All behavior has meaning. Assess your behavior – your responses, your attitudes.
Try to see the behavior of others (good or bad) as none of your business.
Draw. Using stick figures of various shapes and sizes, draw your family according to the influence you perceive them to have.
Think about your patterns. Diagram your relationship traps and triangles.
Chart your position: how it's changed over the years and how you'd like to see it modified in the future.
Give the colors meaning. Track the information-flow.
Until you become your own Chief Executive Officer and Human Resource representative in your own family you will not see the changes you'd prefer. While you are not in charge of you, someone else will be.
Keep your drawing private. You are looking for change, not an argument.
Everyone sees his or her family differently because we all live in different families – EVEN if we are siblings.
Allow yourself, and everyone else, the kind of grace you'd like shoveled your way. This is partly what it means to accommodate homeostasis (yesterday's column). Allow for some degree of regression and failure on all of your parts.
Don't forget the power of homeostasis when making your New Year resolutions…..
When making your New Year resolutions – whether they involve very personal matters like ridding yourself of excess weight, changes you'd like to bring to your family, or how you conduct yourself at work – consider and respect the power of homeostasis.
This is the systemic pressure for things to return to "normal". It's the pressure that resists change. It's the force that wants things to go back to the way things were.
Think of the power of homeostasis as an influential undercurrent, an invisible force. It's why losing weight in the short term is easier than keeping it off in the long term. It's not only that you may just get slack about watching what you eat. It is more than that. Your body is reaching for, even aching for, a state it once knew.
Understanding homeostasis will help you understand why some people will leave one abusive relationship only to appear to welcome another.
It's why the "new broom" boss was only able to change things at work for a short time.
If you can accommodate the power of homeostasis in your plans you are more likely to succeed.
Understand this pressure is real.
Embrace it, build your plans around it, and you are more likely to harness it.
What gifts will you offer yourself and others in 2015?
I shall make every attempt to be clearer about what I need and what I want, knowing full well that clarity and definition on my part do not guarantee that I will get what I need and want.
I shall make every attempt to be softer and gentler with my opinions, clearer with my humor, and less terse when annoyed both in print and in person. Readers have been more gracious than I deserve in pointing out this necessity to me and my close friends have been kinder than I deserve in accommodating my strong views.
I will use my skills and my privileged platform to promote the gifts and the skills of others.
I will vet requests on my time more carefully than I have done in the past so that I may give myself more fully to the things I love and to the things about which I am passionate.
I will look for the treasure in others, treasure that is so often hidden behind tough façades.
Not like other children at Christmas….
Perhaps I was not like other children and the differences I experienced were as profound as they felt.
Perhaps all that separated me from what I perceived was the experience of other children was amplified in my young heart.
You know, you know how children are said to amplify things.
Who can tell these many years later?
But the things I wanted for Christmas when I was very young, and I mean as young as 7 and 8 and up until I was 10 and 11, required no batteries or remote devices or charging.
I wanted safe adults. I wanted adults whom I could trust. I wanted them sober. I wanted them sober all the time, not just in the mornings.
I wanted my dad to be as sober as my mother always was.
I wanted a peaceful home.
I wanted to live in a house where people didn't live on the edge of financial ruin and where the anxiety over lack of resources was not repeatedly temporarily eased by very excessive drinking.
You can think I am exaggerating if you want. I'm not.
I did get it – I got all I wanted for Christmas when I was 12.
Assess the level of urgency.
Does she need an ambulance or your presence?
If it's the latter, your presence is more important than your words.
Ask if she wants you to say anything at all.
If she tells you to be quiet, be quiet. Tell her you will sit with her in silence.
Allow the quietness between you to settle in, and this could take a long while, then tell her gently that you are willing to listen to her for as long as she wants to speak, and that you will not say a word while she talks or try to rearrange her thoughts or mess with her feelings.
If she tells you that you may talk, tell her very gently, after much silence, that there is help available to people who think that hurting themselves is helpful; that while her strong feelings that result in her inflicting pain upon herself may offer her a tangible outlet for her strong feelings, there are steps available toward more permanent relief from whatever she is facing.


Sounds like an ignition switch issue -- the electrical one in the steering columnn (not the key cylinder itself). Often times these melted and created problems. Check there first.
I had the same issue and a new ignition switch fixed it.

MacPainful: Apple Bows Out of Macworld Expo
By David Needle
Apple announced on Tuesday after the upcoming January 6-9, 2009 event, it will no longer exhibit at the venerable Macworld Expo conference. In a release, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) said it has steadily been scaling back on its trade show appearances. "Apple is reaching more people in more ways than ever before, so like many companies, trade shows have become a very minor part of how Apple reaches its customers," the release stated.
For those Mac fans planning to attend January's event in San Francisco, there was more bad news. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller will give the keynote instead of CEO Steve Jobs. Jobs high energy, hype-filled keynotes have been a staple of the show for years, usually punctuated by big product announcements.
While speculation about new products is usually rampant in the weeks leading up to each Macworld Expo, the rumor mill has been pretty quiet for this show.
There's talk Apple will introduce a more powerful version of its entry level Mac Mini and Schiller may preview the next version of the Mac's operating system, codenamed Snow Leopard. Apple already refreshed its MacBook notebook line in
October.
There's no buzz about any other new desktop hardware beyond an update to the Mac Mini, but you can never rule out Apple making a surprise announcement. There is some talk Apple is getting ready to introduce a lower-cost version of its hot-selling iPhone.
Apple typically doesn't confirm Jobs' appearance at Macworld Expo until a few weeks before the event, so this late notice isn't unusual. But Jobs has been the keynoter for most of the Macworld Expos, which up until recently ran twice a year, with one in Boston and one in San Francisco. Macworld Expo is a property of tech publisher IDG.
Analyst and longtime Apple-watcher Tim Bajarin said the announcement didn't surprise him. "Once Apple developed the Apple Stores and put money into driving traffic there, Macworld Expo just wasn't giving it the return on investment it did in the early days," Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, told InternetNews.com. "And if Steve calls a meeting or event for a product rollout, it gets just as much buzz and media attention."

PSO wants a rate hike, but state officials say rates should go down instead
Wednesday, January 5th 2005, 1:11 pm
As icy weather moves across northeastern Oklahoma, many folks are hoping Green Country doesn't get hit with a lot of power outages.
PSO is hoping for as few outages as possible, but the company is dealing with other power problems. PSO wants to raise your rates to make up for a budget shortfall and to fund service improvements, but the Oklahoma Corporation Commission disagrees and says rates should be going down instead.
News on 6 anchor Terry Hood says an commission review of PSO's books revealed the company is operating $40-million in the red. PSO says a rate hike is the only way to meet all of their customers' and the state's demands.
The company filed a proposal to raise rates to fund a power reliability project. The project would triple the number of tree trimming crews and would allow PSO to start burying electric lines in problem areas.
PSO says a rate decrease might not be a benefit for customers because it just can't see how the state expects them to do more with less. PSO spokesman Stan Whiteford: "We have cut and cut and cut. But we can't sustain further cuts and still be able to provide our customers with the service they expect and deserve."
This case is still far from being solved. There are hearings, rebuttal testimony, and commissioner deliberations still to come.

Very nice Dentist with great staff. The Doctor was very knowledgable and saved me lot of unnecessary work which another dentist had recommended. Would highly recommend them.
I am 65 years old. I have been advised by my previous dentists, since 2008, to get implants. I tried partials, which I would not keep in, so all of my partials ended up in a drawer! My cousin is a dental hygenist. I trust her judgment. She recommended Dr. Chandan Ahuja, DMD, @ AC DENTAL, E. Brunswick NJ, for a dental recommendation. Since 2008, I have lost 5 more teeth! I made an appointment with Dr. Chandan. Recommendation: 1 partial permanent bridge. 2 implants! I was very afraid of implants, bc of feedback from family members, who had implants, nevertheless, this was it!!! I either: continue to lose teeth annually, or save my remaining teeth. I decided to work with Dr. Chandan, bc he explained every procedure, and the entire office has excellent follow up! I ask 'tons of questions', and I'm not a person that uses medication. I consulted with my Nutritionist before making my final decision. I also have a LOW TOLERANCE FOR PAIN. My permanent bridge is in, my posts are in for my 2 implants (5-6 month process), I followed the recommended medication regimen for this procedure, and 'I'm STILL waiting for the PAIN!! lol! I experienced a little discomfort. NO MAJOR PAIN!! Dr. Chandan is AMAZING!!!

Schreiber-Bogen Card Modelling Eltz Castle
Item ID 695
Eltz Castle
Eltz Castle is one of the few castles in the Eifel which were never captured or destroyed. It is situated at a link road between the Moselle, the Eifel and the fertile Maifeld. The castle is surrounded on three sides by the River Elzbach. It stands on a 70 metre-high elliptical rock spur and the ground plan of the castle fits the shape of the rock crag.
Eltz Castle was probably founded as far back as the 12th century. Rudolf von Eltz is considered to be the founder of the castle. In the middle of the 13th century the von Eltz family split up to form separate clans, and the three main branches were the Rübenach, the Kempenich and the Rodendorf families. Since the early 14th century, Eltz Castle has been a "Ganerbenburg" (a castle of joint heirs), in which the different branches of the family lived as a community of joint heirs. The residential towers of these families are still named after them. Eltz Castle is still owned by the family up to the present day.
The main part of the castle consists of about 40 metre-high tower houses, the so-called "dynasty houses". The oldest residential towers, the Platteltz House and the Kempenich House, are built in the Romanesque style. The Rübenach House consists of eight storeys and stands out due to the striking little turrets which have half-timbering on the sides pointing to the courtyard. The castle chapel, which juts out into the courtyard, was also built in this tower house. The Gross-Rodendorf House has a façade of red and white half-timbering on the side pointing towards the fields. The outer castle buildings were added in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 19th century Count Karl zu Eltz had extensive restoration work carried out to the castle. In spite of the extreme care and consideration taken regarding the existing architecture, the restoration work cost about 8 million euros.
In the 17th and 18th centuries the family was extremely influential. In 1624 Hans Jakob zu Eltz was given the hereditary office of Field Marshall of Trier. At the same time this also made him the supreme commander of the Trier knighthood. More than sixty years later, the Prince Elector of Mainz, Philipp Karl zu Eltz, was considered to be the most powerful prince of the church north of the Alps.
Because of its situation and its architecture, Eltz Castle is an extremely popular place for excursions and for photographing. Eltz Castle has even appeared on the 500 DM banknote of the last but one DM banknote series and on a stamp from 1977. Eltz Castle was also the first place of interest to be mentioned on an autobahn signpost.

A city making festival in Turin asks citizens to dream bigger
From October 18 through 20, students, architects, planners, politicians, and hordes of normal citizens all descended on Turin, Italy, to engage in talks, panels, workshops, and exhibitions at the third annual Utopian Hours festival. The name is a clever play on words; pulling the "nostra" from the middle of Torino Stratosferica, the nonprofit cultural body behind the event, results in "ours," making the actual name of the festival more about imagining a utopian future for ourselves during that time. This year's festival was held on the multipurpose campus of the Lavazza Coffee headquarters, offering ample space for the quickly growing event. Even before one entered La Centrale, a towering power-plant-turned-events-space, visitors were met with freestanding didactics featuring snippets of the ideas to expect within. Once inside, a sprawling exhibition floor presented visions of possible future Turins from local studios, as well as a series of low-cost placemaking interventions intended to be dropped in neighborhoods around the city. Upstairs, the festival's organizers had set up a retrospective for the 100th birthday of Paolo Soleri, curated by Emanuele Piccardo, that tracked the Turin-born architect's career and evolution in his thinking. Of course, civic engagement and the exchange of ideas were a central goal, and each of the festival's three days began with activities to get participants involved. On Friday, that meant kicking off the event with a "Circular Economy Workshop" intended to make visitors brainstorm ideas for creating a more "circular," sustainable Turin. On Saturday, Play the City started the day with an interactive workshop on using play and games to reimagine urban areas (the group would return with a presentation on their work in Amsterdam on Sunday), followed by a workshop on designing for the Turin of 2030, with the youth and elderly of the future in mind. Sunday changed things up with the chance to grab a more intimate breakfast with Jan Rudkiewicz of Werklig, the studio behind Helsinki's rebranding; participants were encouraged to ask him about the intersection of culture within a city and institutional projects. The line-up was top-notch, as speakers from all over the world offered lectures and panels in both Italian and English. That included two mayors: Chiara Appendino, the mayor of Turin, who spoke at the "How is the Turin of our desires?" panel, and the current architect-turned-mayor of Bratislava, Slovakia, Matúš Vallo, who sat in conversation with Feargus O'Sullivan of CityLab for "How To Become The Mayor." The shift in perspective throughout the festival, from discussions of institutional, top-down approaches to city-making, to how activists can make local, small-scale changes and advance their causes with grassroots support, provided comprehensive examples of how urban activists made people power work for them. Other discussions of note included a lecture from architectural photographer Iwan Baan on how to change one's perception of the city, and how he approaches his work. Patrik Gustavsson of the Amager Bakke Foundation discussed the path to funding and ultimately realizing the skiable Copenhill in Copenhagen. AN web editor Jonathan Hilburg sat in conversation with Laurie Hawkinson of Smith-Miller + Hawkinson and Emily Bauer of Bau Land on how to "Make New York Livable Again," no small task. With a mandate that big, the panel leaned heavily towards the topic of climate resiliency and flood mitigation; literally keeping the city livable. While New York is an international city and the myriad problems it faces are present in every large city, the task of informing a European city about the particulars of our own issues proved refreshing, if not daunting. One of the couldn't-miss talks followed shortly after, as Alfredo Brillembourg of Urban-Think Tank (U-TT) delivered a fiery rebuke to the "one-size-fits-all" approach taken by many architects and urban thinkers today. Brillembourg ran down a list of the hyper-site-specific interventions U-TT had taken around the world in the last 20 years, including a cable car system through the slums of Caracas, Venezuela, and resident-led housing densification in the poorest parts of South Africa. Complementing the Soleri exhibition upstairs was what might be considered the centerpiece talk of Utopian Hours, "Paolo Soleri. From Turin to the desert," a deep dive into the late architect's utopian vision and thought process. Perhaps the most interesting additions to the festival, and the ones that elevate it above similar conferences, are the urban explorers. Three speakers who had never been to Turin before were invited to the city four days before the rest of the guests had arrived and given the chance to walk the city. Then, over separate days, they relayed what they had learned to festivalgoers and offered suggestions on what the city could do better. All three speakers were accompanied by flashy videos Torino Stratosferica had produced, tracking each urban explorer as they meandered around the city. Why were the urban explorers so important? Their inclusion lent the festival an "on-the-ground" feel, one of lived-in experience. It's easy to research a place, but much more difficult to actually tackle it firsthand.  Utopian Hours managed to draw an enormous crowd of engaged, thoughtful attendees who weren't afraid to offer up questions or their own take on the material. The suggested €5 ($5.50) admission fee probably helped lure in curious passersby, and that's certainly a good thing. Let's hope the Utopian Hours festival make a fourth appearance.

The new Parco del Polcevera will revitalize the site of the Genoa bridge collapse
The Italian city of Genoa is getting a new park district at the site of last year's deadly bridge collapse, as Parco del Polcevera will be located under the new Renzo Piano-designed replacement bridge set to open April of next year. The Italian architect donated the new bridge to his home city after the original Riccardo Morandi bridge collapsed last August, tragically killing 43 people. The design team for the accompanying urban renewal project consists of Italian architecture firms Stefano Boeri Architetti (SBA) and Metrogramma, as well as Dutch landscape architects Inside Outside. The design features a 5,150-foot-long red steel ring that will bisect Piano's bridge, providing an elevated walking and cycling path through the valley area. A red wind turbine tower will punctuate the landscape at nearly 400 feet tall and provide the adjacent area with a source of renewable energy. At ground level, the park will consist of several parallel, typographically distinct zones that reflect the rich and diverse plant life of Genoa, along with recreational facilities, riverfront promenades, and industrial, office, and retail spaces. The project is as much about the urban green space as it is revitalizing the city's economy. "The Parco del Polcevera will become a new centre," described SBA in a statement. "All around it, the district will be reborn, understood as a community of life, relationships and exchanges. The BIC buildings in the Green Factory area, the New Forts and the ex Mercato Ovaivicolo become new hubs of productivity and innovation, essential ingredients for a sustainable rebirth also from the economic-financial point of view as studied in depth by H&A Associati." The Morandi Bridge was an important transportation link for the city, connecting Genoa to the northern cities of Milan and Turin and beyond to southern France. The urban renewal park project offers to revitalize an industrial area badly hurt by the collapse, which left 600 people homeless and isolated an entire neighborhood. Parco del Polcevera is meant to be a catalyst for growth and sustainable innovation in the still-recovering city as well as a memorial to the victims of the Morandi bridge collapse. At the park's center will be the installation Genova in the Woods by artist Luca Vitone, dedicated to the lives lost in the accident. "A welcome to the world that crosses it and reaches Genoa from a network of infrastructure that stretches from east to west connecting Italy to Europe, parks perched on vertical walls, workers and noblewomen, singers-poets and naval engineers. A Superb City, even though it is afflicted by poignant melancholy; beautiful, even if in the harshness of its everlasting contradictions. A city of steel and sea, sculpted by wind and tragedy, but always able to stand tall," said SBA founder Stefano Boeri.
BIG releases new renderings as San Pellegrino's Factory of the Future breaks ground
Billed as the "Factory of the Future," BIG's latest design for the San Pellegrino production plant at San Pellegrino Terme, Italy, gives the company even more reason to celebrate its 120th anniversary. A groundbreaking ceremony for the $100-million campus took place on September 27, alongside BIG releasing a batch of new views of the project. "Today we lay the first stone of the future factory that will officially launch us toward the future," said Frederico Sarzi Baga, managing director of the Sanpellegrino Group. "The philosophy with which the new structure is created best represents the values of the brand and the commitment of the 'Made in Italy' ambassador company." BIG's design provides views of the Alps of Bergamo, with clean, modern lines offsetting the rugged natural landscape—a perfect metaphor for the blend of old and new that makes up the company, which has bottled its mineral water at the source since 1899. BIG's approach imitates classical Italian architecture, with hints of inspiration from local vernacular motifs—exposed concrete arches and glass surfaces forming arcades and piazza-style spaces for gathering. The implementation of a new road system and access bridge will reduce the local area's traffic congestion by tourists and workers alike, combined with a number of initiatives aimed at bolstering the company's dedication to sustainability. "Like the mineral water itself, the new San Pellegrino Factory will appear to spring from its natural source, rather than imposing a new identity on the existing complex, creating a seamless continuity between the environment of production and consumption, and preparation and enjoyment," said Bjarke Ingels in a statement about the groundbreaking. The factory will include 30,000 square feet of new production space to accommodate the anticipated increase in demand in the near future. Other features include renovated offices and changing rooms, a new cafeteria, a fitness center, and of course, exhibition-style areas to accommodate tourists. The project, which presents a radical transformation of San Pellegrino Terme and the surrounding area, is scheduled to be completed by 2022. BIG was first awarded the sprawling 4.3-acre project back in 2017, and it looks like the design has remained consistent since then.
Utopian Hours festival brings international urbanism to Turin
For three full days in October, the city of Turin in northern Italy will become a think-tank for the future of urbanism. The third edition of Utopian Hours, "the first and only international city-making festival in Italy," according to its organizers, promises an innovative lineup of exhibitions and guest speakers from around the globe. The festival will begin on Friday, October 18, with lectures on everything from smart cities to an Iwan Baan-led talk on capturing the city. Saturday will include a panel of New York-based architects discussing the intricacies and challenges of urban development in the city, moderated by AN's own Jonathan Hilburg. Other highlights include talks by Patrik Gustavsson of the newly unveiled Copenhill, Bratislava mayor Matúš Vallo on the extensive strategic plan for his city, and a discussion of contemporary urban imagery with Monocle editor Andrew Tuck. Among the many exhibitions taking place over the weekend, the one to look forward to most might be "Paolo Soleri: From Torino to the Desert," an homage to the Turin-born architect on the 100th anniversary of his birth, curated by Emanuele Piccardo. The exhibition traces Soleri's roots from early drawings in Turin through his attempts to create utopian forms of urbanism. Utopian Hours will be held at Centrale della Nuvola Lavazza, Turin, from October 18-20. Suggested donations for admission begins at €5 ($5.50). More information, including a full festival lineup, can be found at https://torinostratosferica.it/utopian-hours/. AN is an official media partner of Utopian Hours.
Peter Lang on Cristiano Toraldo di Francia's 'incredible love'
Cristiano Toraldo di Francia sadly passed away on July 30. Cofounder, along with Adolfo Natalini, of the Florentine Radical design and architecture group Superstudio, Cristiano was the kind of person who was incredibly open-minded, shared a sharp sense of humor, and professed a deep love for humanity. While accolades spread across the internet following news of his passing, there was a lot to Cristiano that didn't make it into these postings, tributes, and memorials. What might have been most lacking in all these accounts was the way he shrugged off fame and shunned formality. Yet he never wasted a moment, had infinite stamina, and to stick by him you needed to react fast and move quickly. Cristiano was a perceptive and ever-present photographer, and it is thanks to him that so many historical moments during their superlative adventure were captured for posterity. When I asked him about how he got into photography, he spoke about his father, Giuliano, who was a renowned physicist, recounting an odd story about how he was introduced to his first photo-camera. As Cristiano told me, in an interview at his house in Filottrano back in 2005, his father "…designed lenses for Ducati, at that time they made electronics—now they´re making motorcycles. They made cameras, radios. And they made a micro-camera, which anticipated the cameras of today, instead of the normal 35 mm film --24x36mm, they were using 24x18mm film, so it was fantastic. Italy was poor at the time, everything had to be reduced! Cristiano couldn't help make a quip about the States, and while proudly acknowledging that Italian technology was inventing incredible things that were "almost too advanced for their time," in America "everything was big—big cameras, big cars. But that camera was a jewel... Just to say that since I was a child I was initiated to the mysteries of photography—the images coming out of the acids, of the paper." Probing further, I asked Cristiano what his relationship was to the burgeoning Florentine fashion industry in the early sixties when he was a professional photographer. "I was making family portraits at the time to raise money. In Florence, there is a big tradition around the Alinari family that besides all the city portraits," now in the Alinari Archive in Florence, "they shot a lot of family portraits, but these were like paintings, all retouched, like Photoshop. "They were perfect photographers- so this tradition was present. I was trying to do a very different kind of photography. I looked more to the American model. A journalistic kind of picture, Diane Arbus... Not so much Man Ray or the historical ones. "I became quite successful at the time. All these noble mothers came to make photos in my studio. After a while, I was asked to do fashion photography, but after a while, Superstudio started and I quit. But of course, I had all the contacts and all the people- I was friends with Oliviero Toscani for example," who would go on to make the controversial photographic campaigns for Bennetton. With his usual irony, Cristiano pointed out that he also worked as a fashion model, for the kind of magazines that were constantly referencing architecture. It's hard not to talk about the origins of the Italian Radical movement without getting into influences, of which there were many: "We started…" as Cristiano clarified in that same interview, "…on parallel levels, looking at Archigram, but even more we looked back at Dada and then to Pop-art that was bringing the Dada methods up to date. Fluxus—breaking boundaries and being completely interdisciplinary, fluctuating from one activity to the other. But on the other hand, Archigram had this political information as background—for which we could say maybe we were more idealistic than them. They were more pragmatic, more Anglo-Saxon." Dan Graham connected his generation to Rock and Roll, and given the times, it is clear that music played a considerable role for Cristiano. When I spoke to Cristiano about music when we met in December of 2002, he had this to say: "When I talk about the importance of music, we don't deny having discovered a person like Bob Dylan, or the Beatles, it was a time when popular music reached great artistic levels, Laurie Anderson, the whole group of Fluxus, back then there was a system of self-propulsion, in every field…" What is critical in understanding Superstudio is precisely this level of mixing passions that the art and architecture curator Lara Vinca Masini referred to as "contaminations." Cristiano stabbed at this point by bringing in Aldo Rossi: "Yes the work of Rossi and others was interesting, but it was always inside a discipline with few confrontations with the world that went much faster than their own reasoning." Getting back to the Florentine music scene, Cristiano credited his father with exposing him to experimental music when he was beginning university. In a conversation I had with him in 2005, Cristiano remarked: "My father was a scientist, and as a scientist he was traveling a lot and, in a way, disillusioned and relativistic. He was asked in 1963 to become president of the young contemporary music association. One of those members was Sylvano Bussotti," a Florentine native, musical polyglot and noted dandy. "One was Giuseppe Chiari," the atonal musician, close to John Cage and a member of Fluxus, "and the other was Pietro Grossi," a Venetian electronic musician and composer living in Florence. "I remember they were making concerts of electronic music, and one concert was in the Conservatorio di Musica Cherubini which is a traditional music conservatory. And after 10 minutes of this music people went crazy." Evidently, for this generation of young architects living in Florence in the sixties, these were incredibly stimulating years. Superstudio detoured around the traditional tools of the architect, experimenting with alternative forms of expression and representation. When Emilio Ambasz showed up in Florence around 1971, scouting for ideas for the upcoming exhibition Italy: The New Domestic Landscape for MoMA, the young curator was seeking out experimental "environments." These would be full-scale prototypes for living, accompanied by films serving as animated captions. Yet I wanted to know just how Superstudio produced this project, what kind of technology was used to build this elaborate environment and how did they create their 12-minute film Supersurface. The main backer for the environment was the manufacturer Print but they also had to procure other funders, due to the elevated expenses. According to Cristiano, they found the supplies they needed in Florence, the special reflective glass and the electronic components key to simulate alternating moods of day and night inside the environment. It took 15 days to manually assemble it before the show opened in New York on May 26th, 1972. The movie was instead made during the winter of 1971- 72 and it was filmed in 36 mm. "I worked on that with Sandro Poli," the Superstudio member officially present between 1970 and 1972, "we found the music, made the soundtrack, with the professional help of a guy who made advertising for TV (Marchi Producers), who had that mentality, and in fact, we wanted it to be projected as if it would be an advertisement for the Supersurface. The first part presents in a scientific way how the thing is done, and the second one tells how happy you will be living there." In fact, both making the environment and directing the animated film were very labor-intensive hands-on processes. I asked Cristiano what role the Italian manufacturers had in producing Superstudio's concepts. Cristiano's response was that these factories were mostly made up of artisans. "That is why we managed to make a series of objects from very different things and from really different materials. Most of these objects are coming out of a kind of bricolage. The factory made almost nothing—we had to find artisans who did the different parts. The industry would just put the parts together. We were doing a kind of bricolage Cheap-scape—as Frank Gehry would say—for the industries." The Italian design industry seemed to work as an artisanal chain assembly. But what was still not clear, was why did these manufacturers get behind a group like Superstudio to make things that worked against the idea of mass consumption? Why would they sponsor designs that were against their best interests? "We thought these objects we were making were a kind of trojan horses that coming from inside the system would produce criticism, which means creativity, which means refusal, or incredible love. They were objects of poetic reaction for the people. They were not mass-produced, they were in little series, multiples, like works of art." To this day I still think about Cristiano's trojan horses, and his incredible love.
Superstudio cofounder Cristiano Toraldo di Francia dies at 78
Italian architect Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, master drawer, and cofounder of famed 1960s and '70s collective Superstudio, has died at the age of 78. Best known for starting the radical design firm while studying at the University of Florence with partner Adolfo Natalini, Toraldo di Francia was a catalyst for the radical architecture movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Though the group built very little, it excelled in creating avant-garde narratives and installations for major exhibitions as well as producing highly-regarded drawings, videos, and lithographs. Superstudio's influential architectural research, design, objects, and theoretical work were featured in both the Milan Triennale, the Venice Biennale (several times), and at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as well as the Design Museum in London, among others. Several international museums have acquired their work over the years including the Centre Pompidou and the MAXXI in Rome. In 1972, Superstudio was invited by curator Amelio Ambasz to participate in its first U.S. showcase, Italy: The New Domestic Landscape, held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Though the collective fell apart by 1980, its effect on the architectural profession was huge. It's said that Superstudio's penchant for imagining outrageous mega-structures majorly shaped the design minds of Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid. In the early 70s, Koolhaas focused his final thesis at the Architectural Association of London on the Florentine group. Born in 1941, Toraldo di Francia also became a respected Italian architect, author, and educator in his own right in Italy. After Superstudio broke up, he continued to work independently in Florence and eventually in Filottrano, Italy. Some of his major projects include designing the Livorno waterfront, the Florence Statuto Railway Station, the San Paolo di Prato Banking Institute, and the Banca del Chianti headquarters in San Casciano Val di Pesa. Arguably one of his best and most controversial designs was the La Pensilina di Santa Maria Novella that served as a bus and taxi terminal adjacent to the 1932 Florence train station. Inspired by the striped patterning added to the facade and interior of the Santa Maria Novella church by Leon Battista Alberti in the 15th century, Toraldi di Francia made his elongated pensilina structure just as radical with skylights and ample marble material. It was built in 1990 ahead of the World Cup but later became inhospitable and dysfunctional. It was eventually dismantled by The Renzi government in 2010. In addition to designing, Toraldo di Francia taught and lectured at a number of universities Europe, the United States, and Japan. He was a founding faculty member of the architectural school at the University of Camerino in 1992. He worked there regularly until transitioning to the role of adjunct professor in 2011. A memorial is planned for the architect possibly this Thursday. Peter Lang and AN's editor-in-chief William Menking wrote a book on Toraldi di Francia, his colleagues, and the Superstudio collective, Superstudio: Life Without Objects, which was published in 2003. Lang will follow up this initial obituary with a longer, more in-depth piece.
Italian architect and editor Alessandro Mendini passes away
Italian architect, designer, and two-time editor-in-chief of Domus Alessandro Mendini has passed away at the age of 87. Mendini was born in Milan in 1931 and was a key figure in the resurgence of Italian design after World War II. Mendini founded Atelier Mendini in 1987 with his brother and collaborator Francesco, and they achieved international acclaim for their work with Swatch, Cartier, and other companies. Known as a sculptor, painter, architect, journalist, and designer of furniture, products, and interiors, Mendini was lauded for his playful use of color and sense of proportion. His talent eventually led to collaborations with both domestic Italian designers and large multinational firms, such as Supreme in 2016. Mendini was awarded the European Prize for Architecture in 2014, as well as the 2003 Medaglia d'Oro all'Architettura Italiana and the 2006 Villegiature Award. Mendini's interests extended to architecture as well, and as Domus noted in his biography, he "designed the Groninger Museum (1988-1994, 2010) the Alessi factories and the Omegna Museum-Forum (1996), the Teatrino della Bicchieraia in Arezzo (1998), the urban regeneration of the Maghetti district in Lugano (1998), the renovation of the Termini Station in Rome (1999), the restoration of the Villa Comunale (1999) and three stations in the Naples underground network (2000), as well as the new exhibition space and the new branch of the Milan Triennale in Incheon, South Korea (2008-2009)."
Renzo Piano reveals replacement for collapsed Genoa Bridge
The Italian government has sped up plans to rebuild the Morandi Bridge that collapsed in Genoa this August, and taken up the Genoa-born Renzo Piano on his offer to design the replacement for free. Salini Impregilo, the country's largest contractor, and Fincantieri, a state-run shipbuilding company, have been chosen to build the new bridge and will be forming a new conglomerate, "PERGENOVA" to do so. During a heavy storm on August 14, the concrete-and-cable-stay Morandi Bridge was hit by lightning and collapsed, killing 43 and injuring dozens more. The bridge originally opened in 1967 to span the Polcevera Viaduct and connected the coastal area with Genoa's port. The Renzo Piano Building Workshop leaned heavily on steel for the replacement bridge, and Piano claimed in September that, "This will last for a thousand years and will be built of steel," and would "have elements of a boat because that is something from Genoa." The final design seems to bear that out. A 3,600-foot-long main steel deck will run across 20 spans, supported by 19 concrete piers. For the most part, the piers will be spaced out in 164-foot increments, except for a pair that has been placed 328 feet apart on either side of the Polcevera River. The bridge will literally be a shining beacon, as it's expected to reflect sunlight during the day and use stored solar energy to power its lights at night. Fincantieri will be building the structure's steel elements at its Genoa-Sestri Ponente shipyard and may spread the work to its other shipyards if necessary. The steel deck will be assembled in parts and welded together on-site to reduce costs and speed up construction. The project is estimated to cost $229 million, and construction is expected to take 12 months once the site is cleared.
This mental health facility creates calm with a perforated green facade
Brought to you with support from
San Miniato is a small Italian hill town just outside Florence. In medieval times, the town connected northern Europe and Rome, and today its hilltop landscape is dotted with luxury tourist lodgings scattered between landmarked palaces, seminaries, and homes. Arising from this historical context is the town's newest building, Casa Verde, a mental health facility for young women.

The project is inspired by historical and social values of "home" paired with the spirit of the forested surroundings. A loose arrangement of dormitories are arranged around a central courtyard and clad with a perforated green metal skin that is held off of ground level to offer transparency to the surrounding landscape, which is peppered with centuries-old cypress trees. Casa Verde prioritizes social sustainability as well as sustainable land use. Hillside maintenance efforts were supported by reusing existing foundations from vicoli carbonai, or charcoal alleys, which were developed in the Middle Ages as an extension of San Miniato's defensive system. Lightweight paneling on the facade helped minimize dead loads on the foundation to maintain the slope stability. Art by and about the patients has shaped the facility. Drawings from younger patients were edited, scaled, and applied to the ground floor glazing system, while Italian artist Mercurio-S17S71 created Shamans, a contemporary work that features portraits of Casa Verde's patients. The extension to the existing orphanage was sensitively planned to protect the formal massing of the original plan, while additions to the complex are articulated through more contemporary expressions of shape and material. Openings on the main elevation connect users of the existing structure to the addition. The facade coloration results from a study of leaf shades in different seasons. Like a full tree canopy, the facade's perforated screens are perceived as porous from up close, but massive and opaque from afar. Openings in the metal panels filter daylight while ventilating the thermal envelope beyond the screen. Beyond the facade, the architect explained that the interior spaces were purposefully designed in a minimal scheme to "recreate the feeling of being in a carded wool space (in view of neuropsychiatric disorders)." A base light gray color is paired with a color scheme of greens, blues, and oranges that covers furniture and architectural detailing to delineate the facility's services.
Almost 10 percent of U.S. bridges are structurally deficient
News of the bridge collapse in Genoa, Italy, has urbanists, lawmakers, and everyday citizens alike rethinking the safety of aged infrastructure across the globe. A reported 39 people were killed on Tuesday when part of the cable-stayed Morandi Bridge snapped during a torrential downpour, causing dozens of vehicles to fall 148 feet to the ground. Completed in 1967, the 0.8 mile-long bridge underwent a restructuring effort two years ago and work on the foundation was underway this summer when the collapse occurred. Experts say both the design and maintenance of the 51-year-old bridge may be at fault for the catastrophic event. Many of the 614,387 bridges in the United States are nearing the end of their useful life, says to the American Society of Civil Engineers. Nearly four in ten are 50 years old or more, according to an ASCE report updated last year, but some significant repair work has been done over the last decade to ensure the future safety of a few of these structures. The ASCE reported that the percentage of structurally-deficient bridges in the U.S. has decreased from 12.1 percent to 9.1 percent since 2009 and that about 13.6 percent of the nation's bridges are functionally obsolete. The ASCE also estimated that 15 percent were built between 40 and 49 years ago and will soon reach the end of their functional lifespan. With 188 million people traveling across poor bridges each year, these figures beg the question: How can the U.S. maintain its aging infrastructure? Though the U.S. has made advances on the state of its bridges, there's still a long way to go. The ASCE said that it will cost $123 million to fix the nation's deteriorating bridges and the American Road & Transportation Builders Association adds it will take nearly 37 years to do so. In January, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) introduced the Bridge Investment Act in Congress, a $75 million measure that would help fund a 10-year federal grant for state bridge repairs, reports Construction Dive. The proposal is currently being reviewed by the Senate's Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Morandi Bridge collapse raises questions about the future of concrete
The Morandi Bridge in Genoa, Italy, collapsed yesterday, apparently struck by lightning during a period of heavy rain, and about 30 people died and several others were injured. A viaduct on the A10 motorway, it was built between 1964 and 1967 and became a symbol of Italian post-World War II development. The bridge was designed by talented structural engineer Riccardo Morandi, then a prominent figure along with other Italian designers, including Pier Luigi Nervi and Sergio Musmeci. Morandi designed a similar project in Venezuela several years earlier. The entire viaduct was about one kilometer in length with a maximum span of around 200 meters. It consisted of a reinforced concrete structure with hybrid pre-stressed cable-stayed spans. Aside from its elegant design, it succeeded functionally because of its three piers that allowed it to fly over the existing buildings below. The viaduct was apparently weakened because the concrete was mixed with the incorrect viscosity, which created wave-like movement in the vehicle deck. Over the years, new steel cables were introduced to reinforce the inefficient pre-stressed stays while the whole bridge was facing constantly increasing traffic, reportedly more than 25 million passages a year, nearly four times the number initially planned. A proposed bypass highway project to decrease truck transit had been discussed since 2009, but local committees—apparently the 5 Stelle (5 Stars) populist movement governing Italy jointly with nationalist Lega Party since last June—rejected the proposal, with a sarcastic mention of "the fairy tale of the collapsing bridge." More recently, in 2016 independent senator Maurizio Rossi sent the former minister of transportation a written Q&A that pointed out potential structural issues of the bridge and highlighted the maintenance of the viaduct as a critical matter to be dealt with by Società Autostrade (formerly the State Highway Company). Professional engineers and designers have also suggested that reinforced concrete micro-fractures in the structure created by shaking from overloaded traffic were the potential reason for the collapse. Will this finally be a turning point for concrete as a hybrid construction material for bridges? It has long been seen as a poor material used by modernist egos for its formal plasticity even though it fails in durability. The Morandi Bridge was a national symbol of elegance and a crucial piece of infrastructure, and its collapse demands an appropriate infrastructure policy that deals with maintenance, management, and public procurement. This will avoid similar mass-murder. This is true not just in Italy, but worldwide since reinforced concrete is the most common material for bridges all over the planet. In the meantime, social media has been filled with self-proclaimed structural engineers insulting each other, stimulated by divisive politicians.
Seduction Pavilion
YAC – Young Architects Competitions – and the Foundation Fashion Research Italy – in cooperation with the Cineteca di Bologna - launch "Seduction Pavilion", an architectural competition to design and realize an installation that will became a real landmark of an exhibition that the Foundation is going to dedicate to the endless beauty of aspiring female celebrities and pin-ups. A cash prize of € 10,000 + realization of the 1st prize project will be awarded to winners selected by a well-renowned jury made of, among the others, Patricia Urquiola (Studio Urquiola), Fabio Novembre (Studio Fabio Novembre), Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli (OMA), Claudio Silvestrin (Claudio Silvestrin Architects)
Refinery, elegance and seduction. The female universe has always been a sacred horizon, a mysterious threshold that has been inspiring a wide range of expressions of human culture. For women the first simulacra were sculpted by human hands, for women the Caryatids of the Acropolis of Athens were created. The sensuality captured by the ancient oral tradition of the Aeneid and the Old Testament is the female sensuality.
The characters of the woman are countless. They have been dotting the history of humankind in the enduring pursuit of an ever-changing beauty. Cinema and fashion have been celebrating such a bewitching and generating power for decades in an ongoing story of seduction and elegance.
Therefore, the Foundation Fashion Research Italy and the Cineteca di Bolognaaim at paying tribute to this female horizon, to this story of beauty and deep dignity. They will do so, by creating an architectural installation. Through a selection of rare photographs, it will describe the forgotten world of failed female stars: enchanting beauties that have almost been part of the Hollywood and Italian star system but never achieved fame.
How to represent the world of aspiring female celebrities and pin-ups? How to express- through architecture- the seducing power of the female universe?
By answering these questions, designers will have the opportunity to pay tribute to the seducing fascination of nameless female stars. They will have the chance to create their own museum installation, which will be in the world a symbol and expression of style and femininity. Moreover, it will redeem the celebrity dream of stars that never achieved fame.
It will be located at the entrance of the Foundation Fashion Research Italy. It will be displayed to the world during the first edition of the Fashion Film Festival curated by the Cineteca di Bologna. The installation will welcome visitors with a story of sensuality and beauty able to connect them to a fragment of one of the most stunning and mysterious mosaics of history: the woman.

Parque Virrey
This narrow linear park between Calle 87 and Calle 89 in the Chapinero neighborhood of Bogota runs along the green El Virrey creek corridor. It's a favorite spot for runners, with three distinct running circuits that can be completed in laps, or one after another for a longer loop. All paths in the park use a combination of asphalt and brick walkway. The westernmost loop runs from Autopista Norte to Carrera 15, and is about 1.25 km. The central circuit, at about 1 km, covers the section between Carreras 15 and 11. Finally, the eastern loop spans 1.1 km between Carreras 11 and 7. Combined, a full loop of the park is about 1.4 km (.8 miles), so most runners do multiple circuits. It's best to visit the park during daylight hours, but if you must run in the evening, the east end (where the police station is) is considered safest.

R. Kelly: Was the Daycare Bomb Scare Planned by His Associates?
The R. Kelly saga just keeps getting more dramatic. After it was revealed a female friend of his bailed him out of jail (reports say her name is Valencia Love), there has been a lot of curiosity about who his friend is and why she felt compelled to help the singer out.
It was reported the daycare center where the woman used to work received a bomb threat. However, something seems a bit off. Could the bomb threat have been made up so the attention could be taken off R. Kelly and his legal woes?
If you think this situation sounds familiar, that's because it is. Not too long ago, a New York City screening for Lifetime's docuseries Surviving R. Kelly was evacuated after a gun threat was received. The venue was evacuated after two anonymous calls were received, reports Variety. Some of R. Kelly's accusers were at the event, including his ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, Kitti Jones, Asante Jones, Lizzette Martinez, Lisa Van Allen and Jerhonda Pace. The women were featured in the docuseries and were supposed to speak about the alleged abuse at the Lifetime event. One of R. Kelly's associates, Donnel Russell, was later named a person of interest.
Was Valencia Love really the person who bailed R. Kelly out of jail?
Most of the time, nothing is as it seems. There's usually another layer to the story, especially when it comes to situations like the one with R. Kelly. Although R. Kelly's lawyer said the singer is broke, Love claimed the money used for the bail didn't belong to her. She said the money belonged to R. Kelly.
Considering R. Kelly's financial woes, it's hard to believe the $100,000 bail money was all his. We think R. Kelly might have received financial help from his sister, Theresa Kelly, or from her church. During an interview on Unwine with Tasha K., R. Kelly's brother, Carey Kelly, said his brother has given Theresa and her church "large denominations of money." Perhaps Theresa or the church decided to come together and help R. Kelly after he fell on hard times.
The drama is far from over. R. Kelly is expected to appear in court on March 22.

Meet the South Poll cow: the healthier, naturally raised cattle of the future?
Missouri rancher Greg Judy spots a six-month-old South Poll heifer calf in his herd that is a prime example of what he calls a "good doing cow". A cow that will "do good" on grass alone.
She's got a "big butt", Judy says, meaning wide hips that will help her easily bear calves when grown. She sports a shiny, slick red hide that flies avoid landing on; cows stressed from fly bites – Judy has seen hundreds on a single cow – don't grow well. She has a large "barrel" or gut, meaning enough stomach capacity to store large amounts of grass, which she will convert to energy and will keep her in good health, even during the winter with no extra feed. "This is the kind of heifer you want," Judy says. "You can build a herd out of those."
Judy raises cattle in a highly-managed, grass-only system that he believes is better for his cows and the environment. His 300-plus herd is kept together in a dense group, and moved often – Judy moves his cattle twice a day to fresh paddocks – creating a symbiotic relationship between cows and grasslands that soil scientists are finding encourages soil health and rapid grass growth.
But Judy has learned not all cows thrive on grass alone, especially the type of cattle favored by a US ranching industry that has grown largely dependent on feeding cattle grain rations.
In Judy's system, those "common cows", as he calls them, looked like they had been starved six months after he put them on a grass-only diet. Instead, Judy found success – after nearly going bankrupt in 1999 trying to raise cattle the conventional way – utilizing intensive, grass-based management with cows that had the "grass genetics" to thrive.
"At the end of the day, the money comes from animals that can excel on a grass diet," says Judy, referring to the lower costs of raising cattle with a genetic predisposition to thrive on grass, since they don't require the grain, growth hormones and antibiotics often used in traditional cattle ranching.
It's a counterintuitive problem, considering cows evolved to eat grass. But today, approximately 97% of US beef cows spend the last four to six months in confined feedlots where they are fed grain rations until slaughter. Before that, they spend most of their lives out on the pasture, but even then some ranchers feed them grain to keep their weight up through winter or during stressful times like calving.
Meanwhile, the grass-only beef market is small, but growing rapidly, according to a report by Stone Barns Center. The intensively managed grazing Judy employs is a supercharged version of traditional cattle-grazing techniques. By moving his cows often, they do not have a chance to damage the grass by eating it too short. Instead, they encourage healthy root development increasing soil health, which some scientists have found allows the soil to capture and store carbon from the atmosphere – a process known as carbon sequestration.
This heavily managed grazing style – also called holistic grazing – is part of a growing worldwide interest in "regenerative agriculture". By promoting multiple practices that build soil health, regenerative agriculture has been said to improve agricultural lands and ultimately sequester carbon, according to Rattan Lal PhD, an Ohio State University soil scientist and the 2020 World Food Prize winner.
But the growth of regenerative grazing systems has been slow, in part because, as the cattle industry turned to feeding grain, ranchers ended up breeding fewer cows that could thrive on grass alone, says Richard Teague PhD, a range ecologist with the Texas A&M University Agrilife Research center. Ranchers like Judy were put in a pickle, without the cows appropriate for their grass-only systems.
"People wanted to feed corn, [so] they bred huge animals that require very big inputs of corn and also pharmaceuticals," says Teague. He argues that raising "cattle like that" comes at the expense of the health of consumers – and the health of the soil that nurtures them. "We have to go to animals that we know thrive under good management."
The traditional ranching industry denies the charge that grass-raised cows are better for the climate than their grain-fed product. In a 2017 study by Oklahoma State University researchers found that grain-fed cattle – with their shorter lifespans – resulted in a 18.5 to 67.5% lower carbon footprint compared with grass-finished beef.
Meanwhile, a 2017 report from the Food, Climate and Research Network challenged the idea that grass-fed beef can be good for the environment at all, saying there was no evidence that grazing cattle helps sequester carbon except under the most ideal conditions.
However, Teague argues, "It's not the cow, it's the how." A 2015 study in Georgia of dairy cows in an intensively grazed system recorded eight tons of carbon sequestered per hectare annually. The intensive livestock grazing systems such as Judy uses are one of the best ways within agricultural systems to sequester carbon, according to Teague. "Under decent management, sequestration exceeds emissions, and the better the grazing management, the more it exceeds it."
For Judy, it comes down to raising cattle in a system that works with nature instead of against it. But to do that, he also had to find the best cattle to thrive in his environment. For him, that perfect cow is the South Poll.
A relative newcomer to the beef cattle scene, the South Poll is a small-framed, stout, highly fertile red cow, well adapted to hot and humid conditions. It has good mothering instincts that have earned it the nickname the "southern mama cow". The breed also has a rock star – or at least, country music star – cachet; it was originally developed in the 1990s by Teddy Gentry, the bass player for the country music group Alabama.
Judy is far from alone in his enthusiasm for this up-and-coming breed. In mid-September, South Poll cattle fans from all over the US showed up in Copan, Oklahoma, for the annual South Poll cattle auction. The cows are becoming increasingly popular with grass-focused ranchers – especially in the south-eastern and midwestern US where the cattle are best adapted – according to Ann Demerath, secretary of the South Poll Grass Cattle Association.
Some of the animals purchased at the auction may be cross-bred with other cattle breeds. Ranchers hope to use the South Poll genes to adapt their existing cattle to do better on a grass diet, Judy says. He advises ranchers to start by purchasing the "best South Poll bull you can afford" and breed it to the best females in their existing herd. Then, ranchers should select the best females from that generation and breed those with a South Poll sire – a technique called "line-breeding" that quickly focuses on desirable traits without risking genetic defects.
Judy also advises ranchers to cull – or remove – any animals that don't fit their standards for health and disposition, even if they "look at you funny", from their breeding stock. His mantra? "You'll never have a herd any better than what you are willing to cull for."
Relentlessly selecting for the best-adapted cows within his own system has allowed Judy to produce South Poll mother cows so well-adapted that they stay healthy through the winter. That means, unlike most ranchers, Judy can give the mothers more time with their calves during the winter, which gives those calves an extra boost of growth and leaves him with a stronger, bigger calf in the spring.
For Judy, that is the goal – a cow that needs nothing but well-managed grass, passing their health and wellbeing on to the next generation.
"The animals," Judy says, "are just healthy."

The first Test between Pakistan and Zimbabwe at Harare remained in the hosts' clutches for the first three days. However, after a double century of Younis Khan and remarkable comeback by Pakistani bowlers helped the tourists turn the tables on the opponents, clinching a 221-run victory.
Zimbabwe do deserve credit for keeping the game on equal level for the first three days. But the way Pakistan came back in the match on the back of Younis' innings and later the bowlers summed up the hosts' innings to 120 runs was enough to prove Pakistan's abilities.
Pakistan were all out at 249 in the first innings and after that Zimbabwe gained more and more control of the match with every passing session. When Pakistan lost three wickets at 27, Azhar Ali (78) and Misbah-ul-Haq (53) brought some grace back to the team.
However, consistent fall of wickets restricted the score from building up, and had there not been a 67-run partnership between Saeed Ajmal and Junaid Khan, Pakistan would have made a much less total. Ajmal's 49 runs were a great support for Pakistan in amassing a somewhat respectable total.
Zimbabwean bowlers proved their captain's decision of fielding first correct. Not only Tendai Chatara and Panyangara, but also Shingi Masakadza and Prosper Utseya bowled well and cornered the touring side.
The start of Zimbabwe's innings was not good either. They lost three wickets at 68 including key wickets of Hamilton Masakadza and Vusi Sibanda. But a partnership of 127 between Sikandar Raza and Malcolm Waller gave upper hand to the team.
Pakistani-origin Raza, who was making his Test debut against his ancestral country, helped Waller a lot and faced Pakistani bowlers with the determination of a skilled batsman.
The partnership ended when Waller was caught in the slip on Ajmal's delivery. Waller scored 70 runs off 100 balls, hitting 14 fours. Raza 60(118) became Ajmal's third wicket. He smashed 20 fours during his innings.
At this stage when half of the Zimbabwean team was back to the pavilion, Pakistan failed to capitalise the opportunity. Chigumbura scored 69 runs and gave another life to Zimbabwean innings. Zimbabwe amassed 327 runs in their first innings, taking an astonishing lead of 78 runs over Pakistan.
Ajmal took seven wickets for 95 runs, Junaid took two and Rahat took one.
The 78-run lead and Pakistan's performance in the first innings were giving a sense that all was over. And the way Pakistan started their second innings only strengthened that impression.
Pakistan lost Khuram Manzoor, Azhar Ali, and Hafeez at the total of just 23. Khuram failed in second innings too and got lbw at the hands of Panyangara. Ali got out on duck, becoming the second victim of Panyangara. Hafeez gifted his wicket in short extra cover to Chatara.
At this troubled time, Misbah and Younis took the charge to save the game. Both these men added 116 runs in the fourth wicket. The partnership could have gone longer but Misbah was trapped by S Masakadza and got out while playing to the cover. When Misbah departed after scoring 52 off 157, Pakistan were 139-4.
Asad Shafiq once again failed to live up to expectations as he fell prey to Chatara. Pakistan lost half of its side when the lead was not even 100.
At this stage, Adnan Akmal supported Younis and the duo added 118 runs in the sixth wicket. Adnan scored 64 off 154. On the other end, Younis kept his calm and completed his 22nd Test century on 221 balls.
After Adnan Akmal got run-out, Pakistan lost back-to-back wickets of Abdul Rehman, Saeed Ajmal, and Junaid Khan -- all to Utseya. But it was the 88-run partnership between Younis and Rahat Ali which helped Younis near his double century.
In the final moments of the fourth day, Misbah was faced with a dilemma. If he declared the innings, Younis could not complete his 200. And if he did not declare, critics would slam him for losing an opportunity to win the game. He kept on signalling Younis to show him how much overs were left and tell him to speed up the innings. Younis played accordingly. When Pakistan had the last over to declare the innings, he completed his double century by hitting a six to Utseya. Pakistan then declared their innings on 419-9, giving Zimbabwe a winning target of 342 runs.
This was Younis' fourth double century, during which he remained at the crease for 10 hours and 14 minutes and faced 404 balls. He hit 3 sixes and 15 fours. The tailender Rahat Ali remained not out on 35 runs off just 40 balls with the help of 3 sixes and 3 fours.
Utseya took three wickets, Chatara and Panyangara took two apiece, and Masakadza got one.
Zimbabwe started their innings to play the last few overs of the day. Ajmal took Tino Mawoyo's wicket in the day's final over when the hosts' score was just 13.
On the fifth day, Zimbabwe needed 329 runs on 9 wickets. The hosting side was under the test to face an expert bowling attack on a used track for whole 90 overs. But they could put up resistance for only 40 overs, and Junaid Khan, Abdur Rehman and Saeed Ajmal ended Zimbabwean innings on just 120.
Junaid got opponents' captain in his first over then Sibanda in next over, ending every chance of Zimbabwe's comeback. First innings' heroes Raza and Waller were dismissed by Abdul Rehman. At 58 Zimbabwe were half gone. Ajmal rammed into Zimbabwe's tailenders, taking his wickets' tally to 11 in the match. It was a massive 221-run win for Pakistan.
A Test match which remained in Zimbabwe's favour for the first three days culminated in their defeat, thanks to Pakistan's batsmen riveting performance on the fourth day and bowlers heroics on the fifth. Pakistani bowlers who were struggling in the first innings took 9 wickets only in one session in the second innings.
Younis was declared man of the match for playing one of the memorable innings of his career.
The second Test, which was supposed to take place in Bulawayo, has now been shifted to Harare for some reason. Now both teams will again face each other on September 10 at Harare Sports Club. Pakistan are leading 1-0 in the series.

CRISPR-Based Tech Could Revolutionize Medical Diagnostics
Aug 13, 2021 | Diagnostic Technologies |
Scientists have repurposed the genetic modification technology CRISPR to identify antibodies in patient blood samples in a move that could inspire a new class of medical diagnostics in addition to a host of other applications.
The technology involves customizable collections of proteins which are attached to a variant of Cas9, the protein at the heart of CRISPR, that will bind to DNA but not cut it as it would when used for genetic modification. When these Cas9-fused proteins are applied to a microchip sporting thousands of unique DNA molecules, each protein within the mixture will self-assemble to the position on the chip containing its corresponding DNA sequence. The researchers have called this technique 'PICASSO', short for peptide immobilization by Cas9-mediated self-organization. By then applying a blood sample to the PICASSO microarray, the proteins on the microchip that are recognized by patient antibodies can be identified.
The team led by Stephen Elledge, PhD, at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, has published the research online in Molecular Cell. The paper's first author, Karl Barber, PhD, is a 2018 Schmidt Science Fellow, with much of the work to develop the technology taking place during his Fellowship Research Placement in corresponding author Elledge's laboratory.
Describing PICASSO, Barber says: "Imagine you want to paint a picture on a canvas, but instead of painting in a normal fashion, you mix all of your paints together, splash it on the canvas, and the perfect picture emerges. With our new technique, you place DNA molecules at defined locations on a surface and each protein from a mixture will then self-assemble to its corresponding DNA sequence, like an automated paint-by-number kit. The resulting DNA-templated protein microarrays allow you to quickly identify antibodies in clinical samples that recognize whatever proteins you are interested in."
The research team has demonstrated that the technology works to assemble thousands of different proteins, suggesting that it could be readily adapted as a broad-spectrum medical diagnostic tool. In the paper, they used the technique to detect antibodies binding to proteins derived from pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, from the blood of recovering COVID-19 patients.
Barber adds: "In this work, we demonstrated the application of PICASSO for protein studies, creating a tool that we believe could be quickly adapted for medical diagnostics. Our protein self-assembly technique could also be harnessed for the development of new biomaterials and biosensors just by attaching DNA targets to a scaffold and allowing Cas9-linked proteins to bind."
Group Leader, Elledge, comments: "One of the most exciting aspects of this work is the demonstration of how CRISPR can be applied in an entirely new setting. Previously, CRISPR has been used primarily for gene editing and the detection of DNA or RNA. PICASSO brings the power of CRISPR into a new realm of protein studies, and the molecular self-assembly strategy we show may assist in developing new research and diagnostic tools."
Megan Kenna, DPhil, PhD, executive director of Schmidt Science Fellows, said: "This technology has the potential to be used as a medical diagnostic tool that could, one day, provide doctors with a way to quickly determine the diagnosis and best course of treatment for each individual patient."
The research was supported by Schmidt Science Fellows, the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research, National Science Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Nicki Minaj sued by former artist for $200 million

Nicki Minaj is reportedly being sued by New York artist, Brinx Billions. It would appear rapper Jawara Headley, better known as Brinx Billions, is trying to get rich from 'Rich Sex
'Rich Sex,' the Nicki Minaj song that appears on the femcee's 2018 album, 'Queen,' reigns as a hot topic of discussion for Billions as he says he's owed millions for his uncredited work on the tune (which peaked at #56 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the height of its popularity).
Suing the Rap diva for more than $200 million over the Lil Wayne-assisted hit, Billions alleges Nicki – who he says he's known for over a decade – ripped off his version of 'Rich Sex' after he played it for her years before 'Queen' hit shelves. He also says the Harajuku Barbie told him the song would be "extremely marketable and become a global hit" before allegedly taking it for herself.
Though insisting he's the sole creator, composer, and producer of 'Rich Sex,' he is only listed as a writing contributor and shares album credits with Minaj, Lil Wayne, and others.
As of time reported, Minaj has not responded to the legal woe but her devoted fans – affectionately called #Barbz – haven't kept mum on the issue.
His response to the hoopla?
