The icon of very American culture Iron Man is now Japanese Samurai, the very soul of Japanese culture! He will eat sushi instead of cheeseburger! It is amazing to see Japanese culture almost in every aspect of our life scenes. They did not win the last war but won the hearts of people over the years with their culture…

You don't have to agree with these. I am sharing them to attempt to better myself as a person. This is what works for me right now.
1. Friends are something to enjoy. They are not an obligation nor should you be dependent on them alone. I need to make sure I can take care of myself for me.
2. While having a boyfriend (girlfriend : significant other : spouse : etc ) is good for the feels, that person should not be required and/or the basis for all my happiness. I can be happy on my own as an individual.
3. I am me. That's all I really can be. I can't be you. I can't be them. I'm the only one who knows what that means at the core and I will strive to be the best me there is by my standards. If there is a problem, I will need to fix it myself. Others can support but the real work needs to be done by yours truly.
4. I seemed to have a misunderstanding of this ideal for the first half of my life. I can say I'm pretty without it being egotistical. I can say I'm good at things without it being gloating. It's a matter of balancing it so it doesn't become overly prideful or hurtful to others.
5. Advice has always been a hard thing for me to accept, to process, and to deal with. I do not do well at all with people being blunt with me, no matter how much I "need" to hear what they're saying. But it is just that. Advice. It is not a rule. It is not a law. I will not be put away for not following it. If I do not take the advice and I mess up, that is my own fault and my own choice. If I take the advice and things end up poorly, again, it is not a reflect on them, but in myself for following it. Advice is formulated by others advice or experianxe shared and personal experience in the situation. It is not something written in stone. It can be pushed aside if you do not feel it is right for you.
Enough of this, I need sleep but at least my mind and heart are at rest now. Sometimes you just have to get these things out.

The culmination and the realization closest to perfection turned out to be villa Savoye, which today is regarded as the architect masterpiece. It is the first villa which lifted the whole volume to the air. Moreover, although the atmosphere inside may seem cold, it is a type of ‘mathematical lyricism’ that Le Corbusier sought, which he could only acheive through total use of the Five Points of Modern Architecture.
Estimates of the cost in February 1929 were approximately half a million Francs, although this excluded the cost of the lodge and the landscaping elements (almost twice the original budget). The project was tendered in February with contracts awarded in March 1929. Changes made to the design whilst the project was being built including an amendment to the storey height and the exclusion and then re-introduction of the chauffeur's accommodation led to the costs rising to approximately 800,000 Francs. At the time the project started on site no design work had been done on the lodge and the final design was only presented to the client in June 1929. The design was for a double lodge but this was reduced to a single lodge as the costs were too high. Although construction of the whole house was complete within a year it was not habitable until 1931.
The progress of our soul is like a perfect poem. It has an infinite idea which once realized makes all movements full of meaning and joy.

Linda Lewis’s surreal digital composition, “Miscalculation Realization,” confronts the viewer with an apocalyptic vision that merges classical symbolism with contemporary existential dread—most pointedly, the catastrophic consequences of climate change.
The digital photomontage shows a nude man, with a white cloth draped over his shoulder. He is kneeling on the ground, his hands are open, and his face is lifted towards the sky. This posture indicates deference, and is a primal behavior. This man is clearly beyond saving from the inferno of burning sand and violent fire he is engulfed by. It could also be interpreted as seeking deliverance from the current situation.
Next to the figure rests an abacus—a powerful metaphor for the failure of humans to pay heed to climate change predictions. The man finally realizes that the predictions were correct, and he submits to this knowledge. In this reading, the image becomes a stark allegory for the hubris of modern civilization, that ignored decades of scientific warnings and now kneels, too late, before the flames it helped ignite.
The environmental message is blisteringly clear. The landscape is not simply infernal—it resembles a climate-ravaged Earth, stripped bare by wildfires, drought, and ecological devastation. The man, perhaps a stand-in for humanity itself, is caught at the moment of horrifying clarity: that civilization has miscalculated the fragility of its own ecosystem.
Miscalculation Realization is a haunting indictment of our failure (refusal) to heed the warnings of climate science, wrapped in the fire-and-ash aesthetic of mythic reckoning. Linda Lewis holds up a mirror to our collective delusion—that we could endlessly calculate, consume, and control nature without consequence. This is not just an image of the end—it is the moment after the final calculation, when the answer has arrived, and it is burning.

In the early 1950s, air forces around the world came to the realization that it made little sense to train pilots on older piston-engined trainers, then expect them to go from those aircraft to high-performance jets without a high accident rate. Most nations with an aviation industry then embarked on designing jet trainers and a training syllabus entirely with jets.
For the Soviet Union, it would not only need a jet trainer, it would need thousands of them, to equip not only its own air force, but those of the Warsaw Pact and client states. The Khrushchev regime learned that two of the Pact nations were working on their own trainers--Aero of Czechoslovakia was designing the L-29 Delfin (Dolphin), while PZL of Poland was working on the TS-11 Iskra (Spark). Surprisingly for the Soviet Union, it issued a requirement for the jet trainer and opened it up to a competition between the two aircraft.
Aero's L-29 was designed to be everything a trainer should be: easy to fly, easy to maintain, forgiving of mistakes, and capable of simple aerobatics. As Soviet doctrine called for aircraft capable of operating from austere airstrips, the L-29 was given a strengthened landing gear, and for either weapons training or in emergencies, could be equipped with four underwing hardpoints for bombs, rockets or gunpods. It was not particularly fast and considered underpowered, but that was less important in a trainer.
The L-29 would first fly in 1959, and went up against the TS-11 in 1961. To the surprise of many, considering the TS-11 was faster, the L-29 was declared the winner. Suspecting politics and wishing to keep some independence, the Polish Air Force would never use the Delfin, and would make the Iskra its primary jet trainer. For the rest of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, the L-29 would go into production. NATO would give it the reporting name of Maya.
Some 27 nations would eventually fly L-29s, as trainers, but occasionally in combat as well: Egyptian L-29s were pressed into service during the 1973 Yom Kippur (October) War as ground attack aircraft, and they were also used in the Biafran War of 1967-1970 and the First Nagorno-Karabakh War of 1988-1994 between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In these cases, the Delfin did not do well, but it was never intended to fight against modern air defenses. Saddam Hussein reportedly converted a number of his L-29s to drones, intended to carry poison gas towards Coalition forces in 2003, though they never flew.
While the L-29 was adequate, as aircraft got faster and more manueverable, the Delfin was becoming obsolete. In response, Aero designed the L-39 Albatros, a more advanced trainer, and L-29 production ended in 1974 after 3665 had been produced. Though most L-29 users replaced it with the L-39, some continued with the Delfin, and Angola and Georgia would use it as late as 2016. After the end of the Cold War, many Delfins became available on the open market, and while not as common as its Western equivalent--the T-33 Shooting Star--or its successor the L-39, L-29s are found in small numbers in the warbird community, and a few have raced in the Reno Air Races.
This L-29 is a former Soviet Air Force aircraft, serial number 591734, Bort 523. It was probably retired in the 1980s, and was acquired by an American warbird collector in 1997. When the owner was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in 2013, Bort 523 was donated to the Inde Motorsports Ranch, where it had been stored. While most Soviet L-29s were bare metal, the former owner painted it in this nice-looking gray and blue camouflage.
In Story of a City (1994) Munif wrote of his childhood, and his realization, that "although they were separated from Baghdad by a great distance and different accent, Baghdad was also very close."
المدينة أي مدينة
هل لها صورة واحدة
يراها الجميع بنفس الطريقة؟
حين شرعت بكتابة "سيرة مدينة"، كنت أوفي وعداً قطعته على نفسي، أن أكتب عن المدينة التي رأيت فيها النور، والتي قضيت فيها طفولتي وأول شبابي. أما لماذا قطعت ذلك الوعد ولمن، فلأني حين غادرت تلك المدينة غبت عنها ما يزيد على خمس وثلاثين سنة، ولما عدت إليها من جديد اكتشفت فيها مدينة مختلفة، لذا أردت أن أتذكر، مع ناس تلك الفترة، المدينة التي كانت، التي عرفتها، القديمة، كي تقارن بالمدينة الآن، وكي يستطاع من خلال المقابلة بين الصورتين اكتشاف ما يفعله الزمن، وماذا يعني توالي الأيام وكيف يتغير البشر والأماكن بتقدم العمر.
عبد الرحمن مُنيف
"The city – as Abd al-Rahman Munif convincingly writes in his well-known History of a City – is not its monuments, not even in their most detailed description, and is not the waters, the land and the trees one finds there, although, of course, those things all together or individually exist or can be imagined.
The city does not only consist of the people who live there, even though they give it vitality and a special flavour, as well as a past period cannot be recollected by simply examining a number of events, because, no matter how useful they may be in showing us the right direction, they do not allow us to get where we want.
The city, whatever it may be, is the sum of all those things and more, which interlace, mingle and merge, so that their combination turns out to be something different from the elements that compose it, and despite its indissoluble bond with those elements, it is not identical to any one of them."
Cities and Features of Life
Habash: In your book about Amman, you seem predisposed toward writing the “autobiography of a city,” but this story is discussed within a particular history, from the 1940s until the Palestinian migration. Why this autobiography? Why did you frame the discussion within this history? Do you find Palestinian migration to Amman a reason for its economic and architectural birth?
Munif: It is a multi-dimensional question. First, I do not find much writing about cities in our modern literature, and much of the life features associated with these cities would start to disappear unless documented through means which could keep them alive in memory. My writing the autobiography of the city aims at urging many authors to write about two important things: cities and childhoods.

Museu Blau, Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, Spain
Architects: Herzog & de Meuron, project 2009-2010, realization 2010-2012
Relocating the Museum of Natural Sciences into the Forum Barcelona building signals the beginning of a new life cycle for both institutions: one where each mutually benefits from the space, program and potential of the other. With its large exterior and interior spaces and its reference to natural processes and shapes, the architecture of the Forum is a particularly appropriate new home for the relocated Museum. And the Museum of Natural Science promises to energetically revitalise the existing building, replacing vacant space with intense new public activities.
The open public space that marks the approach from the Diagonal and extends under the triangular body of the building is now diversified and activated, engaging with the life of the city. The corner addressing the city centre retains its function as the main public approach. This is enhanced by the three existing pavilions which are reconfigured to provide meeting places for groups and general information along the approach to the museum entrance. The second corner, further along the Diagonal is enlivened with lush external planting and the basin under the water patio. And finally, the corner addressing the sea is activated by a new exterior dining area for students and groups, adjacent to a bar which opens onto the plaza. The interior of the elevated triangular building, which is like a vast interior landscape, structured by patios, creates a specific space well suited to an exhibition of Natural science and to the Museum’s demand for growth and need to display more of its outstanding collection.
Architecture and Museography
The core of the Museum is its permanent exhibition. This consists of an outstanding collection of rocks and minerals, taxidermy, microbes, plants and herbariums, meteorites, scientific drawings, diagrams, fossils and skeletons, sounds and dioramas, gathered together over centuries in Barcelona. The exhibition consists of elements from the permanent collection structured around the concept of Gaia – the idea of a living planet which forms and is, in turn, transformed by life.
This exhibition arrangement follows the logic of the existing space and at the same time radically transforms it. It frees the visitor to explore any number of individual routes while still ensuring an overall logical sequence. It also extends into the museum lobby, where the main stair and the dramatically hung whale skeleton forms the central arrival and departure point for all public programs, including shop, restaurant, media library, classrooms, event spaces and temporary exhibition, as well as administration and support areas. The lobby extends down to the plaza connecting to the large covered public space of the Museu Blau, allowing for the visitor to invigorate the rapidly developing area where the Diagonal reaches the sea.
Saturday the 14th: The Morning After: I woke before Bronwyn and was struck by the lonely, starkness of the scene before me.
We arrived at London's Sick Kids right around midnight. After putting up with 2 hours of doctors questions and prodding and nurses taking vitals we finally got to sleep. There was a skinny cot for me, not to comfy but happy to have something to lie flat on. Sleep was intermittent but I doubt it had to do with the bed.
Due to all the excitement and "rush" to get here I expected clear, swift action today but instead was told the all important bone marrow test would wait until tuesday. Tuesday! I was confused. Why didn't we stay home until Monday at least and made some plans, did some careful packing? What did we rush for if danger was not eminent? Talking to doctors and nurses through the day brought on the gradual realization that Bronwyn's condition might be too much for our local hospital to handle but here it was routine. The role the doctors and nurses played at Sick Kids was well rehearsed.
I began to calm down, trust the process and even let myself think that maybe it wasn't the worst case scenario. For the first time we heard that there are other conditions that play with one's white blood cell count like viruses such as mono. I was assured that whatever it was it was being caught early.....in the very earliest stages.
This was a good day.
When you are in something so deep, you don't always see the big picture. Your reality is what you have convinced yourself it to be. There is no reason, objectivity or sincere unbiased thoughts on the matter. You get so comfortable in the illusion that you have created, that truth escapes you. It takes almost an out of body experience to give you the untainted sight required to truly see clearly. Pain will push you to that scenic view. Relentless pain that shocks your soul. That is what lifts you above and beyond petty details and insignificant words. That moment when you see a situation for it's entirety and no language can adequately explain your epiphany. Your mind knows that it can not be translated; your heart feels the nourishment; your soul is content. Now you can move on.

Führungen am Campus WU
University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.
Project realization: 2017
Architect: @Gillespies, London
Project: Since 1779, The Piece Hall has stood proudly at the heart of Halifax. Originally built to support the trading of ‘pieces’ of cloth, it has been a meeting point of Halifax’s commercial, civic and cultural life for almost 250 years. In an ambitious and exciting new chapter, The Piece Hall has been reimagined as a new cultural and commercial centre. The Piece Hall has recently undergone a £19 million conservation and transformation programme.
I believe one of the good things about winter is the realization that it eventually unfolds into the warmth and newness of spring... and yet there are other things. Spring is the promise of winter... apples, peaches, and other crops will not fruit properly without exposure to so many hours of freezing weather. Did you know that water expands when it is both frozen and heated? Winter freezes ground water and breaks up the soil. A snowpack forces more nitrogen into soil than most any other way... just one of the ways God tends his garden of spring wildflowers. Winter often assures the things we look forward to in spring... and gives us the contrast to appreciate them.
For many here on Flickr, each day into winter leaves a longing... and it shows, as I'm beginning to see many images of flowers, blooms, and flourishing color rising from sleepy woods in the hope that winter will just move along. I suppose mine is no different here with these Bradford pear buds. One bud (actually only a 1/4 inch in diameter) shows the inner beauty of colorful anthers and stigma just appearing. As is the way with flowers, this "inner beauty" will soon be overshadowed as the petals emerge... nature's version of a spring bonnet. Come to think of it, that's often the way of people, too. Are our "spring bonnets" what bring a springlike refreshing within ourselves? "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment. . . . Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight" (1 Peter 3:3-4).
Newness isn't always a good thing... Vicki, a dear friend from church in Cedar Grove, was recently diagnosed with aplastic thyroid cancer. The prognosis is not good. She's in much pain from radiation therapy, can't swallow, and is having bad reactions to medication. Today, she had a feeding tube inserted. Ironically, Vicki is the leader of our Relay For Life team. At our first fundraiser of 2012, a country ham and egg breakfast, Vicki was weak, but she was still on her game... to the point that nearly $5000 dollars was raised for the American Cancer Society that morning. You wouldn't believe the effort that goes into feeding hundreds of people within the span of a few hours... it requires team effort, and no one brings a team together quite like she does... though daughter Paula's coming along just fine. Love you, Vicki! Thank you for the "inner beauty" that shines within you. Please remember her and her family in your prayers! "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20).
In anticipation of all things new (Revelation 21:5)... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Q3NrB_eHM
The principal argument of Nonzero is to demonstrate that natural selection results in increasing complexity within the world and greater rewards for cooperation. The realization of such prospects is dependent upon increased levels of communication, cooperation, and trust. What is thought of as human intelligence is really just a long step in an evolutionary process of organisms (as well as their networks and individual parts) getting better at processing information.
Humans are here by the luck of the draw.

Phil Collins
He who laughs last laughs longest (2006) highlights the hysteria of televised competition. In a contest to see who can laugh longest, set in the small Scottish town where the inventor of television was born, laughter is transformed from a natural and personal expression of release into an exhausting, defeating performance.
Javier Téllez
In Letter on the Blind, for the Use of Those Who See (2007), Téllez invites a group of blind people to touch and share their perceptions of a live elephant. Inspired by the Indian parable "The Blind Men and the Elephant," Tellez updates the ancient narrative's lesson that every being experiences the same thing in a unique way.
Yael Bartana
In Wild Seeds (2005), Bartana records Israeli teens in a game, first playful, then unsettling, in which "police" pull "settlers" from a clinging group. The escalating hostility of action and dialogue-translated into English on a separate screen-echoes the conflicted sentiments in the Occupied Territories.
