SET 2 – HLT Remodel: 4-20-2023
Some things don’t change: at the back of the music, movies, and books “department” is the store’s selection of licensed pop culture products, just like before. Of course, the only difference is that now it’s located along the rear wall of the store, and is way more condensed than it was over in the front left corner, where it had ample room to space out. In all honesty, I’m not certain that the selection was cut very much if at all, so I’ll give Target some props there; however – and this is the unfortunate part – sticking the same (or similar) amount of stuff in a much smaller space makes it (from a practicality standpoint) harder to browse, and (from a presentation standpoint) much more crowded, and cluttered/junky, to look at (especially when stuff isn’t put back in its proper place – which becomes quite common when something is harder to browse and harder to keep neat as a result!)

Located at number 4. Murray Street, Colac's former post office is in a prime location at the gateway into the historical centre of the town.
Built in 1876 by the Public Works Department, it was extended in 1888 to reflect the Victorian Free Classical building that is seen today. It features a classical colonnade entrance, windows with attenuated vertical proportions, aedicules using prominent pillar detailing and a classically inspired clock over the entranceway.
The building has seen many changes over the years, as has its usage. The Colac telephone exchange commenced on the premises in 1904 with twenty-five subscribers.
Times have changed in Twentieth Century Colac, and the post office with a capacious dwelling for the postmaster became too large for the practicalities of the modern day business that Australia Post is, and they relocated to smaller, more modern and more central promises. Now the former Colac post office has found new life as a Chinese restaurant. However, because it is protected by the National Heritage Committee, no exterior advertising is permitted to be attached to the classical facade, which is why there are discreet signs in the upper floor windows and dainty Chinese lanterns hanging from the colonnade's arches. At night the clock, which still keeps good time, is illuminated by a violet coloured neon light that encircles the face.
Located approximately 150 kilometres to the south-west of Melbourne, past Geelong is the small Western District city of Colac. The area was originally settled by Europeans in 1837 by pastoralist Hugh Murray. A small community sprung up on the southern shore of a large lake amid the volcanic plains. The community was proclaimed a town, Lake Colac, in 1848, named after the lake upon which it perches. The post office opened in 1848 as Lake Colac and was renamed Colac in 1854 when the city changed its name. The township grew over the years, its wealth generated by the booming grazing industries of the large estates of the Western District and the dairy industry that accompanied it. Colac has a long high street shopping precinct, several churches, botanic gardens, a Masonic hall and a smattering of large properties within its boundaries, showing the conspicuous wealth of the city. Today Colac is still a commercial centre for the agricultural district that surrounds it with a population of around 10,000 people. Although not strictly a tourist town, Colac has many beautiful surviving historical buildings or interest, tree lined streets. Colac is known as “the Gateway to the Otways” (a reference to the Otway Ranges and surrounding forest area that is located just to the south of the town).
310 Claydon Way is located in one of the finer neighborhoods of Sacramento. Having the advantage of being almost riverside, access to the American River Parkway and bicycle path is just one block from the home, providing lovely walks through incredible natural scenery and wildlife.
Year round, this beautiful neighborhood known as Wilhaggin, shows off its aesthetic pride with floral blossoms and blooms. Unlike other fine neighborhoods in the Sacramento area, Wilhaggin is mostly composed of sprawling single story dwellings. with wide streets, sidewalks and street lights.
The "ambiance" of this kind of neighborhood intention is palpable -- quietude, modest elegance, comfortable curb appeal, an abundance of mature and establish landscaping and shade trees.
Back when these houses were made in the sixties -- before magazine living lifestyle took over and replaced practicality with the discomforts of looking sharp -- strong bones and durability were time-honored architectural concepts. Pleasing oneself was more important than pleasing the neighbors, so the focus of the aesthetic addressed things like "hot summers", "colder winters" and the need for shade and light.
There were many independent builders at that time who became famous for their designs and also for their creative concepts for creating ideal settings for a river-living climate.
Among those that rose to fame, Lewis & Bristow are known for their comfortable living designs that centered around poolside appreciation. Shaped like a "U", 310 Claydon Way has three giant sliders that open up onto a giant back yard patio. The patio has roll-down awnings for late afternoon sun shade but also lends itself to an outside office or enclosed dinner-time eating.
The automated irrigation system has just been completely restored and upgraded. Other changes that have been done recently include brand new carpet, new paint and a remodeled entry way.
The grounds are fully established and mature. There are an abundance of roses and azaleas which bloom seasonally. The redwood trees on the property and surrounding the property in the backyard are invaluable for shade and beauty.
And 310 Claydon Way is loaded with all manner of little details of this nature which make it easy to maintain with a minimal amount of work. A truly beautiful home with over 3100 square feet, 310 Claydon way has been called "Shangri La" and has particularly great appeal to a buyer who loves outdoor living as much as indoor living.

Choir and Organ Loft:
Pew
Originally, Christians stood for worship, and that is still the case in many eastern churches. The pew, a long, backed bench upon which congregants sit, was an innovation of western medieval Christianity. Pews were inherited by Protestants from the Roman Catholic Church, and because of their practicality, have spread to some Orthodox churches located in the west.
In 1887, following a much publicized period of discernment and debate concerning moving the congregation away from Shelton Square, Mrs. Trueman G. Avery, a faithful member of the congregation who lived at the site now occupied by Kleinhans Music Hall, donated a parcel of land across the circle at the corner of Wadsworth and Pennsylvania Streets in memory of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen G. Austin. Thus begins the story of the present edifice, designed by the renowned architectural firm of Green & Wicks. Following a well published design competition the winning design by the architectural firm of Edward Brodhead Green & William Sidney Wicks stood out from the other three finalists, it was noted for its Romanesque exterior, Byzantine-revival styled sanctuary and tall central tower that would dominate the skyline of late 19th century Buffalo through the present day.
Ground breaking took place and the first services were held in the newly built chapel on September 11, 1889, then on December 13, 1891 the first services were held in the newly constructed sanctuary. However the new building was not dedicated until after the completion of the tower on May 16, 1897

Can technology help prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income countries? Increasingly, cell phones, cameras, crowd-sourcing, and mobile apps are being used in innovative ways to address GBV, but questions surrounding ethics, effectiveness, and practicality remain. The Interagency Gender Working Group, U. S. Agency for International Development, Woodrow Wilson Center, CARE, and Population Reference Bureau will host a panel discussion exploring the ethics around new technologies to combat GBV; how effective they are; and what some of the more practical and actionable ways forward might be.

Tutor's Comments: This is a very good window treatment - simple but stylish! The fabrics for your window treatments are contemporary in colour, style and finish. By adding a pelmet and contrasting bottom border, you meet the brief of "classic contemporary". The contrasting edge at the bottom of the curtain in the deeper green adds colour and interest to this treatment. Your rendered sketch is very good and you have rendered the light and shade well.
Including the blinds in the treatment is a good decision on your part. The brief states that the windows face west, so in the late afternoon it will be very bright in the room. The blinds will soften the sunlight coming in and prevent fabrics from fading, although this heavy white silk may not be the best colour in terms of practicality. The sheer woven fabric no.4 is a good choice, but perhaps it would have been better in this treatment as a sheer panel, positioned in front of the doors, rather than gathered curtains under the main curtains. In this treatment, it appears your intention is to have them pulled back so thay are just seen under the main curtain. This means they will be gathered, so we won't see the lovely woven pattern. As sheer panels they would sit flat in front of the French doors, diffusing the light and casting interesting shadows on the floor.

Copyright © Kevin Cooper Photoline NUJ: Seamus McKee (BBC Radio Ulster) opened the conference and give context to the debate as chairperson of Business Rates Conference 2016 which took place on Tuesday, 12 January 2016 in Riddel Hall at Queen's University Belfast. Speakers included: Richard Johnston - Associate Director, NI Centre for Economic Policy, UU; David Sterling - Permanent Secretary, Department of Finance & Personnel; Stephen Kelly, Chief Executive, Manufacturing NI; Aodhán Connolly, Director, NI Retail Consortium, Seamus McAleavey â Chief Executive, NICVA, Derek McCallan â Chief Executive, NILGA, Followed by a panel discussion with David Sterling â DFP, Stephen Kelly â Manufacturing NI, Aodhán Connolly â NI Retail Consortium, Seamus McAleavey â NICVA, Derek McCallan â NILGA. After a short break the discussion continued with A system that it is fit for purpose: the practicalities involved: Brian McClure â Head of Rating Policy Division, Department of Finance & Personnel, Funding local services: a new system for securing businesses contributions: Martin McTague â Chairman, Local Government Committee, Federation of Small Businesses, Getting it right: the UK and international perspective:
David Magor OBE - Chief Executive, Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation. Finishing the final panel discussion was with: Brian McClure â Department of Finance & Personnel, Martin McTague â FSB and David Magor â IRRV. Seamus McKee, Chairperson of the conference made some concluding remarks before breaking for lunch. Business Rates Conference 2016, which was part of the Chambré Public Affairs âEye on the Hillâ series of policy events, provided participants with a unique insight into an important programme of reform. The conference offered context and analysis from the Minister, senior officials, sector leaders and noted experts, the conference is perfectly timed to inform responses to the consultation, which closes a fortnight later. On 26 October 2015, Finance Minister Arlene Foster launched a public consultation on a wide-ranging Review of Northern Ireland's Non-Domestic Rating System. The consultation asks questions that touch upon every sector in Northern Ireland, giving respondents the chance to provide imaginative suggestions to improve how revenue is raised locally. Key questions include whether the 100% exemption for charities should be maintained, and how the system could be changed to better suit the demands of local business. Because of the Departmentâs willingness to engage creatively with the business community and other stakeholders, this consultation represents a rare opportunity to influence major change. Business rating is a vital form of taxation, raising some £592m of revenue for regional and local Government in Northern Ireland. However, it is also a significant expense for the businesses that are the lifeblood of the local economy, and can act as a particular disincentive to smaller enterprises who want to invest and expand. At the other end of the spectrum, charities in Northern Ireland benefit significantly from the current rating system, enjoying a 100% rates exemption.
The familiar octagonal Colgate clock, facing Manhattan, dates back to 1924 and is a reminder of the time when factories dominated the city's waterfront. Its design was inspired by Colgate's Octagon Soap. The surface of the clock is 1,963.5 square feet and 50 feet in diameter. The minute hand is 25 feet, 10 inches long; the hour hand is 20 feet long. The timepiece can be adjusted and is maintained to stay within one minute of accurate time. There was a small master clock in the Colgate building that was checked against the US Naval Observatory in Washington, DC The clock's mechanism is like that of a traditional wall clock with weights and wheels but is powered by twenty-eight large-volt batteries that are recharged.
The octagonal clock replaced an earlier smaller clock designed by Colgate engineer Warren Day and built by the Seth Thomas Company for the centennial of the Colgate Company in 1906. The clock, thirty-eight feet in diameter, was made of structural steel and its face of stainless steel slats. It was part of a sign set on the roof of an eight-story warehouse at the southeast corner of York and Hudson Streets also built for the anniversary. Engineer William P. Field designed the sign reading "COLGATE'S SOAPS AND PERFUMES" in 20-foot-high letters. The 200-foot-long, 40-foot-high sign was illuminated at night by 1,607 bulbs and was visible from 20 miles away from the Jersey City waterfront to Staten Island and the Bronx. It received acclaim as an identifying symbol of the company along with its practicality. When removed for the new clock, it was retired to Jeffersonville, Indiana.
The Colgate's Soap and Perfumery Works, later Colgate-Palmolive Peet, was founded by William Colgate in New York in 1806. When he moved his company to Paulus Hook (Jersey City) from New York, it was referred to as "Colgate's Folly." The Colgate-Palmolvie factory complex was completed in 1847; it made chemically produced soap and perfume but eventually gave up perfume production. The Colgate-Palmolive Company became a very successful and modern plant for its time and expanded over a six-block site by the 1950s.
With the clock overlooking the Hudson River, the Colgate structure and signage had become a Jersey City landmark. The signage was altered in 1983. A toothpaste tube, noting one of Colgate's best selling products, replaced the lettering for soap and perfume.
In 1985, Colgate decided to leave Jersey City, and the complex, excepting the clock, was razed. The site is part of the redevelopment of the Jersey City waterfront. The clock remains on a soon-to-be developed lot awaiting a decision whether it will be made a part of the frontage of a new building or replaced by a new clock as part of new building on the lot. Time will tell!
Yesterday at Voles
"The Voles started appearing in dribs and drabs.
1st Vole: That’s a nice Drab you’ve got there.
2nd Vole: Thanks, my old Drib was getting a bit drab so I thought I’d change it for a Drab.
1st Vole: Is that the one that at the mere push of the off-road button, it turns into a highly capable off-road vehicle, adept at climbing slippery slopes, descending steep hills and maintaining control on difficult terrain using the very latest 4x4 systems. Does the interior meet even the most exacting of standards, the cabin spacious, airy and flexible and containing a variety of standard features and does it take safety very seriously too, so all the trims have driver and passenger, front, side and curtain airbags as standard.
2nd Vole: I don’t know, but it’s silver.
1st Vole: Oh.
Just then Mr T. Strode into their midst.
3rd Vole: Hey, watch my midst. You’re striding right into it!
Mr T.: Right, listen up. You all remember what you did when we were last here.
1st Vole: It wasn’t me, I wasn’t here.
2nd Vole: She told me to do it, honest.
3rd Vole: I didn’t do it and even if I did, you can’t prove it ‘cause I burnt the evidence.
4th Vole: I’m clinically insane, no court in the land will convict me.
The remaining Voles looked sheepish. It was the thick Arran sweaters that did it.
Mr T.: I mean planting the trees in straight rows, two point five metres apart. However so that it doesn’t look like you’ve planted them in straight rows, two point five metres apart, you shall only plant them in straight rows in one direction and not the other. So where the canes have been put in straight lines, two point five metres apart, it will be your job to follow on behind planting the trees in a straight line in one direction but not the other and more than or less than two point five metres apart. Remember?
The Voles remembered and several fainted, two had the recurrence of their nose bleeds and three again escaped across the fields. [Note to self; must replace the razor wire with electric fencing].
Mr T.: Anyway so that we can plant another 900 this week I want you to get into four groups of three. One making holes, one planting and one putting the guards on.
1st Vole: What do the other nine do?
Mr T.: What other nine?
1st Vole: Well if three are doing what you said that leaves nine watching.
Mr T. Speaking slowly: No, I want four group of three and in each group one will make holes, one will plant and one will put guards on.
2nd Vole: So the lines are already there?
Mr T. Speaking slowly and quietly: No, one group will measure out leaving three groups to do the planting, except that I’m going to do some pruning so the other two can help the other groups.
3rd Vole: So two groups will be four?
Mr. T. Speaking very slowly and quietly: Yes.
4th Vole: So there will be one group of three measuring the lines, two groups of four doing the work of three, one group of three and one pruning?
Mr. T. Speaking very slowly and very quietly: Yes.
5th Vole: What happens when Maryla comes?
Mr. T. Speaking very slowly, very quietly and sobbing: We can have another group of three with Maryla and the two who were in the two groups of four.
6th Vole: What happens when Ros comes?
Mr. T. Speaking very slowly, very quietly, sobbing and pulling out chunks of hair: I’ll sort it out later.
1st Vole to 2nd Vole as they wander off in the general direction of where they are going: Typical management, never think things through. Anyway this Drab of yours, it seems to me it strikes the perfect balance between on road performance, family orientated practicality and rugged 4x4 styling and with a choice of two or four wheel drive systems on both diesel and petrol engines, as well as flexible varioflex rear seating, sizable boot space and higher ride height as standard, it is perfect for life in towns and cities.
2nd Vole: I like the colour.
Later that same day:
Mr T.: Okay then, I think we’re all happy now?
Voles: Oh no we’re not
Mr T.: Oh yes we are.
Voles: Oh no, we’re not.
Mr T.: I see, it’s the pantomime season is it?
Voles: Oh no it isn’t.
Mr T.: Oh yes it is.
Voles: Behind youuuuuuu.
Mr T.: I’m not falling for that.
Even later that same day:
3rd Vole to 4th Vole: Who’s going to tell him Jock peed up his leg?
Thanks to:- The Venerable Buxton for the gallons of tea and the hot pot, Lady Buxton for the Badger pudding, [no badger was culled in the making or eating of this pudding], and everyone who worked so manfully and womanfully throughout the day.
Malcolm"

The Citroën Revolte is a hybrid compact city concept car that was presented by Citroën at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Revolte is based on the historical Citroën 2CV.[2] The concept car shows the changes that have been happening in terms of the role small cars and that style and elegance have become as important as economy and practicality.
The Revolte concept features Citroën’s bold design, which has become part of its history bringing a new contemporary approach to its compact city cars.
The Revolte is 3.68m long, 1.73m wide and 1.35m tall. With well defined wheel arches, curving bonnet, forceful lines and sculpted sides, matching the roof line, the Revolte has a sleek and elegant profile, similar to that of the Citroen Survolt, a concept hybrid supercar still under development by Citroen.

Dr. Michael Bröning has presented his book and moderated the discussion, The Politics of Change in Palestine: State-Building and Non-Violent Resistance.
“The Politics of Change in Palestine” discusses these changes. The book contradicts the prevalent myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision-makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. The book highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These include the re-invention of Hamas, reforms within the Fatah movement, state-building efforts of the Palestinian Authority and the surge of non-violent resistance.

Seamus McKee, Chairperson of the conference made some concluding remarks before breaking for lunch. Business Rates Conference 2016, which was part of the Chambré Public Affairs âEye on the Hillâ series of policy events, provided participants with a unique insight into an important programme of reform. The conference offered context and analysis from the Minister, senior officials, sector leaders and noted experts, the conference is perfectly timed to inform responses to the consultation, which closes a fortnight later. On 26 October 2015, Finance Minister Arlene Foster launched a public consultation on a wide-ranging Review of Northern Ireland's Non-Domestic Rating System. The consultation asks questions that touch upon every sector in Northern Ireland, giving respondents the chance to provide imaginative suggestions to improve how revenue is raised locally. Key questions include whether the 100% exemption for charities should be maintained, and how the system could be changed to better suit the demands of local business. Because of the Departmentâs willingness to engage creatively with the business community and other stakeholders, this consultation represents a rare opportunity to influence major change. Business rating is a vital form of taxation, raising some £592m of revenue for regional and local Government in Northern Ireland. However, it is also a significant expense for the businesses that are the lifeblood of the local economy, and can act as a particular disincentive to smaller enterprises who want to invest and expand. At the other end of the spectrum, charities in Northern Ireland benefit significantly from the current rating system, enjoying a 100% rates exemption.

For about the price of an average
European car these days, your money
will buy a vehicle which will do its job
with competence, if not conviction.
Yet, for around the same amount,
you can drive a car thats well above
average.
At any price,
a Saab is an intelligent car.
At $17,000, it's genius.
As a case in point, the Saab 900, at
about $17,000, is powered by the same
16-valve, fuel-injected engine that’s
found in the Saab 900 Turbo, less the
turbo. It is stopped by four-wheel dise
brake and guided by power-assisted,
rack-and-pinion steering
The least expensive Saab you can
buy comes with air conditioning, heated,
reclining front seats and a removable
Clarion sound system with electric
antenna, All of which help make the
900 a very enjoyable place in which to,
have above-average driving fun,
And, while you're having fun in a
Saab 900, it’s gratifying to know it features
the kind of practicality that’s standard in
‘every Saab; room for full-grown adults and
their cargo, safe, roll-cage construction,
outstanding ergonomics and the all-
‘weather security of front-wheel drive.
A visit to your Saab dealer and a
test drive will convince you that you
don’t need above-average resources to
drive a car that has everything you want.
Above-average intelligence will
do nicely,
SAAB
The most intelligent cars ever built.

I selected Collen Atwood as I have been In love with her designs in such productions as Sweeny Todd, Alice in Wonderland and Fantastic beasts. But it was her Work on the CW's superhero shows "The Flash", "Arrow", "Super girl" And "Batwoman" that made a huge impact on this project. She utilises leather in a way that creates form and allows practicality within movement, and her varied textures with softer fabrics in areas that require joint movement, made me think of fabrics in relation to movement, aerodynamics of fabrics and most importantly, how to utilise a stylistic manipulation of fabrics to convey anatomical structure.
I looked into designs by Rick Owens. His designs are mostly comprised of leathers that take on the stereotypical biker look, but manipulated in a way that produces, unique, asymmetric designs. The way the structures utilises negative space and textural separation with both pleated and ribbed areas, draws towards structurally sound compositions with a natural undertone, as if his designs could be used to not only make an impact on the high street but also wouldn't be out of place as protective ware.
These two designers contributed in creating the style of the character. Taking most my inspiration from Colleen Atwood by interrogating a superhero look with the harsher materials and shades from Rick Owens. Reflecting the look of the early two thousands designs for the X-men by predominantly having a leather look, drawing parallels to "biker suits" as a contrast to Puck. Wear the character is more natural with there design while this style suggests a manufactured look, creating the idea of a manipulation or a hybrid look to the design.

Dr. Michael Bröning has presented his book and moderated the discussion, The Politics of Change in Palestine: State-Building and Non-Violent Resistance.
“The Politics of Change in Palestine” discusses these changes. The book contradicts the prevalent myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision-makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. The book highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These include the re-invention of Hamas, reforms within the Fatah movement, state-building efforts of the Palestinian Authority and the surge of non-violent resistance.

"The Zerouno project, developed by Italdesign Automobili Speciali, is a prime example of the division's focus on limited edition vehicles for collectors and visionary enthusiasts. With only five units produced, Zerouno blends race car performance with road-legal practicality, featuring lightweight materials and a powerful V10 engine. Designed for ultimate customization, it offers unparalleled driving experience." - Italdesign Automobili Speciali.
The sensation of the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, Italdesign's Zerouno 'concept car' still looks futuristic today. One of the most influential carrozzeria of recent decades, although the company is far more than a mere coachbuilder, Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign had made its name designing volume-selling production cars such as the Volkswagen Golf and Sirocco, Citroën BX and Lancia Delta. Giugiaro had founded Italdesign in 1968 in partnership with ex-FIAT design engineer, Aldo Mantovani, and remained at the helm until Volkswagen took control in 2010. In 2015 he left to set up the GFG Style design studio in Turin with his son, Fabrizio Giugiaro, where he works to this day.
Italdesign's formidable reputation had been funded on its work for mainstream manufacturers, which makes the Zerouno historically significant as the first supercar to be launched under the company's own brand: Italdesign Automobili Speciali. Designed by Italdesign's Filippo Perini, the Zerouno is an ultra-limited-production supercar powered by the 5.2-litre Audi Sport V10 engine found in the Lamborghini Huracán and Audi R8 Plus. According to Perini, the brief "was to design a car not overlapping with anybody else's, with a look that was sexy and mean."
The Zerouno features an aggressive-looking carbon-fibre body and a modular carbon-fibre and aluminium chassis. The mid-mounted, naturally aspirated V10 engine produced 602bhp and 413lb/ft of torque, outputs good enough for a top speed of 205mph (330km/h) and a 0-60mph (0-100km/h) acceleration time of 3.2 seconds. Power reached the ground via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and Audi quattro all-wheel drive transmission.
Autocar magazine got to test a Zerouno in November 2018: "It's eruptively fast, of course, dramatically noisy, unhesitatingly responsive and rich with physical communication. It also feels terrifically well developed – its handling, grip, drivability and aura of rigidity confirming the results of extensive testing that included the necessary homologation with the super-strict German TUV."
As is the case with the current generation of super/hypercars, their outward appearance is largely determined by the need to generate enormous downforce. In the Zerouno's case this is achieved by means of a double-decker venturi system at the rear, plus sill extensions and ventilation slats in the wing tops, exhausting air from the brakes, while at the front there is a titanium diffuser, carbon sill extensions, and a Y-shaped duct channelling air from under the bonnet.
According to Autocar: "You can feel the results on the road too, the car feeling wonderfully secure at speed, and not without delicacy either. This manifests itself in the ride, which while firm remains supple enough to provide satisfying feedback over rougher roads, and ensures decent comfort too... the result is a whole heap of addictive entertainment."
Only five Zerouno coupés and five Zerouno Duerta roadsters were produced. Despite them being priced at €1.5 million +taxes each at launch, Italdesign had no trouble in selling every last one.
This pristine example of one of the most exclusive automobiles ever made has covered a mere 1,238 kilometres from new and is presented effectively in 'as new' condition. Belgian registered, it represents a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a car more exclusive than almost any Ferrari and more attention grabbing than a Bugatti Veyron.

Concept///Percept
The project of Capolat has explored the site from its essence. The project reflects the concept of “lightness” from the book of Italo Calvino, “Six Memos for the next Millennium”. It is also based on the idea of morphology and symbiosis that encloses the factor of time. So Lightness and Time could entitle the mesh to express the paradox between the heaviness of the site with its light effect and the temporality of its structure.
The conditions of the site determine different areas with several characteristics like shade, sun, open, space, close spaces, wind, and acoustics. The natural elements are already set structures and become part of the usable space.
Using old traditional anchorage to fix the net, it provides for all users the practicalities to place it and dismantle it but the most important of that all is that it provides flexibility of space so people can put it in the place they desire.
The mesh is plastic net originally for gardening and cropping and is being recycled in this site to be used in a productive manner providing shelter, furniture, but also putting on the rocks for gardening, and platform for photovoltaic panels.
Capolat mesh is a productive mesh for sleeping, dining and relaxing all along the natural site.

From Road and Travel (http://www.roadandtravel.com/roadtests/firstimpressions/2007/jeep-wrangler.htm) -
There is no graceful way to climb up and into a Jeep Wrangler. The angles are awkward, the height is high and the interior is anything but plush and comfortable. This, I realized, as I hiked myself up and behind the vehicle’s steering wheel around five o'clock on a Friday afternoon, incidentally dressed in a rather restricting skirt.
My first thought: This is not my type of vehicle. Yes, I look for function and practicality in a vehicle – and the Wrangler Sahara embodies both of these traits; but what it lacked, in my opinion, was the necessary ease associated with handling daily errands and long weekend drives. Wrangler’s rugged capabilities weren’t priority on my checklist of car
must-haves.
And then, on my long weekend drive to Bay City, Michigan, rain began to patter against the Wrangler’s windshield as I was cruising the expressway at 70 mph. After a few minutes, it fell harder, then harder yet, until the wipers were whipping to and fro at max speed. The windshield, which moments earlier seemed irritatingly close to my face and extremely vertical, was now a godsend, offering a close and clear view of lane markers, despite inclement weather.
The height of the muscular truck, which had before seemed cumbersome and distinctly guy-oriented, was now an attribute that I was thankful for – perched high enough above neighboring drivers to see what lay before me on the expressway.
As I drove, I counted the redeeming qualities of the Red Rock painted Wrangler Sahara, nipping my initial perceptions of the vehicle in the bud, one by one.
It was maneuverable, offering the height and function of a truck, without the dragging weight of a bed in back. It was roomy, offering four doors, five seats and plenty of cargo space with a clean interior too - no nonsense gadgets or unnecessary frills. It was safe, offering multi-stage front air bags, optional seat-mounted side air bags, Brake Assist, Electronic Stability, Electronic Roll Mitigation, ABS and side-impact door beams.
And one characteristic that nobody can deny – the new Wrangler carries on the classic sport attitude traditionally associated with Jeep. In it, one can’t help allowing a bit of the fun-loving, off-road attitude of Wrangler to rub off on them - especially if it's warm enough to ride minus the Freedom Top (Jeep's 3-piece modular hard top).
I had conformed. I may not be heading off to the next Camp Jeep or slapping on a “If you can read this, flip me over” bumper sticker, but I had grown a soft spot for the Wrangler Sahara that made my would-have-been taunting drive one of ease.
Switching on the high beams and considering the stability of the slightly frozen farm ground surrounding us, I turned to my passenger, who raised an eyebrow to my mischievous grin.
“Interested in a little off-roading?” I asked.
Rather blingtastic looking Majorette Lamborghini Urus but with the sensible practicality of a roof mounted luggage box! Part of the slow selling Tune Up's Series 1 which came out in 2021 and didn't come here yet three years later large unsold stocks of them are now appearing at Home Bargains.
High prices were, and continues to be, this series main drawback but at Home Bargains they are now just 1.99 which is a good price for a diecast which features opening doors and working suspension.
Mint and boxed.

This sharp concept was introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show. It is not a sedan, wagon, SUV or any other kind of vehicle, but simultaneously conveys presence and practicality. The Nomad is based on GM's Kappa architecture, which also served as the foundation for the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky.

Can technology help prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income countries? Increasingly, cell phones, cameras, crowd-sourcing, and mobile apps are being used in innovative ways to address GBV, but questions surrounding ethics, effectiveness, and practicality remain. The Interagency Gender Working Group, U. S. Agency for International Development, Woodrow Wilson Center, CARE, and Population Reference Bureau will host a panel discussion exploring the ethics around new technologies to combat GBV; how effective they are; and what some of the more practical and actionable ways forward might be.

310 Claydon Way is located in one of the finer neighborhoods of Sacramento. Having the advantage of being almost riverside, access to the American River Parkway and bicycle path is just one block from the home, providing lovely walks through incredible natural scenery and wildlife.
Year round, this beautiful neighborhood known as Wilhaggin, shows off its aesthetic pride with floral blossoms and blooms. Unlike other fine neighborhoods in the Sacramento area, Wilhaggin is mostly composed of sprawling single story dwellings. with wide streets, sidewalks and street lights.
The "ambiance" of this kind of neighborhood intention is palpable -- quietude, modest elegance, comfortable curb appeal, an abundance of mature and establish landscaping and shade trees.
Back when these houses were made in the sixties -- before magazine living lifestyle took over and replaced practicality with the discomforts of looking sharp -- strong bones and durability were time-honored architectural concepts. Pleasing oneself was more important than pleasing the neighbors, so the focus of the aesthetic addressed things like "hot summers", "colder winters" and the need for shade and light.
There were many independent builders at that time who became famous for their designs and also for their creative concepts for creating ideal settings for a river-living climate.
Among those that rose to fame, Lewis & Bristow are known for their comfortable living designs that centered around poolside appreciation. Shaped like a "U", 310 Claydon Way has three giant sliders that open up onto a giant back yard patio. The patio has roll-down awnings for late afternoon sun shade but also lends itself to an outside office or enclosed dinner-time eating.
The automated irrigation system has just been completely restored and upgraded. Other changes that have been done recently include brand new carpet, new paint and a remodeled entry way.
The grounds are fully established and mature. There are an abundance of roses and azaleas which bloom seasonally. The redwood trees on the property and surrounding the property in the backyard are invaluable for shade and beauty.
And 310 Claydon Way is loaded with all manner of little details of this nature which make it easy to maintain with a minimal amount of work. A truly beautiful home with over 3100 square feet, 310 Claydon way has been called "Shangri La" and has particularly great appeal to a buyer who loves outdoor living as much as indoor living.
