Another picture from Vivan and Vivek's wedding. This frame had congratulatory messages written on it to the couple, and there were messages in many languages, not all of which they knew how to read! When the groom is Malayali and the bride is Chinese-born, with a smattering of friends from all over India and China and the US, what else could we expect?

Urmia or (Turkish Language: اورمو, Urmu, Orumiyeh, Urmiye, Urmiya) is a city in Northwestern South Azerbaijan (Iranian Azerbaijan) and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province. The city lies on an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chaye river (City River). Urmia is the 10th populated city in iran and 2nd of Azerbaijanian Turks provinces after Tabriz. Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (Specially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown.An important town by the 9th cent. Urmia was seized by the Oghuz Turks (11th cent.), sacked by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.The name Urmia or Urmu is thought to have come from Sumerian tongue, the earliest known civilization in the world located in southern Mesopotamia. Ur was a principle Sumerian city. Some believe the name is derived from Syriac. Ur, meaning "cradle," and mia, meaning "water". Hence, Urmia, situated by a lake and surrounded by rivers, would be the cradle of water.The population of Urmia is predominantly Azerbaijanian Turks (over 90%), but with Kurdish,Assyrian and Armenian minorities.
English, the language — it's a funny old thing!
I've fallen behind. After the dead heat in the race for the season's first tomato, life got in the way of posting the ID of the other of the joint winners. There was the roses and vines which needed tidying, green waste to be either shredded or taken to the tip for upcycling because it's the weekend, the bird netting which needed to go up on raspberrries, riesling grapes and apple espaliers against possums and currawongs, the female koël changing the game by stealing jostaberries, kimchi, there was Leigh and Annabelle, pizza and a Nobel Laureate. Life: it's complicated. English is little better.
Back to that photo finish. Ah, remember photo finishing? No, no, not the sporting kind. The kind after you'd loaded your film in the tank. The developing and washing and all that, the enlarging, burning and dodging by hand, the artistry in that, more wet bits and pieces then finally after all that, running your precious print through the glazing machine; the photo finishing. No, I guess not. The iPhone doesn't have that app.
Here it is: the joint winner. No, no it didn't win a joint. And what's a joint, anyway? The second of my first tomatoes is kotlas a.k.a. sprint.
Yes, this is why there are both calmart and kotlas in my tomato beds in this preternatural chilly season. Perhaps the main crop and indeed the chilli varieties will fail. But these troopers will do their bit, just there; they're reliable where others might shiver and falter.

Marshall Strabala was interviewed in el Economista ("The Economist"), a daily Spanish language business and financial newspaper, published in Madrid, Spain. Read the story on the newspaper's website at: www.eleconomista.es/evasion/noticias/6753573/05/15/La-Tor...

Shanghai Tower, the second tallest skyscraper in the world
Shanghai Tower, the second tallest skyscraper in the world, with 632 meters and 128 floors, 828 meters after the Burj Khalifa (Dubai), is almost ready for its opening and dedication this summer as the largest building double facade the planet.
Although not yet decided the date of its official opening, after more than six years of construction, the works are completed to 95 percent and weeks that Shanghainese are accustomed and to see lighted this immense and twisted column of glass, complete its futuristic collection of skyscrapers.
This structure (a vertical tower of glass, coated with an outer glass facade, writhing gracefully on itself, as if it will roll, structured around a series of platforms wider ground than other floors, which follow more roughly every 15 levels) is so aesthetic and practical.
"We wanted to make the super-tower high greener and high efficient in the world, so all building elements meet at least two or three functions at once," he told EFE the chief architect responsible for its design, US Marshall Strabala, from inside the tower, still under construction.
Indeed, Strabala, with nearly three decades of experience in designing large buildings (including own Burj Khalifa, with 163 floors high, and the Zifeng Tower of Nanjing, the ninth highest in the world with 450 meters), knows that biggest challenge is to design them to withstand the strong side wind thrust loads on the structure.
Twisted surface
Hence, in part, gently twisted the outer surface of the tower, because "the external façade is the only one who sees the wind, and the way it has reduced wind loads up to 28 percent, equivalent to about 60 million of structure that we had to build. "
This design also allows for an air bag between the two walls, which functions as an excellent natural thermal insulator, especially useful in a city with humidity and temperatures between zero and 40 degrees that rarely reaches every winter and Shanghai summers.
In addition, a building destined to become one of the hallmarks of Shanghai "should be part of your time, reflect its time", so peculiar aspect has already become "the image of the building, a tower of the future "he said.
Indeed, the tower, to be called "Shanghai Zhongxin" in Mandarin ("Shanghai Center") and "Shanghai Tower" in English, is the third of the "three brothers" the municipal government planned to build symbolically in 1995 heart of Lujiazui financial district, which barely existed then.
It is the only trio of skyscrapers located so close to each other worldwide.
The other two are the Jin Mao Tower (421 meters, 88 floors, opened in 1999, and today the fourteenth world's tallest building), and the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), popularly known in many languages, also in Chinese such as "Opener" (now fifth largest, with 492 meters and 101 floors, opened in 2008).
Although the last beam of the Tower of Shanghai (which in the original plan of 1995 was to be the smallest of the three) was installed in August 2013, and in fact would then be the second tallest building in the world it is not usually including new members in the list of super skyscrapers on the planet until they are in operation.
Strabala said Shanghai wants to symbolize the "three brothers" the last of China (Jin Mao, "a pagoda stainless steel"), present (SWFC, "China accepts foreign investment" because it is a Japanese building) and future (with "a transparent building, which has many places for people").
Indeed, the architect expects its Shanghai tower could accommodate about 18,000 visitors a day, between workers, tourists and guests of the world's tallest hotel (between floors 84 and 110).
The building, 530,000 square meters (including 95,000 22 967 office and commercial surfaces), has 106 lifts, the fastest of which go up to 18 meters per second to the highest tourist viewpoint of the planet (top 119), which also will open on the 121 floor terrace.

This was on one of the playground levels at Wood River Park. There were several cool things like this, but how often do you see something put up on a playground to help bridge the gap between a hearing disabled child and one with hearing. I thought this was pretty cool.

everything single thought i've had today has been for the most part depressing. i'm not usually like this, really.. i have these down on myself moments. and i mean-i get REALLY down. today for example. i feel like i'm going to go crazy before this day is over.
first there is the always pleasant thought and fear of lack of talent. not only in my major in school, but in any and everything. Looking at this flickr, i see juvienille work from a mediocre photographer. i would never even pretend to put anything i have taken up for sale. i wish i could write more regularly.. but then i feel like i'm only good at it SOMETIMES, when i'm extremely emotional. even then i don't feel like i can fully write what i feel.
i also just have this insanely horrible self hatred, i couldn't even tell you where it comes from. not so much of me-me..but of my appearance. it seems to me that no matter how hard i try i will never see in the mirror what i want. in terms of losing weight, most defintely. the dumbest thing i hate SO much about myself are my freckles. i don't know why i hate them so much..i just feel like a lepar--[i'm not even pretending to know how to spell that.] its just frustrating when you find most things about yourself disgustable.
i'm giving my two weeks at work and i feel guilty becasue two people just quit and i feel like i'm leaving them high and dry. but i simply cannot handle it anymore. theres too much going on. school is stressing me out enough for 3 jobs.
i feel pretty distant from my friends recently.
my family..we just need help.
long distance relationships completely suck. i've always looked down on the strange people who try to make them work, wondering how anyone could have so much faith in such a hopeless situation. now that i am one of those people, i feel so so indescribably empty. the worst thing to do is sit and think about this..but i miss him so much. i would settle for 3 minutes holding him tonight.
this is not a feel sorry for me thing.. not by any means..its just me trying desperately to get this feeling out of my chest. okayy.
A smile is always the best way to engage children...especially in Asia, where they have a natural curiosity to look at the strange visitors! Unlike in Thailand, where school uniforms are very varied and colourful, green and white is worn by all children in Myanmar. The "longyi" is worn by most of the local men and boys.

Whatever your Perceptions are of the German Personality they are often Considered to be: Hardworking, Humorous, Punctual, Traditional, as traditions are important to Germans, Creative, as Germans are well known for their abilities to create new things. You may see a small sensor that is designed to detect rainwater on the windscreen of your car which automatically switches the wiper on. German people have been stereotyped at times for being cold, rude and even humorless. These rather negative perceptions may be going a little too far when generalizing about German people and their attributes. For more visit: goo.gl/ECv3hY
Wyatt, the black GSD, has a strange attraction towards Ouzo. Every time he sees him, he runs and begs Ouzo to play with him, the only way he knows, by slapping my dog with his paws :) Ouzo tries his best to ignore him, but I believe Wyatt's just not capable of reading subtle signals.
So last Saturday, when this was taken, Ouzo finally had enough of Wyatt and discovered he has teeth that he can show and growl at the young admirer. Unfortunately that didn't make too much of a difference either - maybe gave Wyatt a bit more respect for Ouzo, but he continued to seek his approval and share his affection.
Here he's sniffing (and not sure if not licking) Ouzo's mouth, while my dog just wishes the black dog would freaking go away at leave him alone to play with his frisbee :)
