(March 16, 2016) - The Novartis Australia headquarters has been shortlisted as an A+ Awards finalist for the Commercial Office Mid Rise category. The project is competing against international competition in the category, including SOM, JKMM ARchitects, Olson Kindig and Hooba design for the two most sought-after awards: the Architizer A+ Jury Award and the Architizer A+ Popular Choice Award.
Designed by HDR | Rice Daubney, HDR's Sydney design studio, the Australian Novartis head office brings together associates from across Alcon, Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Sandoz with a focus on increasing collaboration to drive the company's culture of innovation.
The building is characterised by two conceptual directions: caring for patients and science-based innovation. The scientific finds its expression in the form of the slender glass rectangle of the office floor, projecting from the sloping site. It is intersected by the human element, revealed by a contrasting language of timber and aluminum curved forms that shape the core and collaboration spaces at the heart of the building. The interaction between these two components—a building of clean lines and precise transparent forms, supported by a series of warm curved elements—clearly expresses Novartis' humanist mission and a culture of innovation.

They condemned the brutal assault by protesting in front of the Sri Lanka Transport Board bus stand in Jaffna on 16th of August 2011. It was a rare protest for the Peninsula people to witness. “ஏதாவது பிரச்சினையோ?” ~ “Is there any problem?”, “என்ன பிரச்சினை?” ~ “What is the problem?”, “இங்கை என்ன நடக்குது?” ~ “What is happening here?” a few onlookers, passers ~ by and shop keepers asked me while the protest was getting underway on a balmy day in Jaffna. “இங்கை உண்மையா என்ன நடக்குது? ~ “What is actually happening here” asked the owner of a newly built restaurant, while I was running to the restaurant roof top to capture the moments on my camera.
There was chaos as the protesters arrived in Jaffna town with placards in Tamil. Police in the vicinity came closer and asked them not to block the traffic. Verbal argument took place between the Police and the protesters. But the protesters kept chanting and walking. The traffic came to a standstill for a couple of moments, as the protesters took the space on the mot busiest road in Jaffna, the Hospital road while carrying the placards in Tamil ~ “யாழ்ப்பாண ஊடகவியலாளர்களுக்கு யார் பாதுகாப்பு?” ~ “Who is responsible for the lives of the journalists in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரம் பாதுகாக்கப்பட வேண்டும்” ~ “Media freedom needs to be protected”, “எப்போ முடியும் யாழ்ப்பாணத்தில் அடக்குமுறைகள்?” ~ “When will the suppression come to an end in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரத்தைப் பாதுகாக்க ஒன்றுபடுவோம்” ~ Let’s unite to protect media freedom”, “குகநாதனுக்கு விழுந்த அடி உண்மைக்கு விழுந்த பேரிடி”~ Assault on Kuganathan is an assault on the Truth, “ஊடகத்துறைக்கு எதிரான அடக்குமுறையை ஒழிப்போம்” ~ Eradicate Suppression Against the Media” “ஊடகத்தின் மீதான தாக்குதலை உடனே நிறுத்து” ~ “Stop Attacking the Media Immediately”, “ஜனநாயகத்தின் குரலை ஒடுக்காதே” ~ “Don’t Suppress the voice of Democracy”, “தேர்தலில் தோற்றவர்களா மண்டையைப் பிளந்தார்கள்?” ~ “Did they split the head those who lost the elections?”
The protesters chanted “Let Us Write”,“Continue; Continue; Continue to Write”,“Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill Us; Do Not Kill the Journalists, Do Not Kill the Democracy”,“Uthyan was attacked, but nobody was arrested”, “Bring the culprit to the courts”“Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack the Media”, “Take Your Hands Off Media”“Stop; Stop; Stop the Suppression” “Kuganathan; Kuganthan who wrote the plight of the people”, “Kuganathan was attacked with Iron rods”,“Kuganathan; Kuganathan; Keep Writing, “Lift the Emergency Immediately” in Tamil and Sinhala. There were nearly 350 journalists, activists and politicians participated in the protest according to the organisers.

Talitha kum (Ταλιθα κουμ) thalita qum
Mark 5:41
And taking the hand of the child, he said to her, "Talitha kum", which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, get up".
This verse gives an Aramaic phrase, attributed to Jesus bringing the girl back to life, with a transliteration into Greek, as ταλιθα κουμ.
A few Greek manuscripts (Codex Sinaiticus, Vaticanus) of Mark's Gospel have this form of the text, but others (Codex Alexandrinus, the Majority Text and the Vulgate) write κουμι (koumi) instead. The latter became the Textus Receptus, and is the version that appears in the Authorised Version.
The Aramaic is ţlīthā qūm. The word ţlīthā is the feminine form of the word ţlē, meaning "young".
Qūm is the Aramaic verb 'to rise, stand, get up'. In the feminine singular imperative, it was originally 'qūmī'. However, there is evidence that in speech the final -ī was dropped so that the imperative did not distinguish between masculine and feminine genders. The older manuscripts, therefore, used a Greek spelling that reflected pronunciation, whereas the addition of an 'ι' was perhaps due to a bookish copyist.
In written Aramaic, it could be טליתא קומי or טלתא קומי (read right to left).
The great comedian Sid Caesar does not endorse the following method of improving at foreign languages.
I teach English in Japan, lately with I like to think increasing success, and I speak & write Japanese. My trick for learning foreign languages is....
The Sid Caesar method: If you learn to impersonate languages, no matter how badly, you will also learn how to speak them. Please give this time, and try the experiment.
Gradually it seemed to me that the biggest difficulty with learning a foreign language is not making meaning but the fear of the lack of it.
What do I mean?! The story goes like this.
When I learnt to speak Japanese after studying it for about 4 years I also found myself able to speak and read French. I had never been good at French at school, but something in my head, my psychological attitude to language had changed. I am not saying I am good at French but suddenly I had no problem with blabbing in my bad French. For a long time I did not work out what had changed.
Then two things happened:
1) I came across some research by Steven Heine, extending "terror management theory" arguing that there is not thing more scary than the absence of meaning. You can download his paper here Page on Psych
2) I came across some comedians that "impersonate languages" such as the late great Sid Caesar, and I thought "That's it. That is what changed."
Here is Sid Caesar impersonating French and other languages.
When I was young I had a black friend who (though he is as English as I am) when treated with prejudice in a public place used to reply in his impersonation of an African language. At the time even the thought of impersonating a language filled me with dread. But now I hardly break into a sweat. I am not as good as Sid Caesar in the above video but speaking in gobbledygook no longer hurts. I will append my video at the end.
Many people (especially in Japan) think that foreign languages are very difficult, and that you need to know a lot of grammar and vocabulary. At the same time, many native speakers (especially children) use a small vocabulary and the grammar they use could be written on a postcard. In other words the intellectual, structural, and factual information required of being able to speak like a child in a foreign language is the sort of thing you can learn in a couple of days.
This fact has been known in the language teaching community for some time, and leads to an emphasis upon "acquisition" of language through practice, rather than learning of language (e.g. rote memorisation of grammar and vocab).
But even using Krashen or other acquisition / communication centred techniques, progress is slow. What is the reason for this? One reason is that practice is required, just as it is required in another other skill, such as tennis. You don't become a good tennis player just by learning tennis theory.
But there is another aspect that is peculiar to language. To an extent we live in language, we narrative our selves in it, and when the language lacks meaning it results in a loss of self that is almost as scary as death (see Heine's research above). When we go to speak a foreign language, and let roll with a sentence that may well be all wrong, and may meet with a complete lack of comprehension, we enter that world of unmeaning and experience something akin to death. And this is terrifying.
However, of course, we do not die and we gradually learn not to be scared.
There is quicker route. If you practice impersonating languages, such as by watching a YouTube video of an Italian interview and then practice speaking in fake Italian mimicry (like Sid Caesar above) then you can, gradually, overcome this fear of flying into unmeaning. I am not saying that you will suddenly become a polyglot, but it will make foreign languages easier.
At the least you will become aware of one of the biggest, I would say the biggest, obstacles to foreign language proficiency.
The experiment.
1) Time yourself for a minute. Try and say as much as you can in the foreign language of you are trying to learn.
2) Then watch a video on YouTube of a language that you know nothing about and try impersonating that language for one minute. Do not worry about the quality of your impersonation, just try and make various word like sounds. (You can find some Chinese by searching for "發明" or some Italian, I think, by searching for "intervista")
In which case did you make more sound? I am guessing that you made more sounds in case (1) even though you had to use correct grammar, correct vocabulary. In case (2) you could have made any old noise.
In other words, it is not the words, the meaning, the grammar that is difficult, but the un-meaning that is the biggest, terrifying obstacle to foreign language acquisition.
If you can already "do a Sid Caesar" then I predict you will be quick at learning foreign languages or already can speak one.
Here is me impersonating Chinese. It is not good and makes me cringe a bit still but in times past the mere thought was quite beyond the pale (i.e. s*** scary). Here is a link to my video of me Impersonating Three Languages.

Addendum (Big Mistake)
"My head" is inside my narrative and field of view, not the other way around! This is a very important point and the danger of the scientific worldview. The scientific world is a product of our narration as even some scientists a vow (Wheeler, Mach). Our head is also something we see in our field of view in mirrors, or our nose and brow directly. Our perceptions (including of our whispers) are not inside "me" or my body. To think so would be double death.

The first quarter FY10 Presidio of Monterey Commander's Cup Run was held at the Price Fitness Center field Nov. 4.
Army claimed the cup with a first place finish in both the men's and women's competition.
From the High Line Park's website:
Josh Kline (b. 1979, United States) creates sculptural installations that employ the language and strategies of advertising. For Archeo, Kline presents Skittles, an industrial refrigerator containing smoothies produced by the artist using unconventional and poetic combinations of ingredients including kale chips, squid ink, sneakers, phone bills, and pepper spray. Each smoothie stands as a portrait of a different contemporary lifestyle. When grouped together, they evoke a landscape of aspiration, taste, and – at times – deprivation in a metropolis like New York City.

Korean language students from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center had an isolated immersion opportunity Oct. 19-20 at the former Fort Ord in Seaside, California. The instructors prepared a scenario in which students played reporters and teachers played police or family members of victims of a tragic ferry accident. The scenario challenged the students listening and writing skills as they interviewed and interpreted what they heard from the teachers to formulate a news story. They then shared their news stories with their classmates.
The immersion also featured Korean food such as kimbab, rice rolls, and chap jae, glass noodles, followed by a few rounds of nori bang, the Korean version of karaoke. (U.S. Army photo by Patrick Bray/Released)
Vision, Language, and Influence:
Photographs of the South by Baldwin Lee, Walker Evans, and Eudora Welty
Knoxville Museum of Art
May 14 – August 1, 2010
Vision, Language, and Influence brings together for the first time the work of three photographers of the American South over a 50-year period. Walker Evans (1903-1976) is represented by incisive images of Alabama sharecroppers stemming from his epic collaboration with James Agee on Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Eudora Welty (1909-2001) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern writer and photographer who traveled across Mississippi in the 1930s and early 1940s taking photographs and documenting rural and small-town life in her home state. Baldwin Lee (born 1951) is a professor of photography at the University of Tennessee, and a former assistant to Walker Evans. Complementing the 50 or so works by Evans and Welty are more than 30 of Lee’s images of African-American life in the South taken during the 1980s with the support of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Vision, Language, and Influence was organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art in collaboration with Baldwin Lee.

For some strange reason, there was a scotsman dressed up in tartan kilt, sporran, the full works, playing the bagpipes to a family gathering, inside the monument walkway, itself. His skill was such it was rather charming, but an odd moment and more than a tad surreal ...
