P&G Launches New PP Recycling Venture With PureCycle Technologies
Patented technology uses proprietary process to remove color, odor and other contaminants from recycled material and produce a 100% "virgin-like" PP.
Lead the Conversation, Change the Conversation
Is a New Crop of Processors Emerging with More Materials Know-How?
Consumer goods company P&G and PureCycle Technologies will open a plant that will restore used polypropylene (PP) plastic to 'virgin-like' quality with a recycling method that the consumer giants company calls "one of a kind." The patented technology was created in P&G labs and then P&G licensed the technology to PureCycle.
Founded in 2015, PureCycle is opening the feedstock evaluation unit in Lawrence County, Oh. where they will calibrate the PP recycling process. The feedstock evaluation unit will begin operating in January 2018 and continue operations after the full-scale plant opens in 2020. While this is a P&G-developed technology, the recycled PP will be widely available for purchase across industries. According to PureCycle's website, the proprietary process removes color, odor and other contaminants, which produces a 100% virgin-like PP material from recycled feedstock.
"Our approach to innovation not only includes products and packaging, but technologies that allow us and others to have a positive impact on our environment. This technology, which can remove virtually all contaminants and colors from used plastic, has the capacity to revolutionize the plastics recycling industry by enabling P&G and companies around the world to tap into sources of recycled plastics that deliver nearly identical performance and properties as virgin materials in a broad range of applications," says Kathy Fish, P&G's Chief Technology Officer.
"In the U.S. alone, the demand for virgin-quality recycled PP is immense. The Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR) has identified 1 billion pounds of recycled PP demand in North American alone. 720 million pounds of that demand is for 'high-quality' recycled PP," says Steve Alexander, CEO of the APR.
I've been to Resource Recycling's Plastics Recycling Conference two years in a row and both times, speakers including P&G, have talked about the need for more recycled PP. So this will be one to follow closely on any new developments.

The Importance of Melt & Mold Temperature


Bachelors possess a rough idea on children however this reality changes as soon as they marry and also have kids. Earlier, priorities could shift anywhere and anytime for anybody. However, after kids arrive, everything comes second to the children's happiness once we are totally focused towards them. This focus includes clothing options simply because they spend full days inside them. Not just we decide comfortable clothes to put on but additionally would like them to appear their finest. It's not as though they will not look great in almost any dress however a cute dress helps you to contained in proper appearance.
We are able to determine which cloth suits perfect for our children, but shops frequently keep dresses that appear to be fine in the outdoors however the inners sometime do trouble probably the most. Synthetic portions could be permitted as long as they appear only on the outside of side while retaining only cotton around the insides. Growing kids sometimes just cannot withstand rashes along with other discomforts and could linger on for lengthy. Even if you want to take the extra amount, it's worthwhile.
We like our children without doubt, however when spending cash is worried, we have to draw a line somewhere. Expenses must have their limitations and overflow can't be justified each time. However, should you browse around carefully, if you have been online retailers which not just assist you to grab their finest choices however they demonstrate how efficiently it can save you also.
Holybrats have develop a great idea. They've used in-house style selectors who pick contrasting and matching tops & bottoms and make dresses & outfits that raise eyeballs. The good thing to be the minute rates are a minimum of 20% below if a person purchased exactly the same products individually. Imagine how relieved you realize your purse will not lighten towards the extent you considered earlier!
If you pick the dresses, enable your kids possess the final say. Today the children are born smart and understand what suits them best. Bring them into confidence and purchase only when they're around and will also assist in two ways: First, they'll select the dress rapidly and since they've carried this out, come up with it last lengthy, helping you save further expenses.
Yet another point you should never forget. Always pick one size bigger because kids grow in a very rapid rate and also the right sized dress would become useless shortly. Just inform your kids what you would like and they'll go ahead and take right decision. Many a occasions it happens that oldsters select a size in which the children aren't comfortable and do not raise a hue and cry, but merely declined to put on. This is really a inefficient expenditure and really should be prevented by any means.
Take time to examine as numerous dresses as possible prior to making your choice! If at all possible, inspect the gown from the inside & outdoors for just about any synthetic patches or threads that could trouble your kids' tender skin.

Main » 2013 » March » 24 » Barcelona still the best, says Rosell
Barcelona still the best, says Rosell
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell says his club have proven they are still the world's leading football power.
Back-to-back defeats against Real Madrid and a 2-0 Champions League loss away to AC Milan in February had prompted some to speculate this dip was symptomatic of a deeper decline at the club.
But Rosell said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo that there was never any serious cause for concern, and played down the significance of the 4-0 win over Milan.
"If the question is from the point of view of those who began to doubt (it makes sense), because I did not remove any burden," he replied when asked whether victory over AC Milan took a weight off Barcelona.
"If it is from a sporting point of view, because I want to win with Barca, the players were more animated, especially to make sure Tito (Vilanova) had the best reception on his return – that took a thousand kilos off us.
"But if we're talking about a crisis, institutional or in terms of values, I could not see that anywhere because there was no burden to remove. Barca is still the best team in the world.
"I think this story is more to do with the media than reality. These things do not interest me."
Rosell also took the opportunity to praise the work of Jordi Roura, who will step down from his role in charge of the first team after Vilanova's return from cancer treatment in New York.
"For me Roura has been a hero, despite knowing that some people say I exaggerate," the 49-year-old Spaniard said
"He has done extraordinary work and has demonstrated loyalty that is rarely seen in people today. He has done his job very well and so far has earned his salary then we'll see what happens."

Staying on beat
Irvin Rosales balances school, two jobs, and a music-industry internship
Author: Sandra Baltazar Martínez
Irvin Rosales sometimes gets overwhelmed with life. But he doesn't slow down.
The third-year UC Riverside student takes a full course load, works at the Career Center, drives home to Glendale on the weekends where he works as a restaurant server, and commutes twice a week from Riverside to Culver City for a music-industry internship.
Rosales, 21, studies music and culture, a hybrid degree that integrates historical and ethnographic components, a blend he said is a great fit for him. He's not interested in working on a stage, but rather behind the scenes of the music world. At his internship with Mr. Max Publishing, he's learning about artist development, songwriting rights and policies, and how the entertainment world works.
Last year, he produced a 35-page project for one of his classes detailing how music emerges from natural disasters. Rosales looked at artists who used their musical skills to promote social change after calamities such as hurricanes Katrina and Maria. The research involved geographic and racial implications, economic conditions of those impacted, and the artists whose songs provided solidarity and empowerment to those communities.
"I learned that most of this is to primarily bring awareness to issues that are bigger than the artists themselves," Rosales said. UCR Assistant Professor of Music, Xóchitl Chávez assisted him with the project.
"Xóchitl guided me, pushed me to produce something on a topic that hasn't been researched much before," he said. "It was tough to gather the information, but it taught me to think outside the box."
Rosales created a minute-by-minute lyrical analysis of three "unity songs," which sought to bring awareness to hurricane and earthquake victims, Chávez said.
"He is a very astute student as his work spoke about the historical disparity and lack of infrastructure of each affected community," Chávez said. "He is a hardworking and promising young scholar."
He also took a genealogy of Hip-Hop class with Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology Liz Przybylski.
"He made useful connections between cultural movements that have shaped music-making, pop music industry forces, and current sounds," Przybylski said. "His ability to listen critically is a great asset for working with a label."
His love for music grew at home, where music is always playing. As a kid, Rosales' mother played the drums in her native Guatemala. And when his father immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico, he went to see Selena in concert — his first live show.
Rosales attended the School of History and Dramatic Arts, a performing arts high school in Los Angeles where he was introduced to "Grease." The school helped him break out of his shell. He performed at middle schools as a way to promote the arts, and it also connected him with Mujeres de la Tierra, a local non-profit, to offer bilingual telenovelas, soap operas, at a community park. That was his first acting gig.
The combination of his work experience and love for music will lead him to grad school, Rosales said. In addition to school and work, as the oldest of three children, he also feels responsible for setting a good example to his younger siblings.
"I want to be a role model for them. I want them to see me doing something that I love," Rosales said. "And when I explained to my parents what my major was, they understood. Now I feel their efforts to raise me are not going to waste."
At UCR's Career Center, his job as a front desk assistant has given him many opportunities, he said. He found his internship through HandShake, the Career Center's job search database, and now shares his own experience with other students searching for internships.
"For me, I like helping people. As a first-generation student, I like helping others who might be in a situation like mine," Rosales said. "Sometimes all this is a lot to handle and balance, but I know it's worth it."

Grayling substantially expanded its international client base in the past 12 months, with new business from the Ryder Cup Europe and European corporate work for Hilton Worldwide, London City Airport, Western Union and the European Commission.
It also won the global account for Lloyds TSB and consumer work for Marks & Spencer in the UK.
The agency expanded its global network with the opening of a Shanghai office, which attained 15 clients in its first nine months of operation, including Diageo, Heineken and Allianz. Grayling hired Wolfgang Lang as CEO for its German office, to replace outgoing Hanning Kempe, who joined Fleishman-Hillard. Stephan Oehen was recruited to head the agency's Switzerland office.
Longstanding employee James Acheson-Gray left his role of MD of the London base to join APCO. CEO Michael Murphy announced he would be stepping down and would take on a part-time chairman role when a new CEO is recruited.

Rodgers warns Liverpool against placing high expectations on Coutinho
The Reds' manager believes too often young players suffer from the burden of expectation, but praises the Brazilian's impressive display in Saturday's 6-0 away win at Newcastle
Brendan Rodgers insists Liverpool should not put pressure on young attacker Philippe Coutinho following his excellent performance in the Reds' 6-0 away win over Newcastle on Saturday.
The Brazilian playmaker moved to Anfield in January for a fee of £8.5 million from Inter Milan and has since become a regular in the first team, scoring two goals in his nine starts.
Rodgers, however, is determined to avert pressure and expectation away from his young star, though conceded that Coutinho had made a brilliant start to life in the Premier League.
"We build up players in the country and put them on a pedestal and then quickly nail them down," Rodgers told the club's official website.
"He's had an outstanding performance and people can see why we brought him in. He's 20 years of age and fits the culture of what we're trying to do here.
"He's technically strong and he's a very humble boy. He works hard, you can see the effort in his game, the pressure, the intensity, so he fits in really well, but there's a long way to go.
"If you look at the stats you'll see I haven't eased him in gently. He's played nearly every game."
Coutinho was central to his side's attacking threat at St James' Park in the absence of Luis Suarez, setting up Daniel Sturridge for Liverpool's third goal with a particularly impressive through-ball.
Rodgers continued: "It was a wonderful demonstration of what we're trying to do here. Offensively, we passed the ball very well first and foremost and we scored six goals, but the balance in our game was good too.
"There was organisation, educated pressure on the ball and when the chances came we were ruthless. It was an outstanding performance.
"To go there and beat Newcastle 6-0 when you know the home team really needs the victory, I think it tells you more about our performance. The players were outstanding."

As you get started with PPC advertising, it's not always easy to distinguish fact from myth. Subsequently, you can find yourself traveling down the wrong path as the result of bad advice.
• You have to pay for the #1 spot to generate results. While it may be ideal in regards to exposure, it's not the only position that allows you to drive traffic to your website.
• You can set a PPC campaign and forget about it for the meantime. This is a myth that can get you into all sorts of trouble, as it can cost you both time and money. It's important to be hands on with your campaign, as it allows you to make changes on the fly.
• PPC advertising costs an arm and a leg. There's no denying the fact that you'll spend some money, but you don't have to blow through all your cash reserves to get up and running. You can start with a small budget, see how things progress, and then adjust your spending from there.
• PPC ads are played out. Even though there are people who avoid PPC ads, there are just as many who click on these when they're enticed to do so. If PPC ads were truly played out you wouldn't see them everywhere.
• Google is the only game in town. Yes, Google is top dog in the world of PPC advertising, but you don't want to stop there. You have other options, such as Bing (among others), that can provide a nice return on investment. Don't paint yourself into a corner by putting all your money into Google.
It doesn't matter if you're new to PPC advertising or have been using it for years, you don't want to let any of these myths stand between you and success.
Would you add any other myths to this list? What steps are you taking to avoid these?

When I first became interested in CRM systems and business strategies it was because of what I consider to be its core promise: using these systems and business strategies would give any company (organization) the opportunity to know / understand the needs, motivations, desires, pain points, etc. of their customers, and with this knowledge be in the position to deliver better solutions / answers for those needs.
If the above is true; how come there is so much attention / discussion around behavioral tracking and such strong efforts to do something about it? Isn't behavioral tracking an extension of knowing your customers better and catering to the needs they "express" as they vote with the most valuable currency they have? (Time!).
As a user I need to be provided with simple and readily available means to control when and where my "digital bread crumbs" are captured.
From my point of view this is precisely what the "THE SELF-REGULATORY PROGRAM FOR ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING" has proposed; it is my hope the FTC follows this sensible approach..

Home Entertainment MTV Movie and TV Awards winners
MTV Movie and TV Awards winners
MTV, I think, more appropriately probably stands for Movie and Television Channel than what it used to stand for back in the 80's and 90's – Music Television. Moniker and acronyms aside, as the television station has started to lose its relevance and focus on music, its relevance in the wider entertainment industry has certainly grown and remains culturally relevant. At least to the younger demographic. This year's re-branded MTV Movie and TV Awards has been a perfect example of this as not only has the award show broken gender boundaries by having male and female performers compete with one another, but also tries to capture what is important to this younger generation and not just critics.
This last point being obvious if you gauge at the below list of winners to see how the majority of winners are younger than 40 years of age, something which contrasts it with the major award shows like the Oscars or Golden Globes.

"Hidden Figures" — Winner
Overall, I think this is a decent list of winners for a more refined award show. Interestingly enough, with men and women competing for the same awards, it seems that men overwhelmingly won for the night, with only two women winning individual awards. That those awards happened to both be for the acting categories though is a pretty bold statement and while it's still early days, I definitely like the idea of acting categories to be done this way.
From a local perspective, it's great to see Trevor Noah pick up an award for best TV Host for the Daily Show. The comedian continues to see his profile grow in the US and whether you love him or not, you can't deny that his brand of political views and humour is striking a chord with audiences. It's great to see a local celebrity grow like this and is a good thing for South Africa as Noah is not afraid to shine light on the country.
There was also an MTV Generation Award given out for the Fast and the Furious films and the notable impact they've made on the existing generation. A nice touch for the franchise that continues to break box office records.
I have mixed feelings about Beauty and the Beast chosen for Best Movie as I definitely think it wasn't the best of the bunch, but if Box Office performance is anything to go by, it shouldn't surprise and again reflects the popularity of the film rather than its artistic merit. I still don't like the idea of Best Kiss being award worthy – but I have long given up on trying to understand what is popular with the general populace.
In the end, the MTV made some bold decisions with their Film and TV Awards show that I think ultimately proved to be correct. They may not be about music anymore, but they are keeping in touch with the cultural trends of the youth which could perhaps keep this award show relevant.

Leon Battista Alberti
Leon Battista Alberti (Italian: [leˈom batˈtista alˈbɛrti]; February 14, 1404 – April 25, 1472) was an Italian Renaissance humanist author, artist, architect, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher and cryptographer; he epitomised the Renaissance Man. Although he is often characterized exclusively as an architect, as James Beck has observed,[1] "to single out one of Leon Battista's 'fields' over others as somehow functionally independent and self-sufficient is of no help at all to any effort to characterize Alberti's extensive explorations in the fine arts." Although Alberti is known mostly for being an artist, he was also a mathematician of many sorts and made great advances to this field during the 15th century.[2] Alberti's life was described in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects.
April 25, 1472(1472-04-25) (aged 68)
Architecture, linguistics, poetry
Tempio Malatestiano, Palazzo Rucellai, Santa Maria Novella
Leon Battista Alberti was born in 1404 in Genoa. His mother is not known, and his father was a wealthy Florentine who had been exiled from his own city, allowed to return in 1428. Alberti was sent to boarding school in Padua, then studied Law at Bologna.[3] He lived for a time in Florence, then travelled to Rome in 1431 where he took holy orders and entered the service of the papal court.[4] During this time he studied the ancient ruins, which excited his interest in architecture and strongly influenced the form of the buildings that he designed.[4]
Alberti was gifted in many ways. He was tall, strong and a fine athlete who could ride the wildest horse and jump over a man's head.[5] He distinguished himself as a writer while he was still a child at school, and by the age of twenty had written a play which was successfully passed off as a genuine piece of Classical literature.[3] In 1435, he began his first major written work, Della pittura, which was inspired by the burgeoning pictorial art in Florence in the early 15th century. In this work he analyses the nature of painting and explores the elements of perspective, composition and colour.[4]
In 1438 he began to focus more on architecture and was encouraged by the Marchese Leonello d'Este of Ferrara, for whom he built a small triumphal arch to support an equestrian statue of Leonello's father.[3] In 1447 he became the architectural advisor to Pope Nicholas V and was involved with several projects at the Vatican.[3]
His first major architectural commission was in 1446 for the facade of the Rucellai Palace in Florence. This was followed in 1450 by a commission from Sigismondo Malatesta to transform the Gothic church of San Francesco in Rimini into a memorial chapel, the Tempio Malatestiano.[4] In Florence, he designed the upper parts of the facade for the Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella, famously bridging the nave and lower aisles with two ornately inlaid scrolls, solving a visual problem and setting a precedent to be followed by architects of churches for four hundred years.[6] In 1452, he completed De re aedificatoria, a treatise on architecture, using as its basis the work of Vitruvius and influenced by the archaeological remains of Rome. The work was not published until 1485. It was followed in 1464 by his less influential work, De statua, in which he examines sculpture.[4] Alberti's only known sculpture is a self-portrait medallion, sometimes attributed to Pisanello.
Alberti was employed to design two churches in Mantua, San Sebastiano, which was never completed, and for which Alberti's intention can only be speculated upon, and the Basilica of Sant'Andrea. The design for the latter church was completed in 1471, a year before Alberti's death, but was brought to completion and is his most significant work.[6]
As an artist, Alberti distinguished himself from the ordinary craftsman, educated in workshops. He was a humanist, and part of the rapidly expanding entourage of intellectuals and artisans supported by the courts of the princes and lords of the time. Alberti, as a member of noble family and as part of the Roman curia, had special status. He was a welcomed guest at the Este court in Ferrara, and in Urbino he spent part of the hot-weather season with the soldier-prince Federico III da Montefeltro. The Duke of Urbino was a shrewd military commander, who generously spent money on the patronage of art. Alberti planned to dedicate his treatise on architecture to his friend.[5]
Among Alberti's smaller studies, pioneering in their field, were a treatise in cryptography, De componendis cifris, and the first Italian grammar. With the Florentine cosmographer Paolo Toscanelli he collaborated in astronomy, a close science to geography at that time, and produced a small Latin work on geography, Descriptio urbis Romae (The Panorama of the City of Rome). Just a few years before his death, Alberti completed De iciarchia (On Ruling the Household), a dialogue about Florence during the Medici rule.
Alberti, having taken holy orders, remained unmarried all his life. He loved animals and had a pet dog, a mongrel, for whom he wrote a panegyric, (Canis).[5] Vasari describes him as "an admirable citizen, a man of culture.... a friend of talented men, open and courteous with everyone. He always lived honourably and like the gentleman he was."[7] Alberti died in Rome on April 25, 1472 at the age of 68.
Further information: Mathematics and architecture
Alberti regarded mathematics as the common ground of art and the sciences. "To make clear my exposition in writing this brief commentary on painting," Alberti began his treatise, Della Pittura (On Painting), "I will take first from the mathematicians those things with which my subject is concerned."[8]
Della pittura (also known in Latin as De Pictura) relied in its scientific content on classical optics in determining perspective as a geometric instrument of artistic and architectural representation. Alberti was well-versed in the sciences of his age. His knowledge of optics was connected to the handed-down long-standing tradition of the Kitab al-manazir (The Optics; De aspectibus) of the Arab polymath Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham, d. c. 1041), which was mediated by Franciscan optical workshops of the 13th-century Perspectivae traditions of scholars such as Roger Bacon, John Peckham and Witelo (similar influences are also traceable in the third commentary of Lorenzo Ghiberti, Commentario terzo).[9]
In both Della pittura and De statua, Alberti stressed that "all steps of learning should be sought from nature."[10] The ultimate aim of an artist is to imitate nature. Painters and sculptors strive "through by different skills, at the same goal, namely that as nearly as possible the work they have undertaken shall appear to the observer to be similar to the real objects of nature."[10] However, Alberti did not mean that artists should imitate nature objectively, as it is, but the artist should be especially attentive to beauty, "for in painting beauty is as pleasing as it is necessary."[10] The work of art is, according to Alberti, so constructed that it is impossible to take anything away from it or add anything to it, without impairing the beauty of the whole. Beauty was for Alberti "the harmony of all parts in relation to one another," and subsequently "this concord is realized in a particular number, proportion, and arrangement demanded by harmony." Alberti's thoughts on harmony were not new—they could be traced back to Pythagoras—but he set them in a fresh context, which fit in well with the contemporary aesthetic discourse.
In Rome, Alberti had plenty of time to study its ancient sites, ruins, and objects. His detailed observations, included in his De re aedificatoria (1452, On the Art of Building),[11] were patterned after the De architectura by the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius (fl. 46–30 BC). The work was the first architectural treatise of the Renaissance. It covered a wide range of subjects, from history to town planning, and engineering to the philosophy of beauty. De re aedificatoria, a large and expensive book, was not fully published until 1485, after which it became a major reference for architects.[12] However, the book was written "not only for craftsmen but also for anyone interested in the noble arts," as Alberti put it.[11] Originally published in Latin, the first Italian edition came out in 1546. and the standard Italian edition by Cosimo Bartoli was published in 1550. Pope Nicholas V, to whom Alberti dedicated the whole work, dreamed of rebuilding the city of Rome, but he managed to realize only a fragment of his visionary plans. Through his book, Alberti opened up his theories and ideals of the Florentine Renaissance to architects, scholars and others.
Alberti wrote I Libri della famiglia—which discussed education, marriage, household management, and money—in the Tuscan dialect. The work was not printed until 1843. Like Erasmus decades later, Alberti stressed the need for a reform in education. He noted that "the care of very young children is women's work, for nurses or the mother," and that at the earliest possible age children should be taught the alphabet.[10] With great hopes, he gave the work to his family to read, but in his autobiography Alberti confesses that "he could hardly avoid feeling rage, moreover, when he saw some of his relatives openly ridiculing both the whole work and the author's futile enterprise along it."[10] Momus, written between 1443 and 1450, was a misogynist comedy about the Olympian gods. It has been considered as a roman à clef—Jupiter has been identified in some sources as Pope Eugenius IV and Pope Nicholas V. Alberti borrowed many of its characters from Lucian, one of his favorite Greek writers. The name of its hero, Momus, refers to the Greek word for blame or criticism. After being expelled from heaven, Momus, the god of mockery, is eventually castrated. Jupiter and the other gods come down to earth also, but they return to heaven after Jupiter breaks his nose in a great storm.
Architectural works
The dramatic facade of Sant' Andrea, Mantua, (1471) built to Alberti's design after his death
The unfinished and altered facade of San Sebastiano has promoted much speculation as to Alberti's intentions.
Alberti did not concern himself with the practicalities of building, and very few of his major works were brought to completion. As a designer and a student of Vitruvius and of ancient Roman remains, he grasped the nature of column and lintel architecture, from the visual rather than structural viewpoint, and correctly employed the Classical orders, unlike his contemporary, Brunelleschi, who utilised the Classical column and pilaster in a free interpretation. Among Alberti's concerns was the social effect of architecture, and to this end he was very well aware of the cityscape.[6] This is demonstrated by his inclusion, at the Rucellai Palace, of a continuous bench for seating at the level of the basement. Alberti anticipated the principle of street hierarchy, with wide main streets connected to secondary streets, and buildings of equal height.[13]
In Rome he was employed by Pope Nicholas V for the restoration of the Roman aqueduct of Acqua Vergine, which debouched into a simple basin designed by Alberti, which was swept away later by the Baroque Trevi Fountain.
Some studies[14] propose that the Villa Medici in Fiesole might owe its design to Alberti, not to Michelozzo, and that it then became the prototype of the Renaissance villa. This hilltop dwelling, commissioned by Giovanni de' Medici, Cosimo il Vecchio's second son, with its view over the city, may be the very first example of a Renaissance villa: that is to say it follows the Albertian criteria for rendering a country dwelling a "villa suburbana". Under this perspective the Villa Medici in Fiesole could therefore be considered the "muse" for numerous other buildings, not only in the Florence area, which from the end of the 15th century onwards find inspiration and creative innovation here.
Tempio Malatestiano, Rimini
The Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini (1447, 1453–60)[15] is the rebuilding of a Gothic church. The facade, with its dynamic play of forms, was left incomplete.[6]
Façade of Palazzo Rucellai
The design of the façade of the Palazzo Rucellai (1446–51) was one of several commissions for the Rucellai family.[15] The design overlays a grid of shallow pilasters and cornices in the Classical manner onto rusticated masonry, and is surmounted by a heavy cornice. The inner courtyard has Corinthian columns. The palace set a standard in the use of Classical elements that is original in civic buildings in Florence, and greatly influenced later palazzi. The work was executed by Bernardo Rosselino.[6]
The polychrome facade of Santa Maria Novella
At Santa Maria Novella, Florence, between (1448–70)[15] the upper facade was constructed to the design of Alberti. It was a challenging task, as the lower level already had three doorways and six Gothic niches containing tombs and employing the polychrome marble typical of Florentine churches such as San Miniato al Monte and the Baptistery of Florence. The design also incorporates an ocular window which was already in place. Alberti introduced Classical features around the portico and spread the polychromy over the entire facade in a manner which includes Classical proportions and elements such as pilasters, cornices and a pediment in the Classical style, ornamented with a sunburst in tesserae, rather than sculpture. The best known feature of this typically aisled church is the manner in which Alberti has solved the problem of visually bridging the different levels of the central nave and much lower side aisles. He employed two large scrolls, which were to become a standard feature of Church facades in the later Renaissance, Baroque and Classical Revival buildings.[6]
Alberti is considered to have been the consultant for the design of the Piazza Pio II, Pienza. The village, previously called Corsignano, was redesigned beginning around 1459.[15] It was the birthplace of Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini, Pope Pius II, in whose employ Alberti served. Pius II wanted to use the village as a retreat but needed for it to reflect the dignity of his position.
The piazza is a trapezoid shape defined by four buildings, with a focus on Pienza Cathedral and passages on either side opening onto a landscape view. The principal residence, Palazzo Piccolomini, is on the west side. It has three stories, articulated by pilasters and entablature courses, with a twin-lighted cross window set within each bay. This structure is similar to Alberti's Palazzo Rucellai in Florence and other later palaces. Noteworthy is the internal court of the palazzo. The back of the palace, to the south, is defined by loggia on all three floors that overlook an enclosed Italian Renaissance garden with Giardino all'italiana era modifications, and spectacular views into the distant landscape of the Val d'Orcia and Pope Pius's beloved Mount Amiata beyond. Below this garden is a vaulted stable that had stalls for 100 horses. The design, which radically transformed the center of the town, included a palace for the pope, a church, a town hall and a building for the bishops who would accompany the Pope on his trips. Pienza is considered an early example of Renaissance urban planning.
Sant' Andrea, Mantua
The Basilica of Sant'Andrea, Mantua was begun in 1471,[15] the year before Alberti's death. It was brought to completion and is his most significant work employing the triumphal arch motif, both for its facade and interior, and influencing many works that were to follow.[6] Alberti perceived the role of architect as designer. Unlike Brunelleschi, he had no interest in the construction, leaving the practicalities to builders and the oversight to others.[6]
San Sebastiano, Mantua, (begun 1458)[15] the unfinished facade of which has promoted much speculation as to Alberti's intention[6]
Sepolcro Rucellai in San Pancrazio, 1467)[15]
The Tribune for Santissima Annunziata, Florence (1470, completed with alterations, 1477)[15]
Giorgio Vasari, who argued that historical progress in art reached its peak in Michelangelo, emphasized Alberti's scholarly achievements, not his artistic talents: "He spent his time finding out about the world and studying the proportions of antiquities; but above all, following his natural genius, he concentrated on writing rather than on applied work."[7] Leonardo, who ironically called himself "an uneducated person" (omo senza lettere), followed Alberti in the view that painting is science. However, as a scientist Leonardo was more empirical than Alberti, who was a theorist and did not have similar interest in practice. Alberti believed in ideal beauty, but Leonardo filled his notebooks with observations on human proportions, page after page, ending with his famous drawing of the Vitruvian man, a human figure related to a square and a circle.
In On Painting, Alberti uses the expression "We Painters", but as a painter, or sculptor, he was a dilettante. "In painting Alberti achieved nothing of any great importance or beauty," wrote Vasari.[7] "The very few paintings of his that are extant are far from perfect, but this is not surprising since he devoted himself more to his studies than to draughtsmanship." Jacob Burckhardt portrayed Alberti in The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy as a truly universal genius. "And Leonardo Da Vinci was to Alberti as the finisher to the beginner, as the master to the dilettante. Would only that Vasari's work were here supplemented by a description like that of Alberti! The colossal outlines of Leonardo's nature can never be more than dimly and distantly conceived."[5]
Alberti is said to be in Mantegna's great frescoes in the Camera degli Sposi, the older man dressed in dark red clothes, who whispers in the ear of Ludovico Gonzaga, the ruler of Mantua.[16] In Alberti's self-portrait, a large plaquette, he is clothed as a Roman. To the left of his profile is a winged eye. On the reverse side is the question, Quid tum? (what then), taken from Virgil's Eclogues: "So what, if Amyntas is dark? (quid tum si fuscus Amyntas?) Violets are black, and hyacinths are black."
Alberti made a variety of contributions to several fields:
Alberti was the creator of a theory called "historia". In his treatise De pictura (1435) he explains the theory of the accumulation of people, animals, and buildings, which create harmony amongst each other, and "hold the eye of the learned and unlearned spectator for a long while with a certain sense of pleasure and emotion". De pictura ("On Painting") contained the first scientific study of perspective. An Italian translation of De pictura (Della pittura) was published in 1436, one year after the original Latin version and addressed Filippo Brunelleschi in the preface. The Latin version had been dedicated to Alberti's humanist patron, Gianfrancesco Gonzaga of Mantua. He also wrote works on [sculpture], De Statua.
Alberti used his artistic treatises to propound a new humanistic theory of art. He drew on his contacts with early Quattrocento artists such as Brunelleschi, Donatello and Ghiberti to provide a practical handbook for the renaissance artist.
Alberti wrote an influential work on architecture, De Re Aedificatoria, which by the 16th century had been translated into Italian (by Cosimo Bartoli), French, Spanish and English. An English translation was by Giacomo Leoni in the early 18th century. Newer translations are now available.
Whilst Alberti's treatises on painting and architecture have been hailed as the founding texts of a new form of art, breaking from the Gothic past, it is impossible to know the extent of their practical impact within his lifetime. His praise of the Calumny of Apelles led to several attempts to emulate it, including paintings by Botticelli and Signorelli. His stylistic ideals have been put into practice in the works of Mantegna, Piero della Francesca and Fra Angelico. But how far Alberti was responsible for these innovations and how far he was simply articulating the trends of the artistic movement, with which his practical experience had made him familiar, is impossible to ascertain.
He was so skilled in Latin verse that a comedy he wrote in his twentieth year, entitled Philodoxius, would later deceive the younger Aldus Manutius, who edited and published it as the genuine work of 'Lepidus Comicus'.
He has been credited with being the author, or alternatively the designer of the woodcut illustrations, of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a strange fantasy novel.[17]
Apart from his treatises on the arts, Alberti also wrote: Philodoxus ("Lover of Glory", 1424), De commodis litterarum atque incommodis ("On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Literary Studies", 1429), Intercoenales ("Table Talk", c. 1429), Della famiglia ("On the Family", begun 1432) Vita S. Potiti ("Life of St. Potitus", 1433), De iure (On Law, 1437), Theogenius ("The Origin of the Gods", c. 1440), Profugorium ab aerumna ("Refuge from Mental Anguish",), Momus (1450) and De Iciarchia ("On the Prince", 1468). These and other works were translated and printed in Venice by the humanist Cosimo Bartoli in 1586.
Alberti was an accomplished cryptographer by the standard of his day, and invented the first polyalphabetic cipher, which is now known as the Alberti cipher, and machine-assisted encryption using his Cipher Disk. The polyalphabetic cipher was, at least in principle, for it was not properly used for several hundred years, the most significant advance in cryptography since before Julius Caesar's time. Cryptography historian David Kahn titles him the "Father of Western Cryptography", pointing to three significant advances in the field which can be attributed to Alberti: "the earliest Western exposition of cryptanalysis, the invention of polyalphabetic substitution, and the invention of enciphered code." David Kahn (1967). The codebreakers: the story of secret writing. New York: MacMillan.
According to Alberti himself, in a short autobiography written c. 1438 in Latin and in the third person, (many but not all scholars consider this work to be an autobiography) he was capable of "standing with his feet together, and springing over a man's head." The autobiography survives thanks to an 18th-century transcription by Antonio Muratori. Alberti also claimed that he "excelled in all bodily exercises; could, with feet tied, leap over a standing man; could in the great cathedral, throw a coin far up to ring against the vault; amused himself by taming wild horses and climbing mountains." Needless to say, many in the Renaissance promoted themselves in various ways and Alberti's eagerness to promote his skills should be understood, to some extent, within that framework. (This advice should be followed in reading the above information, some of which originates in this so-called autobiography.)
Alberti claimed in his "autobiography" to be an accomplished musician and organist, but there is no hard evidence to support this claim. In fact, musical posers were not uncommon in his day (see the lyrics to the song Musica Son, by Francesco Landini, for complaints to this effect.) He held the appointment of canon in the metropolitan church of Florence, and thus – perhaps – had the leisure to devote himself to this art, but this is only speculation. Vasari also agreed with this.[7]
He was also interested in the drawing of maps and worked with the astronomer, astrologer, and cartographer Paolo Toscanelli.
In terms of Aesthetics Alberti is one of the first defining the work of art as imitation of nature, exactly as a selection of its most beautiful parts: "So let's take from nature what we are going to paint, and from nature we choose the most beautiful and worthy things"[18]

GTT and Yangzijiang enter agreement for membrane technology vessels
The shipyard will construct four dual-fuelled container ships for Pacific International Lines using GTT's membrane technology.
France-based Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) has entered a technical assistance and licence agreement with Chinese shipyard Yangzijiang for the development of vessels deploying GTT membrane technologies.
Having taken the first validation steps in March, Yangzijiang has now concluded the GTT qualification process.
The shipyard has received an order for four 8,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) dual-fuelled container ships from Pacific International Lines (PIL).
The liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel tanks of these vessels will be equipped with GTT's membrane technology.
Each fuel tank will include Mark III membrane containment technology as well as other features that will help the vessels convert to ammonia fuel in the future.
The four vessels are expected to be delivered in each quarter of 2025.
GTT chairman and CEO Philippe Berterottière said: "We are honoured to be working with such international renowned partner. Yangzijiang team have demonstrated their determination by obtaining our license in record time.
"In a tight market, this new partnership will provide new shipbuilding capacities to meet current demand. We look forward to a long and successful collaboration with our new partner."
In July, GTT secured approvals in principles (AiPs) from DNV for the design of a membrane-type containment system for liquefied hydrogen (LH₂) and the preliminary concept design of an LH₂ carrier.
The AiPs are part of an agreement that was signed in February with Shell for the development of advanced technologies for the transportation of LH₂.

Ever since the 1890s, our organization has been an advocate for Indiana municipalities. But in recent years we knew it was time to evolve.
Indiana looks much different than it did in the late sixties when we first become known as the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns; however, we realized we simply hadn't changed with the times. We needed to modernize, to reimagine who we are and what we could become.
In 2017 we unveiled a transformation of our organization and became Aim, Accelerate Indiana Municipalities. We're more vibrant, relevant, and engaged than ever before.
Aim is the official voice of municipal government in Indiana, with more than 460 cities and towns as members. In recent years we have simply reimagined our role in helping to shape the dynamic municipalities of the future – and in making government work better for the benefit of all Hoosiers.
"To foster, promote and advocate for the success of Hoosier municipalities as laboratories of innovation, hubs of talent and the engines driving our state's economy."
We continue to challenge our staff and members to be nimble and proactive. This vision represents a collaborative mindset for working with legislators and a determination to facilitate open discussions between lawmakers and municipal leaders.
Moving municipalities forward isn't something we can do alone; we collaborate in our efforts with businesses, agencies, nonprofits, universities, and other organizations. These experts in municipal government work closely with us to ensure their expertise is maximized for the benefit of all.
Aim is governed by officers and a board of directors. We are a non-partisan organization, and maintaining nonpartisanship is an important aspect of our governance. Members of our board hold various municipal elected offices and represent municipalities of all sizes.
Putting Purpose into Action
Empowering our Members
While we host a major conference and more than 100 training sessions and workshops each year, we know that building lasting relationships involves more than just workshops, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. We want our members to engage each other, to talk about where they're finding their biggest opportunities and how they're handling their toughest challenges. Similarly, we want to facilitate honest discussions between legislators and municipal leaders so that there are always open lines of communication.
Focusing on Quality of Place
Quality of place initiatives permeate everything we do. Bold thinking about what cities and towns can become drives our actions. And Aim dives into non-traditional areas to advocate for the betterment of cities and towns, and the people who live and work in them. Infrastructure, funding, and community health remain our key areas of focus.
Collaborating with Legislators
We're committed to collaborating with lawmakers – and getting involved sooner – on critical long-term issues and key initiatives involving quality of place.
We look to build new alliances so that we can dig deeper and broader into issues. When the time comes to effect change, we have already laid the foundation by building lasting relationships built on trust and transparency.
