Eastgate Centre, Harare
The Eastgate Centre is a shopping centre and office block in central Harare, Zimbabwe whose architect is Mick Pearce. Designed to be ventilated and cooled by entirely natural means, it was probably the first building in the world to use natural cooling to this level of sophistication. It opened in 1996 on Robert Mugabe Avenue and Second Street, and provides 5,600 m² of retail space, 26,000 m² of office space and parking for 450 cars. Designing for thermal control The Eastgate Centre's design is a deliberate move away from the "big glass block". Glass office blocks are typically expensive to maintain at a comfortable temperature, needing substantial heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. They tend to recycle air, in an attempt to keep the expensively conditioned atmosphere inside, leading to high levels of air pollution in the building. Artificial air-conditioning systems are high-maintenance, and Zimbabwe has the additional problem that the original system and most spare parts have to be imported, squandering foreign exchange reserves. Mick Pearce, the architect...

Věra Sosnarová
Věra Sosnarová (* 5. květen 1931 Brno) je česká občanka, která byla ve věku 14 let spolu se svou matkou a 9letou sestrou 17. května 1945 podle svých slov odvlečena sovětskou tajnou službou NKVD do ruského pracovního tabora na Sibiři. Její tvrzení se však nepodařilo prokázat ani úředníkům ČSSZ, ani historikům. Únos, pracovní tábory a návrat Věra se svou sestrou byly uneseny na základě toho, že jejich matka Ljuba Šímová roku 1922 uprchla před doznívající ruskou občanskou válkou do Československa. V pracovních táborech, dolech, kolchozech atd. strávily celkem 19 let (od konce roku 1945 do léta 1964). Jejich matka přežila v pracovním táboře jen 3 měsíce, zemřela v noci z 5. ledna na 6. ledna 1946. Roku 1964 ji i se sestrou na přímluvu předsedy jednoho ruského kolchozu propustili do JZD Znojmo, kam docestovaly na počátku roku 1965. Po návratu Při odjezdu ze Sovětského svazu i při příjezdu do vlasti musela podepsat úplnou mlčenlivost o svém osudu a z obavy o opětovné…

A while ago I wrote about the week I spent in Armenia. See 2019-06-01 Armenia. Once we had reached the northern frontier to Georgia, we left our Armenian tour guide behind, walked through the border control and started a one week trip through Georgia. What follows are my impressions, and a link to some pictures.

Ten Years of Erlang
For my ten years in the Erlang community, I decided to cover a few topics such as hype phases and how this related to Erlang, the ladder of ideas within the language and how that can impact adoption, what changed in my decade there, and what I think Erlang still has to bring to the programming community at large.

Zardulu
Zardulu the Mythmaker is a performance artist based in New York City. Her real identity is shrouded in mystery, but she rose to prominence after several of her performance pieces went viral as hoax videos in 2015 and 2016. These videos included "Selfie Rat", "Three Eyed Fish", and others. The New York Times published an article discussing Zardulu's process and the nature of the videos themselves. Additionally, the Huffington Post ran an investigative article discussing the possibility that Zardulu herself might well be a hoax invented by one of the "actors" in her videos. In Fall 2018, TRANSFER, a New York gallery, will host an exhibition of the artist's work at 321 Canal Street in collaboration with Wallplay and Vibes Studios' ON CANAL project. References ...
