A few months ago, the Chinese singer and songwriter Cui Jian – often referred to as “The Father of Chinese Rock” – held an online rock concert with real-time streaming. The concert ignited Chinese social media as 46 million online spectators throughout the country watched on their personal devices. As part of the generation whose coming-of-age coincided with Cui’s rise to stardom three decades ago, and so having deep emotional connections to his lyrics and music, I marveled at how technology has advanced to the point that the mood of an exhilarating rock concert can be transmitted through a handheld screen and shared by so many millions.
On the other hand, I also wonder whether my remote experience would be so strong had I not previously had the real-life experience of being at one of Cui’s concerts, crowded together with thousands of others singing along to the music at the top of our lungs.
The answer is a definitive “no”. It was being there in person experiencing the scene, the sound, the space, the temperature, the air, the lights, the crowd, the smell, and all the other impalpable sensations that created such a powerful connection and long-lasting memories. That rock concert experienced online also reminded me of another thing. With the rapid advance of digital technologies and the constant bombardment of Internet and social media, people today seem to receive information and get an understanding of the world mostly through their eyes and ears. But we should not forget that we are also physical bodies with senses other than sight and hearing. In today’s frenetic dissemination of information, many sensory details are lost.
As architects, we have long thought of architecture as the medium to make connections. In the latest OPEN Manifesto, written for our new book published by Rizzoli,1 we said:
“We have been patiently in search of
architecture that is OPEN,
which establishes intricate relationships between
the forces in this confluence.
Architecture that connects us with people, to meet, exchange, and share.
Architecture that connects us with nature – trees and birds, sea and land, air and light.
Architecture that connects us with ourselves”.
How to establish these connections meaningfully is the question we constantly ask ourselves. Unlike Zuckerberg’s 2017 ambition to connect the whole world through the social media platform – now the Metaverse – for us, architecture exists as the counterweight to that weightless, anonymous, volatile digital world. In other words, architecture matters because it connects us back to what really makes us human.
I think that everything that touches me deeply – rock concerts included – inevitably awakens parts of my innate capacity to sense, feel and imagine – fundamental attributes to us as human beings. Most of us were born with complex sensory systems through which we make sense of the physical world around us: temperature, texture, sound, color, light, smell, and so on. These sensory signals are intricately linked to our emotions – feeling happy, sad, content, disappointed, etc. Our emotions may evoke memories of the past or stimulate us to imagine the future. It is precisely these innate abilities that make us feel alive and distinguishable from AI.
If architecture can awaken the multiple dimensions of people’s senses and touch their emotions and inner consciousness, then maybe it can help establish the meaningful connections we all yearn for. I am quite aware that the latest wave of architectural production is attuned to the business-driven, fast-evolving metaverse. However, I believe that only when the digital realm is able to connect back to our real-world experiences will it release its true potential. This is because our intrinsic nature as mortal beings will always find the ultimate consolation in connection with the real world.
The pandemic of the past couple of years has shown that even though the infotech revolution has greatly expanded our options and ways of life, we still long for interactions with real humans in real spaces. Remember that burning desire for a meal out with friends in an actual restaurant after the lockdowns?
Along the way, we at OPEN have always tried to create architecture that communicates with people viscerally and emotionally. Architecture is made for bodies and minds, not for cameras and the Internet. Although one has to be physically present to really experience our work, for the sake of this essay, I will try to use words and pictures to talk about some of the aspects we have explored with our architectural projects.
I have always found it interesting that Wassily Kandinsky, on account of a rare condition, had blurred senses that made him associate colors with certain sounds and moods. Although I do not have his sensitivity, for me colors are emotional and communicative; if carefully used, they can speak to people.
The deep blue of the Pingshan Performing Arts Center was probably the most difficult battle we had on that project with the municipal client at the time, which insisted on a typical red interior. We wanted the color to speak about the ocean character of the place by using the traditional blue of local fabrics to create a calm and mythical atmosphere, and a pleasing contrast to the warm bamboo panels. I really could hear the blue murmuring its age-old tales. Of course, it was no use telling our client that. It was a miracle therefore, that after many years of battling and being as persistent as the color blue itself, we eventually were able to use it.
We designed the kindergarten building for Qingpu Pinghe International School with colored vertical fins. One person told me of his “surprise” on driving by the building in one direction and seeing what looked like an orange-ish construction, only to discover on his way back that it had become blue-ish! I replied that the building is like a quietly happy child telling you that they have many sides, all of them splendid. In fact, one side of the vertical fins were painted with four shades of orange, and the other side with four shades of blue. The arrangement of the colors on each side was given by a simple algorithm for chance operations.
In complete contrast to the color story for the Pingshan Theater, the curtainwall contractor on this project meticulously accomplished our complex color scheme without querying our indications.
Can we see the shape of sound? If I were ever asked to fill a room with the lightest possible material, I would probably just play some music, even if I suppose the smart answer to this brain-teaser would be to light a candle and fill the room with light. I am always moved when a quiet room is suddenly filled with music. It is not easy to describe, but sound fills spaces just as liquid does, except that you cannot see it. Your body can sense it though. I also find it fascinating that the word “volume” has two different meanings: the intensity of sound, and the space an object takes up. The fact that one single word links space and sound is interesting architecturally, at least to me, as a non-native English speaker.
Unlike liquid, which is indifferent to the shapes of containers, sound quality is actually very sensitive to its “container” and shaped by it. Many have asked where the form of our Chapel of Sound came from. It is the result of the confluence of many things, even if finding the optimal spatial form for acoustics using one single hard material and no electrical amplification was definitely one of the key driving forces.
The effect of sound is intimately related to the scale of space. The morning chattering of a few swallows outside your bedroom window while you are still in bed might sound noisy and annoying; but the singing of a few birds in a deep valley can instill a sense of serenity and otherworldliness, by contrast, making the valley even quieter and more spacious. Traditional Chinese poems often talk about this effect.
Unlike most concert halls situated in bustling urban settings, the Chapel of Sound is located in a quiet valley far away from traffic and urban noises and so, welcomes external sounds – the symphony of nature – to come inside. A few carefully located openings on the concrete shell serve at least three purposes: visual connection with the mountains and remnants of the Great Wall; sound absorption inside the auditorium; entry of the elements into the interior.
Although the Chapel of Sound is designed as a musical performance space, we spent ample time thinking about the sound of quietness. In today’s noisy, chaotic world, we all long for a place in which to quieten down, hear the voice of nature, and even more importantly, the voice of our own hearts.
We all know that architecture has different temperatures and textures. Sometimes, it is our cognitive ability that links visual cues to actual experiences: a space can feel cold and daunting like an austere personality, or warm and welcoming like a good host, or simply stunning for its unexpected features. In fact, many people feel the irresistible need to touch a special wall surface, a unique piece of material, or a special door handle and feel for themselves. We humans are curious animals; we tend to turn a blind eye to generic or bland things. That is why we focus on the personalities of the spaces we create, and are delighted when our architecture is able to seed moments of surprise and awe in its users.
The temperature and texture palette are important in all our projects. While I never really asked our team to prepare formal palettes, that is how I compose the spaces in my mind’s eye and guide myself through the decision-making processes.
While working on the Qingpu Pinghe International School – a bilingual school in Shanghai for pupils from kindergarten to middle school – we regrouped the functional programs the client had given us and organized the whole campus as a village of unique individual buildings, instead of following the usual mega-structure scholastic configuration. Although not a profitable business approach since the usual single-design commission became several different building designs, it allowed us to create a healthy, diverse, dynamic and lively campus for kids who might have to spend 12 years of their early life in this one school. It also suited the client’s super fast-track construction schedule.
We used various materials to create a palette of diverse textures, including carbonized bamboo panels for the “teaching cubes”, dark grey natural stone for the art center, warm-white prefabricated GRC panels for the lab and admin building, and coarse blue plaster for the “bibilotheater”. One of the largest and heaviest buildings on the campus, the gym, swimming pool and canteen building has been deliberately made to look light and breathable and not an overbearing presence amid its neighbors. The translucent membrane cladding and off-white perforated aluminum panels make it appear like two white bubbles floating above a transparent glass box.
The landscape was also considered an integral part of the campus program. The wetland pond, bamboo forest, small hill, petting zoo, scattered sports fields, and open spaces all work together with the buildings to create a single warm, easy-going entity, a kaleidoscopic internal world inviting pupils to explore and discover.
Caves are a constant source of inspiration in the way we conceive certain spaces. There is something both primordial and timeless about caves. I am mostly interested in the intimate relationship between spatial enclosure and the human body. Caves may also evoke subconscious memories of the womb, our very first home. The human desire to be cradled and protected is deeply wired in our DNA. On the other hand, art in the form of paintings, instruments, dances, etc., can all be traced back to the cave.
When we were asked to design an art space on sand dunes near a beach, we decided to hide the building under them. Although our first aim was to protect the building from the force of the sea, it later turned out that we had inadvertently safeguarded the dunes from real estate development. The building became the UCCA Dune Art Museum, made up of a series of cave-like interconnected cells illuminated by various light cannons above and three oculi facing the ocean.
Going through the building is a full-body experience. The long and relatively dim entrance tunnel compresses your body and prepares you emotionally to calm down. From the reception hall – a dome-shaped space softly lit from above – you move through the various exhibition spaces, guided intuitively by your body, the flow of space and natural light. With the exception of one gallery, the curvilinear geometry creates a seamless continuity between ceiling and wall, with the result that the interior spaces wrap around you gently as you move through them.
While our aim here was to create a sanctuary for visual arts, the Chapel of Sound is a sanctuary for the performing arts. But ultimately, what we have been trying hard to achieve with all our projects is to establish a connection between our bodies, nature and the arts. Our deepest concern with the Chapel of Sound is that on entering its empty, soundless interior – a chapel in such a remote valley will not always have performances – you feel protected and at ease with yourself, in the cradle of
man-made nature and nature itself.
As architects, we mainly work with the physical and the tangible: gravity, material, tectonics, systems, solutions to problems, and so on. Yet, in moments of wonder, the void spaces created by physical architecture can touch people’s souls in profound ways. This is what I feel in the Pantheon, La Tourette, Ronchamp, the Temple of Heaven, and many other buildings – some well-known, some unknown to most. I truly believe that architecture has the power to bridge the outer physical world with our inner emotional and spiritual selves. I am not speaking about the kind of shock-and-awe effect people may get from certain imposing, flashy, futuristic-looking buildings. Rather, of the voids where one feels the passing of time, the movement of light, and ultimately, meanings that one uncovers with a perceptive open mind. Like the intentionally un-inked areas in Chinese landscape drawings, voids carved out of solids are critically important in the Chinese philosophical conception of time and space. Voids are not emptiness, but rather the medium to connect the past with the future, the defined with the infinite. It is an experience that needs our physical – not virtual – presence.
The world is swirling into an extremely complex mess as we speak. Architecture, as a discipline that relates to almost all facets of human life, is in the vortex of complexity as well. How can we not lose ourselves and find meaning in the overflow of information and disinformation? I do not have answers. But I do hope to anchor everything we do back to what makes us human beings: our innate senses, our consciousness, and our ability to imagine and hope. Architecture is our hope.
I will end this essay with images of our Sun Tower project, currently under construction and scheduled for completion by 2024. Under a starry night sky close to a dark sea, the tower stands in solitude like a light tower. Facing the vast ocean and the universe, we humans are neither too great nor too little; we are simply part of it all. We build not only to provide boxes that can shelter people from the weather. We also hope that our architecture can help people get in touch with their deep inner feelings and the symphony of nature. This is our patient search.

Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.

The Brazil Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) Market is a significant and dynamically evolving sector within the country’s defense industry, focusing on the development, production, and procurement of advanced armored vehicles designed to transport and protect military personnel in various operational scenarios. As Brazil seeks to enhance its military capabilities and respond effectively to security challenges, the demand for modern and versatile APCs has increased significantly, positioning the country as a key player in the global APC Market.
The Brazil APC Market encompasses a diverse range of vehicles designed to carry troops, equipment, and supplies while providing enhanced protection against various threats, including small arms fire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and anti-tank weapons. These vehicles play a critical role in supporting military operations, providing mobility, firepower, and survivability to the Brazilian Armed Forces in both conventional and asymmetric warfare environments.
One of the primary applications of APCs in Brazil is in the military sector. Armored Personnel Carriers are the backbone of infantry units, enabling rapid deployment and tactical movement of troops in various terrains. These vehicles are vital for conducting offensive and defensive operations, providing secure transportation for soldiers to engage in combat and respond to emerging threats effectively.
Moreover, the market addresses the role of APCs in disaster relief and internal security operations. In a country susceptible to natural disasters and civil unrest, APCs play a critical role in providing logistical support and safeguarding military personnel during relief efforts and law enforcement operations. These vehicles enhance Brazil’s capacity to respond to emergencies and maintain internal security, safeguarding civilian lives and critical infrastructure.
The Brazil APC Market also caters to the needs of peacekeeping and international missions. As a prominent contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations, Brazil requires APCs that can operate effectively in diverse and challenging environments. These vehicles enable Brazilian peacekeeping forces to fulfill their missions while providing protection and mobility in regions with unpredictable security situations.
The integration of advanced technologies has been instrumental in the development of APCs in Brazil. Research and development efforts concentrate on enhancing vehicle protection, mobility, and communications capabilities. The development of modern APCs often involves collaboration between defense companies, research institutions, and the Brazilian Army, ensuring that the vehicles meet the stringent requirements of Brazil’s military and adapt to evolving security threats.
The export-oriented focus of the Brazil APC Market has expanded its global presence. Brazilian APC technology and defense products have gained international recognition for their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability. Brazil places a high priority on responsible arms trade, ensuring that its APC exports are subject to robust end-user controls and adhere to international arms transfer agreements.
Brazil’s defense industry actively engages in research and development (R&D) activities to advance APC technology continuously. Collaboration between defense contractors, research institutions, and the Brazilian Army fosters innovation and technological advancements in the market. This synergy ensures that APCs produced meet the stringent requirements of the country’s military and adhere to the highest quality and safety standards.
Moreover, the market benefits from Brazil’s expertise in armored vehicle manufacturing, military engineering, and combat vehicle doctrine. Brazilian companies have been at the forefront of developing state-of-the-art APCs, addressing the unique challenges of providing reliable and effective solutions for various defense applications.
Despite the impressive progress and benefits of the Brazil APC Market, challenges remain. One of the primary challenges is the integration of advanced technologies while ensuring cost-effectiveness and affordability. Developing and producing modern APCs can be expensive, particularly when implementing cutting-edge technologies. Ensuring accessibility for the Brazilian Army and potential international customers is essential to promoting the adoption of Brazilian APCs.
Additionally, the market faces challenges related to adapting APCs to urban warfare and asymmetric threats. As military operations evolve, APCs must continually be upgraded to counter emerging threats and ensure the safety and effectiveness of troops in complex operational environments.
Looking ahead, the future of the Brazil APC Market remains promising, driven by continuous research and development efforts, international collaborations, and the increasing demand for modern armored vehicles in defense and security operations. As security challenges evolve, Brazil’s dedication to innovation and technological prowess will solidify its position as a leading player in the global APC Market. The market’s ability to provide efficient and effective APC solutions while addressing emerging challenges will enhance the nation’s defense capabilities, support humanitarian efforts, and contribute to global peacekeeping and stability.


Take a look at this, from Jeff Jarvis’ blog BuzzMachine:
November 5th, 2008
I’m in the Emirates lounge getting ready to fly to Dubai for a World Economic Forum (Davos) meeting of the Global Agenda Councils. I’m on the one devoted to the future of the internet, which is humbling. (Full disclosure: The travel expenses are paid by the airline and the government of Dubai.) I’ll report from there as wifi allows.
Jeff Jarvis is living the good life. (But he’s still humble—he says so himself!) Jeff Jarvis is the very model of a modern new-media guru. Do you know about him? He started out in print media but is now a multiplatform new-media consultant. If you work in media, you probably know his work. If you consume media, you probably should. He’s one of the leading Web futurists, one of the few new-media consultant types who came over from old media. (He was founding editor of Entertainment Weekly.)
After leaving EW in 1990, Jarvis worked as an editor at the New York Daily News and a critic for TV Guide. Then he took to blogging and—eventually—blogging about blogging, and now he can often be found consulting about new media and giving media-futurist speeches to international forums and self-proclaimed new-media “summits.” Recently he has even begun to host international forums and self-proclaimed new-media summits, when not directing J-school programs focused on new media (at the City University of New York) or raking in consulting fees from old-media giants like the New York Times and Advance Publications, the parent company of Condé Nast.
Jeff Jarvis seems to be seeking to be your Marshall McLuhan, and he’s convinced a lot of media corporations to pay him consulting fees to tell them what is happening with these new intertubes—and what should happen.
I used to like Jeff Jarvis: I’ve never met him, but I felt I knew him from his blog, which I’ve read fairly regularly since he began blogging eloquently about 9/11. I’ve often enjoyed his opinions and, especially, his crankiness. I loved what he did to Dell when the company failed to fix his computer: He called it “Dell-Hell” and used his blog to mobilize the Dell-discontented multitudes to make the company pay attention to their “service” pledges. (He must have had flawless service in the Emirates lounge.)
What I liked about his blog was that it was personal and immediate. He’s a natural at the form, with an ability to entwine his life and those of the rest of us in his musings. Here is a guy who literally took 9/11 to heart: He was on a PATH train near Ground Zero that morning and developed atrial fibrillation in the aftermath, a problem that still afflicts him. * He has been outspoken on the issue of anti-Semitism. And I never had a problem with his championing the idea of taking bloggers seriously and using the Web to find a new way of making journalism viable in the 21st century. He was right about the potential of the Net when I was still being a Luddite about it. (After all, I’m a blogger, too, these days.)
But something has changed in the last year or two: He’s now visibly running for New Media Pontificator in Chief. He began treating his own thoughts as profound and epigrammatic, PowerPoint-paradoxical, new-media-mystical. He acquired the habit of proclaiming “Jarvis’ Laws” of new media, acting like a prophet, a John the Baptist if not the messiah. (Although he knows who the messiah is. He’s about to publish a book of Google worship—What Would Google Do?—that makes that clear.)
Meanwhile, he’s become increasingly heartless about the reporters, writers, and other “content providers” who have been put out on the street by the changes in the industry. Not only does he blame the victims, he denies them the right to consider themselves victims. They deserve their miserable fate—and if they don’t know it, he’ll tell them why at great length. Sometimes it sounds as if he’s virtually dancing on their graves.
Consider Jarvis’ response to an essay by Paul Farhi that suggested the current crisis in journalism might not be entirely the fault of journalists. Jarvis parried with a cruel, disdainful rant contending that writers and reporters deserve their fate:
The fall of journalism is, indeed, journalists’ fault. It is our fault that we did not see the change coming soon enough and ready our craft for the transition. It is our fault that we did not see and exploit—hell, we resisted—all the opportunities new media and new relationships with the public presented. It is our fault that we did not give adequate stewardship to journalism and left the business to the business people. It is our fault that we lost readers and squandered trust. It is our fault that we sat back and expected to be supported in the manner to which we had become accustomed by some unknown princely patron. Responsibility and blame are indeed ours.
I have a strong feeling that when he says “we” and “ours,” he really means everyone but him and his fellow new-media gurus. Not all reporters had the prescience to become new-media consultants. A lot of good, dedicated people who have done actual writing and reporting, as opposed to writing about writing and reporting, have been caught up in this great upheaval, and many of them may have been too deeply involved in, you know, content—”subjects,” writing about real peoples’ lives—to figure out that reporting just isn’t where it’s at, that the smart thing to do is get a consulting gig.
But Jarvis believes the failure of the old-media business models is the result of having too many of those pesky reporters. In his report on his recent new-media summit at CUNY, he noted with approval one workshop’s conclusion that you’d need only 35 reporters to cover the entire city of Philadelphia. Less is more. Meta triumphs over matter.
It makes you wonder whether Jarvis has actually done any, you know, reporting. Particularly when he tells you that in doing his book on the total wonderfulness of Google, he decided it would be better not to speak to anyone who works at Google, that instead he’s written about the idea of Google, as he construes it, rather than finding out how they—the actual Google people—construe it. What he’s done, Jarvis claims, is to “reverse-engineer” the reality of Google. This means deducing how Google got to be what it is and do what it does by conjecturing about its effects from the outside.
Allow me to make a conjecture: Did Jarvis sound out Google informally and get rebuffed, prompting him to “decide” he wouldn’t talk to them “on principle”? Of course, I could ask Jarvis about this, but that would be mere “reporting”; it’s more fun to “reverse-engineer” his decision.
Yes, by Jeff Jarvis’ logic, the hardworking reporters now on the street were fools: They didn’t spend their time figuring out how to multiplatform themselves. I think of that guy John Conroy, who wrote about police torture for years for the Chicago Reader, which is now bankrupt and had to let Conroy go just as—after years and years—Conroy’s reporting (100,000 words!) on the subject was vindicated and an official investigation began at last. Dedicated guys who did great work at the dying dailies are being made to feel by Jarvis that they deserve to be downsized. Yet who has the most honor, the men and women who did the work or the media consultants who mock them?
Here are a few excerpts from Jeff Jarvis’ blog over the last month that illustrate his self-congratulatory attitude: First, the demise of a venerable print daily (and the suffering of who knows how many families) causes Jeff Jarvis to reflect on how right Jeff Jarvis was and is and probably always will be:
The Christian Science Monitor is turning off its press and going fully online. I heard about this at my conference on new business models for news last week and said it makes perfect sense.
Next his international audience of Rich Guys Who Want To Understand This Internet Thing calls:
I need to write an essay on a bold goal for the internet for a World Economic Forum (aka Davos) Global Agenda Council on the future of the internet. My thoughts:The internet is a right.I can’t imagine a bolder notion than that. Or maybe it’s not so bold. …
Then we travel with Jarvis to the Frankfurt Book Fair, another example of the downfall of print and the rise of Jarvis:
The Frankfurt convention grounds are also jammed with books from all around the world. What struck me was the optimism of it: all that work to create books on the hope that someone would read them. And they make fun of bloggers for whistling in the wind.I was there on Saturday to speak with Wolfgang Blau, editor-in-chief of Zeit Online for what turned out to be a sizeable audience. …
Note his dim view of the “book people” and their foolish romantic optimism. These poor fools; they might as well be making buggy whips. Sure, they do serve some purpose—merchandizing his book—so it’s good they’re still in the foolish business long enough for him to monetize their death. But otherwise, if they don’t make big profits, dead-tree books are not worth doing, according to the new-media gospel.
Then it’s time for a little self-congratulation while scores lose their jobs:
Sometime ago, I used TV Guide as a cautionary tale to beware the cash cow in the coal mine. How now, said cow—which not long ago sold more copies every year than any other magazine—just sold for $1. Beware media and news companies that try to preserve their past: This could be you. Moo.
(I didn’t make up that “Moo.” That’s new-media wit.)
We can learn more about Jarvis’ ambition to guru-hood by studying his remarkable endorsement of the New Age boilerplate mysticism of Paulo Coelho, which we learn about as he shares with us the exciting experience of his triumph at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
In one of his Frankfurt posts, he discusses a talk given by worldwide best-seller Coelho. * (He claims 100 million books sold.) In his talk, Coelho advocated giving away the digital content of books for free as a means of boosting sales.
“That has certainly been Coelho’s experience,” notes Jarvis (who calls Coelho—I kid you not—”the Googliest author I know”). “Freely available electronic files have led to increased print sales in territory after territory—including the US, where [Coelho’s] The Alchemist has been on the NYT bestseller list for a full year even though it was among the first of his titles to be available online at Harper’s web site.”
Surely Jarvis is intelligent enough to see that the Coelho model won’t work for everyone. Sure, if you break through to New Age guru status and peddle the notion that everyone can discover their own fabulousness (from the jacket of the Alchemest, aka New Age Mysticism for Dummies: “A discovery of the treasure found within”), you’re more likely to have a audience that will support you by buying the hard cover to doubly reaffirm their vanity. (A new definition of “vanity press”?)
But what about a different kind of book? You know—a serious book. I just got in the mail a newly published book by an old friend of mine, Gordon Goldstein. It’s called Lessons in Disaster: McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam, and it’ s likely to reopen still-unresolved debates about why we did what we did and the way we did it. It is, to put it mildly, no less deserving of attention than Coelho’s 100-million-seller. Will publishers pay writers to write serious books like this and then give them away for free?
If Jarvis values books (and I can’t help think that despite all the digital bluster, he’s an intelligent guy who likes reading), do we just listen to the market and focus-group what we should print and give away, which is likely to result in all Coelho, all the time, with maybe a little bit of Jarvis thrown in?
But Jarvis doesn’t seem to recognize distinctions of value. Or to have heard of Gresham’s law. (Trash drives out value.) Listen to his blog reaction to the recent bailout/economic meltdown:
Why wasn’t the government better at listening to the market? Did it ever ask what it should do? That’s not the way government thinks, but it’s the way it should learn to think.
Wait, did I get that right? The government should have “listened to the market,” the same market that created this debacle and came close to destroying the economy? It’s an example of his blind allegiance to the wisdom of the consumer, to quantity over quality and expertise. Everything else is elitism. He’s the Sarah Palin of gurus. The crowd is always right.
But what makes him wined, dined, and comped by Dubai to fly to self-proclaimed summits all over the world? It’s not just that corporations are dumb enough to waste what’s left of stockholders’ money to pay for someone to tell them to “listen to the market.” No, it’s Jarvis’ pretensions to guru-hood, his gnomic “laws” and pronouncements. Firing people on the writing side because of the incompetence of the business side is a long tradition in the media business, and Jarvis gives management a New Age fig leaf with which to shift the blame from their own incompetence.
He offers chestnuts like, “The link changes everything,” “Stuff sucks” (“Nobody wants to be in the business of stuff anymore. … Google’s economy is more appealing”), “Atoms are a drag,” and—yes, his contribution to the “X is the new Y” genre—”Small is the new big.”
Yeah, down with stuff! Let them eat fake. Sleep in buildings not made with atoms. Everyone should be a new-media consultant, and then we won’t need any media at all.
Look, there’s nothing wrong with Jarvis doing all this thinking and decreeing. He’s said some savvy, if unoriginal, things about journalism (advocating looking at the article as an ongoing process, not a product, for instance). He’s among the most rational of the new thinkers. But it’s the callous contempt for working journalists that grates. It’s a contempt for the beautiful losers who actually made journalism an honorable profession for a brief shining moment—well, longer than that—before it became a platform for “reverse engineering.”
Correction, Nov. 12, 2008: This piece originally stated that Jeff Jarvis was living near Ground Zero on 9/11. In fact, he was on a PATH train near Ground Zero that morning.

QUEBEC City has selected Alstom as preferred bidder to design, build and maintain the fleet of low-floor LRVs for the city’s $C 3.96.bn ($US 2.9bn) light rail project.
The company was the only manufacturer to progress to the final stage of the tendering process after Siemens withdrew in 2022.
The original call for tenders was for a turnkey contract to design, build and equip the entire 19.3km line, which is planned to run from east to west across the city with 29 stops. However, the process was paused in June 2021 after only one company submitted a bid. Tendering was subsequently divided into two contracts - one for infrastructure design and construction for which submissions are still being assessed, and the other for the new LRV fleet.
Quebec City has specified 43m long bi-directional LRVs taking traction current from overhead catenary in view of the city’s long and cold winters. Alstom says the vehicles will be designed at its St-Bruno-de-Montarville site in Montreal and manufactured at the former Bombardier plant at La Pocatière in Quebec province. The contract will include maintaining the LRVs for 30 years under the supervision of Quebec City public transport authority, Capital Transport Network (RTC).
Canadian prime minister, Mr Justin Trudeau, announced in August 2019 a $C 1.2bn federal commitment to improving public transport in Quebec City, including building the new light rail line. After a long series of delays, city mayor Mr Bruno Marchand announced in April 2022 he was ready to get the light rail project rolling, in order to reduce pollution from road traffic and encourage modal shift.
Over 75% of the 19.3km light rail line route will be segregated from road traffic, but with the LRVs having priority at road junctions, and an 1.8km section will run under the city centre in tunnel. Construction is expected to take five years to complete and the line is due to open in 2028.

WEEEEE!!! That is how I go down water slides! Just like Tom Brady! Recap of yesterday’s work: We officially signed Ogemdi Nqagbuo and brought in kicker Nick Novak to fill in for Nate Kaeding. In order to make room on the roster, the team cut CJ Wallace and we placed Kaeding on the IR. It’s Patriots Hate Week!
Enjoy the dump:
The San Diego Chargers signed kicker Nick Novak
to a two-year contract on Tuesday and placed Nate Kaeding
on season-ending injured reserve, the team announced.
In targeting Novak and then choosing him over two more experienced kickers in their quest to replace Nate Kaeding
, the Chargers are focusing on what Novak has done since his last official shot in the NFL.
SAN DIEGO — Veteran kicker Nick Novak
agreed Tuesday to a two-year contract with the San Diego Chargers to replace the injured Nate Kaeding
Last game vs. Chargers: The Patriots won 23-20 in Week 7 of the 2010 season. Replacement kicker Kris Brown
missed a 50-yard field goal with 23 seconds left, which allowed New England to secure the victory. The Chargers fumbled four times and lost three, continuing a season-long trend of turning the ball over.
It’s finally time to sort through and break down the Patriots’ first full game plan of the 2011 season. It obviously worked well against the Dolphins, so let’s crack out the microscope and see how it unfolded in Miami for the first Two-Minute Drill of the regular season.

The Pros of Neutering a Cocker Spaniel
#1 Health Benefits:
Reducing the risk of testicular cancer and prostate issues:
Keeping your cocker spaniel healthy is essential. Taking good care of them can stop significant health issues later on. If you have a boy cocker spaniel and get them neutered, it can lower the chances of them getting certain cancers or prostate problems.
Neutering means they remove the parts that can get sick so they won’t get those kinds of cancers. Plus, it helps ensure they don’t have problems with their prostate, which can make them feel bad. Looking out for your cocker spaniel’s health and thinking about getting them neutered can make them happier and let them live a longer, better life as your particular dog.”
Helping girl dogs avoid having unexpected puppy litter is essential. When girl dogs have puppies without planning, it can lead to lots of trouble. These troubles can make the mom dog and her puppies sick. If you have your girl dog spayed, a vet removes the parts that let her have puppies. This stops those problems from happening. It keeps her healthier and happier. It’s an excellent method to ensure she doesn’t become a mom when you don’t want her to. Caring for your girl dog like this is a clever choice that keeps her safe and feeling great.
#2 Behavioral Advantages
Reduction in aggressive behaviors
Neutering plays a significant role in handling aggression by changing the hormones inside a dog’s body; neutering can make their behavior more balanced. This often leads to cocker spaniels that are calmer and less likely to get aggressive.
Research and watching dogs have taught us that neutering is good at reducing different kinds of aggression. When dogs get too protective of their spaces (territorial aggression) or act bossy (dominance-related behaviors), neutering can help make these behaviors smaller. It can even calm down certain types of attacks because of mating instincts.
Neutering’s effect on aggressive behaviors can create a happier atmosphere for the dog and the family. It helps dogs be safer around other dogs and people, making social interactions more positive.
Minimization of mating urges and associated problems
The need to mate can cause trouble for both dogs and their owners. These feelings can make a dog restless, worried, and sometimes even mean. Neutering does a big job of solving these issues. It stops these feelings by undergoing surgery that changes how the dog’s body works. This often makes the dog calmer and less focused on those urges.
Neutering is good at making those vital mating-related behaviors in dogs smaller. This means they won’t bark too much, try to run away to find a mate, or act mean because of these strong feelings.
When you neuter your cocker spaniel, you’re helping them become more relaxed and happy. Without the potent mating hormones, they’ll listen to you better and do what you say. This strengthens your bond with your dog and makes everyone safer and happier at home.”
#3 Population Control and Ethical Considerations
Addressing dog overpopulation issues
Having too many dogs is a big worry because some animals don’t have homes or families. Neutering helps with this problem. It stops more puppies from being born, which means there won’t be as many dogs that need a home.
Neutering also shows that you’re doing the right thing. When you neuter your cocker spaniel, you’re preventing them from accidentally having babies. This helps lots of animals avoid being sad or left behind. It’s like taking care of them right from the start.
Neutering matches with being a good and caring dog owner. It’s an intelligent way to ensure there aren’t too many dogs and each dog gets a lovely home. It’s like being kind and helpful to all animals.
#4 Economic Benefits
Avoiding costs of potential pregnancies
Neutering your cocker spaniel isn’t only good for their health and a smart choice for your wallet. When a dog has surprise puppies, it brings unexpected costs. You might have to pay for vet visits during the pregnancy, and caring for the puppies adds extra expenses.
Neutering your dog prevents these surprise bills. It stops them from becoming parents, so you don’t need to worry about unexpected pregnancy costs. This helps you manage your money and concentrate on giving your dog the best care without financial stress.”
“Neutering your cocker spaniel also saves you money in the long run. As dogs age, they might have problems with their reproductive parts that could need medical help. Female dogs can get infections or cancers in those areas, while male dogs might have private parts or prostate issues.
When you neuter your dog, you lower the chance of these health problems. This means you’ll have to visit the vet less and have fewer medical bills in the future. It’s like putting money into your dog’s health piggy bank. You get to keep more money for other essential things.”
#5 Longer Lifespan
Studies showcasing longevity in neutered dogs
Getting your cocker spaniel neutered can help them live longer and stay healthier. Studies have shown that neutered dogs often live longer than those who aren’t fixed.
Research has consistently found that neutering is linked to dogs living longer lives. Neutered dogs have a lower chance of having specific health problems, like cancers or infections in their private parts. These problems can make dogs feel bad, but neutering helps avoid them. This means neutering can make dogs feel better and live longer.
Even though every dog is different, various studies show that neutering can lead to a happier and longer life for your cocker spaniel. Remember, talking to your vet is a good idea to know how neutering can make your dog healthier and live longer.
#6 Community Advantages
Reduced strays and associated problems
Getting your cocker spaniel neutered doesn’t just help them; it’s good for the whole community. When dogs have babies and those babies don’t have homes, they can end up as stray dogs. Stray dogs can cause problems like accidents, loud noises, and sometimes even hurting people or other animals.
When you neuter your dog, you’re doing something to have fewer strays. If there are fewer puppies, there will be fewer dogs with homes. This makes the community safer and friendlier for everyone.
Strengthening community dog management efforts
Neutering helps make your neighborhood more excellent for dogs and people. When dogs get neutered, they’re less likely to wander, fight, or cause trouble. This makes things easier for the local leaders and groups that look after dogs.
When you neuter your cocker spaniel, you do your part to improve the community. Dogs are happier, and people enjoy a calm and peaceful place. It’s like being a friendly neighbor, making the whole neighborhood a better and more comfortable home for everyone.”
The Cons of Neutering a Cocker Spaniel
#1 Potential Health Challenges
While neutering can have benefits, being aware of potential risks is essential.
Potential risks associated with the surgery
Neutering has its good sides, but it’s wise to know about possible problems. Even though it’s common, the surgery can bring some risks. Like any surgery, there’s a slight chance of infection, not feeling well after anesthesia, or other issues during or after the surgery.
These risks can be negligible if you team up with a good vet. Picking a vet who knows what they’re doing and following their advice after the surgery can make problems less likely and help your cocker spaniel get better smoothly.
Hormonal imbalances and associated health issues
Neutering changes the hormones in a dog’s body, making things a bit unbalanced. Hormones are like body messengers and help dogs grow and stay healthy. Changing them can also affect how a dog’s body works and how they look.
Neutered dogs might tend to put on weight, which can cause problems like joint pains and diabetes. They might also see changes in their coat’s texture and appearance. Cocker spaniels, who usually have pretty fur, might notice their hair isn’t the same.
Working with your vet is essential to handle these possible health worries. You can help your neutered cocker spaniel stay healthy by changing their diet, giving them exercise, and keeping an eye on their weight.”
#2 New Personality
The debate on neutering and its impact on a dog’s personality
When you’re considering neutering, it’s good to know how it might change behavior. Some dogs become friendlier, but there’s an extensive discussion about whether neutering changes a dog’s personality.
People who have dogs share different stories. Some say neutering makes dogs calmer and more pleasant, while others say their dog’s energy levels or actions change slightly. But remember, every dog is unique so that experiences can differ for each one.
Instances of increased anxiety or fearfulness post-neuter
Sometimes, neutering can make dogs more worried or fearful. Even though neutering is meant to help balance things and make certain behaviors better, there have been times when dogs feel more anxious or scared after the surgery.
But it’s important to know that not all dogs go through this. It can depend on how the dog acts, where they live, and how they feel overall. Talking to a vet before neutering your cocker spaniel is an intelligent idea. They can advise you on how neutering might affect your furry friend.
#3 Cost of the Procedure
The immediate financial burden of the surgery
Neutering has a downside when it comes to money. The surgery costs money because it involves things like anesthesia, tools for surgery, vet visits, and looking after the dog after the surgery. This can be a sudden expense for dog owners.
The amount of money can change depending on where you go to the vet, where you live, and if any extra things are needed. It’s wise to keep this in mind when you’re planning your money.
Potential follow-up treatments or complications
Neutering, like any other surgery, might have problems or need extra care later. Most of the time, neutering goes well, but sometimes dogs can have troubles while healing or after the surgery.
Sometimes, dogs need more help from the doctor, which means more money. It’s essential to know this might happen and to be ready in case there’s extra money needed.”
#4 Ethical Concerns
The natural lifecycle argument
When discussing the downsides of neutering, we also consider what’s right and wrong. Some say that neutering doesn’t fit how dogs are meant to live. They think neutering changes things like having babies and naturally experiencing life.
This idea says that neutering might not be suitable for dogs and could change their identity. It makes us wonder if it’s okay to change something that’s a big part of how dogs are meant to live.”
Potential psychological impacts on the dog
Some people also think about what’s suitable for neutered dogs’ feelings. They worry that neutering might make dogs feel not so good emotionally. Even though neutering can help with certain behaviors, there are times when dogs might feel different in their minds.
For example, neutering can change hormones that affect how dogs feel and act. Some dogs might become more nervous, shy, or sad after getting neutered. This makes us wonder if it’s okay to do something that could affect how happy and mentally healthy a dog is
#5 Impact on Dog’s Physical Appearance
Potential changes in coat texture and quality
Another thing to consider with neutering is how it can change a dog’s appearance. Neutering makes a dog’s coat different. This might worry people with cocker spaniels because they’re known for having lovely fur.
After neutering, a dog’s fur might feel different or look different. Some dogs might have hair that’s thicker or thinner, a different color, or feel different. Not all neutered dogs will have these changes, but it’s something to consider, especially if your dog’s fur is special or unique.”
Weight gain concerns
Neutering Spaniels can sometimes make dogs gain weight. When dogs get neutered, some might start to burn calories slower, so they can put on weight more quickly. This can cause worries about problems like joint pains and diabetes that happen because of being too heavy.
It’s essential to help your neutered cocker spaniel stay at a good weight. This means giving them the right food, ensuring they get enough exercise, and not giving them too much to eat. Working with your vet is an excellent way to keep an eye on this and ensure your dog stays healthy and looks good.
#6 Breeding Considerations
Loss of potential lineage and genetics
Another thing to think about with neutering is how it affects making puppies. Neutering means a dog can’t be a parent. For folks who want their dog’s extraordinary things to show up in more dogs later, neutering can be tricky.
If your cocker spaniel is special or comes from a family with strong genes, neutering can mean those good things won’t go to the next dog generation. It’s like a missing puzzle piece in the dog family tree, and if you want to make new dogs, this can be a downside.”
Challenges for those wishing to breed responsibly
Some people want to make new dogs carefully and intelligently. They think about a dog’s health, how they act, and what they’re like to ensure the new puppies are healthy and happy.
Neutering is one of the crucial things to consider before purchasing a Cocker Spaniel. When dogs are neutered, it’s tough to make a good plan for making puppies with all the right qualities. It’s like a door closing on the chance to carefully choose dogs that match up well and make future dogs even better.
Beyond Pros and Cons of Neutering a Cocker Spaniel
Choosing whether to neuter your cocker spaniel is crucial to balance the pros and cons carefully. By weighing the benefits, like improved health and behavior, against the potential drawbacks, such as changes in appearance and breeding considerations, you can make an informed choice that suits your dog and your preferences.
Throughout this decision-making process, consulting with veterinarians and breed experts is paramount. Their knowledge and experience can offer valuable insights tailored to your dog’s needs and breed characteristics. They can guide on health implications, behavioral changes, and the potential impact on breeding.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
At what age should I consider neutering my Cocker Spaniel?
Neutering can be considered between 6 to 12 months of age. Consult your veterinarian to determine the optimal timing based on your dog’s health, growth rate, and behavior. Early neutering may prevent certain health issues and undesirable behaviors.
How long is the recovery period post-neutering?
The recovery period for a neutered Cocker Spaniel typically lasts between 10 to 14 days. It’s important to note that the exact duration can vary based on several factors. The age of your dog plays a role, as younger dogs might recover more quickly than older ones. Additionally, the overall health of your Cocker Spaniel can influence how swiftly they bounce back from the surgery.

Last night (Sun., Feb. 19, 2012) in Milwaukee, Daniel Bryan won the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match to retain the world heavyweight championship after submitting Santino Marella.
And Sheamus immediately made his way down to the ring to lay him out.
This, of course, makes official that Sheamus has chosen Daniel Bryan to challenge for the world heavyweight title at WrestleMania 28 on April 1 in Miami, Florida. And to think, they were the dark match at WrestleMania 27 last year.
This comes as no surprise, really, considering the ongoing feud between CM Punk and Chris Jericho, which continued after last night's show in the form of a promo from the latter in an interview with WWE.com.
A program between Bryan and Sheamus works well considering the current character portrayal of both guys. Bryan is still the weasel heel champion who constantly finds a way to sneak away with his title while Sheamus is the powerhouse babyface who bludgeons his opponents into submission.
In fact, they had a match on Smackdown just this past week that saw Bryan win via disqualification after taunting Sheamus into going overboard. I imagine that's largely the way the feud will play out going forward.
What's really interesting, though, is whether or not Randy Orton will find his way into the match to make it a triple threat. The idea of the second biggest babyface on the entire roster having nothing to do at the biggest show of the year is entirely unacceptable. That may not mean he'll find his way into the world title match but there's plenty of reason to believe WWE won't be exactly comfortable having Sheamus vs. Bryan on its own.
Orton's health is a factor, of course, as he's apparently dealing with a concussion. There's plenty of time for him to recover by WrestleMania, though, so speculation regarding his place in all this is fair game until we see otherwise.
Sheamus vs. Bryan (and maybe Orton) at WrestleMania 28, Cagesiders. What do you think?

Rosengren Lab - Peptide structural biology
Bioactive peptides are important molecules produced by all forms of life. Our overall research focus lies in the understanding of how structural features of bioactive peptides guide their function and how we can manipulate these to alter selectivity for various targets or increase their stability, with the ultimate aim being the development of novel peptide based therapeutics. Peptides being studied in our group originate from a wide range of sources, including bacteria, plants, animals and humans. They also have a broad range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, insecticidal and hormonal signaling. The main techniques used in our laboratory are peptide synthesis, chromatography, mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, for production, purification and structural characterization of peptides.

This grain salad basically consists of 3 ingredients: barley, kale, and plums. It’s ready in 5 minutes but still, it is the perfect salad for a little freestyle-cooking in your kitchen. In case you don’t have any leftover barley in the fridge but bulgur or rice: Go ahead and substitute. Any cooked grain works well here. Couscous, millet, barley, bulgur, rice … you name it. You are not the biggest fan of kale? Honestly, who is (except me recently…)? Use swiss chard or collard greens instead. Plums are your least favorite fruit ever? No worries, you can substitute any other fall fruit like apples, pears, or even a roasted pumpkin (<– this actually does taste great). Dried cranberries make a great addition too.
Ok, now that I have told you how to make a totally different salad by substituting everything, I am asking you: Please, try this super delicious grain-kale-plum salad first and, in case you don’t love it, go ahead and substitute your favorite ingredients.
As you may notice, this salad only yields one big serving. I usually eat lunch home alone – ok, it’s not as sad as it sounds – since right now I am working from a home office. Hello, fridge within 5 feet of reach. So, if there are any leftover grains, there is usually some of it, but not an awful lot, which make it a great 1-person lunch. If you are planning to make this grain salad for more than one person, please check the note in the recipe part below for instructions.
Crunchy salad topping
By the way: Do not omit the topping. It adds such a great crunchy texture. I love it even more, when I roast the pumpkin seeds and almonds right before serving. You just have to put the pumpkin seeds and coarsely chopped almonds in a pan without oil and roast them over medium heat for a few minutes. You can use any seeds and nuts like sunflower seeds, walnuts, or pecans. Ok, I am adapting my own recipes while I am writing them down. I have to stop now. The recipe below is really, really great – do not adapt it ;-)
