So many things can have to be changed when switching hosting providers that sometimes code branching is the best answer (DUH). Here's my feeble attempt at trying to explain the process during one such move. This actually went on for months, with me merging privately and creating builds for testing. This was the final branching plan, once I knew everything would merge properly and I was asked to get everyone comfortable. This was sometime in 2002.

The vision of HSB Turning Torso is based on a sculpture called Twisting Torso. In 1999 HSB Malmö’s former Managing Director Johnny Örbäck saw the sculpture in a brochure which presented Santiago Calatrava in connection with his contribution to the architectural competition for the Öresund Bridge.
It was on this occasion that Johnny Örbäck got the idea to build HSB Turning Torso. Shortly thereafter he travelled to Zurich to meet with Santiago Calatrava and ask him to design a residential building based on the idea of a structure of twisting cubes.
HSB Turning Torso is an amazing combination of sculpture and building. It is also one of the few landmarks in the world which becomes part of everyday life with its ten floors of offices, 147 apartments and meeting facilities on the two top floors.
Santiago Calatrava
The architect behind HSB Turning Torso is Santiago Calatrava. The Spaniard is one of the most fascinating architects of our time and is responsible for a number of fascinating projects.
Calatrava is a trained sculptor, architect and engineer and is among other things responsible for projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex in Athens and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub which is being built in connection with Ground Zero. He has also created several bridges, railway stations and air traffic control towers.

A recently planted Cobnut in the Cowick Barton playing fields. Much like Common hazel it has the dangling male catkins and the small deep-pink female flowers. An excellent source of information on these amazing shrubs can be found here: ift.tt/2FQinoK ===General information (sourced from above)=== A cobnut is a cultivated variety of hazelnut, just as a Cox is a cultivated variety of apple. Mankind has enjoyed wild hazelnuts from time immemorial, and cultivated hazelnuts, sometimes known as filberts, have been grown in gardens and orchards since at least the 16th century. Children played an early version of 'conkers' with hazelnuts; the game was called cobnut or cobblenut, and the winning nut "the cob". Many new cultivars were bred in the 19th century. The variety Kentish Cob was probably introduced in about 1830 and was so successful it soon supplanted most other varieties. Cobnut production increased greatly, especially in the Home Counties, where the produce could be taken to London by train. Labour was cheap, and by 1913 plantations extended to over 7,000 acres (2,830 hectares), most of the orchards or 'plats' being in Kent. After the First World War, labour became more expensive, and home produce had to compete with imported fruit and nuts, which became increasingly available as transport and refrigeration improved. By 1951, the area of cobnuts in Kent was estimated at no more than 730 acres (300 hectares), and by 1990 this had declined to about 250 acres (100 hectares) and many of the plats were derelict. Cobnut trees produce separate male and female flowers. Only the female flowers can develop into nuts, and then only if they are fertilised with pollen from the male flower. The male flowers are yellow catkins also familiar on hazel bushes in hedges and woods. Each catkin produces millions of grains of pollen which get distributed on the wind. Varieties differ widely in the time they shed pollen, from the New Year until March in the south of England. The female flower is a tiny red tuft. Again, the time these are produced depends on variety, and the catkins and female flowers may not be out at the same time. Cobnuts are largely self sterile - the pollen from a given variety cannot pollinate the same variety. If you live in the countryside where there are plenty of wild hazels nearby, then these will probably pollinate your trees. Otherwise you will need to purchase two compatible varieties. The website section on varieties provides information on which varieties best go together. ===Varieties=== Kentish Cob is a reliable cropper, relatively hardy, with excellent flavour. It is recommended for domestic use. It is pollinated by Gunslebert, Cosford and Merveille de Bollwiller, and probably also by wild hazels. Merveille de Bollwiller (also called Hall's Giant) is a hardy, vigorous and productive variety with large nuts. It is pollinated by Kentish Cob, Cosford, Butler and Ennis. Butler is a large mid- to late-season nut. It is hardy, vigorous and a heavy cropper, and a short-husked variety which de-husks freely when ripe. It is popular for modern commercial production, and is pollinated by Ennis and Merveille de Bollwiller. Ennis is a very attractive large round nut with a superb flavour, but a tendency to produce a significant proportion of blank nuts. It is pollinated by Butler and Merveille de Bollwiller. Purple Filbert (also misnamed Red Filbert) is an ornamental variety with red or purple leaves. It produces a small crop of thin-shelled nuts of excellent flavour but which are particularly susceptible to nut weevil. It is not recommended for nut production. ===Pests and problems=== Grey squirrels are voracious feeders on nuts. A few trees can be denuded of cobnuts in a few days, or even hours, especially at the start of the season. Squirrels cannot usually take the entire crop from several acres, but can still cause considerable damage. Nut weevil is a significant pest which both reduces yield considerably and adds to sorting costs. Adult insects deposit eggs in young nuts. The larvae which hatch from the eggs devour the developing kernel. They then gnaw a neat round hole in the shell to emerge a week or two after the start of the season. However, not all nuts will be affected, and those affected by weevil can be detected by the hole in the shell. ===Common names=== Cobnuts Filberts Hazelnuts ===Other useful links=== ift.tt/2HQE6K0 ift.tt/2FQinVM ift.tt/2FZK76q ift.tt/2G9P0gs

Fermilab's Tevatron Shutdown Event was held September 30th, 2011 at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
"Antiproton Source: To produce antiprotons, physicists steer proton beams onto a nickel target. The collisions produce a wide range of secondary particles, including many antiprotons. The aniprotons enter a beamline where beam operators capture and focus them before injecting them into a storage ring, where they are accumulated and cooled. Cooling the antiproton beam reduces its size and makes it very bright. After accumulating a sufficient number of antiprotons, beam operators send them to the Recycler for additional cooling and accumulation before they inject them into the Tevatron. "

To the south of Berlin in Germany, there is Pflaueninsel. Peacock Island. Searching through Wikipedia, I discovered I photographed an "Indian Blue Peafowl"
...
The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent. The peacock is the national bird of India.
The fissure in the ice, which runs all across the lake, seems to have started here at the base of the walkway. Perhaps the wood warmed, causing the ice to crack. In past years, as the ice cracked, it sounded like shotguns going off.

PEN Presents: “Secret Sources" brought together NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, Jesselyn Radack of ExposeFacts' Whistleblower & Source Protection Program, New York Times reporter James Risen, and moderator Susan Glasser of Politico to debate the impact of the Obama administration’s aggressive pursuit of national security leaks on freedom of expression. The issue has gained unprecedented national attention following the 2013 revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who joined the event via Skype following the panel in a conversation with PEN Executive Director Suzanne Nossel on whistleblowing and questions of conscience.
This forum builds off of a new PEN report, Secret Sources: Whistleblowers, National Security, and Free Expression. PEN’s research demonstrates that gaps in existing protections for whistleblowers, failure to adequately address retaliation against them, and the Obama Administration’s use of the Espionage Act against leakers is damaging freedom of expression, press freedom, and access to information in the United States.

Histoire : La source Lardy, du nom de son inventeur, fut exploitée à partir de 1848, peu après sa découverte (1844). Les pavillons primitifs étaient de petits édifices en bois recouverts de chaume. Le pavillon actuel a été édifié en 1900. Edifice en bois de plan rectangulaire, terminé au nord par trois pans. L'ensemble repose sur treize piliers de bois. A l'intérieur, un mur clôt les sources et supporte une verrières à petits bois. L'ensemble a un plan en U. Intérieurement et extérieurement, le mur est recouvert de carreaux de faïences aux couleurs bleu, jaune, vert et or. A l'intérieur, deux parties sont délimitées par une différence de niveau, matérialisée par un escalier et une grille en fer forgé. Dans chacune d'elles, un bassin circulaire contenait la source, recouvert de carreaux de faïence de même couleur que les murs extérieurs. La source du fond était protégée par une cloche de verre. A son aplomb a été élevé un dôme hexagonal, couvert en écailles et terminé par un lanternon. Ce pavillon est, à Vichy, l'un des derniers vestiges de ces constructions en bois, architecture de jardin dans la tradition des fabriques.
Précisions : Source Lardy avec le hall qui la couvre (cad. AT 18) : inscription par arrêté du 8 février 1986
Adresse : 111 rue du Maréchal-Lyautey
Type : Monuments historiques
Epoque : 1er quart 20e siècle
Année de construction : 1900
Eléments protégés : fontaine ; vestibule ; source
