�Urban Umbrella� Could Soon Surround NYC Sites

Walking past New York City construction sites may soon be a much more pleasant visual experience.

Urban Umbrella design by Young Hwan Choi, with Andr�s Cort�s, AIA, and Sarrah Khan, PE, of Agencie Group.
Unhappy with the current appearance of sidewalk sheds – the uninviting scaffolds that surround the city's construction sites to provide protection from falling debris – New York's Department of Buildings partnered with the AIA, Alliance for Downtown New York, New York Building Congress, Illuminating Engineering Society New York Chapter, Association for a Better New York, and other related organizations to host urbanSHED, an international competition for a better design.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced the winner on January 21 – Young-Hwan Choi, a 28-year-old architecture student from the University of Pennsylvania. Choi beat out 163 other entries from 28 countries with a concept named "Urban Umbrella."
"I tried to simplify the sheds by following the structural logic of an umbrella," he says. "The whole idea is to bring the structure, ornament, lighting, and experience altogether."
After being named a finalist, Choi worked with engineer Sarrah Kahn and architect Andrés Cortés, the principals of Agencie Group, as well as a small team of assistants (Will Robinette, Zachary Colbert, and Todd Montgomery), to finalize his design. The resulting metal structure – they are currently undecided on whether to use steel of aluminum – uses curved arms to support the roof while creating an arcade-like quality below. Integrated LED lighting provides illumination at night. The structure is topped by translucent fiberglass panels, which Choi says could be customized with different colors and art while also allowing natural light through during the day.
"This competition is important because it addresses how people use the city and take pleasure in the city," says Rick Bell, executive director of AIA New York, who helped manage the competition. "Sidewalk sheds came up by accident and overstayed their welcome." In fact, there are about 6,000 such sheds currently installed in New York, covering more than a million linear feet of sidewalk.
Choi was awarded a $10,000 prize, and the Alliance for Downtown New York will now fund a full-scale prototype at a construction site in Lower Manhattan. Contractors will not be forced to use the new shed design, but the city government hopes that many of them eventually will, pointing out that it should not only please pedestrians and business owners, but also have lower maintenance costs.
Richard T. Anderson, president of the New York Building Congress, thinks the construction industry will generally be receptive to the design. "There will be some resistance from those who would like to use the equipment they have," he says, "but if this design, and designs like it, can make building sites more attractive, then I think owners would be receptive."

When an out-of-town company brings Balanchine ballets to New York, part of the pleasure is seeing different versions of familiar works. This week, Pacific Northwest Ballet presented a single evening of Balanchine: Agon, Concerto Barocco, and Apollo, all but Apollo staged by Francia Russell, who danced with NYCB in the fifties. Apollo was staged by Peter Boal, now the company's artistic director. Here's my review, for DanceTabs.


LONDON (HedgeWorld.com)–Growing convergence among hedge fund investment strategies and the industry's potential to use leverage pose an "additional major risk" without "any possible remedies," the European Central Bank warns in its latest semi-annual Financial Stability Review.
Including for the first time a separate section focusing on hedge funds, the review uses Lipper TASS data and the ECB's own calculations to conclude that 25.7% of the estimated $1.5 trillion in hedge fund assets were managed from Europe at the end of 2005. Using the same sources, the review concludes that only 7.1% of fund assets are domiciled in Europe. Lipper, a unit of Reuters, is the parent company of Lipper HedgeWorld.
The review noted that capacity constraints and forced liquidations prompted by investor redemptions led to further increases in correlations among convertible arbitrage funds. It also observed that correlations among long/short equity and multi-strategy funds rose significantly. The review also argues that correlation is higher than during the period immediately preceding the LTCM crisis of 1998.
The ECB's concern about the possible impact of the hedge funds on the global financial system contrasts with the less-alarmist approach to the industry of other financial authorities. The International Monetary Fund and the Bank of England, for example, have emphasized the utility of short-selling to preserve market stability, while acknowledging that hedge funds can incur risks.
The central bank's expanded analysis of hedge funds follows a proposal in May by Germany's Bundesbank for a cross-border system of enhanced self-regulation. The system would include public grading of hedge funds by ratings agencies and a code of conduct.

Russia intervened in Syria at the request of its government – to combat US-supported terrorists.
Last October, Syria's Defense Ministry reported seizure of large amounts of weapons and munitions made in America and US allied countries.
Who gains by supporting ISIS and other terrorists wage war in Syria for regime change? Washington and Israel most of all. Along with their allies, they're partnered against Assad.
The Trump administration ignores these comments, doing what it pleases, at war with Syria. It's hostility toward Russia is unrelenting.

Are there shops renting winter clothing?
So what type of clothes should you carry when visiting Darjeeling and Sikkim on your vacation? This is one of the most loaded questions I have faced. Because the weather, particularly the temperature varies widely depending on the season or the month of your travel.
And even within in the same season, depending on the place of your travel within Darjeeling Hills and Sikkim, the temperature can change dramatically. For example places like Sandakphu which is part of Darjeeling and Nathula which is in Sikkim remain extremely cold throughout the year although the weather in Darjeeling town and Gangtok become quite pleasant in spring, summer and autumn.
If you are planning to visit Darjeeling or Sikkim, the eBook on Darjeeling & Sikkim can be very handy in knowing all the best places, sightseeing tours & operators, eateries, nightlife, shopping and lot more, and would serve as a guide to effectively make your tour plan.
In order to get great discounts in Darjeeling from many great hotels, restaurants, tour operators, shops and transporters, look into Darjeeling Tourism Card.
Let's look at the clothes that you should take by season. Clothing for high altitude places like Sandakphu, Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass, Lachung, Yumthang valley etc are mentioned separately.
The harsh winter has ended and this is the beginning of the pleasant season in the hills here although the temperature can drop below comfortable limits in the evenings and early mornings. Usually the average temperature varies between 6°C at night to 17°C during day time.
Full trousers or jeans are good to cover your legs. Take socks and shoes. Instead of bulky jackets, carry 2-3 layers of light woolens. For example, carry a full sleeve sweater and a wind cheater. Some times the wind chill can make it quite uncomfortably cold and then the wind cheater comes in very handy. Another very useful woolen to carry would be a shawl.
If you plan to roam around in the evenings, then carry a cap, light muffler and for the elders even a pair of light gloves to keep your hands warm.
The average temperature ranges between 11°C at night to 19°C during the day time. It's a very pleasant time in both Darjeeling & Sikkim. On a hot sunny day one can even wear shorts. However at night the temperature falls but remains within comfortable limits.
You should carry light woolens for the evenings, like a light full sweater, shawl or a jacket. Otherwise normal dress wear is okay like jeans, T-Shirts etc. But do take a pair of shoes or sneakers with socks because it would be required if you plan to go out in the evenings.
Average high and low temperature varies between 13°C to 19°C. So like in summer you need to carry light woolens. However some time on a wet evening or morning, the temperature can drop and with the wind chill adding to the impact can make it quite cold. So it's a good idea to carry an additional wind cheater or a shawl. Also since it rains a lot, carry an umbrella or a rain coat.
High/Low ranges between 18°C to 6°C. As you can see it starts to get colder particularly in November. Nights and early mornings are quite cold in November. So carry couples of layers of woolen clothing like a full sleeve sweater and wind cheater / shawl, or a good jacket.
During day time you may not need to wear any woolens in October. But in the evenings you will certainly need one. Also carry socks and caps.
So what should you wear in winter? Obviously heavy woolens. And that should include thermal full body inner wears, a good warm jacket, gloves, cap, muffler, shoes & socks.
Here are my clothing recommendations by season for places like Sandakphu, Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass, Lachung, Yumthang valley etc.
First note that round the year it remains very cold in all these high altitude places. So irrespective of the time of your visit, you will need heavy winter clothing, particularly for the nights and early mornings. The month of your visit will determine how heavy the woolens should be.
During winter and early spring, you will get heavy snow in all these high altitude places. If you want to play with snow, you can rent snow gears like long overcoats, high cover boots, leather gloves etc which are available before you reach the spot. For example at Tsomgo lake you will get stalls renting such snow gears. Similarly if you are heading for Zero point from Yumthang Valley to experience snow, you can rent snow gears from stalls at Yumthang market.
Average high and low temperatures would range between 10°C to -2°C. Early March can be extremely cold. So heavy woolens like thermal full body inner wear, jackets with heavy woolen linings or fur, muffler, woolen gloves, cap, woolen socks, shoes are must.
Average high/low varies between 15°C to 6°C. You should carry moderate to heavy woolens like jackets, muffler, cap, gloves, socks etc. Thermal full body inner wears can come in handy at nights.
Average high/low temperature ranges between 13°C to 8°C. You need to carry moderate woolens like a good jacket, cap, gloves, socks etc. Sometimes due to wind chill it can get very cold. So woolen inner wears, shawls etc should be carried.
Average high/low temperature ranges between 12°C to -5°C. It starts getting very cold towards the evenings and early mornings. In November, you are likely to find a layer of frozen water in your bucket if you stored water overnight.
So carry heavy woolens which should include two to three layers of clothing like thermal full body inner wears, sweater, jacket, muffler, good pair of woolen gloves, cap, socks etc.
Average high/low temperature varies between 7°C to -10°C. It's the peak winter and it'll be freezing cold at the high altitude places. So take all possible winter precautions including full body thermal inner wear, full sleeve sweater, heavy jacket (preferably with fur lining), wind cheater, extra pair of socks, cap (monkey cap would be very useful), muffler, good pair of woolen gloves etc.
Unfortunately you won't get winter clothes on rent at any stores in Darjeeling town or Gangtok. Which means you should carry your own. However if you land up and find what you have is inadequate, then you can certainly buy at the stores in both these places.
An economical option in Darjeeling town is to visit the Bhutia Market which sets up on two sides of a narrow road off Chowrasta (Mall). Lots of local Bhutias sell all kinds of winter wears including jackets, shawls, caps, gloves etc at reasonable prices. Ask any local around the Chowrasta Mall and he will show where the Bhutia market is.
You can however rent snow gears like long fur coats, leather gloves, caps etc for few hours at places like Tsomgo lake and Yumthang valley market to play with snow.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To prospectively compare a rapid tuberculosis serological test, ASSURE™ TB Rapid Test, with traditional smear and culture methods for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). DESIGN: All consecutive in-patients aged ≥18 years suspected of having active PTB and admitted between June 2001 and March 2003 were tested with three sputum samples for smear and culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and serology (done within 3 days). RESULTS: Of 238 patients initially enrolled (male: female 2.5:1, mean age 56.6 years), the final analysis included 216 patients. For the final diagnosis of PTB, the sensitivity and specificity of the serological test were respectively 60.2% (95%CI 50.5-69.1) and 82.3% (95%CI 74.2-88.2) compared to 53.4% (95%CI 43.8-62.7) and 98.2% (95%CI 93.8-99.5) for the smear test. A combination of smear and serology provided an increased sensitivity of 74.8% (95%CI 65.6-82.2), but a lower specificity of 80.5% (95%CI 72.3-86.8). CONCLUSION: The new serological test showed a moderate increase in sensitivity but a decrease in specificity compared to smear examination. The combination (smear + serology) test further increased the sensitivity while maintaining a moderate specificity. © 2006 The Union.


The art market news this autumn 2016 is dominated by sales of collections. These include works acquired by , the presidential couple Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Daniel and Eliane Brollo and Prince Yusupov. There will also be a series of five sales to disperse the works of French film director and producer Claude Berri who died in 2009. The first of these will take place on 22 October 2016, coinciding with the FIAC, at Christie's in Paris.
This sale marks the end of a feud between the heirs of the director of films like Tchao Pantin and Manon des Sources. In early 2011, the Pompidou Centre revealed that the legal attribution process – involving works by major signatures including Robert RYMAN, Ad REINHARDT, Lucio FONTANA, Giorgio MORANDI and Dan FLAVIN and worth around 30 million euros – had been interrupted at the request of Darius and Thomas Langmann, who were apparently in favour of selling the works to a private Qatari buyer.
Last May, Christie's New York sold Robert Ryman's canvas Venue (2002) for 9.34 million dollars (its first-ever market appearance) providing a foretaste of the forthcoming sales, the details of which are relatively unknown. Berri, who opened the Renn Espace in Paris and then later the Espace Claude Berri to exhibit the works of his favourite artists (the inescapable Robert Ryman, whose white paintings were a revelation, Berlinde DE BRUYCKERE, Daniel BUREN andYves KLEIN amongst others) was a bulimic and compulsive art collector. His apartment in the Rue de Lille was home to works by artists as diverse as Subodh GUPTA and Tatiana TROUVÉ, with a series of drawings by Henri MICHAUX and an installation by Christian BOLTANSKI. A chandelier by Hema UPADHYAYoverhung furniture by Charlotte PERRIAND and Diego GIACOMETTI.
Initiated in the early 70's with a work by René MAGRITTE acquired for $50,000 (after the success of his Vieil homme et l'enfant), Berri's collection grew rapidly as he discovered the works of Tamara DE LEMPICKA, the graffiti of BRASSAÏ and MAN RAY's Rayograms (part of this superb set of photographs was sold at Christie's for $3.3 million in 2005).
While the sale on 22 October is much anticipated, the subsequent sales will be no less followed. Thomas Langmann is apparently selling in order to reinvest in his own collection: the art market is therefore likely to see more of Claude Berri's estate in the future.

Octieve San in Solitude who owes a debt.
A Few Words with You is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is a radiant quest that requires the Dragonborn to talk to someone for another person about a specific subject.
Take my advice. Never gamble. Damn Irnskar has me in debt up to the eyes.
After talking to one of the quest givers, agree to help with his or her specific problem. Talk to the target, and persuade, bribe, intimidate, or brawl them to get them to agree with the terms. Return to the quest giver for the reward. The quest giver becomes friendly towards the Dragonborn, which opens up possibilities such as the availability for marriage.
Carlotta Valentia is a food vendor in the Whiterun market who gets a lot of attention from men and claims that half the men in Whiterun have proposed to her. The player may offer to deal with Mikael who she says is the worst and boasts at the Bannered Mare about how he will "Conquer her as a true Nord conquers any harsh beast." Mikael is located in the Bannered Mare performing as a Bard or sleeping. When asked to leave Carlotta Valentia alone he will respond: "Carlotta put you up to this, didn't she. I'm sorry, but that fiery widow is mine. She just doesn't know it yet." Having a Speech skill of 17 or greater will allow the player to successfully persuade or intimidate him.
"You know how to throw a punch I'll give you that"
You leave Carlotta alone, or this gets worse. "You win. On my honour, Carlotta won't have to worry about me ever again."
Fine. Forget I asked. "Already have."
After Mikael has been successfully persuaded, bribed, intimidated, or brawled the player can return to Carlotta for a reward where she will say: "Really? You convinced that lute player to stop chasing me? I'd thank the gods but I'll settle for thanking you. Here's some gold for your help."
Haran owns The Frozen Hearth inn with her husband Dagur in Winterhold. Ranmir, a frequent patron, is not welcome and Haran may complain to her husband "How long are we going to let Ranmir drink himself into a stupor? When will enough be enough?" If the player talks to Haran about Rnamir, she will say "Ranmir beg a drink from you, yet? That's gold wasted, friend." Although she is sympathetic towards Ranmir she does not want him drinking in the inn without paying back at least some of the money he owes. Ranmir spends all day drinking in the tavern saying "Nothing to do here but drink 'till you forget you got nothing to do." He will be unhappy if asked to pay back his debt saying "Who are you to say what I should do? I'll pay her back when I'm ready." Having a Speech skill of at least 17 will allow the player to successfully persuade or intimidate him into paying back his debt.
"What was that? Some kind of foreign move?"
You ready to pay up now? "You got me, fair and square. Tell Haran I'll pay."
Fine. Forget I asked. "That's what I thought."
After Ranmir has been successfully persuaded, intimidated, bribed, or brawled the player can return to Haran for a reward where she will say: "He's not a bad man, just bad with him coins and his drink." She will then reward the player with a weapon and a piece of armor.
Iddra is the owner of Braidwood Inn in Kynesgrove. She thinks highly of Roggi Knot-Beard as a storyteller and comments that he can keep everyone's spirits up. Although he owed Iddra money for drinks, she keeps telling him not to worry about it. However, his "stubborn Nord blood" does not allow him to do so and Iddra will eventually tell the player "Damn fool doesn't have the coin to pay me back, so he just beats himself up over it, and then he gets thirsty, and it cycles all over again." If you can talk to Roggi, she would feel better.
Roggi is a miner and he can be found inside Braidwood Inn or in the nearby camp. Telling him to forget about the coin he owes will make him angry and say: "What do you think I am, a beggar? My family has always paid back every single coin we owed, going back to Tiber Septim's time." If the player has helped Roggi before by retrieving his ancestral shield, he will agree saying: "I guess if you're telling me to stop worrying about it, maybe I should just let it go. Thank you, friend."
"You throw a mean hook."
Fine. Forget I asked. "It's better that way."
After Roggi has been successfully persuaded, bribed, intimidated, or brawled, Iddra will say: "Roggi pawned a few things of his back when he still had things to pawn." and will then reward the player with a weapon or piece of armor.
Octieve San is an old warrior living in Solitude, frequently found in The Winking Skeever. San enjoys his life saying: "Being old's not so bad. Daughter keeps me fed, and my working days or done." Talking to him will reveal that he is in debt and will say: "Take my advice. Never gamble. Damn Irnskar has me in debt up to the eyes." The player can offer to help San with his debt and Irnskar will respond when spoken to: "Debts are debts. Either he pays them, or his kind do." The player can proceed to successfully persuade or intimidate Irnskar with a Speech kill of 17 or greater or bribe or brawl him.
Final warning. Leave Octieve alone. "All right. Tell the old man his debts are settled."
After informing Octieve San that his debt has been settled he will provide a one-point boost in Two-Handed and become a marriage candidate.
Omluag lives in The Warrens and works at the smelter in Markarth. He may also be found in the Silver-Blood Inn. During work he will say: "Can't talk. Mulush will beat me if I stop working." Omluag will also say about Mulush: "He's a damn tyrant. Always being goaded on by the Silver-Bloods to get more work out of us. They pay us next to nothing. We get beaten if we make a mistake, and where are out kind Nord rulers? What are they doing? Typical." Omluag will be surprised if the player offers to help, saying: "You're going to try to talk sense into that Orc? I'll believe it when I see it." Mulush is near his workers during the day, monitoring them. He will ask what your business here is when talked to and respond when asked to take it easy on Omluag by saying: "What? Are you telling me how to treat my workers? Do you have any idea how much metal the Silver-Blood family wants us to smelt?" If the player has a Speech skill of 17 or greater Mulush can be persuaded or intimidated, otherwise he can be bribed or brawled.
"Damn outsider. Why couldn't you just mind your own business."
Leave Omluag alone. This is my final warning. "All right. I'll lay off him. Just leave."
Fine. Forget I asked. "Idiot."
Upon informing Omluag that Mulush will ease off, he will be excited and offer you a week's worth of his wage as payment, saying: "I don't believe it. Someone sticking up for us."
Scouts-Many-Marshes is an Argonian dock worker in Windhelm. He and other Argonians can be seen working around the Windhelm docks and when asked about his trouble he will inform the player that his boss, Torbjorn Shatter-Shield, wants everything for nothing and clings to every septim. Scouts-Many-Marshes will say: "He says an Argonian's labor is only worth a tenth of a 'proper Nord worker.' My people are not slaves!" He will then request that the player talk to Torbjorn to get him to pay the Argonian workers fairer wages. If the player already has a positive disposition with Torbjorn by bringing him an Amulet of Arkay or an alcoholic drink, he will agree with the player without having to be persuaded, bribed, intimidated, or brawled and say: "Well, my friend, if you think those boots need more coin, I'll make it happen. But I'm doing this for you, not them." If the player does not have a positive disposition with Torbjorn, he will refuse saying: "Those boots aren't worth the septims I do pay them. I'm not giving them coin I could give to good, Nord workers." If the player has a Speech skill of 25 or greater, Torbjorn may be persuaded or intimidated, otherwise he can be brawled or bribed.
Pay those Argonians fairly, or else. "I yield. By the honor of Clan Shatter-Shield, the Argonians will be paid as much as any other worker."
When the player returns to Scouts-Many-Marshes, he will be impressed and provide a reward of either two fortify skill potions or three restoration potions.
Completing this quest counts towards helping the people of a hold for thane quests.
If the target NPC has a positive disposition with the player, there is no need to persuade or intimidate them.

The Objectivism Meta-Blog Discussion
Intellectual Activism and Study Groups
Reblogged:Two Medical Mysteries in the News
By Gus Van Horn blog, April 8 in The Objectivism Meta-Blog Discussion
Gus Van Horn blog 43
These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now? -- Bernie Sanders (2011)
Should medical care be run by the government? Two clues remain hidden in plain sight after a pack of American Journalists -- a scent-blind breed of bloodhound -- chased down stories about an aging rock musician and a humanitarian catastrophe.
First, it wasn't until I read a John Hinderaker post on Mick Jagger at Power Line that I learned the following:
Wow, you might think. That's impressive! We keep hearing about long delays and antiquated care in the National Health Service, and here Jagger is able to get cutting-edge surgery in a matter of days!
Oops, never mind. Jagger flew to New York for the operation, a fact that his press representatives don't seem eager to emphasize. [links omitted]
To be fair, I don't consume as much news as you might think: I scan headlines from a computer-generated list aggregated from a couple of handfuls of sites most mornings. But still, I have no trouble believing such information would be missing from or buried in most reports. To wit, live (if you can call it that) from Venezuela, comes the following tidbit about the latest Bolivarian Circle of socialist hell:
Things are so bad that, according to the report and other sources, patients who go to the hospital need to bring not only their own food but also medical supplies like syringes and scalpels as well as their own soap and water.
The word "crisis" occurs thirteen times in this article, while the word count for terms starting with social -- like socialist and socialism -- is zero.
You'll have to bring your own in socialist Venezuela. (Image by geudki, via Pixabay, license.)
(Access, a favorite buzzword of American leftists discussing medicine, occurs twice, but with the obvious question of whether Venezuelans have "access to medical care" left unasked.) Instead, you get a peppering of quotes treating the cause like some kind of mystery: "The health crisis began in 2012, two years after the economic crisis began in 2010. But it took a drastic turn for the worse in 2017, and the situation now is even more dismal than researchers expected," and "Despite all the headlines about Venezuela's collapse, researchers were still surprised by the scope of the crisis." With journalists resolutely not connecting the dots of all these mysterious crises, I guess I wouldn't blame the researchers for being surprised.
It is unconscionable for socialism to get the pass it is getting now when conditions have deteriorated in the latest pet project so quickly that even many teenagers should be able to remember when Venezuela was touted as a paradise.
