The minimalism of shapes and the straight lines of the design are evident in this residence. This premise came from the client himself, an admirer of architecture and contemporary art. As a continuity to this minimalism and visual cleaning, the closures and openings of the project are presented in a light way, justifying and composing the sectorizations, circulations and perspectives adopted. The main volume featured is drawn by a continuous white line, which merges with the wood and glass and rests on a rocking concrete block.Save this picture!Ground Floor PlanThe concrete marks the private social functions of the house and the continuous white volume houses the service and leisure areas on the ground floor. In the void resulting from the joining of these two volumes are the rooms, located in strategic and central position and that open totally to the leisure area. This same block of concrete crosses the ground in a north / south direction and presents itself on the rear façade with a large horizontal opening. On this façade the rooms are facing north and overlooking a generous preservation area which is also an integral part of the land.Save this picture!© Nelson KonThis project, designed for a family of 5 people (couple and 3 children), intended to propose a practical home that aesthetically reflects the client’s admiration for art and design. As a sculpture, the Guaicá Residence lands elegantly on the ground, taking advantage of the topography to create the internal and external spaces. The entire front face of the residence is covered by a large Uglass glass plane, which creates horizontal and vertical perspectives. As the person approaches, the façade reveals a long swinging metal staircase attached to a crude reinforced concrete structure. The concrete, kept apparent with the markings of the metallic formwork – works as a structural gable and also as a minimalist backdrop of the house decoration – also signed by the Padovani Arquitetos office.Save this picture!SectionsThe decoration was directed to house the works of art that go from Alfredo Ceschiatti to Martins de Porangaba; from Geraldo Teles de Oliveira to Willem de Kooning. The national travertine marble is applied in all internal and external environments of the ground floor. On the top floor, the wood appears to give comfort to the intimate surroundings. A large, continuous sliding panel in ripped cumaru wood (vertically) appears on the rear facade as external locking of the rooms.Save this picture!© Nelson KonThe dialogue between indoor materials and natural lighting takes place throughout the day, creating light and shadow effects, precisely controlling the intensity for each space. At the bottom of the terrain is the pool that was set at a higher elevation, with the infinity edge being thought of inverted. Instead of turning to the landscape, it is done in the opposite direction. Thus, from the leisure area of the house the water frames and continuously reflects the lines of architecture.Save this picture!© Nelson KonProject gallerySee allShow lessSHoP Architects Design New Embassy Compound in HondurasArchitecture NewsSafdie Architects and Perkins+Will’s Albert Einstein Medical School Breaks Ground in…Architecture News Share Save this picture!© Nelson Kon+ 28Curated by Pedro Vada Share CopyHouses•Brazil CopyAbout this officePadovani Arquitetos AssociadosOfficeFollowProductsWoodGlassConcrete#TagsProjectsBuilt ProjectsSelected ProjectsResidential ArchitectureHousesBrazilPublished on November 07, 2018Cite: “Guaica Residence / Padovani Arquitetos Associados” [Residência Guaicá / Padovani Arquitetos Associados] 07 Nov 2018.

René GonzálezAttorneys for René González on June 22 renewed legal action to allow him to return to his home and family in Cuba. The brief asks for modification of his three-year supervised release so he can serve the remainder after repatriation — a common procedure, according to the brief.González and four comrades — Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando González — had been arrested in Miami on Sept. 12, 1998. The five were in the United States on a mission to stop terror against Cuba. They were monitoring Florida-based paramilitary gangs that had been responsible for bombing Cuban hotels during the 1990s.These terrorists were continuing to plan violent acts against Cuba in order to discourage tourism — an essential part of the Caribbean island’s economy, especially during the Special Period after the collapse of its trading partners in the Soviet and East European socialist bloc.The Cuban 5 were convicted by an intimidated Miami jury, amid sensationalized media reports written by journalists later found to be on the U.S. government payroll. The five were then sentenced to disproportionately harsh prison terms. In essence, their offense was to be unregistered foreign agents, a relatively minor charge which is often resolved by sending the offenders back to their homeland. Not in the case of the Cuban 5, though.Gerardo Hernández, for example, is sentenced to two life terms plus 15 years. But a persistent and growing global movement is demanding that all the Cuban 5 be released and returned to Cuba.Now, even after his release from prison last Oct. 7, González remains in a form of isolation — one his attorney says is contrary to the reintegration purpose of supervised release. First and foremost, he is isolated from the community he intends to reintegrate into — his home in Cuba. Cuba is where his spouse Olga, his daughters Irma and Yvette, and his parents live. González did get the court’s permission to briefly visit Cuba in April to say goodbye to his dying brother, Roberto. He then returned to the U.S.González was born in the United States and holds both Cuban and U.S. citizenship. Nonetheless, he is isolated in the U.S., where he remains undocumented. To get a valid driver’s license in Florida, González would be required to make the address of his residence a matter of public record. Because of the violent anti-Cuba groups there, this would be a risk to his safety.The brief points out an obvious fact that should be apparent to the court. “As a convicted agent of the Cuban government, Defendant is reviled by a significant number of people who harbor anti-Cuba and anti-Castro views, some of whom have advocated violence. Therefore, Defendant has found it necessary to take strong measures to ensure that his identity and location remain a secret from those who would do him harm.”A trained pilot, González also can’t renew his pilot’s license without making his address known. He cannot get credit or enroll in school or participate in anything that requires him to divulge his identity and residence.González has offered to renounce his U.S. citizenship when he is allowed to return to Cuba, so as to “provide to the Court and to the Government the concrete assurance that he does not intend to return for any suspect purpose whatsoever.”It is ironic that the U.S. government, which has expeditiously removed more than 280,000 immigrants from the U.S. thus far in 2012 and returned them to their country of origin against their will, has forced a Cuban who is a hero to his people to remain in Florida against his wishes.FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailPrintMoreShare thisFacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailPrintMoreShare this
Home Indiana Agriculture News GMO Label Bill May Pass Congress This Session GMO Label Bill May Pass Congress This Session But Thatcher points out that simply a Republican majority in the Senate is not a guarantee that a GMO label bill will make it through. She said enough amendments would need to be attached to such a bill to garner Democratic support, “And it would have to be something the President would sign.” Mary Kay ThatcherAs the new Congress gathers in Washington, several old ag issues will again see action. A federal standard for labeling of GMO food products has been before Congress for the past 2 years, but little if any progress has been made. American Farm Bureau Federation Senior Director of Agricultural Policy Mary Kay Thatcher thinks national GMO labeling legislation will be more successful in this new Congress than it was in the previous ones, “We had some good hearings in the House last session; and, with a Republican majority in both the House and Senate, I think we stand a good chance of betting a bill passed this year.” Facebook Twitter SHARE SHARE Several states have passed or are considering their own GMO labeling bills. Such a patchwork of different standards would pose a real problem for food producers and manufacturers.

News Updates”You Cannot First Penalize People Just For Hiding Your Failures” Delhi Court To Prosecution In Oxygen Concentrators Hoarding Case Nupur Thapliyal11 May 2021 5:51 AMShare This – x”You cant first penalize people and then make a law. Can you make them guilty of offences which is no offence just to remain in good books? There is a vaccum. Just because of hiding your failures you can’t run behind people. You can’t create terror.” Remarked a Delhi Court on Tuesday while reserving orders in the Oxygen Concentrators Hoarding case.Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Arun Kumar Garg made the aforesaid oral remark after Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava apprised the Court about the facts of the case stating that the accused persons have hatched a conspiracy by taking advantage of the “pathetic situation of covid 19 pandemic” and sold the said oxygen Concentrators at higher prices.It was submitted by Shrivastava that the accused persons who have sold oxygen concentrators by way of an application namely “XFactor” have allegedly induced the public and compelled such persons to buy products at a higher price and in turn sold “useless products”.Shrivastava also argued that after various persons started making complaints about the working condition of the products, the same were sent to Sriram Institute for checking. It was also stated that there were screenshots on record showing people complaining about the Concentrators and highlighting the issue of non refund. At this juncture, the Court questioned the PP as to whether there was any inducement in the matter.When I downloaded the xfactor app, there was a specific condition in bold letter stating that the product non refundable and that you cannot cancel orders. Sec. 420 of IPC cannot be met in this case. Maximum remedy can be granted under Consumer Protection Act.” The judge remarked.Pulling up the Prosecution, the Court orally remarked thus:”Demand supply rule will apply when the govt has not regulated the price. They have not regulated. Is doing business in this country an offence?”On this, the Court also stated thus: “Yesterday only I have seen the documents shared by advocates. There is a requisition from the Ministry seeking 100 Concentrators. That means everybody was aware of it what was happening.”On the aspect of the High Court’s direction to take strict action and registeration of FIRs against those indulged in hoarding and black marketing, the Court stated that when the High Court or Supreme Court expresses that the police must book hoarders, it doesn’t ask them book him under “xyz sections”. “It is saying that action can be taken for contempt of court, or you should see there is an existing law which takes care of it. You cant first penalize people and then make a law. Can you make them guilty of offences which is no offence just to remain in good books? There is a vacuum. Just because of hiding your failures you can’t be behind people. You can’t create terror.” The Court stated.Furthermore, the Court also went ahead to observe that Black marketing is a loose word which is not defined anywhere in law.”There is no law and there is a vaccum, you don’t want to create a law. You want to abrogate the responsibility. A businessman suddenly, I don’t know about the credentials of accused here, but every business man sees such an opportunity. Just because you have to hide your faults, you cannot curtail the fundamental rights of other people.” The Court orally remarked at the outset.At this point, the Court went ahead to state that when there is an absence of any legislation and the same has been address by the judiciary, the duty of formulating a law lies on the law makers. On the conduct of the investigating agency and the prosecution for registering the FIRs, the Court expressed its displeasure on a “recent disturbing trend” followed by such agencies wherein the police starts investigating after registeration of FIR and arrest. “This is a very pathetic condition I am seeing on a regular basis. This is the reason why my orders are pretty harsh. The investigation should happen in a planned manner. The investigation should be fair. If they have done some wrong, they should be punished. But in cas they are not, then they shouldn’t be. You should keep your prejudices and opinions aside and reach out the truth. You need to be fair to everyone. Because our inclination is not to send anybody behind bars. I know that black marketing is happening but everything should be fair. What was the hurry of seizing the goods? Whenever you do something, it should be planned.” The Court observed.Stating that the ultimate responsibility lies on the State, the Court remarked thus:”You should not twist the facts. Twisting facts do not yield any result. You know the law, look for the truth. Not from an approach that because you have a direction, you need to make someone guilty.”Hearing the submissions of the counsel appearing for all the accused persons, the Court put up the matter for order at 11:30 AM tomorrow.TagsDelhi Court #COVID-19 second covid wave Navneet kalra Oxygen Concentrators Delhi Oxygen Concentrators Hoarding case Next Story

By News Highland – June 21, 2018 Publicans in Republic watching closely as North reopens further Homepage BannerNews Twitter Nine til Noon Show – Listen back to Monday’s Programme Community Enhancement Programme open for applications Pinterest Donegal’s most popular tourist attraction is experiencing “serious issues” with traffic and people management during the busy summer travel season.Visitor numbers at Glenveagh National Park and castle have steadily increased in recent years, according to the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, which oversees the management and maintenance of the park.More than 211,600 visitors were recorded at the attraction last year, up from 150,600 in 2014.It was recently named by Fáilte Ireland as one of the top-20 most popular fee-charging visitor attractions in the country.However according to the Journal.ie, a recent tender said the park – which opens year-round – is experiencing “serious issues with traffic management in the peak season”.The castle and surrounding grounds “are also heavily congested in the summer months, with catering facilities at times unable to cater for the large volume of visitors”, it added.In an effort to counter the congestion problem, the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht issued the tender for an “architect-led team” to develop and manage a long-term visitor experience plan for Glenveagh National Park.The contract is estimated to be worth €200,000. The successful bidder will be required to delivery a “world-class experience” at the site, “manage existing and potential visitor capacity issues”, and “facilitate improved visitor access” to the attraction.The culture department said that providing tourists with “engaging, imaginative and compelling experiences of Glenveagh National Park will motivate them to come to Donegal and encourage them to spend more time and money in the area.”“Glenveagh National Park is an iconic attraction which has the potential to play a key role in extending the tourism season in Donegal through motivating visitors to visit during ‘off peak’ times.”According to Fáilte Ireland data, Donegal is the second least-visited county on the Wild Atlantic Way after Sligo, recording 289,000 overseas tourists in 2015 – the year after the marketing brand was launched.Public transportationAs explained in the tender document, traffic is currently being pushed onto the nearby R251 main road during the busiest times of the year.There is currently no public transport to the park – Bus Éireann’s Expressway bus terminates 24km away in Letterkenny – although private bus operators run services during certain parts of the peak travel season.The park’s 250-car and seven-coach parking facilities are “unable to cater for the volume of traffic” during the summer months, the tender added.The successful bidder for the visitor experience plan is expected to come up with recommendations for improving the infrastructural and recreational offering at Glenveagh.“The overall objectives of this project are to address the capacity issues in Glenveagh National Park and develop motivating and compelling visitor experiences,” the culture department said.

Council members Arthur Lee Griffin and Steven Coleman were not present.In response to a question by Council Member Margaret Ross regarding pay for the city workers who were unable to work during the recent ice and snow event, Thomas said that initially the workers had the option of taking an annual leave day in order to receive pay for those days.

Those who worked during the weather event will be granted administrative leave to be used at their discretion.Thomas said the winter weather delayed the start of the city’s demolition project that will remove designated dilapidated structures throughout the city.The work is underway and structures have been taken down on Veterans Boulevard and Wilkes and McGuire streets. All of the original structures and the add-ons should be removed within the scope of the project, Thomas said.The council reviewed the city sales and gas tax numbers and the news was both good and not so good.

However, the gas tax is not on track. The 2013 local gas tax, down 10 percent from 2012, took the hardest hit. The 4-, 5-and 7-cent taxes which are allocated by state law were down 1 percent in 2013.But a positive sign is that the state taxes were up 2 percent in the first quarter of 2014.Willie Wright, principal of Pike County High School and administrator of the city’s recreation department, said 125 kids are participating in the city’s basketball league and that support by the parents has been tremendous.“We are moving in the right direction with the recreation program,” Wright said. “The parents are becoming more involved. They are filling the stands and that’s what we want. We do need more coaches for all sports and we greatly appreciate those who are willing to give time to the recreation programs.”
St Peter’s started their new season just as they left off nine months ago as the reigning champions played to the top of their game to whitewash a disappointing Exeter.The home side came off convincing winners in the first match of the college campaign and set out their intentions for what they hope to be another successful season.The two strongest sides in the First Division – Exeter finished second last season – looked well matched at first, but it was Peter’s who prevailed with the pace, skill and discipline that Exeter could not match. Robert Unwin and new boy Bertie Payne were the pivots in the Peter’s team who enabled the side in green to stretch out the lead to 52 points over their red-and-black hooped rivals, while James Clayton-Payne playing at number 8 and Joe Stewart added the edge for the home side.That Exeter, blessed with one of the largest front rows around and the terrific Luka Gakic at number 8, could barely keep up with the brilliance of Peter’s sheds light on what the rest of the First Division can expect this term. Despite the departure of a number of the Peter’s pack at the end of Trinity Term, the influx of talent among first-years has made up for any such losses, as David Poraj-Wilczynski, the Peter’s captain, was quick to point out.“We’ve got some good freshers in,” he noted. “We lost our whole pack. It needed a bit of regenerating. Luckily we’ve got three or four really sharp freshers including Bertie who was playing at flanker, and a couple of others. We’ve filled our gaps.”If Peter’s play as they did on Tuesday, surely their real ambition – Cup success – is possible. “The Cuppers loss [to St Edmund Hall in last year’s final] has obviously hit us hard,” Poraj-Wilczynski admitted. “It shows our bouncebackability! To come back and put a performance in like that is quite special.” A special season too, perhaps.Exeter were certainly not mediocre; just unfortunate to be playing Peter’s at their best. The visiting side started aggressively, if sometimes illegally, with Gakic trying to assert Exeter’s physical advantage that their size would normally give.But it was their sloppiness that prevented any fruitfulness from their attacking start, and Peter’s took advantage 15 minutes in when Tom Rayner’s interception led to a try for David Conway. Unwin, magnificent with his kicking all afternoon, converted it and then put Peter’s into a 10-0 lead with a penalty.Payne added another try by the corner flag ten minutes later. Unwin’s outstanding conversion in the severe wind put Peter’s 17-0 up before Stewart ran through a hapless Exeter defence to stretch the lead to 22.Exeter were fortunate at times not to slip yet further behind. Clayton-Payne would have scored but for a forward pass on the try line and Exeter’s Will Cochrane put over a 30-yard penalty in injury time at the end of the first half to go in 22-3 down at the break.If Exeter thought they could launch an unlikely comeback, they would be disappointed. Dan Lowther’s top-class tackling meant the Peter’s defence was never breached, and Bertrand Perrodo pushed the greens further with his powerful running.Unwin added three more tries – two of them after running through a line of Exeter defenders – and passed to Clayton-Payne for his score, as well as converting four second-half tries to give Peter’s a 50-3 lead. Ben Jones scored by the right corner flag four minutes from the end to complete the rout.Exeter can take heart from the fact that they will meet fewer teams stronger than Tuesday’s opponents. For Peter’s, however, anything but perfection would be a let-down after last season.“Last year [the Teddy Hall match] was the only match we lost,” Poraj-Wilczynski said. “I’d like it to be the same this year, but I think the quality’s going to be quite strong. We’re just going to see how it goes. But we’re confident.”Confident, but not complacent. “I don’t think they were the fittest or best side we’re going to play,” the captain added. “We’re not going to rest on our laurels.”ARCHIVE: 1st week MT 2005
An academic administrator has mistakenly circulated two theses of a Classics student to a mailing list of over 500 students. The Classics undergraduate finalist submitted both his “thesis” and “special thesis” to Andrew Dixon, an Academic Administrative Officer, at the Faculty of Classics. The theses in question could potentially account for 25% of the student’s total mark for his undergraduate degree. Classisicts take eight equally weighted papers. The student in question also submitted a “special thesis” which works as an optional ninth paper and can be substituted for the lowest exam grade attained. This was sent along with his thesis, which will definitely make up 12.5% of his final grade. However, Dixon then mistakenly circulated the two theses to everyone on the Classics Undergraduate mailing list. The mailing list consists of 582 students in total and includes students of related subjects, such as CAAH. Dixon sent an email of apology twenty five minutes later to the same mailing list. His email ran: “Many apologies for forwarding an electronic copy of a student’s dissertation to the list in error. Please delete this from your inbox.” The Faculty of Classics responded with an apology, ‘The Faculty is deeply sorry for the mistake and apologises unreservedly to the student affected.” The faculty told Cherwell “We can understand the anxiety any student would have about the accidental circulation of work that will count towards their degree mark, but we are confident that there are sufficiently rigorous controls built into the examination marking and adjudication process to ensure the student’s work will be marked anonymously and fairly.” “Any student who has concerns about the conduct of a University Examination is entitled to raise these with the Proctors, and they will be addressed under the University’s complaints-handling regulations.” He then went on to offer his “apologies in particular to the student concerned.” Classics students have expressed their anger at the mistake. A Merton Classicist told Cherwell, “I thought it was a complete betrayal of privacy. I felt very bad for that guy. It was horrible actually. I hope they make it up to him.”
