"Village that towers above China" by

Comment by Philip McMaster:
People favourably respond to Change
Generally speaking, people don't change for the better when criticized. But they do respond favourably to praise.
Huaxi Cun is not the worst place in China, and it has been following and sometimes leading the objectives and trends of the government and Chinese people - first it was to get rich - and clean up the mess later. We did this in the West on our own schedule, some Chinese are doing it now under the generally hypocritical pressure of the global community.
人们对改变的有利反应
总体上，当人们受到批评的时候，不会变得更好。但他们受到表扬的时候，总是积极反应。华西村不是中国最差 的地方，它跟从着-有时也领导着中国政府与人民的目标与潮流。这个目标首先是变富，然后再处理垃圾。西方按照自己的日程表也这样做过。现在有些中国人也这 么做，就面临虚伪的国际压力。
An aspirational monument - if you choose to see it that way..
When I was invited to Huaxi Cun for the inauguration of the “Village in the Sky”, (www.tudou.com/programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ ) I spoke of the new tower as a beacon for all to see, not in terms of opulence and excess, but as a towering 3 element "Symbol of Sustainability" - an aspirational symbol rising above all else - including the cookie-cutter villas, the grubby factories, the money focus and the faux world landmarks - to shock and awe viewers into realizing that all monuments have a message – and this one should inspire people to make the connection between Heaven, Earth and the People (Tian, Di, Ren 天地人) and that to achieve Wu Renbao’s “Heaven on Earth”… the Triple-Bottom-Line balance between Society, Environment and Economy （社会,环境,经济）must become Huaxi’s new ethic.
一个振奋人心的里程碑——如果你从另一个角度解读
我应邀了参加华西村“空中新农村大楼”授牌仪式(www.tudou.com /programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ )，当时我谈到这栋大楼并不是炫富和挥霍，而是华西村的一个新地标。比起那些千篇一律的别墅，脏乱差的工厂，一切向钱看的态度和人造世界景观，这栋摩天大 楼是一个振奋人心 里程碑，它作为可持续发展的标志建筑让人感到震撼和心生敬畏，它能让人们感到天地人和谐发展的信息，体现了吴仁宝“人间天堂”的理念。以社会，环境和经济 作为三条支柱，寻求三者的平衡发展是华西村的新理念。

"Now that Huaxi village is rich, what's next?"
Following my presentation, the new building’s architect Ma Xusheng, in turn praised my interpretation of his building’s design, saying that no one had thought of it before, but that “with your new ‘Society, Environment, Economy ‘meaning attached, our building is even richer”.
At a private dinner with village leaders the evening before, I had shamelessly asked: “Now that Huaxi village is rich, what’s next?” – hoping to encourage them to expound on how they were going to share Huaxi’s wealth and expertise with other communities and to build sustainable enterprises based on a model ecological civilisation… however the response was understandable, as a bit more thinking is required; and considering most people’s focus was still on showing off and celebrating what they have achieved so far, the answer was a simple “Gambei!”

“现在华西村富了，接下来呢？”
我的演讲结束后，这栋新大楼的建筑师马旭升（音）反过来称赞了我对他的建筑设计的诠释，说以前从未有人想到这个方面，“加上您说的‘社会、环境、经济’意义后，我们的摩天大楼更加富裕了”。
前一天晚上和华西村领导的聚餐上，我厚着脸皮问了一句：“现在华西村富裕了，接下来呢？”我当时希望他们能够详细阐述下怎样和其他地区分享华西村的 财富和技术，以及在生态文明模型的基础上建立起可持续发展的企业。但是，他们的回答很简单，就是：“干杯！”当然，这是可以理解的，因为回答这个问题需要 一些思考，而且当时大多数人的注意力仍然在炫耀和庆祝他们至今已取得的成就上。

We tune into each of their stories at a pivotal point, sit back, and watch the sparks fly. Produced by People Zoo Productions, 'Senseless Romance' will make its debut at the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival. Starring Darren Jeffries (Hollyoaks) and Lucy Hayward. NEW WRITING, THEATRE, DRAMA, PLAY

Marine Protected Area (MPA) Glam Shots is a project by artist, Jessica Ling Findley, combining retro glamour portraits with sea creatures thriving in Marine Protected Areas (MPA) to highlight successful human actions to help heal our oceans.
The Stellar Octopus cyanea from Madagascar
Over 3 billion people’s livelihoods depend on marine and coastal biodiversity around the world. Fishery management provides economic benefits of conservation and community engagement with broader marine management. Madagascar has incredible biodiversity, but due to climate change, as well as over exploitation, it’s delicate marine ecosystem is at high risk. Local fisheries engage with the community to practice “no-take” conservation periods which allows the octopus time to become old enough to reproduce and increases the catch for those who depend on it.
Octopus cyanea moves along the seafloor camouflaging itself not only with color but with texture. Although octopuses are normally nocturnal, Octopus cyanea prefers twilight. Yet it is also known as the Day Octopus, because it can be found hunting in cooperation with a roving coral grouper fish who often points out hiding prey when the octopus seeks shelter in the coral. It’s lifespan is about 12-14 months from its planktonic larval state.
About the Artist:

Project Origins:
Inspired by the world’s premier Ocean Sciences Meeting in February 2020, Seaport Village and The Port of San Diego have invited artist Jessica Ling Findley to produce a series of art experiences. She will help bring science to life through art at Seaport Village from December 2019 to February 2020. As ocean vitality becomes more critical with changing climate, these works, produced with input and data from scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Birch Aquarium, explore how stories of Ocean Optimism can inspire us all to work together for a sustainable future. These immersive experiences invite audiences to think about the future of our oceans in new and creative ways.

...I wrote an article on bento for The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin. It ran in the paper yesterday.
I got nearly the whole front page of the Food & Family section! And some space on the next page too (three recipes and a quick 'how to pack a bento' blurb).
The article didn't make it to the paper's online edition so I can't link the text.
Update: In response to popular demand, now you can read the article online! (Sorry about the lame formatting; I'm at work and had to hand-code the HTML in Wordpad.)
SO proud and excited! I just got this article from my brother featured in Billboard Magazine. After being with Epic Records for 9 year Mike has accepted a job at Capitol Music Group and is now SENIOR VP and Record Producer at Capitol (Universal)!! SO PROUD of Mike!! Really, it doesn't get much cooler than this: A big time Hollywood Record Producer--and loving what he does----and now Senior Vice Pres! A SUPER, SUPERSTAR------ Congrats Mike!
Here is a different Billboard's Article from last month and Yahoo Finance too. :)!

This photo ran with a New York Times front-page article by Lola about the new group of black chick lit authors--a MAJOR moment for us. We met on move-in day freshman year at University of Virginia, were roommates all through college, got our first Brooklyn apartment together the summer after graduation, lived together for five years, and suffered through horrible jobs, relationships, twenty-something drama--and the whole time, we were working towards one goal. I wanted to be a novelist, and she wanted to work at The Times. And we finally made it! I was in an article about glamorous black writers (check) that she wrote for the Times' front page (check)! FROM BOTTOM LEFT: Tonya Lewis Lee (co-author, GOTHAM DIARIES), Charlotte Burley (co-author, COSMOPOLITAN GIRLS), Erika Kennedy (author, BLING), me (author, THE ACCIDENTAL DIVA), Lyah Beth Leflore (co-author, COSMOPOLITAN GIRLS), and Crystal McCrary Anthony (co-author, GOTHAM DIARIES).
From Automotive Industries magazine, 1947. Many interesting articles in these pertaining to the state of industry after the war was over. I bought a box full of them at an auction over 25 years ago and slowly gleaning what I want from them, giving some away and recycling the rest.

Hier sehen sie den Porsche 356 B 2000 GS Carrera GTL Abarth, bei dem der 1,6-Liter-Motor auf zwei Liter Hubraum aufgebohrt wurde und so rund 99 kW / 135 PS leistet.
Neben dem Antrieb spielte natürlich auch Carlo Abarths Expertise eine wichtige Rolle bei den Erfolgen des in die Jahre gekommen Sportwagens (immerhin wurde der Porsche 356 seit 1948 gebaut).
Allerdings hat diese Rennversion fast nichts mehr mit dem ursprünglichen Fahrzeug gemein. Der österreichisch-italienische Leichtbau-Experte schmiss alles aus dem Auto, was in den Verdacht stand, Gewicht zu verursachen:
Die Dämmung flog raus (deswegen wandelt man immer am Hörsturz, wenn man den 356er Abarth ausdreht), im Cockpit befindet sich nur das Nötigste und die Insassen zwängen sich in einfache Plastik-Sitzschalen.
Die Hülle besteht aus Aluminium und wurde von Hand bei den Karosseriespezialisten von Zagato zusammengebaut.
Also wiegt der Porsche 356 B 2000 GS Carrera GTL nur noch 778 Kilogramm, war damit circa 120 Kilogramm leichter als der Normalo-Carrera und bis zu 220 km/h schnell. Die Abmessungen unterscheiden sich ebenfalls deutlich: Der Abart 356er ist 13 Zentimeter niedriger und kürzer sowie zwölf Zentimeter schmaler.
Die Zweiliter-Version triumphierte 1961 bei der legendären Targa Florio und holte Klassensiege in Le Mans sowie die Europa-Bergmeisterschaften 1960 und 1961.
So strahlend die Siege des Porsche 356 B 2000 GS Carrera GTL Abarth auch heute noch klingen, die Geburt dieses legendären Sportwagens war von heftigen Wehen begleitet.
Zunächst ging alles ganz reibungslos: Während der IAA 1959 trafen sich Ferry Porsche und sein Chef-Ingenieur Klaus von Rücker im Hotel "Frankfurter Hof", um mit Carlo Abarth die Zusammenarbeit zu besiegeln. Der gebürtige Wiener hatte damals schon einen exzellenten Ruf, wenn es darum ging, Automobilen ein paar Extra-Vitamine zu verpassen. Eigentlich war der Tuner auf Fiat und Simca spezialisiert, nahm den Auftrag aus Zuffenhausen jedoch freudestrahlend an.
Karl Abarth (so sein Geburtsname) war es gewohnt, autokratisch zu agieren und tat seine Meinung bisweilen auch lautstark kund. Es entwickelte sich eine Geschäftsposse mit Eifersüchteleien und Lieferproblemen. Aus der Hochzeit in Hessen wurde schnell eine Seifenoper voller Eifersüchteleien und Kompetenzgerangel, die auch als Skript für eine Vorabendserie herhalten könnte. Dennoch wurden 21 Modelle des Leichtbau-Renners gebaut, der sich seinen Platz in der Porsche-Walhalla verdiente.
