOPLE fail.
Malema, Cosatu, ANC do not have any trick, ace, or advantage of any kind that makes it possible for nationalization to succeed in South Africa.
There are comparable samples of same populations trying TOTAL CONTROL and FREEDOM ECONOMICS:
Germany, freedom success, East Germany, nationalization failure.
South Korea, freedom success, North Korea, nationalization failure.
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, freedom success, China, nationalization failure.
Western Europe, freedom success, Eastern Europe, nationalization failure.
Malema, Cosatu, ANC are guilty of ignorance, incompetence, negligence, abortion, murder, Genocide.
@John ... i disagree with your strong opinion...there is no single country in the world with 100% free market model it does not work.Neither 100% nationalization as you said.. each country is different and need to permute its own ratios of the two based on what forces at play.Actually , in the last 10 yrs countries with more nationalised economies has done very well than the free market model which has led to the current global recession . Nationalising part of the economy is very normal and in some special cases like south African minerals it will work well for local people and their companies . The same thing happens across Europe , Norway oil , UK north sea oil , UK banks were nationalised 2 yrs ago and now owned by tax payer...the list goes on and on.So please let local people have their God given resources period.Do not lie and spread your rubbish.
@ Peter, good point about economies being a mix of free market and state controlled, however the examples you point out are not correct. There were a few UK banks which were nationalised due to bankrupcy, but will be re floated. North Sea (UK or Norway) oil was never nationalised. You are mixing up with royalties from resources, which is already the case in SA. The people own the resources, and private companies pay a royalty to produce. This is far different from Nationalisation where the Government takes over and runs private Companies.
3rd least votes, but guaranteed to be 1st most vocal, noisy, arrogant, annoying, ignorant, stupid, chauvenistic, neanderthalic...
Your reply is half true:
But there was NO PRIVATE SECTOR in ALL communist countries, that is why they decided TO CHANGE!
While FREE WORLD countries do have a mix;
But all my observations remain TRUE: the anc SA government has not run anything SUCCESSFULLY.
they are a DISASTER and a SHAME.
This is disturbing, the international community watches these things and this will not be sending a good message to the world at large. The democratic credibility of the ANC is steadily being eroded. Before any of the ANC apologists start screaming, this is not an democratic election, if it was, then ALL voters in the province would be voting, not just the select few that have already more than adequately demonstrated their lack of fiscal accountability
mr grant i'm very sorry to hear your comment and i really respect efforts you are making but this has got nothing to do with the international communities.
Actually John I think it does, with Malema chasing away international investors they keep a close eye on the proceedings. From being suspended to getting a better position I think make them see more clearer what a joke our government is.
@John. I have no intention of insulting you personally. This attitude that you display which is so prevalent is problematic. No country lives in isolation, we live within a global world and are dependant on that international community. Just one small example: a large amount of cash is donated for aids relief from the international community, this saves you and me from having to find all of it. If these donors are concerned as to the proper use of that cash, they will stop donating - will you pay more income tax to make up for it? This is simplistic but I hope I have made my point.
Come on dude;this is democrazy.y worry about wht others think?
Don't bother with him.If he can come on here and make a stupid statement like that, then he has never gotten onto a plane, never seen another country, and his sun is setting, he is just viewing the world through his own 3D glasses.
@Grant. "Being" eroded? Bit out of date ou boet - did you not notice the necklace?
Correct ,Grant i do not understand how can anyone elect someone with questionable credentials.I do not think history is there to teach all of us.Some people use this flawed system of ANC to propel themselves in amassing wealth. This 1000 or so delegates are just a bunch of anarchists
@Activity Bookings, @grant..to be honest...very few investors are much interested in South Africa now a-days.We are simple aware that the country will go through a difficult phase in the next 7-15yrs and long term investors are not interested for the time being...altho the country has potential. Its actually Africa which is attracting top buck and will continue to do so in the next ten year simple because the disparities between the haves and have-not is not that big which provides the stability needed for the emerging markets .For RSA , please go through your phase and we shall check you later.
@Grant & Activity Bookings, stop being Mugabes or Gadaffis these people were allowed to vote in that sense they elected their favourite choice, what does the Const of our country says about freedom of choice with you
@sam, I was not invited to vote
@Peter, I agree 100%, what is the reason why international investors is not interested in SA. Maybe this article have something to do with it. Can we say the word BANANA? or Zimbabwe?
you are trying to make a point but the investors are somehow helping themselves.i want to tell you something about investors. i work for one of the biggest pulley manufacturing company in gauteng and the same investors you are talking about are telling people the very same things you are telling me about investors.every white man claim to be an investor and you keep threathning people that investors will go away.The truth is that investors are going nowhere;their mission is to make more money from poor south africans in the name of investors.The investors are lying in the face of poor south africans .i don't care how you think about me i'm just a racist like you guys and i support malema all the way and i don't care even if you call me an idiot like those 592 idiots voted for malema as you guys said recently.
John, you must be confusing investors with the anc government. Investors try to enrich companies, countries and the people they care about. Your julias and anc are trying to enrich themselves, pity you don't see that, or are you on the thrown of a tender?
@John. You just proved how uneducated you are. In other words... You are an idiot.
@Activity Bookings...partly no and partly yes.The events happening in South Africa are expected from a country which is as young as yours.This is actually a positive force altho many people here will disagree because they take self interests into the equation.This is part of social development and awareness which you have to go through.I am not saying there is no investment coming in...there is but investors are very cautious and its not time.U mentioned Zimbabwe in your comment...actually , a lot of investors have an eye on Zimbabwe and are keen to invest provided conditions improve and assets are affordable.Zimbabwe has gone through its own phase and in the next 10 yrs its likely to emerge as an economic powerhouse again...but we want to avoid one region being more superior than the other..so we will keep suppressing Zim down till countries like Mozambique move up the scale ...this is happening in every continent...to shape the world into one global village.
Phuti, have you forgotten that it was the international community which ultimately convinced the Nat government to give up power? If it didn't matter what they thought, democracy wouldn't have happened.
@John : and i suppose that computer you are using was designed, manufactured and sourced locally and "has got nothing to do with the international communities." Open your eyes big guy. Everything you do every day depends on the activities of other countries. And since South Africa's net imports have quadrupled over the last 15 years, I would suspect busying yourselves with voting for idiots instead of innovation only makes you more dependent on the international teat.
@John, you aren't a racist man, an African man can't be a racist, words won't make you a racist. You don't have means of production so you can't oppress anyone. You are making your point, whether people likes it or not its their baby, as long as they have heard you and have no fear or favours when you raise your views. There are millions of us who shares your sentiments.
This article's math does not make sense at all! 592 + 641 + 638 is already more than 1 088 votes!?
I think each person can vote for 20 people.
It seems as if they have each 20 votes? No wonder they are called a Congress of B...
Danie, each of the voters get 20 votes, i.e. they draw up a list of their 20 preferred candidates. But then again it is only 1088 'voters' from the entire Limpopo - this is not democracy. This is why the 'photocopying' was taking place, get sufficient of your pals on the 'electorate' and you are a shoe-in.
"Makana was hit with a brick when he went to investigate allegations of duplicate voting tags being printed at a photocopying shop, shortly before delegates at the provincial elective conference picked their top five leaders"
Maybe the prints was for something else, maybe Malema's voting tags was filled in before the election.
The cops already bust guys making duplicates of voting member cards in Limpopo. Seems each delegate was given a whole bunch more cards than they should have had in order to cast votes for their favourite electorate.
Typical African National Corruption.
Banana Republic stuff. Mugabe would be proud.
If you have ever voted for an Board, SRC, House committee or any setup with a number of positions and voters you will know that each eligible voter has a set number of votes that they use. At the end the total number of votes for each candidate are added and the candidates that received most votes are elected. So if there are 5 vacancies and 10 voters, a maximum of 50 votes will be cast irrespective of the number of candidates.
you will never understand mr danie. if you can't read the figures and then what's the point?Don't try to make a point out of nothing bra.
And you forget about the tags that were printed at Malema's printers
juju cannot count to 20 without taking his socks off
@ray, hahaha that's funny...lol
Confused me as well Danie. Thanks for explanations okes.
The journalist who wrote this article did a terrible job. Either there are some missing facts or someone can't count. 1 088 votes cast of which Malema secured 592 votes, Lydia Komape received 641 votes and David Masondo 638 votes. Malema had to settle for 17th place? but you said he came third. Full facts on how the voting system works please!
The headline said he got third least number of votes, not that he came third.
Oi Vey.... Read again. Think.
Apologies on third/third least statement. The article however is still poorly presented.
Oh cumon Sean, just stop at "apologies" don't go ahead and show to us once again that you still missing what's presented in the article. Ok elaborate then on your "poorly presented". I'm sure someone will AGAIN clarify it with you.
You see Sean, the rest of the posters are geniuses, mere mortals like us need things like this explained to us. I think the article is difficult to understand as well - surely there are better ways to explain something?
Is that the equivalent of an "F"?
Larry, I think it is "F".
Every nation has the government it deserves
If they vote and believe that Julis has a place amongs them, what can we say? Allow me to use the words of Gustave Le Bon - French social psychologist
"The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduces them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim."
Malema was suspended from the ANC for 5 years. He has appealed the decision. Surely he is still suspended until the appeal is heard and the decision is confirmed or otherwise?
In a normal functioning democracy Gregory, that would indeed be the case. Here we take everything and twist it just the way it suits us!
FYI. When a person is suspended, that person remains in his position and is entitled to whichever rights and priviledges as long as the "internal" disciplinary processes are not concluded. For Malema, he is still having all his rights intact and still the president of the youth league until the all internal processes are exhausted and the judgement is upheld.
That is exactly what is wrong and why nothing ever gets concluded. We can play all these games with tax payers money. If you get suspended, you should forfeit your benefits until your appeal is heard and if you are reinstated, a back pay should apply. In the case of fraudsters, i.e.. Selebi, they should fund their own legal costs and not the tax payer. It cost us tax payers R17.4 to put Selebi behind bars and look now? We are going to pay for the top medical assistance, which Steve Biko Hospital is known for, and once again we the tax payers are now going to pay. We have a great constitution which ended up providing for the criminals and the law abiding citizens are at the shortest end.
I dnt know what taking so long to disciplin Julius Malema its time for us to forget about this BREAT he keeps poping up the ill disciplin preak!
So your perception of us is that if we don't follow Malema blindly, then we are either whites trying to sound like blacks, or stupid blacks that don't know what we are saying?
You comment is a true reflection of the African way of doing things. You either vote for Mugabe, Gaddafi etc, or we kill you the African way.
Get yourself on a plane and go look how the world functions. What you don't know yet, is the world could care less about your stupidity. You are like the fat kid trying to win the 100 M sprint.
@john, u sound like a true imbecile with chip on both shoulders. the fart sounds better than the sound of the words coming out of yo mouth. How does that sound John? Its cool to insult he? You better grow up a bit and stop insulting people in here. if you dont agree with someone, comment sensibly and respectfully otherwise don't.
@John you must be blind,deaf or something else not all black people are going to support all this rubbish you are saying.Some of us we will defend our fellow "white compatriots" at all cost yes at all cost.John wait until the civil servats in Limpopo don't get paid then your must come on this block to come and defend rubbish
Yes isn't it amazing. They can't pay the civil servants, but they vote the same fools back in again, adding another "buddy" to the mix, because of course he needs another stream of income now, doesn't he?
AWWWW John's comment got removed :( :(
so what?-17 is the next number after 1--isn't it?
you must go and do arithmatics
@ John, intelligent people get jokes, unintelligent ppl give votes. (to the likes of Malema)
Yeah whatever!!!
cant they remove this rubbish from politics or send him to zimbabwe im sure theyll get along with mugabe. this idiot has no respect for any 1
JuJu is going to split the ANC into 2 new parties: "The ANC Bureaucrats" and "The ANC Idiots".
No prizes for guessing which one he will be in!
@John, a little baffled by your question. Do you not regard whites as being part of South Africa? Believe it or not we actually care what happens.
@ John, we care because we have the brains to understand and look ahead. Oh, and as an aside, we live here.
AWWWW John's comment got removed :( :( - 2nd one removed
@Mark ~ Can't wait for that day!
@Ian ~ LMGA u are too funny ! :?)
So he is not as hot as he think he is, hope he is going sat under a tree to cut his wrist
Today Limpopo - tomorrow national president. Malema is on his way.
Here we go again!
This does not send a good message to the people of the world. Malema should step down and very soon those idiots who voted for him are going to regret.I doubt the intelligence of all those who voted for him.This is ridiculous. We dont need people like Malema in our government.
Zinhle, in life people of a certain mentality group together and all the sheep that need a bit of validation will follow. This happens in all walks of life. The following and the leadership of the ANC is no different.
The fools vote each other in because they have their income streams to protect. The rest of the voters are told all kinds of threatening stories like ancestors that will come haunt them if they vote against this corrupt rule.
The Americans do the same thing. They tell everybody all that is Arab will blow them up and what do you know, the tax payers allow a Trillion Dollars to be spent on a war that only benefits a few rich oil barons. America has 364 Million fools, we only have 45 Million.
This man is like an eel slippery as hell.
How in the world is this possible?
This is becoming an increasing joke and an absolute unadulterated insult to the intelligence and moral standards of millions of South Africans.
However, let it be said that those voting for him are a great big insult to themselves.
I will have to laugh when they've voted Julius in, he goes back to his lavish lifestayle, they go back to their squalid lifestyle and stil think they've done what the future of Limpopo requires them to do to prosper.
Malema is no idiot...he was just in the wrong place, I believe ANC could do a lot with the man...racism aside...
WTF How can he still be in politics with the ANC?
Take him to the cleaners Msholozi
sorry, whoz malema?
Sorry, do you know your name?
Zuma : you wana come to my new years eve party ?
Julius : Sure ...when???
This is why this country is in so much crap. Because nincompoops like this guy is still active in politics EVEN THOUGH he was suspended. The biggest problem of all is not this imbecile, its the thousands of morons following him!!! Its not because he's black. Its because he's an idiot!
l dont understand why is this the news,fat boy is nobody anymore.he is finished.so please N24.
Malema visited somebody in holding cells who has since been charge with charges of causing the deaths of others while under some influence.
Looking at the latest photos of Malema and reading about the man he was in pink, well, conclusions are free and luckily still allowed in our country.
See those swollen lips. Are they recent?
There goes the neighborhood. Eish. At least now he's OFFICIALLY in the party. JZ, take him out bro, you know you want to!
Zuma your timing is piss poor,an astute leader would have assessed Malema long ago (sars/lifestyle and unexplained money) and immediately neutralised the problem,findings published and trial in court,punishment meted.Result,you get respected as decisive President and corruption takes a knock.If you cant do the job move aside,call the DA.Just look how the cape province is prospering under them.Limpopo is bankrupt,now they need tax money to help themselves to more corruption!PS if ANC cant deal with the insults that were thrown at the presidency by limpopo delegates you are history.
One would of had to plain dumbnot to realise the following that Julius Malema has. Of course he would get into the ANC cadres as he is aeader of people. I wonder how many of the news 24 people making commn ets has any type of following
The ANC is a joke, they are only out to feather their own nests and the sooner the masses see that the better but because of the past they don't trust any other political party (being brainwashed also doesn't help) Malema is being investigated by numerous agencies for various things and will soon be arrested and prosecuted, in my humble opinion that day cannot come soon enough.

Koenig, Badgers prepare for top-ranked 'Cats
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The video of Bronson Koenig's winning 3-pointer against Xavier in the 2016 NCAA Tournament no doubt will rouse Wisconsin fans for years.
Koenig Hit 6 of 12 3-pointers and finished with 20 points in the 66-63 victory. Hit 2 3-pointers in the final 11.7 seconds, the first to forge a tie and the second just before the buzzer to give UW the victory.
Yet Koenig hasn't completely forgotten the next game, UW's 61-56 loss to Notre Dame in the Sweet 16. Koenig hit his first two shots but cooled quickly and finished 1 of 6 from 3-point range and 3 of 12 overall.
"I remember coming out and hitting my first couple shots," Koenig said after practice Saturday. "And then I remember getting really tired in the second half. But that's not an excuse because everyone is tired."
Koenig doesn't want to relive such a precipitous fall when eighth-seeded UW (26-9) meets No. 1-seeded and defending champion Villanova (32-3) in the second round of the East Regional at approximately 1:40 p.m. (Central) today.
Koenig hit 8 of 17 3-pointers and 9 of 21 shots overall and finished with 28 points in UW's 84-74 victory over Virginia Tech in the opening round.
"I think I play best when I go out there with an 'I don't really care' attitude," he said. "Because when I do that I'm not thinking and when I'm not thinking I shoot the ball a lot better rather than being nervous or tight.
"That's what I told myself. It is my senior year. Be aggressive and let it fly."
You want clutch?
Koenig's second-half 3-pointers against Virginia Tech came with UW holding leads of 4, 2, 3, 1 and 1.
"He's done that throughout the year," UW coach Greg Gard said. "He was opportunistic and he hit obviously timely shots when we needed it."
As did fellow senior Nigel Hayes, who recorded his third consecutive double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds)
Hayes entered the night shooting 58.5 percent from the free-throw line. That mark was down significantly from last season, when hit made 73.6 percent of his attempts.
Hayes hit 8 of 9 attempts against Virginian Tech, all in the final 7 minutes 45 seconds of the game.
You want pressure?
Hayes' makes came with UW holding leads of 2, 4, 4 and 1. Two of the made free throws completed 3-point plays to give UW leads of five and four points.
"I even mentioned to the guys having to being willing to die for the opportunity to play in a national championship," Hayes said. "I know it may sound extreme, but I'd rather go out there in the game and give everything I have. … A loss will feel a million times worse than the amount of pain that you (feel) with a win."
Hayes leads all current players in scoring in NCAA Tournament games with 147 points (15 games). Koenig is No. 2 with 142 points, also in 15 games.
"They have been in this atmosphere and ultimately they have belief," UW associate head coach Lamont Paris said. "If you look at their body of work in the NCAA Tournament, it is pretty good."
UW will need all its tournament experience to dethrone an experienced Villanova team which has lost just three games—two to Butler by eight points apiece and by two points to Marquette.
Seniors Josh Hart (18.7 ppg, 6.5 rpg) and Kris Jenkins (13.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg), who hit the game-winning 3-pointer in the title game last season, have each played in 145 games at Villanova. The Wildcats' record during the last four seasons is 129-16.
Point guard Jalen Brunson, who started 39 games as a freshman, has fit in from Day 1.
"What I see in Villanova is a championship program type swagger," Gard said. "That air of confidence that borders arrogance. You watch Villanova walk on the floor and they're very confident."
Villanova coach Jay Wright likened UW to Butler in terms of defense, physical play and toughness.
UW's defense has been solid for most of the season but struggled in the Big Ten title game against Michigan and Thursday against Virginia Tech.
Butler held Villanova to 24.0 percent 3-point shooting (12 of 50) and 40.7 percent shooting overall (44 of 108) in the teams' two meetings.
"They are similar in a lot of ways with their back-line defense, their physicality," Wright said. "It's a very similar type of game, and it's going to be a struggle.
"And I actually think Wisconsin's bigger, even bigger, than Butler, so probably even tougher. But let's hope we learn from those games."

Yeast Wrangling
These days there is a huge push to buy local with the thought being that we can support our local businesses and communities, and ultimately have a better product. Buying local also means buying a product that is fresher than something shipped half way across the country and since local companies tend to be smaller, they have more ability to experiment with ingredient combinations. This is also one of the main advantages to homebrewing; fresher beer utilizing unique flavor combinations.
As a homebrewer, there are lots of possibilities for you to make your beer more local. Using locally sourced homebrewing ingredients such as hops, malted barely and even yeast (like my friends at South Yeast Labs) can produce a fresh and unique twist to any beer recipe. Some commercial breweries such as Jester King Brewery in Austin, Texas and Jolly Pumpkin in Dexter, Michigan take local yeast to a whole new level by using open fermentation vessels called coolships to utilize local yeast and bacteria from the environment to ferment their finely crafted beverages. In fact, long before brewers knew that yeast was responsible for fermentation, all beers were produced in this way (but that is a topic for another blog post). As a yeast cell biologist and a self-proclaimed yeast geek I have found experimenting with different yeast strains in my homebrewery to be one of the most rewarding aspects of making beer at home.
Rather than buy locally sourced hops or malted barley in order to make my beer more local I decided to use my knowledge of yeast (and research laboratory equipment) to source a local yeast strain from my area. There are many ways to capture wild yeast but I chose to harvest yeast from a honeysuckle bush in my front yard. Flowering bushes and fruits are a great source of wild yeast since they attract birds and bees, which can act as natural transportation for microscopic organisms such as yeast. To begin the process, I simply dropped 10 honeysuckle flowers into a small volume of cooled wort, aerated it and let the yeast do their work. After 10 days I isolated six single strains of yeast and looked at each under a microscope to examine their health.
Here are the six single strains I isolated from a honeysuckle bush in my front yard

Macabre reading for Lillis in his free time
"The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our own souls."
So wrote American author and poet Edgar Allan Poe.
It's been nearly seven years since killer Eamonn Lillis stood over his wife's body in their garden and later claimed his wife, Celine Cawley, had been attacked by an intruder.
After he was caught in a web of lies and served five years in prison for manslaughter, he walked through Dublin airport a free man yesterday.
But he carried with him the words of Poe, the literary master of horror and macabre.
The book, called The Oxford Book of American Short Stories, was held close to his chest and contained a message for the wife-killer.
Among the pages is one of Poe's best known works, The Tell Tale Heart.
It tells the tale of an unnamed narrator who kills a man and thinks he is getting the better of everyone around him by ultimately getting away with the crime.
A passage, which describes the act of killing, reads: "With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern and leaped into the room. He shrieked once - once only.
"In an instant I dragged him to the floor."
It continues: "I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done. But, for many minutes, the heart beat on with a muffled sound.
"This, however, did not vex me; it would not be heard through the wall. At length it ceased. The old man was dead."
The narrator thinks he can move on with his life, until the beating of the dead man's heart comes back to haunt him. Poe shows how the pathologies of the mind can take hold of an individual until eventually the conscience overpowers them.
While Lillis might be free from prison, the story reminds readers that he is not free from his own mind.
Having shown no remorse to his daughter or Celine's family, Poe illustrates the human heart finds it hard to endure the burden of guilt forever, especially in the case of killing another human.

Eastern European scammers caught on camera in car trick that's happening near YOU
A CAR dealer caught a group of scammers on camera fiddling with a vehicle before a test drive to get a knock-down price.
The footage shows the men, believed to be Eastern European, pouring used engine oil into the coolant system before asking for a test drive at the dealership in Manchester.
They then tried to offer £500 compared to the £1,750 asking price for the BMW E9 after claiming it sounded faulty and was damaged.
Luckily dealer John Woodcock, who has worked in the motor industry since he left school, was wise to the scam and refused to complete the sale.
He said the potential buyers delayed the viewing until it was dark and then distracted him while one man emptied a bottle of oil under the bonnet.
CCTV cameras caught the conmen on camera apparently tampering with the engine and an oil bottle was later discovered under the vehicle.
John, 28, said: "They've tried to pull the wool over my eyes and I'm worried they're going to try to scam more people.
"They said they were Bulgarian and had travelled from Luton with the intention of exporting it.
"They were complaining about it lacking power and said they would pay no more than £500.
"I'm lucky because I'm in the trade, but they're trying to mug off ordinary people"Car dealer John Woodcock
"I'm in the trade and I'd topped the levels up that afternoon so I knew there was nothing wrong with it.
"I looked into the coolant and could see all this used black oil. That's when the alarm bells started ringing.
"They were demanding I sell it to them on the cheap but I sent them packing.
"It was only when I watched the CCTV back that I could clearly see the guy unscrewing the coolant cap and pouring in oil."
Dad-of-two John, who runs vehicle dealership CVS Oldham, reported the incident to Greater Manchester Police on June 30.
He has since posted footage of the apparent scam online and claims dozens of other car sellers had been in touch to say they'd had similar experiences.
John said: "I'm lucky because I'm in the trade, but they're trying to mug off ordinary people.
"I found out that they're actually Romanian, not Bulgarian and they've been trying this all over the country.
"The police came to take prints of the vehicle but I sold it a few days later anyway. It's BMWs in particular that they target, so people need to be wary."
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police declined to comment.

Mark Another Architecture 2015 Set / 6 Sayı (No 54-59)
Mark #54 Feb/Mar 2015
Usurpation is rampant in neutral Switzerland, where industrial zones left vacant by an increasingly service-oriented economy now host large-scale urban redevelopments.
Two stories in Mark #54 analyse this trend specifically among universities. Katharina Marchal writes on EM2N's Toni-Areal district in Zurich, Juliette Soulez on a collaborative project for the Academy of Art and Design in Basel.
Cape Verde becomes the stage for an unintentionally elegiac cover story. OTO's headquarters for Fogo Island Natural Park, a carefully planned synthesis of delicate political, social, and environmental concerns, was decimated along with its surrounding community this past November by the island's worst volcanic eruption in 60 years. Ana Martins traces the project's tragic history from its inception to the disaster's aftermath.
Spanish firm SelgasCano and a group of MIT architecture students similarly confront harsh natural conditions in constructing an education and vaccination pavilion for a remote Kenyan village. In Katowice, Poland, atelier KWK Promes attempt to reconcile the suburban, single-family residence with nature in the Living-Garden House. A trio of metro stations in Barcelona designed by local firm Garcés De Seta Bonet bare their raw engineering and silently await the completion of the line.
We converse with – among others – Belgian artist Xavier Delory about his fictional, absurdist architecture via altered photography. Harvard Graduate School of Design professor Rahul Mehrotra closes with observations on literary culture in India and the intersection between digitalisation and democratisation.

Perspective: Two University Complexes in Switzerland
Long Section:
Mark #55 goes off the radar, featuring a handful of lengthy, painstaking efforts to restore remote, abandoned villages in Southern Europe.
Anti-digital hermits and opportunistic estate agencies alike unite in an organic, archaeological process that has come to be known as 'slow architecture'. Through this lens, Sanderyn Amsberg and Daniel Jauslin explore secluded residences in Spain and Portugal, then lavish hideouts in Italy.
Just as they find beauty in age, our cover subject finds beauty in the beast. Rogue concept architect Didier Faustino speaks with Ana Martins about the necessity of bad architecture, expounding on the development of his unorthodox principles through an assorted portfolio. From a comic-book explosion in a quiet suburb, to a human cargo case for an airplane – functionality mingles inextricably with aesthetic statement to disrupt symbolic power constructs.
Faustino pioneers the new bad, while Arno Brandlhuber restores the old – showing tough love to a few 'exceptionally ugly' chunks of concrete on the outskirts of his native Berlin. Claus Van Wageningen's Dutch military museum in Soesterberg pays close tribute to Mies van der Rohe, while Coop Himmelb(l)au's new exhibition complex in Lyon forges a brave new world just as multifaceted in subject and structure.
Brooklyn-based Marc Fornes explores the physical frontiers of computer modelling through his workshop Theverymany. Just before a closing book exchange with Norwegian architect Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, the newfound luxury of the ancient remnants from which we emerged in Europe comes full circle with an altogether new type of ruin in a Tokyo apartment complex.
Cross Section:
Bona-Lemercier, Xavier Veilhan & Alexis Bertrand, Renato Rizzi, Nathan Crowley & Paul Franklin, BCHO, Baren Koolhaas, The Creative Assembly, Moshe Safdie, James Silverman, Theo Deutinger, Van Dongen-Koschuch, Davidclovers, Re-act Now, WMR
Perspective: Villages for Sale in Southern Europe
Mark #56 delves into the seemingly contradictory subject of architectural preservation in Los Angeles.
Safeguarding the city's architectural legacy is a challenge: the city comprises 88 administrative entities that all have their own preservation ordinances, the city is largely a 20th-century creation, lacking the rich heritage of colonial and 19th-century architecture, and the legacy is primarily residential and mostly walled off. Nevertheless, awareness is growing and preservation efforts are increasingly successful. Home flipper Michael LaFetra tells about his work on dwellings by Lautner and Schindler, among others, developer Wayne Ratkovich is nowadays convinced that history is a unique selling point and Michael Webb recounts his efforts to persuade a developer to defer to a modern classic.
Not just in the States but also in China, the idea is taking hold that renovation may in many cases be more interesting than demolition and new builds. Atelier Deshaus converted an old towel factory in Shanghai into the premises of a large producer of art books. The former laundry facility, complete with two large basins for washing the towels, now serves as an art centre that shows the company's books, as well as printing and binding techniques.
In the same city, Gensler's Shanghai tower is currently the second tallest building in the world. Structural engineer Dennis Poon of Thornton Tomasetti explains the structural ideas behind the design such as the tower's twisting and tapering shape to disperse wind loads.
Also studded with towers is Tomorrowland, an imaginary city in the eponymous movie that premiered around the world at the end of May. Production designer Scott Chambliss and visual futurist Syd Mead talk about the mysteries of Tomorrowland and its architecture. Contrary to most sci-fi movies, they wanted to create an optimistic world. 'Suggesting a good future is more productive than continually imagining that everything is just going to end up in the toilet,' says Mead. 'I think that's a very dangerous attitude to promote over and over again. The kids that are growing up now – teenagers and those in their early 20s – have never been exposed to anything more than end-of-the-world scenarios. I think that's tragic.'
Mark normally assesses buildings right after their completion, but most structures will only prove their worth after years or even decades of use. In the ongoing series of 'belated' building reviews, Austrian writer and photographer Michael Hierner interviewed and photographed eight inhabitants of the Alterlaa housing complex in Vienna that houses over 10,000 people in three apartment blocks, designed in the 1970s by Harry Glück. In spite of its mind-blowing size, most residents are very happy to live there; one of the couples has already called it home for 40 years.
New buildings also get a fair share in this issue of course. Among them are three university buildings: two in Singapore – one by Heatherwick Studio and the other by UNStudio – and another in Toronto by Snøhetta.
When it comes to Expo 2015, Milan seems to be unaffected by the economic crisis.
Giovanna Dunmall describes the event as 'an extravagant temple to consumption, waste and the corporate dollar'. However, at the same time, Expo 2015 was the perfect opportunity for other cultural institutions to open their doors, three of which are highlighted in Mark #57.
Monica Zerboni delves into OMA's Prada Foundation, a new museum fit for Italy's fashion capital, injecting a dash of gleaming culture into a rundown industrial area. In the trendy design quarter southwest of the city centre, the controversial Mudec is no longer tied to its original architect, David Chipperfield, who requested his name be removed from the museum's publicity. Finally, in the Isola district, Baukuh – one of Italy's youngest and dynamic studios – designed Casa della Memoria, a building that aims to preserve Italy's past.
At our next stop, Barcelona, we visit Josep Ferrando's recent project, a 'house within a house'. Then we head up to Scandinavia for two cultural venues both designed by Danish architecture firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen: Dokk1, a public library in Denmark and Malmö Live, a concert hall in Sweden.
We then move to Los Angeles – where Eric Owen Moss' Pterodactyl building has finally landed – and we talk about Diller Scofidio + Renfro's Broad Museum which animates LA's cultural axis. A conversation with LA-based psychotherapist, Rachel Melvald, reveals how she helps architects and their clients. In New York, Michael Webb speaks to Raj Patel, who leads the acoustic consulting team of Arup in the Americas.
Mass Design Group addresses the spread of cholera with an infrastructural hospital in Port-au-Prince. As Atelier ST Architecture celebrates their tenth anniversary, Florian Heilmeyer converses with the young and successful couple behind the firm. Stefano Boeri, designer of the Vertical Forest in Milan, discusses books which influenced him and on how literature has made an impact on his life as an architect.
Mark #58 jumps to Japan where we take a look at how Jun Igarashi makes the most of small spaces.
He has recently completed three houses, which showcase a raw minimalistic design, on the island of Hokkaido. Although Igarashi himself states that he has "no style", there seems to be a similar architectural approach in his houses.
We then venture into Paris to explore the longest building in the city. The former abandoned warehouse, Entrepôt Macdonald, has been renovated by fifteen architecture firms collaborating together. The project now houses a variety of spaces, bringing back life to a neglected area. Responsible for the master plan, architect Floris Alkemade talks to Mark and gives us the insight with an interview.
Back in the Netherlands, 'pimp my boat' looks at a unique hotel experience. Located on the roof of a floating hotel, five large sculpture letters, which can be seen as far away as Amsterdam central station, spell out Botel. Each bold and bright letter accommodates a hotel room, designed by five different architects, each space has its own unique style.
In an era where technology is taking a leading role, in Toronto, Benjamin Dillenburger and Michael Hansmeyer are at the forefront. They are making 3d-printed sculptures with hyper-elaborate surfaces. They carefully assemble the pieces together and display them at exhibitions. The intricate detailing creates a spectacle filled with ornamentation.
Mark #59 explores the exciting architectural ancestry of eastern Germany, once home of the nation's famous reformer, Martin Luther.
With the 500thanniversary of him posting his 95 theses onto the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg coming up in 2017, three towns in Saxony-Anhalt have constructed new museums or visitor centres.
Following the trip into the past, we look into the future with a collection of most recently completed projects by Chinese office Mad Architects, devoted advocates of merging architecture and landscape. Starting with Harbin Grand Theatre – whose architectural form extends the environment to become part of the landscape – and continuing to Beihai's Fake Hills – an 800-m-long ocean front development whose geometry combines two common yet opposing typologies of high-rise and groundscraper – and concluding in the city of Huangshan whose 'mountain village' consists of ten apartment blocks composed across the southern slope of Taiping Lake.
Next, we turn down the scale with two single family residences, a mountain cabin and a veterinary practice by Austrian firm Marte Marte architects. These small structures reveal the Marte brothers' true inspiration: the castles and lofty towers that fascinated them as children.
To top it off, filmmakers Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine show a building's impact on society's ways of life. Makers of Koolhaas Houselife – a cult hit in architectural circles – the duo's signature is to reveal the human side of architecture. A new set of film projects question the way we interact with buildings, live amidst their flaws and enjoy their peculiarities.

A complete whiteout scenery was what met me in the morning-hours today. I was hoping for a little sunshine but I was wrong. The groomed park from last night had snowed completely over, and the wind had made it even more hard to ski. In fact, I spent 30 minutes digging out the shape of the kicker on jump number two in the main park in Storlien. What a job! When I finally saw the basic shape of the kicker and got to give it a try, the wind kicked in. It's impossible to get a perfect day in Sweden or Norway when skiing.
Second jump, half-way through out my little snow-shovelling workout. I feel that all I have been doing this week has been to move snow.
I didn't even care to move all the snow. I wanted to hit jumps!
Allthough it was windy, the sun came for a short visit and I ended up doing backflips for the rest of the day.
I had a quick lunch before I drove back home to repack my bags. Going international again tomorrow.Time to have two days off before a busy month starts on monday. See you when I get there
Peace out, S.

Seven-high for Cruzeiro & Juan Aurich make history in the Copa Libertadores; Boca, Gimnasia & Hurcan all win in Argentina; Goals from Brazil
Cruzeiro 7 – Real Potosi 0 (Agg. 8-1) (Copa Libertadores Qualification, February 3, 2010) Wellington Paulista fired past both goalkeeper Mauro Machado and defender Alvaro Ricaldi to open the scoring in the 28th minute and then set up Thiago Ribeiro to widen the gap two minutes later. Kleber made it 3-nil in the 39th after being found by Jonathan, who added the fourth in first half injury time. Real Potosi forward Gerardo Yecerotte was sent off for fouling Kleber at the start of the second half and midfielder Gonzalo Galindo followed after a second yellow card in the 74th minute. Eliandro, Bernardo and Ecuadorian midfielder Joffre Guerron added further goals in the final four minutes of the game.
Estudiantes Tecos 1 – Juan Aurich 2 (Agg. 1-4) (Copa Libertadores Qualification, February 3, 2010) Luis Fernando Suarez's team became the first Peruvian side to win a Copa Libertadores match in Mexico thanks to a 43rd-minute header by Luis Tejada and a 73rd minute strike from Ricardo Ciciliano. Juan Aurich defender Willy Alexander Rivas was sent off in the 65th minute and Fredy Bareiro reduced the deficit eleven minutes later, but the visitors celebrated reaching the group stage for only the second time.
