INSTITUUT HEILIG HART VAN MARIA
Education is no longer only between four walls. And the relationships between the school building and the play area, the pupils and the community are becoming increasingly important.
The competition asked for a vision of a new outdoor space, a school and a sports hall to the existing complex, the Institute Sacred Heart of Mary in the small Flemish village of Berlaar. Our concept lets the existing and new landscape determine the character of the area like the garden of the monastery. Thought of as a series of islands, the landscape alternates paved or green to give the students different possibilities to move, meet, play sports or just to rest. The school building very compact, designed in three layers where the landscape extends into the school. Natural daylight and views over the countryside makes the center of the building a pleasant and orderly place to study. The sports hall is compact as possible where the existing gymnasium, together with the new hall to a new building with a clear sculptural form made, lined with vertical elements behind glass in some places by the light enters.
In the design of the school an optimal indoor air quality is achieved due to the use of natural materials to pollution of indoor air by Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to minimize the use of a mechanical ventilation system. Solar gain is regulated by the North oriented skylights and efficient blinds spot of the facades. The energy efficiency of the building is realized by a compact building with a favorable ratio between the floor surface and outer surface. Due to the relatively small wall and roof can close and open facade parts optimally insulated within the available budget. The balanced ventilation with heat recovery on the exhaust air from both the rooms and the atrium.

Draft Delhi Master Plan 2041 Envisions Cyclist, Pedestrian-Friendly City
Draft Delhi Master Plan 2041 Envisions Cyclist, Pedestrian-Friendly City. (Representational)
From minimising points of conflict between motorised vehicles and pedestrians or cyclists to making subways and foot over bridges safe, the draft Delhi Master Plan (MPD) 2041 envisions a city that will promote cycling and walking.
The draft MPD 2041 has been made available on the website of the Delhi Development Authority and public suggestions and objections have been invited, a senior DDA official said on Wednesday.
The draft said, "Delhi's high active travel potential needs to be leveraged and enhanced for people to choose active travel not only as an affordable mobility option but also as one that is comfortable, safe and accrues health and environmental benefits to the individual and the city."
The document delineated that the implementation of strategies for promoting active travel (walking and cycling) shall facilitate increased access to green and safe mobility.
According to the draft, the provision of barrier-free and continuous non-motorised transport network infrastructure such as footpaths, cycling tracks, etc., for providing shorter and comfortable routes, should be included as part of the design of all new road infrastructure and for the improvement of the existing roads.
"Points of conflict of pedestrians or cyclists with motorised vehicles shall be minimised through infrastructure provisions as per the patterns of active travel characteristics. Pedestrian and bicycle crossings shall be at grade as far as possible. Carriageways shall incorporate traffic calming elements," the draft said.
Subways or foot over bridges should be cross-programmed through commercial activity, public art, street performances etc., to ensure a safe and vibrant environment, it added.
The draft also said active travel shall be promoted by designing an urban environment where more people choose it as a preferred means for both destination travel i.e., to work, school, place of worship, stores, theatres, public transit etc., as well as recreational travel.
"Streets shall be designed to ensure equitable distribution of road space and safe mobility for users of all ages and abilities, prioritise barrier-free movement for pedestrians and cyclists, and provision of enabling infrastructure to create an ecosystem for active travel," it said.
Existing streets shall be incrementally retrofitted to serve pedestrians and cyclists better. Pedestrian walkways or footpaths shall be provided mandatorily in new development areas, according to the draft.
Installation of pedestrian signals shall be preferred over grade-separated crossings to ensure ease of use for pedestrians, wheelchair users, and cyclists. Pelican crossing system shall be installed near schools and other major pedestrian crossings, especially for children, the elderly and people with disabilities.
Provision of street furniture i.e. benches and other seating, garbage bins, signage, public utilities, e.g. restrooms, child care rooms, changing rooms and drinking water spouts at regular intervals, etc, should be there, the draft stated.
Improved shading during the day and illumination during the night for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists should also be provided.
Active travel areas shall be identified by the concerned agencies around high activity nodes in the city and "Walk Plans" prepared and implemented in these areas to improve pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, the draft said.
"Walk Plans" shall be made for at least an area within a radius of 400-500 metres (5-10 minutes walking distance) around any specific destination node, such as a heritage precinct, a market, existing residential colonies etc., it said.
Certain corridors shall be identified and developed as cycling highways facilitating long-distance active travel across the city, it added.
The master plan also proposes green mobility corridors, exclusive pedestrian and cycling pathways along natural drains and river Yamuna as city-level dedicated corridors.
Battery-operated e-bikes and other green mobility options may be encouraged, it said.
Energy generating tiles may be used for footpaths and paved areas. The energy, coupled with solar energy, can be used to power street lights as well as provide charging points for mobiles and other electronic gadgets near seating or resting spots, it added.
State-of-the-art surveillance technology can be employed to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, adherence to traffic rules and prevention of vandalism of street furniture, the draft said.
Also, consistent with the Delhi Maintenance and Management of Parking Places Rules, 2019, a comprehensive area-based approach shall be adopted for the management of parking in an area or locality, it said.
Parking charges for public parking will be "dynamic" and variable rates shall apply across the city at different times to spatially distribute the parking demand.
"Parking charges can be temporarily increased for air pollution control during periods of severe pollution as per the Graded Response Action Plan for Delhi – Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change," the draft said.

Uber's 'sustainable mobility' plan includes e-bike charging stations
The company is also putting funds towards efforts that serve the public interest.
Mallory Locklear, @mallorylocklear
09.26.18 in Transportation
Uber made a handful of announcements today centered on sustainable mobility, including a new fund, partnerships that support data sharing and charging docks for its Jump bikes. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a post today that as more people use Uber's platform as a means for transportation, the company's technology becomes an increasingly important part of the cities in which it's used. "With that comes a responsibility: we recognize we need to step up and support cities that take bold steps to solve their transportation problems," he said. "We are in a unique position to have a meaningful and positive impact on the communities we serve across the globe -- a responsibility we don't take lightly."
As part of this effort, Uber will put $10 million over the next three years towards ideas "that put the long-term public interest over maintaining the mobility status quo." One of the ideas it's already backing is congestion pricing, advocating for the move in New York City, which is considering charging vehicles a fee when operating during peak congestion hours. The company has committed $1 million in its campaign for the tax, which as Khosrowshahi puts it, would be on Uber's "core business." However, it should be noted that Uber plans to pass those fees onto riders since it's the rider's behavior such fees are intended to adjust. "The whole point is to provide the correct incentive to the rider," Andrew Salzberg, head of Uber's transportation policy, told The Verge.
Further, to improve the available data that cities have to work with when considering new policies, Uber is partnering with the nonprofit SharedStreets, donating $250,000 to the group and helping develop new standards for how private firms, like itself, can share valuable traffic information such as road speed data with the cities in which they operate. "This is something cities have been asking us for, and we're thrilled to be able bring it to life in cities across the globe," said Khosrowshahi.
Lastly, Uber will begin rolling out charging stations for its dockless Jump e-bikes. This will allow these bikes to be charged in areas where people tend to drop them off anyway instead of them having to be collected and charged elsewhere. This effort will kick off in Sacramento, where Uber says it's "partnering closely" with public authorities.
Uber's reputation was dealt a number of blows over the past few years as it was involved in scandal after scandal while under the helm of former CEO Travis Kalanick. And these announcements are the latest moves from a company working to improve that tarnished image. Khosrowshahi reiterated that Uber was committed to doing its part to solve urban problems, adding that the company was "thrilled to be making steps toward delivering on that promise."

'Miracle' cat predicts deaths of 100 people in nursing home
Ten-year-old Oscar has been comforting patients in their dying days at Steere House Nursing centre since he was a kitten
Meet Oscar the cat who is believed to have predicted the deaths of 100 people at a nursing home.
The 10-year-old tabby spends his days roaming the halls of Steere House and is known by nurses for being notoriously anti-social.
But the only people the miracle moggy cuddles up to are residents in their final dying days.
Gifted: Oscar the cat is known for his amazing abilities (
Steerehouse.org)
Staff and doctors at the Rhode Island centre are baffled by Oscar's natural ability to seek out the dying and offer them much-needed comfort and support.
The talented puss has even proven medical staff wrong on several occasions of which patients were close to death.
His gift was first revealed in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007 and since then he is believed to have presided over the deaths of around 100 people.
Staff: The talented puss has proven medical staff wrong (
The author of the report, Dr David Dosa told Mirror Online: "He only comes to the 'end of life' patients who are near death, I think he is attracted in some capacity to them.
"I think he probably is responding to a pheromone or a scent."
He wrote in the report: "His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death, allowing staff members to adequately notify families."
Oscar also offers much-needed comfort to the terminally ill residents who would have otherwise died alone.
Comfort: Oscar is a great help to families and the terminally ill (
Dr Dosa said: "Lots of families have told me that having Oscar around is a great comfort for them and their loved ones.
"Whether it's just cuddling up to people who are alone or keeping children busy, it's really something that the families were grateful and thankful for."
The tables turned in November 2013 when Oscar suffered a serious allergic reaction and he was taken into intensive care, where his heart stopped beating and he died for several seconds.
But luckily, quick-thinking vets managed to revive him and he was taken back to the nursing home where he became a patient for a few months.
These days Oscar is back to full fitness and has resumed his role comforting patients near the end of their lives.
Dr Dosa added: "Oscar is doing well and still comforts patients from time to time. He is a real miracle."

In early 2017, rumors surfaced online that Levy had an affair with Mexican actress Jacqueline Bracamonteback in 2009 after they appeared in a soap opera together.
In recent years, the couple has become more tight-lipped about what goes on in their romantic lives. Their son Christopher Alexander who was born in March 2006 plays baseball. In March 2017, his dad revealed via an Instagram post that he was part of a local team Clutch Miami that won a baseball championship. Their daughter named Kailey Alexandra was born on March 6, 2010. Levy is incredibly fond of his children and frequently posts about their individual achievements online. The family of four reside together in Miami, Florida.
Is He Gay?
Nope! William Levy is far from being a gay man, as his relationship with Elizabeth Gutiérrez proves. However, many began to question his sexuality after he told Fox News in a 2014 interview that he was open to taking up gay roles. Levy didn't imply that he was gay but only said he wanted to expand his brand and not be seen as just the hunky model man.

The co-owners and chief operating officer of one of the largest Iraqi dinar exchangers in the United States were convicted last month by a federal jury following a five-week trial.
Tyson Rhame, James Shaw, and Frank Bell were each convicted of mail and wire fraud conspiracy, as well as multiple counts of mail and wire fraud. Rhame and Bell were also convicted of making false statements to federal law enforcement agents.
According to Acting U.S Attorney Erskine, the charges, and other information presented in court: Rhame and Shaw owned and operated the Sterling Currency Group, which was once one of the country's largest sellers of the Iraqi dinar. Bell was Sterling's chief operating officer. Between 2010 and June 2015, Sterling grossed over $600 million in revenue from the sale of the Iraqi dinar and other currencies, while Rhame and Shaw received over $180 million in distributions.
The evidence at trial established that the defendants took steps to make investors believe they would get rich by investing in the Iraqi dinar. At one point, Rhame posted information on Sterling's website falsely suggesting that the dinar was about to revalue. At other times, Rhame and Bell falsely claimed that Sterling would cash out investors at airports around the country following a dinar "revaluation." The defendants also paid substantial sums of money to third parties who in turn spread false information about the dinar on conference calls and Internet chat rooms.
Tyson Rhame, 53, and James Shaw, 55, both of Atlanta, Georgia, and Frank Bell, 55, of Decatur, Georgia, were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and multiple mail and wire fraud counts. Rhame and Bell were also convicted of making false statements to federal agents regarding Sterling's operations. The jury acquitted the defendants of money laundering charges. A fourth defendant, Terrence Keller, was acquitted of all charges at trial.
Why is there no mention as to weather or not the so-called RV of the Dinar is in itself never going to happen?
I bought mine in 2004 and as of yet there has been no official statement pertaining to this issue.
There are many, many more people out there selling these Dinars so why haven't they "all" been arrested?
What recourse do we as investors have. I personally had two million dinar on reserve. With a two dollar deposit.?
I agree with you George!!! The answer to your question is a simple one-the other ones aren't black owned or grossed 600 mil in revenue.
That's a very good question. But the Dinar is going to be re-instated. This is different to a revaulation.
What about Dinar Trade ? Are they Legit ???
Didn't Sterling get raided in 2015, give or take a year? Their scammng was not in the fact they traded in Iraqi Dinar. Rather in the fact they were short selling their dinar to people with lots of false hype. Fake news probably started with them and the multiple fake sources they had as "experts" . Each fake expert verifying the other fake expert "with contacts" that the IQD was going to RV/RI in days. So if you wanted to get in on the RV/RI now send them (I forget) 30% now, they would send you your money minus the $ owed when it RV/RI in days. Their twist was that if it didn't RV you would loose your deposit. Boom … the scam because they knew it wasn't going to happen then. Dinar Trader and Safedinar are legit.
Curtis, don't believe those crooks – get your dinars in your hands. There's no such thing as dinar insurance or any hold/ layaway in the world like that so stop paying them and buy your dinars outright – maaajor scam! If you can't afford enough to get a million Dinars then get $100 worth or if you can't afford that then buy one IQD25,000 note for $30 or whatever it is at your local Forex currency exchange, and then buy another one next month and so on. Better to be safe than sorry.
Curtis don't believe those crooks – there's no such thing as Dinar or any other currency insurance/layaway plan! Get your Dinars in your hands. If you can't afford to buy a million then by $100 worth if you can't afford that then by at least 25,000 Dinar note for $30 or whatever and then gradually buy more. The Iraqi Dinar is not a scam – it will be worth more money whether it's $0.10, $0.25, $1 or $3 or whatever but there are many unscrupulous dealers who are scamming people with false information, layaway plans etc.
I too want to know how us investors can get our money back that we paid to Sterling? I have copies of everything.
I do not see any news that would suggest the currency won't ever Float again, 1 bought over 40 ml and plenty more for friends and relatives ,at no stage was is ever suggested that it would never Revalue/ reinstate / Float.
What is interesting is a News Site called Currency News Hound telling everyone everyday that RV was 99.9% going to happen and it was imminent .
I think this news site was responsible for thousands of people wanting Dinars.
As for Dinar Trade well they were shut down 2 to 3 years Prior.
To suggest they were squeeky clean is an insult.
Why do we still see chat forums ie: Dinar Guru ,Adam Montana etc etc.
And I wonder if the US treasury will pay people back.
I also wonder if this currency will now Float ,considering they had to make a case against Sterling before it ever did ,if not then You could argue Sterling were correct.
Many people who invested in this did so hoping for a quick return.
Who holds the key who determines when it will Float ,my opinion it can only appreciate when it floats on the International money Market.
Also is it not the Del a Rue people who print the currency ,and are they not part of the IMF also the site promoting a soon to be RV currency news hound owned by Tomas Reuter also connected with the IMF.
Has the FBI looked at those people or organisations ,it seems very sus that Billions of Dinar Notes were imported into the USA and then because of a chat site called the GETS team, they then find out. People are being told all these near term buys would create millions in wealth .
I would have thought Customs would have seen what was coming in and out of the Country and bank wire transfers world wide into the USA. In particular to Sterling or Dinar Banker.

Online adoption: finding a child through Facebook
- Claire Vanner
Gay couple found adoptive son on Facebook and use social media to keep in touch with his mother.
The Brads completed their modern American family when they welcomed their son Kyler to the world.
Kyler was adopted, but not through the traditional route. Brad Letson and Brad Benton met Kyler's mother through Facebook.
The Brads, as they are known to their friends, created an advert on Facebook that would pop up to friends of friends, but only females within a certain age range, specifying that they were looking to adopt.
The advert read: "Loving gay couple in DC area seeks open adoption of a baby. Contact us if you'd like to place your baby in a home full of joy!"
Kyler's mother, Sesa Juliana, got in touch and the trio emailed, exchanged phone calls and Skype conversations to arrange the adoption. When she was eight months pregnant, the adoption was confirmed.
"We have friends who are in the adoption process as well and they are doing the exact same thing. They have their own website set up, they Facebook, they Twitter, they set up all kinds of accounts to show the world they are open to adoption and looking for a family," Letson told the BBC as part of their Living Online series.
Facebook can match children with prospective parents in a way similar to online dating.
The Brads also use technology to help Kyler to keep in touch with his mother via Facebook and Skype.
"It's enabled me to sustain a relationship with Kyler who lives out-of-state. I have been able to be involved in almost all of his daily life through technology," said Juliana.
"The interesting thing for Kyler is he doesn't really know any different and he's been growing up seeing videos of himself, pictures of himself on the iPhone, iPad and Skype so it kind of is his world. We think of it as something new but he doesn't know any different," aid Letson.
The Brads share everything through Facebook and have created an online community to help other couples going through the adoption process.
"It's not for everybody, others would not do it that way, they would be a little more private, but we're choosing to be more open so people can have a better understanding of adoption," said Benton.

Coach Stewart has used this multiple attack defense to turn around three different schools that had poor records including 0-20, 1-19 and a team that won eight games in the 5 years prior to his arrival. Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.
Build a multiple defense using the principles of the 4-2-5, 4-4 and 3-4 defenses to dominate opponents.
Rick Stewart has put together a very detailed video that will help any defense. He demonstrates how to build this system with simple alignment rules and limited assignment changes for his defensive backs and outside linebackers. You will never have to change the alignment, read, or run fit of your two inside linebackers.
Throughout the video, Coach Stewart discusses using cover 2, 3, and 4, with cloud and sky concepts. His whiteboard descriptions explain the differences in each coverage and how to use all of them with limited changes for the outside linebackers and defensive backs. He dedicates a great deal of discussion to route combinations and how they are handled in each coverage. He also includes detailed description of run fits and technique that are interchangeable between coverage schemes.
After his description of each coverage, the focus turns to individual technique and drills. As Stewart points out, his playbook determines the drills. Every drill is designed to simulate game situations seen in their multiple defensive looks. You will see whiteboard diagrams and descriptions of four drills for his backpedal progression, five tackling drills used for the defensive backs, and seven coverage drills for 1-,3-, and 5-step routes. Also covered are specific drills for the outside linebackers that concentrate on defeating four types of blocks, pass coverage and tackling. The whiteboard session is followed with on-field video of players executing each drill.
Stewart also covers group pursuit drills that are done in group sessions with only the defensive backs and outside linebackers. Using this system, your team will embody the motto, "eleven helmets, one poor soul".
This multiple defense allows for a simplistic approach to a system that will seem complex to your opponent. Your team will spend time mastering simple assignments while your opponent spends time preparing for multiple defensive strategies.
Confuse opposing offenses using multiple defensive looks!
Power Point, drill walk through, and live footage!
See the installation sequence in spring, summer, and August!

'Avatar 2' BTS image reminds us that these movies are still happening
Scott Campbell Dec 8, 2021 12:54 pm 2021-12-08T12:55:01-05:00
This year marks the twelfth anniversary of James Cameron's Avatar coming to theaters, which went on to become the highest-grossing movie of all time, a title it still holds after regaining the top spot from Avengers: Endgame following a lucrative Chinese re-release.
The second installment in the franchise was originally scheduled for release in 2014, but won't be arriving until December of 2022⏤maybe. Even by Cameron's exacting standards, an eight-year delay is pushing it a little, but there are absolutely guarantees that we'll all be sitting in a theater and returning to Pandora twelve months from now.
The Avatar sequels have already been in production for four years, and the end is nowhere near nigh. A new behind the scenes image from Total Film showcases star Sam Worthington clearly having a lot more fun than his director, which you can check out below.
'Avatar 2' BTS image reminds us these movies are still happening
The burning question is whether or not we really need another four Avatar movies in our lives, but it's a foolish thing to write off James Cameron, a filmmaker that's spent the last 25 years doing nothing but pushing boundaries and taking his sweet-ass time doing anything. For all we know, he could be poised to break his own box office record for a staggering third time.

ZENITH is the largest aggregate and quarrying gear manufacturer and exporter in China. Many gear utilized by the Brazilian company is produced by ZENITH.The demand for quarried aggregates is huge. Quarries underpin the ongoing development and upkeep of Brazil. Stone is an important element utilised within the construction of properties, factories, schools, hospitals and buying centres.
