The material used in the construction of a building has a lot to do with how long it’s going to last. Some materials (such as, stone), as you can imagine, make sturdier structures, but have other disadvantages.
For example, wood is a very common material used in construction; but a house made primarily of wood will likely fall apart in nearly 50 years (or much faster, depending on the ambient temperature and climate). Similarly, a concrete structure would last anywhere between 50-100 years while a stone building may last more than a century.

Obsidian is a glassy-textured, extrusive igneous rock. Obsidian is natural glass - it lacks crystals, and therefore lacks minerals. Obsidian is typically black in color, but most obsidians have a felsic to intermediate chemistry. Felsic igneous rocks are generally light-colored, so a felsic obsidian seems a paradox. Mafic obsidians are scarce, but they are also black and glassy.
Obsidian is an uncommon rock, but can be examined at several famous localities in America, such as Obsidian Cliff at the Yellowstone Hotspot (northwestern Wyoming) and Big Obsidian Flow at Newberry Volcano (central Oregon).
Obsidian is moderately hard, has a conchoidal fracture (smooth and curved fracture surface), and sharp broken edges. Freshly-broken obsidian has the sharpest edges of any material known, natural or man-made (as seen under a scanning electron microscope).
Obsidian forms two ways: 1) very rapid cooling of lava, which prevents the formation of crystals; 2) cooling of high-viscosity lava, which prevents easy movement of atoms to form crystals. An example of obsidian that formed the first way is the very top portion of basaltic lava flows at Kilaeua Volcano (Hawaii Hotspot, central Pacific Ocean) [however, most geologists don't call such material "obsidian"]. The obsidian sample seen here formed by cooling of high-viscosity lava.

Lodhie Foundation sets up Basketball at Chhor Boys High School in Umerkot District of Sindh Province in Pakistan on Jan29, 2014
The Basketball system was built, installed and game initiated by the fine team of Shaantech KEPZ Karachi in collaboration with students, teachers, staff of the Chhor Boys school. This team game initiative is part of our poverty alleviation and human development work being introduced in many unprivilaged rural areas and villages of Sindh as a start.
Team sports are equally as important as education in developing world class citizens.
Why I picked Basketball Halfcourt to Sindh villages and now schools. 1) All ages have fun playing it 2) Can be set up in any small area of village, home, school or factory 3) Very low cost set up and material 4) Very easy to learn to play 5) Teaches teamwork to win 6) Teaches you to stay focused, be unselfish 7) Gives very healthy exercise 8) Length of game only 1 hour or less 9) Encourages and allows participation of family, friends, teachers
Andrew Dickson White Library
Andrew Dickson White, Cornell University’s co-founder and first president, built a great library. Although seldom identified today as one of the foremost collectors of the 19th century, his achievements have left a remarkable legacy. Unlike other famous book collectors of his time—J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry Edwards Huntington, John Jacob Astor, and James Lenox—he did not establish a separate institution to house his personal collections of books and manuscripts. Instead, White donated his entire collection of 30,000 books to the Cornell University Library—at a time when the Library possessed a collection of just 90,000 volumes. White’s great generosity reveals his utilitarian approach to collecting and, in his words, a “strong belief in the didactic value of books.” As an educator and historian he believed that one could not have a great university without a great library, and he wanted his books to be read and used by Cornell’s faculty and students.
White’s collections of materials on architecture, witchcraft, the Reformation, the French Revolution, Abolitionism and the Civil War were among the finest in the world during his lifetime. Originally shelved in the large, three-story room within Uris Library that bears his name, White’s collections are no longer kept together in one place. Many of his books were moved to the stacks in Olin Library when it opened in 1961. In recent years, most of White’s books have been transferred to the Division of Rare & Manuscript Collections for their continued protection and preservation. Today, the Andrew Dickson White Library holds a portion of the humanities and social science collections found in the combined Olin and Uris Libraries.
It is perhaps more fitting and accurate to say that Andrew Dickson White built two great libraries. The first was his large and significant personal book collection. The second was the Cornell University Library. White hired Willard Fiske to be Cornell’s first University Librarian, and he worked closely with him to develop innovative and progressive policies for their library. White purchased its first books, and played an active role throughout his life in developing the library’s collections.
Even in his student days, White had considered the merits of the most prestigious European libraries, imagining what it would be like to build an important new research library. White conceived and developed his vision for an upstate New York university during a miserable first year at college. White’s visions of a beautiful university were honed during his first year at a college whose architecture he called “sordid,” and later at Yale, where he urged classmates to “adorn and beautify the place.” While his classmates occupied themselves with shenanigans, the sixteen-year-old consoled himself in the library, where he found a book on the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. As a University of Michigan professor in the late 1850s, he planted elms and evergreens with the help of his students and was appointed superintendent of grounds. Two decades later he would preside over an institution that embodied the vision of his youth. The faculty included professors of modern history and literature, as well as classics and mathematics. They were free of control by religious sects and political parties. And learning was accomplished not by rote memorization and recitation, but through analysis, discussion, and experience. The Victorian beauty of the A. D. White Reading Room in Uris Library would probably have satisfied White’s exacting standards.
A trace of this inspiration can be found in the stained-glass windows that line the room. They portray the crests of several Oxford and Cambridge colleges. In the north windows, for instance, the blue escutcheon contains the motto for Oxford University, “Dominus Illuminatio Mea.” Translated from Psalm 27, it means, “The Lord is my Light.” Visitors from a new generation find the room’s ambiance comes from another source, calling it the “Harry Potter” library.
When White offered his personal library to the university, he set two conditions. He asked that the university provide a suitable space to house his collection—he stipulated a fire-proof room—and he requested that proper provision be made for the ongoing maintenance of his collections. That “suitable space” is the Andrew Dickson White Library. White played an active role in helping the building’s architect, William Henry Miller, design and ornament this space.
The maintenance and cataloging of the collection became the responsibility of George Lincoln Burr, a member of the Cornell class of 1871. Burr was White’s secretary and personal librarian as well as the first curator of the White Historical Library. Originally hired by White when he was a Cornell sophomore, Burr worked closely with White to develop and care for his library. We can safely posit that after 1879, the White collection must be seen as a collaborative effort between the two scholars. Each traveled to Europe on extended book-buying tours. Burr, also a renowned professor in the Cornell History department, is given special credit for building and enriching the Library’s collections on the Reformation and witchcraft.
Burr’s portrait by Cornell art professor Christian Midjo is prominently displayed on the north wall of the room, and a small drawing by R. H. Bainton on the first tier shows Burr as Cornell historian Carl Becker once described him: an “indefatigable scholar and bibliophile . . . browsing and brooding in the stacks.”
The Andrew Dickson White Library is filled with art work, furniture, and artifacts from White’s academic and diplomatic careers. He served as U.S. minister to Germany while still president of Cornell, and later also served as minister to Russia. Several pictures and photographs in the room depict Russian scenes. The artwork and the case of plaster casts of European coins and medallions were all collected by Mr. White.
Originally, this space had skylights and an open archway into the adjacent Dean Room (where the Burr portrait now hangs). Those features were lost to renovations, but the original three tiers of wrought-iron stacks still offer an open and dramatic display of their books. Upon first seeing these shelves filled with White’s books in September of 1891, George Lincoln Burr wrote that it “gave one such an idea of a multitude of books. You see and feel them all. They quite overawe one.” Setting the objective for the collection, he promised to make the White Library, in his words, “the great living, growing historical workshop of the University.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seven metres at 13:15pm on Tuesday 10th October 2023 off the Mall and Horse Guards Road within the grounds of St James's Park in Central London, one of the Royal parks of London situated in South West London.
This is a pair of Great White Pelicans (Pelecanus Onocrotalus), of which there are six beautiful individuals now residing in St James's Park. Weighing in at roughly 11kgs, they have wingspans of up to three metres and a six foot body length. They are also known as the Eastern white pelican, Rosy Pelican or White Pelican and are found mostly in Southeastern Europe, Asia and the African swamps and lakes.
First introduced to St James's Park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador, over 40 pelicans have since made the park home.

I had so much fun doing some improv piecing the other day that I thought I'd continue on a bit. Especially since it's about the only sewing I've felt like doing in a bit. Probably something to do with the imprecise nature and the fact that it can be done in tiny spurts and doesn't require pulling out of and cutting of yardage. Or much concentration. And I always love using up scraps. Now I have mountains of scrap everywhere. Being turned into little kites for an eventual Maple Leaf Rag.

CLC tackled the property’s environmental issues by spending more than $1 million removing the hazardous materials. Buildings which were not salvageable were demolished, while those that could be rehabilitated were renovated and retrofitted to provide modern amenities while retaining their unique design. Tonnes of asphalt, gravel and concrete were recycled and reused in the construction of roadbeds, and plans call for an extensive network of parks, trails and four stormwater lakes to provide recreational opportunities for residents.
CLC has also paid tribute to the property’s military heritage. Streets and parks have been named after famous local military heroes and battles in which local military units participated. As well, statues have been erected to commemorate the former base’s namesake, Major-General William Griesbach and his wife, Janet.
When the project is completed, as many as 13,000 people will be living and working at the Village at Griesbach – a testament to CLC’s outstanding track record in supporting sustainable development.
A section of the Village at Griesbach is the recipient of a Stage 2 LEED ND (neighbourhood development) Gold certification. Village at Griesbach is the first project in Edmonton to receive this prestigious international designation.

La SIC a résolu les problèmes environnementaux du site en consacrant plus d’un million de dollars à l’enlèvement de matériaux dangereux. On a démoli les édifices qui ne pouvaient pas être rénovés et rénové les autres, en les équipant de services modernes tout en conservant leur originalité. Des tonnes d’asphalte, de gravier et de béton ont été recyclées et réutilisées dans la construction de nouvelles rues, et les plans prévoient un grand réseau de parcs et de sentiers, de même que quatre bassins de rétention des eaux de pluie, qui offriront des sites de détente aux résidents.
La SIC a aussi rendu hommage au passé militaire du site, en nommant les rues et les parcs en l’honneur des héros militaires locaux et de grandes batailles auxquelles les unités militaires locales ont participé. De plus, des statues ont été érigées pour commémorer le Major-Général William Griesbach et son épouse, Janet.
À l’achèvement du projet, près de 13 000 personnes habiteront et travailleront au Village at Griesbach – ce qui démontre l’expérience exceptionnelle de la SIC dans la réalisation de projets durables.
Village at Griesbach a obtenu la nouvelle certification environnementale LEED ND d’or (2e étape) pour un aménagement de quartier. Il s’agit du premier projet à Edmonton qui obtient une désignation internationale aussi prestigieuse.
The origin of the Café Prückel lies in the time when the Ring Road was created. At the former Stubentor (gate), a particularly splendid Gründerzeit building was built on the ground floor of which the former European cycling champion Lurion founded a café of the same name, Café Lurion. The huge eatery was Makart-style (in reference to artist Hans Markart) equipped with precious materials, rich stucco decoration and other decorative elements. The café had special features such as technical novelties and attracted a wide audience.
From 1905 the coffee house was already called Prückel, presumably it had been taken over by the café owner Wenzel Prückel (1838-1917), the first operator of Café Central. After World War II, the magnificent features in the front part were unfortunately removed and refurbished in the style of the 50s. A loss on the one hand, an attractive feature on the other hand, because to this day all tables, chairs, lamps and benches are original and unchanged. Weather permitting, the Café Prückel offers a large Schanigarten (Schanigarten: "Schanigarten" is the Austro-Bavarian term for tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk in front of eating and drinking places, Linguee) with probably one of the oldest sun blinds in Vienna. The very popular and always well-attended eatery offers an excellent menu and is known for its excellent pastries.
The Prückel is a place where people like to linger and watch people. The audience ranges from older people to young and young at heart ones, students, members of the alternative scene, literary figures, intellectuals to the "nerd". The service is fast and friendly. Absolutely must be tasted: poppy seed cake.
Criticism of the Prückel: Negative headlines made the Prückel as in spring 2005 two lesbian women were expelled from the local because they kissed. This rightly caused media outrage and protests. In January 2015, another incident of this kind occurred, to be read here. The opinion of Planet-Vienna is that one has to wonder a little bit about how something like this can still happen in the enlightened western world in the 21st century. From the previous recommendation for the Café Prückel Planet Vienna meanwhile is refraining. Old-fashioned coffee house tradition in honor - but where it smells of homophobia and oppression, one should not go.
Der Ursprung des Café Prückel liegt in der Zeit, als die Ringstrasse angelegt wurde. Beim ehemaligen Stubentor entstand ein besonders prachtvoller Gründerzeitbau, in dessen Parterre der damalige Radrenneuropameister Lurion ein gleichnamiges Kaffeehaus gründete, das Café Lurion. Das riesige Lokal war im Makart-Stil ausgestattet mit wertvollen Materialien, reicher Stuckdekoration und anderen Zierelementen. Das Café wartete mit Besonderheiten wie technischen Neuheiten auf und lockte daher ein breites Publikum an.
Ab 1905 hiess das Kaffeehaus bereits Prückel, vermutlich war es vom Cafétier Wenzel Prückel (1838-1917), dem ersten Betreiber des Café Central, übernommen worden. Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die prachtvolle Ausstattung im vorderen Teil leider entfernt und im Stil der 50er Jahre neu eingerichtet. Ein Verlust einerseits, eine attraktive Besonderheit andererseits, denn bis zum heutigen Tag sind alle Tische, Stühle, Lampen und Bänke original und unverändert. Bei schönem Wetter wartet das Café Prückel mit einem grossen Schanigarten auf mit wohl einer der ältesten Sonnenstoren Wiens. Das sehr beliebte und stets überaus gut besuchte Lokal bietet eine hervorragende Speisekarte und ist bekannt für seine ausgezeichneten Mehlspeisen.
Das Prückel ist ein Ort, an dem man gerne verweilt und Menschen beobachten kann. Das Publikum reicht von älteren Leuten über junge und jung gebliebene, Studenten, Alternative, Literaten, Intellektuelle bis hin zum "Sonderling". Der Service ist flott und freundlich. Unbedingt kosten: Mohnkuchen.
Kritik am Prückel: Negative Schlagzeilen hat das Prückel gemacht, als im Frühjahr 2005 zwei lesbische Frauen des Lokales verwiesen wurden, weil sie sich geküsst haben. Das sorgte zurecht für mediale Empörung und Protesten. Im Jänner 2015 kam es zu einem neuerlichen Vorfall dieser Art, nachzulesen hier. Die Meinung von Planet-Vienna ist, dass man sich schon etwas wundern muss, wie sowas im 21. Jahrhundert in der aufgeklärten westlichen Welt noch vorkommen kann. Von der bisherigen Empfehlung fürs Café Prückel sieht Planet-Vienna mittlerweile ab. Althergebrachte Kaffeehaus-Tradition in Ehren - aber wo es nach Homofeindlichkeit und Unterdrückung riecht, sollte man nicht hingehen.
