LIGHTYEAR ONE BY GRANSTUDIO, HOLISTIC VISION
Home/DESIGN STORY/LIGHTYEAR ONE BY GRANSTUDIO, HOLISTIC VISION
How can a car bring ethics to everyday mobility and still combine, harmoniously, the needs of today's society with respect for nature? "Through an approach that takes into account user needs, packaging, style, aerodynamics and feasibility", says Lowie Vermeersch, founder and Creative Director of Granstudio, who worked with his team to develop the Lightyear One, the first solar-powered car to reach the market.
"We came into contact with the world of solar-powered vehicles a few years ago, when we gave our styling support to a team of students from the University of Eindhoven that had won the World Solar Challenge. It was the initiative of some of those students that led to the Dutch Lightyear start-up and the concept of this car", he says.
"Working on this project has been a testing but highly stimulating challenge. The brief was to develop a car that would be attractive to a family of five and that would incorporate 5 square metres of solar panelling in the roof. A daunting task", Vermeersch smiles, "because aerodynamics requires a convergence of lines, while solar panels, by their nature, demand parallelism".
"The key was to make the car capable of unprecedented energy efficiency in this category, with a Cx below 0.20, focusing on the values of aerodynamics and weight, the same baseline parameters that our studio uses in the development of high performance cars such as the Dallara Stradale", adds Lowie Vermeersch.
On the back of the synergy that materialised working with Lightyear designers, the Granstudio team has been able to combine its "performance design" skills with the values of the newborn Dutch brand as identified by their Brand Design Chief Koen Van Ham. Concepts such as freedom of use (the car recharges autonomously and allows you to travel even where there is no electrical infrastructure) and usability, as well as the desire to create a positive model related to the car, guided the project.
"Right from the very first sketches, the word "explorer" was often associated with the concept. An idea that translated into the layout of the One and was then developed entirely virtually, except for the physical ergonomic verification model", says Virgilio Fernandez Hernandez, Chief Designer of the project for Granstudio. During the first stage of the work, in which Chief Designer Goran Popovic was responsible for the design setup, the creation of a "holistic" 3D model made it possible to view a synthesis between aesthetic aspects and technical and ergonomic content.
"In that moment we experimented with various solutions for the profile. The amount of surface occupied by the solar panels, however, led us in the direction of a long-tailed silhouette that we shortened visually by inserting the darker parts into the lower part of the side and the rear. The result of this was also to give the vehicle a more robust appearance, in line with the concept of exploration and freedom», says Vermeersch.

Movies That Matter – The Great Debaters
"The Great Debaters," is a heavily fictionalized but true story of Professor Melvin Tolson, who in 1935-36 coached the debate team from an all-black college in Marshall Texas to a nearly undefeated season that sees the first debate between U.S. students from white and Negro colleges. Their impressive run leads to an invitation to face Harvard University's national champions.
The movie apparently received a lot of criticism when it came out. There were a lot of big names attached – Denzel Washington directed the movie while Oprah Winfrey was one of the producers. There are apparently many changes (for example the national champions who invited the debate team at Wiley College, was USC and not Harvard).
But I think those critics miss the point – not least that this is a heavily fictionalized account and was never suggested as anything else. The movie has great acting performances, scenes that have you sweating with fear for the characters, or close to tears of joy or sadness.
If that doesn't cut it for you, this movie highlights both the gross historical racism that this country was founded upon, and the transformative potential of education. It pitches David .v. Goliath, freedom .v. privilege, and inspires the notion of teamwork and perseverance.
For me, beyond the erudite display of the power and artistry of words, the character of the Wiley College team coach stands out. Melvin B. Tolson, the noted poet, social activist and educator, is not necessarily loveable. He is self-righteous, autocratic and fearless, Mr. Washington's Tolson reminded me of the stern East London schoolteacher played by Sidney Poitier 40 years ago in "To Sir, With Love." I almost pursued a career as a teacher after watching this movie.
There is a powerful scene where Tolson, driving home from a debate with his students, comes upon a lynching. The imagery of this hideous atrocity sear your mind, and you are sweating when the mob, still riled with blood lust, chase the car. Afterward, Henry's shame and stifled fury drive him to a self-destructive spree. This is a powerful scene in its own right, and an aspect that Hollywood often ignores.
"The Great Debaters" still sends an important message. In these turbulent times, as our economy makes a seismic shift and people stand shakily on the edge of the chasm or even fall over the edge, we need more than ever and the transformative power of education and words.

Mammoths Now
The concept of de-extinction, recovering long-extinct species, was until recently in the realm of science fiction. But no longer. In the University of California they are developing technology to isolate strands of working DNA from extinct species, using hair, teeth, bones and other remnants.
Take, for example, the wooly mammoth—a species of furr
Take, for example, the wooly mammoth—a species of furry elephant whose habitat is in frigid climates. Its frozen remains have been found in the tundra of Siberia, near the Arctic Circle. Because the bodies were frozen, the genes are remarkably preserved, and almost the complete genome has already been mapped. Now the researchers are attempting to bring the wooly mammoth back to life through hybridization—splicing its genes together with its nearest living relative, the Asiatic elephant. This will create a creature not exactly like the wooly mammoth of the past but one that shares many similar traits.
Researchers are still unsure exactly which wooly mammoth genes are necessary to recreate its most essential characteristics, such as the shaggy fur, small ears, and special receptors in the skin that make it less sensitive to heat and cold. Still, the prospect of bringing a long-extinct creature back to life has captured scientific imagination.
The question now is not whether we can but whether we should. What will be the long-term effects of reintroducing the wooly mammoth to the Siberian tundra? Will it be able to survive, or will the same conditions that drove it to extinction wipe it out once again? Finally, what will be the return on investment for all the research dollars poured into this investigation? Will anyone benefit from wooly mammoths roaming the earth again?
If the bones or teeth of a long-dead creature have enough DNA to reconstruct the entire animal, what's to stop researchers from bringing the dead back to life? Can an intact human body be restored from buried remnants? Even if scientists could somehow bring the body back to life, what of its soul? At most they could recreate a creature as an embryo, which would then have to be implanted into a live surrogate mother to develop into a live animal.
But what scientists can do in a laboratory dwarfs in comparison to what is going on under our noses every second of the day. Each drop of water or handful of soil is teeming with millions of tiny creatures, carrying out billions of sophisticated life processes that put the most advanced laboratory to shame.
The real resurrection of the dead will not come about through genetic manipulation, but as an open miracle of the Creator of all flesh. Advances in science today merely give us a foretaste of the era of revelation that awaits us.

The Final Take
An offering from Hush Interactive which describes itself as dark footage, first-person horror. This is right up my street as you may have already figured out from my previous horror themed reviews. At 54p in the Steam Sale (price correct as of 24.8.16) it would be a crime not to give it a whirl.
From the title screen the found footage style is apparent from the interference and scan lines making you want to fiddle with the tracking on the VCR. This takes me back to many a time trying to get my old copy of Return of the Jedi working and also invokes films such as Paranormal Activity. Xbox controller or keyboard can be used to play through the game.
Eerie noises and sound affects echo out from the loading screen, this is a good start!
The game consists of four chapters, each admittedly quite short, but this is a bargain basement priced game and sometimes it is nice to complete a game in one sitting rather than battling with it for weeks!
Chapter 1 - The Interview. Starting out with a voice recording, it hints at many a horror film. The character hears about a job at an old nursing home and wanting to make her father proud, she sets out.
Moving from this introduction screen, we are now exploring the new place of work through a distorted 80's camcorder. The game looks like you are playing a found footage film; shaky and poor quality. While this makes it difficult to see what is happening, the very fact you cant see what is happening, is indeed what makes the game scary.
Similar to Outlast, you view the game through a video camera, the only light being that of your mobile phone. Walking around the environment you can find notes and recordings for additional fluff and story. The entire game has that camcorder grain like you are watching a VHS recording. Seems unusual that the character has a modern phone, but an old VCR camcorder. Maybe I'm overthinking things as this certainly doesn't detract from the game itself.
The game has some spooky concepts. Entering a ward in the hospital it is slightly unnerving to find the beds filled with inanimate mannequins. This is escalated when you start seeing apparitions!
The sounds are weird, almost verging on a low rhythmic chant at times.
No form of map does make it a bit unnerving and certainly more realistic. This was a good touch. So many branching corridors indicates there is lots to explore.
Random notes on the door are freaky and give some context to the exploration.
Interacting with one door, uncovered a puzzle which needed to be solved before the door unlocked and allowed me to proceed. I wasn't expecting any puzzles within the game, so this was a nice little touch to break up wandering around in the dark holding my breath! I was looking forward to more puzzles as the game progressed, however, this was the only one.
You can run in the game, however, the character puts down her light while doing this making it more difficult to see what is happening. Do you want speed or light... that is the question?!
What really adds to the atmosphere of the game however, are the audio recordings that you stumble across where you hear about events that have transpired and gives your exploration in this first chapter some context.
After running from a freaky shadow figure (who is naturally crawling along the floor in homage to The Ring), we get to Chapter Two: Down Memory Lane. The second chapter is played though the eyes of another character.
What is a nice touch here is that the character doesn't initially see through their own eyes, but instead through the camcorder viewfinder. This does leave a lot of eerie dark space around the screen. The character can switch between camcorder and flashlight.... without giving too much away, different things can be seen using different pieces of technology. A great touch!
This second level has a very quiet music, the main sound being a repetitive noise, not at all unsettling! (At least that is what I am telling myself!!) As it gets louder, you know that soon death will be your friend! I think if I were to reply, I would do so with headphones as feel this would make the game more atmospheric.
In terms of graphics, the rooms are very 'samey'. This makes it confusing in terms of remembering where you need to go and where you have already been. This adds another level of frustration.
Chapter Three: Deep Below returns to the character we met in Chapter One. Some of the voice acting is not the greatest, however, this can be forgiven given due to the cost of the game. Chapter 2 was a nice concept, but not as good; try and get through it. The female character is more unsettling, and strangely, more enjoyable to play. Some backtracking involved once you've found certain triggers to unlock escape routes, but not excessively so. As soon as getting back into the swing of things with this character, the chapter ended, making this the shortest chapter in the game.
Chapter Four: A Dark Past. The same character. Not quite sure why this couldn't have been merged with Chapter Three. Chapter Four has the same goal of collecting things as chapter two. Not quite so interesting the second time around, especially as I can now see everything again being able to use phone (light) and camcorder at the same time. Finding photos in series of very similar rooms, is neither fun nor scary.
In summary, the game cost me 54p for 30 minutes of entertainment and I can't grumble at that. It is a good hint at what Hush Interactive may be able to produce in the future, however, focussing more on the scares and less on the running around and collecting things and this game would have scored higher in my opinion. It started with a good concept, but it ran out of steam becoming a bit too samey near the end. My final thoughts after completing the end of the game was it was boring in comparison to the promise the first half showed.
The Final Take is available on Steam and currently on offer for 54p. (Normal price £1.59).

Here at Gilston Building Services, we know how important it is that your home stays watertight and weatherproof over the winter. While snow and freezing temperatures can be a big problem for your brickwork, rain can be an issue for your guttering. As a result, it is a good idea to check over your building to make sure its in top condition, before the cold really sets in. These are our winter building maintenance tips.
Check your guttering isnt blocked- if your gutters are full of leaves and debris they cant really get rid of the water effectively. In addition, during heavy rain, they may carry this debris down into your down pipe. If this is the case, your down pipe may leak water and stain your brickwork leading to future damage.
Check your guttering is sitting right- if your guttering is sagging, or facing the wrong way, you could have a problem. Guttering that is sloping can cause water to cascade over your walls and this will lead to water damage in the future. If your gutters need repairing, do it now before the cold spells, and use the same material as the existing framework.
Check your drains- drains that are blocked with leaves and twigs cannot function properly. So if you have a heavy rain spell, the drain will quickly overflow causing flooding and damage.
Have a look at your brickwork-if your exterior brickwork is looking a little warn, and the mortar is wearing off, you might want to do some repairs. This is because over the winter, any small imperfection will become much larger and cause much bigger problems.
Fill in any cracks- if there are any cracks, either in your guttering, your brickwork, or the cladding of your home, get them filled in. Over the winter, if ice freezes in these cracks, they will become bigger and bigger, exposing more of your home to the elements, and the damage that can bring.

HomeTech/ScienceNASA, ESA Solar Orbiter to examine the Sun's Poles
NASA, ESA Solar Orbiter to examine the Sun's Poles

Greenbelt, MD – NASA says a new spacecraft is journeying to the Sun to snap the first pictures of the Sun's north and south poles.
Solar Orbiter, a collaboration between the European Space Agency, or ESA, and NASA, will have its first opportunity to launch from Cape Canaveral on February 7th, 2020, at 10:15pm CST.
Launching on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, the spacecraft will use Venus's and Earth's gravity to swing itself out of the ecliptic plane — the swath of space, roughly aligned with the Sun's equator, where all planets orbit.
From there, Solar Orbiter's bird's eye view will give it the first-ever look at the Sun's poles.
"Up until Solar Orbiter, all solar imaging instruments have been within the ecliptic plane or very close to it," said Russell Howard, space scientist at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C. and principal investigator for one of Solar Orbiter's ten instruments. "Now, we'll be able to look down on the Sun from above."
"It will be terra incognita," said Daniel Müller, ESA project scientist for the mission at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in the Netherlands. "This is really exploratory science."

The Sun plays a central role in shaping space around us. Its massive magnetic field stretches far beyond Pluto, paving a superhighway for charged solar particles known as the solar wind. When bursts of solar wind hit Earth, they can spark space weather storms that interfere with our GPS and communications satellites — at their worst, they can even threaten astronauts.
To prepare for arriving solar storms, scientists monitor the Sun's magnetic field. But their techniques work best with a straight-on view; the steeper the viewing angle, the noisier the data. The sidelong glimpse we get of the Sun's poles from within the ecliptic plane leaves major gaps in the data.
"The poles are particularly important for us to be able to model more accurately," said Holly Gilbert, NASA project scientist for the mission at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "For forecasting space weather events, we need a pretty accurate model of the global magnetic field of the Sun."
The Sun's poles may also explain centuries-old observations. In 1843, German astronomer Samuel Heinrich Schwabe discovered that the number of sunspots — dark blotches on the Sun's surface marking strong magnetic fields — waxes and wanes in a repeating pattern.
Today, we know it as the approximately-11-year solar cycle in which the Sun transitions between solar maximum, when sunspots proliferate and the Sun is active and turbulent, and solar minimum, when they're fewer and it's calmer. "But we don't understand why it's 11 years, or why some solar maximums are stronger than others," Gilbert said. Observing the changing magnetic fields of the poles could offer an answer.
The only prior spacecraft to fly over the Sun's poles was also a joint ESA/NASA venture. Launched in 1990, the Ulysses spacecraft made three passes around our star before it was decommissioned in 2009. But Ulysses never got closer than Earth-distance to the Sun, and only carried what's known as in situ instruments — like the sense of touch, they measure the space environment immediately around the spacecraft.

Solar Orbiter, on the other hand, will pass inside the orbit of Mercury carrying four in situ instruments and six remote-sensing imagers, which see the Sun from afar. "We are going to be able to map what we 'touch' with the in situ instruments and what we 'see' with remote sensing," said Teresa Nieves-Chinchilla, NASA deputy project scientist for the mission.
After years of technology development, it will be the closest any Sun-facing cameras have ever gotten to the Sun. "You can't really get much closer than Solar Orbiter is going and still look at the Sun," Müller said.
Over the mission's seven year lifetime, Solar Orbiter will reach an inclination of 24 degrees above the Sun's equator, increasing to 33 degrees with an additional three years of extended mission operations. At closest approach the spacecraft will pass within 26 million miles of the Sun.
To beat the heat, Solar Orbiter has a custom-designed titanium heat shield with a calcium phosphate coating that withstands temperatures over 900 degrees Fahrenheit — thirteen times the solar heating faced by spacecraft in Earth orbit. Five of the remote-sensing instruments look at the Sun through peepholes in that heat shield; one observes the solar wind out to the side.
Solar Orbiter will be NASA's second major mission to the inner solar system in recent years, following on August 2018's launch of Parker Solar Probe. Parker has completed four close solar passes and will fly within four million miles of the Sun at closest approach.
The two spacecraft will work together: As Parker samples solar particles up close, Solar Orbiter will capture imagery from farther away, contextualizing the observations. The two spacecraft will also occasionally align to measure the same magnetic field lines or streams of solar wind at different times.
"We are learning a lot with Parker, and adding Solar Orbiter to the equation will only bring even more knowledge," said Nieves-Chinchilla.
Solar Orbiter is an international cooperative mission between the European Space Agency and NASA. ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in The Netherlands manages the development effort. The European Space Operations Center (ESOC) in Germany will operate Solar Orbiter after launch. Solar Orbiter was built by Airbus Defense and Space, and contains 10 instruments: nine provided by ESA member states and ESA. NASA provided one instrument suite, SoloHI and provided detectors and hardware for three other instruments.

Stretching out for almost 250,000 hectares, the Blue Mountains National Park in New South Wales, Australia, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. With a wide range of outdoor attractions, from walking trails to Aboriginal rock art, this park is the ideal place to explore some of Eastern Australia's natural beauty.
The Blue Mountains National Park is home to an almost seemingly-endless trail of walking tracks, but if you are only visiting the park for a short time, the Cliff Top Walking Track, between Evans and Govetts Leap, is where you will find the most breathtaking views in the area, along with native birds and colorful wildflowers. If you are visiting the park with young children, then it is important that you pick a walk that is not too long, and will appeal to their ages. The Jellybean Track is perfect for this, as it leads you to the magical-feeling Jellybean Pool, where you can swim or lilo in the calm waters. For those who are visiting with history buffs, the Charles Darwin Walk is a must, as this allows you to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Charles Darwin, who walked this same path in 1836.
Other than walking, cycling is one of the most popular ways to explore the park, and the Burramoko Ridge Hanging Rock Cycle Trail is one of the most dramatic routes that you could choose, making it ideal for more adventurous cyclists. The Narrow Neck Trail is another one for those who are seeking an adrenaline rush, as it is quite an elevated platform, but also has picture-perfect views.
Camping is one of the best ways to truly immerse yourself in the incredible beauty of the Blue Mountains National Park, and the Ingar Campground is one of the most family friendly options available. Located near Wentworth Falls, this campground offers a wide range of activities, from mountain biking to paddling to canoeing. For those that want to spend the night close to some native wildlife, the Euroka Campground, which is located near Glenbrook, has always been extremely popular with the local kangaroo population, while the Murphys Glen Campground, near Woodford, is home to a diverse array of bird life.
If you are visiting Australia for the first time, the Blue Mountains Heritage Centre in Blackheath should be your first point of call, as not only does this provide in-depth information on activities available within the park, but it also boasts some truly educational displays on Aboriginal heritage, as well as the park itself. One of the most popular points of interest within the park is the Blue Gum Forest, which features grand eucalyptus trees, is the perfect example of a closed forest, and is a haven for birds and other wildlife. The Red Hands Cave is also worth checking out, as this is where you will find one of the best examples of Aboriginal rock art in the entire park.
The Blue Mountains National Park has so many significant geographic, botanic and cultural highlights that it is really worth trying to spend as much time as possible exploring it. This is a park that dates all the way back to 1825, providing you with the ideal opportunity to truly immerse yourself in the spirit of Australia.

Loved it. Beautiful shots of the American prairie and its animals. The story is slow at times, but there are so many great scenes that it's worth it. The story is done many times (pocahontas and avatar come to mind), but this is an excellent effort, where I genuinely hated the army guys and got really intrigued by the Indian way of life. Of course there should've been more nuances (not every Indian should be a good guy, not every American should be violence-obsessed), and the movie should've been shorter, but overall it's a great movie, with many many great shots!
There was very little dancing and only one wolf.
But seriously, this is great. A little long and slow, I watched the extended cut. Kevin Costner and Graham Greene are both good. Still a little upset this beat Goodfellas for best picture.
Dont watch the Director's cut....almost ruined the movie for me...waaaaay too long only to add nothing worth remembering...still love watching ol Sunkmanitu Tanka Owaci get Spivey haha good times...."good trade"

Choosing an image to convey the sudden crash and fall of scores of dot-com companies, Inter@ctiveWeek, an Internet-economy trade magazine, resorted to a photo from the 1950s: Charlton Heston as Moses, from Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments. A wild-eyed Heston lofts above his head the two tablets containing the commandments—and anyone remotely familiar with the story could tell what happens next.
The headline accompanying the photo said it all to the Internet industry readership: old rules rule. The failure of dozens of cash-laden companies to reap vast sales through snappy Web sites and Super Bowl ads brought many of these high flyers fast down to Earth, with their firms and investors in shambles. The old rules of having a solid business plan and making a profit before launching out into the stock market were back with a vengeance.
Dot-coms aimed at the Christian market haven't fared much better. Heavily promoted iBelieve.com lasted less than nine months before a sudden rapture to the land of deceased startups. Another, iChristian.com, made it from November 1999 to July 2000 before being swallowed up by Massachusetts-based Christian Book Distributors, a "brick-and-mortar" mail-order bookseller that also has a successful Web site (christianbook.com). And in December, Nashville-based Gaylord Entertainment pulled the plug on Christian Web sites Musicforce.com (a cd store) and Lightsource.com (which partnered with portal site Yahoo! to provide Christian audio programs).

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is a professional organization of psychiatrists in the United States. On December 15th, 1973, the APA voted 13-0 to remove homosexuality from its official list of psychiatric disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This decision came after years of discussion and debate within the psychiatric community about the classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder.
Prior to the APA's decision, homosexuality was considered a mental illness and was listed as such in the DSM. This classification was based on the belief that homosexuality was a form of sexual deviance and that it was caused by psychological or emotional problems. Many psychiatrists and other mental health professionals believed that homosexuality could be cured through therapy and other forms of treatment.
However, in the decades leading up to the APA's decision, a growing body of scientific evidence began to challenge this view. Researchers found that homosexuality was not a result of psychological or emotional problems but was rather a normal variant of human sexuality. Additionally, they found that attempts to "cure" homosexuality were often ineffective and could even be harmful to the individuals undergoing such treatments.
In light of this new evidence, the APA decided to remove homosexuality from the DSM and to no longer classify it as a mental disorder. This decision was a major milestone in the history of psychiatry and was a significant step toward greater acceptance of homosexuality in American society. It also helped pave the way for the legalization of same-sex marriage and other rights for LGBTQ individuals in the United States.

DADaPalooza: Busy weekend for children's theatre in Chicago!
Busy weekend for children's theatre in Chicago!
This weekend my wife is away, which turns out to be the perfect timing-- that means that my son and I can go to some children's theatre without feeling bad about not including her.
Speaking of adventures, tonight we are attending the Chicago Children's Theatre opening night of the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
It's based on the best-selling kid's book, which was written by Newberry award winner Kate DiCamillo. Ms. DiCamillo also wrote Tales of Desperaux and the book Because of Winn-Dixie.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is the story of a very dapper china rabbit named Edward Tulane who gets lost at sea, bounces from person to person and decade to decade until the audience is shown a true miracle, and Edward discovers the transformative power of love. And of course, along the way, this porcelain rabbit has plenty of adventures and intrigue.
To find out more about the story, check out http://www.edwardtulane.com/. It has some great video excerpts talking with the author and the illustrator about the process of writing the book. It also has a great Teacher's guide to the book, which will be useful in talking to students about the show.
The show is playing at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts in the Gold Coast 1016 N. Dearborn Street, and will run through November 15. To find out more about the show, and to purchase tickets, visit the Chicago Children's Theatre event page.
On Sunday, we are going to attend another kid's theatre show, also based on a book. We are attending the Emerald City Theatre production of The Magic Treehouse: A Night In New Orleans.
As you probably know, the Magic TreeHouse is a series of books by Mary Pope Osborne. The series features a brother and sister (Jack and Annie) who discover a (surprise) Magic TreeHouse. The treehouse is filled with magic books, and the books take the pair on a number of adventures through time, space, and literature. Throughout the series they've visited dinosaurs, Camelot, ancient Egypt, outer space, and to a bunch of other places as well. There are over 50 Magic Treehouse books, and many of them have fact checking companion books that present the stories and places of the book in a non-fictional context.
This musical play is based on the book A Good Night For Ghosts.
Louis Armstrong plays some music for Jack and Annie.
In it, the treehouse brings the brother and sister adventurers to 1915 New Orleans, where they hear jazz music, get on a steamboat, eat jambalaya, and help a very young Louis Armstrong on his way to become the King of Jazz. There's plenty of ragtime music, lots of dancing, and a great amount of learning and fun.
This show is aimed at kids ages 5-13, and is being presented through January 2 at the Apollo Theatre, 2540 North Lincoln Ave in Lakeview.
To find out more about the show and to buy tickets, visit the show page.
I should also mention that Emerald City has two shows for younger kids also in rotation.
Dragons Love Tacos (for ages 3-8) at the Apollo Theatre, and Three Little Kittens (for ages 0-5) playing at the Little Theatre on Southport.


It is hard to believe that a modern (even "avant-garde") architect ever mentioned the word "transcendental," let alone saying that we must be subordinate to it (i.e. to the "transcendental") ... But this is exactly what the great German architect Bruno Taut did.
He was also the one who had the courage, at Weissenhof, in Stuttgart, to build a house that refused to be white, as opposed to most of the other architects, including Le Corbusier, who was otherwise quite colorful in his paintings, but not really in his architecture.
Indeed, the obsession with whiteness is a fundamental one in modern architecture. The "savage" color is reserved for "artworks," but not really for buildings... very rarely it was and is different. No doubt, Adolf Loos was right: people love home and hate art. Simplifying, we might almost say that people love their white homes and hate their colored art (even if they do buy it, either as an "investment" or as an "accessory" - both a terrible insult to art).
But Taut was different. He refused the red painting to hang placidly on the white wall. Instead, he made the wall, red.
We ask you to design A House for Bruno Taut.
For that very complex architect who, again, had the courage to use a word that was, and still is, taboo: TRANSCENDENTAL. And he asked us to submit to it (i.e. to the transcendental).
Should we add anything more...? Perhaps that the book he published, called "Alpine Architecture" (which can be acquired inexpensively through Amazon.com) still needs serious investigation. It is an "Utopian" book, yes, if by "Utopian" one understands a leaning towards one's longings, as opposed to one's more measurable projections.
But we need these longings badly, since they make us dream of a better world!
Is there any need to advocate their deep-seated raison d'etre...?

UK virus breaches 'costing lives' as police seek priority jabs
Tuesday, 12 Jan 2021 06:33 PM MYT
People walk across Millennium bridge in central London as Britain is in its third lockdown due to the coronavirus January 12, 2021. — AFP pic
LONDON, Jan 12 — People who flout coronavirus lockdown rules are putting lives at risk, the British government said today, as cases surge to record highs and rumours swirl of potentially tougher restrictions.
Britain is currently in its third lockdown, with schools and non-essential shops closed, as a new strain of the virus spreads rapidly across the country.
Last week saw the country's worst daily case numbers and death tolls since the start of the outbreak, and the government is considering even tougher rules, which could include increasing the distance people need to stay apart in public.
Government minister Kit Malthouse said the situation was "very, very perilous" but not everyone was complying with stay-at-home orders.
"A small minority of people are flouting the rules and they are costing people their lives," he told Sky News.
"Whether there are going to be greater restrictions or not very depends on the numbers," said Malthouse, whose brief includes crime and policing.
"This virus is moving so quickly that the government is having to make very very agile decisions about the way we live our lives."
More than 81,000 people have died and over three million tested positive for Covid, with restrictions imposed to curb the spread upending daily life.
But evidence of people ignoring social distancing guidelines, despite warnings that a new variant of the virus is highly transmissible, has led to speculation rules could be toughened.
'False complacency'
Supermarket staff have voiced concerns over the risks they face during the outbreak, with shop workers' union Usdaw urging tougher in-store measures.
Retail bosses have suggested that they receive police support to help enforce measures.
Britain's most senior police officer, London Metropolitan Police commissioner Cressida Dick, said the force was now "moving more quickly to enforcement" against those breaking the rules.
"I don't want people to get the idea that this is sort of dictatorial policing, it's really not, it is common sense," she told BBC radio.
The government is banking on a huge vaccination programme to help lift lockdown restrictions, which are expected to be in place until at least mid-February.
Some 2.4 million people have already received jabs.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson yesterday warned of "false confidence, false complacency" because of the vaccine roll-out, and called on people to "do the right thing".
"We need to enforce the rules in supermarkets. When people are getting takeaway drinks, in cafes, then they need to avoid spreading the disease there, avoid mingling too much," he said.
Police chiefs are also worried that their staff are being exposed to the virus when enforcing the rules.
Dick today asked the government to consider making vaccinations a priority for frontline police officers and staff who interact with the public, and said it was being "actively discussed".
Malthouse said the police "have a strong case" for priority vaccinations, once the most vulnerable people have received their jabs. — AFP

Shah Rukh Khan to start shooting in Raj and DK's comic-action thriller
As of now, the directors are still finalising the script and will finalise the shoot locations soon.

(File Photo: IANS)
Bollywood King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan is currently enjoying his break from acting but is going to make a comeback soon. SRK, who was last seen in Anand L Rai's Zero announced on his birthday that he has taken a break from films to spend some quality time with his family and will be back when he finds an exciting script. It seems that SRK has got that interesting script.
According to Mumbai Mirror, Shah Rukh will be next seen in a big-budget comic-action thriller directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, who wrote and directed crime comedy 99, Go Goa Gone, Shor in the City amongst other projects.
"The film is infused with Raj and DK's brand of quirky humour. It is a space he hasn't explored yet," the source has been quoted as saying.
The film will be reportedly produced by the Jab Tak Hai Jaan actor himself and will be shot in exotic locations around India and abroad.
The untitled film is expected to release in 2021. The report also says that Shah Rukh will be seen in another movie which is more in the 'feel-good drama zone'.

RAILWAYS & THE RAJ
How the age of steam transformed India.
India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, an Empire that needed a rail network to facilitate exploitation and reflect its ambition. But, by building India's railways, Britain radically changed the nation and unwittingly planted the seed of independence. As Indians were made to travel in poor conditions and were barred from the better paid railway jobs, a stirring of resentment and nationalist sentiment grew.

K-pop Throwback: Back To Shinhwa's Roots With "T.O.P"
Welcome to the next edition of K-pop Throwback, where we visit a veteran idol group's boyish past. Touted endlessly as the longest-surviving-intact idol group, Shinhwa recently celebrated their 17th (!) anniversary on March 24. And just earlier this month, they released their 12th full-length album We, whose title song "Sniper" went on to achieve all-kills on music shows. These ahjusshis definitely know how to slay.
Going back to their beginnings, Shinhwa debuted on March 24, 1998, with "Resolver", as six teenagers dressed in oversized shirts and pants. Touted as the 'it group' that would rival H.O.T, Shinhwa was expected to take the K-pop world by storm, following in the footsteps of their seniors S.E.S and H.O.T. Due to unprecedented bad timing, the IMF crisis struck Korea a week right after their much-anticipated debut, and their debut album Resolver charted with minimal success. They tried to regain momentum by following up with their second promotional track "Eusha Eusha". And, by sheer bad luck, their music video, which was filmed in a pool, couldn't be played on television because of insensitivity to a flood disaster that hit Korea.
Shinhwa kept on waiting for a possible turnaround in their situation, but none came. SM also chose to focus more on H.O.T and S.E.S, who were undoubtedly bigger and more profitable at that time. After months of promotion, their debut album still left them in the red, and they faced the cruel fate of possible disbandment.
Their second album T.O.P left them in a make-or-break situation. It was agreed with SM that if Shinhwa still didn't hit it big, the group would split, and the members would give up and go back to school. With little help from SM, Shinhwa managed the bulk of the second album's promotions on their own, choreographing themselves and bringing in composers and lyricists. As a group that failed the first attempt, they couldn't demand that effort and attention be taken away from their more successful seniors.
And, indeed, their sophomore effort was a huge hit. While "Eusha Eusha" boasted a cuter and boy-next-door image, "T.O.P (Twinkling of Paradise)" was their step towards an edgier and tougher concept. Even with minimal promotions, the sophomore album T.O.P spent 24 weeks on the charts before it dropped. It unexpectedly managed to recoup all the losses of the first album and signified the rise of Shinhwa.
"T.O.P" is identifiable by its haunting use of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" music score, elegant choreography lines and elaborate use of acronyms (anyone want to list and explain them?); for the first time, it gave the public a hint of Shinhwa's colour and style. "T.O.P" was Shinhwa's first significant commercial success, garnering a total of six music show wins, while accompanying title track "Yo" received seven later on. It's one of the iconic songs of K-pop, spurring countless covers by reigning idol groups, such as Super Junior, SNSD, Infinite, Teen Top and BTS. A Shinhwa signature, it's crazy to think that the Shinhwa we know today might have ceased to exist without it.
While most groups break down on stage during their first win, the members were reasonably calm — possible shell-shocked — bursting into tears only after they returned to their car. One by one, they called up their trainers and instructors to express their infinite gratitude. After their disappointment in their first album, it's no surprise their hard-earned success tasted all the sweeter.
Shinhwa's legend is something that's only achievable through impeccable teamwork, perfect chemistry and perfectly aligned stars. Although they never garnered the same amount of international fervour as their TVXQ juniors did, the six of them are recognized and respected industry-wide for their humility, hard work and solidarity.
And this is not to say the past seventeen years have been smooth-sailing either. They survived many trials and tribulations – Andy's hiatus, military service and even SM's attempt to re-sign only part of the group. Perhaps their longevity can be wholly attributed to Eric's leadership and the members' respect of him. In 2003, when Shinhwa's contract ended with SM, Eric, who was supposedly offered a contract four times that of the other members, took a one-fourth pay cut so that all the members could sign on together with Good Entertainment.
Such loyalty in idol groups is once in a blue moon, when you coincidentally put into the same group six good-natured boys who love each other and their fans more than themselves. They have experienced all sorts of ups and downs over the last seventeen years, but it's resulted in an even tighter bond between the boys. It's a heartwarming reminder that, yes, even in the corporate and unfeeling entertainment world, friendship is still possible.
Happy 17th Anniversary, Shinhwa! Please go on to celebrate your 27th, 37th, and even 47th anniversary.
