Bridge To Asia -- News and so on through architecture, economics, engineering Unless these and other aggressivesolutions are developing countries may never bridge their knowledge gaps http://www.bridge.org/regime.html
Extractions: Jeff Smith [Edited from "World Information", World-Information.org, distributed at the World Summit on the Information Society, Geneva, 10-12 December 2003] China cannot afford the knowledge it needs in fields that are critical to development. It cannot pay First World prices for the hundreds of thousands of Western books, journals, databases and other materials in agriculture, finance, engineering, law, medicine, and other essential fields that are needed by its universities and research centers. The depth of this knowledge gap can be seen in universities which are among the poorest institutions in the country. Their libraries, at the heart of the higher education enterprise, are outdated and half empty. The result is a calamity: faculty cannot stay current, students cannot learn what they should, and the system will not produce enough well trained graduates to sustain the modernization of the country. The poverty of most libraries may be hidden by showcase buildings but is plan to see in the stacks. The new Library of Peking University, impressive as it appears, holds a large but weak collection. The Medical Library of Xi'an Jiaotong University is more typical: virtually all of its shelves are empty and coated with dust, and a small faculty reading room holds just a handful of current titles.

Extractions: MAXON Computer, May 31, 2001 - MAXON Computer is pleased to announce the release of a new plugin that integrates its BodyPaint 3D professional 3D painting application with Discreet's 3DS MAX versions 3 and 4. This new plugin enables 3D artists to combine two powerful applications to improve and expand production workflow. Adding fine detail to textures in a 3DS MAX scene is now easier than ever before. Artists can even paint in raytraced mode for the ultimate real-time feedback. BodyPaint 3D allows texturing of everything from low-poly game models to complex 3D objects with millions of polygons. The BP MAX exchange plugin supports conversion of complete 3ds max scenes, including objects, hierarchies, lights, cameras, common material properties and UV tags. The scene is translated from 3DS MAX to BodyPaint 3D with the click of a button. All UV manipulation and painting of textures are then passed back to MAX with another click. BodyPaint 3D has garnered numerous awards since its release in late 2000, including MacWeek's Best of Show for MacWorld 2001. MAXON's unique RayBrush technology enables users to paint onto a raytraced image in three dimensions in real time. Reflectivity, bump, transparency, specularity and other channels can be painted in real time with direct visual feedback in multiple 3D views. Up to 10 material channels can be painted concurrently to create compound effects like rust and scarring. Advanced UV manipulation tools allow easy manipulation of UV through Optimal and Interactive Mapping as well as detailed point editing. Additionally, BodyPaint 3D takes full advantage of the advanced features of Wacom's Intuos intelligent graphics tablet system. Users can map most aspects of brush characteristics to the pressure, tilt and angle of the Wacom pen.

Extractions: The St. Petersburg climate is influenced by the huge expanses of the Atlantic Ocean and its immediate proximity to the Gulf of Finland; water also accounts for 10% of the city's area - a great number of rivers, lakes and marshes. The region varies from a marine to a continental climate, mild and humid, with a significant amount of cloudy weather, frequent mists and substantial rainfall. In summer the city enjoys periods of hot, dry weather when the temperature can reach 35 degrees C. The average temperature in winter is - 7.8 degrees C. AGE St. Petersburg will shortly be celebrating its 300th anniversary. Peter I founded a new Russian fortress on little Hare Island in the Neva delta in 1703 and called it Sankt-Piterburgh. Work on the fortifications started in 1704; Peter and the city's first governor, Alexander Menshikov, decided to make St. Petersburg the new capital of Russia, which would not suffer in comparison with any other European capital in its splendour and importance. The general design for the city was drawn up by the architects Trezzini , Korobov and Yeropkin. They laid the basis for the planning of the new city with a trident of main avenues fanning out from the Admiralty.

Whitireia Polytechnic The New Zealand landscape has been the main inspiration to architects in this country as they have evolved their own styles, particularly for peoples' homes. And as the New Zealand landscape is varied, so are the designs it inspires. We invited the Victoria University of Wellington to tell us more... , "New Zealand cities present a largely European face through their architecture," Associate Professor David Kernohan, Dean of the School of Architecture at Victoria UniversityofWellington, says. "While some older buildings do survive, New Zealand cities are characterised by high-rise office buildings though none are as high as in New York or Chicago." It is at the domestic or residential scale that New Zealand architects excel. New Zealanders have a close relationship with the land, its topography, verdant bush, blue seas, clear skies and open spaces have been an inspiration to New Zealand architects. "Whether building in the rugged country of Otago, the plains of Canterbury, the hills of Wellington or the bays of Auckland, New Zealand architects have expressed both individuality and innovation in their designs for peoples' homes. Now this is beginning to impact on its cities too. Wellington Harbour, with its new civic centre and the Museum of New Zealand now under construction, epitomises the ability of New Zealand architects to foot it with the best internationally, while providing an architecture that reflects our Pacific context," Associate Professor Kemohan said.

Extractions: 2 Feb 1995 SNA depends on a reliable network. When any packet of data moves between nodes, it must be checked for errors and either accepted or retransmitted. Only after it has been accepted can it be sent on to the next node. To achieve this reliability, SNA depends on "connection oriented" protocols in the HDLC family. HDLC is an international standard developed in the 1970's to provide simple, reliable modem communications. Like all international standards, it has a very broad definition with something for everyone. The HDLC definition leaves open many choices. Communication can be full-duplex (where both computers can send data to each other at the same time) or half-duplex (where one computer sends and the other listens). When a sequence of data packets arrives and one is found to be in error, the receiver can either ask specifically for the one bad packet to be retransmitted, or it can ask for that packet and all the data that followed it to be retransmitted. IBM has a policy of refining any ambiguous international standard by adopting as an internal corporate standard one specific set of answers. When the standard requires that a system tolerate any of several responses to a situation, IBM will adopt a standard by which all IBM devices must generate one specific response, even though they may have to tolerate all valid responses from other devices produced by other vendors. The response to HDLC was to select specific options, clear up uncertainties, and generate a more precise subset of the large protocol that IBM named "

Extractions: Places: A landmark himself, Kidney remains devoted to city's architecture Wednesday, February 27, 2002 By Patricia Lowry, Post-Gazette architecture critic You have to envy Walter Kidney's commute. "You sort of miss things like trees and so on because you're above them," he said in his down-to-earth office at One Station Square, stacked with plat books dating to 1889 showing how Pittsburgh evolved from farmland to dense neighborhoods. "But it's a very nice outlook and a real surprise up there. You realize how the relationship of things to one another spatially is so different. You find that things are a few degrees off from where you think they ought to be." Kidney, who moved to his perch on Grandview last fall, has lived on Mount Washington since 1978, when he took up permanent residence here after moving in and out of the city most of his life. Late last month, when he celebrated his 70th birthday over lunch with a group of friends and colleagues at the Grand Concourse, Kidney officially became a Pittsburgh historic landmark so proclaimed the citation presented to him by PHLF's executive director, Louise Sturgess. Over more than 20 years, Kidney has written five books about Pittsburgh buildings, rivers and bridges, but the road to honorary landmark status was anything but direct.

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... I > The Irish (in countries other than Ireland) A B C D ... Z I. IN THE UNITED STATES Who were the first Irish to land on the American continent and the time of their arrival are perhaps matters of conjecture rather than of historical proof; but that the Irish were there almost at the beginning of the colonial era is a fact support by historical records. The various nations of Europe whose explorers had followed Columbus were alive to the possibilities of land conquest in the new continent. For this purpose colonists were needed, and expeditions were fitted out under government protection, which brought over the earliest settlers. England was especially active in promoting these expeditions, and during the seventeenth century, various colonies, beginning with that of Jamestown in 1607, were planted with immigrants, most of them of English nationality. Irish names, however, are met with occasionally in the documents relating to these settlements; it is certain that there were Irish Catholics in the Virginia Colony prior to 1633. In the narrative of the voyage of the Jesuit Father Jesuit missionaries of these times we find Fathers Carroll, Murphy, Hayes, Quinn, O'Reilly, Casey, and others whose names indicate their Celtic origin.
Extractions: Lack of respect for the architectural profession shown by both public and private building patrons and their interference in the implementation of projects are among chronic difficulties that have remained as rampant today as yesterday. Other problems have also persisted, such as expecting consulting engineers to carry out large-scale projects without an initial plan, the inability to evaluate the artistic quality of projects, nitpicking over trivial matters while ignoring fundamental faults when judging the projects, the designers' and builder dislike of constructive criticism, lack of productive cooperation between designers and consultants, absence of healthy competition and the prevalence of deceitful practices in competing with others. Recently, a new issue has been added to these and that is the resistance of building patrons toward the construction of an edifice that is of a bold and outstanding artistic design.
