Stephanus Petri, död 12 september 1403 i Vadstena, var en svensk kyrkoherde i Vadstena församling. Han var även munk vid Vadstena kloster.

Biografi
Stephanus Petri blev 1385 curatus i Vadstena församling, Vadstena pastorat. Han var mellan 1391 och 1402 syssloman vid Vadstena kloster. Han blev munk vid klostret omkring 1402, tillsammans med sin syster Ingeborg Petersdotter som blev nunna och de skänkte all sin egendom till klostret. Petri rapportera till biskopen Knut Bosson (Natt och Dag) att klostrets egna arrendatorer inte ville fullfölja sina skyldigheter mot klostret. Biskopen beslutade då att prästerna inte skulle ge dem någon nattvard. Petri avled 12 september 1403 i Vadstena.

A timeline of events in the Bluenose II restoration in Nova Scotia
HALIFAX - A timeline of the Bluenose II restoration project:
April 30, 2009: The Nova Scotia and federal governments announce $14.4 million for the project to be equally split between the two.
June 28, 2010: The province says the restoration is expected to be complete in March 2012, a year later than planned.
July 8, 2010: The overall cost of the project is now estimated to be $14.8 million.
May 9, 2011: The first plank is laid on the vessel's rebuilt hull, a milestone for the project.
Sept. 9, 2011: The last plank is attached to the hull.
Oct. 27, 2011: The Nova Scotia government says the restoration is expected to cost an additional $1 million, bringing the total to about $15.9 million.
May 14, 2012: A tentative plan says the Bluenose II could be back in the water in early July and the restoration is expected to be complete in late September.
Sept. 29, 2012: Thousands of people attend the Bluenose II's official return to water at Lunenburg harbour, the same spot where the original Bluenose was launched more than 90 years ago.
June 13, 2013: The province says sea trials are expected before the end of the month. The cost of the restoration rises to about $16 million.
Dec. 12, 2013: The Nova Scotia government says it wants a full review of the restoration, which is now nearly three years behind its original schedule, as sea trials are delayed again.
Jan. 30, 2014: Premier Stephen McNeil asks the province's auditor general to investigate the restoration as costs grow to $16.7 million.
April 16, 2014: The province says work is underway on the vessel's steering and rudder to fix a problem in turning the ship's wheel.
May 1, 2014: The project costs jump to nearly $18 million.
May 28, 2014: A test drive for the Bluenose II is called off a couple of hours before it was to begin because it's missing a certificate from the American Bureau of Shipping to allow it to leave the dock.
May 31, 2014: The bureau conducts a safety equipment check. The provincial government says outstanding issues need to be addressed, but offers no specifics.
June 18, 2014: The Nova Scotia government says it expects the steel rudder and steering need further changes before the schooner can be formally delivered to the province. The price tag reaches $19 million.
June 24, 2014: The premier's deputy minister, David Darrow, says the Bluenose II needs a modern hydraulic system to turn its 3.2-tonne rudder and make it seaworthy.
Aug. 26, 2014: McNeil says the Bluenose II will not be open to the public until 2015.
Sept. 24, 2014: Darrow says the Department of Culture and Heritage should not have been put in charge of the restoration because it doesn't have the expertise to manage such a complex project.
Dec. 2, 2014: The vessel's new power-assisted steering is demonstrated.
Jan. 28, 2015: Auditor general Michael Pickup says problems plaguing the restoration stem from the province's decision to hand the job to a department that had little experience managing construction projects.

The Indian intelligentsia is like broilers that cannot fly, our youngsters feel defeated and ashamed of our culture and most of our elitist liberals...
The Indian intelligentsia is like broilers that cannot fly, our youngsters feel defeated and ashamed of our culture and most of our elitist liberals are setting the agenda in educational institutions which have become politically charged centres notorious for manufactured revolutions—the key takeaways that led to author and filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's book 'Urban Naxals' are being discussed in academic institutions across the country. Vivek traverses educational institutions and cities in the nook and corner of the country to talk about his book and the context in which it was written.
Visiting more than 45 campuses including the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) that witnessed many agitations in the recent past and is scornfully referred to as a "Marxist Madarassa" by right-wingers, Agnihotri speaks of his efforts in the making of the film 'Buddha in a Traffic Jam'.
According to the author, the book was "a self-discovery unravelling layers in the continents of his mind". Quick to clarify that he is not associated with any political party as people seem to think, he speaks of the whirl of ideas imposed on young minds by people who want to create restlessness at the behest of sources outside the country.
They do this by whipping up passions that have a negative impact on society. "What we need today is not manufactured conflict or chaos. We need to evolve as a society and see a renaissance of art and culture, science and logical rationality. The only revolution we needed was the one waged for our country's freedom," says Agnihotri.
The idea to write a book emerged from a suggestion made by his friend Hari Kiran of the Indic Academy, who encouraged him to document his varied experiences in making the film, which provided him with new and rare insights. Referring to an "Indic Citizen" as one with a decolonised mind, Vivek Agnihotri says he took off to Goa to find 'Creative Moksha' and articulate his thoughts.
Recalling his own reluctance to accept Hindu culture and middle-class values as a youth, he says he grew up in a household that valued culture and integrity as important qualities. While both his parents were freedom fighters, his father was a Sanskrit scholar who translated the 'Atharva Veda' into Hindi.
Like others caught in the traffic of ideas imposed on them, he too was a victim of ideological propaganda till reality dawned on him. In 2010 while researching for a short film on the 'Adivasis' as part of a project that his students undertook in the Indian School of Business (ISB) at Hyderabad (where he taught a course on creative thinking), he realised the false thinking that had shaped his thoughts in identifying Naxals as saints, who were helping the tribals.
As he researched and looked deeper for answers he found a lot of disconnected narratives that were woven together that emerged as a coherent stream in his film 'Buddha in a Traffic Jam'. Atrocities committed in the name of ideology and the nexus with corrupt elements, he found were omnipresent with those championing their cause present among teachers, media and film personalities.
Taking on an ideology that was fashionable and liberal because it was paraded by elitist sections who claimed to know the harsh realities of economic inequalities that they had no idea about was the real challenge. "Your love and relationships are always tested in crisis situations and my relationship with my country had become the crisis of my life," says Agnihotri, who looks at secularism as a political tool that has been misused in our country.
In contrast to the past, where invaders attacked and physically destroyed places of learning, our institutions are now infiltrated and made safe bastions for brainwashing generations of students who become ardent followers of socialism, Marxism, Maoism and Naxalism. From here they emerge as "Urban Naxals" out in the open unlike their counterparts in the jungles. With universities like the JNU emerging as hotbeds of communism and sedition. Agnihotri says the degrees and doctorates of students, who spend many years on the campus never take off while their political careers do.
The author chronicles the difficulties he faced in screening the film at campuses, where the faculty created several obstacles by not according to permissions, declaring a holiday on the day of screening and used other methods of coercion. Bracing up to all difficulties Agnihotri recalls the spectacular screening in several places including JNU, Jadhavpur, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and other cities.
Omnipresent in centres of higher learning, media, bureaucracy and self-proclaimed liberal voices "Urban Naxals" are bent upon creating unrest through false outrage and engineered agitations that hold democracy at siege Agnihotri is convinced.
A country with the greatest diversity where different religious beliefs, castes, languages and cultures thrive unbroken by invasions and machinations needs to counter efforts that are creating divisiveness in the name of secularism according to him. Reaching out to young minds then has become an enduring passion for Vivek Agnihotri, who chronicles several bitter facts in a bid to get to the crux of the problem. His history of "Urban Naxals" and their mysterious ways are part of a discovery replete with new insights and unwavering optimism. It is a labour of love that calls for attention.

Project Euler can be an addictive site for people who are passionate about mathematics and programming. You don't need to be an expert in either of these two disciplines to participate in it's challenges, but any such skills you may already possess will be an asset.
When you first register, you will be presented with 252 problems available to be solved. This number changes frequently, however, as new problems are routinely created and added to the list. The solutions to some problems veer towards the obvious, while others require advanced mathematics to tackle. Likewise, a few can be solved with paper and pencil and a good dose of insight. Most however, will require the aid of a computer program written in the language of your choice.
Each program you execute should output your result within a minute. That's part of the challenge, even though there is no way for the site to enforce this rule.
When you think you've found the correct result for a given problem, you can fill in the result field for the problem, and see if you got it right. If you have, your answer will be added to the list of problems you solved and will count towards your overall score, while bumping up your position on the participant scoreboards. There are several scoreboards, depending on what level you are at, which in turn is determined by the number of problems you have solved so far.
More importantly, solving a problem will gain you access to the respective forum (for that problem), where you'll be able to see solutions and discussions from other participants, who may have used different languages and solution strategies.
Finally, if you are a programmer who's scoping out a new programming language, be it Python, Ruby, Scala, Haskell or Erlang, you'll find a great ally in Project Euler. Having to write hundreds of programs in a given language, will naturally increase your familiarity with that language. And again, comparing your newcomer coding style with those of more experience participants, will no doubt contribute to your advancement within the given language you're focusing on.
Project Euler truly deserves five stars. I recommend it highly to anyone who is unafraid of writing a few lines of code in order to solve interesting math problems.
Online solutions to some of the problems exist if you search for them. But that misses the whole point of the exercise. The premise behind the whole site is to come up with your own solutions.
I think project Euler could be vastly improved by providing links to educational material dealing with the specific problem you are working on – perhaps even a wiki. The knowledge needed to solve most of the Euler problems relies on far more than simple common sense, and it's very tough for someone without a large math background to tackle most of the problems.
What the site lacks is a list on the references – to give an idea of how each problem originated and what we could use to solve them. Not direct clues or solutions (I resisted the temptation to look up clues in google, but I'm sure there should be many).
Thanks for the great lead on Project Euler. I just finished my first exercise and helped spread the word with my own blog.

2019.04.08 2.2평 3층집?..."국내 최초의 초소형 마이크로 주택"
Amore Pacific announced on April 18 that its headquarters building won the top prize in two categories and one category at the 2019 CTBUH Awards hosted by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
서울 용산구에 있는 아모레퍼시픽 본사 건물이 세계초고층도시건축학회(CTBUH)가 주최하는 '2019 CTBUH 어워즈'에서 국내 건축물로는 처음으로 대상을 수상했다.
아모레퍼시픽은 18일 "지난 8일부터 사흘간 중국 선전에서 열린 이번 어워즈에서 2개 부문 대상과 1개 부문 우수상을 각각 수상했다"고 밝혔다. 올해 창립 50주년을 맞은 CTBUH는 초고층건축과 도시건축에 관한 최고 권위의 국제단체다. 건축 분야의 세계적인 기업들이 회원으로 참여하고, 매년 세계 주요 도시를 순회하며 콘퍼런스를 개최해 우수한 건축물을 선정 발표한다.
각 부문은 높이와 기술, 디자인, 창의, 도시환경 등 건축학적 기준에 따른 20여개로 나뉜다. 아모레퍼시픽 본사는 이 가운데 '100~199미터 높이 고층 건물부문'과 '공간 인테리어 부문'에서 대상을 받았다. 또 '기계전기설비 부문'에서 우수상을 받는 등 출전한 3개 부문 모두에서 수상했다.
아모레퍼시픽 측은 "특히 '100~199미터 높이 고층 건물 부문'의 대상은 출품작 수가 가장 많고 관심도도 높은 부문이라는 점에서 그 의미가 크다"고 말했다.
세계초고층도시건축학회는 아모레퍼시픽 본사에 대해 "자연, 도시, 사람과 소통할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주는 등 새로운 기준을 제시한 작품"이라며 "필요 이상의 높이나 유행하는 디자인 보다는 건축물 자체의 가치와 수준에 집중한 부분이 우수한 평가를 받았다"고 전했다.
2017년 10월 준공한 아모레퍼시픽 본사 건물은 지하 7층에 지상 22층, 연면적 18만8902㎡(약 57,150평) 규모다. 영국의 세계적인 건축가 데이비드 치퍼필드가 설계를 맡았으며 지하 1층부터 지상 3층까지를 개방해 임직원과 지역 주민, 지역 사회가 서로 소통하고 교류할 수 있는 형태를 구현했다.
아모레퍼시픽 본사 건물은 2018년 한국건축문화대상 대통령상 및 국토교통부장관상, 2018년 한국건축가협회상 건축가협회장상, 2018년 대한민국조경문화대상 문화체육관광부장관상 등을 수상한 바 있다.
It is the first time that Amore Pacific's headquarters has won the grand prize at the CTBUH Awards among buildings built in South Korea.
Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects' Salesforce Tower has won the top prize at the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat's annual awards for high-rise structures, beating competition from BIG and David Chipperfield.
Tall buildings expert Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) gave the 1,070-feet-high (326-metre-high) tower "Best Tall Building Worldwide" in its 2019 architecture awards.
Marking its 50th anniversary this year, the CTBUH is the most prestigious international organization on high-rise buildings and urban architecture. Global companies in the architectural field participate as members, and hold a meeting every year to select and announce excellent architecture.
This year's awarding ceremony was held in Shenzhen, China, for three days from April 8. Each sector is divided into 20 categories based on architectural standards such as height, technology, design, creativity and urban environment.
Amore Pacific's headquarters won the grand prize in the "100-199 meter tall high-rise building sector" and "space interior section." It also won all three categories, including an outstanding award in the "Machine Electric Equipment Sector."
Regarding Amore Pacific's headquarters, the CTBUH said, "The work presented new standards such as showing the possibility of buildings communicating with nature, cities and people," adding, "The focus on the value and the level of the building itself rather than its high-level or trendy design was highly evaluated."
은마아파트에 이어 잠실 주공 5단지 아파트 주민들이 서울시청 광장에 몰려나왔다. 이들은 서울시 요구대로 국제공모를 했음에도 재건축 심의를 지연시키는 '행정 갑질'을 규탄했다. 지난달 시가 내놓은 '도시·건축 혁신방안'이 우스워졌다. 재건축·재개발 인허가 절차 개선과 아파트 디자인 수준 향상이라는 두 마리 토끼를 잡겠다고 했기 때문이다.
결론부터 말하자면 프로세스 혁신은 진작 했어야 할 일이었고, 디자인 개입은 앞으로도 하지 말아야 할 일이다. 일반 건축물과 달리 아파트는 법 재량주의가 적용돼 사업 승인권자가 공공성을 위해 여러 요구를 할 수 있다. 이는 고약하기로 소문난 각종 심의에 의해 담보된다. 수많은 분야에서 각기 내는 목소리를 담는 과정에서 큰 비용과 시간이 든다. 뒤늦게나마 싱가포르의 재개발청(URA) 같은 기구를 통해 사전기획 및 전 과정을 공공이 책임지겠다니 기대해 본다.
그러나 디자인은 아니다. 서울시는 "성냥갑 같은 획일적인 아파트를 벗어나 다양한 경관을 창출하겠다"고 했지만 바로 그 전제부터가 얼토당토않다. 성냥갑이 왜 문제이고, 왜 도시는 다채로워야 하는가. 이에 대해 깊은 성찰 없이 나온 상투적인 진단이자 처방이다.
지난해 서울 용산에 준공한 아모레퍼시픽 신사옥은 초대형 성냥갑 건물이다. 그런데도 '서울풍경을 바꾼 최고 건물'로 선정됐고 박원순 서울시장도 "세계적 건축가 데이비드 치퍼필드가 지은 아모레퍼시픽 사옥 같은 명소가 곳곳에 들어서야 한다"고 칭찬했다. 요즘 시중에는 외관만 그럴듯할 뿐인 타워형 아파트보다 채광과 맞통풍이 잘 되는 성냥갑 아파트가 더 인기다. 성냥갑(판상형) 아파트의 경쟁률이 훨씬 높고 시세 차이도 크다.
아파트는 20세기 초 도시 인구 폭발에 대응해 탄생한 근대건축의 발명품이다. 아파트를 미니멀한 박스로 지어온 것은 대량생산의 용이성에다 장식 배제와 기능주의의 모더니즘 미학 때문이다. 한국에서도 병영 같은 한강 변 아파트 단지는 서울 주택문제의 해결사이자 근대적 삶의 상징이었다.
그런데 언제부턴가 이들이 도시경관의 주적으로 취급된다. 시기적으로는 다품종 소량생산의 포스트 포디즘이 시작되는 1980년대부터다. 따분하고 금욕적인 모더니즘을 대체할 이른바 포스트모더니즘 건축미학의 등장과 맞물린다. 한국에서는 분양가 자율화가 이뤄진 1990년대부터 다품종 아파트들이 생겨난다. 강남 타워팰리스를 비롯한 주상복합 아파트들이 대표적이다.
아모레퍼시픽 사옥 같은 건축 경향을 미니멀리즘 또는 네오 모던이라 한다. 레이트 모던, 포스트 모던을 거쳐 백 년 만에 다시 원점으로 회귀했다. 소비자들도 외관과 상징성 대신 실용적이고 거주환경이 좋은 성냥갑 아파트로 복귀하고 있다. 양복 깃이 유행 따라 넓어지고 좁아지듯 건축 역시 그렇다. 관청 소관이 아니라는 얘기다.
다양함 또한 공공에서 호불호를 논할 주제가 아니다. 극단적으로 다채로운 도시인 놀이동산, 키치 건축의 전형인 예식장·모텔을 보면서 예쁘다고 할 사람도 있겠지만, 미학적 불쾌감을 느낄 수도 있다. 아파트의 진짜 문제는 성냥갑 형태나 다양함 부족이 아니라 담과 녹지에 의해 섬처럼 고립된 데 있다. 19세기 프랑스 파리 대개조 때 시장 오스만은 대로를 내고 연도에 아파트를 세우면서 높이와 건축 양식까지 통일시켜 획일적으로 지었다. 그런데도 파리는 다채롭다. 집이 길과 접해있어 다양한 삶의 행위가 그대로 풍경이 되기 때문이다.
기왕 '도시계획 혁명'이라는 거창한 구호를 내걸었으면 단지형 대신 가로형 아파트로 패러다임을 전환하겠다고 선언했으면 어땠을까. 개발 시대의 유령인 아파트 단지의 담조차 극복하지 못하면서 애꿎은 성냥갑 스타일만 탓하는 '무늬만 혁명'이 안쓰럽다.
아이디어는 소중한 씨앗이다. 관심을 불러일으키고 문제를 해결하게 한다. 2011년 동일본 대지진 이후 피해 복구에 나선 일본 건축가 이토 도요는 동료 건축가들에게 "국소적인 제안이든, 이상적인 제안이든 무엇이든 제안해 달라"고 편지를 띄운다.
그는 피해 복구기를 담은 저서 『내일의 건축』에서 복구에 임하는 기본자세로 '비판하지 말고, 당장 행동에 옮기고, 건축가로서 나를 초월해 무엇을 할지 생각할 것'을 꼽았다. 이재민들을 위한 마음의 쉼터 '모두의 집'은 그렇게 탄생했다. 임시 거처의 삶이 고단한 주민들이 삼삼오오 모여 식사하고, 담소를 나눌 수 있는 공간을 디자인했다. 일본은 이듬해 이 프로젝트로 베니스 비엔날레 건축전에서 황금사자상을 받았다. 자국의 이재민뿐 아니라 세계인의 공감을 끌어냈다.
2.2평 3층집?..."국내 최초의 초소형 마이크로 주택"
소형차 한 대 겨우 주차할 만한 공간에도 집을 지어 올릴 수 있을까? 불가능해 보이지만 서울의 한 아파트 단지 이면도로변에 있는 5평 남짓한 좁은 땅 위에 3층짜리 목조 단독주택이 들어선다.
서울 광진구 자양동 한라아파트와 주상복합아파트 이튼타워리버2차 사이 부지에 초소형 마이크로 주택이 이달 초 착공에 들어갔다.
이 주택을 설계·시공하는 업체는 건축법에 따라 대지면적 5평 중 인접 대지 경계로부터 0.5m를 떨어뜨리고, 건물 한 층 면적이 2.2평인 3층짜리 목조 단독주택을 지을 계획이다.
방 한 칸이 2.5평인 경우는 있어도, 건물 바닥 전체 면적이 2.2평인 경우는 찾아보기 드물다. 시공업체 측은 "국내 최초의 초소형 마이크로 주택"이라며 "보통 협소주택이라 하더라도 건물 바닥 면적이 5~10평 정도는 되는데, 이 집은 대한민국에서 가장 작은 주택이 될 것"이라고 말했다.
건물주는 3층 중 1층은 테이크아웃 커피숍으로 꾸미기로 했다. 한쪽에는 0.5평 정도 되는 화장실도 마련된다. 2층에는 방과 화장실을 두고, 3층으로 올라가는 계단에 다락을 설치해 수납공간으로 활용하기로 했다. 3층 방까지 합하면 1~2인 가구가 살 수 있는 공간이 만들어진다.
건물주는 주택이 지하철 2·7호선 건대입구역을 걸어서 이용할 수 있는 거리에 있다는 점을 활용해 대학생이나 1~2인 가구를 대상으로 임대할 계획이다.
시공업체 관계자는 "이제 정화조 공사를 마친 기초 단계이고, 한 달 반 정도가 지나면 주택이 완성될 것으로 보인다"며 "토지주가 주택 건축에 필요한 허가를 받는데 굉장히 오래 걸렸고, 시공사가 주택으로 디자인한 기간만 6개월 정도 걸렸다"고 했다.
주변 아파트 단지가 들어서면서 이렇게 작은 면적의 토지만 남게 된 것은 1996년 자양동 한라아파트가 지어질 때 아파트 토지매입 과정에서 보상 문제 등으로 땅 주인과 의견이 맞지 않자, 개인 소유의 필지를 제외하고 아파트를 지었기 때문이다. 23년이 지나고 나서야 집주인은 자신의 땅에 초소형 주택을 짓기로 했다는 설명이다.
한라아파트 주민들이 아파트 담벼락에 맞닿은 곳에 협소주택이 지어지는 데 공사 소음 등의 문제를 우려해 구청에 민원을 제기하면서 현재 공사는 잠시 중단됐다. 주변 아파트 주민들은 협소주택 공사가 절차상 문제가 없는지 구청에 문의했다.
광진구청 관계자는 "개인 사유지기 때문에, 조그만 땅에 주택을 짓는다는 이유만으로 건축을 막을 수 없고, 허가도 다 떨어진 상태"라고 말했다.
4월 3일 열린 토트넘 홋스퍼 vs 크리스털 팰리스의 경기는 홈그라운드의 토트넘이 2:0으로 이겼다.
여기서 손흥민은 개장 최초의 골을 기록하는 기염을 토했다.
포퓰러가가 디자인한 이 경기장은 토트넘 핫스퍼 축구클럽의 새로운 시대를 예고하고 있으며 토트넘과 런던 모두에게 중요한 랜드마크를 만들어 주었다.
62,062명의 수용력을 가진 이 새로운 경기장은 런던에서 가장 큰 경기장이 되며, 완전히 접을 수 있는 피치를 통합함으로써, 축구와 NFL 경기를 위해 맞춤 제작된 세계 최초의 경기장이 된다.
In a pivotal moment for sports venue design, the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host its first game on Wednesday 3rd April, when Tottenham Hotspur meet Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Designed by Populous, the stadium heralds a new era for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and has created a major landmark for both Tottenham and London.
With a capacity of 62,062, the new stadium becomes the biggest club stadium in London and, by incorporating a fully retractable pitch, the first in the world to be custom-built to stage football and NFL games.
The stadium will host its first NFL game in Autumn 2019, showcasing its unique ability to accommodate the technical and operational requirements of the world's two most popular sports. The retractable pitch will also enable the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to host concerts and a range of other events, fulfilling the club's ambition to create a major sports and entertainment destination that will support the on-going regeneration of Tottenham, 365 days a year.
The stadium has been designed to generate one of the best match day atmospheres in the world, with uninterrupted sightlines and spectators closer to the pitch than at any comparable ground in the UK. The stands are angled at 35 degrees — the steepest angle that UK guidelines recommend — to create a tighter, atmospheric stadium bowl which focusses towards the southern 'home end', where 17,500 spectators will come together to generate a 'wall of sound' in the largest single-tier stand in the UK.
The areas at the front of the stand, as well as the away support's section, have been future-proofed for safe standing, with a first-ofits-kind design that gives equal precedence to safety and comfort. The rows of seating are separated by an ergonomically profiled bar set at 900mm for clear sight lines. Each of the seats, which provide the same levels of comfort and leg room as in all other areas of the stadium, is fitted with a lock to ensure it can be securely fixed in the upright position.
A concert-hall inspired acoustic set-up, which amplifies the noise inside the stadium, will add to the atmosphere and spectator experience. Wireless connectivity is available across the venue and will enable fans inside the stadium to connect with and share their live event experiences with other fans across the globe.
Now completed, the stadium's sculpted appearance has become clear; wrapping and folding its way around the stadium before reaching the home end, where a glass façade arches upwards to reveal the huge single-tier home stand, and a curved roof, which melds together with the stadium structure to create a graceful and elegant clean cover over the seating bowl. The façade is dynamic, responsive to the changing light. By day, the façade's perforated screens partially shroud what's going on inside, but at night they act like a lantern, highlighting the activity within.
A five-storey high glass atrium at the south end will provide a new meeting place for home supporters before and after the match including an open food court bathed in natural light. This spectacular entrance provides a glimpse of life within the stadium and has been designed to create a sense of arrival from the station.
Populous' design responds to Tottenham Hotspur's brief to create memorable experiences for its supporters and everyone else who visits the multi-use stadium. To achieve this, unrivalled views of live Premier League action have been supplemented with a vast range of food and drink, retail and premium experiences, which will add to the match day experience.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium represents a major new landmark in club stadium design, offering one of the finest spectator experiences in the world, as well bringing the NFL to north London for the very first time.
Designed to perfectly accommodate both elite football codes, the natural turf pitch is fully retractable, splitting into three pieces before sliding underneath the South Stand to reveal a state-of-theart artificial pitch beneath. This unique design provides full flexibility for the venue to host a range of sports, concerts and events without compromising the integrity of the grass playing surface.
The stadium has a total capacity of 62,062, with a 17,500-seat single-tier 'home end' stand – the largest of its type in the UK – that will enhance the atmosphere during matches by creating a 'wall of sound and a feeling of unity among home supporters. Specially designed reflective panels on the underside of the roof minimise the loss of crowd noise from the stadium bowl.
The five-storey atrium space in the South Stand provides a vibrant area for the home support to gather before and after matches, with a range of food stalls, a microbrewery, and a 65m bar – the longest in Europe – which mirrors the full length of the goal line on the pitch behind. The East Stand includes a double-height banquet hall, which will be used for conference events and will be supported by the introduction of a new 180-bedroom hotel in the south-west corner of the site. As well as being a unique destination for fans and visitors, the hotel will also be a training and educational facility for local young people.
지난달 완공된 서울 새문안교회 새 예배당은 '질문'을 던지는 건축물이다. 현대 도시의 종교 건축은 어떤 모습이어야 하는가?
1887년 언더우드(1859~1916) 목사 사택에서 출발한 이 교회의 여섯 번째 예배당이다. 경희대 건축과 이은석 교수와 서인건축 최동규 대표가 함께 설계했다. 앞쪽 곡면 벽이 안으로 움푹 파고든 형상이 일대 빌딩 숲에서 뚜렷한 존재감을 드러낸다. 완공 전부터 '교회치고 너무 크고 화려하다'는 지적도 나왔다. 워낙 눈길을 끄는 만큼 인근 직장인들도 저마다 감상평을 내놓는다. 그중에는 "아늑하게 감싸 안는 느낌"이라는 호평도, "과시적이고 위압적"이라는 혹평도 있다.
초기 디자인 콘셉트를 주도한 이은석 교수는 "교회 하면 떠오르는 뾰족탑 대신 곡면 벽으로 부드러운 어머니 품을 형상화했다"고 말했다. 한국 장로교 최초의 조직교회(담임목사와 장로로 구성된 당회를 갖춘 교회)이자 '어머니 교회'로도 불리는 상징성을 표현했다는 의미다. 이 교수는 "그 앞에 서면 하늘을 우러러보게 된다. 하늘로 열린 문(門)의 추상적 표현"이라고도 했다. 문은 교회가 설계에 담아 달라고 제시했던 성서적 주제(구원의 문) 중 하나였다. 옅은 베이지색 외장재는 화강석의 일종인 사비석이다. "저렴하면서도 보는 이의 마음을 편안하게 해주는 소재"라고 곽철영 장로(건축위원장)가 설명했다.
교인이 5000명에 달하는 교회 규모만큼 건물도 커졌다. 지상 13층에 연면적 약 3만1900㎡(약 9700평). 다만 용적률(대지면적 대비 건물 연면적)이 상한선 600%에 못 미치는 약 380%다. 더 크게, 높게 지어도 되는데 그러지 않았다는 의미다. 상세 설계부터 완공까지의 과정을 이끈 최동규 대표는 "땅값 비싼 도심에선 종교 시설도 복합화할 수밖에 없다"고 했다.
주변에 곁을 내주고자 한 시도도 보인다. 건물이 인도로부터 기준(10m)보다 더 멀리 30m를 물러나 앉았다. 교회는 이렇게 생긴 앞마당을 개방하고, 로비도 사람들이 가로질러 다니도록 통로로 내줄 계획이다. 1층 '새문안홀' 역시 공연장 등 용도로 개방한다. 곽 위원장은 "도심지 교회로서 주변 직장인들을 생각하자는 취지"라고 했다.
붉은 벽돌로 된 새문안홀은 철거된 다섯 번째 예배당을 축소한 것이다. 일부 자재를 재활용하고, 격자무늬 십자가처럼 사람들이 기억하는 교회의 오랜 상징도 재현했다. 이전 예배당은 건축가 이구(영친왕의 아들)의 작품으로 알려져 보존하자는 논의가 있었으나 도면에 기재된 진짜 설계자는 다른 이름이어서 철거로 방향을 잡았다. 최 대표는 "옛 건물을 남긴 상태에서는 필요한 면적을 도저히 확보할 수 없었다"고 했다. 한 장소에 쌓인 사람들의 기억을 '재개발'하는 최선의 방법이 무엇일지 다시금 생각하게 하는 장면이다.
다섯 번째 예배당을 지은 이듬해인 1973년 재개발 지구로 지정됐다. 이후 증축·리모델링을 하지 못하다가 1984년 신축 논의를 시작해 이번 예배당 완공까지 35년이 걸렸다. 그동안의 마음가짐을 교회 측은 이렇게 표현했다. '검이불루 화이불치'(儉而不陋 華而不侈·검소하되 누추하지 않고 화려하되 사치스럽지 않다.) 판단은 보는 이들의 몫이다.
글로벌 공학용 소프트웨어 개발사 ㈜마이다스아이티가 건축설계 전용 캐드 아키디자인을 무료버전 제품을 새롭게 출시했다.
무료버전 제품은 아키디자인 홈페이지에 접속해서 제품을 다운받으면 즉시 사용할 수 있다.
그동안 많은 건축설계사무소들이 외산 캐드를 사용함으로써 캐드 불법 복제 단속, 고가의 사용료를 내고 강제 업그레이드를 해야 하는 등 많은 어려움을 겪어왔다. 때마침 마이다스아이티가 만든 국산 캐드를 무료로 쓸 수 있다는 희소식을 접한 건축설계사무소들은 아키디자인 홈페이지에 앞다퉈 접속하여 현재 약 1만2천회의 다운로드를 기록하고 있다.
아키디자인을 사용해 본 사용자들은 보통 5일 걸리던 일이 2일만에 완성될 수 있으며, 국내 건축환경에 최적화된 프로그램이라고 이야기 한다. 아키디자인은 기존에 사용하던 외산 캐드와 유사한 화면구성을 가지고 있어 사용자들이 부담 없이 사용할 수 있다. 또한, 기존에 사용하던 DWG, 명령어 등을 그대로 사용할 수 있어 별도의 학습 없이 쓰던 방식 그대로 사용할 수 있어 부담이 적다. 게다가 기존에는 추가로 구매해야 했던, 써드파티(Third party)나 리습(Lips) 등이 모두 포함되어 있어 아키디자인 하나로 원하는 기능을 모두 사용할 수 있다.
한편, 아키디자인의 차별화 기능은 더욱 강력하다. DWG도면분리 및 연속출력, 도면목록표 자동 생성 등 건축행정시스템(세움터)을 비롯하여 도면납품의 편의성을 극대화하고, 엑셀없이 면적표를 생성할 수 있다. 복잡한 단면을 선을 그리듯이 퀵 드로잉하는 기능, 자동축척 및 내부참조 기능 등 타사제품에서 따라올 수 없는 혁신적인 기능들을 갖추고 있다.
아키디자인은 세계 최고 수준의 공학용 소프트웨어 기술력을 검증 받은 ㈜마이다스아이티가 건축 설계에 최적화된 제품을 만들기 위해 국내 최고의 CAD개발 전담조직을 구성하여 3년전 야심차게 출시한 제품이다. 마이다스아이티 건축설계SW사업 총괄 이정재 팀장은 "아키디자인 출시 3주년을 맞아, 아키디자인 무료제품의 보급을 통한 건축설계 캐드 시장의 판도를 바꾸고자 한다.
모든 건축설계 실무자들이 아키디자인 무료제품을 통해 익숙한 캐드를 그대로 사용하면서 아키디자인만의 차별화 기능을 활용할 경우, 건축설계업무에서도 제4차 산업혁명의 생산성 혁명에 발맞춘 도면업무의 혁신을 가져올 것으로 확신한다."고 밝혔다.
프랑스 지리학자 발레리 줄레조는 2007년 『아파트 공화국』을 출간하면서 한국 아파트 전문가가 됐다. 프랑스는 현대 아파트의 창시자인 건축가 르코르뷔지에가 활동한 나라였지만 정작 아파트는 빈민층의 주거모델로 주목받지 못했다. 1994년 서울을 방문한 학자에게 한국 아파트의 인기는 놀라웠다. 그의 동료가 한강 변에 늘어선 반포 아파트의 사진을 보고서 군사기지인 줄 착각했다는 에피소드도 있다.
인구의 절반 이상이 사는 천편일률적인 아파트. 새삼스럽지 않은 우리 주거 풍경이다. 최근 서울시는 도시계획 혁명 선언을 했다. '폐쇄적이고 획일적인 아파트 공화국에서 탈피해, 미래 100년 서울의 도시경관을 바꾸겠다'는 내용이었다.
딱 1년 전, 박원순 서울 시장은 아파트 디자인 혁신 선언을 준비하고 있었다. 똑같은 아파트 디자인을 금지하는 내용이 담겼다. 발표 시기는 잠실주공 5단지 국제설계공모전 당선작이 공개될 즈음으로 조율되고 있었다. 공공성을 더하는 대신 50층 건축 인센티브를 주는, 국내 재건축 단지 역사상 처음 치른 국제설계공모전이었다.
하지만 당선자인 조성룡 건축가는 1년째 설계 계약도 못하고 있다. 단지 내 도로 등의 문제로 주민 반발은 거세다. 시는 수수방관 중이다. 갈등이 계속되자 디자인 선언은 자취를 감췄다가 1년 뒤 도시계획 혁명 선언으로 부활했다. 난데없이 '가우디 아파트'가 주요 키워드가 됐다. 진희선 서울시 행정2부시장이 가우디의 건축물을 보고 자라난 바르셀로나의 아이들과 성냥갑 같은 건물을 보고 자라난 우리 아이들의 상상력에 차이가 있을 수 있다고 말하면서다.
발레리 줄레조는 아파트 공화국 한국에는 진정한 국민주택이 없다고 지적했다. 공공이 투자를 안 해서다. 도시 인프라 구축도 주거 마련도 민간에서 아파트 단지로 해결해온 터다. 아파트 담장 밖이 안보다 좋으면 담장을 칠 이유가 없다. 아파트 공화국을 탈피하려면 문제 진단부터 다시 해야 할 듯하다.
주거용 오피스텔에 대한 수요자들의 관심이 높아지면서 다양한 설계가 나오고 있다. 오피스텔은 다주택자 관련 규제를 피할 수 있고 청약통장 없이도 청약이 가능하다. 임대사업자는 물론 실수요자들이 관심을 갖는 이유다. 주거용 오피스텔은 아파트 못지않은 설계에 가전이나 가구 등이 제공되는 경우가 많다. 복층, 테라스, 다락 등 좀 더 넓게 쓸 수 있는 특화 평면도 나오고 있다. 이 때문에 1인 가구뿐만 아니라 신혼부부, 2~3인 가족이 실거주용으로 선호하고 있다.
전실이 복층으로 설계된 '이안 강동 컴홈스테이'. 계단 공간에 붙박이 수납장을 설치했다.
대우산업개발이 서울 강동구 천호동에 분양 중인 '이안 강동 컴홈스테이'는 전 타입이 높은 층고의 복층으로 설계됐다. 최상층은 전용 야외카페 혹은 전용 홈트레이닝 스페이스 등으로 활용할 수 있는 개인 전용 옥상이 제공된다. 내부에는 드레스룸, 첨단 빌트인 가전과 가구, 엔지니어 스톤 주방 상판과 주방 벽면, 카운터형 세면대, 세족대 등이 설치된다.
야외 옥상정원을 비롯해 여성전용층과 여성전용 주차장이 도입된다. 전용면적 22~47㎡로 구성된 654실이다. 코오롱글로벌이 인천 서구 가좌동 106 일대에 공급 중인 '가좌 코오롱하늘채 메트로'에도 복층이 있다. 전용면적 30~63㎡의 590실 규모로 다양한 평면이 도입된다. 넉넉한 수납공간을 위해 드레스룸 또는 붙박이장을 선택할 수 있다. 맘스카페와 키즈카페 등의 부대시설과 주민 휴게 공간이 옥상에 조성된다.
경기도에서 역과 가까운 입지에서 분양되는 오피스텔은 대부분 주거용으로 공급된다. 대림산업이 고양시 일산서구 일산동 621의 1 일원에서 공급하는 'e편한세상 일산 어반스카이'는 아파트와 오피스텔로 구성된다. 전용면적 66~83㎡로 이뤄진 오피스텔 225실은 방 2개와 거실이 전면에 있는 '3베이' 구조를 적용했다. 이 단지는 경의중앙선 일산역과 가깝다. 신분당선 동천역을 이용할 수 있는 한화건설의 '수지 동천 꿈에그린'도 오피스텔을 다양하게 설계했다. 용인시 수지구 동천동 349의 10에 들어서는 이 단지는 아파트 293가구와 오피스텔 207실로 구성됐다. 오피스텔은 전용면적 33~57㎡로 투룸 중심으로 설계됐고, 일부 평면은 복층이 도입된다.
지방 광역시에서도 주거용 오피스텔 공급이 확대되고 있다. 대우건설이 대구 수성구 두산동에 공급하는 '수성 레이크 푸르지오'는 전용 84㎡의 주거용 오피스텔이 포함됐다. 168실로 2~3인 가구에 알맞은 평면을 선보일 예정이다. 시티건설이 울산 남구 신정동 일대에 분양 중인 '문수로 두산위브더제니스'에는 전용면적 32~78㎡ 오피스텔 99실이 포함됐다. 단지에는 천연 온천 사우나가 입점할 예정이다.
스코틀랜드 건축가협회는 82개 작품 중 19개의 스코틀랜드의 쇼트리스트를 발표했다.
쇼트리스트 다음과 같은 건물( 알파벳 순)으로 구성된다.
Judging will take place at the end of April with the RIAS Awards Winners being announced at a dinner at the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh on 30th May. The RIBA National Awards will be announced in June.

Stuart McKill, Saint-Gobain (Emerging Architect Award judge) and Jon Stevenson (Timber Award judge) will join the judges on tour to judge their specific awards only. Steven Robb, Deputy Head of Casework, Heritage Directorate at Historic Environment Scotland (Conservation and Climate Change Award representative) was also involved in the shortlisting discussions and the Scottish Government are, once again, supporting the Scotland's Client of the Year Award.


Possession of Marijuana in Michigan is currently a misdemeanor and the cultivation or sale of it is a felony. Medical marijuana was legalized in Michigan in 2008, since then many marijuana advocates have been waiting for the opportunity to vote for its legalization. Even if the legalization passes, Federal Law still considers Marijuana to be a Class 1 Drug, this is the same Class as Heroin, Meth and LSD. Current Laws regarding Marijuana legality across the United States. I spent much of my teenage years and early 20s enjoying marijuana daily. About 11 years ago I stopped smoking it, if it is legalized I may start enjoying it occasionally again. I drink alcohol once or twice a month and aside from caffeine and nicotine, I do not use any other drugs. So I doubt it will ever be a daily habit again.
I will be voting yes personally, many people I know benefit from using marijuana medicinally, and our economy will benefit from the cash flow, and jobs it is sure to produce. As a Libertarian, I am pro states-rights, and don't believe in prosecuting and incarcerating people for victimless crimes. If it doesnt violate the NAP (non-aggression principle), it is likely none of my business.
I really hope it passes!
I sure hope it become legal nation wide. North Carolina is where I'm at.

Are you ready to get Skewed?
Aldous ate the World is a proud media partner of Rockalinga.
I knew little about this pizza joint located at N. Domingo, San Juan so I decided to join Openrice Eat's a Date in order to try out their pizza choices. I am such a big fan of pizza so I could not resist this invitation. I heard some of the bloggers got lost and that made for some laughter in the air.
The prices of the pizza here are mind boggling. The largest at 16 inches is only 250 pesos, the family size is 170 while the smallest is only 60 pesos. Even if the sizes shrink, the quality of the pizzas are still intact.
The Chicago White pizza opened the night and we were told they were going to make us sample all of their pizzas. That got me real excited especially since I sampled Chicago White and it was tremendous. Some bloggers tried using the hot sauce and they ended up regretting it because it was too spicy. It was another moment of laughter when I saw some blogger looking for some iced cold water.
I did not like pineapple on pizza so I had to take them out when I sampled their version of Hawaiian pizza. I have to admit I was never a fan of Hawaiian pizza but I became a fan of their version.
Margherita pizza is usually the cheapest pizza in most pizza establishments since it does not contain much ingredients. All the pizzas given to us were really good as they were made fresh from the oven. They also gave us a close up view on how they were made.
The New Yorker is one pizza loaded with a lot of meat. It got me searching for some drinks. However, it was revealed that they were not allowed to serve drinks other than water for some reason. It was a good thing one generous blogger decided to treat us to soda as soda and pizza make for a nice combination.
I love mushrooms so it was no surprise that I loved Wild Wild Mushroom so much. It was loaded with so many kinds of mushrooms that I forgot the names of some of them. This was easily my favorite pizza of the night. There were actually a lot of leftovers but the Openrice people took all of them.
Who would have ever thought that this Carbonara is only 80 pesos. With its size, it is actually good for two people. When I tasted it, it is was one good homemade treat.
It is indeed a partnership for the ages as jobsDB Philippines has partnered with Unland International for an event that will change the lives of those who are unemployed. Unland International is an NGO whose aim is to fight poverty while jobsDB Philippines is the largest online recruitment website in the Asia Pacific region.
It is now signed, sealed and delivered. jobsDB Philippines and Unland International have signed an MOA that they will organize a job fair called Unland Kabuhayan. The job fair will happen on January 24 - 26, 2014 at the SMX Convention, Mall of Asia grounds. It is expected to be attended by over 80000 participants and 200 exhibitors will be on hand to give all of them ample opportunities.
As a food blogger, I could not stop looking at the food the entire time. I must say that being in a press conference for the first time can cross one thing off my bucket list and it even satisfied my appetite. The food served were delicious.
From the scrumptious grubs like Sweet 16 Chicken made of morsel of chicken, fresh pineapple chunks, and capsicum, Garlicky Crispy Pata, Honey Fried Chicken, and Pork chop to the Crispy Orange Shrimp, Tuna Belly, and Garlik Squid and other tasty treats of the ocean, Krazy Garlik is now refreshing your palate with the new quick fixes and easy to eat addition to the menu. It's perfect for people on-the-go and also to people looking for the new krazy thing in Krazy Garlik's already krazy menu.
Now Krazy Garlik goes Mexican and offers the familiar tastes of Mexico – burritos, tacos, and nachos. With tortilla-crusted tacos and burritos, you have the choice of Krazy Chicken, Krazy Braised Beef, or Krazy Fish. Or indulge in Krazy Garlik Nachos, which is piled high with crunchy nacho chips layered with succulent beef asado, cheese sauce, fresh tomatoes, red onions, and fiery jalapenos. Other new menu items include Amazing Sisig and Insane Beef. You can just choose one or just order everything so you don't miss out on anything on the great-tasting.
And just to make sure you get the best from the best, Krazy Garlik is offering an Amazing Sisig Burrito for free for every minimum purchase of Php500. Just present the attached voucher through your mobile or print it out upon ordering. The offer is good starting November 12 up until December 12.
At Krazy Garlik, it's either go big or go home. The dishes are served ample portions to fill your hungry stomachs and discriminating taste buds. So drop by Krazy Garlik's branches at Greenbelt 5, New Port Mall, Alabang Town Center, and our soon to open branch at Greenhills and enjoy garlicky goodness only at Krazy Garlik.
I promised myself that I would try all the restaurants at the newly opened UP Town Center. All the restaurants here seem to have their own theme and they all have something unique that makes me want to try them out. When we went there last time, we had lunch at Casa Verde then dessert at Cafe Shibuya.
How did those visits turn out?
It was a good thing we came at lunch time at Casa Verde as there were was no waiting list yet. It is amazing how UP Town Center also has two restaurants that used to have long lines in J.Co and iHop. Those lines have obviously fizzled and people are now curious about Casa Verde.
It says in the menu that once you try it, you will never forget it. How right it was! I won't forget Brian's Ribs because of how affordable it is for a baby back rib. A lot of people have also recommended this to me and now I know why.
I loved how tender their meat was. It was Casa Verde's version of the classic Filipino dish tapsilog but with tenderloin meat. It was supposed to be for my girlfriend but I ended up eating half of it anyway. That was how good it was.
John sure had a good idea for this non-alcoholic cocktail as it contained orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine and Sprite. It was an energizing drink to say the least.
This drink combined orange juice, pineapple juice and coconut milk. I liked the mix of ingredients here and I thought it made a really wonderful combination.
Oh my! This dessert french toast lit up my eyes from the moment I had my first bite. I just kept on eating it without paying attention to the people around me . Putting vanilla ice cream on top of cheesy french toast is certainly a delightful idea. I would put this french toast on top of one of the best new things I have tasted this year.
I made it a point to try the matcha latte of every coffee or milk tea shop that has it. Kozui may be #1 on my list but Cafe Shibuya's version is a very close second. In fact, when I get to try it again the two of them could already be tied for the top spot. I am saying that despite the fact that I am a really harsh critic.
That would do it for this edition of the UPTC Chronicles. Right now, I am really excited on which restaurants I am going to pick for part 2 as all the restaurants here look very promising.
Kampai! Roku celebrates one year of authentic Jap food!
In Japanese, it is Cheers! There was reason to celebrate on the night of 11-12-13 as Roku celebrated its first year anniversary. A lot of artists, musicians and media people(including me) graced the wonderful event and it was a success in more ways than one.
It was one of the best events I have attended this year as good music was provided by Deuce Manila. There was also a photo booth for remembrance and there were prizes given away for best costume, best couple and best Instagram photo.
My alias for the night was Ramen Boy as I feasted on several cups of their ramen especially the Seafood Shio Ramen. I have to say that I am became a big fan of ramen on this night because of what I tasted.
The Firecracker roll was very spicy. I have a low tolerance on spicy food so I was not able to taste it. My blogger friends told me it was really good though.
The Chicken and Beef Tsukume satisfied my cravings. I had a lot of it but nobody noticed that including me as I lost count of the number of sticks I devoured.
The Sushi Trio included tempura, crab and salmon. It was a sight to see for seafood lovers. I tried out all three of them and they were all good.
I am not that fond of cakes but their Green Tea Cheesecake really became an instant favorite. I would find myself craving for this cake on several occasions.
The campus movers for the night included Michelle Gumabao, Andre Paras, Alyssa Valdez, Fons Martinez and Steph Ayson. There were also local celebrities present including Andi Eigenmann, Sam Milby, Yael Yuzon and Kris Bernal. It was like an awards night and that shows how much people really appreciate the food at Roku.
Host Maxene Magalona never failed to energize the crowd. It was my first time watching her host and she really is good with it.
Actress Andi Eigenmann showed us that she looks fantastic in personal. It felt wonderful to see her for the first time.
Congratulations to owner Sheila Romero. I am sure Roku will continue to be successful in the coming years as it was the first time I have tasted their food and I came away impressed. Me and my friends Eyah and Kax sure had a good time.
I have to thank Sheila's daughter Milka Romero for inviting me. She ended the night with a touching tribute for her mother and that was very sweet.
In celebration of Andres Bonifacio's sesquicentennial, Dulaang UP stages Teatro Porvenir, Ang Katangi-tanging Kasaysayan ni Andres Bonifacio, Macario Sakay at Aurelio Tolentino sa Entablado, a Palanca-winning play written by Tim Dacanay. Teatro Porvenir is a re-imagining of the history of the Katipunan through an amalgamation of myth and literature, history and religion. The play highlights Bonifacio as artist- a facet of this valiant revolutionary that remains largely unknown to most people.
It all starts with a struggling moro-moro troupe in Tondo, Teatro Porvenir (Theater of Tomorrow). Its members, Aurelio Tolentino, Emilio Jacinto, Macario Sakay and the brothers Ciriaco, Procopio and Andres Bonifacio, try to introduce reforms in the komedya and senakulo. Born into a time of foment, their art-making is informed by the subversive works of Jose Rizal and Marcelo del Pilar. The moro-moro players ultimately become members of the supreme council of the Katipunan and play out their vital roles in Philippine history.
Culled from a diverse array of historical scholarship and documents, religious and literary traditions such as the sinakulo, komedya, awit, and pasyon, this highly imagist play seeks to bring to the 21st century a new interpretation of the life and times of Andres Bonifacio.
The play features a stellar cast headlined by seasoned theatre actors with emerging actors from UP and other theatre groups: Romnick Sarmenta, Russell Legaspi, Jojit Lorenzo, Joel Saracho, Vlad Gonzales, Fitz Bitana, Jean Judith Javier, Karen Gaerlan, Natasha Cabrera, Fatima Cadiz, Nikki Lorenzo, Emerald Bañares, Paul Jake Paule, Cedrick Juan, Io Balanon, Dan de Guzman, Janel Estuya, and the Dulaang UP ensemble composed mainly of freshmen from the theatre arts program.
Teatro Porvenir is directed by Dulaang UP's artistic director Alexander Cortez. Director Cortez also directed and translated Adrian Cristobal's The Trial of Andres Bonifacio (Ang Paglilitis) in 1997 which saw over 120 performances of this ground breaking historical play. The prolific playwright Floy Quintos shares his expertise as creative consultant; Meliton Roxas, Jr. and Ohm David do the technical direction and assistant technical direction respectively; set design by Hongkong-based Faust Peneyra, sound design by Jethro Joaquin and costumes by Nimrod Sta. Ana. The choreographic team is headed by Angel Baguilat of the UP Dance Company and Filipino martial arts "arnis" expert Bot Jocano; Batalla movement by Jess Macatuggal and Grace Jaramillo.

I was ecstatic when I found out my homies Charmaine, Wero, Jaxon and Tsoostai from Couchsurfing Manila put up their own restaurant. Add that to the fact that I just live nearby. Last week, we finally got the opportunity to try their original skew all you can buffet.
It is the first barbeque skewer buffet in the country as each table comes with a grilling machine and an exhaust fan above in order to absorb the smoke.
Other than the skewer buffet, you can also choose to eat fried rice, vegetables, sisig and chicken for those who can't wait much longer. I guarantee that the skewers are worth the wait though.
There is a wide range of skewers available and my favorite is the pork bbq and chicken wings. The hotdogs and vegetables were good as well. I love it when each stick comes with bell pepper.
The buffet starts at an amazing 299 pesos during lunch time and there are skewer packs for as low as 139 pesos. Those who are watching their budget can opt for the budget meals for as low as 99 pesos.
Wero came up with the concept due to the fact that he loves street food. He also took some suggestions from us and we suggested that there should be some steps so the customers would know what to do. It should also be indicated when the skewers are already safe to eat. Wero promised that those concerns would be addressed in no time.
We had a fun time watching the skewers get cooked right in front of us. While that is happening, it was the perfect time to share life stories with my blogger friends. I noticed some of them even made new friends and that makes me happy.
This was one dinner to remember. Don't agree with that?

The World Wi-Fi project is a global decentralized free Wi-Fi network based on private routers which are typically residential routers. Every router owner may share their excess Wi-Fi capacity, allow guests to connect and share the capacity and in the process earn cryptocurrency for this shared capacity.
In the end, everybody wins: while guest users get free Internet access, those who own routers generate income, and advertisers reach their target audience. World Wi-Fi is an global project built by the community.
World Wi-Fi incorporates Big Data technology used to collect and analyze non-personal data and user activity, which allows advertisers to target their ads to those who are more likely interested in them. Blockchain technology can make transactions between the participants of the process fast and inexpensive and it ensures that the parties have mutual guaranties by utilizing smart contracts. Blockchain also gives advertisers absolutely reliable and transparent information on the advertising campaign conducted.
Airbnb has not built a single hotel, but offers a global hotel experience where everyone who oers a room feels like a hotel owner. Uber has not bought a single car, yet has established a global taxi ‑eet, where the drivers use their personal cars as an opportunity to earn through "sharing".
Likewise, World Wi-Fi is not going to build actual hotspots, but offer router owners an opportunity to act as service providers and earn additional revenue by sharing Internet access capacity.
World Wi-Fi is based on successful existing business in Wi-Fi access points and Wi-Fi advertising networks with a vision to "go global". "Radius Wi-Fi" and "Adrenta" operate in 80 cities with the total staff of more than 100 employees. World Wi-Fi has analyzed the existing business models and understand that blockchain is a perfect technology to create a global decentralized wi-fi- network and to make this network free for guest users by advertising. In a sense, this is the same model with television now with the only difference being that we will only need to show a short and non-intrusive advertisement when connecting a Guest User to the network. In short, the advertiser gets more targeted and less expensive advertising, the router owner receives some payment for hosting a "free" Wi-Fi access point for guests and the guest receives access to the Internet in exchange for viewing an ad, which is targeted to their interests. A demo version of World Wi-Fi has been launched and is available for evaluation.

Benzedrine: Old School Adderall!
As you all may have noticed, I am kind of a geek. I love to research many subjects, and archaeology and pharmacology (particularly psychopharmacology) are two of my favorites. So, when CAP found an old Benzedrine inhaler on campus, I jumped at the opportunity to read and write about them both at the same time!
Benzedrine is an amphetamine, so it is a stimulant similar to many of today's ADHD meds. It was initially used as a bronchodilator, which is something that increases airflow to the lungs. The name "Benzedrine" is the trade name of a particular kind of amphetamine mixture, and was first marketed under this name by Smith, Kline, and French in 1933. People soon realized that it woke them up and made them "speedy," which led to it being one of the first synthetic stimulants to be used re
Benzedrine Inhaler found at Munn Field
creationally. Instead of inhaling it, people would often crack it open and swallow the Bezedrine-covered paper strip inside, sometimes with coffee or alcohol*. It was said to have a bitter taste.
Benzedrine and other amphetamines were used in WWII to keep troops awake. We found the inhaler in an area that was used by the ROTC after the war, so it is possible that it was used by someone who had fought and become addicted to the drug, therefore still needing it when they came back. The inhaler was not broken in half like it would have been if they had been swallowing the paper, however. Benzedrine and other stimulants would often keep them awake past the point of exhaustion, which led to side effects such as paranoia and hallucinations, which are pretty bad when you're flying a plane.
It could also be said that the Beatniks were "benny" fueled. It was referenced in Alan Ginsberg's Howl and Jack Kerouac's On The Road. Many of them felt that stimulants enhanced their creativity.
Benzedrine also came in tablet form, and was sometimes used to treat mental illnesses such as depression. It was tested on children with behavioral problems in the 1930s. It became a prescription drug in 1959.
It's no secret that college students today often use stimulants that they were not prescribed to study. According to a study, 14% of MSU students reported taking an unprescribed stimulant such as Adderall or Ritalin in 2012. Here, we may have material evidence that this is not a new phenomenon.
*Not to sound like a PSA here, but mixing a stimulant (i.e. Benzedrine) and a depressant (i.e. alcohol) is a terrible idea. At best, it can make someone not know how drunk they really are and do very stupid things with a lot of energy. At worst, it can cause coma or death. Don't do it.

Dana Milbank: Dick Whisperer
Last week, when Nico Pitney of the Huffington Post was called on for a question at Obama's press conference. Obama said he heard Pitney was soliciting questions from people in Iran using the internets, and wanted him to relay one of those questions. Now if Pitney had lobbed him a softball rather than asking him probably the toughest question of the night, I would understand peoples' concern. But since he did ask a tough question, it seemed simply like a smart move by the president (to appear concerned with the plight of the Iranian protesters) while also a cool use of technology (soliciting questions from people who are very far away and choosing the best one).
But not according to Dana Milbank. When you write a fluff column for the Washington Post, you know serious journalism:
In his first daytime news conference yesterday, President Obama preempted "All My Children," "Days of Our Lives" and "The Young and the Restless." But the soap viewers shouldn't have been disappointed: The president had arranged some prepackaged entertainment for them.
After the obligatory first question from the Associated Press, Obama treated the overflowing White House briefing room to a surprise. "I know Nico Pitney is here from the Huffington Post," he announced.
Obama knew this because White House aides had called Pitney the day before to invite him, and they had escorted him into the room. They told him the president was likely to call on him, with the understanding that he would ask a question about Iran that had been submitted online by an Iranian. "I know that there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet," Obama went on. "Do you have a question?"
Pitney recognized his prompt. "That's right," he said, standing in the aisle and wearing a temporary White House press pass. "I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian."
Pitney asked his arranged question. Reporters looked at one another in amazement at the stagecraft they were witnessing. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel grinned at the surprised TV correspondents in the first row.
The use of planted questioners is a no-no at presidential news conferences, because it sends a message to the world -- Iran included -- that the American press isn't as free as advertised. But yesterday wasn't so much a news conference as it was a taping of a new daytime drama, "The Obama Show." Missed yesterday's show? Don't worry: On Wednesday, ABC News will be broadcasting "Good Morning America" from the South Lawn (guest stars: the president and first lady), "World News Tonight" from the Blue Room, and a prime-time feature with Obama from the East Room.
But yesterday's daytime drama belonged primarily to Pitney, of the Huffington Post Web site. During the eight years of the Bush administration, liberal outlets such as the Huffington Post often accused the White House of planting questioners in news conferences to ask preplanned questions. But here was Obama fielding a preplanned question asked by a planted questioner -- from the Huffington Post.
Pitney said the White House, though not aware of the question's wording, asked him to come up with a question about Iran proposed by an Iranian.
Those crazy liberals, getting angry when Bush dressed up a male prostitute as a journalist and let him ask questions like this:
"Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the U.S. economy. Harry Reid was talking about soup lines. And Hillary Clinton was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. Yet in the same breath they say that Social Security is rock solid and there's no crisis there. How are you going to work – you've said you are going to reach out to these people – how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"
Yep, that sounds like the right comparison for Pitney's staged softball:
"Under which conditions would you accept the election of Ahmadinejad, and if you do accept it without any significant changes in the conditions there isn't that a betrayal of what the demonstrators there are working for?"
Accusing the president of betraying the demonstrators in Iran? Clearly a set up. And with all the extensive reporting Milbank did on the LEGITIMATE Gannon controversy (Zero Columns), I'm glad he's chosen now to unleash his outrage.
Anyway, somehow his outrage lasted into the weekend when Pitney and Milbank faced off on Howard Kurtz's CNN show. There was a predictably heated exchange between the two, where once again, Milbank refused back up any of his claims that Obama's team asked Pitney for a softball. That part was predictable. What happened next, according Pitney himself, was not:
The only thing that surprised me was when Dana turned to me after our initial sparring and called me a "dick" in a whispered tone (the specific phrase was, I believe, "You're such a dick"). Howie Kurtz wrote on Twitter that he didn't hear it, which is understandable -- he was doing the lead-in for the next part of the segment on the ABC White House special. But it happened (I urge Howie to watch the video of the panel during the ABC intro) and it was frankly pretty odd.
And with that, it was born:

Read Reads are retellings of great literature, each story fitted into a 64 page book. the books make classic stories, dramas and histories available to young readers as a bridge to full texts, to language students wanting access to other cultures, and to teen readers who are unlikely to read the original versions.
The Dark Man series has won great acclaim for its ability to engage older, very reluctant readers. Starting at just 200 words a book and focusing on the key high frequency words, Dark Man offers older readers strong, atmospheric storylines combined with powerful black and white illustrations. Reading age 5-8, Interest Age 11 and up.
Reading Quest is a software programme, with associated Chapter Books, written for a target audience of reluctant teenage readers with very low reading ages. It consists of four separate Quests that have ascending reading age levels.
A new series of fiction reading books with a particular focus on key PSHE (personal, social and health education) topics. With a high interest age of 13+ and a moderate reading age of 10+ these books are also ideal for reluctant and struggling readers.


One of the first pieces of advice I was given when I got to university was, "Make sure you get as much work experience as possible before you graduate." Seeing as I'll be graduating shortly, I've been taking this advice to heart more than ever.
Why? Not only are you gaining workplace experience, but also because internships can count towards your degree if your academic department allows it (like one of mine does): you might get to kill two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, it's not as easy as waking up in the morning and magically becoming an intern by proclaiming, "I going to work at *insert organization/company here*!" Turns out, there's a lot of work behind cold-calling (or more so, cold-emailing), reaching out to prospective workplaces, and navigating the world of jobs. To learn more, I attended a panel called "Internships: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" at the 2019 Next Steps Conference.
For those who don't know: the Next Steps Conference is an annual event to help students and recent graduates reach their "next step" (hence the name) after getting their degree. The conference has every topic a career-curious student would be interested in, from jobs in research to the factors in deciding to be an entrepreneur.
The smaller the organization, the better. Smaller organizations tend to accept additional help more readily. Thankfully, I've been sending emails to organizations in a very niche field, but be warned: smaller organizations are more likely to take on unpaid interns than paid ones. One panelist suggested asking yourself the question, "Should I get paid?" Another panelist, a criminal lawyer, mentioned that you might need to "rough it out" if you get the internship position you want but it ends up being unpaid.
Another tip is to have your elevator pitch ready. What can you do for this organization? Stay relevant and present. Although short can be sweet, it sounds like throwing a bit of personality into cold-emails wouldn't hurt. Why are you the right fit? It's okay to talk about why you want to intern for a particular organization.
And finally, one of the most important things is to know what you don't want to do. I've gone ahead and made a Google Doc of all the places I can apply to, but should I be applying to all of them? In a frenzy to nail down an internship for next year, I've forgotten to ask myself if I'd even want to intern at some of the places I've considered cold-emailing. Would I really be a good fit?

Lily Allen Concert Review
by Ms I-Hua | Jun 13, 2009 | Concerts, Lifestyle | 0 comments
Ahh… it was a packed venue. Sold out with the only chance via eBay or so the radio DJ announced previously…
I've always been a fan of Ms Lily Rose Allen. From her MySpace days to her current twitter bashing on Perez days. She is an exciting person to watch and talented too.
The opening act was alright. Electro Pop band from Sydney. Nothing exciting there.
The the white screen dropped to reveal, Ms Lily and her band!
She started the concert with "Back to the Start" from her new album.
It was really hard to take a good shot, she was moving around so much, and there were a lot of TALL people standing right in the middle of the crowd… sigh… 1 reason why I hate GA's so much…
She was drinking (white wine) she said.
She also performed her cover of Kaiser Chief's Oh My God.
This looks like the same picture but it isn't.
There was a funny point in the concert where she mentioned she could smell cigarette smoke and told the crowd that she was warned beforehand about lighting a ciggy on stage. Apparently it was a $10k fine and after converting it to "English", was still too heavy a penalty. To which people started throwing ciggies at her to tempt her! It was funny…
She got hot and started stripping!.. Nah…
She ended the concert with the eagerly awaited and anticipated "F**k You!", which everyone happily screamed/sang along to.
She came back out for her encore, with a new top and performed, Smile and The Fear…
AND ended it with an awesome rendition of "WOMANIZER" by Britney!!!
Other random highlights was spotting Rove McManus amongst the VIP guests, and they were all stuck in their area, as everyone was pushing to exit. Caught a glimpse of Natalie Bassingwaithe as well as Josh Thomas the dude from the show, "Talking about your generation", and he's Gen-Y.
All in all, a great performance (Credit to Lily and her Showmanship and ability to sing live!) and a decent venue.
