Antony Gormley - 0, 1, 3, 150, 35 000, 25 000, 40 000, 190 000, Many, All.
For Hepworth, ideas in art mean responsibilities for both the artist and spectator: "Vision is not sight - it is the perception of the mind". Her text, 'Sculpture', also drew attention to the difference between analytical action and the physical fact of seeing. This is another reason why Gormley's sculpture needs to be seen in terms of cognitive action, even if the artist himself has said his work "is to make a place, free from knowledge, free from history, free from nationality to be experienced freely."  Hepworth is empirically close to the phenomenology developed by Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the post war period. When Gormley made Planets, for the forecourt of the British Library, he said he wanted "to celebrate the body and its dependency on matter within the context of this repository for the mind. It is a tribute to independent creative thinking". That political- epistemological operation qualifies and particularises Gormley's production.
For the artist, the body cast in sculpture is a potential point of fusion between sensation and intelligence, making it "a point of potential, a point of power".  Sculpture therefore becomes the "perfect shelter for the body". Politically, the potential dislocator of art  has been announced by Clark (Baba Antropofágica, Cabeça Coletiva and other works), and renovated by Gormley(in Field, for example). In stating that sculpture is a testament to a 'lived moment' that has been transformed from its flesh and "mortality into another time zone",  Gormley could be seen as approaching the notions of corps vécu developed through Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. The French philosopher's L'Oeil et L'Esprit,  which also quotes PaulValéry ('la peinture apporte son corps'), could be applied to the sculpture of Giacometti or Gormley: "it is by lending his body to the world that the painter changes the world into painting"  or, in this case, into sculpture.
Antony Gormley's sculpture inscribes 'initial lines of force' to organise the sculptural field and propitiate the inscription of experience. His attitude meets that which Jacques Lacan was looking for, is something he saw materialised through the field developed by Claude Lévi-Strauss in La Pensée Sauvage. "Before any experience", Lacan observed in this context, "even before the collective experiences that can only be related to social needs are inscribed, something organises this field, inscribing the initial lines of force upon it".  Lévi-Strauss argues that totemic truth - with its appearance (and this does not go against what is done in Gormley's work) - is the primary classifying function. The anthropologist further argues that the savage thought is totalising and that the mythological reason operates with perceptions and concepts. In La Pensée Sauvage, games appear as disjunctive experiences for individuals. In contrast, the sculpture of Antony Gormley, like rituals discussed by Levi-Strauss in the chapter La science du concret, sets a conjunctive experience between the artist and the viewer. Occasionally, Gormley works within the social fabric of Otherness.
"India helped me value 'being ' itself - not thinking and doing, just being. By focusing the attention on the body through Vipassana meditation (which I studied on and off for two or three years), I experienced consciousness at the centre of a transitive field of energy in which the 'me' of the ordering mind was expelled".  The artist's sculpture is a point of union between the external and sensorial world, of the imaginary and the metaphysical. Each sculpture is a knot in a spiritual cross thread, where the etymological root of the term religion, in addition to its more remote Latin origin, lies in the French religare (or bind).
In his method, Antony Gormley takes formal, geometrical or abstract structures and combines their meaning. His work is, at times, similar to the neo-concrete strategies of Clark, Oiticica and Lygia Pape in recovering subjectivity, whether the artist's or the public's, in experimentation and perceptive processes of geometrical and topological structures. QUANTUM CLOUD (2000) is a 30 metre tall sculpture, set on a pontoon close to a riverbank. The first impression is that it is made up of random tetrahedrons. Chaos theory and fractal growth techniques were used to create the steel elements that simulate the physical structure of clouds. Nevertheless, a closer look reveals a central density that, like the presence of a tornado , corresponds to the human form. This relationship with the fleetingness of the cloud form and the coming to be of man, the relationship between the conjectural reasoning of recognising the shapes of objects in clouds (see Roger Caillois on this point)  and the mutability of being, is an issue in Gormley's sculpture that finds echoes in the sculptor, Roni Horn's, photographic installation CLOWD AND CLOUN (BLUE). The semantic questions in Horn's visual system lead to paradoxes involving the performative character of the evanescent in cloud and clown movements, and the playing with homophones and switching letters in CLOWD AND CLOUN. QUANTUM CLOUD awakens perception. Between the artist (or his presence in the sculpture) and the spectator, there is a second 'entity' covering an articulation of the look.
In the corpus of his work, Gormley introduces and justifies the presence of tripartite structures: "Three is the beginning of infinity. The lowest possible number with which a universal meaning is adumbrated".  For the sculptor, the meaning of the gap now unfolds. Gormley has developed a concrete logic of being, through unexpectedly enigmatic pieces such as FRUITS OF THE EARTH (1978-9), LAND, SEA AND AIR I (1977-1979), and THREE BODIES (1981). They are triadic sculptures, formed by three articulated volumes spread around the ground. These trios seem definitively set in time. Signified and signifiers in the field have something similar to the dialogue of the two spheres in Hepworth's 1936 sculpture.
The history of art shows us various groups of three figures, from the holy trinity to the THREE GRACES of Canova and Thorvaldsen. In Cuzco nos in the Andes, some colonial painters depicted the three Persons of the Holy Trinity as the same image of the Father. The triadic situation of Rodin's SHADES in GATES OF HELL is similar, with the same figure appearing three times. For Rosalind Krauss, Rodin followed the line of opacity and self-reference: "The SHADES do not form with each other a relationship that seems capable of signification, of creating a sign that is transparent to its meaning".  In various cases, three different volumes are confronted in Gormley's sculpture and seem frozen by logical nonsense. They come across an increasing impasse in an apparently incongruous visual field. What breaks the silence between the pieces and creates dialogue, qualitatively altering the sense of distance and interrupting the semantic immobility of the whole, is the hermeneutic and perceptual action of the spectator. Language appears in the cracks that break the gaps.
The trios of Gormley lead to the semiotics of Peirce, which explores a triadic division and ideas of Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness. In his youth, the linguist discussed this division through the pronouns I, it and thou. His work states that a triadic relationship cannot be expressed by a dual relationship only. . "Thirdness", Peirce argues, "is the characteristic of an object that is incarnate in itself - the Being-Between or Mediation in its simplest and most rudimentary form".  Peirce's Theory of Signs discusses the Third as Symbol.  "Thirdness, for me, is only a synonym for Representation [...] It can now be said that a general operating principle in the real world has something of Representation and Symbol by nature, because its modus operandi is the same as that through which words produce their physical effects".  Gormley's sculpture uses this intellectual mediation to produce physical facts re-qualified through the projection of the signified.
150, 35 000, 25 000, 40 000 or 190 000.
In FIELD, Gormley asked people to touch the earth. Forty people had to "make an equivalent of themselves, but in a size that would fit in their hands. [...] It was also the moment when the clay became conscious".  The role of the artist is to be the catalyst of this political economy of culture. Gormley comes closer to the cannibalistic proposition of relations of otherness set up by Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica. Despite being less close to the oblique shamanism of Joseph Beuys, Gormley nonetheless debates the meaning of the latter's social sculpture: "The political potential of art is that it recognizes the value of individual growth - what Beuys called 'creative capital' - and this has nothing to do with economics. The only revolution that is going to work is an interior one." The minimal difference between the thousands of figures in the various versions of FIELD is a sign of desire. Each distinction coincides with the unique, individualised experience of corps vécu in which doing is making a self-portrait. Gormley is fascinated by seeing the act of transforming hands into a pattern and mould from which comes a form: "What excites me is the potential of sculpture and inert material to produce energy... the degree to which the work displays inertia is the degree to which the audience is invited to interact with it".  Therefore, a sculpture including the human figure can be called Matter.
Marx argues that "in its form of value, merchandise conserves not the slightest trace of the value of its first use, nor of the particular useful work which gave it origin".  In his article 'Marx et l'Inscription du Travail', J.-J. Goux establishes analogical writing/work, sense/value relationships.  Artists like Gormley, Antonio Dias and Cildo Meireles reject the complicity between the logocentricity and fetishism of money and merchandise. Dias reveals the incongruities of the market and the place of a work of art within in it, exhibiting working tools in his THE ILLUSTRATION OF ART. Made in Nepal, his TOOL AND WORK (1977) presents two hands: one being his and the other belonging to Kul Bahadur , the artisan who produced the paper with him. Through this work with artisans in Nepal, Dias, like Gormley, act s within the sphere of production to debate financial and economic values, as well as the place of the artist.
collective body). For him, the volunteers, with ages ranging from two to eighty-five years old, brought "an energy that grew as the piece grew. Just as the work questions the limits of our bodies, so the participants were confronted by, and in many cases overcame, their own boundaries".
The vast multitude of terracotta figures packed into the space seems to have come out of a figurative frenzy. In other works by Gormley, such as DOMAIN FIELD, dozens of visually indistinct metal structures cover the space: it seems like dissolution. Gormley faces a question from Heidegger: what possibilities are there today for sculpture to shelter states of being? QUANTUM CLOUD and DOMAIN FIELD are formally and conceptually close to the graphic diagram of the 'totemic operator' in Levi-Strauss' 'La Pensée Sauvage': a geometrical structure, drawn on a plane, receives the inscription of the signified. Here the species and the individual find a relative place.
Far from a metrological breakdown that might be reduced to the positivism of statistics, the groups organised by Gormley's sculpture have a "convivial dimension",  even when the apparently excessive proliferation threatens to go beyond the limit. In his work, the attempt to organise a lot is done through rows, by order of size (ONE APPLE) or piled up (SEED IV), or founding fluid mechanics for the look. The antithetical CRITICAL MASS connects the state of abandonment of individuals to the idiosyncrasies of the species: demographic explosion, mass destruction, war, violence and other forms of cruelty. In MISSÃO/MISSÕES (HOW TO BUILD CATHEDRALS), Cildo Meireles produces apparently incommensurate excess by making a 'cathedral' floor using 600 000 centavo coins. It is the ideological ground of the symbolic war and the economic movement of the Conquest and catechism of colonial America. In Meireles' work, excess transforms fragility into force, the forbidden into possibility. Excess in FIELD or DOMAIN FIELD finds balance between the I and the Other because it constitutes a possibility of individualization - of each Other - through Gormley's propositions. For him, "Art has to deal with human situations; personal, political, and social - within them it can open up a space for reorientation".  A feeble ontology, argues Gianni Vattimo in his interpretation of Heidegger, implied even in confronting 'prophetic illuminations'. For Vattimo, after taking a position regarding the spoils of the history of the winners as defined by Walter Benjamin, the understanding of the excluded and the experience of differences would be the basis of the being's preparation for an 'ultrametaphysical' humanity.  Many of Gormley's works are completed by Others and in that, he believes, lies part of its potential as a type of 'self-generating energy in which people could celebrate their differences. For some it was difficult at first to accept that differences were tolerable, a brick is judged by its conformity to a standard".  His sculpture, therefore, could only be a proliferation of the unique. Each part is the complete whole, above all, through being singular and 1 of 150, 35000,25 000, 40 000 or 190 000.

Q: How to create tuple with a loop in python I want to create this tuple:
a=(1,1,1),(2,2,2),(3,3,3),(4,4,4),(5,5,5),(6,6,6),(7,7,7),(8,8,8),(9,9,9)

I tried with this
a=1,1,1
for i in range (2,10):
    a=a,(i,i,i)

However it creates a tuple inside other tuple in each iteration.
Thank you

A: itertools.repeat can also be used here:
>>> from itertools import repeat
>>> [tuple(repeat(i, 3)) for i in range(1, 10)]
[(1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3), (4, 4, 4), (5, 5, 5), (6, 6, 6), (7, 7, 7), (8, 8, 8), (9, 9, 9)]

If you want the final result to be in a tuple of tuples instead of a list of tuples, you can wrap tuple again:
>>> tuple(tuple(repeat(i, 3)) for i in range(1, 10))
((1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3), (4, 4, 4), (5, 5, 5), (6, 6, 6), (7, 7, 7), (8, 8, 8), (9, 9, 9))

A: A tuple is an immutable list. This means that, once you create a tuple, it cannot be modified. Read more about tuples and other sequential data types here.

So, if you really need to change a tuple during run time:

*

*Convert the tuple into a list

*Make the necessary changes to the list

*Convert the list back to a tuple

or

*

*Create a list

*Modify the list

*Convert the list into a tuple

So, in your case:
a = []
for i in range (1,10):
    a.append((i,i,i))
a = tuple(a)
print a

A: If I were to imitate something like this, I would have done it in the following way:
a = tuple((n,n,n) for n in range(1,10))
print(a)

#((1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3), (4, 4, 4), (5, 5, 5), (6, 6, 6), (7, 7, 7), (8, 8, 8), (9, 9, 9))

This is the most simple and pythonic way to do this specific job.

A: Use an extra comma in your tuples, and just join:
a = ((1,1,1),)
for i in range(2,10):
    a = a + ((i,i,i),)

Edit: Adapting juanpa.arrivillaga's comment, if you want to stick with a loop, this is the right solution:
a = [(1,1,1)]
for i in range (2,10):
    a.append((i,i,i))
a = tuple(a)

A: In this case, you can create it without having to use a loop.
a = tuple((i,)*3 for i in range(1, 10))

A: A little experimentation got this working. I guess you need a comma after the tuple in a to convince python it is a tuple.
a = ((1,1,1),)
for i in range(2, 10):
  a = a + ((i,i,i),)

print(a)

Home / Banking / Busted Billionaires: How Iceland Recovered by Defaulting
Busted Billionaires: How Iceland Recovered by Defaulting
Iceland, in 2009, let its banks default on foreign depositors. The nation suffered a brief recession. Now it is growing. Europe is in recession.
Default pays off.
The nation had six multi-billionaires in 2007. Now it has none. The lone survivor has left the country. He used to have $6 billion. He lost $5 billion. The other five lost all or most of their money.
It looked so easy in 2007. It looks so stupid today.
Inflation makes very rich people. Popped bubbles bring them back to earth, fast.
Ireland played by the bankers' rules. The government bailed out the big banks. It is still mired in recession. Its people are permanently burdened with massive government debt — unless Ireland's government defaults (It will.)
Iceland did not play by the bankers' rules. Its recession is over, at least for now.
The experts in finance pretend Iceland isn't there. It did better than the Eurozone nations have done. It refused to bail out the bankers. The idea that a nation can do well by not bailing out bankers is anathema in places of influence. In the view of bankers, whose ideas prevail, it is the first responsibility of all politicians to bail out big banks.
Today, the Parliament of Cyprus may decide to follow Iceland's lead. The Eurocrats are wetting their Depends in fear. They keep issuing statements that none of this is relevant, that Cyprus is unique, that the contagion will not spread.
How do they know? They thought that the Parliament of Cypress would roll over and play dead. It didn't.
When governments fail to back up big bankers from the results of their stupidity, billionaires lose money. The taxpayers don't.

Bluesunny says:
Mark Twain "The problem with common sense is that is not common" Iceland used common sense and let the banks fail. The U.S. and other nations not so much. Of course, common sense does not fit into a corrupt governments agenda. Kudos to Iceland.
Huapakechi says:
"It is well enough that people do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning". Henry Ford
It's more true today than back in his day. Whe some banks are "Too big to prosecute", look for the criminal class to concentrate their efforts in the banking "industry".

Burdened Taxpayer says:
We bailed out GM and now our cars are made in China and the workers have retired. The Corporate Exectives bought themselves their own Privat lear Jets at our expense, not to mentions a hefty bonus. Solarium is gone, but the bail out is on us.Who got the money? Not the Tax payer, cause before the bail out it was agreed to that they had a guaranteed loan and would not have to pay back, but the Taxpayer does. How is that fair.
Mr. Scott says:
Burdened, that is just crazy talk. I don't like the GM bailout any more than you do, but our cars are now made in China? Please. In my city GM is expanding one of its plants to bring production back from Canada, and they have added a shift at the other to keep up with demand. The Romney campaign gaffe about Jeeps being made in China and sold here was proven wrong as well. You are terribly misinformed, I'm afraid.
With the old saying, "money is the root of all evil" I would add to it, "and the banks are the soil" is an understatement, just who do all the foolish folks out there think the "Fed is? (clue)it has nothing to do with our goverment, but a bunch of the greediest banks in the world! why do we as the taxpayers alow the gov. to loan OUR $$$ to the banks for almost nothing, and then alow the banks to rape us? just to borrow it back? Mr. Ford was correct! and to make matters even worst, when the banks make a mistake, and loan to folks that default, and then it catches up with them, we bail them out?
Jack Marteville says:
I am afraid that you are wrong; MOST (70%) of GM cars are built outside of the United States. Please don't take my word for it, check it out. This bailout bailed the labor unions, with taxpayers money. It will not stop GM from eventually collapsing in the United States, and eventually there will no longer be auto production in the USA because labor rates are simply uncompetitive.
Aleks says:
GM and Chrysler should have both been left to the bankruptcy courts, GM eventually did, Fiat took Chrysler and made it into a wonderful company again (most growth in manufacturing occurring at plants in Indiana.)
Jeeps are being made in China, but only for sale in China. http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/blog/oh-my-polit…
Technically Jeeps are being made in China, but so long as they aren't being repatriated to the USA people won't care.
Companies like GM, Ford, Chrysler, Caterpillar, John Deere are bringing plants back to the USA largely because of a cheaper cost of production (natural gas/electric.) However they are concentrating in right-to-work states (except when they choose to build additions on plants.)
I'm looking forward to America's default. I am curious how a default will play out with the USA considering our differences with Iceland. The reserve currency obviously, but also the size of the welfare state, and the size of the bureaucracy for that matter.
lilbear68 says:
labor rates not competitive? the reality is that the avg uaw worker here in the us makes about 15-20/hr for making the identical car that when made in germany the auto workers there in germany make 60+/hr
Actually, the CORRECT quote is the LOVE on money is the root of all evil. Some translations say the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.


A few days ago, on a subway to downtown, I heard two young bright, polished school students, playing a game based on three words, "getting rid of.": getting rid of advertising commercials, getting rid of personal tensions, then getting rid of politicians. Suddenly an elderly man spoke up saying "No, no, we need politicians." I was getting up to go to the doorway and laughed as I kidded the younger one: "You must mean getting rid of Trump?" The kids laughed and the elderly man joined in nodding and keeping it up until I got off the subway and we waved a goodwill goodbye. Then I walked down Yonge Street, confessing to myself that, while I laughed, I actually meant it. I had an interview to do, but on my way back I did wonder if, somehow, sometime, somewhere, a door could be opened and Trump would have to leave because somebody promised him sixteen girlfriends.
Three or four days later, I suddenly find Canada in an uproar for justifiable reason: the ignorance of Donald Trump toward one of our finest Prime Ministers, Justin Trudeau. He was not in any confrontation. He was at his home in Ottawa, but all the while the crude and rude Donald Trump was creating insults in a wide open unprecedented verbal assault for absolutely no reason, none whatsoever, other than, of course, exploiting him pragmatically as the target that showed off his toughness to a remote but evil immoral dictator, Kim Jong Un, in North Korea. Hence he took the outrageous path of crude insults, raw ignorance, dreadful rudeness, and all for one reason: they reveal a Trump toughness that might help his goals so that when he goes to show Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, he can reveals his almost semi- fascistic attitude, his egotistical, vain, ugly, deformed misrepresentation of a Prime Minister, while ideally our own PM is a true gentleman. (Just compare Mr. Trudeau with Trump and you know what I mean.) I find on the front page, that Trump's aides – they must be amoral flunkies – threw dishwater insults at our Prime Minister for an obvious reason: the crude Donald Trump, was trying on this trip to show how tough a bully he is, to one of the world's cruel dictators, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. If there ever was a fair minded gentleman it's our Prime Minister in this incident. The morning's papers lately have reported that when Justin Trudeau was asked about the dreadful and ugly and untrue allegations, he said quietly and mannerly that what "truly matters" is the accomplishments of the G7. What a gentleman.
From time to time, often in group conversations, the subject of recent Presidential morality and privilege, comes up: Obama with quite modest parenting, Trump with a high privilege family background. Has the privilege been the formation of Trump's vain and coarse sense of privilege? Is that the reason? A few year ago an apparently young journalist asked him what his motives were, as he thought of seeking the Presidency. His reply: "There's nobody bigger or better at the military that I am." Could you imagine Obama saying that? Or Roosevelt? Or Carter? Or Pearson or Diefenbaker? I don't know whether to think of Trump with distain or with sympathy for his inherent rudeness. A psychologist would tell you he may not be able to help it. Take a moment and imagine what our current Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau — a genuine gracious gentleman — would say if a prominent man treated him with the rough verbal attitude. You and I know: He'd smile and quietly change the conversation. I sense he's that kind of man, a person with very good manners and thereby he puts up with poor manners by others.

Scientists develop low-cost tsunami warning system that could help prevent future deaths

Map: Adelaide 5000
Adelaide scientists say they have successfully tested a simple, low-cost tsunami warning system in small villages in Vanuatu that could help save lives in regions vulnerable to natural disasters.
Scientists say they have proven a new tsunami warning technology works
The system is 100 times cheaper than current warning systems, scientist says
It could be rolled out by the end of 2019 if funding is received
The system — which uses small receivers connected to airhorns — is said to be about 100 times cheaper than existing warning systems when ongoing costs are taken into account.
Some tsunami warnings could not be delivered during last month's disaster in Indonesia that killed more than 1,300 people — and displaced hundreds of thousands more — because of damage to mobile networks.
Dr Paul Gardner-Stephen from Flinders University said the new technology did not involve large equipment that would likely to be damaged in a storm and his team had successfully tested it last month.
"We're at the point now where we have proven all of the key pieces of the technology. What we need to do now, funding permitting, and this is always a challenge with these things, but we could have the prototype units ready for a pilot by the middle of 2019," he said.
How does this system work?

Dr Gardner-Stephen explained that regular tsunami warning systems use towers that are expensive to buy, maintain, and require expert installation so only a small percentage of vulnerable communities have access to them.
He said the new technology used very small and low-cost receivers and did not employ a dish that would require careful calibration.
"What we've done in comparison is make something which is small, its gets a signal by satellite so it doesn't matter what happens to the local cellular network … so we can provide for a village for about $200 instead of $10,000 with an effective tsunami and all-hazard warning system," he said.
"It will also provide the village with a local radio station so that they can get news, weather, information to help to adapt to climate change, food security, water security, all manner of things that are of value to this community."
He said the tsunami alert that had been tested in Vanuatu used a siren, which could be something as cheap as an airhorn.
"It only needs to be audible within a local village area," he said.
"The old way is quite suitable for large industrialised cities where you want it to be heard for kilometres.
"Whereas in a rural village context in an Indo-Pacific region … we don't need to have a really expensive piece of infrastructure."
Could it help prevent future deaths?

Dr Gardner-Stephen said when a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck near the city of Palu on the central island of Sulawesi in Indonesia last month, the resulting tsunami struck eight minutes later, and killed at least 1,300 people and displaced hundreds of thousands.
He said the earthquake knocked out the phone network so a warning couldn't be sent out to villages.
"And of course in these remote villages … they may not have power to charge their phones so they may be kept off to conserve power except when they need to use them," he said.
"So all these little remote communities that were away from the main population had absolutely no way of getting the alert."
Dr Gardner-Stephen said a pilot of the new technology would cost around $500,000 and a rollout in a country like Vanuatu would probably cost around $2 million.
He said while costs would be significantly lower in the long run, funding was still the "only barrier" holding back a rollout of the technology.
"Our recent work in Vanuatu costs about 1 per cent of the investment required for conventional tsunami warning towers," he said.
"We could potentially be rolling out within that region progressively from around the end of 2019.
"We're not talking a great length of time, we're not even talking a great financial cost to do that, but of course we have to find the partners."

End of an era at Tanjong Pagar
Filed under News
By Zakir Hussain, The Straits Times, 1 Jul 2011.
The Sultan of Johor last night joined Malayan Railway (KTM) staff and a crowd of 2,000 people in a sentimental farewell to mark the closure of Tanjong Pagar Railway Station.
With that came the end of an era in rail travel across Singapore. From today, the trains will start and end their journeys at Woodlands Train Checkpoint in the north, as part of an agreement the two governments reached last year.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday that the resolution of the railway lands issue, a thorn in ties since 1990, marked a 'historic breakthrough in bilateral relations'.

The last train from Tanjong Pagar
On the 30th of June, we will see the last day of operation at the grand old station at Tanjong Pagar. The station, grand not in terms of scale, but in the magnificent style in which it was built, has served Singapore as the southern terminal station for close to eight decades, having been completed in 1932 to provide a city fast growing in economic importance with a station befitting of its status, and being part of a deviation of the railway which had prior to that, run through the Bukit Timah corridor before terminating at Tank Road. With the return of the railway land which has been held on a lease by the successors of the Malayan Railway, Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) and the shift of the southern terminal on the 1st of July, the age of rail travel across Singapore, which has lasted a little over a century, would draw to a close.
Operations at the grand building which has served as the southern terminal of the Malayan Railway since 1932 will cease on 1st July 2011.
In what form the station, which has recently received status as a National Monument, will be conserved following the handover we do not know, but whatever does happen, it would only serve as a reminder of the once working station which had for many years been an oasis of the laid back old world feeling that is missing from the modern Singapore that we have gotten used to. Gone will be the whistles and the drone of the diesel engines, the coming and going of passengers, the popular food outlets and what has become an institution at the railway station, the Habib Book Store and Money Changer. Gone will also be the opportunity to soak up the feel of the mood around the station, and lazily sip away at a cup of tea seated at the station end of the arrival platform. Read more

"I am no one special; just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life; there are no monuments dedicated to me. And my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."
The Notebook stars Ryan Gosling as Noah Calhoun, Rachel McAdams as Allie Hamilton (Noah's true love), James Garner as Duke (Noah at an old age), and Gena Rowlands as Allie Calhoun (Allie at an old age). Based on the book by Nicholas Sparks.
It is commendable that a person should decide what they want and then go after it. It is better to choose a side and then go down fighting for that side.
You should believe in what you do... otherwise, why are you doing it? Know what your goal in life is so you can dedicate yourself to that goal and not look back.
It's good to stop periodically and question your life-direction. Are you spending your time and energy on something worthwhile? Are you living for a valuable cause? Even if you discovered the best way to spend your life, do you possess the fortitude to dedicate yourself entirely to that Way?
"No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
"... But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."
Although this movie wasn't as corny and sappy as I thought it would be, I can't say that I agree with the big hype of this film. Sure I may have teared up at the end. But there was something in my eye, I swear!
I'm sorry but I don't really like this movie, although I thought Ryan Gosling and Rach McAdams are good actors. I guess after reading the reviews, I got my hope high, but the movie to me, is very hallmark-ish.
sho nuff pimp! balls to the wall, baby!

Summary: Simply called a PA, the production assistant is someone assigned to various responsibilities involved in a TV or film production. The work of a personal assistant varies largely depending on a production's budget and requirements. Sometimes, production assistants serve as a go-to person of actors, filmmakers and other important people on a production set.
Duties: Tasks of a production assistant varies from one day to the next. Generally, a PA performs different tasks depending on the current needs of a filmmaker or actor. These tasks may include (but are not limited to) delivering scripts to actors or the director, preparing food and drinks for the crew, fixing actor's dressing room or handling various errands of important crew members on set. The PA may be sent by the producers to pick up equipments, tools, props, emergency equipment replacements and other immediate needs. In some instances, a production assistant would be asked to serve as an "extra" on scenes, help with creating extravagant sets, operate fog machines, clean up after different scenes, and perform various menial tasks.
Education and Training Requirements: There are no formal education requirements for the production assistant and most people consider it as an entry-level position in the industry. Being part of the set of a film provides a hands-on learning of the ropes of the industry. Going to a film school can give you an understanding of the industry and may help you make some connections but does not guarantee entry into the business. Most newly graduate film students work as a production assistant temporarily to gain hands-on experience in the industry.
Knowledge and Skills Requirements: A PA should have a good grasp of the artistic and technical aspects of production, as well as a wide knowledge of the industry itself. It would also be an advantage to take courses in photography, broadcast journalism, and media to learn about cameras and sound equipment, or study art and art history to learn about visual composition, and English to develop communication skills.
Working Conditions: Since most production assistants work with non-union terms, they can be asked to perform tasks from multiple producers. As such, many production assistants work long hours to complete all errands assigned to them. Unglamorous as the PA's work may seem, being part of the production is still the best way to learn about the film and television industries.
Salary: The production assistant's salary depends largely on company, location, industry, experience and benefits, but statistics show that the average pay amounts to $44,000.00.

A mini documentary about Brett King of Orange County California. His company Brett King Design is an up-and-coming custom helmet painting shop that is receiving a lot of attention as of late. His new flavour of designs and his unique style have brought big names to the company. Can polo take this idea of personalisation into our bubble? Are people ready for their unique helmet, apart from just putting your initials and logo on the back? Users can have far more complex colours and graphics applied to their helmet allowing to express their individuality!


outside mirrors, headlights are on DTRL only, can't get highbeams. Engine starts and runs normally. Checked all fuses good. What do all these failures have in common?
Just a stab in the dark: does your car have _two_ fuseboxes? I am sure one of mine has fuses in two separate locations.
Actually I see three; one in the engine compartment, one on drivers side dash and one trunk. All fuses are good, I don't know how to check the relays.
Just to be sure, this will affect the power door lock buttons, power mirror adjusters and power windows also? When I turn off the engine the tail lights stay on for a few minutes as does the air conditioner and light in STC button. Seems like a lot for a steering wheel module to control.
Nearest decent Volvo dealer is 120 miles away so I want to be sure before making the trip. I am assuming it is OK to drive it this way?
Well...today all the buttons work again BUT I have SRS urgent, STC and ABS warnings.

I'm currently using a white plastic MacBook (2GHz, 2GB RAM, 2 external firewire drives for audio files & samples) running Logic 8.02 under 10.5.8, and some songs are maxing out the machine. My "big" projects consist of around 25 tracks, among which may be 5 VIs, though lately I've been bouncing them to conserve processing power.
I was at the Apple Store last week playing with an iMac and a MacPro. Both machines had Logic Pro installed. I played a song by The Killers which consisted of at least 50 tracks, most with multiple plug-ins. While the MacPro's cpu meter barely showed any signs of life, the iMac's never got above 25%. I'm wondering, then, if any of you think I'd see a significant power boost if I upgraded to the iMac. The Guy At The Store said "You bet!" But I'd like to hear a voice or two other than that of The Guy At The Store.
I got an iMac about 3 months ago (2.93Ghz, 4Gb), and I've been pretty happy with it running logic 9. I've had a few errors, typically when recording in Low-latency mode in a busy project -- but that's presumably because I'm going to the internal HD, and it sounds like you're well-covered on that front. And it's great having a 24" screen; I put the arrange window there, and the mixer on an old 20".
But anyway, it is noticeably faster than my 2.0Ghz 2Gb DDR3 aluminum MacBook, although I'm able to routinely work on the same projects on both machines. Will you see a massive difference in performance going to the iMac? Probably not. But it should be significant. As for the Mac Pro, if you're doing this as a hobby, I think you're better saving >$1200, even if it means you have to freeze tracks more often. More money for fun gear!
If you've got one of the later generations of white MacBooks, then you can bump up the RAM to 4GB (older ones went to 3GB, and even older went to 2GB maximum). And you can definitely change the internal hard drive to 7200RPM. Both will improve the overall performance of your computer for relatively cheap compared to buying a new one.
Even if you don't use the internal hard drive for the Logic projects, the constant behind the scenes caching (which only happens on the boot drive) will be improved with a faster hard drive, thus making everything a little snappier. Also, you can get much larger capacity drives nowadays compared to what you likely have in the MacBook now.
I've also had pretty good luck getting performance improvements with a disk optimizing program like iDefrag. It seems to help me a bit, especially if my internal drive is fuller than I'd like it to be. Even if I'm using external drives to record audio to, the internal drive has to hop around quite a bit.
This may be a somewhat controversial route, as supposedly the MacOS optimizes the mac startup drive somewhat automatically, I don't know. But I do notice a performance increase with less overload errors after I've optimized my startup drive.


St. Pete Police are investigating a deadly accident that killed one person.

Moving on campus? Come Prepared!
To help you prepare for coming to campus, here's a list of things you might want to consider bringing along with you when you come to campus.
Don't bring all your clothes. Start off with some summer and early fall clothes (be sure to have things for warm and cold weather). Later in the semester, you can usually go home and take your "warm weather" clothes home and bring back the more "wintery" set.
The rooms will always be smaller than you think, and then you'll be surprised by just how much they hold!
approved surge protectors are acceptable for use.
– Microwaves – Centennial, Grasso, & Pinney have microwaves provided in each room/suite. Midtown only permits microwaves as part of the Microfridge units, but microwaves are available in floor lounges and/or kitchen areas.
All computers are connected through WCSU's network using an Ethernet card. Please make sure your computer has one otherwise you will not be able to access the internet from your residence hall room/apartment. Our residence halls have wireless and wired access.


Citizens Advice St Helens and MPs Conor McGinn and Marie Rimmer are working together to raise awareness of the roll out of Universal credit in July for new claimants.
Universal Credit will eventually replace Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance and Working Tax Credit.
At present the roll out in St Helens will affect new claimants only with legacy claims due to move over in the next few years.
On the 17th July from 10am-3pm, staff from Citizens Advice and both of the MPs' offices are holding an information event in Church Square where you will be able to get advice and information on what information you will need to claim, evidence you may be required to provide and advice should you require assistance due to hardship.
Last weekend the borough of St Helens welcomed a large delegation from our twin city of Stuttgart and I was happy to join with them as we celebrated together the strong ties, forged at the end of the Second World War and still going strong 70 years later.
In a series of events including a food and drink festival, arts exhibition and the opportunity for the Mayor and politicians from Stuttgart to rededicate us all to the longstanding friendship and to work together to strengthen those bonds.
I had the opportunity only recently to speak at the Council of Europe about the importance of our twinning, and it was a pleasure to welcome Deputy Mayor Dr Martin Schairer and the delegation here to my constituency. To underline the depth of our relationship the group contained representatives of schools, arts, businesses and the players of TSV Uhlbach who played a match against St Helens Town FC.
I had a great time at Ruskin Drive for the annual St Helens sports festival which attracted 5,000 pupils over the 2 days in the sun.
The sporting event was established in 2011 to mark the count down to the London Olympics only stopping in 2016 to welcome a £3.6 million redevelopment. Two years on, the event offered a chance to reflect on how sport contributes to the borough's culture and how important it is to celebrate healthy lifestyles.
There was a range of sport to enjoy ranging from football to tennis. Also, they hosted the Lancashire Inter League Group cricket match between Liverpool Competition U14s and Greater Manchester Cricket League U14s on the Sunday.
It is important that we continue to fund sporting activities and I would like to thank the Council's sports development team, the clubs based at Ruskin Drive and across the borough who use their time to promote sport in the local area.
The Garswood & Seneley Green Carnival this year was yet again a great success.
I would like to thank Councillor Sue Murphy for organising the carnival and all the volunteers who were involved in making the event so enjoyable.
Furthermore, I'd also like to thank Garswood Primary School for hosting the event.
The carnival offered a variety of stalls and events which were enjoyed by all – and the sunshine along with the crowning of the annual Rose Queen made it a great day.
The annual event brings the local community together – well done to all involved.


"Honeymoon" is a 2014 horror movie directed by Leigh Janiak, Written by Phil Graziadei & Leigh Janiak and, produced by Patrick Baker & Esme Howard. It stars Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones) and Harry Treadaway (Penny Dreadful) as a newly wedded couple who encounter several bizarre events while away on their honeymoon.
Bea (Rose Leslie) and Paul (Harry Treadaway) decides to go to a remote Cabin in the forest for their honeymoon. A couple of nights into their getaway, Bea encounters a childhood friend but something seems strange about his relationship with his wife. That night, Paul awakens to find Bea missing. He finds her in the forest, she claims she was sleep walking. Following the incident, Bea starts having memory loss and a strange reaction to a supposed insect bite which leads to a series of horror.
Honeymoon was a very promising horror flick, one that I truly enjoyed from the beginning to almost the ending… almost because the ending was a bit of a let down for me. I was left hanging, disappointed and wanting something much more worthy of an ending for such an amazing buildup.
To sum it up, the ending made me feel like they ran out of ideas to conclude the story on what was really happening… or worried it might bear too much resemblance (which it indirectly did) to Robin Cook's "Invasion" meets "Species". Sadly they decided to come up with a last minute ending which was delivered poorly. With that being said, I definitely enjoyed the pacing and setting of Honeymoon much more.
Every actor was fantastic in this movie. They all brought their A game and gave such a natural vibe, I didn't feel like I was watching actors "act" out a movie for me. It had a nice drama setting into series of havoc like "The Babadook" and "The Invitation". If this is the new style to millennial horror then I am loving it 100%.
There were some scenes that were left hanging. Some stories started but were never concluded. It made me feel like they shouldn't have dug into those in the first place.
Overall, I was satisfied with "Honeymoon" and definitely recommend it for a one time watch!
site-building then i suggest him/her to pay a visit this weblog, Keep up the nice work.
