This issue is the result of the facade conference Powerskin, held on 19 January 2016 at the building tradefair 'Bau' in Munich. The conference was organised in a cooperation of TU Munich, TU Darmstadt and TU Delft. All three universities maintain a facade research and education unit on building envelopes. The conference featured a mix of practice and education related and scientific contributions. Again, JFDE was chosen as the platform to publish a selection of scientific papers. A total of 22 abstracts were reviewed of which 17 were pre-selected. From those, we received 13 papers that had been subjected to our strict double blind peer review process. A final selection of 9 papers forms this issue. We thank our guest editors Thomas Auer and Jens Schneider who have been key partners in creating this special issue. As discussed in the last editorial, we have successfully completed the NWO funding period (Netherlands Organisation of Scientific Research) to start up JFDE. Open Access publishing strongly depends on author publishing fees and the introduction in our scientific ((field?)) needs some more time. In search of a new business model, we proudly announce that we have found two partners wo believe in the relevance of JFDE. The Society of Facade Engineering SFE is a joint initiative of CIBSE, IStructE and the RIBA with the aim to create a forum to advance knowledge and practice in facade engineering. CWCT It is an industry funded centre and a leading information provider and trainer in the field of building envelopes and glazing. Both organisations acknowledge the need for an independent scientific publishing organ which will contribute to the development of the field of facade design, engineering and construction. This support enables us to continue JFDE. We want to thank the publisher IOS Press and especially Mark Eligh to have guided JFDE to the level where it is now. This issue is the first published by TU Delft Open, a publishing house established by the TU Delft Library. We will continue to deliver high quality contributions with the aim of 3 issues per year. Thank you for supporting JFDE.
In order to meet the Swedish energy efficiency objectives for the built environment until 2050, a particular building stock has to be addressed: the houses of the Million Homes Programme, an ambitious housing programme of the 1960s and 70s that resulted in a large number of standardized multi-family houses all over Sweden. These are in need of upgrading the energy and comfort quality to current standards, which provides an excellent opportunity to investigate the potentials of 'prefabricated multi-active' façades for refurbishments on large scale. While 'prefabrication' is linked to cost-effectiveness and high replicability, 'multi-active' addresses the potential of embedded active and passive measures for improved energy efficiency and energy regulation out of the façade. Integrated building services technologies, solar technologies or moveable components, such as shading systems, are considered active measures. Passive measures include physical and constructive measures, such as e.g. thermal insulation or selective coatings of glazing's, and provide a "passive" energy flow control to improve the thermal quality of the building envelope. Many of these strategies are well-known, traditional solutions. Although they do not provide an energy-generating or -supplying function, they dynamically interact with environmental changes; preheating of supply air through the air cavity of a façade construction or adaptive thermal buffer zones are just few of many examples. The question is how traditional passive strategies can be used to contribute most effectively to the demanded energy efficiency. The paper presents first results from an assessment dealing with this question: Two traditional 'passive' façade strategies, a curtain wall system and closed balconies, have been analysed in regards to their impact on energy balance and their thermal behaviour in a defined renovation scenario. The assessment is aims to support the development of a multi-active facade concept suitable for large-scale refurbishments of the multi-family houses in Sweden, which is part of the initial phase in the pre-study "Multi-active façade". The pre-study considers architectural, technological and constructive aspects, energy performance and indoor comfort optimization, but also economic feasibility and constraints to get replicable on large scale. So-called added values that concern the upgrade to modern living standards and expectations by inhabitants and the market value of the building are also touched. The paper discusses, based on a technology screening to identify suitable key measures, the energy saving potential and impact on thermal indoor comfort of two passive renovation strategies for facades.
A modular multifunctional façade for the retrofit of shopping malls, capable of adapting to different climates and to the existing building features both by the presence of movable components and by proper sizing of the fixed ones, is under development within the European FP7 project CommONEnergy. In particular, this curtain-wall façade is equipped with a fixed shading system, a photovoltaic panel with a battery feeding the automated openings for natural ventilation. The aim of this work is to define a reliable parametric model for a multi-functional façade system, to support designers with a set of useful data for the holistic design of the façade configuration depending on climate, orientation and building use. Firstly, a reference zone model for the façade was devised; this had to be both representative of reality and smartly defined for simulation software implementation. Besides the definition of the façade model parameters, all unknown design parameters were identified with their minimum and maximum values, depending on different possible applications and environmental conditions in which the façade could be applied. The inputs for the model were defined in a parametric matrix and included: facade module size, façade orientation, climate, window typology (thermal transmittance and g-value), distance between the shading lamellas, tilt angle, and openable window size. The simulation engine was decoupled: visual comfort and artificial lighting use were assessed with Radiance, while the façade thermal behaviour was evaluated by means of building energy simulations in TRNSYS, taking into consideration the daylight assessment results. For each simulated configuration, a set of relevant outputs fields for Indoor Air Quality, thermal and visual comfort, and energy performance were derived. The main considered performance indicators were the long-term percentage of people dissatisfied, the number of hours when CO2 concentration was within the recommended values for each of the categories defined by EN 15251:2007, the illuminance provided by daylight, the energy consumption due to lighting, ventilation, heating and cooling, and the energy generated by the PV panel. Moreover, all outputs were collected in a pre-design support tool comprised of a database accessible through a filtering system to gather the desired performances. This work highlights the role of thermal and daylighting simulation in the design of an adaptive multifunctional façade through the definition of a methodology for the support at the pre-design phase.
The last decades have been marked by a growing concern over scarcity of resources caused by the rapid industrialization of emerging economies as well as by the high material consumption at a global scale. These changing environmental conditions have inevitably created new challenges and demands for mediation of the interaction between the natural and the human-made environments. In response to these challenges, designers are currently moving away from conventional top-down design, towards a nature-inspired approach in search of the underlying principles of morphogenesis and materialization inherent to biological entities. Inscribed in this approach, this paper proposes an innovative design-to-fabrication workflow for the conception of nature-inspired load-responsive skin systems which integrates the use of computational tools, Additive Manufacturing, and material experiments with full-scale prototypes. The design phase employs custom algorithms to determine an optimal material distribution for free-form architectural shapes, given a specific loading condition. Through fabrication tests at different scales, the viability of a production system based on Fused Deposition Modelling is demonstrated. Subsequently, the realization of a final prototype of a load-responsive cellular envelope cladded with Fiber-Glass Reinforced Plastic is presented. Opportunities and current limitations of the approach and the emerging architectural system are critically discussed towards future developments.
Solar energy has been actively promoted as a clean energy source since 1973's oil crisis, evidenced by the emergence of initiatives such as the Solar Heating & Cooling Programme of the International Energy Agency or the US Department of Energy. Nonetheless, solar technologies have not been widely used in the built environment, limiting their operation to industrial and macroscale applications. Commercially available products such as building integrated PV panels (BIPV) or building integrated solar thermal collectors (BIST); and novel prototypes and concepts for solar cooling integrated facades are seen as interesting alternatives for the development of new performance based façade components for high-performing commercial buildings. However, there are barriers to overcome in order to promote widespread application of architecturally integrated solar components.
The present paper seeks to discuss perceived barriers for widespread façade integration of solar technologies, in order to define the current scenario and generate guidelines for future developments. In order to achieve this, the paper presents the results of a survey addressed to professionals with practical experience in the development of façade systems for office buildings, situated at any stage of the design and construction process. Hence, architects, façade consultants, system suppliers and façade builders were considered. The outcome of this study is the definition of the main perceived barriers for façade integration of solar technologies, discussing the results from the survey along with other related experiences found in the literature.
This study is part of the ongoing PhD research project titled COOLFACADE: Architectural integration of solar cooling strategies into the curtain-wall, developed within the Façade Research Group (FRG) in the Green Building Innovation programme (GBI) of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft.
The increasing migration into cities leads to an increasing number of people stressed by noise. More and more people are moving into urban settings comprised of multiple noise sources and hard reflective glass and steel facades. The omnidirectional arrangement of noise sources like airborne noise or car traffic noise and their reflection on the facades neither composes urban arrangements with silent indoor areas nor comfortable quiet areas outdoor. To come up with requirements for silent areas inside and outside of buildings further design parameters have to be introduced. The facade is not only a shelter for the inside it can also provide comfort spaces outside the building. As engineers and architects we cannot change the noise source, but we can influence the impact on the surrounding urban space by controlling the reflection of noise emissions on the urban surfaces like facades. In a facade design the capability of reflecting noise can be tuned by modifying the surface. In order to come up with the acoustical needs no radical new way of facade design has to be introduced. Mainly a shift of attention to the acoustic parameters is needed. Based on acoustic measurements of basic geometry principles this research presents known facade designs and their acoustic parameters regarding the reflection capabilities and the functions in a facade.
"Architecture Fully Fashioned" is about lightweight design and new textile based building skins. Fully fashioned refers to a textile production technology wherein all parts of a piece of cloth are produced in one integrated production process, ready to wear the moment they leave the machine. Fully fashioned powerskin in an architectural sense implies a light, highly prefabricated textile envelope with minimum needs of installation work on the building site.
To develop these new textile powerskins, experimental student works and applied research projects at Frankfurt University of Applied Science investigate the potential of the combination of textile technologies with foaming technologies. This paper focuses on so called spacer fabrics and a research project called 3dTEX and founded by Zukunf Bau, where wall elements from foamed spacer fabrics presently are under development. The aim of the paper is to present 3dTEX within the context of the accompanying experimental student design works and to show the so far achieved results for a prefabricated, lightweight, self supporting and highly insulated foamed textile skin, with reduced needs of installation work on the building site. This has been achieved by using the spacer fabric as lost formwork and using 3d-textile technologies, so as woven or warp-knitted spacer fabrics, in order to receive complex geometrical sandwich-like textiles. Together with the foam they become FabricFoam©. The new selfsupporting building elements not only offer possibilities for complex architectonical geometries including loadbearing structures, but also a wide range of surface designs in terms of structures, colours and additional functionalities. The focus of 3dTEX is on the development of appropriate textile geometries for one- ore two-layer textile elements, depending on the choosen textile technologies. Foamed, they become lightweight, insulated elements, where the two layer textile can even be transformed into a ready-made, rear-ventilated, insulated wall element made from gradient fibre and foam material, able to absorb tensile and compressive forces at the same time.
The challenge for 3dTEX is to close the knowledge gap about what kind of textile technology can produce the envisioned textile geometry with which kind of fibre material. Further, 3dTEX research is about the appropriate, possibly in-situ, foaming technology and foam material, so that fibre and foam materials match as an aesthetic architectural element and in terms of mechanical and building physics as well as in terms of grey energy and recycling aspects.
The majority of the photovoltaic (PV) modules used in building skins contains glass, but does not entirely comply with the product standards and design rules for glass in building. As a result, structural applications are subject to individual approval by the building authorities in many cases. This paper presents experimental research on glass based photovoltaic modules, analysing their mechanical properties in comparison with approved construction products. The focus is on glass-glass modules and on the question whether the most common module configurations can be classified as laminated safety glass. Testing included residual resistance testing to study the potential to provide residual load-bearing capacity and shear testing to examine the interaction of photovoltaic cells and interlayer material as well as adhesion characteristics. If approved interlayers are used, glass-glass modules correspond to the safety level of laminated safety glass, because the PV integration does not impair breakage behaviour and improves residual resistance, while the observed reduced adhesive bond does not imply a higher injury risk. Formal classification of photovoltaic products within the product and design standards for glass in building could facilitate the use of building-integrated photovoltaics. Life-cycle assessments of photovoltaic systems so far concentrated on roof-top and ground-mounted installations. Based on these studies, the specific environmental performance of building-integrated systems was analysed. Constructive integration of the PV modules associated with the substitution of conventional materials in the building skin reduce the life-cycle environmental impacts like primary energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions, especially in those areas with suboptimal solar irradiation like façades. The net energy payback times calculated for Central European range from 0.8 and 5.6 years and the net carbon footprint varies between 12 and 192 g CO2-eq/kWh.
This paper reports on the research-driven design process of an innovative thermal mass concept: Convective Concrete. The goal is to improve building energy efficiency and comfort levels by addressing some of the shortcomings of conventional building slabs with high thermal storage capacity. Such heavyweight constructions tend to have a slow response time and do not make effective use of the available thermal mass. Convective Concrete explores new ways of making more intelligent use of thermal mass in buildings. To accomplish this on-demand charging of thermal mass, a network of ducts and fans is embedded in the concrete wall element. This is done by developing customized formwork elements in combination with advanced concrete mixtures. To achieve an efficient airflow rate, the embedded lost formwork and the concrete itself function like a lung. The convection takes place with separate pipes on both sides of the concrete's core to increase the charge/discharge of the thermal storage process. The first stage of the research, described in this paper, is to simulate the Convective Concrete at the component level, whereupon a mock-up is tested in a climate test set-up. The paper concludes with describing planned activities for turning this concept into a real building product.
The paper illustrates the use of aerogel technology in façades to reduce thermal bridging and limit condensation. Additionally by mitigating local thermal bridges the indoor climate, especially draught and molds creation, can be eliminated as the surface temperature increases and prevents these negative factors. Curtain walls, in comparison to opaque wall, are often not designed in an energy efficient way and can be large contributors to heat loss of buildings. This is common for curtain walls in Asia and North America, where the energy requirements are not as demanding as in Europe. Building envelopes have many details which can easily introduce thermal bridge due to limited space of insulation or incorrectly solved construction detail. The heat flow through a poor thermally-performing detail, e.g. exposed concrete slab, could account for over 40% of the heat loss of the façade. The contribution of a well-insulated slab could be less than 10%. Unfortunately, traditional insulation techniques are often not suitable due to limited installation space. This paper discusses several case studies whereby the performance of a reference case is compared to a case with a thermally optimized façade implementing Building Insulation Blanket (BIB), which uses silica based aerogel technology. The thermal conductivity of BIB can be as low as 0.015W/mK, and together with its high flexibility and fire resistance enables new design possibilities. The use of BIB in the case studies, contributed to the reduction of overall curtain wall thermal transmittance up to 30%. Additionally condensation risk was significantly reduced.

Lambda Delta Sigma () is the only remaining Greek society at Concordia College. Founded in 1919 as a literary society, the ladies of Lambda Delta Sigma have since shifted to a philanthropic organization with their main charity being the YWCA of Fargo. The society operates under their original motto: "Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve".

Literary societies at Concordia
Lambda Delta Sigma was formed as a literary society for women at Concordia College in 1919.

The original purpose of literary societies at Concordia was to "acquire skill at forensics- debating, speaking and parliamentary procedure". In Concordia's early years, being a part of a literary society tied into students' English grades with points deducted for failure to attend meetings. In fact, students received one eighth of a college credit for participating in these literary societies until 1927. Even after students stopped receiving grade increases for participating in literary societies, students involved in these organizations prioritized academics. In 1937, the members of the Lambda Delta Sigma society earned the highest GPA out of all the organizations at the college, including other literary societies and extra-curricular clubs. The members of the society received an average GPA of 1.932 points out of the possible 2, as compared to the average campus GPA of 1.56.

Members of women's literary societies at Concordia College presented original one-act plays at their annual open houses and competed against one another. These plays were written and directed by the members of the societies and faculty members screened the scripts before their debut.

A majority of colleges had literary societies, and a large majority of them transitioned into sororities and fraternities as time progressed. In 1929, an intersociety council formed to govern over the eight local societies operating on campus. This council governed the activities of the organizations and their rules for recruiting new members. The aim of the intersociety council was to promote cooperation amongst the literary societies and to maintain a good relationship with the campus. A member from each of the eight societies was elected yearly to serve on this council.

In 1924, 90 percent of female upperclassmen were involved in women's literary societies and 95 percent of male upperclassmen were involved in men's literary societies. Students were urged to join societies in order to adapt to college life and learn how to cooperate with others. In 1932, there were 255 students at Concordia College involved in societies; this was more than half of the students enrolled at the college. Of the female undergraduates, 60% were members of a society.

LDS as a local sorority
Following national trends, in the 1940s the societies on campus that had formed as literary societies began to shift over to more social purposes and began to referring to themselves as fraternities and sororities. Two of the eight societies removed the word "literary" from their names in 1938 to address their new purpose as social Greek letter organizations. They still kept some of their literary roots by such activities as performing short plays at social events. Societies on campus participated in homecoming festivities, held joint activities with their brother and sister societies, and hosted banquets and parties for their members.

Lambda Delta Sigma, also referred to as LDS, likewise adjusted its focus to become a philanthropy (service) based, independent sorority. The Concordia College chapter of LDS is the only such group on campus. It is not affiliated with the National Panhellenic Conference as are the majority of national sororities. During the 1960s and 1970s, membership was on an upswing for LDS, and in 1979, the society had 55 active members. But towards the end of the 1990s, the number of new members had substantially dropped. In 1996, only four new members were initiated into LDS. In subsequent years, membership has stabilized.

Symbols
The official colors of the Lambda Delta Sigma sorority are navy blue and white, the sorority has unofficially adopted hot pink as one of their colors as well. The original colors of the society were scarlet and white. The flower of the society is the American Beauty rose or the red rose. The symbol of the sorority is the pink flamingo. The jewel of the society is the pearl. The motto of the society is the same as it was in 1919: "Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve".

Involvement

LDS and AES
LDS held banquets regularly with the help of their brother society, AES. These banquets all had unique themes and handmade invitations created by the LDS girls, complete with a schedule of events and menu. At these banquets, the members would also put on short plays that matched the theme of the event. They had a few luncheons throughout the year and one formal banquet at the end of the year. Because of AES's high involvement in campus athletic activities, the joint events of the brother-sister society pairing were arranged around the college's athletic schedule.

In the early years of the societies, Lambda Delta Sigma and Alpha Epsilon Sigma held joint recruitment events for freshmen students interested in joining a literary society. LDS had a society room on campus and this served as the location where the two societies hosted open houses with skits, talks from faculty advisors, and songs. Recruitment events were hosted in the Spring semester of the school year and were followed by a pledge period to the society. Freshmen students were eligible to pledge one of the societies if they had earned a minimum of 12 honor points during the Fall semester. Not all freshmen students were accepted to societies due to maximum quotas of new members.

LDS involvement in campus activities
Besides holding socials with their brother society, Lambda Delta Sigma participated in events with the other Greek societies on Concordia's campus until the other societies were disbanded due to non-adherence to the college's policies. Lambda Delta Sigma used to put on campus-wide parties and events along with other campus Greek societies before CEC [Campus Entertainment Commission] was in existence. The societies also participated in a Winter Carnival that boasted activities such as snow sculpting contests. Included in the Winter Carnival was a winter Olympics in which the Greek societies would compete against each other in various winter sporting events. The Winter Carnival was an extremely popular event on campus and while it was hosted by the Student Association, the Greek societies did a lot of the managing of events.

LDS in the Fargo-Moorhead community
As other Greek societies on campus began to disband, Lambda Delta Sigma sought other Greek societies to socialize with. In turn, forging a relationship with the Greek societies of North Dakota State University and Minnesota State University Moorhead.

In 2002, LDS began electing a 'ladies man' from a NDSU or MSUM fraternity to act as a liaison between the sorority and the surrounding Greek communities. Having this fraternity member helped the society stay connected even though they are the only Greek society left at Concordia. Another way that the society maintains connections is by having one mandatory monthly social between the members of LDS and another Greek society, either at NDSU or MSUM.

Being involved with these other societies helped LDS come up with new ideas for their own philanthropy projects. In 2006, LDS held their first ever Mr. Concordia pageant after seeing the Mr. NDSU pageant. The Mr. Concordia pageant connects LDS to the Concordia campus by picking a representative from campus organizations to participate in the fundraising. The first pageant held benefited the Muscular Dystrophy Association but has shifted over the years to benefit the society's main charity, the YWCA.

Another one of the society's ongoing philanthropy projects is a pop-tab collection drive for the Ronald McDonald House. LDS goes head to head with a fraternity at NDSU to see who can collect the most pop-tabs; the society that collects the lesser amount has to cook dinner for the other society. The society holds one mandatory philanthropy event for its members each month. Some of the philanthropy events they participate in include volunteering at nursing homes, helping out at the YWCA and volunteering at a food bank.

While Greek societies have lost the major role they once played on the Concordia campus, Lambda Delta Sigma maintains their society status as the only Greek organization in existence at Concordia. The society maintains their original motto of "Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve" and this can be seen through the lasting service they have done for the Fargo-Moorhead area.

World Azerbaijanis came together on Republic Day
The virtual conference organized by the State Committee on Work with Diaspora on the occasion of "May 28 - Republic Day" was attended by about 367 compatriots from 58 countries, including heirs of the Republicans living in different countries, as well as relatives of the heroes of the Second Karabakh War, representatives of the "Karabakh is Azerbaijan" platform, diaspora volunteers and diaspora youth. After the National Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan was played, the memory of the heroes who were martyred for the independence and territorial integrity of our state was commemorated with a minute of silence.
Congratulating the World Azerbaijanis on the Republic Day, Chairman of the Committee Fuad Muradov spoke about the unparalleled victory of our brave army under the leadership of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev and praised the active work of Azerbaijanis around the world during the Patriotic War .
The conference participants drew attention to the recent provocations committed by Armenia in the direction of the Kalbajar region of the Azerbaijani state border and said they would do their best to immediately and objectively inform the world community about the incident on the state border. Speaking about the establishment of the first democratic republic in the Muslim world, the chairman of the committee said that the Azerbaijani people had made a great contribution to the restoration and strengthening of our independence by inviting prominent statesman Heydar Aliyev to power in 1993.
The conference participants praised the establishment of the "100th anniversary of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic" jubilee medal in 2018 and the presentation of this medal to our compatriots living outside Azerbaijan as a high value given by the Azerbaijani state to the Republic and its heirs.
Expressing their views on the festival in Shusha, our compatriots noted that the services of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva are of special importance in presenting the realities of Azerbaijan to the world community and promoting intangible cultural heritage of Azerbaijan in the world. The "Khari Bulbul" music festival organized by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation in Shusha, the cultural capital of Azerbaijan, on the occasion of the historic Victory, once again proved that Azerbaijan is the indivisible homeland of everyone living here.
Maria khan Khoyskaya, the heir of Fatali khan Khoyski, the first chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, living in Switzerland, said: "I am very glad that Azerbaijan has taken its decent place in the world and has a bright future." Timsal Garabakir, the successor of Kazim Garabakir's dynasty, a prominent Turkish military and political figure, recalled Kazim Bey's military career in Nakhchivan, expressed great confidence that Turkish flags would fly in the world forever, and congratulated everyone on the liberation of Karabakh. Ahmad Javad's granddaughter Yagut Abdullayeva, who lives in Israel, also expressed her love for Azerbaijan and wished the World Azerbaijanis eternal unity.
Stressing that "This year, Republic Day is a double holiday for all Azerbaijanis, as the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan has been restored," our compatriots said with great pride that we have a powerful state like Azerbaijan, which pursues an independent policy without any external, the slogan "Karabakh is Azerbaijan!" expresses the unchanging truth, and the world has already accepted this reality. Each of us will continue to love our country, support for increasing its prestige in the international arena, and do our best to preserve the diaspora solidarity strengthened by the historic victory we won in the Patriotic War.
During the conference, a video covering a long period from the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic to the Republic of Azerbaijan was shown and music calling for unity was played.

A mother is to be called on to influence the fate of a teacher who went on the run with her teenage daughter for more than a year.
Paul Tramontini, 33, triggered a massive hunt when he disappeared with 15-year-old former pupil Katherine Baillie.
Yesterday the judge who will sentence him said he wanted to hear from the teenager's mother, Margery, before making his decision.
The couple fled to Italy, but returned home after 415 days - during which her family heard nothing - and Tramontini turned himself in to police.
Yesterday he appeared before a judge at Portsmouth Crown Court and admitted abducting Katherine, who is now aged 16.
He also pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice by sending her a mobile phone text message telling her not to agree to a medical examination.
Tramontini, who began his relationship with Katherine when she was a 14-year-old pupil, denied a second abduction charge, which was ordered to remain on the file.
Judge David Selwood adjourned sentence for four weeks so that reports can be prepared.
He said he also wants to hear from Katherine's mother before deciding how to deal with the case, and to learn about the couple's plans for the future.
They arrived and left court hand in hand, with Katherine wearing a gold ring on her engagement finger. Robert Duvall, defending, told the court Tramontini is 'under no illusions' about the seriousness of the offences.
He asked that the state of the couple's relationship be considered when sentence is passed.
Judge Selwood released Tramontini on bail, with conditions that he lives at an address in Wiltshire and surrenders his passport.
The judge stressed that the former teacher still faces the threat of a jail sentence.
As Tramontini sat in the dock, Katherine stayed at the back of the court in an emotional state throughout the brief hearing.
The illicit relationship started when Tramontini was a maths teacher and Katherine a pupil at Mayfield Secondary School in Portsmouth.
The teacher quit his job in July 1999, but the friendship - which had raised the suspicions of his colleagues - continued.
Staff at the school were concerned about the relationship and alerted social services.
Tramontini is said to have proposed after watching the teenager sing in a band called Afterglow.
Katherine initially ran away in early April last year for four days and Tramontini was arrested on suspicion of child abduction.
At the time he said: 'I will do anything for Kat and it's the same with her for me. Whatever happens at the end of the day, we will be together.
Days later, they disappeared together and set up home in Italy.
Katherine's desperately worried adoptive parents had no idea where she was and her picture was displayed on posters and even on milk cartons. In June, the runaway couple contacted a solicitor who negotiated with police for their return.
When her daughter came back, 64-year-old Mrs Baillie said: 'The whole family is breathing a huge sigh of relief.
'She came running over to us and said, "I'm so sorry". It was all very tearful.
Last night Mr and Mrs Baillie were unavailable for comment.

If you have oily skin, then it's probably your parents that you can thank for that, because oily skin is something that is passed down in the genes. As anyone with oily skin will know, it can be really difficult to deal with. Not only do you have the constant worry that a shine has appeared on your face, excess oil on the skin can also cause blackheads, pimples and other skin irritations.
Oily skin is not all bad news through, for a start you will probably age better, because the excess oil helps to prevent wrinkles from forming. The other bit of good news we have for you is that oily skin can be dealt with and there are ways to make sure that your face looks great all day long. If you feel like you are fighting a losing battle against your oily skin, then read on, and you will find ten great tips on how to deal with oily skin.
What is an Oily Skin?
When it appears that your entire skin (especially on the face) is coated with layers and layers of oil, you are probably suffering from an oily skin. The overproduction of oil is caused by hyperactive sebaceous glands.
Our body produces oil to help keep our skin soft and supple, but if too much sebum is produced, it can lead to acne flare-ups and oiliness which are some of the leading causes of acne. Two main factors are to blame: hormones and genetics.
Oily skin is known medically as seborrhea and is caused by excess skin oil produced within the pores. During puberty and other life events, fluctuating hormones can result in increased androgen levels. Androgens are male hormones present in both males and females that signal the maturation of the skin's sebaceous glands. As these glands mature, oil production increases.
It's also important to note the role that genetics can play in oily skin. In most acne patients, the reaction to hormonal changes is dependent on genes and hormones. Life events like puberty or pregnancy can result in hormone fluctuations, and genetics and hereditary factors can determine how your skin reacts to these hormone fluctuations.
There are many ways that daily habits and lifestyle choices can affect your skin, and impact the appearance of oil.
Getting the right amount of rest each night is important to holistic health, and it also can significantly affect the look and appearance of the skin. Sleep deprivation can result in insulin resistance. Insulin increases can result in the creation of IGF-1, a hormone that stimulates an increase in the production of sebum.
Be sure to manage your stress, as it has been connected to insulin resistance and worsened breakouts in numerous studies. Exercise regularly, practice meditation, and talk to a friend or family member if you're feeling overwhelmed.
No matter your skin type, it's important to use daily SPF to keep your skin safe and looking its best. However, with oily skin, it's important to take a look at the type of sunscreen you're using to avoid blocking up those pores. Look for sunscreen gels that are labeled oil-free.
If you wear makeup, look for light foundation products that contain SPF for an added bit of protection.
Makeup doesn't cause acne, but with misuse can become a problem. Look for non-comedogenic makeup products, and always apply in light layers. Always be sure to remove every last bit of makeup before going to bed and before working out or heading to the gym.

Findhorn, Kitezh and Ecologia Youth Trust
May 8, 2012 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment
The Findhorn Foundation, are excited to welcome the founder of Kitezh Children's Community, Dmitry Morozov and two key members of the Russian foster family community to visit us here in Scotland in May.
There is a strong connection between the Findhorn Community and Kitezh through Ecologia Youth Trust. Liza Hollingshead, founder of Ecologia, which is based in the Findhorn community, shares the story…
Kitezh was founded in 1992, just thirty years after our own community. It is their 20th Anniversary this year. Dmitry Morozov was a radio journalist with a vision to create a new world and Perestroika was the perfect time to do it. He left a prestigious job in Moscow and moved to the countryside, sharing his vision and an invitation to join him with his listeners on Radio Mayak.
When I met Dmitry in 1993, he and his small group had built one house on a large piece of land, and they had started to take orphaned, abandoned children into their family. I remember him telling me that it is easier to change a child's view of the world, than an adult's. Little did they know what they were committing themselves to! It was not that simple.
Over the past 20 years, through the vehicle of Ecologia Youth Trust, I became more and more involved in supporting this extraordinary experiment. In 1996 we took a group of our Youth Project teenagers to Kitezh where they camped in a field and learned to eat buckwheat and dill! The following year Dmitry brought a small group of children, all orphans, to Findhorn and they visited other parts of Scotland as well. It was an eye opener for everyone!
We gradually started raising money to build more houses for families at Kitezh – at that time a little went a very long way. £2,000 built a whole house! We also took small groups of people from here to visit Kitezh, including Madge Bray, who introduced the whole concept of therapeutic work with children.
This led to a training programme paid for by a UK Know How fund that introduced top class British Social Workers and Educators to Kitezh including David Dean, then principal of Raddery School on the Black Isle. Play Therapy, Art Therapy and a therapeutic approach to healing early childhood trauma became an integral part of the work with children. And simultaneously, the adults became more aware of their own inner development process, encouraged by Dmitry whose apprenticeship with Svyatoslav Roerich in India had set him on a yogic path long before he founded Kitezh.
Dmitry Morozov, Founder of Kitezh Children's Community
Over the years, almost all members of Kitezh Community have come to Findhorn – for Ecovillage Training, Experience Week and conferences. Many Findhorn Community members have also visited Kitezh. In 2009 fourteen Youth Project teenagers travelled to Kitezh and then raised the funds for the Kitezh teens to pay them a return visit, including a week on Erraid. So their participation in the Holistic Centres Gathering entitled the Network of Light is very appropriate. We have been building and strengthening this aspect of the Network of Light over the past 20 years, threads of energy passing back and forth between the two communities, giving and receiving.
In a rare opportunity to hear from the founder of Kitezh, Dmitry will give a talk in the Universal Hall, Findhorn Foundation, on 10th May at 7.30pm. He is joined by Max Anikeev, Director of Kitezh School and a masterful singer of soulful Russian songs, and Zhenya Ryazhskaya, who was here with the Youth Group, and is foster mother, teacher, theatre director among other things. They will also show a short video about the community to give a flavour of the place and the children, many of whom speak excellent English thanks to Andrew Aikman and our many volunteers who spend time there.
It promises to be a wonderful evening of inspiration, music and connection with the Network of Light.

We have recently reported that during superfusion of placental explants, human chorionic gonadotropin secretion is episodic. In the present work we have examined, using the superfusion model, the pattern of secretion of other glycoprotein hormones, pregnancy specific β1 glycoprotein and human placental lactogen, in the first trimester and term placenta. This was done by evaluating the pulsatile pattern by two different computerized programmes. By using different sampling intervals (6-0.5 min) of the effluent, two distinct patterns of hCG secretion were detected in the first trimester: a short one, occurring every 8-9 min and the other every 18-25 min. In contrast, at term the only episodic pattern detected was every 40-50 min, with a low amplitude, 20-30% above baseline, and a declining baseline. In two out of seven placentas, no pulsatility was detected. The secretion of pregnancy specific β1 glycoprotein was pulsatile, occuring every 14-15 min in the first trimester and every 6-7 min at term. Finally, the secretion of human placental lactogen at term was not pulsatile. The levels of this glycoprotein in the first trimester placenta were below detection limits. In conclusion, the patterns of the three glycopoproteins during superfusion are different, suggesting different paracrine/autocrine control mechanisms. The dynamic superfusion model also enables identification of thus far not reported gestational age-dependent differences in the secretion pattern of hCG and pregnancy specific β1 glycoprotein.

Home > Monthly Activity > Jo the Joker > Striking or Schooling?
An interesting article has been written by David Reed, saying that Activism is more important than grades.
This Friday there was another large-scale school climate strike, following the one last month.
Adults were secretly thrilled by children coming to call action on climate change and even wishing they had done it themselves in their younger years.
However, the more disapproving comments have come from Geoff Barton (Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders) and Toby Young (The Free School Evangelist) who both seem to have quite missed the point. Surely children engaging on important issues such as this, are showing how educated and driven they really are?
Maybe the strikes are an indication of how well the children are being educated in the schools. If the children are unaware about climate change, then the teaching is failing.
The Department of Education has been very keen to push the importance of promoting 'character' in schools. So alongside formal learning, children are encouraged to develop traits such as courage, and determination so they can thrive in adult life.
The education sector has been extremely supportive for the last 6 years with a government backed campaign to promote social action in schools in order to build these characterful traits.
Practical action can be used to change social attitudes. Motivation is a great trait to have and this generation of children really care about social issues, more than any previous one.
David Reed is a director of Generation Change, a charity that promotes youth social action in the UK.

You've just found what might be your dream house. The only problem is that it's being sold directly by the owner who is working without a real estate agent. The question, then, is this: Is being a "For Sale By Owner" home a safe move?
There is no one answer. When you buy a house directly from a seller, you might save money. The seller doesn't have to pay the standard commission of 5 percent of the home's sales price. This means that the seller might be more willing to sell the home for a lower asking price.
However, there are risks involved in for-sale-by-owner purchases. Sellers who don't work with real estate professionals often overvalue the worth of their homes. This means that they'll set their initial asking prices too high. If you buy one of these homes, you might end up overpaying.
Even more dangerous, though, is the risk of buying a home that has serious problems that aren't disclosed. Real estate agents know when they take a listing that they have to disclose certain facts. If the home's basement floods, for instance, sellers are required by law to disclose this fact. If the house has lead paint, sellers must disclose this. And if the house suffered termite damage in the past, sellers need to disclose this, too.
When a home is being offered for sale by owner, the sellers often fail to disclose these important flaws. It's not that sellers are trying to lie. They often have no idea that they are required to disclose this information. When you buy the house, then, you might inherit some pricey problems. It isn't cheap, for instance, to waterproof a leaky basement.
Buying a house directly from a seller might be a way to get a good price for a home. But it might also lead you to some expensive repairs.


MacArthur Foundation reveals 2010 "genius grants"
David Simon, creator of the HBO television series "The Wire," is among 23 recipients of this year's MacArthur Foundation "genius grants" -- news that left him with what he described as "a vague sense of guilt."
Simon's guilt stemmed from already being amply funded in an industry that's "a little bit recession-proof," he said. Still, the award's prestige will go far with network executives. While critically acclaimed, Simon's dissection of urban problems in "The Wire" and more recently "Treme" hasn't yet scored Emmys or high Nielsen ratings.
MacArthur winners don't need to tell anyone how they'll spend the grant money. There are no reporting requirements.
"We could spend it all on cake," joked theater director David Cromer, one of this year's recipients. Cromer, known for staging American classics like "Our Town," said he wasn't ready to discuss what he may attempt with the grant's support. But he has some non-cake ideas.
"It purchases you freedom," Cromer said. "I can do things now that aren't necessarily going to generate an income."
That's exactly what the foundation has in mind. Bob Gallucci, the foundation's president, called the grants "an investment in people who have already done extraordinary things." There have been 828 MacArthur Fellows, including this year's winners.
"We're hoping not only that they'll do extraordinary things in the future, but that this fellowship will make that somewhat more likely," Gallucci said.
"I have already begun making minor plans on band expeditions to Senegal to study Senegalese drumming, or bringing our music down to perform in rural parts of America, or to simply create new collaborations with artists in other fields, or begin a series of recordings made on the old format of Edison wax cylinders," he said. "It's all in play now."
None of the winners is from New Orleans, but the Big Easy exerts a strong pull on the 2010 grantees. Simon's newest HBO series "Treme" is about residents of post-Katrina New Orleans. Cromer recently revived Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire," set in New Orleans, to great praise.
And Shannon Lee Dawdy, an anthropologist and archaeologist from the University of Chicago, has studied New Orleans since 1994. After Hurricane Katrina, she worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state of Louisiana to make sure recovery efforts respected the city's archaeological heritage.
She regrets she hasn't been able to save Holt Cemetery, a potter's field where homemade plot markers were washed away by the post-Katrina flooding.
"I would like to work with the local community to preserve living traditions and the site itself," Dawdy said, and the MacArthur grant may help. "It might mean that I'm able take things I've long wished to do, things in the 'wouldn't it be nice?' category, and make that actually happen magically."
Receiving word of the MacArthur was "like receiving a phone call from the Greek gods," Dawdy said, because "someone you can't see is pulling the strings of your fate."
Winners have no idea they've been nominated. Nominators are pledged to secrecy.
There's "nothing more fun" than informing the winners, Gallucci said. He broke the news to four grantees this year, he said, first making sure they weren't driving or holding a baby.
"Right now I teach full time. I can relieve my schedule to be a teacher trainer. If I have an idea that's exciting or interesting, I can try it," he said.
Simon, the HBO producer, said his wife would like to thank the foundation for "five years of fresh material." The morning after she heard the news, Simon's wife, best-selling novelist Laura Lippman, told him, "Hey Genius, you forgot to take the trash out last night."

The model for this piece was Lillith, my scarlet macaw and apple of my eye.
I was looking to make something nice and pretty without being too complex.
I have always wanted to have a seahorse as a pet. They're such fascinating little creatures.
I love the way the series of three sizes of Garnet gemstones along the side really take this piece above the norm to classic in style.
I love the way the series of white quatz gemstones along the side really take this piece above the norm to classic in style.
I really like the repeat of the pattern being circle, too. A circular hole in a circle covered with circles.

I feel the need; the need for speed. I also feel the need to stream Top Gun.
Tom Cruise's classic 1986 action film is back in the news after the release of the trailer for Top Gun 2 aka Top Gun: Maverick. A box office hit that helped launched the careers of Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards, Top Gun is an iconic, highly quotable (That's right! Ice… man. I am dangerous) classic. From shirtless volleyball scenes to memorable declarations of love to a true banger of a soundtrack, Top Gun is a one-of-a-kind cinematic staple of the '80s.

Poll: What Are the Best Anime of Fall 2013?

Anime Review

TAY Classic
Hey all you TAYers, Ani-TAYers, and members of the Ani-Club out there. Richard here from Kotaku East and I need your help again.
We are nearing the halfway point of the Fall 2013 anime season. Like in the spring and summer, I am planning to do an article on the anime you should be watching this season. Last season, I asked everyone at TAY to vote on the anime I should be watching. It was amazingly helpful. Thank you guys a lot for your votes. It really gave me a good idea of the anime people cared about and turned me on to a lot of stuff I would have otherwise missed.
The Five Anime of Summer 2013 You Should Be Watching
When the summer 2013 anime season started early last month, I told you a little bit about each…
For last season I ended up watching 12 anime series (of the 36 that were airing). It was a lot but I got a great cross section of the different genres and didn't seem to miss any of the popular releases.
This season, however, there are 49 (!) new anime on Japanese TV. I hope to narrow it down to 12 titles to watch for the article and subsequent reviews like I did last season, but other than the small handful that caught my attention right off, I have no idea where to start.
Your Complete Fall 2013 Anime Guide
As we continue through October, we have come to the end of the summer season and are beginning the…
That's where you all come in. Please vote bellow and tell me which shows I should watch before I write this season's "must see" article.
You don't even have to have watched them, really. If you have seen the trailer and think it looks interesting, that is enough for a vote. Vote for as many of them as you want—not just one. And please feel free to tell me why you chose the shows you did in the comments below (this really helps).
So vote away and show me what you think are the best anime of the fall 2013 season!
