Sussanne calls living with Hrithik during lockdown a "soulful decision"
Jeetesh Luhar
@Indian_Thriller
When the lockdown was announced around the world, there was a mad rush for people to prepare for this strange period in their lives. Superstar Hrithik Roshan, in his lock down set up, took to his Instagram page and revealed that his ex-wife Sussanne Khan has moved in with him to co-parent their sons Hrehaan and Hridaan.
Roshan shared a photo with a caption saying "This is Sussanne, who has graciously volunteered to temporarily move out of her home so that our children are not disconnected indefinitely from either one of us."
Khan herself wrote an article on in Vogue India where she shared her experience about lockdown. She said, "When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and the news was out that a lockdown would be imperative, Hrithik and I decided that staying together in the same home would be the more intelligent and soulful decision for our sons, and us. We realised early on that the days ahead would require us to regroup our energies towards creating serenity for one another. With that thought in mind, and a heap full of love, we started on our lockdown adventure."
She went on to share, "So here we are, in lockdown for more than 45 days, living through an unusual time that we have never experienced before in our lifetimes. On the first day itself, we sat together and created a list of 'quarantivities' (activities to do as a family in quarantine). The idea was to structure our days in such a way that we grow our minds, warm our hearts and keep our bodies fit and strong—where we have no option but to use a little creativity and innovation to enjoy our days without a sense of monotony seeping through."
Khan also went into detail about what she likes about her family lockdown. "What I enjoy the most is the one hour reading time we've set aside for ourselves. It was Hrithik's idea that we should do this, sit together silently in the same room and read our books, at least five times a week. It's wholesome bonding time with the boys that enriches our hearts along with our brains," she concluded.

Increase in number of performance-recorded rams sold
By John Swire August 27, 2021 3 Mins Read
With the ram sale season underway, the hill sheep sector has seen an increase in the number of performance-recorded hill rams being sold in Wales, demonstrating an increasing commitment by farmers to using technology and best practice to develop productive flocks.
This increase comes as a result of the Hill Ram Scheme, a project that aims to bring the latest sheep genetic technology to upland flocks in Wales. An increase of 53% in the number of performance-recorded hill rams sold in 2020 compared to 2019 was seen as hill flocks in Wales reap the benefits of performance-recorded rams. As increased numbers of flocks are now involved in the Scheme it is likely that this growth will continue into 2021.
The Hill Ram Scheme, led by Hybu Cig Cymru – Meat Promotion Wales (HCC), is one strand of the Red Meat Development Programme – a 5-year Welsh Government and European Union-funded initiative aiming to enhance the red meat sector in Wales.
The farmers involved in the Scheme are using DNA technology to performance-record their flocks in order to improve the flock genetics for production traits without making fundamental changes to their system.
Since the Scheme launched in 2018, a total of 42,000 DNA samples have been analysed from hill flocks across Wales. There are now 54 flocks performance recording 7 different hill breed types across Wales.
Dr. Heather McCalman, who works on the Hill Ram Scheme, explains, "As technology, and our understanding of sheep genetics has developed and evolved it is possible to use genetic information to improve hill flock performance that builds on the work of farming generations to develop hardy stock that can survive in their environment."
Performance recording and using Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) in a bespoke Welsh hill selection index enables a robust and faster rate of genetic improvement and is a proven, cost-effective and long-term way of improving animal production efficiency.
Dr. McCalman adds, "The positive increase has shown that more and more sheep farmers are taking an interest in the production genetics of their flocks, and the increase in the number of performance-recorded rams sold in 2020 demonstrates this. It also shows that there is an increasing demand for performance-recorded stock with known genetic merit.
"HCC has developed a booklet to support farmers who wish to purchase performance-recorded rams or those breeders who wish to retain breeding stock in their flocks. The booklet provides an overview of EBVs and indexes to give an understanding of how to best use them alongside the important functional traits. It demonstrates the benefits of selecting rams by using EBVs on commercial farms and provides a guide on setting breeding goals to use when selecting rams."
HCC's Ram Buyer's Guide is available to download from the website: https://meatpromotion.wales/en/industry-projects/red-meat-development-programme/rmdp-publications/hill-ram-scheme-publications
HCC's Hill Ram Scheme is one of three 5-year projects in the Red Meat Development Programme which is funded by the Welsh Government Rural Communities – Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Welsh Government.

I work on everything from head to toe. You tell me what you want to focus on and I will do that, plus other areas. I like my clients to enjoy what we do and have fun while working hard. I became a trainer because I believe in excercise for good health. I was a chronic pain sufferer for about 10-15 years and exercise was the key to pain management, I had been active in the gym when the pain started and had to quit for a few years until I could get the pain managed. Excercise can also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol and help with type 2 diabetes.

Every time I use one of the colors in the Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint line, I smile as I think about its name. With each brush stroke, I watch as the grungy, worn, and faded surface of my project is given a fresh new look.
Right now, I'm working on a rather sad white cupboard with chipping paint, stains, a hole in the side, and a broken back.
Last night, I replaced the broken back panel with a panel of faux beadboard from Home Depot (a trick I learned from Marian) and it immediately gave the piece a much-needed facelift!
I decided to paint the outside in French Enamel and bright Farmhouse White on the inside.
I began painting last night while echoes of the Flyers vs. Capitals game sounded in the background, and I found myself thinking about French enamel pitchers filled with daisies.
Then, the thought occurred to me – why not do a blog series on the names of the MMS Milk Paint colors? It's been done before on Marian's website and the MMSMP blog, but not here!
Thus, armed with a cup of coffee and blanket on this foggy morning, I give you the color stories of the MMS Milk Paints! There are 24 gorgeous colors at the moment, so I'm going to break them up across several posts.
Since I'm currently painting with a blue, I figured we could start there! Here are all of the gorgeous blues in the line.
Artissimo is the richest and darkest of the blues. It's a deep navy that looks AMAZING when topped with Hemp Oil. I just delivered this Artissimo dresser toRooted in New London. It's currently for sale if you'd like to purchase it.
The shine on the dresser is due to the freshly applied Hemp Oil combined with early morning light. As this piece cures, the Hemp Oil will cure and the shine will disappear.
Doesn't Artissimo look lovely when paired with gold or brass hardware?
Artissimo got its name from a fabric pattern that Marian used for a shower curtain in her master bathroom.
It's also starched onto a wall of her master bedroom.
Next in line, we have French Enamel. It is a soft and plucky blue named after the shade of blue found on…you guessed it…french enamel pitchers.
Marian has used French Enamel on quite a few gorgeous pieces, including this one.
Flow Blue is our next color to visit. Named after the deep blue patterns on Flow Blue china, this color is striking and vibrant.
Now look at Flow Blue Milk Paint. Dead ringer, wouldn't you say?
I used this color on a depression era dresser that I painted when I worked at Love Street Vintage.
See how much deeper this shade is as compared to French Enamel?
I recently did a dresser in this color and it sold within days of my delivery.
Shutter gray can lean more gray, blue, or even a bit purple depending on the light and decor around it. That's why it's such a fantastic color to use!
Bergere is a blue from the European line. It's name derives from the French style of Bergere chairs that Marian loves to restore and reupholster. You can see two of them in this collage.
Bergere is soft and airy. It's the perfect blue to use if you want a hint of color but not a vibrant deep blue like Flow Blue. In French, it means "shepherdess".
I painted a vintage china cabinet in this color and it chipped like a champ. I finished it with Hemp Oil and Antiquing Wax, and this just piece sold this week! I don't have a direct head-on shot, but here it is from the side.
Bergere looks much darker and deeper in this photo because of the finishes I used, the lighting, and the underlying wood. That's one aspect of MMS Milk Paint that I adore. It responds and reacts with the piece you are working on, giving you a unique look that can't be replicated!
You can shop for the blues – and the other shades – in my booth downstairs at Morgantown Market. They're open 10-5 everyday so swing by and stock up!


I was one of the people willing this to work. As a schoolkid, I was obsessed with this book, I can still quote chunks of it now. And I really hated this movie version when it came out. Director Julien Temple wasn't a movie man, he was from a music background – and took the brave/foolish decision to turn Absolute Beginners into a musical.
In fact, watching it now it seems more like a traditional West End show. There's was another problem too – it was the 1980s.
Ok, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but this film has 80s stamped all over it – the hair, the music, the clothing – it was all supposed to be set in the late 50s, but Temple just couldn't pull off that vintage/period feel. A more skilled director probably could. And a more skilled director probably would have ditched most of the music, as well as the wooden leads (Patsy Kensit and Eddie O'Connell).
But time is a great healer and I've decided to re-watch Absolute Beginners. And you know what? It's not as bad as I remember. Although its still far from a classic. The good points include James Fox's ability to keep a straight face as Henley the old school fashion designer, Bowie's theme tune (arguably his last decent 'pop' song) and a 'plot' that stays relatively faithful to the book, even if it does miss out a many of the better parts.
The downsides are still those leads (Patsy Kensit really does hog the limelight – the role of Suzette is fairly minor in the book), the wooden stage-style sets, the lack of any real detail (Colin was an early mod, not the poor man's James Dean seen on screen), the stunted dialogue taken 'word for word' from the book and above all, the need to turn what's essentially a dark, downbeat but ultimately positive book into something bold, colourful and vacuous.
Yet despite all this, Absolute Beginners is still an entertaining watch. It's no classic, it's not even a cult classic, but it's still a fascinating film – even if a good amount of it makes you cringe.
I've never managed to watch it all the way through. Tried a couple of times but I cringe so badly that I just have to turn it off! Nice article though by the way.
I agree with the thrust of your article. The film was so over-anticipated too — it had further to fall than most new releases. It's premiere was a lead news item even in the USA, so the disillusionment with the finished product was very public.
This may sound like blasphemy, but I kind of liked the Absolute Beginners film, but ONLY when it isn't compared to the actual book. On its own merit, it's a campy, kitschy little confection of a movie that while not a highly crafted piece can serve its purpose as a comfort film of sorts. And as a guy who's into kitschy/specific stuff, it's definitely worth my time.


Why can't our allies stop the Intervention?
Home » Why can't our allies stop the Intervention?
The great decisions facing humanity are in your hands. No one else can make these decisions for you. Even your great friends far beyond your world would not intervene, for if they did so, it would cause warfare, and your world would become a battleground between opposing forces. And should your allies be victorious, you would become wholly reliant upon them, unable to fend for yourself or to maintain your own security in the universe. We know of no benevolent race that would seek to bear this burden. And, in truth, it would not serve you either.
For you would become a client state to another power and would have to be governed from afar. This is not beneficial for you in any way, and it is for this reason that this is not occurring. Yet the Intervention will cast themselves as saviors and rescuers of humanity. They will utilize your naiveté. They will capitalize on your expectations, and they will seek to wholly benefit from your trust.
Therefore, it is our sincere desire that our words can serve as an antidote to their presence and to their manipulation and abuse. For your rights are being violated. Your territory is being infiltrated. Your governments are being persuaded. And your religious ideologies and impulses are being redirected. There must be a voice of truth regarding this. And we can only trust that you can receive this voice of truth. We can only hope that the persuasion has not gone too far.
Read The Allies of Humanity briefings to gain greater clarity regarding the activities occurring in our world.

The cycles are turning and we are coming to change as we always have. The revolution Un to is plant based and will raise awareness by the ways of the druid plant base decrystallizing the pineal glands of time through the monkey man. Engineering machine mania will dry out this land and it is vital for the people of the earth to listen to the trees and plants of wisdom: Henbane, Mistletoe, Vervain, San Pedro Cactus, Datura, Burgmansia, Jimson weed whatever you like to call it, Peyote, DMT Auajjuasca Taiwan Acacia tree of knowledge, etc.
Please let the wise ones know, the petal is lightest then the stems and lastly most potent the root. All can be taken for long periods of time in small petal doses fresh and enlightenment will follow.
For the non earthers to continue strength is the continuation to slavery in a much greater context we need to remember that the origin of species is NOT Darwinian. Just as the first arrivals on the Americas were not Columbian Viking or Chinese.
Remember sand and compare to plant. Listen to our overlords for it is only a matter of time.
Rest well and consume the fruit of the crop.
We are slaves. Why do you keep referring to humans as destroying the environment. Our whole planet is being poisoned, we humans are being exterminated. Clones and hybrids keep replacing us. The alien agenda is to destroy the planet and cull out some humans-the rest of us die. We can do nothing to stop this at this point on our own.
Are our "allies" willing to give us the technological knowledge that would enable us to ward off those that want to manipulate us, as well as, to help us in dealing with the imminent environmental dangers confronting us due to overpopulation and our own species' greed?….things that we don't seem to be able for ourselves. I'm not asking for a hand-out, just a helping hand. Altruism trumps competition.


Music is, without a doubt, the single greatest contributor to the birth, growth and completion of The Origin Saga.
Music has been an enormous part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents' tastes lean towards rock and heavy metal, giving me a solid education in and appreciation of the likes of Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Status Quo, Blue Oyster Cult… I could continue, but we'd be here for some time.
My personal journey through music, however, has produced an eclectic range of interests that is a direct result of the eras and influences I have experienced in my 31 years on this planet of ours.
Growing up, our house was always full of music. When I think back on my childhood, I remember there was always an album playing from some part of the house – with the exception of Saturdays, when my Mom would insist everything stop so she could watch the football all day. Every car journey began with a mix tape. Visits to my grandparents' house on a Sunday involved my brother and I pulling Jean Michel Jarre's Oxgѐne from their record collection, before watching Seven Brides For Seven Brothers or Lord Of The Dance for the 400th time. Visits to my other grandparents introduced me to joys of Jazz, Big Band and Swing.
As a child of the 90's, I had little choice but to fall uncompromisingly in love with Disney, Steps, the Spice Girls, and Britney Spears. As a teenager in the early 00's, nu-metal and pop punk burst onto the scene, appealing to my otherwise conflicting enjoyment of both the pop and rock genres. Around the same time, I began clubbing with friends whose tastes I felt were far more vanilla than my own (in all my worldly experience at 17…), and yet I came to love the wave of electronic dance and trance tracks that blared from every bar and club we frequented on Birmingham's Broad Street. When I wasn't busy dancing until my feet bled to Faithless or giving myself whiplash to Disturbed, I was singing my heart out to every musical soundtrack I could come by. By my early 20's, my music playlist was as varied as my wardrobe; from Debussy to Slipknot, I had something for every occasion.
I've wasted countless hours over the years, staring mindlessly at a blank page or a blank screen, unable to conjour the simplest sentence, despite dozens of ideas racing through my brain. Writers block would hit hard and linger like a bad taste in the mouth for weeks or months on end, leaving me unfulfilled and exasperated. Considering myself as a woman of reasonable intelligence, it took me far longer than it should have to realise that whenever I had certain artists or tracks playing in the background, my fingers would dance across the keyboard merrily; notes, sentences, paragraphs, a whole chapter, HURRAH!
It was upon browsing the website of a favourite author of mine back in 2016 (if you're interested, Deborah Harkness and her All Souls Trilogy touch my soul!) that I had my "A-HA!" moment. She'd shared a playlist of assorted tracks that had inspired her writing. It was clear that certain artists formed a significant part of her inspiration, but I was amazed and delighted at how varied the list was and I suddenly realised that this was what I was lacking. I'd spent years listening to the same albums over and over without actually listening to how my writing responded, so I set myself the task of creating my own playlist in trusty old Spotify to collate the tracks and artists that set my creativity ablaze.
Thus, the Origin playlist was born.
2½ years, 256 songs, 17 hours and 7 min of listening time later, my playlist continues to grow and adapt. Songs, albums, and artists have been added and removed again through the playlist's lifetime; similar to friendships, some are there for the long haul whilst others only remain a while to serve their purpose and move on again. I have no rhyme or reason in the way I pick the songs that make the cut, I rely purely on instinct. Sometimes the lyrics so perfectly encapsulate a personality or a particular event, sometimes just one lyric might ring true. Sometimes it isn't the lyrics at all, simply the mood of a melody or the story woven through an album is enough to rouse my imagination. I don't know what it is, but when I hear it, I know.
It is my utmost pleasure to share my playlist with you and I hope you get as much enjoyment from it as I do. This collection of songs inspired the evolution of one short story from the heart and mind of a naïve 14-year old into the ever-growing Origin universe.

I am super confused whats happening here. How do I fix this?
PS: am quite new to npm and node.

A: My solution was to update ubuntu using $ sudo apt update
Then use $ sudo n stable  to install the latest version of nodejs
what you need is node manager using npm install -g n to install before using $ sudo n stable

A: Hola a todos yo lo resolví siguiendo los siguientes pasos
Abrir un terminar y escribir lo siguiente para actualizar el nvm
 curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

Luego cerrar el terminal y volver abrirlo para que se actualice
A continuación instalar  node 16.x con:
nvm install 16

Listo
En ingles, traducido con google translator
Hello everyone, I solved it following the following steps
Open a terminate and type the following to update the nvm
  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

Then close the terminal and reopen it to update
Next install node 16.x with:
 nvm install 16

Ready

A: *

*I also got the same issue try this out

*

*curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x -o nodesource_setup.sh

*Inspect the contents of the downloaded script with nano (or your preferred text editor):  nano nodesource_setup.sh

*When you are satisfied that the script is safe to run, exit your editor, then run the script with sudo: sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh

*sudo apt install nodejs

*node -v

A: This worked for me
npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n latest

A: To create a react app using the command npx create-react-app my-app needs a higher version of node that the one currently installed in your machine. To solve this I used the node version manager(nvm). I run the commands:-

*

*sudo apt update

*curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash

*nvm --version

*nvm ls

*nvm ls-remote

*nvm install [version.number]

Example you can type nvm install v16.13.1
You are good to go!
Reference Material:-
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/update-node-js-version

A: *

*Verify that your installed node version is equal to or greater than the version that the create-react-app installer is complaining about by running node -v

*If necessary, you can install the latest stable node version by running npm i -g
(At the time of this posting the latest LTS Version is 16.13.2 which includes npm 8.1.2)

*In the parent folder where you want to create your React App, run npm init -y

*While still in the parent folder, create your React App by running: npx create-react-app yourAppName

*Navigate to your newly created React App by running cd yourAppName

*Lastly, run npm start and view your new React App in your default browser.

That's it, good luck!

A: I had a similar problem, and this method worked for me.
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_current.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

for more details check out this question
https://askubuntu.com/questions/426750/how-can-i-update-my-nodejs-to-the-latest-version

A: You can uninstall create-react-app and reinstall a working version that supports the current node version like below to achieve this. Refer this answer for more info.
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm install -g create-react-app@3.4.1
create-react-app my-app --scripts-version 3.1.1

A: I think you have to choose YARN, Because NPM installs packages sequentially, Yarn performs parallel installation resulting in better speed and performance.

*

*First of all install yarn

  sudo apt remove yarn
  curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
  echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
  sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install yarn -y

*Then

yarn create react-app project-name

A: Using WSL-1, node installed via nvm and this worked for me at least.
sudo apt-get remove-y nodejs
rm -rf ~/.nvm

sudo apt-get install nvm
nvm install --lts
nvm use --delete-prefix v18

A: I have been searching posts for hours.
I had the following when trying to use create-react-app:
sudo npx create-react-app frontend

create-react-app@5.0.1
Ok to proceed? (y) y
npm WARN deprecated tar@2.2.2: This version of tar is no longer supported, and will not receive security updates. Please upgrade asap.
You are running Node 12.12.0.
Create React App requires Node 14 or higher.
Please update your version of Node.You are running Node 12.12.0.
    Create React App requires Node 14 or higher.
    Please update your version of Node

However, my node and npm were up to date:
node -v
v19.4.0

npm -v
9.2.0

Even figured out how to check whether that version was installed:
nvm uninstall 12.12.0
N/A version is not installed...

I tried:

*

*Cache clearing npm and npx.

*pruning all old versions with "sudo n prune"

*Deleting the npx cache directly, "sudo rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx", as some in related posts have suggested.

*All other combinations of uninstalling/reinstalling packages listed on this thread.

It turns out the warning was really not a warning, and updating the tar worked:
sudo npm i tar

I thought this should be added, since I haven't seen anything in the last few hours of searching that mentioned this.

Kourtney Kardashian Says She Doesn't Take Offense When Fans Speculate She's Pregnant
By Liz Calvario 5:22 PM PDT, April 15, 2020
CHRIS DELMAS/AFP via Getty Images
Kourtney Kardashian doesn't mind people asking her if she's pregnant.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star opened up about fans speculating she was expecting a baby during an Instagram Live with her friend and Poosh COO Sarah Howard on Wednesday. Last week, the 40-year-old reality star posted a photo of herself wearing underwear and an orange button-up dress that showed off her stomach.
"So many of the comments were like, 'Are you pregnant? Baby No. 4?'" Kardashian -- who is mother to sons Mason, 10, and Reign, 5, and daughter Penelope, 7 -- said. "I could've taken that offensively… but I knew that I didn't look pregnant."
"I know what my body looks like when I'm pregnant. I've been pregnant three times," she added. "It's very feminine to have curves and I embrace my body, so I didn't take it offensively… Instead, I wrote back, 'Oh, let's put the good blessings out there.' Like, put out a good vibe."
Kardashian also explained that some of the comments made her feel good about herself and the way she looked.
A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian Barker (@kourtneykardash)
As for how the mother-of-three is handling co-parenting with ex Scott Disick amid the COVID-19 pandemic, she shared that her kids enjoy the change of scenery when they go spend the night at their father's home two nights a week.
"I think because the kids are going back and forth to both houses…I think it's even nice for the kids to get a different change of scenery, get into a different house," she said. "They have their own dog there, there's just a different vibe in the different houses."
"And I know he's practicing really safe rules as well," she added, noting that she uses the little breaks to schedule and do as much work as she can.
As for managing her business and homeschooling the kids, Kardashian said, "I feel so involved in my kids' work. I actually know their strong points and where they need more help. I'm actually helping, doing everyone's work."

BIG and Toyota unveil 175-acre "Woven City" in Japan that tests out the future of urban mobility
By Justine Testado
Jan 7, '20 4:39 PM EST
Rendering by Squint Opera.
BIG has drawn up the masterplan for the "Toyota Woven City", which will transform a 175-acre former factory site in the city of Susono in Shizuoka into a new smart city that will be fully "dedicated to the advancement of all aspects of mobility". Bjarke Ingels and Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda presented the prototype town at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas yesterday.
Currently scheduled to break ground in early 2021, the multi-phase project features a flexible network of streets dedicated to various speeds of mobility, which allows for safer, pedestrian-friendly connections, BIG says. It will also incorporate solar energy, geothermal energy, and hydrogen fuel cell technology. Plus, the city's hidden infrastructure will include a goods delivery network called the "matternet".
Woven City splits the typical road into three street types. The first is a street optimized for faster automated vehicles, with logistical traffic underneath.

The second is a recreational promenade for more personal micro forms of mobility, like bicycles, scooters, and more. Residents can meander at slower speeds with increasing amounts of nature and space.
The third type is a linear park just for pedestrians, which offers a trail surrounded by flora and fauna that's ideal for leisurely strolls in a more natural environment.
These three street components are woven into 3x3 city blocks, with each block framing a courtyard that is accessible via the promenade or linear park.
Mass timber construction will be used for the buildings of Woven City, and a mix of housing, retail, and business will be built primarily of carbon-sequestering wood with PV panels installed on the roofs. Toyota's R&D spaces will feature robotic construction, 3D-printing and mobility labs, and flexibly designed offices will comprise workstations, lounges, and indoor gardens.
Homes will use sensor-based AI technology to perform tasks like automatic grocery deliveries or trash disposal. And residents will get to test new technologies like in-home robotics to help with everyday living.
"As a replicable framework, the Woven City can serve both as a prototype for future cities and as a retrofit to current cities," Bjarke Ingels said in a statement. "By simply 'reprogramming' existing streets, we can begin to reset the balance between people, mobility, and nature."
If all goes smoothly, Toyota Woven City will be BIG's first project in Japan. Toyota announced plans to populate the city starting with 2,000 people and will eventually add more as it expands. The company added that their employees and their families, retired couples, retailers, visiting scientists, and industry partners will have the opportunity to move into Woven City.

there's something elegant and very much related to contemporary japanese architecture in this. i'm impressed - this is more atmospheric and charming than many previous BIG projects. He is growing up :)
Jan 7, 20 8:27 pm	·
You guys? I'm...I'm starting to think that 20 years ago we were all jerks and Per was right.
Jan 8, 20 9:00 am	·
i never understood what he said. can someone be right who is incomprehensible?
will galloway
Per was a curious fellow who thought the future would be filled with 3d structures made from slices of a solid object cut in 2 directions. The idea was always fine, the problem was that per didnt want to do the work to make it viable, and only answered questions with very energetic attacks that were strangely charming. The structure BIG is using here is not that system exactly. It is not such a leap here and I have seen similar structures in Japan. The country still uses timber frame construction in everyday construction (not 2x4) and it is now just a matter of time before LVL and similar tech is made part of the building code. When that happens I expect a lot of construction companies will start building like this as a normal way of working. It makes so much sense for Japan.
Oh man, was it 20 years ago already?

corporate campuses are so sexy
@donna, this is the architecture grad school at Keio, designed by prof Yasushi Ikeda in 2000. He was project architect for the campus, working with Fumihiko Maki, and when he became a prof a few years later the campus asked him to build with wood instead of concrete and steel.
He made a graduate student mini-campus inside the campus with 4 timber buildings, using glu-lam rather than LVL, but the approach is similar. The cool thing about these buildings is that instead of making one large building he made several small ones in the middle of the forest. Each studio/lab is contained in a single building. It's a fantastic place to study. I like that student go outside when they visit each others studios. BBQs on the front porch are also super cool. I can't think of anything comparable that I have seen as a place of education.

Japan's "mundane" architecture has some real gems.
I would only add the experiences of being able to get food yourself within the fabric of the city. Not just deliver. for these reasons. it is a big part of enjoying the hum of the city and "get out" all together. in a shared humanity. I lived in Tokyo for two years and enjoyed living between two parks and loved my neighborhood Yoyogi Coen.. Coen means garden.. Every neighborhood in Tokyo had a little "Ginza" or market street on the way to the subway and there would be open air stalls where you could fo some of your food shopping.. sometimes traditional food, sembi, or noodles and sometimes other stores, there would be also stands and kiosks near the subway yakitori or mochi, nice smells On the platform of the trains were udon noodle soup counter to enjoy especially in the cold dry winter. Tokyo has this enjoyable mix of cosmopolitan and simple life of gathering your food as you move about the city.... :)

One of the really bad things happening in Japan (like pretty much everywhere else) is corporatization that is destroying the very fabric of community. Small shops and pedestrian shopping avenues are dying thanks to massive discount stores that carry everything.
This is the tech version of that with automatic grocery delivery where you don't even get to go the market and pick out your own food. WTF are the pedestrian walks and parks for if you never have to leave your pad? Human interaction not required or desired, just corporate service. That's what they are providing "enhanced mobility" for.
My partner asked the other day about Amazon grocery delivery since it was "free" and came from whole foods. I was vehemently against it.
Nothing is free. When something is free (like delivery) the associated costs are built into the product. Or YOU are the product and your dataset is sold for profit. Likely both. aside from the fact that ravenous giant monopolistic corporations are the very antithesis of 'free'dom.
it is good for people who are not as mobile. lots of people aging in place would make that kind of delivery service a great thing. Convenience stores are doing that already in Japan (the food at japanese convenience stores is not amazing but is not all junk). As for the large shops killing the small ones, yes that has happened in Japan to varying degrees. The pattern is not altogether black and white negative/positive however. I'm in Toronto right now and buying food day to day, and find it easy enough to live without a car at all. The thing I do notice is that groceries are sized for the car, with huge cereal boxes and bags of milk and all the rest of it. That is very annoying since I don't want to buy in bulk. Bjarke's plan with Toyota works in Japan because it is possible to live a simpler life already. To expand it to other countries requires a rethinking of how people live, and adapting to that. IF everyone is buying in bulk then maybe the delivery of food is the most reasonable thing of all...
Japan doesn't need Bjarke for that, and I am of the opinion that his participation will be a net loss for the possibilities of any project in Japan.

As someone working for decades to reduce the size of motorized vehicles for near trips, I'm pleased to see Toyota doing this. When I started developing my Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (now GEM owned by Polaris), the major problem was having to many larger cars / SUVs on the street, which made people driving my vehicle feel less safe. Now with Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) coming online, users can switch vehicles / modes very quickly, should everything be well positioned. In 1992 my partners and I began to work with Disney Celebration, later Playa Vista and other large developments. But the local mobility elements where always an afterthought. Just as the automobile created the suburbs, new mobility paradigms offer to enable new urban forms again - and now better ones. This is the right thing to do, to help Americans even substantially reduce our 270 million car fleet. And while I applaud this project, it's interesting to see Toyota's most compelling new mobility vehicle (proposed some years ago) being left out of this design. I get a sense neither Toyota or BIG have actually explored what new mobility solutions are actually possible in this development all that deeply. I am scratching my head a bit :)

I would very much like to see a large city institute PRTs.


Virtua Health - as far as you need to go for nationally recognized spine surgery.
Regina Connell of Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, was recovering from herniated disc surgery at Virtua Marlton Hospital when the phone rang. It was Virtua neurosurgeon Tariq S. Siddiqi, MD, co-director of the Virtua spine program, who had operated on Connell just hours before. "Hi Regina, it's Dr. Siddiqi. I wanted to see how you were feeling." Stunned, Connell took the phone away from her ear and looked at her husband sitting next to her.
"Since I live right outside of Philadelphia, my husband was adamant that I go to a hospital close to home," says Connell. "But, I was wary of going to a Philadelphia teaching hospital as I heard that interns or residents often perform surgeries under the direction of the physician.
Fifty-year-old Connell considers herself an avid exerciser. When she's not running eight to 10 miles every other day, she's taking aerobic classes at her local gym. But last October, while going for a jog, Connell felt a stabbing pain that shot all the way down her left leg. It didn't help that she had a 40-minute drive to work. "I remember sitting in traffic and crying on the way to work every morning," says Connell. "The pain was so unbearable." Connell tried medication for relief, but nothing seemed to work. That's when Connell started thinking about surgery.
Minimally invasive surgery for spine disorders has been used for decades. But, with new technology, it has become even less invasive. Today we use tools known as less invasive surgery (LSI) instruments that decrease the incision length, provide surgeons with a better field of vision and allow surgeons to insert bone grafts or perform a spinal fusion without having to make another incision. This helps preserve healthy muscle and tissue, reduce blood loss and cause less scarring.
What also sets Virtua apart from the competition is its multidisciplinary approach to care. "We have a spine council at Virtua that meets once a month to review patient charts and discuss the latest technology for spine care," says Dr. Siddiqi. "The council also implements performance improvements so we are always providing patients with the best care." Virtua orthopaedic surgeons also work closely together during surgery. Patients meet a team of physical and occupational therapists the day after surgery to get them up and moving.
Because Dr. Siddiqi used a less invasive approach to Connell's surgery, she was out of work for only one month as opposed to the six- to 12-week recovery time that traditional surgery requires. In fact, she was up and moving the day after surgery and went home the following day. Today, she is getting back to her workout routine. "With the help of Virtua's physical therapists, I've even learned that exercises like swimming and walking will keep my back healthy and strong."

For the last three years, the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University has used professional coaches to elevate the leadership capacity of students across the university. While allowing coaches to tailor their engagements to the needs of their student clients, we also provide training and structure for the semester-long interactions. Structure and supervision increase our ability to measure the effectiveness of coaching college students, to experiment with new methods to maximize impact and to explore novel strategies for enhancing leadership skills. The Doerr Institute now has enough evidence to establish proof-of-concept for the use of leadership coaching during the defining decade of adult development. Our findings also point out the lack of meaningful growth in students' identities as leaders without intentional, professional intervention. Our data and ongoing work to promote the use of evidence-based methods in leader development will help to drive demand for professional leadership coaches among top-tier colleges and universities.
Identify developmentally appropriate competencies for college-aged, Gen-Z leaders.
Understand the kind of evidence university stakeholders will demand when evaluating claims about the value of professional coaches for college students.

The reasons people have for moving to new cities and neighborhoods are aplenty. Some of them do so because of jobs while some might move to just enjoy a change of scenery. Most people, who move to Tigard OR, do so for the quality of schools in this town. Interestingly, the progress the school system in Tigard has shown over the years also has a lot to do with the number of new people moving into the town. So in a unique manner, this improvement has become somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy and a positive one at that. If you are thinking of moving to Tigard OR, read on.
Tigard, a town that houses about 47,000 people, was established in 1961. It has the style and charm of the sixties and yet the amenities it offers people are at par with any other modern city in the United States. Geographically speaking, Tigard is located south of Beaverton and is just a twenty-minute drive away from downtown Portland. As it turns out, a lot of people who tend to relocate to Portland for work also have the option of moving to Tigard OR if they have their own cars.
Tigard offers the perfect mix of established and much older neighborhoods and new developments which offer prime housing opportunities for interested parties. About 75% of the homes in Tigard are family owned but the scope for rentals and single apartments is not diminished.
Some of the best options for new movers in Tigard OR are based around the much sought after Bull Mountain area. King City, a small community area based between Tigard and Tualatin, was originally established as a retirement community with guidelines against letting out permanent plots to young people. Since then, the rules have changed and the once quiet and dormant town now offers excellent housing for people of all ages. The King City golf course and the nearby Washington Square mall make it an excellent place to raise a family.
Tigard is not a sleepy, quiet town. Every June, the hot air balloon festival draws enthusiasts from all around North America. Hoisted from the Cook park area, these balloons can be seen scattered all over the skyline at this time of the year. The Tigard-Tualatin School District, located in Sandburg Street, is one of the best in the region and it is also one of the biggest reasons families decide to move to Tigard OR. For families with kids, Tigard also has over 300 acres of green recreational area. Metzger Park is one of the more popular parks in the city.
If you are planning to move to Tigard OR, you need to get in touch with a good realtor who knows everything about the town and is kept abreast of the developments in the new housing areas in and around Tigard.
Once you have zeroed in on a plot, get in touch with Priority Moving so that you and your family can make the smoothest transition into your new city and neighborhood.

Woman caught on video tossing a plastic bag full of puppies near a trash bin
Posted 10:42 AM, April 21, 2019, by CNN Wire
The puppies are about three days old, authorities said.
California – Seven puppies were found next to a dumpster in Coachella, California, and authorities say they are looking for the woman caught on camera leaving them.
The woman is accused of leaving the newborn puppies in a plastic bag near a dumpster behind a NAPA Auto Parts store on Thursday afternoon, according to Riverside County Animal Services.
Commander Chris Mayer with animal services said he is building an animal cruelty case against the woman with the help of the Riverside County Sheriff's office and the District Attorney's office.
A passerby discovered the bag, and a store employee then contacted animal services. The puppies were about three days old and believed to be terrier mixes, animal services said.
"If not for the Good Samaritan's actions, the puppies may not have survived much longer," said the Riverside County Animal Services in a release. "The mid-day temperatures in Coachella on Thursday were in the mid-90s range."
Animal Service's veterinary team members cared for the puppies and found a rescue group to accept and bottle feed them, according to the release.
"There is no excuse for dumping puppies," Mayer said. "Especially in today's age when we or other shelters would be willing to get these animals to foster parents or rescue partners. This was a shameful act."

Reflection of Ourselves: Are we the Worst for Watching Reality Television?
Welcome back! This blog was supposed to be last week, but the new month sparked some creativity in me and well…things happen people. That is all I will say. However, here we are. I write this blog as I watch a marathon of Cake Boss. Another reality show. Reality shows seem to be required television viewing. Even if you try to run away or ignore it…you will be caught. Reality shows are gonna get you.
Where am I going with this? Glad you asked. Reality shows are the norm on the television landscape. We all watch regardless if we want to or not. What does that mean about us?
Are reality shows the worst or are we the worst for watching them?
I think as I watch the Real Housewives try to throw wine in each other's faces about this question. Well…that and why am I watching random rich people throwing wine in each other's face? What about this is appealing to the public. Same with shows like Cake Boss. What is it about people making cakes that makes me watch for hours on end? I cannot speak for everyone, but I have done some soul searching on this topic. This is what I have come up with that maybe you agree with or maybe you do not.
I think we watch these shows because it gives us a new view. Something new to look at. Sure, we could watch the news or documentaries for a new viewpoint on the world but a reality show is quicker and more entertaining. It is our weird little obsession with voyeurism. We love seeing the world through different lenses. Too bad those lenses can be completely and morally bankrupt.
I like to watch reality shows because it is completely mindless. Sometimes I need a break from my constantly racing mind. I guess I also watch reality shows because I compare myself to the crazy people who popular this genre. When I watched Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (I know. That is so bad. That family was so normal…then…ew.) I used to think that I have to be ok since I was not like them.
Which makes me think we are the worst for watching them. We watch these shows to compare our lives to theirs. In turn, these people get more ratings and get more famous. Which leads to more episodes to watch and for our brains to rot. Shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians and WAGS are generally hated, but we still watch. We watch to compare our lives. We judge. We feel better. They get ratings. Popularity. Money. It is a weird crazy circle.
That is one thought I had. Then I thought about one show I watch.
There are reality shows out there that are not mindless. There are shows that come into the reality show genre that are not vapid. Some are positive and some are sad. Some bring viewers into a world that will never experience. We, as viewers, actually learn and apply what we learn to our lives. These shows brighten or world lens.
One example of this? The Little Couple on TLC. This show does not exploit the fact they are little people. They teach the audience what it is like to live in a world designed for normal statured people. Not just that but they do it with many laughs as well. These types of reality shows are few, but they do exist. Liking reality shows with a positive spin cannot make us horrible, right?
The reality shows landscape is full of women and men doing stupid things to become famous. However, for every vapid reality star (Kardashians) there are people who are trying to make a positive difference in the world (The Little Couple).
Are we terrible for watching reality shows then? I think the jury is out on that.
What do you think? Leave a comment below! Stick around. I'm going to highlight the most positive aspects of reality television in the next blog post. It is time you guys got to know Dr. Jen Arnold and Bill Klein and their newly published book.
Until then the randomness has ended. I hope you enjoyed!

Dynamics of ionization processes in high-pressure nitrogen, air, and SF6 during a subnanosecond breakdown initiated by runaway electrons
V. F. Tarasenko, D. V. Beloplotov, M. I. Lomaev
The dynamics of ionization processes in high-pressure nitrogen, air, and SF6 during breakdown of a gap with a nonuniform distribution of the electric field by nanosecond high-voltage pulses was studied experimentally. Measurements of the amplitude and temporal characteristics of a diffuse discharge and its radiation with a subnanosecond time resolution have shown that, at any polarity of the electrode with a small curvature radius, breakdown of the gap occurs via two ionization waves, the first of which is initiated by runaway electrons. For a voltage pulse with an ∼500-ps front, UV radiation from different zones of a diffuse discharge is measured with a subnanosecond time resolution. It is shown that the propagation velocity of the first ionization wave increases after its front has passed one-half of the gap, as well as when the pressure in the discharge chamber is reduced and/or when SF6 is replaced with air or nitrogen. It is found that, at nitrogen pressures of 0.4 and 0.7 MPa and the positive polarity of the high-voltage electrode with a small curvature radius, the ionization wave forms with a larger (∼30 ps) time delay with respect to applying the voltage pulse to the gap than at the negative polarity. The velocity of the second ionization wave propagating from the plane electrode is measured. In a discharge in nitrogen at a pressure of 0.7 MPa, this velocity is found to be ∼10 cm/ns. It is shown that, as the nitrogen pressure increases to 0.7 MPa, the propagation velocity of the front of the first ionization wave at the positive polarity of the electrode with a small curvature radius becomes lower than that at the negative polarity.

Boulevard 57 gets new name, management, renderings revealed
Unitas Development Group, backed by Latin American investors, will launch condo sales Sept. 1
May.May 01, 2015 05:00 PM
By Ina Cordle, Sean Stewart-Muniz and Katherine Kallergis
Boulevard 57, an eight-story condominium tower planned for Miami's Biscayne Boulevard, is promising to bring new residential and commercial offerings to the historic MiMo District, The Real Deal has learned.
The 107-unit development, on two acres between Northeast 57th and Northeast 58th Streets, has rebranded itself, and is revealing new renderings. The $100 million project is now being managed by its owners, the Unitas Development Group, which is backed by Latin American investors from Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Panama, COO Hector Torres told TRD. The former management firm, the Green Dragon Group, is no longer associated with the project, he said.
Boulevard 57 will launch sales for its 107 condo units, priced from $550,000 to $3.8 million, on September 1, Torres told TRD. Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, the building is geared to have "modern, contemporary architecture with touches MiMo historical architecture," Torres said. Amenities will include a pool, cabanas, barbecue area, gym, playground and pet area on the third floor deck, as well as penthouses with rooftop decks.
The condos will range from 1,100 square feet to 4,800 square feet, and will average 2,300 square feet. They are "meant for end-users, not investors," and will be marketed primarily to local residents, Torres said. Prices will average $550 to $600 a square foot, he said.
Below the residences will be 40,000 square feet of commercial space on Biscayne Boulevard for retail and restaurants, which is being leased by Chariff Realty Group.
"Your greatest amenity is the fact that we will provide you with all of the amenities you need below you on a commercial basis," Torres told TRD. In that way, condo owners will not have to pay to maintain such expensive additions as a spa or sauna, he said.
Lyle Chariff, president of Chariff Realty Group, said he is looking for such tenants as a "Trader Joe's-type or Whole Foods or Fresh Market-type" grocer, a restaurant and "a lifestyle retailer like a lululemon-type merchant."
Chariff, who lives in nearby Morningside, said he is seeking input from area residents as to what tenants they would like to see.
"That's really the criteria," Chariff told TRD. "It has to be a business that will first accommodate the needs and wants of the residents right next to it, and secondarily, the neighbors to the east. If we stick true to this, it will be the catalyst to make it a neighborhood project."
Boulevard 57, formerly named "Fifty Seven," is being built on the site of the formerly proposed Kubik, which was to have as many as 300 units. The Unitas Group bought the property for $15 million in July 2014.
While the mixed-use project is physically within the confines of MiMo neighborhood, it is essentially carved out of the district, and is not subject to the same height restrictions. "We fit into the community, even though we are a cut-out," Torres said.
The "outreach center," currently on the site will be completed within two months, and will become a sales center. The project is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2017.
The MiMo District is undergoing a resurgence, with a wave of redevelopment that is spreading between the 27 blocks on Biscayne Boulevard, from 50th Street to 77th Street, that encompass the district.
"We are setting a benchmark of a new trend," Torres said. "That neighborhood is transforming."

Jerry Patterson: Climate Change is "Really Unimportant"
By Forrest Wilder
I try to keep a close watch on climate change denialism in the Texas political class. I know, I know – I admit that it's largely an exercise in futility. Nothing short of Jesus himself explaining the science will pry Texas Republicans away from their climate fantasies.
Still, I think it's worth documenting how horribly out of step the state's top elected officials are with the rest of the world. There is a mountain of incontrovertible evidence that the emission of greenhouse gasses is rapidly changing the Earth's climate.
Texas may be a whole 'nother country but we are far from immune from the effects. Just today, we learn that 255 National Academy of Sciences members, including 11 Nobel laureates, have signed onto a letter defending the accuracy of climate science and denouncing the efforts of a small band of professional 'skeptics' to confuse the public. The letter opens:
We are deeply disturbed by the recent escalation of political assaults on scientists in general and on climate scientists in particular. All citizens should understand some basic scientificfacts. There is always some uncertainty associated with scientificconclusions; science never absolutely proves anything. Whensomeone says that society should wait until scientists are absolutelycertain before taking any action, it is the same as saying societyshould never take action. For a problem as potentially catastrophicas climate change, taking no action poses a dangerous risk forour planet.
This should put to rest the delusional idea that there is a "debate" about the causes and consequences of anthropogenic global warming. But, of course, it won't.
The latest Texas Republican to publicly air his errant views on climate change is General Land Office Commissioner Jerry Patterson. In a Texas Tribune-hosted conversation between Patterson and his Democratic opponent, Hector Uribe, Patterson had this to say:
I believe in climate change but I'm not sure which way it's going. I'm not sure it's man-made and frankly there have been a lot of questions about the scholarship related to climate change lately. It's really unimportant. It's not my job to ferret out whether climate change is real or not. All I do is measure how much beach we lose every year.
(Patterson's comments begin around the 18:50 mark on the video.)
This is like a doctor saying it's not his job to figure out why somebody's sick. He just measures how many pathogens have built up in the patient's body.
One of the statutory roles of the General Land Office is to protect the Texas coast, which happens to be eroding in places at an alarming rate.
The GLO has spent millions dumping sand on beaches in Galveston Island and is continually plagued with the problem of homes stranded on the public beach.
There are multiple reasons why the Texas coast is eroding – subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal and oil extraction; the natural movement of barrier islands like Galveston Island; the loss of sediment from diminishing river flow; and global sea-level rise.
All factors are important of course but none is as paramount as accelerating sea-level rise driven by a warming planet. It's basic physics. As oceans heat up, water expands and takes coastline. This is happening already. In the 20th century, the rate of sea-level rise tripled due to rising temperatures and the thermal expansion of oceans.
In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected that oceans would rise 18 to 59 centimeters by 2090. However, that's a low-ball estimate because it didn't include the effects of melting ice sheets and glaciers around the planet.
More recent estimates based in part on the observed loss of ice mass in Greenland and Antarctica predict that seas will rise in the range of half a meter to two meters by the end of this century. Sea-level rise of that magnitude poses an existential threat to Padre Island, Galveston Island, and low-lying mainland communities like Surfside and parts of Southeast Texas.
But, hey, Patterson's got more important stuff to worry about, like selling off the Christmas Mountains.
Credit to Hector Uribe for taking the climate crisis seriously.
I think it matters whether climate change is caused by human intervention or is totally a natural phenomena. I think it matters a great deal because I think the response you take becomes part of your public policy plan.
If it's not man-made and it's happening then we can do nothing about it. That, I think, destines us to grow sea walls that grow higher and higher and puts us into this constant replenishing of the sands and the beaches.
