Burlington Danes School, in west London, was built 1936-7 to a design by the Modernist practice Burnet, Tait & Lorne. The structure is brick cladding on a reinforced concrete frame.
I arrived to photograph it at about 3.30 in the afternoon. At the gates stood a man in a para-military uniform. "Security" no doubt. When I returned from a reconnaissance of the side of the building he had gone. "Good", I thought. However, within a few minutes two of the teaching staff appeared. My obvious curiosity about the building attracted their attention.
"Can I help you?"
I explained that I had hoped, if there were no objection, that I might take a photograph. Actually I was being nice. The building was fully visible from the street and I was going to take a photo whether they liked it or not. My interlocutor, a nice middle-aged lady, said that she thought it would be alright so long as none of the students were in view. I groaned inwardly ...and noted the unspoken insinuation. I noted too that she had said "students", where I would have preferred to say "schoolchildren" and wondered, not for the first time, to what extent the problem of "paedophilia" (strictly speaking a meaningless and illiterate word ...but let that pass) is the result of the mad and wicked modern insistence that childhood is something to be rushed through as quickly as possible and that children should take on the appurtenances of adulthood at the earliest possible age. A growing trickle of pupils was now emerging from the school's doorway. "It should be all clear in about fifteen minutes", said the nice lady. I had been walking for several hours and was in need of refreshment. Over her shoulder I saw a large pub on the opposite side of the road. "I'll come back later", I said.
Nearly half an hour later, after partaking of some fortified cordial waters, I returned to the school gate. My nice lady had disappeared and there were now three male teachers. Oh well. Might as well brazen it out. I took two paces inside the gate and raised my camera.
"Excuse me".
I repeated my explainer about wanting to take a photograph of the building.
"Have you been given permission?"
"No", I replied, "I could take an almost identical photograph from the pavement, in which case no permission would be necessary, but there is a slightly better view from here".
The three teachers conferred. Once again I was told that I could take a photo as long as no student was in the picture. "We even have to get written permission from the parents to take photographs of the students for school purposes", he added.
To be fair he was perfectly polite and correct. You have to feel a little bit sympathetic towards anyone placed in the position of having to defend a policy which he probably thinks just as idiotic as you do. What nonsense it is! If I had an unwholesome interest in taking photographs of children there would be nothing to stop me from doing it in a public place. I'd have to be a complete fool to turn up at the gates of a school to take them. Of course, patrolling the school gates makes no difference whatsoever. It merely shifts potential problems to another place. It's all about the avoidance of legal liability.

Built in 1908, this Romanesque Revival-style building was built to serve as the Glenwood Hotel. The building is clad in stucco with roman arched bays, one-over-one double-hung windows, recessed loggias, a corbeled cornice, a neon sign mounted atop the roof, and a partially open rear courtyard. The building is a contributing structure in the Armory Park Historic Residential District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and increased to its present size in 1996. Today, the building has been rehabilitated as an apartment complex.
An extension of iron Aelfred designed by joel cooper and folded by me from an uncut irregular concave octagon. Named after a character in super paper mario since it has a comically large mustache. I'm pretty happy with the shininess of the paint. But I'm trying to get away from glossy acrylics and trying to transition into acrylics with more of a matte finish.

Taxonomic composition of soil microbial community based on the metagenomes from five soil habitats.A) Taxonomic cladogram showing all detected taxa (relative abundance ≥0.5%) in at least one sample. Taxonomic clades with more than five samples ≥0.5% abundance were used as inputs for LEfSe. Seven rings of the cladogram stand for domain (innermost), phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species (outermost), respectively. Enlarged circles in color are the differentially abundant taxa identified to be metagenomic biomarkers and the circle color is corresponding to the individual soil habitat in which the taxon is the most abundant among 5 soil ecosystems (Green for forest soil, red for grassland, purple for Arctic soil, blue for mangrove sediment, and orange for desert). B) The histograms of relative abundances of family-level biomarkers in each sample. Bacterial families significantly differential among all pairwise comparisons were illustrated. The average abundance of each family in the individual soil habitat was denoted by the horizontal line.

310 Water Street, Vancouver, BC.
Description of Historic Place:
The Taylor Building is a five storey plus lower level Edwardian era brick and stone-clad commercial building located on the south side of Water Street in the historic district of Gastown, now adapted for use as residential units on the upper floors and retail space on the main floor and lower level. The northern slope of the site towards the original waterfront allows a partial exposure of the lower level.
Heritage Value:
Gastown is the historic core of Vancouver, and is the city's earliest, most historic area of commercial buildings and warehouses. The Taylor Building is representative of the importance of Gastown as the trans-shipment point between the terminus of the railway and Pacific shipping routes, and the consequent expansion of Vancouver into western Canada's predominant commercial centre in the early twentieth century. The massive cubic form, high density, large clear-span floor-plate and notable height of this structure are a clear indication of the extent and prosperity of wholesale trade during this period.
The Taylor Building is an excellent example of a prestigious Edwardian era building erected in Gastown on a speculative basis for general commercial purposes. It was commissioned by Walter Taylor and Edward Clarence Taylor. Walter Taylor was the founder and managing director of the Empress Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which dealt in imported coffees and local jams and jellies and one of the earliest and most successful of the local food supply companies.
This building is valued as a representation of the classically-influenced Edwardian era commercial style that was prevalent in Gastown during the early twentieth century. The elements that make up the Taylor Building are indicative of the ideal of Vancouver as a modern city in the early twentieth century. The strong facade design reflects the skill of its architects, Grant and Henderson, the partnership of G.W. Grant (1852-1925) and A.E. Henderson (1872-1927). They were a significant firm, responsible for designing a substantial number of commercial, institutional and industrial buildings in the Greater Vancouver area. The contractor, J.J. Dissette, was a prominent local builder.
As the warehousing and light industry functions in Gastown became obsolete, a number of these large warehouse structures have been adapted to other uses; this structure has now been converted for residential use and contributes to the ambiance of the Gastown historic district. Its adaptive reuse within the context of the redevelopment of Gastown as a heritage district represents the changing nature of the local context and economy from warehousing and manufacturing to commercial, retail and residential uses.

Character-Defining Elements:
The character-defining elements of the Taylor Building include:
- location, in close proximity to the waterfront of Burrard Inlet and the Canadian Pacific Railway yard

- spatial relationship to other late Victorian and Edwardian era commercial buildings
- form, scale and massing, as expressed in its five-storey plus lower level height, flat roof and rectangular plan
- classically-influenced Edwardian era design elements, including the symmetrical massing of the front facade, regular fenestration pattern and projecting cornice
- masonry construction, such as the tan brick front facade cladding and the common red brick side walls and rear facade (now parged)
- fenestration: double-assembly double-hung 2-over-2 wood-sash windows on the upper floors of the front facade; double-hung 2-over-2 wood-sash windows on the rear facade; rectangular windows to the lower level; and tall rectangular wood-sash storefront windows with transoms
- two central prefabricated cast iron columns
