The man who turned his home into a public library. 19 September 2012Last updated at 20:24 ET By Kate McGeown BBC News, Manila If you put all the books you own on the street outside your house, you might expect them to disappear in a trice.
But one man in Manila tried it - and found that his collection grew. Hernando Guanlao is a sprightly man in his early 60s, with one abiding passion - books.

Sometime in 2005, Beauty the bald eagle was shot in the face by a poacher, which damaged her beak badly enough that she couldn’t eat on her own.

But it became increasingly clear that her beak was never going to grow back — meaning that Beauty would never be able to feed herself.
100 Wild Huts. Co-operative Businesses Are Booming in Tough Times - Business. While the global economy crawls toward a jerky recovery from the 2008 financial collapse, a subset of businesses is outshining the rest.
Cooperatives—companies owned by their employees or customers—are proving surprisingly steady and sound during these dour times. That's especially good for the workers, who in this case, are also owners. A United Kingdom study found that over the past four years, co-ops have grown at twice the rate of the rest of the U.K. economy. In the United States, anecdotal evidence paints a similar picture.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) in Japan said Tuesday its monitoring efforts have recorded record high radiation levels in local seafood: 25,800 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium in fish sampled within a 20-kilometer range of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The findings indicate that radioactive contamination remains at unsafe levels in the area's food supply more than a year after the nuclear crisis. NOTCOT.ORG. Landscape Abbreviated by Nova Jiang is a kinetic maze consisting of modular elements with rotating planters, which form a garden that is simultaneously a machine. August 18th, 2012 "I am interested in the way that simple interventions can make the experience of space dynamic and unpredictable.
The planters are controlled by a software program that continuously generates new maze patterns based on mathematical rules; they rotate to form shifting pathways that encourage visitors to change direction and viewpoints as they move through the space. I envision this sculpture not as a classical labyrinth built to ensnare, but rather as an architectural abbreviation of grand ideas. Realitat - Microsonic Landscapes.
