I developed a knitting pattern for this hat. It is available on my blog: I am so proud of finishing this pattern. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun. The free pattern can be found on my blog: projecthallway.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/project-hallway-t...
Built in 1935-1939, this Modern house, an example of Organic Architecture, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. to serve as a weekend retreat. The house was a catalyst for the revitalization of Frank Lloyd Wright’s career, who was in his mid-60s at the time, along with two other commissions around the same time, the Johnson Wax Headquarters and the Jacobs House I, which were critically acclaimed and explored a bold new direction of organic architecture that was heavily inspired from their natural surroundings, and were streamlined, dropping most of the ornamental pretenses of his earlier work. The house was built for department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., his wife, Liliane Kaufmann, and their only son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., to serve as the family’s weekend retreat, with room to accommodate a small staff and guests alongside the family. The Kaufmann family became acquainted with the work of Wright through Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who read Frank Lloyd Wright’s autobiography in 1934, and was so impressed that he decided to intern at the Taliesin Fellowship, where Edgar, Sr. and Liliane first met Wright while visiting Edgar, Jr. The family, at the time, resided in a traditional-style mansion in Fox Chapel, near Pittsburgh, and had a small rustic cabin overlooking the waterfall at the Fallingwater site. The cabins were falling into disrepair in the mid-1930s, which prompted the Kaufmann family to contact Wright to design a replacement structure. Wright visited and surveyed the area around Bear Run in 1934, but shelved the project while pursuing other work for the next few months, thinking through the design, before being surprised by a visit from Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. in September 1935, which prompted Wright to quickly draw a concept for a house at Bear Run, producing the initial design drawings in two hours. Edgar, Sr., upon seeing the plans, was surprised to see the house soaring above the waterfall, as he had expected it to sit below the falls in order to view them from a distance, but Wright’s charisma convinced a skeptical Kaufmann to buy into the concept.
The house was designed by Wright with input from structural engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters to feature large cantilevers, which allowed it to embrace the waterfall and topography below, while providing ample outdoor space and the desired number of bedrooms and living spaces within. A second wing was constructed above the main house, linked to it via a covered breezeway, which houses a carport, servants quarters, and a guest suite. The stone utilized in the house’s construction was quarried on the site, and it utilized reinforced concrete in its construction, a building technique with which Wright was inexperienced, but which the design would be impossible to implement without utilizing. Kaufmann was skeptical of Wright’s experience with the technique, as well as the cantilevered forms of the structure, and commissioned an engineering report, compiled by an engineering firm, which caused Wright to threaten to walk away from the incomplete project. Kaufmann relented in the face of Wright’s ultimatum, and had the documents buried. However, the contractor, feeling uneasy about the strength of Wright’s design, added extra reinforcement in secret, which was revealed during the building’s restoration. Other changes were made due to skepticism of the cantilevered design, but many of these were reversed, which proved the resiliency and strength of the design. The house came in far over budget, but despite these cost overruns and complications with the design, the Kaufmann family enjoyed it as a weekend retreat between 1937 and 1963. Liliane Kaufmann died in 1952, and Edgar Kaufmann, Sr. died in 1955, leaving the house to their son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who continued to utilize the house as a weekend retreat, with his life partner, Paul Mayén, becoming a regular visitor to the house as well. In 1963, Edgar, Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, along with the surrounding property, which was converted into a nature reserve, and the house was opened for public tours.
The house features multiple reinforced concrete cantilevers, wrap-around windows facing the falls and Bear Run, open, transparent corners on the side of the building facing the creek, stone cladding on the more opaque portions of the facade, large terraces on the cantilevered portions of the building, open tread staircases inside and outside the building, red metal trim, a suspended concrete canopy over the breezeway connecting the guest wing and carport with the main house, a swimming pool on the terrace outside the guest wing, rocks embedded into the floors of the interior of the house, a staircase from the living room down to Bear Run below, and red concrete floors inside. A driveway, following Bear Run, crosses a bridge next to the main wing of the house before following a narrow corridor between the main wing and an adjacent stone outcropping, before turning and arriving at the upper wing, which originally housed a four-bay carport on the lower floor. The interior of the house is very open to the exterior, with low furnishings that allow for maximization of the views out of the windows, and is home to art that was collected by Liliane, books collected by Edgar, Jr. and Paul, and furnishings collected by Edgar, Sr. The house’s kitchen features yellow-painted metal cabinets and appliances, and chrome handles, the living room features a fireplace with a spherical beverage warmer that is designed to swing over to the fireplace from its storage location next to the fireplace and coffered ceilings, and horizontal bands of trim, and various portions of the house feature built-in desks, cabinets, wooden slat screens, and bookshelves, simple beds featuring wooden headboards and nightstands in the bedrooms, and bathrooms with cork tiles, sunken bathtubs, ceiling-mounted shower heads, and toilets with wall-embedded tanks. The upper wing of the house has a carport and guest suite on the lower floor, with servants quarters above, and the main house features a living room, dining room, kitchen, terraces and lounge on the first floor, a primary suite and secondary bedroom and bathroom with large terraces on the second floor, and a suite intended for Edgar, Jr. on the third floor, which was later partially converted into an office. The house is very broad in the direction parallel to Bear Run and has a living room that cantilevers over the creek, but it is very thin, being rather thin, with primary interior spaces featuring windows that look out onto Bear Run below. The house, despite its size appearing massive due to its spatial arrangement, has only a small interior square footage, but the space is efficiently designed to offer maximum utility to the occupants, and allow a close connection with nature.
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It was designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 2019. A visitor center was constructed on the property in 1977-1979, designed by Paul Mayen. The most visible modification to the house since it was opened to the public were the enclosure of three carport bays to house a museum and presentation space for visitors. The house underwent major alterations to its structural systems in 1995-2002, involving analyzing the performance of the cantilevers over time since the house’s construction, as the bold cantilevered forms had insufficient reinforcement and had deflected substantially, nearing their failure points. Additional steel supports and post-tensioning in the form of steel cables were added to the building to support the cantilevers, which has halted the progression of the deflection of the structure, though it is monitored by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in order to detect any further movement of the structure. The house today sees over one-hundred thousand visitors annually, and is one of the most well-known works of Wright, as well as being one of the best-known houses in the United States.

Lippo Memmi Madonna and Child With Saints and Angels Italy (c. 1350) This painting is an example of Mongolian influence on art in Medieval Europe. The intricate gold figures on the hem of the Virgin Mary’s robes is actually Phags-pa Mongol script. This practice of using Mongol script in European Medieval art went unnoticed until Japanese scholar Hidemichi Tanaka published his findings…in 1983. A related phenomenon is the use of Pseudo-Kufic (nonsense letters that look like Arabic to Europeans) script often used in similar artworks. The purpose appears to have been to make the cloth seem extremely fine-the best and most expensive cloth known to Europeans at the time all came from the Islamic nations of the Middle East, and nations farther east like China. The Mongolian invasion of Europe also had the effect of bringing trade in this kind of fine cloth with it-as well as the script used to decorate clothing in paintings like this one.

We are proud that Georgia can serve as an example of how all three branches of government can be efficiently involved in the OGP process, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili addressed the participants of the Open Government Partnership 5-Year Anniversary Event.
According to the Head of Georgian Government, since the establishment of the partnershipGeorgia has come a long way in addressing challenges.
"Together, we can truly say that we have made the partnership a success," the Prime Minister addressed the delegates and described Georgia's reforms under the OGP umbrella.
"We initiated a freedom of information reform with a special emphasis on open data and accessibility of National Archives," Giorgi Kvirikashvili said.
According to the Prime Minister, Georgia has fundamentally modified its civil service.
"We put in place an effective asset declarations monitoring system, and encouraged our citizens to get involved in the process of improving public service delivery. Shortly after my return to Georgia from this forum, my cabinet will adopt a 3rd National Action Plan for Georgia - a result of intense cooperation between the government, civil society, business sector, international organizations and groups of citizens from all over the country.
We have also successfully implemented the Open Government Georgia Forum, a permanent dialogue mechanism which brings together the government and civil society to push forward open government reforms," the Prime Minister stated.
The roots of Georgia's success, Giorgi Kvirikashvili pointed out, must be sought in co-creationand inclusiveness of government efforts at all levels.
According to the Head of Government, Georgian authorities are delighted that the country's efforts have been acknowledged by the OGP community.
"At the OGP Global Summit in Mexico last year, Georgia received an OGP Government Champions Awardfor going the extra mile to accommodate civil society into the OGP process. Georgia has also been selected as co-chair of the Partnership together with France. Let me take this opportunity to thank you all for entrusting us with this important task," the Prime Minister addressed the event's participants.
Giorgi Kvirikashvili emphasized that, even though everyone has a success story, it is unacceptable to stop at these achievements. It is important to raise questions and set new challenges, and to think ahead to the next 5 years.
"To do so we need to go back to the start. We need to remind ourselves why the platform was created: it is aimed to improve the daily lives of our citizens. Yet only few people know about the OGP, how it operates, or what goals and objectives it pursues.
An analysis of the OGP national action plans shows that the majority of commitments taken by the member governments are associated with improving governments' own efficiencies, open data, and budget transparency. We lack commitments related to civil, political or socio-economic rights-something that has far greater impact on our citizens," the Prime Minister said.
According to Giorgi Kvirikashvili, going forward, it is essential to raise certain questions, such as: How to plan for the next five years to ensure the delivery of transformational impact on the lives of citizens; what specific steps countries are willing to take to broaden the focus from open data and open budgets to sector-based sustainable development goals (SDGs), anticorruption and service delivery; and how to close the feedback loop.
"Public consultations under the 2nd Action Plan in Georgia again revealed that the better we are at delivering public services, the closer we get to our citizens. We therefore designed a new project titled ‘The Voice of the Costumer',which guarantees direct communication with citizens on services they receive from thePublic Service Hall, a special public service hub in Georgia. We committed to informing each citizen on the steps we were taking to respond to their suggestions and ideas," the Prime Minister stated.
According to the Prime Minister of Georgia, the OGP's achievements and strategic plans are well recognized by all who are familiar with the partnership's operations, but still remain relatively unknown to the wider public.
The Prime Minister also emphasized that Georgia, as co-chair of the partnership, is keen to rise to this challenge.
"We firmly believe that promoting the OGP's message across the globe and bringing it to the attention of as many people as possible should be a leadership priority in the years to come. It is a powerful tool for citizens across the world to demand more open and more responsive policies from their governments.
I am pleased to recall that 70 countries have already joined the OGP. However, on our 5th anniversary, we need to push our drive and ambition up, to bring more countries on board and to make the OGP more influential. Georgia will work with France to explain the value of open governance to newcomers.
A key part of this will also be ensuring that civil society continues to form an integral part of decision-making worldwide. Let us remember that civic space is shrinking in many countries. We need to encourage governments and civil society organizations to take and implement ambitious commitments in this regard, especially in those countries that might not have sufficient resources to do so. We have already experienced that taking commitments does not always lead to successful implementation," the Prime Minister emphasized.
Giorgi Kvirikashvili also discussed the next OGP summit due to take place in Paris, in December, during which governments and civil society leaders from all around the world will be committing to lasting change.
"Let us aim to make the OGP summit an opportunity to learn more from others and secure real improvements-to push for real political action and commitment that can move the open government agenda forward and broaden our collective ambition.
The OGP has reached a turning point, and I believe that together we can determine how to take it forward," the Prime Minister of Georgia stated.
The Open Government Partnership 5-Year Anniversary Event was chaired by Prime Minister of GeorgiaGiorgi Kvirikashvili, President of FranceFrancois Hollande, and President of South Africa Jacob Zuma.

Examples of several generations of Millers Oils packaging for oils and greases. Pistoneeze containers are the earliest.
In case if main object is very close you can get nice blur effect behind (DOF), but you can't use macro or supermacro if your object is far and very difficult to get cool DOF in that cases with nonprof lenses. So in presented photo you can see a little blur on trees which is very close with the object. I used manual focusing (use mode A or P) and small Fnumber as much as possible.
This image shows an example of a land plant without roots. This plant is a kind of moss. This plant is special because it neither flowers of produces seeds. The way it survives is by living in very damp areas. The entire plant doesn't dig is roots into the ground but inside says on the surface collecting water.
