So, I have to admit, I was WAY more excited about seeing the inside of Maple Leaf Gardens (which, somewhat disappointingly, has not been altered at all since it closed) than I was about seeing this piece. My expectations were met - the piece was interesting (see the description below), but it could easily have been set up in any building in town and gotten the same (if not better and more intimate) result.
Without Persons, 2008
Luis Jacob - Toronto, Canada
Multimedia Installation
"Without Persons" is a multi-media installation centered around two computer-generated male and female voices speaking about being-in-the-city and being-with-others. Accompanying the audio are two video screens which will abstractly and resonantly illustrate the spoken text. The artificial voices speak in an earnest manner about being with others in society -- voices that seem to belong to the concerned but disembodied surrogate-parents of an uncannily absent child.
As audience members, it is within us that is produced the primal scene of conception and birth, the emergence of our budding consciousness, and our entry into a well-managed existence. The eagerness to communicate expressed by these caring, parental voices contrasts poignantly with the inhuman aura of artificial speech.

Jon managed to find me a plush Hanpanda for my birthday! They're quite difficult to find, I think he bought it from a website in the states (we're in the UK).
This one is called Nyanpan and he's half panda, half cat!
This character is from the first series. I think there were supposed to be more series following, but I'm not sure. The official website is www.hanpanda.com. Designed by Nagi Noda (www.uchu-country.com).
From the label:
"Introducing NYANPAN
I am NyanPan, I love gardening, you know? I am living in fabulous condo where I can see see ocean on "HANPANDA KINGDOM". So I have to be patient not to sharpen my claws because I want to keep my room stay neat. I love taking a nap. I often stay in my room all day long. Oh, I want to furnish my room with a big pink bed...
What's Hanpanda?
"HANPANDA", half of it is panda and the other half is other animal. There are more than 100 kinds of "HANPANDA" and they live together happily in the "HANPANDA KINGDOM". The "HANDPANDA KINGDOM" is a pleasant place... there are jungle, swamp, sea and river! Each "HANPANDA" has a different character. Some love to play, some love to sleep and some love to eat. Look for "HANPANDA" that's similar to you! If you explore the "HANPANDA KINGDOM", you can sometime meet a rare "HANPANDA".
HANPANDA KINGDOM
*Population 500 or more persons
*Area The Half of Oafu island
*Language: Hanpandash
*Currency: Hanpanda dollar"
Update: Ha ha, little did Jon (bounder) realise that I also managed to get him a hanpanda - the Usapan Hanpanda - for his birthday, which is only 5 days after mine.

In 1907 the Commercial Managing Director, Mr Claude Johnson (often described as the hyphen in "Rolls-Royce"), ordered a car to be used as a demonstrator by the company. With chassis no. 60551 and registered AX 201, it was the 12th 40/50 hp to be made, and was painted in aluminium paint with silver-plated fittings. The car was named the "Silver Ghost" to emphasise its ghost-like quietness, and a plaque bearing this name adorned the bulkhead. An open-top body by coachbuilder Barker was fitted, and the car readied for the Scottish reliability trials of 1907 and, immediately afterwards, another 15,000-mile (24,000 km) test which included driving between London and Glasgow 27 times.
The aim was to raise public awareness of the new company and to show the reliability and quietness of their new car. This was a risky idea: cars of this time were notoriously unreliable, and roads of the day could be horrendous. Nevertheless, the car set off on trials, and with press aboard, broke record upon record. Even after 7,000 miles (11,000 km), the cost to service the car was a negligible £2 2s 7d (£2.13). The reputation of the 40/50, and Rolls-Royce, was established.
AX201 was sold in 1908 to a private customer who used it for his annual vacation to Italy and recovered by the company in 1948.
In 1906 the London Motor Show saw Charles Stewart Rolls displaying the Silver Ghost. This model was the beginning of a fleet of prestigious cars, including the White Knave and the Silver Rogue, that won many honours and brought status to the British motor industry.
In 1906, Rolls-Royce produced four chassis to be shown at the Olympia car show, two existing models, a four cylinder 20hp and a six cylinder 30hp, and two examples of a new car designated the 40/50 hp. The 40/50 hp was so new that the show cars were not fully finished and examples were not provided to the press for testing until March 1907.
Charles Rolls was born with a fascination for electricity, an insatiable wanderlust that was nurtured by his father and an undying love for speed and transportation – two interests most agreeably combined in the sport of hot air ballooning, to which the great man was devoted. Like all balloonists, after descending from each flight, Rolls faced the challenge of finding a way to transport himself and his balloon home again. His solution was to have his own Roadster fitted to serve as a balloon tender to carry him to and from each chosen launch site.
In 1910 Charles Rolls was killed in a flying accident. Henry Royce nearly died the following year after a breakdown. But he recovered and his engines were utilised in the front lines of the First World War, as well as powering war planes.
The Roadster at first had a new side-valve, six-cylinder, 7036 cc engine (7428 cc from 1910) with the cylinders cast in two units of three cylinders each as opposed to the triple two cylinder units on the earlier six. A three speed transmission was fitted at first with four speed units used from 1913. The seven-bearing crankshaft had full pressure lubrication and the centre main bearing was made specially large to remove vibration, essentially splitting the engine into two three cylinder units. Two spark plugs were fitted to each cylinder with, from 1921, a choice of magneto or coil ignition. The earliest cars had used a trembler coil to produce the spark with a magneto as an optional extra which soon became standard - the instruction was to start the engine on the trembler/battery and then switch to magneto. Continuous development allowed power output to be increased from 48 bhp (36 kW) at 1,250 rpm to 80 bhp (60 kW) at 2,250 rpm. Electric lighting became an option in 1914 and was standardised in 1919.

Effective 15 June 2022, Julián Fernández replaced Keld Mosgaard Christensen as Managing Director of APM Terminals Poti, Georgia and joined APM Terminals’ European Regional Leadership Team.
Julian Fernández - MD of APM Terminals PotiMr. Fernández became a member of APM Terminals Poti team in February 2020 in the role of Chief Financial Officer / Deputy MD and therefore has a detailed understanding of the terminal’s business, client base, and the stakeholder landscape.
“I am confident that the experience gained in my previous role, as a member of the APM Terminals Poti senior management team, will be of enormous benefit in driving further growth for the company,” says Mr. Fernández. “Ensuring the sustainable development of the company, empowering and leading people, engaging with stakeholders, as well as driving new investments and expansion plans in Poti, the region and beyond are high on my agenda,” he adds.
Mr. Fernández joined A.P. Moller - Maersk starting in 2001 as a graduate trainee. He holds an MSc in Economics and an MBA with a focus on Investments Appraisals and Valuation. After having worked in both Maersk and Damco in several countries in Europe and Latin America, in December 2011 he moved to APM Terminals Corporate Development, based in Panama. In this role his primary focus was identifying and securing new port and terminal investments in Latin America. From 2014, he became part of the Latin America regional leadership team heading up the Corporate Development activities throughout that region.
In his statement Igor Van Den Essen, Head of Terminals Europe, expressed his gratitude towards Keld Mosgaard Christensen, highlighting his exceptional leadership when the customer became the number one priority at APM Terminals Poti and this was reflected by the significant increase of the terminals NPS score – a measure of customer satisfaction. In addition, under his leadership, the APM Terminals Poti delivered numerous effective CSR projects, all of which are a testament to the company’s commitment to the communities it operates in.
