CHINA’S ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
In nearly four decades, China has shifted from a centrally planned to a market-based economy that is the second-largest in the world. Over the next five years, this nation alone will import
US $8 trillion worth of goods, attract $600 billion of foreign investment, make $750 billion in outbound investment, and send Chinese tourists on 700 million overseas visits. With long-term growth and sustainability in mind, China is now making a critical shift from an investment-driven model to an economic structure boosted by consumer spending. From creating trade initiatives and economic zones to lifting millions from poverty and driving innovation, China’s actions have the potential to shape the course of global business for years to come. Leading global and Chinese experts share important outcomes from the recent convening of the 19th National Congress and what they mean for business leaders looking to grow and capitalize on China’s new demographics.

Unknown abandoned structure, possibly old East Nicolaus High School campus, East Nicolaus, Sutter County, California.
Not much information is available for this location, from research it appears that this structure and the surrounding properties may have been part of the East Nicolaus High School prior to a large grass fire burned it beyond repair in 1964 (some references say the fire took place in 1960).

Trying to find a structure like "Strange Fruit"
I really like the lighting and background gradient in this one.

A standing cross is a free standing upright structure, usually of stone, mostly erected during the medieval period (mid 10th to mid 16th centuries AD). Standing crosses served a variety of functions. In churchyards they served as stations for outdoor processions, particularly in the observance of Palm Sunday. Elsewhere, standing crosses were used within settlements as places for preaching, public proclamation and penance, as well as defining rights of sanctuary. Standing crosses were also employed to mark boundaries between parishes, property, or settlements. A few crosses were erected to commemorate battles. Some crosses were linked to particular saints, whose support and protection their presence would have helped to invoke. Crosses in market places may have helped to validate transactions. After the Reformation, some crosses continued in use as foci for municipal or borough ceremonies, for example as places for official proclamations and announcements; some were the scenes of games or recreational activity. Standing crosses were distributed throughout England and are thought to have numbered in excess of 12,000. However, their survival since the Reformation has been variable, being much affected by local conditions, attitudes and religious sentiment. In particular, many cross-heads were destroyed by iconoclasts during the 16th and 17th centuries. Less than 2,000 medieval standing crosses, with or without cross-heads, are now thought to exist. The oldest and most basic form of standing cross is the monolith, a stone shaft often set directly in the ground without a base. The most common form is the stepped cross, in which the shaft is set in a socket stone and raised upon a flight of steps; this type of cross remained current from the 11th to 12th centuries until after the Reformation. Where the cross-head survives it may take a variety of forms, from a lantern-like structure to a crucifix; the more elaborate examples date from the 15th century. Much less common than stepped crosses are spire-shaped crosses, often composed of three or four receding stages with elaborate architectural decoration and/or sculptured figures; the most famous of these include the Eleanor crosses, erected by Edward I at the stopping places of the funeral cortege of his wife, who died in 1290. Also uncommon are the preaching crosses which were built in public places from the 13th century, typically in the cemeteries of religious communities and cathedrals, market places and wide thoroughfares; they include a stepped base, buttresses supporting a vaulted canopy, in turn carrying either a shaft and head or a pinnacled spire. Standing crosses contribute significantly to our understanding of medieval customs, both secular and religious, and to our knowledge of medieval parishes and settlement patterns. All crosses which survive as standing monuments, especially those which stand in or near their original location, are considered worthy of protection.
Although the shaft and head are missing from the standing cross in All Saints' churchyard, the monument is reasonably well-preserved and is important for being in its original location.

"No-Body Zone: Designing an Exploded Audiobook"
++++++++++++
No-Body Zone expanded out of Richard Foreman’s 1997 novel-in-parts “No-Body.”
From their statement:
“Can a media city-structure be built out of this book? We divided an audiobook recording among seven narrators, mostly previous Foreman actors. Using the recording process as a concrete method, and the narrators' bodies, histories, and recollections as a starting point, we gathered a spectrum of films, scripts, photos, recollections, city diagrams and material ephemera. Thus we tried to plan our city – and instead lost ourselves in spinning a paranoid web of incidentally connected work around the hermetic mythos of Foreman's theater -- a kind intertextual multi-lived hodge-podge/bricolage.
Like all hermetic projects, our No-Body archive shimmers with blind alleys, broken signs, and exploding hearts. In the liminal space between city and reverberation machine -- audiobook performance, hypertext plays, hard drive distribution, theatrical performance -- our audiobook, our website, and our thumbdrive vibrate together as No-Body. Our accreting remains in-process.
The Studio-X evening will produce another media artifact to be archived and broadcast: we will film the discussion and a performance of the new play 'Eastern/Western Meat Lessons' by Stephen Mosblech, a fragment-blending of Foreman's text and others, designed for the Studio-X space.”
