Sketchbook Ink + Sketchbook Pro. Sketchbook ink is a very promising app with the biggest export options(remembering that we're talking about size and not resolution - dpi), but need some bug fixes: usage of memory improvements(it takes a little to render the image, and takes much more to erase a segment of the image - sometimes more than 3 seconds...), the export pdf would be great and the lack of 1 or 2 more layers makes it dificult to work without worrying every minute about where you're putting a line or a color and where you gonna put the next - I know they idealized this app to be a companion to S.Pro and other more complete drawing apps , but the adition of these features and the bug fixes would make it a lot and lot better...but it's in the right way.

The architecture of Iceland draws from Scandinavian influences and was traditionally influenced by the lack of native trees on the island. The well-insulated turf houses (torfbæir) reflect the country's cold climate and relative difficulty in obtaining construction materials.
The turf houses constructed by the original settlers from the west coast of Norway were based on Viking longhouses (langhús). The exterior turf walls were lined internally with a wooden frame, which was then panelled, with the roof resting on two rows of pillars dividing the internal space. The main room of the house, the skáli, consisted of a central open hearth and two raised platforms, known as set, which served as beds and benches. Similar longhouses have been found across Scandinavia, the Faroes, and the Scottish isles, as well as Greenland. When it was settled, only 30% of Iceland was forested, mostly with birch. While oak was the preferred timber for building Norse halls in Scandinavia, some structures in Norway had turf roofs so using it as a building material was not alien to settlers.
The common Icelandic turf house has a large foundation made of flat stones; upon this was built a wooden frame with two rows of posts that would hold the load of the turf. The turf was fitted around the frame in blocks, often with a second layer, or in the more fashionable herringbone style. The only external wood would be the often-decorative doorway that led to the main hall. The floor of a turf house could be covered with wood, stone, or earth, and the turf on the inside walls could be panelled with wood or otherwise covered, depending on the purpose of the building.
Icelandic architecture changed in many ways in the more than 1,000 years the turf houses were being constructed. The first evolutionary step happened in the 14th century, when the Viking-style longhouses were gradually abandoned and replaced with many small and specialized interconnected buildings all coming off of the main hall. Later houses included an additional living space, the stofa, and would be accompanied by smaller outhouses. This layout also incorporated a pantry and lavatory; going to the attached toilet was often done in large groups.
Over the years, the layout became more compartmentalised, eventually including a baðstofa (a heated sauna room). In response to the colder Icelandic climate, the center of the home's activity--eating, sleeping, and housework--was moved into the baðstofa. The design evolved as the entrance was moved between the living room and main room so that all the rooms in the house were joined by a central passageway; this layout was known as a gangabær. Possibly in response to a deteriorating climate and declining timber supplies, people went back to living in the one-room baðstofa layout.
Eventually, the small buildings were shifted from facing into the main hall and lined up to face the front yard. Around 1791, under Danish interest, a gable-fronted design (burstabær) proposed by Guðlaugur Sveinsson became widespread in the warmer climate in the south of Iceland. This is the most commonly depicted version of the Icelandic turf house. An example of this design is the Glaumbær turf farmhouse at Skagafjordur Folk Museum, which was opened at the Glaumbær Farm in 1952.
The design was still evolving in the 1900s with additions like the framhús, a kind of timber porch at the front entrance of buildings. Today grasshouses are no longer constructed in Iceland (construction stopped in the mid-20th century), and the few remaining examples are generally open to public as open-air museums. There is some evidence to suggest a Celtic influence in early Icelandic architecture in the form of stone roundhouses and sheepcotes.
The urban style of wooden houses clothed in corrugated iron was in turn replaced by modern earthquake-resistant buildings of reinforced concrete.
Figures of Influence: Florence Nightingale and Sir Joseph Bazalgette
The nineteenth century was tumultuous and ripe for reform. Different charismatic figures with varying philosophies and approaches all attempted to conquer the biggest questions of the day relating to health, corruption, urban development, and quality of life. Who was most effective? I argue that while any individual who produced tangible results or implemented mechanisms was more successful than many, those who were most successful were those who used their skills to connect with their communities and use open communication and feedback to produce enduring models. As examples, I compared Florence Nightingale and Sir Jospeh Bazalgette.
Florence Nightingale, 1820-1910, was the daughter of affluent, landed parents who were well connected within the upper-class London community. She was privately educated and, although her parents were often perceived as somewhat ornamental, her mother sometimes hosted well-attended intellectual salons. In her early years Florence was dissatisfied, depressed, and wondered what her role as an upper-class girl was, especially in the lives of the less fortunate. She became spiritual and toured different religious communities where she came across a group of dedicated women at Kaiserwerth am Rhein who cared for the poor and destitute. From this experience she believed that women of any class could be trained to be effective nurses. She then entered the world of hospital administration and earned a reputation as a fierce advocate for hygiene and medical standards, citing her own statistical research of deaths in different environments. She worked as a nurse and administrator during the Crimean War, earning a formidable reputation as a leader, and was later granted a royal commission in London that established a medical cabinet to generate reports in order to reform Army medicine. Eventually a Nightingale fund was established to help endow schools, training programs, and hospital development, although support flitted from group to group and cause to cause as many failed or fell victim to conflicting leadership or ideologies. [1]
Jospeh Bazalgette, 1819-1891, was the only son of a naval officer. He was educated privately and was an apprentice to a civil engineer until he established his own practice in 1842. He worked tirelessly during the railroad boom in the 1840’s, took a brief medical leave, and returned in 1849 to work on the second metropolitan commission of sewers in London. When the main engineer of the project passed away, Bazalgette filled the position. Although the project changed management several times and ultimately ended under the London County Council, Bazalgette and his team developed 1300 miles of sewers, 82 additional miles of intercepting passages, and 4 pumping stations. He is especially remembered for his work on the Albert, Victoria, and Chelsea Embankments along the Thames in relation to this project. After the completion of the sewers he surveyed bridges that the British government had purchased and made public to eliminate tolls. He also was an advocate in Parliament and small committees for bills of public amenities like water supplies and energy because he was concerned that private ventures would overshadow public need. [2]
Nightingale and Bazalgette were both privately educated intellectuals with a desire to improve standardization and efficiency in the public arena. Both threw themselves into their work tirelessly to the point of medical impairment; Nightingale was an invalid and shut in for 20 years after complications arising from an infection and Bazalgette took a medical leave from 1847-1848. Nightingale focused her efforts on public health and reform, especially nursing, and was little less than a dictator of the hospitals she oversaw. She hoped to implement her exact standards on every organization she approached, whether it was nursing school, midwifery, the military health sector, or hospitals themselves. The problem was that she was too stubborn and specific- many institutions fell short of her standards and projects were constantly being abandoned in favor of new ones. It cannot be denied that her reform of nursing had great impact, but her inability to foster a loyal group of followers and those who could execute her strict ideals was her downfall. She tried to be a one-woman army and spread herself very thin. Bazalgette, however, shared his work and ideas with teams of engineers and was constantly consulting and conversing with the established communities of engineers in London. He continued assuming responsibility for his projects long after completion, furthering their development and monitoring their financial and operational statuses. He also formed close ties with other engineers and mentored many aspiring scientists to form enduring connections. [1,2]
Perhaps it was because Nightingale was a woman that she felt she could not share power with anyone else if she wanted the job done right, but she took on so much all at one time. Perhaps it was also that she was trying to enact change in a very dynamic field and her 20 years as an invalid put her out of touch with the latest developments in public health. She was a strong proponent of the miasma theory and as Snow’s water theory became more prevalent I imagine her other philosophies might have suffered in the public eye. Her few contacts to the political world died in the middle of her career and the nineteenth century was not a hospitable place for an aggressive, assertive woman with few allies. Bazalgette was likely the beneficiary of the respect the public had for engineers and by his time many of the principles of physics had been established and vetted; his projects likely seemed more exciting than controversial. He was also given the space to reform the city’s infrastructure by committees, Nightingale had to wrestle her way into the spotlight. Given all of these factors, it is not surprising that Bazalgette was able to provide more meaningful and successful reformation to nineteenth century cities, although it is certainly interesting that it is the name of Florence Nightingale that lives on. One does not hear much about Bazalgette in popular histories and it seems unfortunate that such a dedicated and influential man be unheralded for his achievements.

Influenced by and compared to works by the Pre-Raphaelites popular mid-century, Waterhouse's works are later and not strictly related to those by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. However, compare this piece with Ophelia by Millais, also in this album, and one easily finds similarity and comprehends the comparison. Further, lost/unrequited love is a recurring theme in 19th century British art.
The brick-built Russian Orthodox church of 1861 is a vestige of Finland's century as part of imperial Russia (1809-1918). HKL runs the city's transport network, including 12 tram routes, operated by a mixture of new low-floor vehicles and the Valmet Nr.1-built units of the 1980s.
Influenced by the Playground movement of 1905 , Mr. E.W. Clark, a prominent Philadelphian, purchased five acres of former quarry land with the intention of making it a playground after a young child drowned. He hired George T. Pearson a well-known architect to design the main building. It was known originally as the Quarry Playground House, completed in 1910 and still in use today. Mrs. Clark named the playground Happy Hollow. The Clark’s donated the state-of-the-art facility, to the Playground Association of Philadelphia. The opening of the Happy Hollow Playground was announced April 29, 1911. It is documented to be the city’s oldest playground/recreation center. Research substantiates that it was in fact the first recreation center in the state. We are now in the process of filing for a state historic marker.
