In Count Zero, the second book of William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, one of the characters is living in a tank, spending his life in a artificial construct of Gaudi's Güell Park.
I knew I had to see the real Güell Park, as a result, to compare Gibson's fictional reality against the real thing.
That I then saw a VR tour setup outside, so that you could literally enter an artificial construct of Güell Park, just made things all the more amusing.

Count Basie Theatre
Red Bank - Circa 1926; A Town Full Of Theatres Adds One More
Even though there were already several other theatres in the Borough of Red Bank, New Jersey by 1925 (including the Strand, Palace, Empire and Lyric Theatres), on July 29, 1925 the Red Bank Register reported that Joseph Oschwald of Little Silver had announced plans to build a theatre on Monmouth Street for a partnership of Joseph Stern of Newark, the Burns and Schaffer Amusement Co., and Walter Reade. Joseph Stern was already operating the Tivoli, Central, Plaza, Savoy and Regent Theaters in Newark, the Castle Theater in Irvington, the Lincoln Theater in Bloomfield, the Capitol Theater in Belleville and the Grand and Casino Theaters in Kearney. Walter Reade, for whom the Walter Reade Theatre at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City is now named, was already New Jersey's largest theatre owner, with ownership or an interest in thirty-one other venues in the state.
Projected to open eight months later on April 1, 1926, the new theatre would have seating for about 2,000 persons and be equipped for moving pictures, vaudeville and dramatic shows. The ninety foot by one hundred and ten foot theatre would include a wide lobby on Monmouth Street flanked by two storefronts, and a stage entrance for scenery via a ten-foot wide strip of land around the corner on Pearl Street. The noted theatre architect Thomas W. Lamb was reported to be drawing the plans for the new building, with an exterior of white terra cotta, and an interior finished in Old Gold and Red. The property and the rights of way for the land were purchased for $21,000, and the projected construction cost was $300,000 to $500,000.

Hűvösvölgy, romos Heinrich-villa. Built in 1895 by Sándor Hauszmann. This was a summer villa of a count. It can be found not far from where I live in Budapest, in Buda Hills. Sadly it was socializated in the fifties by the communists, and was divided up of five flats. The situation is the same today, and the long-ago fine and elegant buiding is now in such a ruinous state as you can see from the photo. Decay could be beautiful but it's sad too.
German students are raising awareness about the need to invest in birth registration – one fingerprint at a time!
The unique initiative calls on people in Germany to lend their support to Plan's Count Every Child work by donating a fingerprint.
Since November, Plan Germany's Youth Advisory Panel and Plan Action Youth Group have been running activities to collect as many prints as possible. The final display will be handed over to the German government as a kind of petition to call for the realisation of universal birth registration within effective, comprehensive and rights based civil registration and vital statistics systems.
