Mr.Amin is a grass-cutter/hedge-trimmer by profession who hails from Seremban. He works 4 days a week including weekends & spends the rest of his free time traveling around Kuala Lumpur & observing people. He enjoys watching people interact with each other & also their surroundings & how this would affect him as a citizen in his community. This is how I got to meet him. He saw me taking photos near where he was standing & said "Hello, are you from the press? Can you actually take photos in the rain?". Despite his outward appearance which may hinder a lot of people Mr.Amin is truly a fascinating & nice fellow who happily helps out strangers with directions around town whenever he can. To me, he is a living symbol of the theme "Love & Unity".
Unity covers a wide range of loosely connected ideas in science, differently analyzed by different interpreters. Generally, they are expressions, or echoes, of the idea that science can succeed in providing one consistent, integrated, simple, and comprehensive description of the world.

Following the end of a 30 year of Civil War between separatist rebels and the government of a majority Sinhalese country, there have been several initiatives established to unite the people of the north and south of Sri Lanka.
One such initiative is an annual cricket match between two of the older schools in the country, both which have numerous similarities in their history. These schools are Ananda College of Colombo, and Jaffna Hindu College. Ananda College is one of the more prestigious schools in world cricket, having produced numerous international players and several national captains. Jaffna Hindu College is getting its feet back on the ground following the end of the war.
The inaugural match was held in Colombo and was won by Ananda College. This year the match was played in the sweltering heat of Jaffna, and was convincingly won by the home team which was a cause for much celebration.
During the post-match presentation I was lucky to notice in the background, behind all the pomp and tradition, two players from worlds apart engaging each other in a light hearted conversation with some laughs.
This is precisely the aim of this cricket match. It goes far beyond cricket itself and is aimed at bringing people together who could be seen as being wildly different despite cohabitating a small island and sharing a single nationality.
Unity.

Following DOT Public Space Unit’s improvements to create a pedestrian-only zone at the intersection of Jerome Avenue and East Gun Hill Road in the Bronx, DOT Art partnered with the Jerome Gunhill Business Improvement District to present an asphalt mural in the pedestrianized space by Bronx-native Britny Lizet. Titled, “Unity,” the variety of colors in the design intended to stimulate the mind and bring people together. As part of the DOT Public Space Unit’s Street Seats initiative, the space was filled with tables and chairs allowing the mural to become a platform for the community to gather.

In 2009, the Rhondda Cynon Taff local authority, in conjunction with the Arts Council of Wales, erected a new piece of public sculpture just outside Pontypridd. Christened Unity, the sculpture stands on land beside the Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, and is intended to bring new visitors into one of South Wales' most exploited and neglected former mining towns. The sculpture represents three aspects of Pontypridd's heritage: the town's famous bridge, the mines that populated the town in the 1800's and 1900's, and the way that the British fleet relied on both coal and locally-manufactured chains.
Unity or Lunacy? You decide.
The sculpture is largely invisible to anyone travelling up the major road from Cardiff until you've passed the turn-off for Pontypridd, which limits its ability to draw passing tourists into the town. In common with both RCT and Cardiff's local authority, there's no memory of the Glamorganshire Canal incorporated into the sculpture - without the canal, the Chainworks would never have come to Pontypridd in 1816. And there's no incorporation either of the Taff Vale Railway, still in operation today and visible from the site of the sculpture.
Time will tell whether this piece of public sculpture will be an asset or a communist-red (as opposed to white) elephant for the town, but it seems unlikely to become as iconic a piece as the Angel Of The North.

Pontypridd's Unity sculpture looking resplendent following a recent repaint.
The sculpture was designed by Andy Hazell and installed in 2009. It represents three iconic parts of Pontypridd's history. First, the depiction of the old bridge, engineered in 1756 by William Edwards. Second, the railway - once Pontypridd had one of the longest railway platforms in the country and was one of the busiest as coal ("black gold") was transported down to the sea from the many collieries to the north of Pontypridd. Third, the bow of the ship represents both the coal that fuelled the naval fleet and the Brown Lenox chainworks which stood nearby, and supplied chains to Isambard Kingdom Brunel and others.

The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and Kuch Khaas commemorated Daniel Pearl World Music Days with an evening of poetry, music, and dance titled Harmony for Humanity” at the Pakistan National Council of the Arts on Saturday, October 3. The event demonstrated the important role the arts play in promoting peace, tolerance, and mutual understanding. Lahore-based choreographer Nighat Chaodhry and composer Faheem Mazhar melded contemporary and traditional Pakistani music and dance to show how unity and harmony can develop out of conflict.
U.S. Ambassador Richard G. Olson welcomed the crowd of 500 students, educators, cultural representatives, and arts enthusiasts, and highlighted “our shared tradition – Pakistani and American – of using music to spread peace and tolerance.”
The concert was part of the fourteenth annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days, held worldwide in October since 2002 to commemorate the life of slain U.S. Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Daniel Pearl World Music Days is an international network of concerts that uses the power of music to reaffirm a global commitment to tolerance and humanity. Since its inception, Daniel Pearl World Music Days has grown to more than 13,400 performances in 138 countries.
The evening performance followed two days of dance workshops organized around the theme of peace and tolerance led by renowned choreographer Nighat Chaodhry. Chaodhry worked with students across Islamabad to demonstrate the powerful role dance and music play in promoting tolerance and building mutual understanding. Students left the workshops prepared to incorporate powerful social messages in their own artistic endeavors.
The U.S. Embassy provides over $1 million annually in support of musical arts programming in Pakistan. Each year, dozens of Pakistani artists participate in musical exchange programs to the United States, collaborations with U.S. musicians, and performances both in Pakistan and abroad with U.S. government support.

Although this building is going through the process of becoming a World Heritage site, Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in Oak Park, IL, is in need of some serious repair, so serious that the building landed on the 2009 11 Most Endangered Buildings list compiled by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple, located on Lake Street in Oak Park, was built between 1905 and 1908. It is considered to be one of Wright's most "important" designs, and is currently home to Oak Park's Unitarian Universalist Congregation. Unity Temple was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1971.

Unity, By Simon Donovan and Ben Olmstead, Tucson, AZ
"For the Grant Road Improvement Project Phase 2, Simon Donovan & Ben Olmstead were selected to complete artwork for the project. The sculpture they created is called Unity and is comprised of five figures, three female, two male. Each one is approximately 10 feet tall. They stand in a circle facing outward, holding hands and leaning far forward. They would tumble forward if not for the cooperation, trust, and collective effort that is required in forming an unbroken ring. Thus the title "Unity".
"The sculpture is made of hundreds of parallel, vertically aligned stainless steel plates, each held 1 inch apart. The result is a study of figures with a shifting perception of form as one moves around the sculpture. Additionally, it will be illuminated with amber colored LED lights at night."
This is embarrassing for an architecture geek to admit, but having lived in Chicago for 35 years I had never been to nearby Oak Park to see any of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings. Yesterday I remedied that oversight. Of course, I had to see Wright's Unity Temple considered by some as the very first modernist building. The arrangement of concrete shapes belies Wright's unique design of the interior space.
