It's a fine day, a fine day and the woman and her son are striding out across the park, are heading for the cliffs, for the blue of the ocean. See how quickly they move. How tall the woman is, how long her legs. She's walking quickly not because she's in a hurry, but because she can, this is how she likes to walk. And her son, he's only a child, five or maybe six, tall for his age, he's working hard, almost running to keep up with his mother. But he likes to run, anyone can see that, watch the way he dashes past her then trots back, grinning and panting, rounding her up like a dog.\nThey're alike, this mother and her son. Note the resemblance as they power across the green: both long-limbed and golden, their bright eyes and easy smiles. See how confident they are--arms swinging, heads held high--and how comfortable they seem together, how content.\nAs she walks the woman is thinking, oh, not about anything in particular, just vague images, inconsequential and fleeting. She is thinking: I hope Kevin's not late for dinner tonight. An early night. She is thinking: Must call Mum. Two weeks. She'll be edgy. She is thinking: Oh, spring! The afternoon sun. The breeze. The watermelon smell of the sea! She is thinking: What it is to be here! What luck!\nAnd her boy? He's running hard uphill, not a dog now, but a plane. He's rocketing along with his arms out through long grass that swishes against his knees. He's weaving in and out, narrowly missing trees, a bin. He's screwing up his eyes against the sun, against the rushing wind of his speed. He's going all the way up and at the top he's ready--has found his target. He's taking aim, counting down. Three, two, one, zero. Bombs away. He's making that sound that boys make: a screeching sort of whistle that descends then explodes, reverberates. Ground zero.\n

The moment the second plane crashed into the World Trade Center in New York on September 11 in 2001, Kwek Leng Beng knew the world he had lived in in the past 60 years would change forever. Travel would never be the same again, hospitality would be shaken at its roots and thick red lines would be drawn between civilisations. Business and development, especially his, would have to adapt to a brand new normal. What he did not bargain for was the possibility for tragedy to hit a lot closer to his home and heart…

Impossible Orchestra · Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information (Royal Gardens Kew)

This is a recording that was done the weekend after the 9/11 attack. It was an attempt to unload my intense frustration into an art project. The art project eventually became this 45 minute music suite. The whole project, done in the same improvised style as the first Impossible Orchestra project, was completed in about 4 days. The last song, "News Anchor" was recorded after Dan Rather's appearance on Letterman, in which they both spontaneously burst into tears.

This project speculates how the conception and production of the architectural artifact might respond to the profound transition and convergence of biological sciences and electronic technologies.The thesis is a study of how one might investigate and implement systemic methods, relational strategies and natural phenomena into the process of design and how one might look at the architectural artifact as a biological phenomena and architecture as a magnificent contrivance of the natural world.

Philip Pettit · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2018

Ground zero is the condition in the society addressed—“Erewhon,” in a familiar acronym of “nowhere”—before the advent of moral or ethical concepts and practices. In this society, we, the inhabitants, use natural language to make reports to one another on ourselves and our environment and, being want a reputation for telling the truth, we generate a norm of careful and truthful reporting. But reports may be excused in two epistemic ways: by invoking a misleading or a changed environment. And it is striking that, while we may report on our attitudes—our individual, internal environments—we do not avow or pledge them. An avowal would foreclose the misleading-mind excuse, as we human beings might be expected to be able to do in view of our alleged capacity for self-knowledge. And a pledge would foreclose the changed-mind excuse as well, as might seem to be possible in view of our alleged capacity for self-control.

Ground Zero is a home page with all the necessities a student needs ranging from calendars to programs and much more! This homepage focuses on students and allows them to organize their due dates and campus events. On this site, users can search topics for their courses or any questions they may have without having to leave the page. Our search engine checks the cache first to see if a search result was stored; if not, it breaks down the search then uses Python to generate our results page. This results page is then sent back, loaded as an HTML page, and displayed for the user. To make it even easier on students, Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) is added to the home page. With a click, it connects to the user’s Virtual Machine (VM) and there the user will have the programs they need for their courses. When this feature was added, a network was also created to host these VMs and the homepage. Currently our network contains a Windows XP VM, an Ubuntu VM, a switch, and a router.
