How Architecture Learned to Speculate
Mona Mahall and Asli Serbest
December 2009
For the first time, the speculative in architecture becomes a topic of critical research. It is investigated, not as idealistic but as strategic acting within endless modernity. This modernity implies that speculation, as strategic acting, is not only applied to economic, but also to political, and aesthetic values. The consequences? Values become mobile, valuations become a play with high and low, authors (architects) become winners or losers, and culture becomes fashion.

What is the purpose of the mainstream media continuous wild speculation on how bad China may get now that China is gradually moving away from its zero Covid policy? As shown by the Johns Hopkins global map above, the number of China's new Covid cases in the last 28-day dropped to 876,604 on December 22 from 917,308 the day before.
These so called free press all use the same source to blow up their speculations. In this case, a UK group called o Airfinity Ltd, a privately held commercial for profit enterprise, but provided no data to back up the claim..

China Is Likely Seeing 1 Million Covid Cases, 5,000 Deaths a Day
China is likely experiencing 1 million Covid infections and 5,000 virus deaths every day as it grapples with what is expected to be the biggest outbreak the world has ever seen, according to a new analysis.
The situation could get even worse for the country of 1.4 billion people. This current wave may see the daily case rate rise to 3.7 million in January, according to Airfinity Ltd., a London-based research firm that focuses on predictive health analytics and has been tracking the pandemic since it first emerged. There’ll likely then be another surge of infections that will push the daily peak to 4.2 million in March, the group estimated.

Health Canada monitoring massive COVID outbreak 'starting to rip through' China
More than 5,000 people are probably dying each day from COVID-19 in China, health data firm Airfinity estimated, offering a dramatic contrast to official data from Beijing on the country’s current outbreak.
The U.K.-based firm said it had used modelling based on regional Chinese data to produce figures that also put current daily infections in the country at above a million.
Its estimates were “in stark contrast to the official data, which is reporting 1,800 cases and only seven official deaths over the past week,” it said in a statement.
China’s National Health Commission (NHC) reported Thursday no new COVID-19 deaths and 2,966 new local symptomatic cases for Dec. 21.
Airfinity said its mortality risk analysis suggested between 1.3 to 2.1 million people could die in China’s current COVID outbreak. Analysis by other modelling groups has also predicted as many as 2.1 million deaths.

China is likely seeing over a million COVID cases and 5,000 deaths a day, report says. But Beijing's official data is showing 7 deaths so far this week.
More than 5,000 people are likely dying from COVID-19 in China each day — in stark contrast to Beijing's official count of just seven deaths in the past week, according to Airfinity, a health data company.
Airfinity's data modelling shows China is likely seeing over 1 million COVID cases a day, in what it called a "stark contrast" to official figures, per a press release on Wednesday.

Treating at-risk groups key task
Medical centers urged to coordinate resources to lessen impact of outbreak
China's top health authority on Thursday stressed ramping up treatment for vulnerable COVID-19 patients, as well as reinforcing preparedness of elderly care facilities and emergency care resources, as part of efforts to lessen the impact of the disease.
The National Health Commission said that tertiary hospitals — large, general hospitals in cities — should devote all efforts to treating elderly and child COVID-19 patients showing serious symptoms, and each hospital should be paired with a specific area and county-level clinics to provide targeted assistance.
Secondary hospitals — those sitting on the middle level of China's three-tier hospital system — should be paired with local elderly care homes. However, no hospitals are allowed to reject serious COVID-19 patients transferred from outside regions assigned to them, the commission said.
"Meanwhile, medical institutions should pay close attention to key facilities such as elderly care homes and key services such as first aid care to ensure the orderly operation of healthcare systems," it said.
"Coordination and allocation of medical resources should be improved, and more efforts should be dedicated to monitoring the epidemic situation, flattening the curve and addressing public complaints," it added.
Local medical capacities are being tested as a wave of COVID-19 infections is hitting cities across China and experts are calling for directing limited resources to the most susceptible groups, including seniors and those with preexisting illnesses.
Zhang Wenhong, head of the infectious disease department at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, said during a forum on Wednesday that the key to weathering the first wave is suppressing the scale of local outbreaks to lower than the full capacity of healthcare systems.
Based on the experiences in some foreign countries, Zhang suggested reinstating some nonpharmaceutical measures such as suspending schools, encouraging work from home and limiting gatherings when hospitals are overwhelmed.
It is also vital to stock sufficient drugs and vaccines, accelerate booster immunization campaigns, enhance community health services and implement triage protocols, he added.
Cao Bin, vice-president of China-Japan Friendship Hospital and head of its respiratory and critical care department, said that even though the rates of hospitalization, admission into critical care departments and intubation or deaths have all fallen for Omicron patients compared to those infected with the Delta strain, the much higher transmissibility of Omicron means that spiking infection numbers will likely lead to excess deaths.
He said most COVID-19 patients suffering viral pneumonia are from vulnerable groups, including people age 65 and above and those living with obesity, multiple chronic diseases, tumors or immunocompromised conditions.
He suggested patients deemed at high risk be given antiviral drugs at an early stage and their oxygen levels be measured regularly.

China's COVID-19 fight in numbers: Lowest excess deaths globally
China's COVID-19 control measures may have prevented more than 50,000 people from dying between 2020 and 2021, according to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO estimates of excess mortality, released in May, calculated as the difference between the number of deaths that occurred and the number that would be expected in the absence of the pandemic based on data from earlier years, show that the full death toll associated directly or indirectly with the COVID-19 pandemic was approximately 14.9 million.
The mean number for accumulated excess deaths in China was minus 52,063, the lowest among all 194 countries listed in the WHO dataset.
The Church of St Alkelda, Giggleswick (historically St Alkald), is an Anglican church in the village of Giggleswick, North Yorkshire, England. St Alkelda's was the mother church for the extended parish of Giggleswick, until the church in Settle was built in 1838, and later became a separate parish.
The dedication of the church is to a little-known Saxon princess (Alkelda) with connections to a religious site in Middleham, North Yorkshire, with much speculation as to how the dedication arrived at the church in Giggleswick. The church is still in use as a place of worship.
A church is believed to have existed on the site of St Alkelda's since Saxon times, however, the church that stands today is largely from the 14th and 15th centuries, with alterations and renovations in the late 19th and early 21st centuries. A previous church is believed to have been destroyed by marauding scots c. 1319. The first documented reference to a church in Giggleswick was in 1160, when "Laurentius, persona de Guckilswic", mentioned the site in a letter written to William de Percy. The church is one of only two that are dedicated to St Alkelda in England, the other, is in Middleham, also in North Yorkshire. Alkelda was a Saxon princess who was said to have been strangled by two Danish women during the Viking invasions. The name Alkelda, is said to derive from either Alchhild or Halig Keld, the latter name has been associated with holy springs. Such a spring existed in Giggleswick, being the source of the now drained Giggleswick Tarn.It is possible that the name Alkelda stems from this spring.
Another possibility is that the church had an early association with the church of the same name at Middleham. Alkelda is believed to have been buried at Middleham, and that the church at Giggleswick became a daughter house of worship to the church there, after the Northumbrian kings took over lands in the Craven area c. 670.
Records show that the church at Giggleswick was given by Henry de Puteaco in 1200, to the monks at Finchale, near Durham. It was still in the possession of Finchale thirty years before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, where a document indicates that the church belonged to the "prior and convent of Durham".
In 1507, a record indicates the granting of half an acre of land to build "a gramar scole[sic] for boys". Staff and pupils from the adjacent Giggleswick School attended services at the church, even paying for gas to be installed for later afternoon services when their numbers threatened to overwhelm the local population. The renovation of 1880 was paid for with money raised from the current and former pupils at the school. This continued until 1901, when the school opened up its own chapel.
Architecturally, the style of the church ranges between Early English and Perpendicular, being described as "..a spacious and handsome structure in the later English style, with a square embattled tower." Most of the glass in the church dates from the 15th century when it was renovated, but a newer piece was installed in the 2010s. Whilst looking through the parish room, two churchwardens discovered a stained glass window depicting St Alkelda being strangled by a sash held by two priestly hands, whilst she was suspended over water. This was later dated to between 1920 and 1930, but no other provenance came to light. The window was later installed in the church.
The organ, built by Abbott and Smith, was installed in 1892 and extensively renovated in 2005 by a company based in York.
The church is linked to the only other Anglican Church dedicated to St Alkelda in Yorkshire, the Church of St Mary and St Alkelda, Middleham, via the 33-mile (53 km) St Alkelda's Way.
In 2020, the church gained permission to install solar panels on its roof to help it save energy and reduce its carbon footprint. No objections were raised by official bodies such as Historic England, as the panels are on a roof that cannot be viewed from ground level.
Despite Settle being the main market town in the area, St Alkelda's was always the mother church, until the Church of Holy Ascension was built in Settle in 1838. The ancient parish that St Alkelda's was responsible for, consisted of over 18,500 acres (7,500 ha) and included; Giggleswick, Langcliffe, Rathmell with Wigglesworth, Settle, and Stainforth. Giggleswick was the ecclesiastical parish town until 1851, when Langcliffe was created as its own parish, with the same happening to Settle in 1898.
Activists from Manchester (South) and Macclesfield WDM groups lobbied Chris Davies (LD MEP for the NW of England) on Friday 27th. April 2012 at his surgery over their concerns about food speculation and the pressures brought by financial elites such as Barclays Capital and hedge funds who trade in contracts with no interest in the production of food or its processing and delivery to consumers. In particular we were anxious to encourage him to follow the lead given by farmers in Scotland and several business leaders who are calling for the EU to follow the US lead in bringing in effective regulation of markets, increasing transparency of dealings by demanding it occurs in exchanges (analogous to the Stock Exchange), that clear and predictable limits are put on the amount that traders or groups of traders can hold (rather than the ineffective regime of "position management" currently allowing irresponsible anarchy that only favours the financial elite), and mandatory, open and clear reporting on positions held by traders.

Rail Garden
Old Rail Viaduct was built in 1845 and due to it being weakened (together with the sandstone viaduct, which is the entry point to the garden) by coal freight, was replaced by the New bridge. Charles Jencks in helping to design the new bridge, had engineers construct a 2-linear-acre garden for him along the original tracks using the detritus from the old bridge and the railway bed.

Eruption goes on, there were speculations among scientist this morning that it was going to stop after a less intense eruptions this morning, but in midday it almost got as intense as yesterday.
I heard a new name for this eruption and I like it. It is Mila or Mila fires, that name comes from the company that is webcasting live from the eruption.

Here is a live webcam of the eruption:
Wikipedia states:
Lake Nemi (Latin: Nemorensis Lacus) is a small circular volcanic lake in the Lazio region of Italy 30 km (19 mi) south of Rome. It has a surface of 1.67 km2 (0.6 sq mi) and a maximum depth of 33 metres (110 ft).
There is considerable speculation regarding why the emperor Caligula chose to build two large ships on such a small lake and from the size of the ships it was long held that they were pleasure barges. However, as the lake was sacred, no ship could sail on it under Roman law (Pliny the Younger, Litterae VIII-20) implying a religious exemption.
Caligula particularly favoured the Egyptian Isis cult which he had established in Rome and also supported that of Diana Nemorensis which, in the Roman tradition of syncretism, he likely viewed as an aspect of Isis.
Situated on opposite sides of the lake and atop the crater walls, are the towns of Genzano which was dedicated by the Romans to the goddess Cynthia, a cult associated to that of Diana Nemorensis and Nemi, which did not exist in roman times. The name Nemi derives from the Latin nemus Aricinum (grove of Ariccia), Ariccia being an extremely important nearby town associated with the worship of Diana and the god Virbius.[1] Located at Nemi are the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to Diana, which was connected by the Via Virbia to the Via Appia (the Roman road between Rome and Brindisi).
During the Roman empire the area around Genzano was used by wealthy Roman citizens for it’s clean air, uncontaminated water and cooler temperatures during the hot summer months. The lake has it’s own microclimate and is protected from wind by the crater walls. Goethe, Lord Byron and Gounod had all lived in Nemi and been inspired by the magical reflection of the Moon seen in the centre of the lake during summer. This phenomenon is the source of the Roman name for the lake, Speculum Dianae (Diana's Mirror).

iPhone 3.98" (3:2) 62 mm x 115 mm
Missing Link 6.44" (5:3) 112 mm x 180 mm
iPad 9.7" (4:3) 186 mm x 241 mm
The first mockup of the speculated 3rd category of iOS device was not really good. More an extreme way to show a possible different path Apple could follow, other than the 7.85" rumored iPad mini.
This new mockup include both a 1080x720 4" iPhone (same height and few mm more in width), and a better-looking better-shaped 6.4" Missing Link at 1800x1080 (roughly as large as the iPhone is tall, and as tall as the iPad is large), both sharing the same pixel density 326 ppi. This screen size is almost exactly surface-wise in the middle of the 2 other devices, with a 2.5x factor (comparison).
Such a 6.4" device could use, before dedicated apps, any iPhone apps at 1.5x, probably more realist than use shrinked iPad apps on a 7.85" screen as most rumors expect.

A FUNNY STORY:
Ruddy Turnstones are often fun to watch, for they seem to be a bit more bold than some of the other shorebirds that are found in large numbers around the jetty area, and it is not uncommon to see a single one exploring a wide area as it covers lots of ground on its travels, many times walking right through groups of other species like a walk in the park. There appears to be an extra level of determination and/or deliberation during these occasion, and although it may only be speculation—reading too much into it--our experience tells us otherwise. This particular critter was seen strolling about, stopping regularly here and there to peck at something edible, and as referred to earlier, would walk through groups of other species on its journey—Purple Sandpipers and Dunlins being those groups on this day.
Then, suddenly, it stopped curiously and looked into a deeper pool of water in a deeper depression of this one boulder that was part of the jetty. Soon, its beak would pierce through the water and out came this long strand of something organic. The idea was to just photograph the moment, and not to interfere or get too close in alarming the bird. It tried to first consume this thick pasta looking thing, but when the strand would not go down, the Ruddy Turnstone began the desperate attempt to extract it. It looked as if part of this thing was caught in the throat, for multiple efforts in pulling it out, using its feet and the violent, rapid shaking of the head did not work. This feathered friend would go in and out of the water, smack the noodle quite hard on the rock, and repeat some of the aforementioned maneuvers several times before finally disengaging it from the beak and throat. This entire event happened in about two minutes or so, and when the odd thing was tossed back into the pool, the bird stopped, regained its composure, stood erect in noble fashion, and proceeded on its way for more exploration as if the incident was completely forgotten. It was certainly a moment that brought a smile at the end . . .
The real Shorebirds are amongst the very favorites of many photographers and birders, who visit the New Jersey shoreline. And when the timing is right, one is rewarded with large flocks of them gathered together to make great group shots. The nice thing about many of these Shorebirds at Barnegat LSP is that they tend not to get easily spooked, triggering an instant, collective mass flight, before returning to either the same or nearby spot. Some of the more commonly seen ones are the Dunlins, Ruddy Turnstone, Purple Sandpiper, and Sanderling, to name a few. You never know which species will be there or not, and whether there will be a large or small count. The waves are usually very chopping and rough, with coastal winds, but for the most part, unless the crashing water against the rocky jetty would envelop them, they would simply flap their wings to jump a bit out of the way from a direct drenching, and then reclaim the same spot. It was so nice to just gingerly walk around them and observe the gentle nature of these shorebirds.
The Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is truly a splendid landscape, famous mostly for its historic lighthouse (over 100 years old) of architecturally clean lines that accentuate its presence, but also the well-designed structure of the long jetty consisting of huge rocks and boulders sandwiched between the nice sandy beach and the ocean, and finally, the wonderful array of fascinating birds throughout the seasons. Throughout the day, one can expect to see a variety of water vessels, from small one-man fishing boats to larger motorized ones, and even enormous tankers in the far distance. The U.S. Coastguard boats are constantly on the lookout for any potential problems in the water.
All of this is even more beautiful during the breathtaking end-of-the-day sunsets or early morning sunrise period, with the accompanying “Magic/Golden Hour” that exudes the special tones in the air. As nature enthusiasts and photographers, it doesn’t get much better than this.
After months of speculation and spy shots the crew at Maranello have finally revealed their new mid-engined V8 powered creation to replace the F430. The all-new 458 Italia won't be shown in public until September's Frankfurt Motor Show the details were released early this morning. A new direct-injected 4.5-liter V8 ups the power ante it 570 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. Eighty percent of that torque is now available at an impressively low 3,250 rpm, thanks probably in part to the 12.5:1 compression ratio.
Like last years California convertible, the 458 gets a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox to send power to the rear axle. A lot of work on reducing the internal friction of the powerplant in addition to reduced aerodynamic drag also helps improve the 458s mileage to a combined 17.1 mpg (US) on the EU test cycle. No mention is made so far of incorporating any type of KERS hybrid system which has been rumored. That may come at a later date.
Like its predecessor the the structure is fabricated out of aluminum giving the 458 a dry weight of just 3,042 pounds. This is after a Ferrari so talk of fuel consumption really does seem pointless. The real question is how quick is it? Based on specs at least, this new coupe does not disappoint. Acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes just 3.4 seconds and this is the first production Ferrari V8 to top the 200 mph barrier, now getting to 202 mph.

"Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
"Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters in 1784. She never married but had three daughters, Mary Ann (1801), Elizabeth (1804-1876), and Susannah (1807-1895). In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson, a barrister of Gray's Inn.
"In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1709) through a Will that was disputed in court.
"Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854 in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 reported on rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles written by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld."

More on the story of Hannah Courtoy's mausoleum
Independent article on the time machine theory
"Brompton Cemetery is a London cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is managed by The Royal Parks, and is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and erected in 1839, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery.
"Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth, as well as a small columbarium. There is also a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end, for cremated remains. It is also an urban haven for nature.
"By the early years of the 19th century, inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground in Brompton, London. The moving spirit behind the project was the engineer, Stephen Geary, and it was necessary to form a company in order to get parliamentary permission to raise capital for the purpose. Securing the land – some 40 acres – from local landowner, Lord Kensington and the Equitable Gas Light Company, as well as raising the money proved an extended challenge. The cemetery became one of seven large, new cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London."

Design Fiction is critical speculation about different possible and preferable futures in media design using methodologies of science-fiction prototyping and design research. Students are examining possible scenarios for developing interfaces in a near future. They work within story laboratories investigating the “archeology of the present” (William Gibson), testing utopian and anti-utopian settings. Which future is possible, which probable, and what can we actually imagine and visualize? Design is an expression and representation of its users’ inherent hopes, projections and fears – Design Fiction as design method allows us to detect the hidden issues in media objects and their different usages.

My recent trip to the moma was really inspiring...it's been awhile since I've been there, and there was a lot to see. Room of One Color by Olafur Eliasson inspired me to take a fresh look at these photos.
When you walk into the Room of One Color, everything turns monochromatic. Yi speculated that maybe this is the way a dog views the world; this led me thinking that we as people are all always in a room of one color in a sense; just because we can see more than just yellow and black and white normally doesn't mean we see all their is to see.
We are bound to miss things just by seeing them
