Embryo Parson has written an interesting article in his blog: Catholicism, Liturgy and Manliness. He wrote in kind terms about me and my writings at a theological level. He does give something to reflect on in terms of Muscular Christianity. It is easy to come up with caricatures of the idea through bogus military orders in the Confederate states in America and modern cowboys with their small artillery in wait for some future conflict. The other temptation is the Nietzschian archetype as adopted by the National Socialists in Germany to exemplify their "master race". Likening anything to Nazism is called Godwin's Law, the reductio ad hitlerum. My usual error is to presume too much from my readers.
One of the best studies of Nazism is William L. Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich – A History of Nazi Germany. There are other works that go into the methods Hitler, Göbbels and others used to manipulate the masses, notably through Nordic mythology and pagan religion. Many of the archetypes go back to classical Rome and Greece (think of Hercules) and anti-semitism along with anti- just about everything else was the founding myth. I am old enough to remember some awful things said about Jewish people at school in the 1970's and how they were perverse and self-enriching. Persecution of the Jews goes back a very long way, and that feeling heavily pervaded Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. Hitler invented nothing. He grabbed onto all the most useful archetypes in order to promote his ideology and his own power. Hitler himself was no Aryan super-man, but a sick and mentally ill drug addict. If anything, I don't compare things to Nazism, but to the less fortunate characteristics of human nature over many centuries. My "error" is not guilt by association or comparison with Nazi ideology, but things in our own times being built on the same underlying philosophy.
I have to admit that I have misunderstood the term Muscular Christianity (Anglicanism), thinking of it as an analogy of the ideology of force and being the strongest. Muscular Christianity has a narrower and less analogical meaning than I thought. Embryo Parson confirms this in terms very similar to the Wikipedia article. It is everything I am not: competitive and devoted to team sports! As I mentioned in an earlier article, I love being outdoors and active – especially sailing, cycling and bivouacking. I was not a Scout as a boy, but I have great admiration for Baden-Powell's idea – learning to manage for oneself with very basic means. Scouting also builds a sense of community life and solidarity, much less of one team against the other (unless they actually put on a game of football). I went to an English public school and found much of what is described as "Muscular Christianity".
The public school in England is not its namesake in America. It is a private establishment, usually having been founded many centuries ago, and elitist by definition. The best-known caricature in the cinema is Linsay Anderson's If… This version is in English but with Portuguese subtitles.
The film is a caricature and there is a vicious thrashing of three boys in the gym by prefects, the reason for my title. There are plenty of pompous platitudes from the chaplain, headmaster, housemaster and "whips" (prefects or monitors). The film's producer clearly had experience of public school, and the various themes are based on the life I knew, boarding and sleeping in a dormitory, harsh commands, discipline, academic classes – and above all sport and chapel. We actually had a showing of this film at school! Anderson exaggerated these themes, given under titles during the film. My own school (St Peter's in York) had reformed many of these aspects in the 1960's. In my day, the old whacking stool in the gym still existed, but it was no longer used – a relic like the axe and block at the Tower of London.
I only ever heard about a punishment by caning on two occasions, and it wasn't on me. I got the slipper many times as a small boy at prep school, but not at St Peter's. They used to say that the British Empire was founded on a liberal use of the cane, always made of top-quality rattan! The cane leaves red welts on the buttocks that often bleed a little, taking some days to becomes less painful and a week or two to heal. You had to take it like a man! I honestly think that the abolition of corporal punishment was a good thing, as it would "break a good man's heart and make a bad man even worse" as the British Navy said at the end of the eighteenth century about flogging with the cat o' nine tails. Modern educators have more enlightened notions about character formation and the maturing process than those who believed in repression, pain and fear.
We had sports every day after classes in the afternoon, except Tuesday when we had CCF (Combined Cadet Force), Wednesday when we had the afternoon off and permission to go into town (properly dressed) and Sundays. The default sports were Rugby and Cricket, but we had more choice after a year, so I went more for swimming, rowing and shooting. That satisfied what was required.
Public school religion is very particular, and in an Anglican public school is altogether the kind of religion I described a couple of days ago: God the Policeman! "Manly" religion hasn't much time for prayer or mystical experience! At school, anyone too interested in religion or spirituality would be severely mocked. Most boys boasted of being atheists and just going through the motions. Our chaplain was Rev. Noel Kemp-Welch, a protégé of Dean Milner White and a graduate of Kings College, Cambridge. The boys called him Bonehead on account of his baldness or Buddha. He was a kind and compassionate man, and a boy with difficulties could go and talk with him. His Confirmation classes were totally devoid of Christian doctrine, and more concerned with ghost stories and philanthropy. The chaplain in Anderson's If is a pompous man, proud of his experience as a military chaplain and gung-ho, but fundamentally cowardly and weak at the point of a gun. Oh yes, in the 1970's, school religion seemed to me exhausted and having outlived its time. Only the organ and the choir meant anything to me, together with a desire to know something about God and a spiritual view of life. You would find that more in parish churches outside school than in Chapel. I joined the choir at Holy Trinity, Micklegate – but the Rector was an affable Freemason and an exemplary liberal in the meaning of Christianity without religion! It would take me many years to try to get things sorted out…
Christianity is conveyed by any number of vectors. In the ancient world, it took root by transforming paganism in the western world. It worked just as well in India and China with properly trained missionaries. In the modern world, it is no less in need of some kind of vehicle. That of Muscular Christianity is sport, competition and the cult of the masculine body. Personally, I was more convinced through music and art, and only then was I the least bit curious about the Bible, prayer and knowing more about God. This kind of diversity needs to be respected, and I found it existing sufficiently at my alma mater to have made some impression on me.
We don't have everything right nowadays with the education of children (unless you have pots of money to spend for elitist schools). What is usually called liberalism is a morass of platitudes founded on various forms of deconstructionist ideology such as the Frankfurt School version of Marxism. What I call Liberalism is what was expressed in the wake of the French Revolution in the first half of the nineteenth century, something very different. Certainly we have to assume our lives as human beings, aware of our mortality.
Is it not possible to be a man without being self-conscious about it?

I think that much of this so-called "muscular Christianity" was also very anti-liturgical. This was almost a fetish amongst the Irish as well as the Irish-American Catholics. Liturgy was to be done as unattractively as possible, to avoid the accusation of the clergy being in any way effeminate. Any love of liturgy, chant, beauty in the services was considered to be unmanly. What is strange is that this low-Mass mentality was usually accompanied by the most sickeningly sentimental popular hymns imaginable. In Anglicanism its manifestation was in low-church liturgy.
Here is a prefect example of a pre-Vatican II Irish-American Mass (one can also understand the hatred that American Catholics had not only for beauty in the old rite, but their embrace of the masculine banality of the present novus ordo):

The Cost of Inefficiency in Kansas City
By Patrick Tuohey on Mar 7, 2016
Woody Cozad on Ruckus last Thursday talked about how poorly Kansas City government is managed. While most people are still learning how much our leaders like to divert tax money to wealthy developers to build in nice neighborhoods, fewer people might be aware of the cumulative impact.
In his remarks, Cozad compared Kansas City to Indianapolis. According to a case study written by The Show-Me Institute's Michael Rathbone, Indianapolis is similar to Kansas City in education, median household income and poverty levels. Indianapolis has about twice the population of Kansas City and is just a little larger than Kansas City in total city area. (The study also compared us to Tulsa, Denver, Oklahoma City, Omaha, St. Louis, and Louisville.)
Despite the larger population and larger geographical area than Kansas City, Indianapolis appears to be run much more efficiently. Their total government spending per capita is much lower than Kansas City's, $1.411 to our $2,354. They spend much less on city administration per capita and less for about every other category the paper examined, including public safety, public services, culture and recreation and capital outlays. The Mayor's own Citizen's Commission on Municipal Revenue reported in 2012 that Kansas City has a higher number of employees per capita than most other cities it considered.
If Kansas City leaders were able to bring total spending per capita ($2,354.05) just halfway down to what Indianapolis pays ($1,411.64), it would save us $220 million each year, almost exactly the amount the earnings tax provides. They don't have to match Indianapolis—or the even more efficiently run Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Omaha or Louisville—just get us hallway there.
Even if Kansas City just lowered its per capita city administration spending from its current $210.59 down to the level of Omaha ($109.57) the city would save $46 million per year. We'd save $78 million per year if we reduced it to what Indianapolis spends ($43.47).
Instead, our leaders prefer to dig in their heels and offer only scare tactics about cutting public safety spending. Don't taxpayers deserve better?

Video: The stars who are actually related to the British royal family

Meghan Markle wrote about wanting to be a Princess in her old blog
Years before the Duchess of Sussex even met her new husband, Prince Harry, she revealed that she wanted to be a Princess when she was growing up on her now-shut down lifestyle blog, The Tig. Writing about wanting to be a powerful figure back in 2014, she explained: "Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power. For those of you unfamiliar with the '80s cartoon reference, She-Ra is the twin sister of He-Man, and a sword-wielding royal rebel known for her strength. We're definitely not talking about Cinderella here." Meghan wrote about
Find out why none of the royal family calls the Queen 'Elizabeth'
It is a well-known fact that members of the public should never call the Queen by her first name 'Elizabeth', and instead refer to her as 'Your Majesty' as a first-time greeting and then 'Ma'am' thereafter, but did you know that even members of the royal family avoid using the monarch's first name? The Queen was known affectionately as 'Lilibet' by her parents and grandparents while she was growing up as she was unable to say 'Elizabeth' at a young age, with her father, King George VI, even once saying: "Lilibet is my pride. Margaret is my joy." The Queen's
This new drink is simply PERFECT for the Queen...
For the average British person, there are two drinks that are simply perfect for any time of the day or night - either a good cup of tea, or a gin and tonic. No exceptions. But now, there's a tipple that caters to both needs: Masons Yorkshire Gin which infuses our favourite flavours of tea into something you can enjoy after 5pm. Which we think ticks both of the Queen's favourite boxes, as after all, she's a huge fan of both drinks… Why we love this: if it's not time for gin, it's ALWAYS time for tea MORE: This is how

How Kate Middleton is helping sister Pippa through her first pregnancy
There's no denying that the Duchess of Cambridge and her sister Pippa Middleton have a strong sibling bond.

News of the pregnancy was first reported just hours before Kate went into labour with her third child – at the time it was thought that 34-year-old Pippa was around three months pregnant, meaning the sisters enjoyed a joint pregnancy for some 12 weeks - no doubt

But, there is no guarantee that this will happen as soon as William takes the throne. His aunt Princess Anne, 67, currently holds the title.

W hat does it mean to be an Egg Donor? This isn't a question I have to answer often. As an Egg Donation Consultant, I'm mostly answering questions specifically about the process itself. What are the duties of an Egg Donor? Does the procedure hurt? How long is the process? Perhaps this is because what it means to be an Egg Donor is completely different for each individual. I've known many Donors personally and have met and registered even more. Each woman has a different background and life story. For this reason, Egg Donation means something different for each and every one of them. I can't speak to what it means to be a Donor for anyone other than myself – a three time Egg Donor.
When I did my first cycle, I chose to search independently for my Recipients. I wanted to get to know my Recipients on a personal level. I wanted them to have a greater sense of who I was as a person. I had envisioned a deep connection with my Recipients throughout the process and possibly even after.
I took to online fertility forums in search of a lovely couple I could connect with. I spoke to several couples, who were all wonderful and very deserving of an Egg Donor, but some lived too far and others didn't want to start immediately. Finally, the choice came down to two couples, both incredible couples with stories of hope and triumph. It was a tremendously difficult decision to make as they both desperately wanted to use me as their donor, but sadly I could only chose one. I quickly learnt that in the world of fertility, you can't work fast enough. For a couple trying to conceive, every day spent waiting is a wasted chance of moving forward. If a woman misses her chance at trying to conceive that month, they must wait another full month. That's another 28 days (or possibly longer), another medicated cycle, another wasted chance at starting their family. Most of the couples that require the use of an Egg Donor have already tried for months and even years, only to find out they cannot conceive using their own Eggs. They have been disappointed month after month. Their whole lives become encompassed about trying to conceive and starting their family. It's both heart breaking and exhausting for these couples.
So after agonizing over which couple to choose to help, I made a decision and we began our journey together. I met my Intended Parents in person and we really hit it off, the connection was organic and just felt right. My intended mother came to all my appointments with me and we would often go out for lunch after or sit in the waiting room and chat over cooler water in a cone cup. They were great and tried hard to make this whole process easy on me. They argued with the clinic to ensure I got the latest appointments as I had to drive 2 hours to get to them and a 7am appointment was just too much for this night owl. They picked up and dropped off my meds and checked in on me often. When the time came for the retrieval, my Intended Parents accompanied me to the clinic and we all sent 'baby dust' vibes out into the universe. They waited for me to recover from the procedure and sent me on my way with hugs and smiles. I'll never forget the sight of my Intended Mother crying tears of joy, waving goodbye as I drove away. As much as we enjoyed our time together and the bond we had created, we all agreed it was best for our situation if we didn't maintain contact afterwards. Many recipients feel this way for all sorts of reasons. I understood and respected that.
My second Egg Donation cycle was entirely different. I worked with a wonderful agency who did all the foot work. I was notified when my profile was chosen for a cycle and was told when my appointments were scheduled. I went through the process and the procedure without ever knowing anything about my recipients. I did use a different clinic and had a completely different experience in that respect as well. It was a very different experience, but just as enjoyable. I didn't get to meet my recipients, but while attending the appointments on my own, I was able to connect with so many amazing people sitting in the waiting rooms. Let's be honest, fertility clinics are not known for their quick waiting times. I got to know a lot of people. I met Donors and Recipients of all walks of life with so many different stories. It was incredible. I had a profound respect for every single person I encountered.
So what exactly does being an Egg Donor mean to me? Throughout my Egg Donor cycles, I maintain the same attitude towards this entire journey. I've learnt a lot throughout my journeys and met some wonderful people. I've developed my own meaning to being a Donor. To me, it means helping out a couple in need. It means creating life and making families. It's taking a piece of you and helping to make the world a little happier. It's giving life to somebody's dreams.
When an individual or couple struggles with fertility, every bump in the road can feel like a mountain. Taking it one day at a time is sometimes the only thing you can do to not lose hope. Before you know it, the days turn into weeks, which turn into months and years and all of sudden you hit a wall and feel like it's never going to happen. You feel like you'll never be a mother, a father or a family. That you'll never hold your newborn baby and kiss their soft skin or tell them what they mean to you. To me, being a Donor is the difference between a mother doing those things and never knowing what that feels like. It means letting a father get the chance to teach his son to ride a bike or heroically slaying the monsters beneath his daughter's bed. Being an Egg Donor means helping a couple become a family. Finally, to me, being an Egg Donor means giving a couple or an individual the best gift you could ever give someone. Recognizing that without someone like you, these people may never know the joys of watching a child laugh hysterically at the funny faces you make, or run to you, arms wide open when you pick them up from daycare or come home from a long day at work. Every one deserves to know what it feels like to have a heart full with joy and a family filled with love.


The BA Honours degree in Sustainable Performance Management programme is made up of two units, Accounting and Management Control Systems and Ethics and Sustainability Accounting. In order to complete the programme, both units must be studied and their assignments passed.
The programme is designed to last for one year, with the units studied one after another. Once students have submitted assignments for their first unit of study and the assignment submission period has closed, the second unit of study is then open for students to begin.
The next available registration dates are outlined in the table below. From the formal start of the programme your tutor will be available to pose questions to and provide you with guidance, right the way up until the assignment submission period. However, if you have successfully enrolled on the course before the formal start date, you will be able to access the online learning environment and begin your studies if you choose to.
Each unit comprises of 20 sessions of online learning. Each session comprises of approximately one hour of taught learning material and is designed to engage students and offer interactive features to enhance the learning experience. Together with the taught learning material, students are directed to recommended reading from the University's online library and at the end of each session there are a series of formative learning exercises to enable students to consolidate their learning and practice new techniques introduced. The online material and tutor interaction is intended to guide the student toward the submission of the assignments.
It is expected that students complete the programme within one year, for more information on the assignments and submission dates please see Assessment section.
As part of each unit there will be a series of formative learning exercises at the end of each session. These exercises are not formally assessed and are designed to help students consolidate their learning from the session.
The exercises are fully interactive with answers provided and guidance given on more discursive questions. Typically, each session will include a Quiz and two longer questions, that are designed to develop students' understanding and competence.
Students will have the ability to discuss topics and questions with their peers. An academic tutor for each unit will also be on hand each week to answer questions and provide guidance to students.
The units within the programme are assessed via a number of assignments, see the Assessment section for further details. The assignments will include the production of an academic report. To assist students with this, each unit includes sessions that introduce the required academic skills of: researching, referencing and report writing. These 'skills' sessions give students a thorough understanding of these academic disciplines and guide them through their practical application using commercial illustrations and examples of best practice.
The programme is also designed to encourage students to share their views on the topics studied and explore areas of their learning. To facilitate this, the unit tutors will raise four topics for discussion throughout the learning phase of the unit that students are expected to take part in.
The commercial focus of the units is designed to allow students to relate their academic learning to their careers. Reflection upon topics studied is therefore an important part of the course.

Organizational Design of R&D Activities
Stefan Ambec
Michel Poitevin
This paper addresses the question of whether R&D should be carried out by an independent research unit or be produced in-house by the firm marketing the innovation. We define two contractual structures. In an independent structure, the firm that markets the innovation buys it from an independent research unit which is financed externally. In an integrated structure, the firm that markets the innovation also carries out and finances research leading to the innovation. We compare the two structures under the assumption that the research unit has some private information about the real cost of developing the new product. We find that the integrated structure dominates when an innovation costly to develop is also a less drastic technology or a product less valued by consumers. The independent structure dominates in the opposite case.

Silence floods Washington Hall as the group, Actors From the London Stage, prepares to perform its rendition of Shakespeare's "Hamlet." The five actors and actresses introduce themselves and identify their roles in the production, telltale props and costumes strewn across the stage. Upon completion of this introduction, the actors take their seats, signaling the start of the play.
Actors from the London Stage (AFTLS) was established by Professor Homer Swander from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and British actor Patrick Stewart in 1975. The five members of the company are selected through a standard casting process that involves both auditions and callbacks in London. After going off-book within a month, they are allotted 6 1/2 weeks to construct the entire production. This process not only includes numerous rehearsals, but also the procurement of a large number of props and costumes.
AFTLS kicked off its two-month Fall 2018 tour of "Hamlet," in which an actress plays the traditionally male character of Hamlet, at Notre Dame from Sept. 10 to 16.
This pervasive destruction throughout the play stems from the first encounter with the ghost of King Hamlet, the titular character's father. Sharp lighting and artificially produced wind transport the audience to a cold, dark early morning. The use of the spotlights to highlight the faces of Horatio and the guards creates the feeling of a ghost story, which soon becomes reality with the appearance of a terrifyingly tall and imposing ghost portrayed by actor Ben Eagle. Eagle also plays the dead King Hamlet and Claudius, King Hamlet's brother who is also the new king.
Eagle adds to this perspective with his opinion that King Hamlet isn't the cleanest-cut character, either. He questions the goodness of the ghost, emphasizing tension between these two roles.
"It's throwing up all sorts of issues as to what a villain is, and if that's even something that should be thought about," Eagle says.
A simple, yet effective, pattern of clapping transitions the play between its individual scenes and acts. They are eerie transitions that set the scene for a completely off-putting atmosphere of merriment that characterizes Act 1, Scene 2.
In this scene, Eagle crafts a clever Claudius who dominates the stage with his booming speech and grand gestures. This scene also introduces Queen Gertrude, played by Wendy Morgan; Laertes and Ophelia, both played by Grace Andrews; and Polonius, played by Peter Bray.
Andrews skillfully transitions between Laertes and Ophelia with a red leather jacket and a white lace sash, respectively. She captures the regality and bravery of Laertes as well as the grace and naivete of Ophelia.
Though he grapples with his understanding of Polonius' character, Bray successfully inserts Polonius' presence into the play. He makes light of his constantly changing grasp of Polonius by admiring the process as well as the help from his fellow actors.
Bray shines in his favorite role of First Gravedigger, eliciting laughter from the audience with ease. He balances out Hamlet's gravity with comedy.
Hyland identifies most strongly with her character's hatred of hypocrisy. She realizes that he stands at a crossroads, and she manifests this conflict through powerful soliloquy and punctuated pacing.
The props and costumes serve an important role in differentiating characters and holding their place when actors jump between roles so frequently. The actors get one extra suitcase, "the showcase," in which to stow these articles, which further highlights the personality of each one of them. Hyland knitted the rainbow scarf that Andrews wears as a player when she was 8 years old.

Sexy "Marilyn Monroe" Towers Are Turning Heads
"They have her curves."
Nicknamed "the Marilyn Monroe towers" by local residents in reference to their shapely bodies, the Absolute World towers have become the new landmark in the skyline of Mississauga, a city suburb of Toronto.
The twisting, organic form of the building made it the winner of the "2012 Best Tall Building in the Americas" as awarded by Chicago-based CTBUH, a non-profit group of architects and engineers. The two condo skyscrapers, 50 storeys and 56 storeys each, are part of a five-building development off Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd.
Their curvaceous shape is the brainchild of young Beijing-based architect, Ma Yansong, and his firm, MAD Architects. Ma entered and won the international design competition hosted by the tower's developers Fernbrook Homes and Cityzen. Also part of the design team are Toronto-based Burka Architects who worked on the interiors, and engineering firm Sigmund Soudak & Associates. It's undulating appearance was achieved by rotating each floor plate various degrees, which created many challenges for the towers' builders and engineers. This translated to a total cost of $450 million CDN for the 5 building development with more than half going towards the 2 towers.
Sales of the condo units have been swift, however, with the first tower largely selling out in 24 hours and the second in a matter of weeks. While most of the condo's purchasers have been domestic, the buildings' unique design has also attracted buyers from around the world, who typically have a taste for eye-catching architecture. Popular features include wrap-around balconies that offer 360 degree vistas of the city as well as floor-to-ceiling windows that are deeply recessed into the curving facade to reduce solar gain during summer months.
All the international exposure has created buzz around the architectural community and has even produced articles from CNN and the New York Times. Such a high profile may seem surprising for a suburban condo project, but is actually in step with global trends. Many of the world's new iconic towers are currently being built in younger, mid-size cities where they can provide an instant sense of identity. If Absolute World were to built in downtown Toronto, it would be lost amongst the other towers and quite simply wouldn't be as appreciated as it is in Mississauga. Just as the CN Tower is to Toronto and the Sears Tower is to Chicago, the "Marilyn" towers are the exclamation point in Mississauga's skyline.
This point is echoed in MAD Architect's website, "Like other fast developing suburbs in North America, Mississauga is seeking a new identity. This is an opportunity to respond to the needs of an expanding city, to create a residential landmark that strives for more than simple efficiency and that provides residents an emotional connection to their hometown."
Since winning the 2006 international competition, Ma Yansong and his firm have gone on to make a name for themselves and have designed breathtaking projects such as Fake Hills and Sinosteel Int. Plaza.

Will Alsop-Quadrangle Architects condo in the works: Codename 'Alaska'
Filed under: Uncategorized — 3 Comments
A cutting edge condo project is being proposed for a nondescript part of northern Toronto, in what may be a 'shock and awe' development for local residence. Designed by UK architect Will Alsop with the interiors by Toronto-based Quadrangle Architects, its architecture is unlike anything currently existing in the city. News of 'Alaska' has already stirred up conversations online with comments ranging from "a great leap forward" to "looks like someone slapped an egg carton on a block of cheese."
The glacier inspired building is separated into two distinct components: the 7-storey podium that will be wrapped in a fabric-like woven steel screen, and the 3-storey cantilevered glass-clad structure that is reminiscent of Alsop's famous Sharp Centre for Design OCAD building downtown.
"The client was looking for something a little different," remarks Alsop. "She also wanted to do a different type of interior. You can slide inner walls so that bedrooms become balconies. You can open your whole apartment to the outside. We're trying to keep the units as open and flexible as possible."
The client, former architect Bianca Pollak, added "I believe this part of Yonge needs something. I see this as an opportunity to do something. When Will is involved, the results are always extraordinary. We're all very excited."
Another bold move by Pollak is to build one full floor of underground public parking, a move perhaps to dampen the expected opposition to the project by local residence.
The development, which is to be located on Yonge St. & Strathgowan Ave. (between Eglington & Lawrence avenues) is expected to be submitted to the City's planning department in the coming weeks with community consultations to follow.
Forward-thinking designs always attract strong opinions… what do you think about 'Alaska'?

A Peek Inside Corus Entertainment's Headquarters
Filed under: Uncategorized — 1 Comment
I recently had an opportunity to take a look inside Corus Quay, the 500,000 sq ft headquarters of media giant Corus Entertainment. The LEED certified, high-tech facility was designed by Diamond and Schmitt Architects along with Quadrangle Architects who worked on the interiors.The building is receiving accolades for many things, but most notably for its unique art installations and its sustainable construction.
Reclaimed hemlock wood from a nearby 1910 ferry terminal wharf were used for some of the wall treatment on the main floor.
"Shoal" is an art installation by UK's Troika spanning 160 feet along the ceiling of the public passageway. It is comprised of 467 individually-rotating acrylic fish-shaped objects controlled by custom-designed electronics.
Also by Troika, "Lightning Bolt" is 39 foot high sculpture located in the south facing atrium overlooking the dock and Lake Ontario. The central stem and branches are made from stainless steel and a high-tech polycarbonate cladding and contain 35,000 LEDs that glow bright white during the night.
A three-storey slide playfully connects the staff lounge with the main floor atrium.
One of the building's main 'green' features is the 5-storey biofilter living wall, which along with its psychological benefits also improves the indoor air quality.
Natural daylight is provided to the building's core spaces via the glass roof over the staff lounge.
The 8th floor bar lounge, which opens to a green roof terrace complete with patio furniture and gas barbeques, is also adjacent to a 102 seat theatre equipped with motorized blinds for daytime viewing.

5 Techniques To Photograph Architecture
Given the fact that buildings are static and therefore relatively easy to photograph, I've always wondered why architecture is an often overlooked photographic subject.
It could be that many people shoot buildings square on, which sometimes produces flat and uninteresting photos. Or maybe a famous landmark has been photographed so many times, with the exact same composition, that a photographer figures "Why bother?" and walks on by.
Whatever the reason, following a few basic tips should help you shoot architecture in a more interesting way.
Perspective Compression
When photographing a group of buildings, zoom in with a telephoto lens and try to get as many of them in the composition as you can. This will create an effect in which the buildings will appear to be stacked against one another.
Converging Verticals
When shooting a tall building, get up close and shoot upward with a wide-angle lens to give the appearance of the walls leaning inward. The lower and closer the camera is to the building, the more exaggerated the walls will appear.
Vert Converge
Modern architecture can be a good source of patterns. A repetition of lines, textures or shapes can be used to create eye-catching abstract images. Using a zoom lens will make it easier to isolate unique patterns and eliminate unwanted elements from the picture.
Weave Lomo
Including a person or a group of people in a photo can often better illustrate a building's size. It is important, however, that the person/people not compete visually with the architecture. Ideally, they should be located at the bottom or bottom corner of a photograph and should not be wearing brightly colored clothing.
When photographing architecture, oftentimes a story can be told by focusing on the details of a structure as opposed to its entirety. Looking for pieces of a building that would reveal its character is often more successful than using the building as a whole, especially with old architecture.

The Creative Impulse
cre·ate (verb) to evolve from one's own thought or imagination, as a work of art or an invention.
Working in the architectural field for the past 16 years has been quite a journey, from working late nights to meet deadlines to seeing for the first time your work built and occupied by people. I have always fashioned myself as a creative person and it is one of the main reasons why I chose this profession. However, as the years have passed, I have found that the time spent on the creative aspect of the business has slowly been replaced with budget spreadsheets, scheduling charts and uninspiring, cookie-cutter projects. All in the name of "putting food on the table".
But just like other creative people out there working 9-5 jobs but creating in their off-time, I needed an outlet. That's when I discovered photography. A funny thing happened though, I found myself mostly photographing architecture… talk about 'coming full circle'.
Living in Canada, I was limited to photographing domestic architecture as I haven't had much opportunity to travel in recent years. The muted colours of most of our buildings along with the un-cooperative weather at times resulted in many of my photos lacking vivid, punchy colours. Through experimentation with photo editing, I discovered pops of colour could easily be added to my photographs, but more interestingly, 'what-if' scenarios could be also be explored visually.
Questions like "What if the glass atrium was lit up turquoise blue at night?"
It might look like this:
Museum of Nature in Ottawa
Or "What if the ROM had wavy window frames to offset the straight lines of the white cladding?" It might look like this:
Toronto ROM
All of a sudden architecture was exciting again, somewhat like playtime is for a child. At the very least, this new-found discovery would provide the creative outlet I was longing for… at most it would help spark conversation and engage others about what could be possible in our cities heading into future.
This creative journey is just beginning for me and my hope is many of you out there will join me or even perhaps start your own journey into this fascinating world.

Watch Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow Discuss 'De Palma' at NYFF
Nick Newman○ September 23, 2015
Being a great admirer of Brian De Palma, I found that no film from 2015 was as purely pleasurable as Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow's De Palma, a blow-by-blow examination of the director's massive oeuvre. Its structure is simple — De Palma speaks candidly about his upbringing, early efforts, and subsequent successes (as well as failures); many clips and archival materials are interspersed — but the effect to which their resources are wrung evinces a great deal of attention and care. In Baumbach's own words, "This is the only movie, probably, I can safely say, that I'll be involved with that I can just keep watching over and over again. I find it so interesting."
After screening their work for press and industry members at this year's New York Film Festival, the pair engaged in an Amy Taubin-led Q & A featuring audience questions. It's hit-and-miss, as these things tend to be — I'll pat myself on the back a little too strongly by noting that my own question, the very last, is the only one that seems to impress and stump both of these De Palma experts — but good insights are gathered throughout. My favorite part? When Baumbach explains the unexpected influence by saying, "In a way, Brian, for me, sort of existed as what movies were awaiting me as a I got older. And then, once you start seeing them, they kind of go into your head and they don't come out. I carry so many of those images over. The way I remember them, when I revisit them, I'm always surprised at how different they might be than the way I remembered them."

Sterol regulatory element-binding protein cleavage-activating protein, also known as SREBP cleavage-activating protein or SCAP is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCAP gene.

SCAP contains a sterol-sensing domain (SSD) and seven WD domains. In cholesterol-depleted cells, this protein binds to sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) and mediates their transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. The SREBPs are then proteolytically cleaved and stimulate sterol biosynthesis.

Function

SCAP is a regulatory protein that is required for the proteolytic cleavage of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP). SCAP is an integral membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).  One of the cytosolic regions of SCAP contains a hexapeptide amino acid sequence, MELADL, that functions to detect cellular cholesterol. When cholesterol is present, SCAP undergoes a conformational change that prevents it from activating SREBP and cholesterol synthesis does not occur.

Structure

Scap has 8 transmembrane domains and both the N-terminal and C-terminal face the cytoplasm. Also, it binds SREBP by a series of consecutive WD repeats on its C-terminus.
