Cornwall's Eden Project has unveiled designs for a £12m education centre.
Designers say plans for the new centre have been inspired by spiral patterns found in plant life.
The building will house information about plant life, exhibitions, workshops and events.
Work is to start on the new building in early 2004, subject to planning permission from the local authority. It is due for completion by the end of 2005.
The new centre will stand alongside the Eden Project's plant-filled biomes - large greenhouse domes, on the site of a former china clay pit near St Austell.
Structured like a tree, the new centre will have a huge canopy letting in light through the roof.
Jolyon Brewis, who is leading the project, said: "We decided the structure of the building itself should be derived from the double spiral and we looked at the mathematics behind these spirals in nature to generate the design."
However, the project's chief executive, Tim Smit, has said he hopes the new development will not bring in more visitors but enhance their experience.
He said: "On busy days it feels like you're packed in here like sardines.
"What we want is for people to be here and relax so that they don't feel they are going round in a mob.
"I'm not actually interested in attracting more visitors. I want the levels to stay the same.
"More visitors isn't more interesting. I want people who have come here to have had a fantastic time and to leave here having had a chance to reflect on major things and take away memories that will stay with them."
The principles behind the new design follow the Fibonacci mathematical sequence discovered by Leonardo da Pisa in the 13th Century and echo the spirals at the centre of a sunflower or pine cone.
The new centre has been funded with a £10m grant from the Millennium Commission, together with £2.89m from the South West Regional Development Agency.

Hotels Could Be Used For Medical Surge, Says Executive At Broward's Memorial Healthcare
WLRN 91.3 FM | By Alexander Gonzalez,
Tom Hudson
Published March 27, 2020 at 6:55 PM EDT
The first U.S. case of COVID-19 was treated at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington. Robin Addison, a nurse there, demonstrates how she wears a respirator helmet with a face shield intended to prevent infection.
South Florida is a coronavirus hotspot in the state. The majority of confirmed cases in Florida are in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
The number of cases is expected to climb as testing efforts expand across the region.
Health care facilities are preparing for the worst-case scenario: a medical surge that could overwhelm bed space inside hospitals. Some facilities are looking into other buildings and spaces that could be used to care for a large wave of COVID-19 patients.
On the South Florida Roundup, host Tom Hudson spoke with Dr. Stanley Marks, chief medical officer at Memorial Healthcare System in Broward County, about COVID-19 preparation efforts.
Here's an excerpt of their conversation:
TOM HUDSON: The surge, we're seeing some of these systems in Queens, New York, for instance. Certainly we've seen them in the Milan area in Italy about patients having to be triaged and treated in makeshift, almost MASH-like units, right? Almost like mobile hospital-like units. Are those plans on the table? Is that something that should be executed in South Florida, if necessary? And what are some of the tipping points?
STANLEY MARKS:Yeah, absolutely. I think every facility needs to have a surge plan and an expansion corridor or an expansion plan to deal with a very large volume of patients that potentially can come into your hospital. One needs to have plans to be able to expand into non-clinical areas to be able to supply additional rooms and space for patients, who hopefully aren't critical, but can manage non-critical types of patients.
Additionally, we've put into place not only those sorts of expansion corridors at every one of our hospitals, but we have the ability to create these specialized tents that look very much like MASH units, the mobile military forms of hospitals that were formed in tents. These can be set up fairly rapidly, generally within a day, and can house almost any kind of patient. We have plans not only to move into our conference space, but also to establish some of these tent facilities in the ground floor of some of our garage spaces.
HUDSON: What about other public facilities that may be empty? I'm thinking of convention centers, for instance, or even private facilities like hotels. Are those within the realm of consideration?
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, some of our team is actually today [Friday] at a hotel site. I can't disclose it at this point in time. But I will tell you that a fairly large hotel and group has offered us an ability to use their space, their ballrooms and the like.
HUDSON: Can you give us a little bit more about that? Give us a sense of where those conversations sit in the possibility of executing on that kind of plan.
We actually have our team of facilities and building personnel looking at some of those properties to understand what they look like, the ability to hook up equipment, the ability to feed staff as well as patients -- and potentially use these areas, whether as quarantine sites or as sites to be used for low levels of care. These would be conversations that we're having that would be related to patients. There are also some conversations related to perhaps housing some of our personnel that might feel that because of potential exposure, they don't want to go back home to their families until they're absolutely cleared.

It's 3:00 am, and the alarm goes off. The day begins with a quick shower and hot cup of coffee. The bows and packs are in the truck ready to go. The camo is on, and boots are tied. The last thing she needs to do is tie up her hair and throw on a hat. That's right; mom is headed out hunting. A woman's place is no longer in the home; it's out in the woods enjoying the great outdoors and taking part in providing the best source of meat possible for her family.
Being a mom is so much more than carrying your growing baby and giving birth. It's caring for a human that is completely dependent on you. It's a constant worry, sleepless nights and ultimate joy. It's taking on the hardest and most rewarding job you will ever have in this life. You have the task of teaching hard lessons and the pleasure of raising a human that will make a difference in this world. With that comes the responsibility and opportunity pass down this amazing hunting lifestyle we know and love.
We are seeing more and more women take on hunting. Some are adopting this lifestyle to know where their food comes from while others simply want a little more time with their significant other. Regardless of the reason, we are seeing an upward trend in women hunters that is trickling down to our youth.
Hunting is no longer an activity to enjoy with just dad, its very much a family affair and that's a good thing. Together, we are teaching our youth the importance of conservation and respect for the great outdoors and animals we harvest. Together, we are passing along a lifestyle that is challenged day in and out.
Being a mother is a gift that is unexplainable. It's the ultimate blessing, a love that is always growing and a relationship that never ends. This Mother's Day we celebrate all of you, the hunting moms who are passing down the values we know and love to the next generation of hunters.
It's time to celebrate and thank the women who made us who we are today. Take advantage of our Mother's Day Package and celebrate the woman who gave you the confidence to accomplish your goals, nursed your scrapes and bruises, introduced you to the great outdoors and helped teach you to hunt.

Books in Brief
Letters selected from a lifetime of correspondence shed fresh light on the insights and anxieties of the author of one of America's greatest novels. Readers can trace Ellison's intellectual, creative, and political development across six decades of exchanges with other writers, thinkers, and, poignantly, his wife Fanny. Masterfully edited, the volume rewards random browsing, but Ellison was an especially prolific and compelling correspondent following the 1952 publication of Invisible Man, even as hints of the pressure he'd face in producing a follow-up became evident. To his close friend Albert Murray—on being "flabbergasted" when asked to address a group of African American college students on "achieving peace through creative experiences"—Ellison writes: "I knew I wasn't going to tell them that creative experience brought peace, but only a fighting chance with the chaos of living."

Notre-Dame: A Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals is just what it sounds like. Following a preface about the 2019 fire, the pocket-sized volume chronologically traces the history of Notre-Dame's builders and architects; the setbacks of its century-long construction; the nineteenth-century renovation inspired by Victor Hugo's writing; and de Gaulle's procession to the cathedral after World War II. Follett, whose 1989 novel The Pillars of the Earth led him to research cathedrals, writes conversationally, with humor and optimism, emphasizing the quirks of personality and strength of community that enabled such a monumental project. The proceeds of the book will be donated to the French historical preservation charity La Fondation du Patrimoine.

Set mostly in Haiti, or among Haitian immigrants in Florida, shared culture (food, weather, faith, language) unites Edwidge Danticat's new collection, Everything Inside. But each story is also precisely unique. A home health aid lends her ex-husband ransom money to free his kidnapped girlfriend. An art dealer meets with her lover for the first time after his family has been killed in an earthquake. An essayist flies to meet a childhood acquaintance, now the first lady of a Caribbean island, for a glamorous New Year's Eve ball. Danticat plays out these relationships and others—between employers and employees, college roommates, a woman with dementia and her daughter—perfectly. Though her characters find themselves in rare circumstances, somehow they always respond relatably: with nuanced guilt, grief, wisdom, and tenderness.

Yea, what bull-frog said. Its almost certaintly a normals problem - all faces in Blender have 1 side. If you look at the wrong side in the Game Engine, the entire face is completely transparent. Either turn double-sided on, flip the normals (if you only need to see one side), or make the walls 3D (meaning they have depth).

Villaseca y Mocejón es una estación de ferrocarril situada en el municipio español de Villaseca de la Sagra, en la provincia de Toledo. En la actualidad no disponde de servicio de viajeros, aunque sus instalaciones pueden ser utilizadas como apartadero para efectuar cruces de trenes.

Situación ferroviaria
La estación, que se encuentra a 473,39 metros de altitud, forma parte de la línea férrea de ancho ibérico Villaluenga-Algodor y está situada en su punto kilométrico 13,06. El tramo es de vía única y sin electrificar.

Historia
La estación fue levantada originalmente como parte de la línea Madrid-Ciudad Real, de ancho ibérico. Dicha línea fue construida por la Compañía de los Caminos de Hierro de Ciudad Real a Badajoz (CRB) e inaugurada en 1879, si bien un año después pasaría a manos de la compañía MZA. En 1941, con la nacionalización de los ferrocarriles de ancho ibérico, las instalaciones pasaron a manos de RENFE. En enero de 1988 se clausuró la mayor parte de la línea Madrid-Ciudad Real, si bien el tramo comprendido entre las estaciones de Villaseca y Algodor (la luego denominada línea Villaluenga-Algodor) se mantuvo plenamente operativo. Desde el 31 de diciembre de 2004 Renfe Operadora explota la línea mientras que Adif es la titular de las instalaciones ferroviarias.

By now, you've probably seen a demo of Power BI Q&A and may have played with one of our sample models. So at this point, you're probably thinking one of two things: Either you're amazed by how smart the system is and are convinced it can effortlessly answer nearly any question about any data; or you don't believe such a thing is possible and are certain it only works in carefully designed toy models after an army of PhD linguists have hand-tuned the system for years.
Customizable domain-specific knowledge of the specific kinds of language used in the target model.
These core capabilities can be applied to any data in a Power Pivot model. However, regardless of how much intelligence we build into it, there are clear limits to the abilities of any system to interpret both the data and the questions targeted at it. It can't calculate "total sales by year" from a pile of customer invoice emails. And it won't be able to tell you "why sales didn't go up last year", even if you kept meticulous records.
But rather than just talking about what it can't do, let's tell you what it can do.
In this series of articles, we'll be walking you through details of what you can expect Q&A to understand and some things you can do to both improve the answers and make a wider variety of questions work. Today, we'll describe what Q&A can do out of the box on raw data with little or no effort. In Part 2 next week, we'll teach you about basic model optimization beneficial both for building and consuming Power View reports as well as for Q&A. Finally, in Part 3, we'll give you an early preview of the creation of phrasing rules, which are used to reduce ambiguity and introduce complex terms.
Imagine you need to publish some data for your users to query and build reports against, but you're up against a tight deadline or running late for a meeting or just plain feeling lazy. So instead of your normal careful scrubbing of the data, cleaning of the schema, and so on, you just quickly import your data into Power Pivot and upload the workbook into your Power BI site. Then almost as an afterthought, you enable it for Q&A. What happens?
Fortunately, Q&A has a set of core natural language understanding abilities which work across every Power Pivot model. First, it has context-dependent keyword search capabilities for both data and metadata. Second, it has a set of built-in knowledge for how to filter, sort, aggregate, group and display data. While Q&A will definitely work better against models that have been optimized for Power View and best against models annotated with phrasing rules, these two primary capabilities apply to all models. Note: In the examples below, we did one such optimization, namely setting the Default Fields on some tables to avoid showing too many columns by default.
With a raw data import, everything depends on the names of the tables and columns, so hopefully your source data had sensible naming conventions. Q&A detects obvious word breaks and plurals, to allow search terms such as "contact name" to match the column ContactName or "retail customer" to match the table retail_customers. It does not yet, however, try to guess the meaning behind abbreviated names like AvgNetPrft, or ones with nonobvious word breaks like pickuptime, or automatically search related terms such as matching "client" to a table named Customer.
For date and year values, Q&A will make a best guess for which column to match against, based on the column data types.
When multiple tables or columns are referenced in a query, Q&A utilizes the implicit relationships between a table and the columns it contains (in queries like "customers and their addresses") and the explicit relationships defined in the model between tables (in queries like "list customers and their orders").
Distantly related things can be used in a single query, so long as there exists a set of relationships between them.
Q&A's keyword search capabilities will attempt to use context to resolve ambiguity caused by duplicate column names or duplicate values. For example, "customers 2012 London phone number" will match "London" to customer city rather than employee city and "phone number" to customer phone number rather than employee phone number.
Aggregates can be requested for numeric columns.
Or the type can be named explicitly.
In case you're interested in playing with this sample model yourself, it can be downloaded below.
That's quite a bit of "free" functionality for little to no work on your part, and for certain raw data imports, Q&A does a surprisingly good job of answering user questions. However, there are a number of ways this can go wrong. Next week in Part 2, we'll step you through the most common problems, and show how you can fix them and improve your Power View experience at the same time.


With an increasingly global spotlight on UK dentistry, access to high quality dentistry has become an important issue. Centre for Dentistry, the dental practice in Sainsbury's, are eliminating barriers to access and embracing technology to make it easier and more convenient than ever to book an appointment with your dentist.
It is reported that almost 50% of NHS dentists are not taking on new patients and there are long waiting lists in many areas of the country. NHS cuts have had a negative impact on the service dentists are able to offer their patients. If you do manage to see an NHS dentist, chances are that you'd be in and out within 10 minutes.
An NHS that is "under-resourced and focused more upon experimental targets and tick-boxes than patients" (according to Tony Kilcoyne in his letter to The Telegraph, January 2018) doesn't lend itself to a system with patient care at its heart. More and more people in the UK are turning to private dentistry and learning that it's more affordable and convenient than they had first thought.
Centre for Dentistry are firmly focused on preventative dentistry to support the aim of keeping people in good health for as long as possible.
Despite the importance of oral health, too many people neglect their teeth and gums. The sense that it is 'only teeth' and somehow less important than other aspects of physical health, remains deeply rooted. Combine this with the fact you may have to wait months to see your dentist, is it any wonder people are giving up and avoiding the dentist altogether?
Centre for Dentistry are delighted to launch online booking and a new patient app – the first dental app of its kind. The new CFD app "CFDent" has been designed to make it as easy as possible for patients to be in control of their own dental care. You can now book an appointment online or via the app directly with your dentist 24/7, at a time that suits you. It's available to download in the App Store and Google Play now.
Centre for Dentistry has been at the forefront of innovation in the dental industry since the launch of their first dental practice inside Sainsbury's supermarket in 2012.
What started out as a seed of an idea to transform the dental industry has now become a reality. Centre for Dentistry are leading the way, bringing a service directly to the customer and ensuring they are the most important part of that service.

THE FIRST RECEIVER
Violeth is a born fighter. Literally, she was born with both of her hands in a tight fisted position. It was not until she was a toddler that her fingers could finally move freely. But her thumbs did not. Skin inevitably grew over the thumbs trapping them against her palms. Often her parents would find dirt and small bugs trapped in her hands because she could not open her fingers. She was not born with a problem in her back or her feet. But as she grew, excess bone began to develop around her ankles and her feet began to turn under. As time passed, her shoulder blade began to protrude causing a hump in her back. Believed to be caused by the weight of water as well as the possibility of weakened bones, she cannot carry things on her head like other women in her culture. The pressure is too great and too painful. But nothing ever stops Violeth. In secondary school, Violeth was so determined, she played soccer at every chance, and became the star goal keeper. The fighter comes through her in whatever she does. But Violeth is also the most gentle. She is brilliant and kind and has a radiating warmth. Her strength is enhanced by her softness. Violeth is daughter to Joseph, Save the Rain's Tanzanian director.
The first receiver becomes the next generation of givers
Violeth was ten when Save the Rain began. When she reflects back on her life prior to having clean water at home, her brow furors with uneasiness. "I started fetching water when I was five. I am the oldest so often I would have to go by myself. The river closest to our home was deep in the bush, down a steep hill. At times, there were men waiting there. I was afraid. Most of the men were drunk or on drugs. I was aware even when I was young that these men could do bad things to me. I often heard them beat other children. Sometimes the men would call out to me. I was so afraid they would beat or rape me too, I would just run back home. But without the water we could not survive, so inevitably I had to go back. Sometimes they were there in groups. If I saw them, I would hide in the bushes until I saw someone else going to fetch water. I would go with them because there was safety in numbers. We also had a problem of children being stolen from our village. It was said they were being taken to the mines. I remember my neighbor Victor. He was taken as a baby." She gazes into the distance, pained by the memory. "Especially during the rain, the path to the river was so slippery. Because my feet are not straight, it was so hard to keep my balance while carrying the water. Sometimes I would fall and the water would spill. I would have to go back and fetch the water I lost again. I would get in trouble for being late because there was no water at home and my family would be there waiting." I ask Violeth if she remembers how she felt when Save the Rain brought clean water to her home. "When I knew I would never have to fetch water again, I felt peace for the first time in my life. I was 10. I looked at my young sister who was 3 at the time and realized that she would never know the fear that I knew because she would never have to fetch water for our family, ever." Soon after Save the Rain began, a surgeon was found to help Violeth with her hands. Recently, she graduated from Form 6, the highest level of secondary school.
Since she was little, Violeth dreamed of becoming a doctor. She wanted to help the people of her nation, to save and change women and children's lives. But Violeth missed being accepted to a medical program by only one grade. When she told me about her inability to pursue her dream, I shared her loss. But sometimes opportunity hides in life's deepest disappointments. Just before Violeth graduated, Save the Rain started working with a very special population of special needs children who were unable to walk or attend school. When we discussed these underserved children and how we were going to help them, a smile illuminated Violeth's face. She said, "I am one of those kids. I was born with disability. But I am proof that anything can be overcome. What if this is the way I am meant to serve? Not as a doctor but as an advocate for all the kids Save the Rain is trying to help?" Violeth started working with Save the Rain right away, under the wing of her father and as the newest member of our team. She is charged with overseeing the health evaluations of children and advocating for those who need more care. She tracks their growth and identifies those that need medical attention. She takes them to the hospital to ensure they get the help they need. She is making sure that no child is left forgotten and that each of them knows how much their life matters. We are so very blessed that she missed that one mark and that we are able to benefit from her incredibly compassionate heart and exquisite mind. Like all dads, Joseph is pretty happy to go to work every day with his very special girl.

The DfT is launching regulatory reviews to smooth the way for innovative mobility products and services.
One review will look at the barriers to introducing 'micromobility vehicles' such as e-scooters on Britain's streets. Another will look at shaping the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) market. A third will look at bus, taxi and private hire licensing laws, including how to facilitate more flexible bus services.
Transport for the South East is pressing ahead with plans to seek a wide range of transport powers when it becomes a statutory sub-national transport body, despite DfT warnings that some proposals may cross departmental 'red lines'.
The powers TfSE is seeking include bus franchising, tendered bus services, road building and road charging. It emphasises that these would be held concurrently with local authorities and would only be used with the consent of the constituent authorities.
TfSE also wants joint powers with the secretary of state to determine the rail high level output specification and road investment strategy for the South East.
Transport Scotland is proposing to commission a business case into extending high-speed rail to the north of England and central Scotland.
The exercise will build on Transport Scotland's work that has identified three route options for high-speed rail to reach Edinburgh/Glasgow: one is a new route between Newcastle and Edinburgh, the other two make use of a mix of the existing West Coast Main Line and a new line within Scotland.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority has voiced reservations about the DfT's plans for the Transpennine rail upgrade.
The DfT has yet to release details of the investment programme but WYCA says reports of what it will contain suggest that it will deliver "only limited journey time benefits and modest additional capacity".
Local authorities in Greater Manchester are seeking £256m from the Government to deliver their clean air action plan to achieve compliance with illegal levels of nitrogen dioxide.
The plan includes a conurbation-wide charging clean air zone. When introduced in 2021, this would be a Class B scheme covering lorries, buses, coaches, taxis and private hire vehicles. In 2023 it would become a Class C scheme, covering vans too.
The plan should deliver compliance in 2024 but the councils say that date will be delayed if the Government fails to provide all the requested funding.


Any idea when the final requests will be done so we can request?
I will do my best to finish today and open tomorrow!
Here is your cover! Since you didn't answered my PM about the cracked link on your request, I did this… Let me know your thoughts!
Here is your cover! Ugh, I really hope you like it… Let me know your thoughts!
holy guacamole i LOVE these!!! I really like the black one in particular. These are gorgeous thank you so much! I will be using them.
Can I request series covers?
Summary:Johanna Mason had a heart of stone when she killed Harper, winning the 71st Hunger Games. Blaine Entwistle had a broken heart when he won the 73rd Hunger Games. Blaine and Johanna never expected to be going back into the games. The unspoken law in Panem was that if they won the Hunger Games they got to live the rest of their lives in peace. However, the 75th Hunger Games has changed that. Blaine is forced back into the arena for a second time, going up against previous victors and alongside the rest of the victors is Johanna Mason, the girl that killed his relationship. Forced to kill or be killed, Blaine enters the games with a vengeance and a dying wish to kill Johanna Mason for what she did to Harper.
Idea: I would love it if I could have a cover similar to the linked ones for The Mortal Instruments. I would love a boy for this cover in the background, standing on top of a lake with a boat in the middle. Alternatively, the cover could be of a boy holding a bow and arrow in his hand. The colour scheme should be dark. My third idea is a model based cover, similar to the one I already have. Tommy Dorfman should be the model and he should be standing in a dark forest. Maybe his face could be splashed with blood?
Summary: Many years ago rumours flew through Panem of a victors rebellion, and in the end, Snow destroyed every single victor. He burned the victors' villages to the ground and slaughtered thousands of citizens, many of whom had done nothing wrong. He resumed the games after blowing up District Thirteen and executing Miss Everdeen, Mr Mellark and Mr Entwistle on the stage in front of a crowd of rebels. The games resumed as normal, but upon the winning of the games, they began to disappear. Nobody, not even Snow knew where they went. It was like they were smuggled out of the country, never to be seen again. Only one person knows where they went, and on their head, a blood shadow attacks their thoughts. And on the eve of the century of the rebellion, a new Quell is announced. Snow demands the citizens of the Capitol chose the tributes they want to become marked. Branded the tributes are. But yet this mysterious assailant is watching, waiting for the day where the games can be taken down forever. For they were once marked with the blood of their kind. They escaped the games, but why?
Idea 1: I would love if there could be another cover similar to the mortal instruments but this time with a girl and a boy standing over a burning village.
Idea 2: The cover could be of a girl with blonde hair standing next to a boy with blonde hair. They should also be stood over a burning village.
Summary: In the city of Beverly Hills lived a billionaire. Dark hair and emerald eyes topped off with a British accent. Basically, a man living his best life. Meanwhile, in Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles, California, lived a woman working as a waitress, until she is founded by the billionaire, then it's all downhill from there.
Idea: I was thinking Lily James on the cover at night on a street and behind her a hooded figure. Or her standing in a bedroom in front of a window and behind her a hooded figure in a bedroom.
