An innovative forever house renovation features a pocket park for the community
Comments Off on An innovative forever house renovation features a pocket park for the community
Mention the word ' renovation ' and thoughts of expansion immediately spring to mind — especially in the expensive suburb Fitzroy of Melbourne . So when the owners of a two-story terrace house in the neighborhood decided against creating a large home and instead sought to turn part of their unused site into a pocket park, they smartly tapped Austin Maynard Architects to lead the project. The local Australian architecture firm — known for its creative and anti-McMansion designs — created the King Bill "forever home" for a family of four that includes a revamped garden space and curved extensions, one of which is housed in an overhauled horse stable. Instead of building out the entire vacant lot east of the main house, Austin Maynard Architects selectively added a couple structures to the site. Contemporary additions include a new pavilion housing the kitchen, living and dining spaces, as well as a glazed corridor that connects the main house to the old horse stable that's been converted into the garage and parents' retreat. Corrugated colorbond steel metal clads the curvaceous extensions to provide a playful and striking contrast to the original brick left intact on the 19th-century terrace house. "Long time Fitzroy locals, the clients chose not to capitalise on their block by exploiting the vacant site," the architects explained. "They wanted more living space but they had no intention of maximising the economic yields by creating a huge home. Instead, they sought to give something back to the suburb they love through a rich and generous garden ."

The concrete slab of the new living space pavilion was carefully cantilevered so as not to disturb the tree root zones. The architects included minimal paving in the garden to maximize site permeability; the plantings also help to reduce the area's heat island effect. The home also features passive solar principles and rooftop solar panels. Rainwater is harvested and reused for irrigation and to flush toilets. Thanks to double-glazed windows, natural light fills the home. + Austin Maynard Architects Images by Derek Swalwell

London's first floating park slated to open this spring
Comments Off on London's first floating park slated to open this spring
London is about to get its first floating pocket park as part of a citywide greening initiative. Thanks to recent approval from the local city council, a floating 730-square-meter green-covered platform, designed by garden designer Tony Woods of The Garden Club, is now slated to open this spring at Merchant Square on the Grand Union Canal. The large green platform, which will be the first of its kind for the City, will have a lush green lawn surrounded by nectar-rich mixed raised borders. Various textural herbaceous plants and grasses will decorate the space year-round, but the color scheme will change with the seasons, stem color in autumn, scented winter flowers, spring bulbs, and an abundance of colorful flowers in summer Related: Floating urban greenhouse produces clean energy and organic food The park will also contain a "bespoke planting" scheme aimed at encouraging local wildlife to inhabitat the space, even adding a separate pontoon area for ground-nesting birds . Apart from the feathered friends, the pavilion, which will have its own canal boat mooring, will have a capacity of up to 120 visitors and offer free Wi-Fi for those looking for outdoor work space. The pocket park will have plenty of communal seating as well as a series of decked platforms and walkways where people can walk over water. The park is part of the Greater London Authority's green infrastructure initiative, which aims to improve local infrastructure, as well as green parks and water canal and riverside spaces across the city. Andrew Scrivener, Chief Executive at European Land hailed the planning approval, "Outdoor spaces are a key ingredient in any successful neighbourhood. At Merchant Square this incredible Floating Pocket Park – the first in London – will not only provide green space for our residents and unique outside workplace for our occupiers, but creates an oasis in the West End, offering Londoners a way to actively reconnect with the canal." + Tony Woods Via Hyperallergic

Solar-power system could provide clean drinking water in rural India for the first time

Comments Off on Solar-power system could provide clean drinking water in rural India for the first time
A solar-powered purification system could slake the thirsts of rural India with clean drinking water for the first time. This would be no ordinary feat. Tens of millions of people in India lack access to potable water, and roughly 600,000 Indian children die every year from water- and sanitation-related diseases like diarrhea or pneumonia, according to UNICEF . In the country's most far-flung regions, where 70 percent of India's population lives, toxic bacteria routinely fouls at least half of the water supply . But while the Indian government has focused its efforts on treating surface water in rivers and streams, researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland want to attack the source of contamination: sewage. They've developed a system that uses sunlight to induce high-energy particles within a photocatalytic material, which uses light to generate a chemical reaction. These, in turn, activate molecules of oxygen, mobilizing them to destroy bacteria and other organic matter. Because the materials require no power source, an off-grid system requires little more than attaching the photocatalyst to containers of contaminated water and angling them toward the sun until they're safe to drink. If necessary, the system could be used in tandem with a filter to catch larger particles. Related: 6 Innovative, Life-Saving Designs for Clean Drinking Water The researchers are now working with the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research to scale up the technologies they honed during a five-month pilot project. "Working closely with our Indian partners, we aim to harness the sun's energy to tackle a huge problem that affects many people around the world," Neil Robertson, a professor from the University of Edinburgh's School of Chemistry, said in a statement. + University of Edinburgh Via FastCo.Exist Photo by Jake Givens

Iceland building biodome community to be fully sustainable oasis
Comments Off on Iceland building biodome community to be fully sustainable oasis
Iceland's weather extremes poses unique challenges for residents and travelers – but the country's capital Reykjavik is planning a series of new eco biodomes that will welcome Icelanders with warmth and style. Designed by Spor i Sandinn , Aldin is a fully sustainable biodome community powered by geothermal energy. Located in the Elliðaárdalur Valley of Reykjavik, the biodome community will feature a central plaza surrounded by ample public spaces for social functions and public activities – as well as a marketplace and various cafes. Inside the biodome, the interior temp will be kept at a balmy 25°C – an optimal temperature for tropical plantings and a working urban farm . Related: Stunning geodesic domes from Romania can handle earthquakes up to 8.5 on the Richter scale According to Hjördís Sigurðardóttir, the founder and CEO of Spor i Sandinn , the project will show the world a new side of Icelandic agriculture: " This glazed landmark Biodome will seek to reconnect people to nature in new and exciting ways, combining the experience of tropical temperatures, with a farmers' market and an agricultural laboratory. Aldin will be a hub for minds and thoughts, a space for a healthy community to meet, shop, relax and socialize, as well as an authentic attraction for tourists." Aldin will rent out spaces to green-minded tenants such as farm-to-table restaurants, green product retail stores, and health-related businesses. Sigurðardóttir contends that the biodome project could also serve as an example of how to create and build new and meaningful infrastructure, "The Biodome represents this. It is a statement of change, highlighting the benefits of another way of thinking and of energy-efficient buildings." The Aldin project is currently waiting for approval, but it's expected to open late 2018 or early 2019. + Spor i Sandinn

8 natural immunity boosters to get you through cold and flu season
Comments Off on 8 natural immunity boosters to get you through cold and flu season
Even if you get your flu shot , wash your hands religiously, and try to steer clear of people at home or in the office who are hacking and sneezing, fighting against all the germs and illnesses that seem to proliferate in winter is an uphill battle. While we can't promise these seven natural immunity boosters will keep you from needing to take a single sick day this winter, incorporating them into your life may improve your chances of a less severe sickness, a quicker recovery time, and even avoiding "catching" a bug in the first place. Some of them (such as getting enough sleep, exercising, and eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals) are pretty obviously the basic building blocks of a healthy lifestyle, but its always good to have a little reminder how to stay healhty. Hit the jump to find out how to boost your immune system nature's way. Image © flickr user planetchopstick 1. Rest up and get some sleep We all know this one, but its easier said than done, right? Instead of fighting long nights with blue screens, Netflix binges, and snacks, try to make an early (or earlier) bedtime a priority. Sleeping does more than feel good: it gives your body a chance to repair itself on a cellular level. Numerous studies have shown that being sleep-deprived makes you more likely to get colds; long-term sleep deprivation may be linked with more serious illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. Many of us are pretty exhausted , but if going to sleep is challenging, experiment with a few of the following suggestions: Dim the lights and turn off electronic devices about an hour before bed. Give yourself time to digest before heading to Snoozetown. Falling asleep on a full stomach can be difficult so try to make your last meal or snack a few hours before bedtime. Smell your way to sleep. Dab a bit of lavender essential oil on your pressure points (including wrists and behind the ears) to help your mind relax. 2. Whip up some Golden Milk Golden Milk , a creamy turmeric-spiked drink that has recently been added to menus on coffee and tea shops in the United States, has its origins in Ayurveda. Turmeric 's active ingredient is curcumin, which has been touted as being anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. You'll love this drink as a warm and soothing alternative to coffee or tea any time of the day, but we especially adore it when winding down at night. Choose your favorite non-dairy milk as the base; try cashew, which has sleep-inducing and regulating tryptophan. Another healthy turmeric-tinged drink: make a "tea" by mixing lemon juice, slices of ginger, turmeric, and a little liquid sweetener (such as honey) with warm water. Image via Pixabay 3. Eat a vegetable rainbow Incorporating a wide array of veggies and veggie colors is recommended for most healthful and nourishing diets, but it's especially important for boosting immunity. Vitamins such as C and A have been studied for their ability to fight off illness, so add plenty of dark leafy greens, citrus fruits, and carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes . Actually eating your vitamins in whole veggie form is preferable to supplementing with often unregulated pills and capsules. Selenium, a mineral found in garlic, broccoli, and brazil nuts , also has been touted as an immune system booster. Image © Pixabay 4. Find some magical mushrooms The fungus kingdom is notoriously defensive against bacteria and viruses – after all, it was funguses (specifically the Penicillium mold) which lead to the development of modern day antibiotics. Many funguses produce chemicals that kill viruses and bacteria. Some funguses are believe to have anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties as well. Mushrooms, especially Asian varieties such as shiitake, enoki, and maitake , contain natural anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties including the immune-boosting chemical beta-glucan . Plus, they're delicious can be added to virtually any meal — breakfast, lunch or dinner. Always make sure you fully cook mushrooms for optimal nutrition and so that you can digest them properly! Image © Aris Setya via Shutterstock 5. Feed your gut flora Speaking of funguses, having a healthy ecosystem of good gut bacteria and fungi is critical for immune health. Did you know that 70-80% of your immune tissue is located in your digestive tract? Traditional foods from a variety of cultures are plentiful sources of probiotics (aka beneficial bacteria) that can feed your gut flora. Cultured yogurts and kefirs, tempeh, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha , and more provide diverse belly flora, which may help lower levels of inflammation in your gut and boost your immune system. Probiotics are often found in fermented foods; the fermenting process promotes the growth of millions of microorganisms that help break down food. In addition to potentially helping to ward off some illnesses before they attack, probiotics are also used to help replenish the gut microbiome after a course of antibiotics. 6. Sip hot soup A version of Grandma's healing chicken soup can be found in almost any family lineage, and doctors have figured out that the power of this soup is more than just the nostalgia factor. Soups can deliver easily digestible and nourishing nutrients and keep you hydrated. When you have a cold or sore throat, the steam and humidity of soup can help clear clogged nasal passages as well. Vegetarians and vegans can make up their own version of no-chicken soup or whip up a quick and healthful miso soup instead. 7. Get your blood flowing Exercise and immune function have a slightly contentious relationship: exercising too strenuously has actually been linked with a suppressed immune function, but the benefits of moderate exercise outweigh the potential negatives so don't throw in the (gym) towel: exercising moderately through brisk walks, cycling, pilates, yoga , dance class, or lifting at the gym can give you an immunity boost. Moving, however it suits you, gets blood circulating, may help flush out bacteria and viruses, lowers stress levels, and helps you sleep better. If you exercise outdoors you can also get the benefit of fresh air and soak in a little Vitamin D from the sun, another key element to a healthy immune system. 8. Get some sunshine Vitamin D is produced naturally in your body when your skin is exposed to UV radiation from the sun. Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin, and is thought to play a role in regulating the immune system. It is found in relatively few food products, but it can be found in fortified milk products and mushrooms. Many people have low levels of Vitamin D, so its always helpful to get outside for a 30 minute walk in the sunshine to boost your immune system. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, it is hard in the winter to get enough Vitamin D from the sun alone, so it's a good idea to drink a Vitamin-D fortified beverage or take a supplement (and/or eat lots of mushrooms!). Image via Shutterstock 8. Herbs and supplements While most of our recommendations can be found in whole foods or through making healthy lifestyle choices, a few potentially powerful immune boosters are best when taken in supplement form, whether as tinctures, capsules, or even as part of a tea. Taking vitamin C and zinc capsules regularly or at the first sign of a cold can work wonders for the immune system. Some herbal remedies have found their way into the mainstream market, including echinacea, astragalus, ginseng, elderberry and reishi mushrooms and can be purchased separately. Visiting a professional, such as a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who has knowledge of and expertise in prescribing an array of herbs and medicinal roots, may be your best bet for getting the appropriate dosage and most effective combo. While you are there, consider having an acupuncture treatment, which has also been associated with boosting immune function. Lead image via Shutterstock

Behind the Design of San Francisco's 1 Burrows Pocket Park With Rebar Studio and Artist Jason Jagel
Comments Off on Behind the Design of San Francisco's 1 Burrows Pocket Park With Rebar Studio and Artist Jason Jagel
This past October we brought you a first look at 1 Burrows Pocket Park , a community-driven project launched by Architecture for Humanity , the Lincoln Reimagine Project and Architectural Digest to transform an abandoned cul-de-sac in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood into a vibrant public park. Now that the project has broken ground, we had the opportunity to chat with Matthew Passmore of Rebar Art & Design Studio and artist Jason Jagel to bring you an exclusive first look at the park's design – including innovative street furniture, an amazing mural, and a living green wall. Check out the brand new video above and read on to learn more about this exciting urban renewal project! Photo via Open Architecture Network Burrows Street is a 1-mile-long road in San Francisco's working class Portola neighborhood that runs up against the 101 Freeway. The space once served as a dumping ground for rubbish, however it's primed to blossom as a new urban oasis. For Rebar's Matthew Passmore , the project's location and small size presented challenges while serving as a wellspring of inspiration. He says: "The most inspiring thing to me about the Burrows Street pocket park was its small scale, the way it is tucked into the existing fabric of the city. It is a true niche space, a half-block fragment of the City that dead ends at a freeway." Rebar has a long history of finding value in underutilized urban spaces (they came up with Park(ing) Day after all), so they set to work designing an accessible public park that wouldn't "overwhelm the site with too much design." Matthew says: "In a dense business district like the one surrounding Burrows Street, people may not have time in their day to visit a large local park, so they will hopefully use a small pocket park. It doesn't take much to create an opportunity to sit, relax and do nothing for a few minutes." Community input was key to developing the park – Matthew sees underused spaces as "great opportunities to invite the public to participate in the creation of the city – to co-create the city with us. This form of participation can change they way people view their city – it is no longer a set of received spatial conditions, but rather something they helped form. This fundamentally alters the way people relate to the built environment, and potentially alters their behavior and sense of citizenship." San Francisco-based artist Jason Jagel told Inhabitat that his style and process developed from margin drawings that he would do in art school while on the phone, in lectures, or thinking about other things. This improvisational working process leads to incredibly creative pieces that are even new to him. Jason was thrilled when he was chosen to contribute artwork to the 1 Burrows Pocket Park , as it will be his first public mural. He was turned onto the project through people who live in the neighborhood and who have an interest in the area, and he sees the mural as an opportunity to break out of the studio. In the video, Jason says "Art needs to have a place in society in order for society to be sustainable." On developing the mural Jason says "I spent time in the Portola district looking at the beautiful large city block full of dilapidated greenhouses with wild roses and blackberries running throughout them, and I did research as well about the history of the neighborhood. From there, it was a typical thing of trying to take those elements and put them into some sort of picture." The mural depicts the Portola neighborhood using vibrant, cheerful colors. The aforementioned greenhouses burst with flowers and bright figures, while a pair of youths row a canoe with an acorn and an oak leaf – symbols of the Ohlone people who lived along the central and northern California coast. The youths are on a journey towards a tunnel blooming with roses – a future that is unknown yet grandiose and optimistic. (The tunnel actually references a tunnel once present on the site of the park that connected to the Bayview neighborhood.) A pair of gigantic hands encircle the scene in an embrace that is tender, but also protective – Jason says he wanted to offer up something of symbolic value that is also warm and supportive. The elements of the 1 Burrows Pocket Park are coming together thanks to the hard work of all parties involved – stay tuned as we bring you updates and a first look at the park once it is completed in early 2014! + Lincoln Reimagine Project + Rebar + Jason Jagel

Soulful Tunes From Llys Meddy
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! to Guy from Pembrokeshire Intimate Gigs who brought Cathryn Craig and Brian Willoughby into our lives last night at Llys Meddyg.
The Cellar Bar proved to be THE most perfect place for this most intimate of gatherings and everyone that attended was mesmerized.
It's like having a gig in your living room. You are so close. It feels like they are singing to you, and only you, and the music works through you.
Cathryn and Brian have been playing together for nearly 20 years, since their first collusion in Nashville Tennessse, and now hop the pond between the UK and the US – making sure both countries get a fair share of their talent. And I, for one, am very grateful that they do!
An extra gift of the night was Steve Jones on harmonica. Steve made the trip down from the Gower in the hope that he could jump on stage with these guys and all I can say is WOW! If you haven't heard him play you will want to make a note of his name.
At the end of the night we were all friends. It's that kind of place. Joined through good food, incredible music and a wonderful venue.
Looking forward to meeting you at the next Intimate Gig!

and Return Policy
the Artist
Smalley b.(Nelson, New Zealand, 1946)
Smalley studied music at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand)
Diploma in organ performance, and MusB and the Victoria University
of Wellington (New Zealand) BMus honours in composition. He then
taught music at Wellington College for three years prior to gaining a
French Government bursary which enabled him to study in Paris (France)
in 1971. He spent a year in Olivier Messiaens composition class
at the Conservatoire de Paris (France), and at the same time took the
electroacoustic music course run by the Groupe de recherches musicales
(Ina-GRM). He was among the first composers to complete the newly established
Diplôme de musique électroacoustique et de recherche
musicale. He then moved to the UK, where he completed the DPhil
in composition at the University of York. In 1975 he took up a Composition
Fellowship at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK) and was appointed
Lecturer in 1976 (Senior Lecturer from 1988), with special responsibility
for electroacoustic composition activities and courses. In 1994 he was
appointed Professor of Music and Head of the Department of Music at City
University (London, UK).
music has received a number of international awards: the Fylkingen Prize
(Stockholm, Sweden, 1975), Bourges Electroacoustic Awards (France, 1977,
1983, 1992), the Special Prize of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic
Music (CIME, 1983), Newcomp (USA, 1984), and the Golden Nica of Prix Ars
Electronica (Linz, Austria, 1988).
has taken a keen interest in the performance of electroacoustic music,
and pioneered the concept of sound diffusion in the UK, developing the
first sound diffusion system from 1976 at the University of East Anglia
(Norwich, UK). For ten years from 1976 he was very active in promoting
electroacoustic music in a number of concert tours for the Arts Council
Contemporary Music Network, working with such composers as Sarah Walker
(voice), John Tilbury (piano), Singcircle (with Trevor Wishart), John
Wallace (trumpet; with Tim Souster). He has been responsible for the sound
production for some key electroacoustic events, such as the Electric Weekend
on the South Bank in London in 1987, and the BBC Promenade concert celebrating
the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Electroacoustic Music Association
of Great Britain (now Sonic Arts Network).
Smalley is also notable as a writer on the aesthetics of electroacoustic
music. In particular, he has developed the notion of spectromorphology
(the shaping of sound spectra through time), expanding concepts initially
articulated by Pierre Schaeffer in order to explain sonic relationships
in their musical context. The most widely read article Spectromorphology:
Explaining Sound-Shapes has been published in English, French
and Italian. With Lelio Camilleri he conceived and edited the first publication
in English devoted of the analysis of electroacoustic music. With Simon
Emmerson he has been responsible for the entry on Electroacoustic Music
in the new edition of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
About the Music
idea of a principal sound source as provider of the central material and
concept unites three works on this CD, and is embodied in their titles
Tides, Empty Vessels, and Base Metals. In each case a characteristic
sound acts as a central reference as well as irrigating the
piece. But it also inspires and guides the choice of other sounds and
the play of relationships among them, thereby influencing musical form.
In Empty Vessels it is the sound of air resonating in large garden pots
along with recordings of the surrounding environment. In Tides it is two
water recordings a closely recorded water texture which furnishes
the pool sequences, and a recording of the approaching sea
which gives the second movement (Sea Flight) its wave forms. Finally,
in Base Metals, the resonances of a family of metal sound sculptures provide
the rich reservoir of colorful sound spectra which enable harmonic and
timbral evolutions.
idea of sources and their musical development is central to the more abstract
preoccupations of the composers agenda, as a vehicle for creating
families of relationships, and as a means for building musical logic and
coherence. But the invisible world of acousmatic imagery also conjures
up scenes in the imagination. Such scenes can be quite close
to reality. This is the case with Empty Vessels where nature, environment,
the elements and broad exterior spaces are graphically featured, often
without much alteration. However, recording techniques can considerably
transform our aural view of the sounds: exaggerated magnification can
turn peaceful bees into a threatening swarm, or allow us to perceive the
finer timbral changes of raindrops falling on a hollow ceramic pot. Empty
Vessels can be regarded a series of episodes which have a visual and experiential
logic as a well as making musical sense. This is the closest my music
gets to composition based on the soundscape. In Tides the waterbased
proposition is clear enough, but the more literal references are left
behind as the concepts of pool, current, and waveshaped
morphologies are developed more abstractly. With Pentes the only clear
link with the real world is the Northumbrian pipes, and so this piece
is only scenic by analogy and metaphor its spectral energies and
motions. With Base Metals, too, the imagery is evoked by spaces and motion,
quite remote from reality, although the energetic metallic impacts, which
act as referencepoints, are a type of sound we are all familiar
noticeable in all these works is the absence of a human presence in the
sonic fabric. With the exception of the pipes in Pentes, a few distant
traces of human activity near the start of Empty Vessels, and possibly
some reminders of instrumentally instigated timbres in Base Metals, the
listenerspectator is left to observe and experience the scenes and
spaces, alone. Between and beyond the loudspeakers virtual, metaphorical
worlds approach and encroach in sonic flow, and are revealed for imaginative
Smalley, London (UK), November 2000
title refers to the metal sounds that provided the central material for
the piece, and it also evokes the creative process of transmuting these
raw sources to a higher musical and expressive plane.
the metal sources derive from sound sculptures created by the artist Derek
Shiel from metal objects collected over a period of time. From the wide
range of objects I selected those with the internal resonant properties
that could provide me with variegated spectral families. Some possessed
intervallic and tonal properties, others were inharmonic or noisier, and
some sounded more synthetic than truly metallic. Although there are a
number of orchestrated impacts and resonances in the piece, I was less
interested in the clash of metal than in more sustained morphologies.
Thus there is a focus on varied pushes, surges, swirls and sweeps of spectral
energy, balanced with calmer drifts, undulations and dips, all of which
move in and out of more clearly pulsed moments. These motions are also
spatial so there are approaches, emergences, dispersals and distant disappearances,
sometimes leaving behind the residues of spectral trails. The metal- based
families, which are hardly ever absent, are brought into relations with
a few other sound-types, and those who know my other pieces might spot
the occasional refugee- sound from the past, recontextualized.
Metals was composed in 2000 in the composers studio and was premiered
during the Lespace du son festival in Brussels (Belgium)
on October 15, 2000. The piece was commissioned by Swedish Radio in Malmö
(Sweden). Thanks to Derek Shiel for making his sound sculptures available,
and to Bosse Bergqvist for initiating the commission
empty vessels of the title are some large garden pots from Crete and an
olive jar from Turkey. Recordings of the air resonating in these vessels
provided the starting-point for the piece. Since the recordings were done
in my garden in north London, sounds from the environment (rain, birds,
planes flying overhead) were also captured by the microphones inside the
pots, and changes in the timbre of these sounds resulted from interaction
with the filtering effect of the resonant vessels. These natural
transformations were extended through computer treatments of the sources,
and they also suggested relations with very different types of resonant
sounds. The garden palette was expanded with recordings made in the same
environment without the benefit of the vessels transformations.
The piece may be regarded as a journey passing through highly charged
and more restful events, textures and spaces inspired by the empty vessels.
Vessels was composed in 1997 and was premiered in Paris (France) in May,
1997. The piece was commissioned by the French State (Commande dÉtat)
and the Groupe de recherches musicales (Ina-GRM).
Track 3 and 4: Tides (1984) | 30m17s
sonic images of Tides are based on analogies between water and sound -
motion, textures, images of turbulence, strength and tranquillity, the
play of colors and light, and the intimacy and immensity of space. The
first movement Pools and Currents is constructed around
a series of interlocked pools, each of which has a different
character. The pool idea suggests textural play, while the idea of currents
stresses the more linear motion that propels the movement forward. The
pools come to rest in a broad seascape out of which the wave-like gestures
of the second movement, Sea Flight, emerge.
is the first of my works to use computer transformations of source material.
was completed in 1984 and mixed at the University of East Anglia (Norwich,
UK). Materials for the work were created during visits to a number of
studios - the University of Toronto Computer Systems Research Group (the
Structured Sound Synthesis Projects system), the Experimental Studio
of Finnish Radio, and the Groupe de recherches musicales (Ina-GRM) Digital
Studio. The piece was commissioned by the Groupe de recherches musicales
(Ina-GRM) in Paris (France). [xi-00]
title Pentes (both French and Latin, meaning slopes, inclines, ascents)
was suggested by the outlines of the broad stretches of the piece, which
evoke the spaciousness of landscape. Most of the music was created by
transforming instrumental sounds, but there are also synthesized sounds.
However, the only recognizable sound source is the Northumbrian Pipes,
whose drone is responsible for the slowly evolving harmonies out of which
its haunting traditional melody appears.

The deadline for the $8,000 tax credit is coming quicker than you think! Yes, the credit ends on November 30th (sale must be closed). But did you know to meet that deadline you should have your purchase and sale agreed to and in escrow no later than October 1st?
There are many prospective homeowners who will see this deadline and want to qualify and claim the $8,000. We used to consider a normal closing approximately 30 days. Now, normal closing times are closer to 45 days due to system delays and lender issues. With the predicted onslaught of buyers, you might want to figure a 60 day closing to be safe in meeting the deadline.
Extra potential delays will be caused by:
Delays in appraisals caused by new HVCC rules.
Lender procedural issues.
Lender system overload caused by too many transactions.
Escrow system overload caused by too many transactions.
County system overload caused by too many transactions (recording issues in last week)
Remember, you should budget 3-4 weeks for your search, so you'll want to be firmly in the process in September.
IMPORTANT! Please read! Thanksgiving Holiday takes out most of the last week of November!
Now to compound the issue, as we look at the November calendar, Thanksgiving falls in the last week of the month (November 26th). The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a King County furlough day (November 25th). The day after Thanksgiving is a legal holiday (November 27th). King County can't record on Saturday or Sunday. Monday is the the 30th, and there is a limit on how many sales can physically close on that last day. Be prepared and think ahead so you don't miss the opportunity for your tax credit

1) I am beautiful. When I first got married, I was both incredibly young and crippling insecure about myself. For the longest time, I had been a tomboy and a late bloomer; by the time I hit my mid-teens, I was already insecure about how I looked.
Some people conflate sabr (patience) with enduring an unhealthy marriage without striving for resolution or positive change, but the Qur'an describes the marital bond as being one of love, mercy, and compassion. A marriage that lacks these qualities can be detrimental to one's emaan, and should not be left to fester.
Not only are we given the opportunity to turn to Allah with a broken heart and find healing in the Words of al-Shaafi, the Healer, but we are now equipped with life skills that will help us recognize our own faults and shortcomings. We are also, inshaAllah, better able to understand and empathize with the ex-spouse, which is an excellent reminder of the importance of humbleness and forgiveness (and how hard they both are to truly embody).

"ATELIER PUBLIC is an exhibition that takes the form of a working artist studio – one that everyone is invited to come into, to make artworks there that will become part of the installation. The exhibition, in GoMA's Gallery 3, will be a space for looking, thinking, exploring and making.
As well as extending an open invitation to the public, the exhibition's curator has also asked particular artists, thinkers and makers who have a special interest in play, creativity and the imagination to engage with the space throughout the duration of the exhibition. These mini-residencies will help to shape and record what happens."
During the week, a friend and I decided to spend a day visiting some of Glasgow's modern art galleries, admittedly, contemporary art galleries are not something I would go out of my way to visit, but there's such a wealth of them here it would be a sin not to take full advantage!
One of the exhibits my friend was keen to see was Atelier Public, on the top floor of GoMA (Glasgow Museum of Modern Art). The exhibition has been running since November 10th, 2011 and finishes today.
I was interested to see how the exhibition space was presented and how the public had participated, considering it was within an official gallery framework (ie. GoMA). I had good fun wandering around, making my own contribution and taking pictures, which you can see below. It felt very informal and comfortable, like being in playschool again, taking part in something communal and far reaching.
Books for inspiration, much like you'd see in an artists studio.
Some more creative and dedicated folk had even crafted complex kinetic objects! They added more drama and interest to the space.
Irony found a space too.
Some people prefer to make a non-artistic contribution, but to participate in the exhibition.
Some additions were more thought out and symbolic.
My addition to the space, some clumsy celtic spirals.
When I first arrived I didn't know much about the exhibition or its concept at all. I haven't flexed my creative muscles in years so I was hesitant to get involved, preferring to admire everyone else's crafts. Soon however, the participatory and relaxed mood of the setting got me eager to get involved. My addition can be seen above! It was an amateur effort, like the majority of the exhibit itself, which was refreshing to see in a gallery setting. No preconceptions, no expectations, just an invitation to get involved!
The GoMA flickr stream for Atelier Public can be seen here.
Atelier Public is part of the Playable Spaces programme, and the curator has been documenting the project throughout its duration, making interesting observations along the way.

MizzB is a mom to a 10 year-old, a working teacher, and a produced playwright. She teaches in a high poverty elementary in LA, where she tries to keep creatively and technologically afloat in the murky waters of educational bureaucracy and high-stakes testing.
There's no avoiding it. Chances are, if you have a kid older than 5, they're going to want to be on the computer. And they're going to want to play games. Often, rather violent games. Boys, especially.
I tried keeping guns out of the house for years, but every time I'd turn around, my child would be turning a garden hose or a stick into a gun or a sword or a lightsaber.
"Are you playing 'bao-bao' (guns) with that upside-down hobbyhorse," I'd ask my sweet little 4 year-old. "Oh no, Mommy," came the innocent reply. "I was playing fireman. See? Water. Pshhhhhh!"
It was a battle, and I was losing, and I didn't even believe in fighting in the first place!
By the time he was seven, I gave up. He was allowed to play video games online for 30 minutes a day. But then that became a different battle—practically a legal one.
"If I play 45 minutes today and tomorrow, then on Saturday when we're going camping, I won't be playing at all, so I can add the half hour to Tuesday and Wednesday and it'll be fine."
My son was trading in video game futures!
Eventually I discovered a site called Aniboom which lets kids build their own animations frame by frame using basic shapes and palettes they can modify. They can loop the animations to create videos, post them for public viewing, see how many hits they get, etc.

Once again we invite you to spend the evening with us playtesting strange and wonderful new things in development for the Jenga-meets-Pokemon, digital-physical stacking game Beasts of Balance, in our studio at Somerset House.
You'll be testing out the next round of Beasts of Balance content, all at varying degrees of completeness, and giving feedback as you play. But that makes it sound a lot grander than it is tbh. In reality it'll be a bunch of people playing games, eating pizza and drinking booze.
Sessions will run from 6:30-9pm (though you don't have to stay for the whole session). After RSVPing please come to the Courtyard entrance of Somerset House's West Wing for 6:30pm, drop us a mail (email@example.com) or tweet (@beastsofbalance) to say you're here and someone will come to collect you.
Feel free to share this with anyone who might like to join!

Journal writing is a wonderful practice. It is a wonderful stress reliever and it also can help track your flares and symptoms. This is something I've been advocating since I was first diagnosed. It really helped me become as flare-free as possible and I know it can help any of the newly diagnosed, as well as some veteran sufferers.
Today in my Goggle alerts I came across this article that is putting a spin on journal writing. It's now on the internet! I guess I can truly forget about the ancient pen and paper now LOL!
Stay fabulous!

The defeatist drumroll for Microsoft has overcome one of my favorite bloggers, "Who Da Punk" of Mini-MSFT fame.
Purportedly a senior manager of Microsoft posting an anonymous blog these last eight years, "Mini" has been an ineffectual - but insightful - proponent for change. His/her blog has also been a useful avenue for Microsoft insiders (and fakers purporting to be) to vent their anguish at the misdirection of the company, its processes and HR issues. It has also become a hater focus. The comments on prior posts are quite interesting and can give more insight into the Redmond giant's internal processes and history than they might like. They're still available.
But new ones are no more. In his latest post Mini makes it clear that he can bear the incessant depression no more. He's hanging up his insider geek hat and will not vet comments any more. After 8 years, he gives up. He may comment on the quarterlies, but he'll not allow comments until the blogging software (this very one!) allows user moderation.
That's the stated reason anyway. My guess is that Microsoft has upgraded their web intelligence and he's fearful of being found out.

Discussion in 'Transformers Video Reviews' started by Peaugh, Jan 30, 2009.
YouTube - Transformers Animated Purple Shockwave
He rocks, enjoy!
awesome as always
Why does everyone have their Longarm face partially showing, mine goes completely in. Anyone says: "Thats what she said!" to my comment will die.
Great review btw.
Huh? The face was fully flipped up at the end there, I was just shooting at a lower angle so the gaps were a little more exposed. And that IS what she said.
Thats what she said!
Sweet...cant wait to get this guy.
Oh I get it.
And if you weren't Peaugh.........
I hope one of Michael Bay's random explosions destroys all your innards.
So do I . I would be honored
what did u use to paint his "eye"?
Just some simple yellow acrylic.
Paint!, Wait does it still light up? If not then I've been deceived!
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, you painted the yellow eye yourself?
I think he did. From everything I've seen, the un-modded toy still has the red eye.
I can't wait to get this guy. I am definitely holding out until him.
Correct. I realized the vid was a little confusing after it had unloaded but had no time to re shoot
Does he still have that failful every-mode Decepticon symbol? I don't want to have to remove that damn thing again when I buy a toy I already have because she has a new hat.
Nope, it's gone.
Tempting as he is, I think I'll stick with hunting the grey one, show accuracy and all. Nice to see a good comparison between Longarm and Shockwave in robot mode though, the engineering on the toy is very impressive!
here ya go.

Editor, the Tribune: It gives me great pleasure to recommend Sarah Read, a candidate for city council for the Fourth Ward. I am well acquainted with Sarah and her family through the First Christian Church, which we all attend.
Sarah�s warm interest in people, her desire to listen and her skill in helping people make decisions were all evident when she chaired the administrative board of our church. Her work on behalf of Columbia Public Schools and other community groups is well documented and further proof of her desire to use her talents to serve Columbia. With her on the city council, I am certain Columbia will continue to become even better than the wonderful city it now is.
Please join me in voting for Sarah Read, who will be an outstanding addition to the city council.

A perverted husband has told a court he only turned to child abuse because his wife got too fat for him to fancy her.
Sick Anthony Michael Bunn, 51, a former RAF engineer who served in both Gulf wars, insisted he was no paedophile, despite his shocking sex attacks on an eight-year-old girl.
He considered that his attraction to his victim had commenced when his attraction to his wife had diminished by reason of her gaining weight
Bunn, who worked for British Aerospace after leaving the forces, said he had never had a sexual interest in children before.
He said his offending "commenced when his attraction to his wife had diminished by reason of her gaining weight."
He blamed his sordid behaviour on being "deprived of adult sexual pleasure."
Bunn, from Marton, was jailed for eight years, with a four-year extended licence period, at Preston Crown Court, on March 24.
He admitted a raft of child sex offences - including two rapes - and Judge Pamela Badley ruled him a "dangerous" offender.
But he challenged his punishment before Lady Justice Macur, Mr Justice Jay and Mr Justice Goss, sitting at London's Criminal Appeal Court.
Bunn had an exemplary service record in the RAF prior to his offending, and he insisted he had not been attracted to children before his wife began to pile on the pounds.
His lawyers said he had been assessed in a psychiatric report as unlikely to pose a future risk to children and the finding of dangerousness was therefore unjustified.
The court also heard that Bunn was wracked with guilt for what he had done.
He had cut his own throat with a razor in a "dramatic" gesture "with the appearance of an attempt at suicide" before confessing.
Lady Justice Macur said: "He considered that his attraction to his victim had commenced when his attraction to his wife had diminished by reason of her gaining weight.
"The fact that he was not having sexual relations with his wife appeared to have triggered his distorted thinking and conduct towards his victim".
Refusing to grant him permission to appeal, however, the judge added: "We are firm in our view that the judge was quite right in assessing him as dangerous.
"He might in the future be in another household where he is being deprived of adult sexual pleasure.
"He had groomed the child and corrupted her. This offending was covert and secretive.
"This was an intelligent man who knew it was wrong but could not stop himself continuing with the behaviour.

your Daddy is becoming very, very impatient waiting for your arrival. This has been building up for a little while but it's gone into a full steam ahead sort of deal ever since Saturday night.
Saturday night was a family dinner and your cousin Dylan is not content unless he is standing on your lap where he can see everyone and is able to dance and bounce about as he so pleases. Your Father thought this was the funniest thing ever and ever since then those little smacks you have been getting on or around your bottom which I might add is smack dab in the middle of my tummy but titled to the left a little, is coming straight from him and not your Mother! I mention this because those nice little jabs to my ribs you have been throwing my way are not appreciated and it is not fair that I must be forced to endure them when he is the culprit behind your hostility and are directed at him. You got me so good Sunday night I about jumped out of my chair and if I didn't know better it was strong enough you could have kicked your way through to the outside. Of course your Dad looked at me like I was an idiot and asked "what was that" as if I just randomly decided to bounce in the recliner for the heck of it.
He is also getting your four legged brothers to join in on getting you sprung from your current residence. I get the phone call from work saying, "Bandit says Addison needs to come out and play now" or "Lennon is ready for his little sister to be here". We all know Bandit and Lennon couldn't care less about whether you show up or not, it's really Daddy's way of knowing that your arrival is imminent and him getting overly excited for the big moment.

The Earth Changes – Weather Conditions Over The Next Thirty Years August 10, 2009Posted by hkinsights in Earth Changes.
Tags: Earth Changes, Earthquake, Storms, Tornado, Tsunami
add a comment
The last Pole reversal was 780,000 years ago and human beings have been around for approximately 200,000 years. When speaking of climate changes and the approaching Earth changes we refer to the chaotic forces of Mother Nature. With a recent rise in chaotic weather conditions, some have suggested that God may be punishing us for living contrary to Mother Nature. Given that each dramatic chaotic event averages roughly between 10 to 30 minutes, nothing could be further from the truth. While compressing all chaotic event times within a geographical region such as California, as though the events were taking place one after the other, given the span of the last 200,000 years, the compressed event time will only account for a few short years. The last great California earthquake in 1906, took place in San Francisco and lasted a few minutes. There have been several other mild earthquakes throughout the years but that was the last great earthquake. Hence, the idea of a Mother Nature as a sheer chaotic force is brought more into perspective, as there are by far more mild temperate weather days than stormy weather days.
An average thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes and an average tornado is 20 minutes. At any given moment, there are roughly 2,000 thunderstorms in progress around the world and it is estimated that there are 100,000 thunderstorms in the United States each year. About 10% of these reach severe levels and only 1% will produce a tornado.
The average earthquake lasts approximately 5 to 10 minutes and while they are disastrous, the quantifiable odds from perishing from an earthquake are 1-in-131,890, according to the World Health Organization and National Safety Council. Additional studies reveal the odds for dying during the following disasters:
Tornado: 1-in-60,000
Lightning Strike: 1-in-83,930
Earthquake: 1-in-131,890
Tsunami: 1-in-500,000
It is true that the approaching Earth Changes will bring dramatic chaotic events throughout the world. Every year, an average of 1,200 tornadoes kill about 60 Americans, injure 1,500 people and cause more than $400 million in damage. Within a span of fifty years, these figures will increase for all chaotic weather events pertaining to the Earth Changes. Based on scientific findings and other research studies, for over the next thirty plus years, these events will appear randomly across the globe.

Health campaigners who wrote to the Prime Minister to raise fears about spending cuts today claimed their pleas had been 'ignored'.
It is believed Blackpool could lose £1.3m from its public health budget as part of nationwide government cuts of £200m.
Last month Coun David Owen, chairman of the 38 Degrees Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre NHS Support Group, wrote to David Cameron warning the poorest residents in Blackpool will bear the brunt of the cuts.
Mr Cameron's office passed the letter onto the Department of Health which has replied saying consultation will begin shortly about how the savings will be shared across all local authorities.
In a letter to Coun Owen, Neil Achary from the Department of Health, says: "The department can assure you that ministers recognise the concerns raised by local authorities on this issue, reflecting the enthusiasm with which they have embraced the public health duties that they were given in 2013.
"However, it is vital to the long-term health of the UK economy and the sustainability of public services that we reduce the deficit, and this means that difficult decisions need to be taken right across government.
"Even with the £2OOm savings, the Government will still have invested £8.5bn through the Public Health Grant over three years."
In Blackpool the public health budget has been used to tackle issues such as smoking, poor nutrition and alcohol abuse in a bid to improve residents' health.
In February, the latest statistics from Public Health England revealed of 150 authorities in England, Blackpool was rated second for people dying before the age of 75 with 549 deaths per 100,000 people.
The resort also topped the table for premature deaths relating to lung disease and liver disease - illnesses linked to smoking and drinking.
Coun Owen said: "The plea for more, not less, financial aid to help combat the very serious health issues Blackpool Council has to face, is ignored.
"Against the background of more massive savings in the NHS generally, Blackpool has little to celebrate.
"The government's official reply to our measured summation of the very serious situation facing our residents is fatuous, unhelpful and disgracefully patronising.
"It fails to answer any of our concerns. Our plea was serious.
"We cannot accept that Blackpool Council must provide community care without the funds to bring about positive change for the life chances of our residents."

By now, it's likely you've heard about the Heartbleed Internet security vulnerability, which has made headlines around the Web, albeit often with a level of hyperbole and technical detail that makes it difficult to evaluate. Let's assume you're not a system administrator, or in charge of a bank or ecommerce Web site. What do you, as a normal user of the Internet, need to know, and more importantly, need to do?
What is the Heartbleed bug? It's a security vulnerability that was introduced to OpenSSL about two years ago. OpenSSL is one of the most common software applications for implementing encrypted (SSL/TLS) connections to Internet servers; these are the secure https connections that we all rely on to protect our communications when shopping, banking, and working with confidential information. SSL/TLS is used by more than just Web browsers too; lots of Mac and iOS apps rely on it behind the scenes as well.
The Heartbleed bug enables an attacker to read parts of the memory of a server directly, assuming it's running a vulnerable version of OpenSSL and is configured in a certain way. Security researchers have shown that the bug can be exploited to reveal usernames and passwords, encryption keys, and anything else that's transmitted or stored in the server's memory.
How bad is Heartbleed? We won't lie — it's extremely bad, and among the worst security bugs we've seen in recent history. It enables attackers to break encryption and potentially access other sensitive information from the server. Worse, it does so invisibly, so Web site administrators can't go back and check logs to see if the site has been attacked in the past.
The Middlefield Banking Company web sites for both middlefieldbank.com, mb-easy.com and online banking are unaffected by the bug.
Should I change my password at every major site I use? No. Only change your password if both of the following are true:
- You know a site was vulnerable.
- You know it is now patched.
Heartbleed is a live exploit, which means changing your password on an unpatched site is more likely to expose it than doing nothing. Avoid vulnerable sites until you know they are fixed, and then go back and change your password. We expect responsible sites will notify their users once they are no longer vulnerable and will make all users change their passwords. That's the other reason not to change your password now; if the site is vulnerable, you'll just have to change it again once they patch their servers.
However, if you do change your password use these simple rules:
- Change your password frequently
- Use a password that contains at least 8 characters
- Include, at a minimum, letters and numbers in your password
- Store passwords securely
- Don't leave passwords where others can find them
- Never share your password
What should I do? Right now, unless you are a server administrator, there isn't much you can do. Test important sites you are worried about, and don't log into those that are vulnerable until they are patched. Keep an eye on your email inbox, and as you get notifications from affected sites telling you to reset your password, do so. As always, if you're concerned about the possibility of phishing, enter the site's URL directly into your browser rather than clicking a password reset link. Yell at any vulnerable site that doesn't patch in the next few days.
There is a lot of hyperbole out there right now. Yes, Heartbleed is as bad as it gets for those of us who manage servers or are in the security industry, but the practical risk to most people isn't the worst thing we've seen on the Internet. That said, we're not complaining about the hyperbole, because it helps us pressure the people that do manage the servers to fix them as soon as possible.
In short, the Internet isn't melting down, but the people who manage vulnerable systems probably won't be sleeping for a while. If you have other questions, feel free to ask them in the comments, and we'll do our best to answer them and update this article as appropriate.

Complete manufacturing solution for wet wipes industry
Lotion Preparation
Flow Wrapper
Lid Applicator
Case Packer
Teknoweb Welcomes Chema Estrada Del Rio to our innovative and creative Nonwovens Team
Teknoweb at IDEA 16 in Boston (3-5 May 2016): mission accomplished!
The connected wipes
The latest innovation in wet wipes production control: The Connected Wipes is the digital solution to simply schedule and monitor the entire production process in order to improve the efficiency of your converting and packaging line and your capacity of planning.
Lotion Preparation
Our equipment for water treatment and lotion preparation is the right complement to the investment in a wet wipes production line.
It consists of sand filter, softners, free chlorine remover, reverse osmosis desalination that guarantee purified water, bacteria free, suitable to be the solvent for the best lotion solution.
Being bacteria free our purified water allows to reduce and even avoid completely usage of preservatives in the finished product, in order to be more skin-friendly.
Our proposal comes in 2 sizes, 2.000 l/h and 5.000 l/h, to pair them to single converting lines or group of 2/3. For bigger production area we provide an array of water purifiers to ensure the right flow and necessary redundancy.
Flat Fold
Converting equipment for production of flat packs, wet wipes folded in longitudinal direction only, are characterized by wide range of capacity and versatility paired with limited footprint.
