Moving Walls Transform Apartment: Four Minutes of WOW! (VIDEO) A year ago we wrote about Gary Chang's Domestic Transformer, an incredible 344 square foot apartment that could change into any of 24 different designs. We showed pictures and plans, but more than any house I have seen, this one needs a movie. Planet Green visited it for the World's Greenest Homes, and it is truly four minutes of wow. Get a bigger version on Planet Green.I repeat the plans below the fold for reference while watching.... all photos: Marcel Lam for The New York Times One learns a lot from the video that we didn't know last year- that swinging hammock is really in the center of a huge home theater setup.
The wall units, which are suspended from steel tracks bolted into the ceiling, seem to float an inch above the reflective black granite floor. A simplified drawing of the apartment from AFP. Chang also explains why this kind of design is so important in a world of diminishing resources, particularly when one of those resources is space: Plans of the uniit: How To Ergonomically Optimise Your Workspace. We spend a lot of time sitting at our desks every day, and while it may not look like it, it can wreak havoc with out bodies. Here’s how to set up a healthy, ergonomic workspace to keep you comfortable and injury-free. Some of you may not realise how unfriendly your workspace is to your body, while others of you have already started experiencing repetitive strain injury (RSI) from an improperly set up desk.
A number of different factors can cause injuries (yes, even at a desk), and they may not always be obvious — for example, slouching and keeping your shoulders tense can not only cause pinched nerves in your shoulders, but even hurt your wrists. If you haven’t given a lot of thought to the comfort of your workspace, it’s probably time to give it an ergonomic makeover. For the purposes of this guide, we’re going to assume you’re using a sitting desk.

By Stew Smith If you want to wear the green beret of the Army Special Forces, be warned, it takes more than the ability to do hundreds of push-ups. To make it in the Special Forces of any branch of the U.S. military, you need intelligence, an outstanding record of prior military service (at least three years), and high motivation - very high. But now, a new program will enable you to go straight to the SFAS after Army Boot Camp - skipping the 3 year wait! Ask your local Army Recruiter for more details. My next few columns are for those of you who think you have what it takes to go Special Forces. I can give you the requirements for each service and a workout that will help you get physically prepared for the advanced training. As for those other qualities, you're on your own.

He was educated in boarding schools in Berlin and joined the corps of cadets at Potsdam and Berlin-Lichterfelde.
In 1890, he was commissioned a Leutnant into the Imperial German Army. Military career[edit] In 1900, Lettow-Vorbeck was posted to China as a member of the international alliance forces to quell the Boxer Rebellion. Beginning in 1904, he was assigned to German South-West Africa (now Namibia), during the Namaqua and Herero insurrection. In 1907, Lettow-Vorbeck was promoted to Major and assigned to the staff of 11th Army Corps.
While travelling to his new assignment, Lettow-Vorbeck formed what would prove to be a lifelong friendship with Danish author Karen Blixen (also known by her pen name of Isak Dinesen), who was travelling aboard the same liner.

Confusion of parody and sincere expression Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.[1][2][3] Origin[edit] Poe's law is based on a comment written by Nathan Poe in 2005 on christianforums.com, an Internet forum on Christianity.
The message was posted during a debate on creationism, where a previous poster had remarked to another user: "Good thing you included the winky. Otherwise people might think you are serious".[4] The reply by Nathan Poe read:[1] Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article. The original statement of Poe's law referred specifically to creationism, but it has since been generalized to apply to any kind of fundamentalism or extremism.[3] See also[edit] References[edit] Summary Best Practice Business Processes.

Build an Adjustable Standing Desk with Pipe and Kee Klamp - Blog - Projects,...
This project got stared the other day when I read and discussed a couple of posts on the Lifehacker web site about the health risks of working while sitting all the time. I got inspired to do something about it and decided that I would build myself a desk that I could stand at. One of the goals that I had for the desk was to make it versatile enough to be used in a number of settings. My thought was something that I could use in my office, but might also be used with a treadmill. In this video I talk about the idea for the standing desk: Design My design consisted of a telescoping pole that went from floor to ceiling and a perpendicular pole that could support a keyboard or laptop.

Overlawyered — Chronicling the high cost of our legal system. BAYES THEOREM IN THE COURT OF APPEAL. Explaining Evidence Logically Bernard Robertson and Tony Vignaux In Dennis John Adams (No 2) (CA)(Crim Div) 16 October 1997, the Court of Appeal considered for the third time the admissibility of instruction on the use of Bayes Theorem to combine items of evidence. This was the first time that matter had been properly argued but the Court, including on this occasion the Lord Chief Justice, preferred the uninstructed comments of their brethren to the argument put before them.
The Court drew comfort from a favourable comment on one of the two previous cases in the Cases and Comments section of Crim LR but did not consider any of the unfavourable comment. In Adams, the prosecution evidence was treated as consisting only of a DNA analysis for which a very high likelihood ratio was given. Other items of evidence, such as the failure of the victim to pick out the accused on an ID parade, tended to favour the accused. But there is no such clear distinction.

Roberts Rules | Chart of Motions. Logic in Argumentative Writing. Summary: This resource covers using logic within writing—logical vocabulary, logical fallacies, and other types of logos-based reasoning. Contributors:Ryan Weber, Allen BrizeeLast Edited: 2013-03-22 09:43:14 This handout is designed to help writers develop and use logical arguments in writing. This handout helps writers analyze the arguments of others and generate their own arguments.
However, it is important to remember that logic is only one aspect of a successful argument. Logic is a formal system of analysis that helps writers invent, demonstrate, and prove arguments. The most famous logical sequence, called the syllogism, was developed by the Greek philosopher Aristotle. Premise 1: All men are mortal. In this sequence, premise 2 is tested against premise 1 to reach the logical conclusion. This guide provides some vocabulary and strategies for determining logical conclusions.
