The Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With a total height of 829.8 m (2,722 ft, just over half a mile) and a roof height (excluding antenna, but including a 244 m spire[2]) of 828 m (2,717 ft), the Burj Khalifa has been the tallest structure and building in the world. The building was opened in 2010 as part of a new development called Downtown Dubai. It is designed to be the centrepiece of large-scale, mixed-use development. The decision to construct the building is based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil-based economy, and for Dubai to gain international recognition.

Happy New Year folks! For my first picture in 2024 I build this miniature backroom of the Steins;Gate Future Gadget Laboratory. Luckily this location is well documented online and for reference I mainly used this render by ninjo3D. It was a fun built and came together petty well. Hopefully it can make up for the fact that I didn’t included the most interesting part of this figure.

So I have been working on this for a week. I have now figure out how to add the rig, make the animation, add the mesh modifier upload the mesh, and script it to work. There is a crazy limitation on distance, and I developed a hack to get more distance on the animations. I'm sure I know someone thinking, "how is he getting the distance so far"

Kristina is an 18 years old ballet dancer in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the ballet hall of the Sarajevo Music School closed due to COVID-19, she had to practice in the confines of her little room for 5 months.
Now Kristina has received some good news. The school building, which is protected as a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been given a face-lift, as part of UNDP’s effort in partnership with the Embassy of Sweden to contribute to environmental protection and economic development of the country. When she returned, she was pleasantly surprised:. The building where she has been going for the past seven years is no longer drab and dilapidated. She now gets to do all the spins her heart desires!

I had a successful molding run yesterday, and as a result there are now two different versions of the BrightScreen: the original microprism style on the left and a new one with a diagonal split image spot inside a microprism collar, shown on the right. This was I think the fourth molding run since the spring of 2018, and we seem to learn something on each run. We're actually getting pretty good at this now......
Makes for a long day, though, as the molding shop is a bit of a drive from home. I left the house at 7:30 yesterday morning and got back home at 9:30 last night. But I have enough screens on hand now that I won't have to do it again for a while.

From 1990 onwards, the former owners often were returned their buildings and now they use them or rent them out after elaborate refurbishment.

Zwischen etwa 1890 und 1930 erhielt der Platz im Wesentlichen seine heutige Bebauung. Zahlreiche Bürgerpaläste wie der Palac Koruna (Nummer 1), das Haus Diamant (Nummer 3), das Lindt-Haus (Nummer 4), das Hotel Ambassador (Nummer 5), das Schuhwarenhaus (Nummer 6), das Haus zur goldenen Gans (Nummer 7), das Peterka-Haus (Nummer 12), Hotel Tatran (Nummer 22), Hotel Sroubek (heute Hotel Europa) (Nummer 25), Hotel Adria (Nummer 26), die Böhmische Bank (Nummer 32), das Wiehl-Haus (Nummer 34), das Melantrich-Haus (Nummer 36), der Palac Letka (Nummer 41), Haus der Böhmischen Sparkasse (Nummer 42) oder der Palac Fénix (Nummer 56) entstanden in dieser Zeit.

Der 16. Januar 1969
Mahnmal für Jan Palach und Jan Zajíc
Am 16. Januar 1969 verbrannte sich der tschechoslowakische Student Jan Palach selbst und lief in Flammen stehend vom Nationalmuseum auf den Wenzelsplatz. Er protestierte damit gegen den Einmarsch der Truppen des Warschauer Pakts in die Tschechoslowakei im Jahre 1968 und der daraus resultierenden Niederschlagung des Prager Frühlings. Heute erinnert ein Denkmal an der Stelle unterhalb der Wenzel-Statue, wo Palach zusammengebrochen sein soll, an die Geschehnisse. – Im folgenden Monat wiederholte Jan Zajíc diesen öffentlichen Protest an der gleichen Stelle.

Der Aufruf erfolgte vom Balkon des Hauses mit der Nummer 56. Nach dem Tod von Havel im Dezember 2011 trauerten tausende von Menschen auf dem Wenzelsplatz um Václav Havel.
In an exclusive interview with China.org.cn on March 3, Sri Lankan Ambassador to China Karunatilaka Amunugama discussed his travels within the country and his expectations in attending the annual sessions of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People's Congress (NPC).
One of the most important issues to be discussed at this year's sessions was regional imbalances, Amunugama said. On a recent tour of Qinghai and Gansu provinces in northwest China, the ambassador observed that the government has been looking for ways to accelerate growth in underdeveloped regions. The ambassador noted that in his travels, he noticed various factors can contribute to urban development.
"Inner Mongolia is one of the largest provinces in China with a very small population. Its Erdos is a newly emerging city with its per-capita GDP reaching as high as US$30,000. It is a very rich city because they have a lot of coal and minerals," Amunugama said. Gansu, he said in comparison, "has well-established schools and hospitals, but it doesn't have many [natural] resources. So the development of those particular counties or cities doesn't necessarily reflect people's incomes." The ambassador said he believed that this point would be brought up during this week's sessions.
"We would like to see China become more global and work with the international community on common issues," Amunugama said.
China has had the tradition of allowing foreign ambassadors to observe its CPPCC and NPC sessions to promote understanding of the country's policy deliberations in the international community.
The CPPCC is a very important part of people's lives, Amunugama said, because it discusses "what the country needs at the village level and also the national level."
"We can listen to what Chinese leaders think of the past as well as the future. These [issues] are not only important to Chinese people, they are also important to the international community, particularly Asian countries," Amunugama said.
"We are looking forward to seeing the opening ceremony," Amunugama told China.org.cn prior to the start of this year's CPPCC session.
This year saw the 63rd celebration of Sri Lanka's Independence, which fell on February 4, and it will also mark the 54th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Sri Lanka. On March 10, the Sri Lankan embassy will hold its National Day celebrations in Beijing.
