The little girl who was fascinated with this calf, ( the winner ), was crouched down and tenderly reached out to touch the calf stroking it under it's chin....the calf seemed to like it....we were stood right behind them walking around the cattle tent, and I just had to catch the ''touch'', it was so pure and innocent to see.

The Chase Tower, also known as Lincoln First Bank (before 1996), is a skyscraper located in Rochester, New York, USA. It is the third tallest skyscraper in Rochester, standing at 392 feet (119 m). It has 27 floors and was constructed in 1973. The architect responsible for designing the building was John Graham & Company. It serves as the upstate NY headquarters of JPMorgan Chase. The building is unique for its outstanding white vertical fins and the fact that it curves outward on the bottom.
The white fins were originally made with marble panel coverings. By the 1980s, however, these began to warp and loosen, some falling to the sidewalks below. These were replaced with painted aluminum panels.
Quite possibly the most infectious song this year. I tried to change up my normal style and keep the original cover's vibe.

A few 'impressionistic' shots from the fringes of the Vatnajökull ice cap. It was incredibly beautiful up there, watching the light flow across the ice-scape.
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Mill Lane, London*. Here are the details of the project
Brief: The brief from this client was to create a low maintenance, accessible and above all stylish garden, suitable for dining and entertaining. The client was looking for a real 'wow' factor and wanted the exterior of their property to mirror the high finish and individuality of their interior space. The existing space suffered from many drawbacks - it had an uninspiring, drab layout and was excessively overlooked from flats above and to the right and left. Its North facing aspect means that it does not benefit from a great deal of sunlight.
Solution: This design created create a stylish and contemporary space with a plethora of visual stimuli that offers extensive opportunity for enjoyment throughout the year.
The existing fencing along the rear and right hand boundaries was clad with opaque purple Perspex sheeting to create a uniform, modern backdrop to the space. Two distinct seating areas, each designed with a different use in mind, were created to allow the client maximum scope for entertaining and relaxation.
The first, in the top right corner of the space, forms the main focal point to the garden and comprises a slightly sunken conversation pit enclosed within a four-poster bed style structure. Constructed from sturdy railway sleepers, this area offers ample space for lounging and serves as a visually imposing talking-point. One side of the structure includes numerous open shelves, allowing the client to display a variety of sculpture and ephemera, while a second side houses a bespoke stainless steel water feature. The water feature itself is comprised of a large stainless steel tank fed from above by two stainless steel water blades. For comfort, large custom-made weatherproof cushions cover the conversation pit floor. These cushions can be removed and stored during inclement weather.
The second seating area, centre left of the space, comprises an L-shaped railway-sleeper fixed bench backed by a railway-sleeper raised bed. Serving as an informal alfresco dining area, this section of the space benefits from a low coffee-style table with a second table at kitchen-counter height, beside which the client has placed a BBQ for alfresco food preparation.
Flooring throughout is in attractive cream travertine, laid in a formal grid pattern and inlaid in the centre with a single rectangular strip of plum slate tiles, providing an elegant contrast to the dark stained railway sleeper structure and seating.
The left hand boundary was clad with stainless steel sheeting to create a stunning backdrop to the dining area. This panelling continues along the boundary beyond the seating area to mask a bespoke storage area in an alcove to the left of the space. The stainless steel theme is echoed with the addition of six stainless steel planters placed at intervals around the edge of the paving.
Planting in the space follows a strong architectural theme, consisting of sculpted box balls and tall, elegant allium in the raised bed, framed by the primeval fronds of dicksonia antartica (tree fern) clustered in the flush bed beyond. The box ball theme is echoed in the stainless steel planters spaced around the paving and a variety of climbers have been placed so that they will gradually adorn the Perspex fencing over time.
A comprehensive lighting scheme was installed with mood and accent in mind. Down-lighters installed within the alcoves of the railway sleeper shelving unit create a centre piece of the sleeper structure, while stainless steel bollard lights frame either end of the bench in the dining area. The paving is edged with in-ground up-lighters placed in front of each stainless steel planter to give balance to the space, while a submersible light installed within the water feature tank casts a gently undulating light across the back of the space. Low voltage spots cast a gentle glow across the back of the space and weatherproof wall-mounted infra-red heaters, one in the conversation pit and one on the boundary wall beside the bench seating, allow continued enjoyment of the garden on chilly nights.
Testimonial: "Many thanks, we are so thrilled with the entire garden. It is imaginative and bold but also practical and truly reflects our personalities! You have transformed an ordinary space into something quite magical."

三洋テクノソリューションズ鳥取謹製、ベネッセのチャレンジタッチ（タブレット端末）。
教材として（既存の紙ベース＆赤ペン先生によるチューター方式に比べて）特段、優れているとは思いませんが、ここで集めれられた全国個々人の学習データがビッグデータとして活用され、今後の教材としての精度が上がることに期待して電子媒体に切り替えました。
このベネッセの試みの延長線上として、もしも将来的に全国の小中学校すべてにタブレットが配られて、そこで集まる生徒の学習データをビッグデータとして分析したら、もの凄い教育改革になると思う。生徒がどこを間違えるのか、どのように解くのか、等々。日本中の生徒の学習傾向を把握して、改善に繋がる教材開発を行えば、日本の国力底上げにも繋がる壮大な話になる。仕組み的には既に可能だし、現場教員の負荷軽減にも繋がるだろうから日教組としても悪く無い話だろうし、なにより教員に属人的だった指導レベルがシステム化されて置き換わることで一定水準のクオリティ担保ができるんだから、ね。
総務省によると、15歳未満の人口は1617万人。ここから未就学児童630万人を除くと987万人。仮にタブレット端末代金が1台あたり12,000円のコストだと仮定しても僅か1,190億円弱で全員に配布できる。一度買えば3年は使えるでしょ。そうすると年額は÷３で400億円弱。これにざっくりとインフラ周りや保守やビッグデータ解析に年額1,000億円、さらにコンテンツ開発に1000億円積んでも総額で僅か年2,400億円で出来る教育改革。え？高い？？政府が掲げる「女性の活躍推進」なんて余計なお節介政策に国は9,000億円（2015年度）もの予算積んでるんだぜ。
・・・という訳で、ベネッセには期待大なのだ。国がやらないんなら、民間企業に託すしか無い。
ベネッセがやろうとしているのが、ただの通信教育における郵送コスト削減と効率化に終わるのか、それとも日本の教育改革になるのか。・・・私は後者に賭けました。

Painting of the new curved overhang was progressing right along at the Southaven Goodman Rd. Kroger when I visited on Saturday, April 12, 2014. The windows beneath that walkway were finally installed, but plastic sheeting was still up blocking the view.

"Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body."
