The last Jedi right now is Luke after Yoda and Ben died, will he die without a new Jedi to carry on is trained (doubtful). So, considering that Luke was probably expected to die in this episode, he will have to train Rey or Finn (or both as Jedi is plural too) to be the next (last?) Jedi. That is the most plausible explanation but I hope that is not as simple as that and that they will surprise us with something totally unexpected.
After two years of planning and construction,illiz architecture has transformed an underground accommodation for rescue forces at the edge of a school area into a light-flooded indoor pool where children and youth swimming lessons enjoy a view of Lake Zurich.
an interactive website that allows you to drag countries and continents around the Mercator projection and discover just how big they are (or aren’t).
It is hard to represent our spherical world on flat piece of paper. Cartographers use something called a “projection” to morph the globe into 2D map. The most popular of these is the Mercator projection.
Every map projection introduces distortion, and each has its own set of problems. One of the most common criticisms of the Mercator map is that it exaggerates the size of countries nearer the poles (US, Russia, Europe), while downplaying the size of those near the equator (the African Continent). On the Mercator projection Greenland appears to be roughly the same size as Africa. In reality, Greenland is 0.8 million sq. miles and Africa is 11.6 million sq. miles, nearly 14 and a half times larger.
This app was created by James Talmage and Damon Maneice. It was inspired by an episode of The West Wing and an infographic by Kai Krause entitled “The True Size of Africa”. We hope teachers will use it to show their students just how big the world actually is.
PS Last image is Puerto Rico, we have a small country complex, the solution would be to place it just above Greenland in the map!
As a homogeneous yet continuously changing surface, the façade creates an ambiguity often found in Kyoto’s architecture. Through their gradual rotations, several hundred wooden louvers evoke a sense of motion, as if the building itself were continuously engaging with its environment. The building’s interior is more concealed than revealed. Facing the building, one is left without a precise answer as to how many floors or how deep the building might be. Towards the sides, the louvers are rotated to a degree that they almost appear to be a solid, albeit nuanced, wall. Towards the middle, varying degrees of transparency give subtle hints about the inside. Walking by further sets the façade in motion, as if the building itself were moving around those who pass by, engaging them by revealing glimpses of the inside in varying depths.
CITY PERILS about a structural defect uncovered in June, 1978 in Citibank’s $175 million Citicorp Center tower which could have caused it to collapse in the event of a strong hurricane. Tells about designer William J. LeMessurier, who was structural consultant to the architect High Stubbins, Jr. They set their 59-story tower on four massive nine-story-high stilts and used an unusual, chevron-shaped system of wind braces. LeMessurier had established the strength of those braces in perpendicular winds. Now, in the spirit of intellectual play, in his Harvard class, he wanted to see if they were just as strong in winds hitting from 45 degrees. He discovered the design flaw and during wind tunnel tests in Ontario learned the weakest joint was at the building’s 30th floor. Describes the building’s active motion damping system, built into the top of the structure. By Aug. 7, 1978, steel plates to correct the defect had been designed. Welders worked seven days a week in August, after office hours, to add the plates to the wind braces. Welding was completed in October. The bank agreed to hold Stubbins’ firm harmless and to accept the $2 million payment from LeMessurier and his joint-venture partners; no litigation ever ensued. Eight years ago, Citicorp turned the building into a condominium, retaining the land and the shops but selling all the office space, to Japanese buyers, at a handsome profit.
The word “photography” originates from Greek roots φωτός (phōtos) “light” and γραφή (graphé) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing”, together meaning “drawing with light”. Wikipedia
