Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə βəˈʎːo]) is a renowned building located in the center of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces. A remodel of a previously built house, it was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. Gaudí's assistants Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, Josep Canaleta and Joan Rubió also contributed to the renovation project. The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality.
Like everything Gaudí designed, it is only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, has unusual tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work. There are few straight lines, and much of the façade is decorated with a colorful mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadís). The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the lance of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia, Gaudí's home), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.
History
Initial construction (1877)
Antoni Gaudí in 1910
The building that is now Casa Batlló was built in 1877 by Antoni Gaudi, commissioned by Lluís Sala Sánchez. It was a classical building without remarkable characteristics within the eclecticism traditional by the end of the 19th century. The building had a basement, a ground floor, four other floors and a garden in the back.
Batlló family
The Batlló family
The house was bought by Josep Batlló in 1900. The design of the house made the home undesirable to buyers but the Batlló family decided to buy the place due to its centralized location. It is located in the middle of Passeig de Gracia, which in the early 20th century was known as a very prestigious and fashionable area. It was an area where the prestigious family could draw attention to themselves.
In 1906 Josep Batlló still owned the home. The Batlló family was very well known in Barcelona for its contribution to the textile industry in the city. Mr. Josep Batlló I Casanovas was a textile industrialist who owned a few factories in the city. Mr. Batlló married Amalia Godo Belaunzaran, from the family that founded the newspaper La Vanguardia. Josep wanted an architect that would design a house that was like no other and stood out as being audacious and creative. Both Josep and his wife were open to anything and they decided not to limit Gaudí. Josep did not want his house to resemble any of the houses of the rest of the Batlló family, such as Casa Pía, built by the Josep Vilaseca. He chose the architect who had designed Park Güell because he wanted him to come up with a risky plan. The family lived on the Noble Floor of Casa Batlló until the middle of the 1950s.
Renovation (1904-1906)
The atrium; Gaudí convinced Batlló to let him expand the central well of the building to let in light, instead of rebuilding.
In 1904 Josep Batlló hired Gaudí to design his home; at first his plans were to tear down the building and construct a completely new house. Gaudí convinced Josep that a renovation was sufficient and was also able to submit the planning application the same year. The building was completed and refurbished in 1906. He completely changed the main apartment which became the residence for the Batlló family. He expanded the central well in order to supply light to the whole building and also added new floors. In the same year the Barcelona City Council selected the house as a candidate for that year’s best building award. The award was given to another architect that year despite Gaudí’s design.
Refurbishments
Josep Batlló died in 1934 and the house was kept in order by the wife until her death in 1940 . After the death of the two parents the house was kept and managed by the children until 1954. In 1954 an insurance company named Seguros Iberia acquired Casa Batlló and set up offices there. In 1970, the first refurbishment occurred mainly in several of the interior rooms of the house. In 1983, the exterior balconies were restored to their original colour and a year later the exterior façade was illuminated in the ceremony of La Mercè.
Multiple uses
In 1993, the current owners of Casa Batlló bought the home and continued refurbishments throughout the whole building. Two years later, in 1995, Casa Batlló began to hire out its facilities for different events. More than 2,500 square meters of rooms within the building were rented out for many different functions. Due to the building's location and the beauty of the facilities being rented, the rooms of Casa Batlló were in very high demand and hosted many important events for the city.

Rapid population growth can be a contributing factor to both greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerability to climate stresses. Early childbearing, high fertility rates, and short birth intervals are associated with poor maternal and child health outcomes as well as lower educational attainment and work force participation, which directly impede women’s ability to participate and invest in climate change adaptation. However, the positive benefits of voluntary family planning, either for emissions reductions or adaptation, have not figured prominently in climate policy discussions or those related to improving access to family planning.
To address this gap, the Population Reference Bureau and Worldwatch Institute formed an international Population Dynamics and Climate-Compatible Development Expert Working Group to identify policy opportunities to increase investment in family planning in climate-sensitive development initiatives. Join us for a presentation about the working group’s report and discussion with select working group members.

He contributed greatly to the liturgy of the Synagogue Service. His most famous works were composed during his tenure as musical director at the Neue Synagoge in Berlin and his melodies form a substantial part of synagogue services around the world today.
The Weißensee Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery located in the neighborhood of Weißensee in Berlin, Germany. It is the second largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. The cemetery covers approximately 42 ha (100 acres) and contains approximately 115,000 graves. It was dedicated in 1880.
The land was bought by the Jewish community of Berlin (German: Jüdische Gemeinde zu Berlin), comprising - besides congregants of orthodox and reform affiliation - mostly observants of mainstream Judaism (in today's term described at best as conservative Judaism). The old Jewish cemetery in Große Hamburger Straße, opened 1672, had reached its full capacity in 1827. The second cemetery in Schönhauser Allee, opened in the same year, reached its capacity in the 1880s, offering only few remaining gravesites in family ensembles mostly reserved for widows and widowers next to their earlier deceased spouses. Weißensee Cemetery was designed by renowned German architect Hugo Licht in the Italian Neorenaissance style. It was inaugurated in 1880. The surrounding walls and main building (where the archives are kept and the cemetery is administered) were constructed with a distinctive yellow brick. A second building (built in 1910) was destroyed during World War II.
The grave plots are arranged into 120 different sections, each with its own geometric shape. The lavish way in which the more well-to-do individuals and families interred here chose to fashion their mausoleums using the latest art nouveau designs is very apparent.

German theatre has contributed its own unique and diverse style towards Arts. It comprises a different mixture of music and drama. Initially Germany missed behind when England and Spain were acquiring in their own theater trends. The Germans were all of the time involved in war and spiritual riots which deflected their tending from the area of arts. There was also a deficiency of suitable capital which could become the epicenter of such progress. The old stories had a very gothic look and were not brushed up sufficiency. But once the interest was modernized it became more of an ethnical interest which later on resulted in an academic interest with various universities allowing classes in the several field of arts. The theater was one place in Germany where people were free to convey and interchange their ideologies.

A healthy state of mind is about challenging yourself, creating something that takes you out of your normal comfort zone. Something that initially feels awkward often has more longevity. We decided to bastardise two popular movements: Pop and Op art - in a disposable way. One uses optical illusions and geometric abstraction the other is characterized by themes drawn from popular culture. If our healthy side is about challenging the norm then our un-healthy side is our ever-increasing reliance on recreational and prescription drugs as well as our battle with mass consumption.
Future proofing design is near impossible but decent ideas are permanent.

RE: The End of an Era
Show full header
Dear Vols or Voles!
Firstly a big thank you to Mr Willis for his ramblings, amusing as ever. I request that I receive further ramblings as they make me smile and sometimes laugh out loud.
Thank you very much to all of you who came along yesterday to my farewell task and shindig, shame it wasn’t dry and sunny but hey ho we know what the weather can be like.
Thank you to all of you who contributed to my lovely gifts. In case you didn’t know I had a £130 (!) book voucher to spend at NHBS (Natural History Book Society), some lovely earrings, two huge mugs with animals and flowers on, two notebooks, a candle and a cuddly toy ie. Great Uncle Bulgaria from The Wombles, ooh and a cake that said Good Luck Liz. So I was thoroughly spoilt and rather over whelmed. I mustn’t forget I also had a very special present from Jock...it was in a dog poo bag which was decorated with stick on flowers and a good luck...I carefully felt and sniffed it first before gingerly opening it to find a long curled up....sausage...phew! So Jock ate his present to me!
I know I made an attempt at a speech (as you know I’m not very good at them and you lot don’t usually listen to me anyway!! J) and I hope I conveyed just some of the gratitude I have for all that you do. I should probably have said more but I might have started blubbing and I didn’t want to do that especially as we’ve had so many laughs and fun over the years for which I’m truly grateful. I will miss you all very much but will see some of you again (even next Tuesday as I’m coming along to the task at Flitton Moor to do a handover with Tim).
Thanks again for everything (it doesn’t seem enough but I hope you know it’s very heartfelt)
Take care of yourselves and each other.
Liz
Subject: The End of an Era
I’m sure the few sad people who put up with my nonsensical emails at the end of a day at SSNR will quite happily forego the tortuous ramblings of my mind as I write this homage to ‘Our Liz’;
It is with both deep sadness and great joy that we say farewell to the lady who has attempted to bring normality, nay sanity (and sanitation) to such a disparate (or is it desperate?) bunch of would-be do-gooders. Deep sadness because she is leaving us for pastures new (Wot was wrong with the old pastures I’d like to know?) [Actually I do, so no emails please, I’d never get chance to read them all].
Great joy because you can’t have high joy which is strange when you can have deep sadness. But I prattle. Great joy because she is moving on to new adventures, new challenges, new people (well that part’s easy considering how old some of us are, not that I’m speaking about myself you understand). But I will not say a new life, for Liz is not abandoning the old, not forgetting it, merely adding another exciting chapter to the wonderful story that is Liz Millbank. [Pass the tissues/bucket – delete as appropriate].
More often than not it has been Liz who has looked after us for the past six years. [I was going to say ‘was in charge’ but that would be pushing things]. Always reliable (15 minutes after the rest of us), Liz has known how to get the best out of us [the police call it intimidation/threatening behaviour], and always known when we’d had enough [the strong ones went home, the weak ones cried]. And if the stick didn’t work, then she’d use the carrot – what a nasty piece of vegetable that turned out to be!
And yet we learned so much. We have a lot to thank Liz for. We know how to cut things down (Moffatt excluding).We know how to start fires, although putting them out has always been a weak point. We can now survive the rigors of the wild where Ray Mears would be the stain on some furry animal’s chin. We know how to make fires out of things we’ve cut down. We can work under the most trying of circumstances. We know how to burn things we’ve cut down. We can sound convincing when we make up excuses, especially when we’ve cut the wrong things down and burnt them. We know how to hide in a newly mown field far away from the fire of things that shouldn’t have been cut down and burnt. We know how to hold our breath under water [whether or not there’s a boot on our chest], especially when surrounded by flames. We know how to shin up a tree in less than 10 seconds [just in front of a viciously carved vegetable], providing of course that it isn’t the tree that’s on fire. And yet despite all our failings Liz has never resorted to foul language, bad yes, but never foul, [well almost never]. We know how to be diplomatic to neighbouring landowners when they harangue us about cutting things down and burning them, or letting their horses eat our ragwort, [you didn’t think I’d not mention the ragwort?]. We know where not to drive land rovers in boggy fields and through this we know how to get out of sticky situations!
I’d noted so much more but someone burnt the piece of wood I’d whittled them on. And that’s another thing Liz has taught us to do in the woods!
And then there is Liz the councillor. Always knowing how to look interested, or wear dark shades. What to say and when to keep silent, but not be sleeping. She always knows the right questions to ask, the right feelings to express, the right time to walk away and find someone more interesting to talk to. In short, she has always made a person think for one small moment in time they were interesting and what they said and did mattered. And that means a lot to some of us dull, boring old{ish} .....(complete as appropriate).
So as Gerry Standing almost said to Sandra Pullman, the Eastern Voles say to Liz Millbank;
“We hate to say this, but you’re right to go. God knows we’ll miss you. These past few years we’ve felt that we’ve achieved something, and it’s all down to you. You’ve treated us better than any boss could (and quite often we didn’t deserve it). But you don’t belong here anymore. No, you belong out there where there’s more exciting stuff to be done. And we’re all big enough and ugly enough to cope. You’ll miss it. You’ll miss us. But there’s just one thing; When you walk out the door, don’t look back.”
Actually that last bit’s wrong. Look back. Look back and see a load of smiling faces waving you ‘Good Bye and Good Luck, never forgot, as we will never forget you, Joan.’

This past summer, undergraduates from the Duke physics department worked alongside physicists at research hotspots around the world, contributing to work on neutrino detection, the Higgs boson, a next-generation telescope, and more. In the process, they not only learned how to apply classroom concepts to real-world problems, but also gained insight into themselves and their plans for the future.
Aaron Webb, a senior from Arizona, worked on the ATLAS project at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. “It gives you a different perspective because it’s a very different dynamic than in a classroom where there’s a clear distinction between professors and students,” he said. “It almost surprised me how much people there treated me as if I was just another scientist.” Webb, whose advisor is Prof. Al Goshaw, worked on data analysis related to scattering of electroweak bosons, a project he intends to turn into his senior thesis.
Webb traveled to CERN as part of the REU program (Research Experience for Undergraduates). Fourteen undergraduates from colleges and universities around the country participated in the NSF-funded program at Duke this summer, which is a joint venture between TUNL and Duke’s high-energy program. Four of the REU students—including Webb—spent the first half of their summer at Duke and the second half at CERN.

Patriotic Fundraising Card for Australia Day 30 July 1915.
(Foundation Day)
Supporting the troops through patriotic fundraising was also a way that those unable to fight could contribute to the war effort.
While most of us associate Australia Day with 26 January, in 1915 that date was celebrated as Foundation Day and only in New South Wales, as each of the colonies had their own commemorations for their founding. During the First World War, the concept of a national ‘Australia Day’ was instead part of a wider fundraising plan where money was raised by declaring a special ‘day’ on which events such as auctions, stalls, performances and street collections were held to encourage the community to contribute to the war effort.
The success of ‘Australia Day’ in 1915 saw a repeat of similar events the following year, this time on 28 July, and in the subsequent years of the war.
Australian people during other fundraising days saw an ‘Australia Day’ as a way of drawing on the pride of Australians in their soldiers’ recent achievements at Gallipoli. 30 July 1915 was the date agreed upon, and events were held across all of Australia. Ribbons, badges, handkerchiefs, buttons and other items were sold to raise funds, with phrases such as ‘For Australia’s Heroes’, ‘Help Our Wounded Heroes’ and ‘The Turks Struck their Match in the Australians’ which appealed to people’s sense of pride and patriotism. From a population of just under 5 million people, the day raised over 311,500 pounds in Victoria and more than 839,500 pounds in New South Wales. Today, that figure would be close to $623,000 and $1.7 million respectively.
Australia Day, celebrated on 26 January to commemorate the arrival of the First Fleet, was originally known as Foundation Day. It was not until after the Second World War that the Commonwealth and state governments agreed to rename the celebrations on 26 January as Australia Day.
Back in 1915, it was then a very generalised nominated name for any chosen date by any State to help raise funds to support our war efforts. A simple Google search on how Australia Day, as now celebrated on 26th January, came about explains all (Foundation Day became a national Australia Day, but it wasn’t back in 1915). It became nation-wide only in 1935 but an official national public holiday from 1994 – so recent!). If anything, a real “Foundation Day” would be, or should be, 1st January (from our federation in 1901). A Foundation Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the founding of a nation. This day is for countries that came into existence without the necessity of gaining Independence, which is what we did. Prior to that we were just ‘colonies’ called states.

**Fort Missoula Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 87000865, date listed 19870429
Reserve St. and South Ave.
Missoula,MT (Missoula County)
The Fort Missoula Historic District is composed of 32 contributing structures, a post cemetery, two historic parade grounds, and two groupings of foundations (those of the 19th Century Officers' Row and those of the World War II internment camp barracks) that date from the district's period of significance from 1877-1944 and are directly associated with the historical development of the Fort.
Fort Missoula, the only permanent military post in Montana west of the Continental Divide, was established in June, 1877. The strategic intent of the choice of the Fort location was for greater military control of the Indian tribes of western Montana and to assure the protection of white settlers from hostile Indian attack. By 1877, however, reservation lands had been established in western Montana and few major uprisings occurred which involved the soldiers.
Fort Missoula's significance rests less with its direct military role in quelling uprisings and more with the sequence of non-combative military uses of the property by the federal government and the consistent contribution Fort personnel have made to local economic development. Through the years, Fort Missoula has been used as the headquarters for the Black 25th Infantry Regiment, the place from where the potential military applications of the bicycle were explored, a government training school for skilled mechanics to aid in the World War I effort, the largest Civilian Conservation Corps Headquarters in the United States during the 1930's, a detention camp for Italian artists and seaman as well as Japanese-Americans during World War II, and, for a short time following World War II, Fort Missoula became a medium security prison camp for American soldiers.
