Blood Vessels and Cardiovascular
Laszlo Vass, Ed.D. Version 42-0008-01-01
Please explain the purpose of this lab. Include in your explanation the major concepts you learned and any safety concerns associated with the lab. Purpose is to understand how the veins and arteries run through the body and how they function while the heart beats, where they deliver and drain blood to/from and how the cardiovascular system works together. Lock up the dogs while dissecting. wear face mask to protect from smells and splatter. take caution using sharp objects. do not be distracted.
Exercise 1: Microscopic Structure of Blood Vessels Observations Sketch your slide in the space below and label the structures indicated in the procedure. Be sureto include a description of the structures you observed on the slide
A. Describe the three layers of the wall of an artery.
Tunica Externa (adventitia): strong outer covering (also found in veins). It is composed of elastic fibers, collagen and connective tissue. This layer allows for stretch and prevents overexpansion of the artery wall from blood flow and pressure.
Tunica Media: Smooth muscle, elastic fibers. They are thicker in arteries than in veins to prevent a rupture in the artery. Vasomotion (change in the diameter of the blood vessels.
Tunica Interna (Intima): Inner layers of elastic membrane lining and smooth simple squamous called endothelium. This layer is exposed to blood and secretes a chemical that stimulates dilation or constriction of the vessel. Also helps repel platelets and blood so they do not stick to the walls--->>> Thrombus or clotting--->>>Can also occur if damage happens to endothelium. This layer is also selectively permeable.
B. How do arterial walls differ from venous walls? There are 3 class sizes of arteries vs veins. Also the resistance of the vessel walls. Arteries are extremely strong resilient tissue structure because of the way the heart beats. Each beat creates a surge of pressure so they must be more muscular and allow for stretch than veins.
C. What is the function of valves in the peripheral veins? Allows for blood to flow upward against gravity towards the heart. It prevents improper downward flow which can lead to varicose veins.
D. Why are arteries deeper than veins in the body? There is a great pressure of flow through the arteries and in order to keep them protected they need to be deeper into the body than the veins. If they arteries were vulnerable and became punctured they artery would allow a faster flow of blood out of the body causing the person to lose blood very quickly. It would be life threatening. Blood flow through the veins is slower so damage to the veins are much easier to repair/heal. Arteries need to be able to withstand the high pressure to reach vital organs.
Exercise 2: Identifying the Major Arteries and Veins
on a Cat
A. From the aortic arch to the superior vena cava, list the major arteries and veins that deliver and drain blood from the head of the cat. RIGHT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY, LEFT EXTERNAL CAROTID, LEFT INTERNAL CAROTID, LEFT LARYNGEAL, LEFT SUPERIOR THYROID, LEFT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY. INTERNAL/EXTERNAL JUGULAR VEIN, SUBCLAVICAL VEIN, BRACHIOCEPHALIC.
B. Name the blood vessels that deliver and drain blood to and from the heart. AORTA, PULMONARY TRUNK, ARTERIAL DUCT, PULMONARY ARTERIES. VEINS= SUPERIOR/INFERIOR VENA CAVA
C. Describe the branching of the aorta as it leaves the heart. Where does it go? 1. CAROTID ARTERIES (HEAD AND NECK), 2. CORONARY ARTERIES (SUPPLY BLOOD TO THE HEART), 3. HEPATIC (LIVER), 4. MESENTERIC (INTESTINES), 5. RENAL (KIDNEYS), 6. FEMORAL (LEGS)
D. Name the major arteries and veins that deliver and drain blood to and from the upper appendages.
Right Side of the Body: subclavical (shoulder area), Axillary (arm), Brachial (above elbow),...

I would just like to say thanks to all the subscribers and those who have recently subscribed to Stamphenge.
To clarify, the blog portion of this site posting is intermittent as the site is mostly composed of hundreds of pages, which I update often.
As I was surfing, I came across this post of 60 free spring time printables, with Easter just a few weeks away, maybe someone will find one of the projects useful.

As you can see, I've become a loyal reader of Wonderzine, and for once I'm happy to put my Russian to some use. I've never been a huge fan of my mothertongue, but I must say that reading about Kit Harrington's muscles in the Pompeii trailer in Russian kind of makes it all acceptable. You know how the girl magazines are - men celebrities, lol cats, and the endless question what to wear. Wonderzine is no exception, but they seem to know how to put it right.
Thanks to their accurate summary of best flower-printed garments I have set my eyes on the Acne Studios sweatshirt.
I own only two flower printed garments, both are Dries Van Noten (surprise surprise Mr. Flowerprint), from the shop where I work, but there's something much more subtle about the blurry aquarelle flowers and the cloud-like volume of the sweatshirt. Wearing it with monochrome printed trousers sounds perfectly plausible - something to look for at Dries Van Noten stocksales, but first a little trip to Acne Studios boutique in Antwerp come next week!

December 18th, 2017
Monday - so.. we had nothing planned today, so we were just walking around knocking doors, and haha we found a house with 2 emus in the yards (a small ostrich) so we played with them for a bit. Then I said a prayer for God to guide us towards someone we could teach. So my comp says "hey let's go to this members house and ask for a reference". So we went by and ended up helping her put up her Christmas lights, then they invited us in to teach his non member daughter (who we had taught before) but then they told us about their 9 year old granddaughter who isn't a member and wants to be baptized, so they gave us that reference and we'll be teaching her soon.
Tuesday - We had district meeting today and I cant remember what we talked about exactly, my memory is failing me in my old age. But I went to another area today in intercambios in a place called Beautiful Italy. It wasn't really that beautiful though, just a bunch of nasty fields with garbage in them. But we did a couple visits today to some of the investigators of my district leader.
Wednesday - In the morning I couldn't shower because there was no water in the house, then today was probably the hottest day of the week, and I was smelling pretty ripe! Then we went to Nico's house but he was sleeping, so we went to some members house to visit them, and went to Nico's house a little later, and taught him about baptism and enduring to the end then in the afternoon we went to the Coasini's house to have lunch, and then we helped paint the house of her daughter. Then afterwards we started chatting with the daughter and she went to church a while ago. But never got baptized because she never prayed to figure out if it was true. So we watched the restoration with them and put a baptismal date with the daughter and her son, and they said yes, so we have 2 more baptisms for the 20th.
Thursday - Today we visited a couple people, the main one was the Vicente family, (the family we visited on Monday) and we started teaching Mia the granddaughter. So we started with the basics and put a baptismal date for the 13th for her.
Friday - We visited Nico again in the morning and we taught him the commandments and he is understanding pretty well everything. Then in the afternoon we taught Mariela and her daughter outside of the hot dog cart. Then we played futbol at the church to finish off the day, and I am improving a lot!! I'm actually not bad anymore, everyone still kills me though.
Saturday - We went to Nico again with a member his age to get him some friends, and taught him about the sacrament and why it's important. Then in the night we had a noche de hogar with Victor an investigator we have, and we watched The Hand of The Master.
Sunday - today was great, not really anything happened in the afternoon, but Betina and Facundo (the Coasini's daughter) and Mia Vicente, and NICO!!!! wooo he finally came, and haha he told us he probably wouldn't sing the hymns, and at the end I saw him moving his lips singing a little bit. But he really liked it, he said it was really calming, and the Coasini's daughter also really liked church as well.
Well this week was awesome because we basically secured 4 baptisms for next change, so hopefully we will be able to help all of them continue to keep coming and make sure they are converted, and not just baptized.
Love you guys,
Elder Grigor

Yesterday I visited the special exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario titled The Great Upheaval: Modern Masterpieces from the Guggenheim Collection. The focus pieces were created between 1910 and 1918 by forward-thinking and often abstract artists such as Picasso, Marc, Delanay (favourite), and Kandinsky (sometimes frightening).

Style vs. Substance
In the constant pursuit of trying to un-do the paradigms embedded in me by traditional schooling (let's face it, it's a fun thing to do), I have recently discovered that style can be as important as, if not more important than, substance. The assumption has always been that "it's what's on the inside that matters," … Continue reading
The Changing Definition of the Word "Curate"
Let's begin with an aside, to catch your attention and present an alternative meaning of the word that I am interested in today: a curate is a "member of the clergy engaged as assistant to a vicar, rector, or parish priest." Coming from the Latin cura, meaning care, a curate's job is to care for the … Continue reading
Art Appreciation for Non-Specialists
My favourite room in my old high school is the art room. Large well-worn out desks; old boxes of paintbrushes, pen and ink supplies, and pastels; small works of student art pinned on every available wall surface; and a huge worktable across the back, splattered with all kinds of paint throughout the years, still fully … Continue reading

Planning a trip for you and your main squeeze? Need a little inspo? Look no further than recently launched site, 100GramsofSun – sure to never leave you in short supply (trust).
Founded by dear friends, husband and wife duo Nanda Hampe and Bartolemo Toto – she a model, he in finance, together they scout the world for extraordinary destinations. 100Grams of Sun, tells the story of travel via wanderlust imagery – all shot on an iphone, btw(!) – then offers recommendations as to where to visit plus what to see in each locality.
Take a scroll through their instagram @100gramsof sun (and now on the site) to discover the places, fantastical situations and wild scenarios they've dreamed up – each locale is cast with a range of characters including flamingos, giraffes, elephants, camels and more, set in picturesque niches around the world.
With a motto of "Let's play – don't grow up" The founders of this awe-imspiring site encourage us to see the world through the wide eyes of a curious child. As Nanda, notes "Children live in the present moment and see the world in a different a light – a brighter one."
So, without further ado, we tapped Nanda for her travel must-haves and top destination to hit up with your partner in crime.
Warning: You will want to book your flights upon first sight.
5 key travel essentials if you're only taking a carry on:
Bikinis – all shapes and colors, you can never take enough! Best suits are from Kiini!
Gigantic scarfs that double as a travel blanket – I am always cold on planes and when traveling in the early morning hours. A favorite brand of mine is Lisa Kling.
Mophie extra i-phone battery – I'm constantly out of battery and we take all pictures on the iphone!
A photo prop – It could be anything from a Flamingo Float, to big hats or vintage cameras. Usually we decide on one prop per trip. I often find cool props on sunnylifeaustralia.com.
AND! Phil, my teddy bear, he hasn't missed a single trip with me in the past 20+ years.
On your favorite destination+hotel that you and Barto have visited:
Thailand. Sri Panwa in Phuket.
Perfect to go as a couple or as a family. Secluded luxury but lots of action and party if wanted.
A simple hack when researching a location before going:
The obvious is we research a ton online, but a simple trick we do is we check the various hashtags related to the location on Instagram to see what a place ACTUALLY looks like AND in what condition it is in at the moment. Most people post in real time, so this is usually a great indicator to see the weather conditions, hotel conditions, etc.
On the most "can't miss" awe inspiring, geographical wonder:
Red Lotus Lake in Udonthani Thailand. It's surreal. 1000's of pink water lilies naturally grow and bloom in this lake seemingly in the middle of nowhere and as far as the eye can see – the only place in the world you can find this. I would recommend coming to witness this natural wonder in late November or early January – but be prepared to rise only to catch them as they blossom from sunrise to 11:00 am.For a little romance, a couple should go:
To the Amalfi Coast! It's magic. I have lived there in the past and we return every summer. Although we have been there year after year, each time we still discover new romantic corners. Make sure to visit the Grand Hotel Tritone, Praiano (this is where the stairs are in the picture below 🙂 Italy is love.
For a "sporty adventure", a couple should go:
Go to Jericoacoara in Brazil is an amazing spot to go a some surf. (and kite surf) It is also a little adventure to get there as as of right now there are only stone streets leading to Jericoacora. From there do not miss to visit the Lencois Maranhenses!
And for a city trip, a couple should go:
Since I always love myself some colors, great food, stunning architecture and a cool city beach, Barcelona. Easiest answer.There are so many pics of you and animals, how do you get those shots?
Pure luck! Animals are unpredictable. But usually food helps. And not being scared of them helps, too. They sense it if you are 🙂
3 tips for couples looking to take the perfect holiday photo:
+ One of the best tips someone gave us when we first started and so I'll pass it on – always catch the light.
+ When editing your photos, make sure to straighten the horizon, it adds to the quality of the image.
+ Lastly, I find it gives an image a pop to wear a colorful dress especially in contrast to nature.

No Undies! at the Sarasota Film Festival
Solo Travel Girl | 4.22.10
by Jennifer Huber
OK, I'm not really a stalker but I did have a fun time playing amateur paparazzi on the red carpet of the 2010 Sarasota Film Festival last weekend. Check out this blog post with my observation about Patti Smith's red carpet appearance.
A burning question many fans may want to know, does Mr. Vincent D'Onofrio wear boxers or briefs? Well…
First, be sure to check out these two articles, "2010 Sarasota Film Festival Conversation with Vincent D'Onofrio" and "Vincent D'Onofrio's 'Don't Go in the Woods".Actress Patricia Clarkson, Sarasota Film Festival April 17, 2010
Looking for more photos? check out my 2010 Sarasota Film Festival Flickr stream and this YouTube video of Vincent D'Onofrio.
So, does Mr. D. wear boxers or briefs? During Sunday's "In Conversation With" series, Vincent said he wasn't wearing either! Hmm…

My goodness!! What other answer could he possibly have given to a question like that. In a couple of those pictures he looks like he is blushing, probably after a question like that. Isn't he just too cute? Guess that's just for Carin to know if it's briefs, boxers or um nothing.

My thoughts is that if it was 'nothing' we would have noticed that a long time ago. I agree though, saying "nothing" was a nice way of saying, it's none of your business.
- April 23, 2010 at 3:52 PM
- Lizzie said...
texasfan, most of us DID notice a long time ago....it's kind of difficult NOT to in some scenes, and I guess jamie missed the interview some years ago where Vincent was asked what his favorite body part was. For the sake of the 'easily shockable' let's just say it wasn't his thumb! ;)
Lizzie (still happy!)
- April 24, 2010 at 4:18 AM
- texasfan said...
Lizzie, don't think I haven't tried to notice. I just haven't. Maybe I'm just looking at that gorgeous tall hunk of a man. I've looked at all of his series (wore out season 3; had to get another one).
- April 24, 2010 at 4:09 PM
- Lizzie said...
All I can say is 'Rocketman' was an apt title....and that's only ONE instance :)
- April 25, 2010 at 5:03 AM
- jamie said...
No I did not miss the interview, i just think that is a personal question for anyone to be asked, my personal thought. I focus more on his work these days.

Gahhh, Drools. So the rumors are true. Lovely thought.

On Teaching and Talent
On Teaching and Talent
Over a decade ago, I decided to get my teaching license. Poetry was great and all, but I wanted a job with benefits. I wanted health insurance. I wanted to earn more than five bucks a poem. I wanted to have a skill that the marketplace would reward…by at least more than 5 bucks a poem.
So I got licensed to teach Spanish to grades 7-12. That license has lapsed, of course. I will never teach Spanish again, which is fine with me. Goodbye, verb conjugation. Goodbye, weekly vocabulary quizzes. Goodbye, reading 'culture reports' on students' visits to Chevy's Fresh Mex. I will never miss any of that shit.
Thankfully, all the same pedagogy applies to teaching writing; organizing a class, deciding how download information, planning activities, assessing student needs.
I teach at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. At the Loft, they call us Teaching Artists. This embarrasses me. I think of 'artists' as primarily visual. And I don't think of teaching as artistic, really. Though it is, I guess. There's an art to it, but mostly it's an art assembled of knowledge of brain science, psychology, public speaking, etc.
The 'art' I use in writing a story is very different than the 'art' of creating a class.
ANYWAY. The point of this post is to address the issue of talent. My students are all teenagers. And they are preoccupied with talent. Do they have it? Will they have it? If they have it, will they get published? How do they get published? How soon do I think they'll get published?
All this anxiety. It makes me sad. I want to say, Wait. Sit down. Relax. Life is not all about grades and judgments.
I want to say, Go learn other stuff. Go fall in love. Go get your heart broken. Go fail at something in a spectacular way. Become an expert in something weird, like mycology or stardust. Go meet a bunch of strange fucked-up people. Go travel to someplace you've never visited.
I want to say, Talent, Schmalent. Would you write even if no one read your writing? Would you write even if you never published anything?
I write because it's the one thing I do that makes me feel like myself. Like time is stopping. Like time doesn't matter. I have written since I was able to, in diaries and journals. I wrote zillions of unfinished stories when I was young. I tore them up. I have tons of unseen poems on my hard-drive. I wrote lots of hand-written-and-mailed-letters; now I write lots of emails. I write blog posts. I write essays that no one ever sees. I can't stop doing this. I never want to, either.
In the face of such preoccupation and obsession, who really gives one fuck about talent?
The question shouldn't be about talent. The question should be, Am I obsessed enough with writing to do it for the rest of my life, regardless of kudos, acclaim or recognition?

Sometimes I feel bad for not writing for a decade. Well, not "feel bad" so much as "be hard on myself." But then I remember, even though I did a lot of stupid shit as a twentysomething. A. LOT. I needed to figure out who I was. It takes making a lot of mistakes to do that, I think, especially if your childhood was mostly about learning how to endure suffering.
So anyway, yeah. Now I write. Even though I have no education after high school, even though I have no MFA, I write. It remains to be seen whether I have any talent for it, but yeah – fuck talent anyway.Sarah Ahiers on Jun 18, 2013
AND! The best thing about that determination to sit your ass down and just get to work, is, if you do it long enough, you'll get better at it, and your talent will shine through.

As the song says,
"A great many of them,
As you know, passed away,
But we reverence their memory
On their Patron's Saint's Day.
Each day of the year,
when the bell tolls,
Just say a few prayers,
For the repose of their souls."

Hiiiii! :)
I'm back with another update from the torture chambers of university... haha!
|Yep. That's me in a lab coat. I frikking love it! :)
It's not quite that bad but a few weeks ago it certainly felt like it. We've broken through 'the wall' and are now in the home straight. Everyone is in agreement that as long as I get my assignments in and make it to at least a few lectures a week then we're all cool. I can't begin to express just how much of a relief it is to have a mental health specialist advocating for me when she meets with the head of my school. The support at Sussex is absolutely incredible and I absolutely could not have made it this far without them.
My exam dates have been finalized: 28th May, 2nd June and 3rd June. Lectures finish on 11th April so that's plenty of time to revise - thank god.
I have to commend the support of the mental health services here too; an absolute world away from where I used to live. You can tell where the funding goes... which makes me sad for the people trapped with a service barely scraping by and doing the best they can.
I've only had to file mitigating evidence for one piece of coursework for the entire academic year, which I think is pretty damn good going considering how rocky things were at times... and still are to a certain extent.
I'm not well. But we knew that. The trouble is, we don't know exactly what the 'diagnosis' is. There aren't many conditions that encompass prolonged depression, severe anxiety, psychotic symptoms, dissociation and mood swings. I'm still waiting to see the psychiatrist, baring in mind I was referred in November '13.... In the back of my mind, after almost a decade in the mental health services, I think I know what s/he will say. This isn't me self-diagnosing, it's just a lot of experience, research and education, and joining the dots.
After so long, to finally have a name for the beast that has taken so many years away from me would be such a relief. If we know what it is, we can target it better, so I can live without all these restrictions. I'm not one of these people that lets a 'label' consume their identity. I just want to be 'well' again. I'm so tired of living in fear, questioning everything and clawing my way through the days.
In other news: Remember my ATOS medical a month or so ago for ESA? I chased them up earlier on in the week, and it turns out that a letter is on it's way to me. I have been put straight into the 'support' group which I know is a rare thing to happen on the first time around. I'm relieved, but also saddened by it. Solid proof that I'm really not well enough to work. STILL. It's just.... ugh.
There is a minor issue, however. I might be in the support group now, but I'm not seeing any money from it. The person I spoke to said I was only awarded national insurance credits. This happens when your contributions to the state purse aren't enough to get anything back out of it. In principal, fair enough, but what I don't understand is that people who have never worked get the payout and those that did then became unwell somehow can't.
So. In this situation what you do is get a national insurance contributions statement from the HMRC. I need to find out what the 'cut off' limit is and see if voluntary contributions can release the benefit payouts. I know my contributions have been paid by incapacity benefit since 2009... It's so confusing and this system is ridiculous.
Of course, as soon as I get any more information I will share it!
I will leave you with some pictures of Lily taking a giant step forwards in her harness training! :)
Disclaimer: before anyone gets all up in my face about having Lily on a harness, let's remember three things:
1) She is a house-cat and has only experienced the outside world in her carrier or when she is in the cattery.
2) She is 3 and a half years old. She has spent her entire life with me inside the safety of 4 walls. You imagine going outside after that long....
3) Harness training is not cruel. It is for her own safety, reassurance and sense of security. I even use an XS dog harness as the cat harnesses were too flimsy for her to feel safe in.
Bonus: We do not force her outside. EVER. She went out of her own accord with Alex holding her lead and seeing me in the garden so she knew it was safe. When it's just me and her, she won't move from the door so she definitely needs me out in the garden to prove it's safe for her. I try encouraging her by sitting on the steps but it's not enough at the moment. An extending lead is a bad idea at the moment as she would have the 'freedom' to run over a fence if she were to get spooked by something.

Grass in a perennial bed is certainly an unsightly nuisance. But did you know that it also competes with your perennial flowers for water and nutrients? Grass in a perennial bed should be killed as soon as it crops up to prevent further spreading. However, resorting to herbicides to kill grass is inadvisable. Herbicides are difficult to apply with accuracy and can harm your perennials and make your garden a toxic place to work
Stick your trowel 4 inches into the ground next to a clump of grass. Uproot the clump in its entirety (or as big a section as your trowel can manage).
Place the uprooted clump on a piece of cardboard.
Grab the blades of grass growing out of the uprooted section of soil. Hit the soil against the cardboard to remove any excess dirt.
Throw the grass clump and any clinging dirt into the bag.
Upturn the dirt next to the grass you removed to look for any remaining grass roots. Toss them into the bag as you find them.
Repeat steps one through five until all of the grass in your perennial bed is removed.
Check the dirt that remains on your cardboard for any roots. Toss any that you discover into the bag.
Return the de-rooted dirt to the perennial bed. Fill any low spots in your perennial bed with aged compost.
Throw the contents of the bag into the compost bin. This will kill the grass.
Keep grass out of your perennial bed for good. Stick a garden header around the border of your garden, at least 8 inches deep into the soil. This will keep your lawn from creeping into your flower garden. Then, spread 1 inch of organic mulch over your perennial bed to prevent grass from taking root.
Things You Will Need
- Trowel
- Cardboard
- Aged compost
- Garden header
- Organic mulch
- Bag
- Do not use hay or straw as mulch. It often contains seeds.
- Do not compost any aggressive stoloniferous spreading grasses. Bag them and throw them in the trash.

Miles: A life in architecture
Celebrating the achievements of leading New Zealand architect Sir Miles Warren
Best known for the Christchurch Town Hall and Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre, Sir Miles Warren is the doyen of post-war New Zealand architecture, the first New Zealander to be knighted for services to architecture, an Icon of the Arts Foundation of New Zealand, and a leading figure in the arts in Christchurch. The garden at his Governors Bay home, Ohinetahi, beautifully crafted by Miles with his sister Pauline Trengrove and her husband John, has also secured for him a reputation as one of our most remarkable garden designers.
The exhibition Miles: a life in architecture, mounted in celebration of Miles's 80th birthday, presents him as an architect, as a traveller and watercolourist, as a sensitive designer working within the constraints of heritage build- ings as diverse as St Augustine's Church, Christ's College, the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament and New Zealand Parliament House, and as a gardener.
Miles Warren began his career in architecture as a sixteen-year old pupil of Cecil Wood, while studying in the evenings at the Christchurch Atelier - part of a distance learning programme for architectural students unable to study at the University of Auckland's School of Architecture. After a period combining work and on-the-job training, with evening class work at the Atelier, Miles moved to Auckland to complete his studies as a full-time student.
Miles: a life in architecture provides a comprehensive survey of some forty years of architectural practice.
After graduation Miles returned to Christchurch, to the office of architect Bill Trengrove, before heading to London in 1953. There he worked for a time in the architectural office of the London County Council, developing the Alton West Estate at Roehampton Lane – a modernist mid- and high-density residential project. Miles was strongly influenced by contemporary Danish and Swedish architecture, introducing his own version of the Danish enfamiliehuset in the reinforced concreteblock houses with which he was so closely identified; houses characterised by their steeply pitched 45-degree eaveless roofs just one room wide, low door-height single-storey walls, and fair-face concrete lintels with expressed form work. These classic Miles Warren houses revolutionised domestic architecture in Christchurch and much farther afield, being imitated by many.
Soon after returning to Christchurch, Miles joined forces with former fellow student Maurice Mahoney, creating the firm that still carries their names: Warren and Mahoney. Their first project, the spare, modernist Christchurch Dental Nurses' Training School of 1958-9 was followed by a succession of fine buildings that established Warren and Mahoney's reputation – buildings such as the seminal Dorset Street flats, Carlton Mill flats, the Christchurch Wool Exchange in Whiteleigh Avenue (now a church), the Harewood Crematorium, his own residence and office at 65 Cambridge Terrace, and, most impressive of all, the residential blocks and chapel at Christchurch College (now College House).
A constructivist aesthetic and modularised construction was as characteristic of the early commercial buildings as concrete block and fair-face concrete was of the early houses and flats. It was first employed in the Chapman Block at Christ's College, and then in several mid-rise office blocks such as the SIMU Building, Canterbury Frozen Meats office, the CML building and Insignis House.
Opened in 1974, the Christchurch Town Hall was the most ambitious and complex of Miles Warren's buildings from the first twenty years. It marks the culmination of his interest in modernism, and is a convenient milestone marking his growing fondness for the eclectic, often wilfully decorative forms of postmodernism, a 1970s reaction against the functionalist ideals of modernism. The contrast between Christchurch's Town Hall and Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre (in many respects closely similar projects), is the contrast between the culminating work of Miles's first two decades, and the new aesthetic which came to mark his work of the late 1970s and 1980s.
By now Warren and Mahoney was a substantial practice employing a large team of architects, and with an office in Wellington as well as Christchurch. The mid-rise office buildings of Christchurch began to make way for high-rise projects generated by the rebuilding of Wellington, and the growing commercial prosperity of Auckland. The New Zealand Government commissioned a splendid Chancery building for Observatory Circle in Washington. Warren and Mahoney's first all-brick building, it was designed to be contextually appropriate in a neighbourhood of brick Georgian-styled houses and the adjoining British Embassy by Edwin Lutyens.
Two buildings – Union House in Auckland from 1982, and Trust Bank Canterbury three years later - saw Miles explore a new functionalist aesthetic, with the structure of the buildings expressed externally. These were countered by the more decorative forms that characterise buildings such as Clarendon Tower in Christchurch, Wellington Club and 80 The Terrace, and Wellington's Bowen House. Yet others - the TVNZ Network Centre in Auckland, National Insurance House in Wellington and the closely similar Sofrana House in Auckland - are sleek buildings with taut skins of reflective glass and metal. Rotorua's Civic Centre, the grand Mulholland House near Wanganui, and, especially, the superbly crafted St Patrick's Church of Napier, are the most rigorous and perfect of Miles's postmodern designs.
On retiring from Warren and Mahoney in 1994, Miles took with him his old school and long-term client, Christ's College. Over the following years he continued to add to that extraordinary collection of heritage buildings, while also practising as an independent architect from home. In a recent project – again working with heritage buildings – he bridged two grand Park Avenue buildings, one a house by Hurst Seager and the other a house by his former employer and mentor, Cecil Wood, to produce the 'Parkbridge' apartment complex. It is one of the most appealing adaptive reuses of heritage buildings achieved in recent years. Now, in the concluding months of his 80th year, Sir Miles Warren is still an active and energetic architect.
Miles: a life in architecture provides a comprehensive survey of some forty years of architectural practice. It also offers a selection of architectural watercolour paintings supporting his building proposals; a number of travel watercolours – meticulously observed and lovingly executed studies of buildings and architectural details – and unsuccessful competition entries for two museum projects, the Museum of New Zealand and Christchurch Art Gallery. Informal video interviews by Gerard Smyth introduce the exhibition visitor to Sir Miles, his sister Pauline and partner Maurice Mahoney. Large models present the Washington Chancery and Christchurch College Chapel in the round, and a final selection of photographs takes the visitor on a tour of the garden at Ohinetahi.
Miles: a life in architecture
Celebrating the achievements of leading New Zealand architect, Sir Miles Warren, this exhibition reveals his contribution to modernist architecture and his success as a watercolourist and gardener.
The Lines That Are Left
Of landscape itself as artefact and artifice; as the ground for the inscribing hand of culture and technology; as no clean slate.
— Joanna Paul
The residential Red Zone is mostly green. After each house is demolished, contractors sweep up what is left, cover the section with a layer of soil and plant grass seed. Almost overnight, driveway, yard, porch, garage, shed and house become a little paddock; the border of plants and trees outlining it the only remaining sign that there was once a house there.
Above Ground
An exhibition exploring the impact of architecture, imagination and memory.
Artist interview
The fault is ours: Joseph Becker on Lebbeus Woods
There was a packed auditorium at CPIT in Christchurch this August when visiting San Francisco Museum of Modern Art curator Joseph Becker delivered a lecture on architect Lebbeus Woods. And it wasn't hard to guess why. In addition to many other achievements, Woods is renowned for his highly speculative project, Inhabiting the Quake. Senior curator Justin Paton spoke to Becker about Lebbeus Woods, and what Christchurch might learn from him.
Laying out Foundations
Looking broadly at the topic of local architectural heritage, Reconstruction: conversations on a city had been scheduled to open at the Gallery but will now instead show on outdoor exhibition panels along Worcester Boulevard from 23 June. Supplementing works from the collection with digital images from other collections, curator Ken Hall brings together an arresting art historical tour of the city and its environs.

The Garden of Cosmic Speculation
Over several years I have worked on a Scottish landscape called, immodestly, the Garden of Cosmic Speculation, speculating with scientists and others on the fundamental laws and forces behind nature and what they might mean to us. Using growing nature to conjecture on what is basic to the universe is an old practice common to gardeners, but it raises some unlikely questions.


text: A fabulous theme of "Birthdays" has come to an end. The girls loved designing their perfect birthday dress, and beautiful cakes. The thought into designing menus, themes, decoration and games was filled with energy and fun. They loved their party yesterday fulfilling their visions of the perfect birthday party. Well done girls.

Pupil premium is additional money which comes into school with a specific purpose. This fund is calculated based on the number of children who are registered for Free School Meals or who have registered for free school meals at any time in their primary education. The amount is £1,320 per eligible pupil. This money is aimed at improving educational standards for more deprived children and closing the gap which statistically (nationally and in our school) exists between their attainment and others.
Schools are entitled to develop and determine their own priorities for using this money but are of course accountable for showing that it has been used for the purpose stated.
We are absolutely committed to ensuring that our Pupil Premium children have the same opportunities as their peers and over their time at our school are supported to close the gap between their academic attainment and their peers.
The allocation in our school for 2016-2017 is £58,080. This money will be spent to support deprived children across the school. Further details are given in the strategy document below but in brief: this will continue to provide a non-class based SENCO / Parent Support worker to support vulnerable families ; a Teaching Assistant to work 0.5 to develop children's social and emotional health; Teaching assistant time for early language development work in Reception and Key stage1; Teaching assistants to deliver specific learning interventions and to enable teachers to spend focused time with pupil premium children; Some additional teacher time to allow for 1:1 or group catch-up sessions; the purchase of a reading comprehension scheme.

BBQ Chicken Wonton Cups
The new year is almost here so I am coming up with some appetizers, like these BBQ Chicken Wonton Cups, to celebrate. Every New Years Eve my family gets together, we eat and play board games and have a great time. I love it. We have had this tradition since I was a kid. So I do it with my kids now. These would be great for any party or get together you are having, or even just for dinner!
*Disclaimer: Please note that this post may contain affiliate links. I only recommend products that I believe in fully. See privacy policy for more information.
BBQ Chicken Wonton Cups
This appetizer is healthy and delicious! You need these ingredients. Chicken breast, your favorite barbecue sauce, onion and garlic powder, chicken stock (or water) coleslaw mix, sesame ginger dressing, greek yogurt, and sriracha! You could replace the chicken with pork if you prefer that.
I have a cool little tip for shredding the chicken breast. First, you will boil the chicken breast. I put frozen chicken breast in the pot, cover with water and cook about 30 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl and use your hand mixer to shred it. YES, I said your hand mixer. It shreds the chicken perfectly (see picture below). I will never shred chicken another way again! I use my hand mixer to mix in the BBQ sauce also.
You need a cupcake pan for this recipe. You will line each of the cups with 2 wonton wrappers, there is a picture below. This makes them extra sturdy for grabbing and eating. Make sure you spray each cup very good so the bottoms of the cups get crispy.
While these are in the oven you will make your coleslaw mixture. It's super simple, just coleslaw, plain greek yogurt and sesame ginger dressing. If you eat this by itself it tastes a little tart and over dressed but I promise it is perfect on top of the cups!
Once they come out of the oven, top with with the coleslaw mixture and sriracha! You can leave off the sriracha if you don't like spicy food, but it is such a great addition to these BBQ Chicken Wonton Cups.
Then enjoy!

Qatar is the richest country in the world per capita and the host to 2022 FIFA World cup. It is also home to some of the most exploitative working conditions anywhere. Workers toil in diabolic slave environments and are deprived of their basic human rights. Workers are paid far less and they don't have passports so they can't go home. In this investigative report, PRESS TV's Johnny Miller goes to Doha and sees the shocking reality of the harshness the workers have to face to put up the World Cup. Many are simply worked to death. Johnny finally tries to find answer to the question whether Qatar should have been given the honor in the first place or not?
Qatar, the richest country in the world per capita and the host of the 2022 world cup. Also, home to some of the most exploitative working conditions anywhere.
On this week's Infocus we expose workers living conditions and ask whether Qatar should be hosting the world cup at all.
In part 1 of this film we exposed the shocking level of exploitation in Qatar. How virtual slaves are toiling to build a modern state in the desert. In part 2, we will ask whether Qatar should have been given the honour of hosting the 2022 world cup at all.
The Industrial Area on the outskirts of Doha. Home to tens of thousands of workers. This is the engine room of Qatar's construction boom.
Walk in to one of them, take a look around and you'll see a side of Qatar that you wont find in the glossy tourist brochures.
WORKERS We have been here for two months. And for two months we haven't been given beds.
They say they will give. But they don't.
I was even told of one man who had to sleep sitting up. The toilets are the most shocking of all.
WORKERS I've been working here for 6 years. So has everyone here but our salary has never increased. I have only been home once in that time. I had to buy the ticket myself. The company gave nothing. I had to buy the ticket from the company even though it was cheaper elsewhere. The company never gives tickets. The company is called Marco.
These workers were promised decent pay, accommodation, food allowances and a paid ticket back home every two years. When they arrived their passports were taken and their salarys drastically cut. Every promise has been broken. They took out huge loans to come here and now struggle to send any money back home.
WORKERS I got sick and I had to go to the hospital. I had to pay for the treatment myself and the company cut my salary for going.
For many in the construction industry, its tiring work, 6, sometimes 7 days a week. Health problems are endemic. It is estimated that 4000 workers will have died by 2022. Largely from heart attacks due to working too hard under the scorching sun and to work place accidents.
WORKERS There has been one guy who died here.
He lost consciousness and he fell down. He had just finished work and was walking to the bus.
The company said that when they sent the body home they would send money as well but they never did.
Some companies in the Qatari construction industry are better than others. This company, Marco, is definitely amongst the worst. But the stories heard here are similar to those heard right across the industrial area.
WORKERS Some of the people here want to leave but every time they go to the office to ask, they don't permit them to leave.
There is a culture of fear in Qatar. Few will speak on camera, scared of being sacked and left with no income at all. The government refused us an interview. At Doha's central hospital one official did speak to us. We secretly recorded and have changed his voice to protect his identity.
Perhaps the most shocking aspect of exploitation in Qatar is not how poor the workers are but how rich the rest of Qatar is. Per capita it is the wealthiest country on earth. With only 300 000 official citizens it has the world's third largest oil reserves.
With that money, the country has invested heavily in Europe. They own…
Europe's tallest skyscraper, The Shard. London's exclusive Harrod's shopping centre. Paris St Germain Football Club, offering players a 1 million Euro bonus each if they won the champions league. They have large stakes in Barclays bank and Sainsbury's supermarket as well as owning swathes of London's Canary Wharf.
And in their own country a construction boom has led to a modern metropolis in what was once a desert. They've also built a sprawling artificial island, called the Pearl where rich Arabs shop and western expats live.
Qatar's skyline is a mirage. From afar it looks like a bustling metropolis but get up close and much of it feels like a ghost town. Many of these towers only have a few inhabitants. Some are completely empty. Only a few are full. With only 300 000 citizens its difficult to see how these towers will ever be fully occupied. And bizarrely, building continues. More towers are being built every year.
Once again, the strangest thing… it's a ghost town. It feels like a movie set. Dozens of retail outlets lie empty, the canal waters calm, except in the evening when joy riders race. The only noise to ever be heard here.
A Security Guard stops us.
The absurdity of Qatar lies in its extremities. Thousands of flats lie empty while those who build them are huddled up to 18 in a room sometimes even without beds.
The next day we got a real estate agent to show us round the Venetian flats. We pretended to be prospective tenants. Only a few of the flats are up for rent. The rest are bought as investments. Wealthy investors from all over the world buying the flats in the hope that in a couple of years they will be worth more. Then they will sell them on. They have no plans to live in them themselves.
The interior of the flats are cheap. Thin walls and inexpensive fittings. Yet, they are currently valued at upward of 3 million Euros each.
The world cup is expected to cost Qatar over $200 billion dollars. In contrast the recent world cup in South African cost just $3 billion. They will build more hotels, vast new transport networks and 8 brand new stadiums, even an entire new city. The stadiums will likely only host a few matches and then sit empty or be dismantled.
The main winners will be Western constructing firms who stand to make billions of dollars.
Such madness can perhaps be understood in how Qatar won the right to host the tournament. In a haze of corruption.
The 10 year old daughter of one disgraced FIFA official reportedly received 3.4 million dollars after her father voted for Qatar.
Another official was allegedly paid 2 million.
Its not just construction workers who have it tuff. We were invited to the accommodation of some of the taxi drivers.
Drivers are paid far better than construction workers but their sleeping conditions are similar.
One of them wants to show me what they have to share their beds with.
They struggle to send money home and are in constant fear of making mistakes.
They stick there fines in their rooms as ironic trophies.
On some days we would follow busses back from some of the huge construction sites. We would be confused as the busses would leave the roads driving off into the distance.
This camp has become a sprawling town. Thousands of workers live here. The nearest shops are over an hour walk away. Sometimes they don't have running water. The water they do have is salt water.
Perhaps the most badly treated are domestic workers. While we were in Qatar, Amnesty International released a report.
"My sleep is my break" one of them said as many are forced to work 100 hour weeks as virtual slaves.
In one of Doha's sports centres a basketball match is taking place between a team of mechanics and a team of security guards. All Phililpinos, these workers are amongst the better paid.
In the Philipino embassy, every month dozens of workers come to escape. The organiser of this charity explains why.
The penalty for rape in Qatar is life imprisonment but it is usually the housemaids themselves who are charged with illicit relations, so few complain. Effectively there is no danger of repercussions if a housemaid is raped.
We had heard about a football match that was to be played. So we thought we would hitch a ride with some of the spectators.
Nepal was playing the Phillippines and lots of workers were invited.
There was a carnival atmosphere as Nepalese and Phillipino musicians were invited to perform. And then the football began. This is the image of workers that Qatar would like the world to see.
Although the Government is making some progress in improving the lives of workers and most are undoubtably better off than they would be in their own countries too little is being done.
The die has been cast. Qatar will be hosting the 2022 world cup. Perhaps with international pressure the tournament will be an opportunity to improve workers conditions but the sad truth is that thousands of workers will still die in putting on what is essentially just a football tournament.

For those who have traded for just about any time period, you begin realizing where other e-small traders are establishing to consider trades. Sometimes I'm very impressed using the positioning some traders utilize to go in trades sometimes less. Obviously, within my personal buying and selling (and i'm certain most traders feel by doing this) I've specific trades which have been effective for me personally however, I've several trades that lots of tell you they are solid trades which i just cannot appear to complete correctly.
But there's a particular trade which i see regularly, and it is usually performed by smaller sized e-small traders, knowing from the moment and purchasers dialog box. This trade is frequently known as "bounce" trade and frequently occurs along important or significant lines of support and resistance. I generally check this out trade within the lunch hour and through periods of low volume buying and selling.
The trade is really a easy one. Frequently occasions, once the cost has moved via a significant support/resistance line, it's not uncommon towards the cost action retrace to the lately pierced support/resistance line after which resume in the original direction. I am unable to quote with any amount of precision the success/failure rate about this trade, though I've come across many small e-small traders take substantial losses when attempting to complete this trade.
The bounce trade can frequently require an e-small trader to consider an entry position within the other direction the marketplace is presently moving which entry is generally from this trend. No auspicious method to begin a trade, as you would expect. But missing any major active e-small traders (because the volume is usually low) the cost oftentimes includes a inclination to assist towards the just pierced support/resistance line after which bounce five to six ticks back in direction of the initial cost movement. For small traders, this five to six tick gain is exactly what the physician purchased.
But there are a variety of problems that needs to be considered using the trade, and consideration and care ought to be utilized before applying this trade, because:
– The bounce trade is frequently from the trend, which considerably lowers your opportunity for achievement.
– The bounce trade is usually performed over lunchtime (when small traders are active as well as their buying and selling includes a disproportionately large impact on market cost.) But buying and selling during low volume periods could be, at the best, a hard proposition. Market orders that will ordinarily have little impact on cost can, due to the low volume, create more dramatic cost movement than most traders would normally suspect.
– This develop of small traders add in a print distinct cost level results in a situation that may be a position of danger, particularly if a genuine floor trader who takes a desire for moving the marketplace within the other direction from the expected bounce. What began like a simple five to six tick scalp can leave a little trader pressing the boundaries of his stop/loss position.
