Studio 12 Architecture transformed a small footprint of undeveloped property near Precita Park into two tall, gracefully interconnected single family homes.
The structure was built in 5 stories, with interconnected chambers, watchtowers, defensive walls and a moat.
In a world so socially interconnected it almost appears as if people are afraid to spend time with themselves. Yet the person comfortable with being alone is the person that will be better at reaching out to others. It's through knowing and loving oneself that a person is able to get to know and love others on a much more profound level.
This picture portrays how the girl is keeping herself company through the many arms. It gives the idea of many people surrounding her yet, it is all her own arms.
The future lies within the web of interconnected devices. We can’t anticipate every problem that will face service providers as they monitor the various devices in the internet of things, but we can predict many of them. Watch here to learn more.

These two interconnected buildings are a Landmark Trust accommodation. The dark building on the left was originally a travelling "Iron chapel" and still has wheels on it. Coombe is in a steep sided valley, and the road is 1 in 5 on both sides of the valley, so it must have been quite a feat to get it down.

In 1894, Fremiet was chosen to design the statue to crown the spire of the abbey of Mont Saint Michel. He had been famous as a sculptor since his Joan of Arc had been set up in the Place des Pyramides in Paris in 1874. With Joan, he founded a new form of realism, characterised by minute description, in which a sense of precision was combined with a veritable archaeological quest. He preferred the severe iconography of the Middle Ages to the almost baroque schema derived from Raphael. Fremiet thus developed a didactic style which refused pathos, driven by a twofold passion for history and science.
His first version of St Michael was a statuette intended for commercial reproduction in 1879. Most unusually, it was this 50 cm work which was chosen to be enlarged to a height of 2.20 metres. Almost as if the architect had selected it from a catalogue. This practice of verifying the artist's aesthetic choices in advance, combined with Fremiet's "historical realism" sat very well with the new vision of historic monuments advocated by Viollet-le-Duc and his followers, in search of architectural reconstructions.
The statue is unusual in Fremiet's work because of its dynamism; it must be imagined gilded in the Mont Saint Michel version, flashing in the light in the open air. It is made of repoussé copper: the copper plates were hammered in the workshop, then mounted on a frame and riveted together. The resulting work was relatively light: lifting a heavy bronze statue to the top of the spire would have been insane. The Monduit firm was commissioned to execute the statue and made two other copies, one for the spire of the church of Saint Michel des Batignolles in Paris, and the other for its show room, which is now in the Musée d'Orsay.
Really, it's just a place in the library with about 6 computers available. Despite my admiration of the sign itself, I think the money could've been better spent actually buying more books.
The Audubon Newhall Preserve is a series of short, easy walking interconnected trails through a fifty-acre nature preserve. An information and trail guide, available at the entrance, will guide you through the area, where you will see a wide variety of trees and plants, from Florida Scrub to native hardwoods. A feature of the preserve is a rare pocosin (the Indian word for bog), which was once a characteristic feature of barrier islands.

"Risograph Reverie" is an enchanting series of risograph graphics by Duncan Rawlinson. This collection engages the viewer with its distinctive blend of form and color, representing a compelling dialogue between the abstract and the photorealistic, the expected and the surprising.
Rawlinson's approach is a testament to the transformative capacity of art, where photography meets artificial intelligence to create something entirely unique. Each piece begins its journey as a photograph, a frozen moment in time, which is then fed into an AI tool that reshapes it into a vibrant dance of neon-colored geometric forms. The light magenta and azure hues act as commanding players on this visual stage, setting the tone for the playful motifs and mismatched patterns to unfold within a uniquely compelling 6:17 aspect ratio.
What's even more mesmerizing about this series is its perfect symmetry, creating a harmonious continuity when placed side by side. Each graphic functions as a tile, seamlessly connecting with its neighbors to form a larger, interconnected canvas that amplifies the visual impact. The result is a dynamic, infinite spectacle where each piece, while powerful as a standalone, is part of a greater, mesmerizing whole.
In "Risograph Reverie," Rawlinson bridges the tactile world of risograph printmaking with the endless possibilities of the digital realm. The collection, tactile and tangible, vibrates with the unique energy of risograph art, while the individual graphics, designed under the algorithmic direction of an AI, add a modern and innovative twist.
Navigating through this series is an invitation to lose oneself in a world where neon-colored geometric forms come to life, where patterns blend flawlessly, and where every piece is an integral part of a captivating, cohesive narrative. This is Rawlinson's celebration of contemporary art - a space where color and form, reality and imagination, and technology and traditional printmaking coexist in a fun and harmonious dance of creativity.
Everything is interconnected. A collection of beads from my travels in some parts of the Philippines and China. Can you guess which color is my fave?

All civilizations collapse.
In the past, very few have collapsed catastrophically over a few decades unless they were overwhelmed by a rival society; most civilizations have taken a century or two to disintegrate as various successive and interconnected crises brought an end to one unsustainable version of the society after another.
Our civilization is global, and will collapse – or is already collapsing – piecemeal across the planet.
From what little we know, most people are dismayed and frightened by the experience of living at a time that their civilization is collapsing.

The Doors - Riders on the Storm
The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.
The Kerala Backwaters are a network of interconnected canals, rivers, lakes and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km of waterways, and sometimes compared to the American Bayou. In the midst of this landscape there are a number of towns and cities, which serve as the starting and end points of backwater cruises. National Waterway No. 3 from Kollam to Kottapuram, covers a distance of 205 km and runs almost parallel to the coast line of southern Kerala facilitating both cargo movement and backwater tourism.
The backwaters have a unique ecosystem - freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea. In certain areas, such as the Vembanad Kayal, where a barrage has been built near Kumarakom, salt water from the sea is prevented from entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes.
Many unique species of aquatic life including crabs, frogs and mudskippers, water birds such as terns, kingfishers, darters and cormorants, and animals such as otters and turtles live in and alongside the backwaters. Palm trees, pandanus shrubs, various leafy plants and bushes grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green hue to the surrounding landscape.
Vembanad Kayal is the largest of the lakes, covering an area of 200 km², and bordered by Alappuzha (Alleppey), Kottayam, and Ernakulam districts. The port of Kochi (Cochin) is located at the lake's outlet to the Arabian Sea. Alleppey, "Venice of the East", has a large network of canals that meander through the town. Vembanad is India’s longest lake.
HOUSE BOATS
The kettuvallams (Kerala houseboats) in the backwaters are one of the prominent tourist attractions in Kerala. More than 2000 kettuvallams ply the backwaters, 120 of them in Alappuzha. Kerala government has classified the tourist houseboats as Platinum, Gold and silver.
The kettuvallams were traditionally used as grain barges, to transport the rice harvested in the fertile fields alongside the backwaters. Thatched roof covers over wooden hulls, 30 m in length, provided protection from the elements. At some point in time the boats were used as living quarters by the royalty. Converted to accommodate tourists, the houseboats have become floating cottages having a sleeping area, with western-style toilets, a dining area and a sit out on the deck. Most tourists spend the night on a house boat. Food is cooked on board by the accompanying staff – mostly having a flavour of Kerala. The houseboats are of various patterns and can be hired as per the size of the family or visiting group. The living-dining room is usually open on at least three sides providing a grand view of the surroundings, including other boats, throughout the day when it is on the move. It is brought to a standstill at times of taking food and at night. After sunset, the boat crew provide burning coils to drive away mosquitoes. Ketuvallams are motorised but generally proceed at a slow speed for smooth travel. All ketuvallams have a generator and most bedrooms are air-conditioned. At times, as per demand of customers, electricity is switched off and lanterns are provided to create a rural setting.
While many ketuvalloms take tourists from a particular point and bring them back to around the same point next morning there are some specific cruises mostly in the Alappuzha area, such as the one night cruise from Alappuzha to Thotapally via Punnamada Lake two nights cruise from Alappuzha to Alumkavadi, one night cruise from Alappuzha to Kidangara, and one night cruise from Alappuzha to Mankotta. There are numerous such cruises.
Beypore, located 10 km south of Kozhikode at the mouth of the Chaliyar River, is a famous fishing harbour, port and boat building centre. Beypore has a 1,500 year-tradition of boatbuilding. The skill of the local shipwrights and boat builders are widely sought after. There is a houseboat-building yard at Alumkadavu, in Ashtamudi Kayal near Kollam.
FERRY SERVICES
Regular ferry services connect most locations on both banks of the backwaters. The Kerala State Water Transport Department operates ferries for passengers as well as tourists. It is the cheapest mode of transport through the backwaters.
ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE
Connected by artificial canals, the backwaters form an economical means of transport, and a large local trade is carried on by inland navigation. Fishing, along with fish curing is an important industry.
Kerala backwaters have been used for centuries by the local people for transportation, fishing and agriculture. It has supported the efforts of the local people to earn a livelihood. In more recent times, agricultural efforts have been strengthened with reclamation of some backwater lands for rice growing, particularly in the Kuttanad area. Boat making has been a traditional craft, so has been the coir industry.
Kuttanad is crisscrossed with waterways that run alongside extensive paddy fields, as well as fields of cassava, banana and yam. A unique feature of Kuttanad is that many of these fields are below sea level and are surrounded by earthen embankments. The crops are grown on the low-lying ground and irrigated with fresh water from canal and waterways connected to Vembanad lake. The area is similar to the dikes of the Netherlands where land has been reclaimed from the sea and crops are grown.

We have three interconnected large loops on which to run long trains on a continuous basis. We also have a smaller loop on the front hill for operating smaller trains and trolleys.
A section of track that connected two separate railroad sites was under construction. This section of track crossed a public sidewalk and required a crossing gate. Construction of the sidewalk section and one of the crossing gates was completed on February 25, 2009; in time for the much celebrated "Grand Opening" which was televised by Channel 22, the SCG TV Station, in Surprise Arizona.
Pictured here are several HARD WORKING, GCR group members. Check back for more pictures and movies from the February 27th Event.
This forlorn and overgrown structure in Cleveland’s Gordon Park is the former Cleveland Aquarium, which once occupied this complex of two interconnected buildings. Opened in 1953, the aquarium was an outgrowth of the Cleveland Natural History Museum, and included 50 exhibits of freshwater and marine species. However, the building’s story goes back to 1937, when it was built by the City of Cleveland with support from the New Deal-era Works Progress Administration as a bath house for the park, which at the time included a beach. However, the inconvenient location far from the beach led to the facility becoming disused, leading to its use as a trail side museum before becoming the Cleveland Aquarium. In 1967, an addition twice the size of the original building was added to the facility, which included the iconic Octagonal rotunda with its wavy roof, and an entrance with aqua-colored panels that mimicked waves on the surface of the lake. The aquarium, however, ran into financial trouble during the 1970s, and though it was popular, the attendance and higher cost of admission were not enough to save it from bankruptcy, and the aquarium closed in 1985, with all animals being transferred to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo after the aquarium ceased operating in 1986. The aquarium was used for a brief time as a dog training facility and K9 kennel for the Cleveland Police Department for a few years, until deteriorating conditions in the 1930s wing led to the facility becoming abandoned. Today, the aquarium is in very rough shape, and stands forlorn as a bleak reminder of the city’s decline overlooking the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway in the midst of a park and neighborhood that has seen better days.
