Amazing Plan for Transformation Map
2009-10-16 05:00:00 After about two months on the public housing beat, I got frustrated. I walked to Walgreens, bought a city map and some stick-on colored labels. I sat down on my living room floor and spent an afternoon creating a map of the city's public housing - where everything is, what the former and current name is and what's been done there. I carry that map with me in my reporting bag because it's so useful. But now, you can see a map too, thanks to University of Chicago graduate student, photographer and all-around interesting person David Schalliol. Schalliol made a google map of the Plan For Transformation. It has the location of all the family developments (blue dots), the mixed-income...

Mayer.The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held Thursday, May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of 1927 and 1928.

5 Amazing Twitter Bots For Gtalk Fans!
2009-09-17 06:33:00 I have been a huge fan of the IM world. It has sped up and simplified our way of communication in such a way that even the long distance between Kolkata and California seems so small. Personally I have been a big addict of the legendary Google Chat. You can do lot of interesting stuff with Google Talk like Chat with friends and colleagues, get alert notifications, save bookmarks to Delicious, manage web calendars, set reminders, write blogs, and so on. Such features can be easily integrated into Google Talk through ‘bots’ which, in simple English, are like virtual friends who are online 24×7 and will always respond with a smile to your questions or requests. The bots work on platforms like Jabber and are coded to generate automatic response to any user query. After WATBlog reviewed 5 best Twitter clients, I thought of compiling a list of 5 best Twitter bots for Google Talk enthusiasts. (P.S.: These will work only for Gtalk) According to ease of use and features available I h...

Made from 100 tons of pet bottles that are pressed into bales, this green structure is built in Rotterdam, Netherlands. This one of a kind structure may not be erected already but the inspiration of building structures that make use of the possible harm to the environment we produce each day particularly the plastic bottles is still there and influenced many future and present designers and architects. Various green projects are already created following the trash temple including the watershed, plastic boat, and the recycled bottle greenhouse.

First Mosque Designed by A Women
2009-09-16 01:28:00 First Mosque Designed by A WomenLast week the Sakirin Mosque opened in Istanbul, Turkey. It?s the first mosque in the country to have an interior designed by a woman, Zeynep Fadillioglu. An interior designer known for jet setting ways, she nonetheless won a commission to redesign the religious structure in Istanbul. She even recruited women to help in the construction. Begun last year, the project was just recently completed. It's a fairly impressive building, subtly blending modern techniques and materials into what might be the world's most conservative design vernacular.Admittedly, I have not been inside a lot of mosques and don?t know much about how light and open space is supposed to work in them, traditionally. I just know that this has a crazy gorgeous interior, with a lovely soaring, open feel to it. It?s got lots of gold in the color scheme, but it manages to be tasteful and elegant, instead of looking like Trump Mosque. The unfinished wood accents contrast nicely. And I ...

It is amazing how much you can learn...
2009-08-02 22:47:00 Anna Quindlen, in her graduation speech turned book, A Short Guide to a Happy Life, writes, “It is amazing how much you can learn in just one year.” Her quote is great advice for learners of all ages. Maintaining openness for discovery from each experience and challenge faced, promotes continuous learning. And, as educators, it is essential to model the idea of continuous learning. Any classroom teacher knows how much is learned just from interactions and experiences with students over the course of a year!To Quindlen’s thought I would add the following: It is amazing how much you can learn from a great teacher in just one year. Embodying what we believe to be true as educators, this statement reminds us what an awesome responsibility we have! Every day in every classroom of the Bolton Public Schools, we are shaping a generation of learners. The community of Bolton is fortunate to have a dedicated group of adults who come to together each year and provide an education with a f...

There are multiple posts detailing different aspects of the festival from 2006, 2007 and 2008. The Vegetarian Festival is probably my favourite event in Phuket. The face-piercing processions, the food, the mystical rituals at the shrines... this is a special time of year. The festival has been a part of Phuket's culture since 1825. It's no show, it's not made up for the tourists and not for the faint hearted. This is the real Phuket!This blog post is mainly intended to tie up all the vegetarian festival related posts from the last few years.

Amazing FLUID faucet doubles as drinking fountain
2009-05-14 17:52:00 Get rid of that toothpaste-encrusted cup, and get ready for FLUID, the faucet that turns into a drinking fountain with a simple flick of your wrist. Twist the knob on the side to adjust the water temperature, and move the "nose" to a level position to stop the water flow. The farther up or down you move it, the faster the water flows.It's a concept from Khler Design, a German group of designers not to be confused with the all-American Kohler Company, toilet makers to the stars, and creator of faucets that qualify as works of art. Maybe the two should team up and get this unique faucet into bathrooms across the world, pronto.Either that, or we're getting one of those toothbrushes that also gives you water-fountain capability. Because really, how do you rinse after brushing? Put your mouth on the faucet? Use a messy cup that invariably gets caked with all that toothpaste on your mouth? Or cup your hands under the faucet? --If you like this post, then please subscribe to my Also yo...
