The Chinese Character 世 /shi/ we chose means generations, a lignting candle represents three generations in a family. We hope that this piece of work can send out the message of cherishing the lovely family time. The newborn baby is the grandchild, man with a suitcase is the father, and man on a cane is the grandfather.
According to our ideas, we made a 3 d model with 123 d software. The three characters in scaffold stand on a different platform but strung together to present an image of three generations.
According to the 3D model, we 3D printing out a shape of the candlestick of three generations with the proportion of 1:1.
After the completed model finished, a new idea came out that we can make the concept into a lamp with the light bulbs instead of their heads.

The Riskiest Start in Yankees History?
Updated Oct. 19, 2010 12:01 am ET
(Please see Corrections and Amplifications below.)
Yankees fans might fear that scheduled Game 4 starter A.J. Burnett is going to be the worst pinstriped hurler to ever take the mound in the postseason, but they can take solace in the fact that he's not—he's the second worst.
In Game 4 of the 1937 World Series, the Yankees inexplicably gave a start to Bump Hadley, whose 5.30 ERA that season ranked 63rd out of 68 major leaguers with at least 150 innings pitched. It went about as well as you might expect, as he gave up five runs while only getting four outs. Luckily for the Yankees, his disaster start was the only one they would lose in the series, and Mr. Hadley got a World Series ring for being teammates with far more talented players.
New York isn't so fortunate this time around, as they don't have Lou Gehrig or Joe DiMaggio around to make up for a struggling starter. Mr. Burnett's 5.26 ERA is only slightly better than what Mr. Hadley's was back then, though an ERA over five was much worse 73 years ago when offense was hard to come by. However, even if we restrict our search to more recent pitchers, it's hard to find a Yankees team that trusted a starter who had been as bad as Mr. Burnett has been this year.
Randy Johnson was given a first-round start against the Tigers in 2006 despite a 5.00 ERA. But aside from his problems that year, he had a long history as one of the game's best-ever pitchers. His pedigree couldn't save him, though, as he coughed up five runs in 5 2/3 innings and took the loss.

Before Michael Pollan came along, eating as a form of politics was a fringe activity. Dubbed the "liberal foodie intellectual" by the New York Times, the American activist and author has spent the last two decades writing bestselling books, such as "In Defence of Food" (2008) and "The Omnivore's Dilemma" (2006), in an effort to popularise cooking and highlight the defects of the food industry and the rich world's bad eating habits.
Mr Pollan's latest book, "Cooked", is divided into four sections: fire, water, air and earth. Although something of an authorly conceit, these divisions allow him to explore a range of culinary topics from the joy of making soufflés that rise to why bacteria are needed in fermentation. He also returns to a conundrum he has previously described as the "cooking paradox": why it is that people now spend less time preparing food from scratch and more time reading about cooking or watching cookery programmes on television.
Mr Pollan explores the same way a naturalist might, by studying the animals, plants and microbes involved in cooking, and delving into history, culture and chemistry. With help from experts he masters the "whole hog" barbecue, a loaf of bread and the cooking pot. He describes the remarkable transformations that take place in the humble saucepan, where fibres are broken down, seeds softened and rendered edible, plants detoxified, and flavours brought together from far-flung taxonomic kingdoms.
Mr Pollan is keen for this trend to be reversed and his book is a hymn to why people should be enticed back into the kitchen. Cooking, he believes, creates bonds between humans and the web of living creatures that sustain and nourish them. Turning away from this means that foods that are tasty and healthy (as bread once was) are being taken off the menu with far-reaching consequences. Industrially produced food almost always trades in quality ingredients for higher amounts of sugar, salt and fat—with a corresponding rise in levels of obesity.
Before refrigeration, bad food often killed people. Bacteria, such as E. coli, occasionally still do. In recent decades a great deal of research has been done on the array of good microbes humans carry within them and which they need in order to stay healthy. "Cooked" is particularly informative about the rapidly moving scientific frontier of microbial ecology and how, in a post-Pasteurian world, the live-culture foods which used to make up a large part of the human diet are good for people and for the microbes that live inside the gut.
The book dwells on fermented foods, for example. These have largely vanished from supermarkets but many cultures have developed such specialities, including Malaysian tempoyak, (fermented durian fruit), Russian kefir (similar to yogurt) and Mexican pozole (a maize stew). Even bread, cheese and chocolate all depend on harnessing the power of microbes. These invisible forces travel alongside humans, Mr Pollan says, in a "dance of biocultural symbiosis", cleverly transforming, sterilising or even adding nutrients.
Mr Pollan recognises that cooking today is very different from what it was in his grandmother's time, and that decades from now even a limited desire to cook may be seen as quaint. This would be a shame. Real cooking (not just heating up) allows people to create, to put their own values into food, to escape the industrialised eating that has created health crises all over the world. Cooking is part of being human. The alternative is to evolve into passive consumers of standardised commodities that promise more than they deliver. Best of all, argues Mr Pollan, cooking makes people happy.

Green Wall to restore 100mn hectares of African land
The Great Green Wall, an Africa-led initiative against desertification, has announced bold targets to restore 100 million hectares of land and create 10 million green jobs across the Sahel region by 2030.
Partners of the Initiative announced the targets in a communique issued after a high-level breakfast meeting held on the sidelines of the ongoing Conference of Parties (COP 14) to United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in New Delhi, India.
Co-chaired by UN Deputy Secretary-General, Ms. Amina Mohammed, and Josefa Leonel Correia Sacko, African Union Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, the event was facilitated by UNCCD in collaboration with the Pan-African Agency of the Great Green Wall (PAGGW).
The partners raised concerns that 65 per cent of land on the African continent was still degraded and called for the initiative's swift upscaling and acceleration to further advance social cohesion, climate action and economic development via a transformative ecological corridor that supports millions of lives.
The communique said that the large-scale landscape restoration of 100 million hectares of degraded land across 13 participating countries would help transform the lives of those living on the frontline of climate change and desertification.
It said that the creation of 10 million green jobs through sustainable value chains would also connect local producers to lucrative global markets
The project would also help in the promotion of clean energy, powering communities along the Wall to a brighter future and creating local economies that ensure land remains productive, it said.
The partners also agreed to adopt a more innovative approach and robust coordination mechanism required for real transformation and resource mobilisation, leveraging the region's assets and the opportunities offered by the youth and women as the main drivers of change.
It noted that the upcoming UN Secretary General's Climate Action Summit on Sept. 23 in New York would be crucial in further galvanising support to advance affirmative action for the Great Green Wall by 2030 and inspire a global restoration movement.
Participants in attendance included the African Union Commission, Pan African Agency of the Great Green Wall, ministers from countries participating in the Pan African Agency for the Great Green Wall Initiative, Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Heads of COP Delegation from UNCCD parties and the UN system.
Nigeria is a key participant in the Great Green Wall for Sahara and Sahel region, an Africa-led initiative against desertification launched in 2007 by the African Union to restore the continent's degraded landscapes and transform millions of lives.
Once completed, the 8,000-kilometre-long wall and natural wonder of the world, stretching across the entire width of over 20 countries in the continent, would be the largest living structure on the planet.
Over $8 billion have been mobilised and pledged in its support by African countries and international partners under the leadership of the African Union Commission and Pan-African Agency of the Great Green Wall.

but I have not done it yet because of the bad weather.
Outside of the cloudy window, it looks like rain is coming.
It does not make sense to dry when wet.
My older brother became sick the other way.
While sleeping I explain the condition to my mother.
"These days it will be like this"
it turns into silver like aluminum powder.
Indeed, I think that it may cause blindness.
However, it seems strange that he will get worse before me.
It is a strange story that the mother is still alive.


I believe when the BRT comes in to play, there will be a daytime downtown circulator. There should be two lines that go through downtown, but a circulator billed as 'lunch service' was in the recent vision, I believe.
a regular and reliable all day circulator in downtown will be pivotal to moving away from the current (admittedly shrinking) surface parking lots and to meaningful infill.

Aureliano in Palmira, dramma serio per musica in two acts to a libretto by G. Felice Romani, was first produced at the Teatro alla Scala, Milan, on 26th December 1813.
The singers at the first performances were Luigi Mari (Aureliano), Lorenza Correa (Zenobia), Giovanni Battista Velluti (Arsace), Luigia Sorrentini (Publia), Gaetano Pozzi (Oraspe), Pietro Vasoli (Licinio), Vincenzo Botticelli (Gran sacerdote).
The autograph has been lost.
The story is based on events that took place in 272 B.C., during the Roman Emperor Aurelian's re-conquest of the wide territories in the East occupied by Zenobia, widow of the King of Palmyra – in the Syria of today – and governed by her on behalf of her son, still a minor. In the course of their military campaign the Romans defeated the army of Palmyra and their allies on numerous occasions, even besieging Palmyra and forcing Zenobia to capitulate. The Queen was captured and carried off to Rome, and in nearby Tivoli enjoyed a luxurious imprisonment for the rest of her life. Despite Felice Romani's protest that "not for a moment had he strayed from believable events", the compression of various battles during the course of the opera does not make it easy to follow the plot.
The great Temple of Isis. The priests of Palmyra are trying to gain favour with the Goddess in view of the oncoming battle with the Romans, but the auguries are not promising. The entrance of Arsace, Prince of Persia, and of Zenobia, his beloved, raises their spirits, since the armies of the two nations will be fighting together. News comes that the Roman army has crossed the Euphrates (in reality, about two hundred kilometers away from Palmyra); all prepare for battle. The High Priest of Isis, left alone, observes that however disastrous the result may be to him personally, Arsace will have won imperishable glory. A widespread battlefield after a bloody battle. The Persians are effectively routed and Arsace has been captured. Aurelian tries to convince him to abandon the cause of Zenobia, who by this time is under siege in Palmyra, but all in vain. Zenobia herself comes to visit the Emperor in his camp in an attempt to obtain Arsace's release. Aurelian, who falls in love with the Queen, refuses the gifts which she has brought as ransom for Arsace and asks her to surrender; but Zenobia, although the captured Persians beg her to give way, is intent on fighting. Inside an ancient fortress where Arsace is imprisoned. Zenobia visits the Prince in his prison. Aurelian joins them and offers Arsace his freedom if he will give up his loving relationship with the Queen. Arsace refuses, and Zenobia tells Aurelian that they will meet on the battlefield.
A vast underground chamber. We are in Palmyra. Zenobia has been defeated and Palmyra taken by storm. The great ones of the kingdom of Palmyra have gathered together in this last refuge, where they are joined by the Queen, closely followed by Aurelian. Once more he places an alternative before Zenobia: she must either give up Arsace or be a part of the triumphal entry of the Roman army onto the Capitol. While Aurelian is listening to Zenobia's refusal, news arrives that Oraspe, a general in the army of Palmyra, has freed Arsace, who is now a fugitive. A pleasant hillside on the banks of the Euphrates. Shepherds and shepherdesses come out of their cottages in holiday mood, happy that their lowly estate keeps them protected from the hazards of war. Arsace finds his way into this sheltered spot, thinking about his destiny. The shepherds recognize him, and would like the Prince to stay with them in their peaceful retreat; Arsace, however, replies that his place is beside Zenobia. When they hear that Zenobia is in Aurelian's clutches, Arsace takes up his arms again to free her. A hall in the palace. Meanwhile, in Palmyra, Aurelian (although Publia, the daughter of the late Emperor Valerian, who is in love with Arsace, warns him that it will be wasted labour) once more makes overtures of peace to Zenobia, offering her a throne beside his from which she can reign over the entire world. However, Licinius, a Roman tribune, warns him that Arsace has gathered together his defeated and dispersed soldiers, and is entering into Palmyra with the help of the people. A new battle has therefore become inevitable, and Aurelian goes off. Soon afterwards Zenobia learns of Arsace's defeat and escapes, helped by Oraspe. A remote spot near the palace, by moonlight. Arsace, oppressed by gloomy thoughts, manages to meet Zenobia, and they engage in amorous discourse for the last time. When Aurelian comes on, Arsace decides firstly to kill Zenobia and then commit suicide; the arrival of the Romans prevents this. Although Aurelian is furious at these proofs of the indissoluble love between Arsace and Zenobia, he cannot help admiring their constancy. A hall in the palace. Publia, giving up all idea of love for Arsace, begs Aurelian to save him. The leading citizens of Palmyra also plead for him. When Aurelian has considered these appeals, he decides to be merciful. If Arsace and Zenobia will swear eternal loyalty to Rome, they may freely return to reigning over their kingdoms. The two lovers duly swear loyalty and the opera concludes among the general rejoicing.

- Sailing and surfing therapist
- B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Social work (M.SW)
- Sailing since 1994
- Graduate of The Israeli naval academy, Captain-major of a patrol ship- Dabur
- Senior instructor in Hardiness program of the Israeli naval academy,

- Founder member of "Migdalor"- A preparatory program for youth-at-risk, using sailing as an educational instrument
While instructing in "Haifa sailing"- A competitional club for young sailors, I've noticed that most of the children who show up, looking for fun and human connection. As a part of this special connection, which develops at sea between the guide and the sailors, the kids showed their difficulties and strength through the sail.
As I kept studying and exploring the sailing therapy world, I saw in the sea and in our meeting a unique opportunity to use the marine environment as an instrument to overcome obstacles and to strengthen powers. I find sailing, surfing and the sea a powerful instrument, which allows kids and adolescents to express in an experiential way, and to relate their strengths and difficulties in a none verbal way, and to see a change visually.
One child who sailed with me has a tendency for a disorder, and as he set sail, he forgot parts of his equipment on the shore. This wasn't the first he had forgotten his stuff, but now he has a real opportunity for a change. From this moment he understood his responsibility experientially and could have used this skill in other places.
'In one boat' therapy center is giving emotional, behavioral and cognitive meaningful experiences and practical tools for kids and adolescents who find it hard to sit and talk, and need a different environment, open and enable growth.
We create a 'tailor-made therapy suit' for every family who applies to our center, according to the needs and goals of the parents and child.
Openness, clarity, and humaneness are the three corner-stones we relay in our work with the families, who let us observe and understand the child and his family through using his existing strengths in order to make a change in their life.
