Es ist Dein Arger

Год издания: 0000
Wir alle werden von unangenehmen Gefuhlen wie Arger, Eifersucht, Neid, Wut usw. geplagt und mochten diese meist gerne loswerden. Wenn wir Menschen wie den Dalai Lama erleben, der Schlimmes erlebt hat und doch so ausgeglichen wirkt, konnen wir sehen, dass wir offenbar diesen Gefuhlen nicht zwingend ausgeliefert sein mussen. Die Autorin Thubten Chodron zeigt hilfreiche Wege aus tibetisch-buddhistischer Tradition auf, um mit schwierigen Umstanden und Gefuhlen umgehen zu lernen – auf andere Weise, als wir es gewohnt sind. Es ist moglich, sich von Arger und vielen weiteren plagenden Emotionen zu befreien, doch nicht dadurch, dass wir die Dinge verandern, sondern indem wir eine andere Haltung dazu finden. Anstatt standig zu kampfen, konnen wir lernen, zu einem unerschutterlichen inneren Frieden zu finden und in Harmonie mit uns selbst und unserer Umwelt zu leben.

Made by Robots. Challenging Architecture at a Larger Scale
Автор: Matthias Kohler
Год издания:
In the next decade or so, the widespread adoption of robotics is set to transform the construction industry: building techniques will become increasingly automated both on- and off-site, dispensing with manual labour and enabling greater cost and operational efficiencies. What unique opportunities, however, does robotics afford beyond operational effectiveness explicitly for the practice of architecture? What is the potential for the serial production of non-standard elements as well as for varied construction processes? In order to scale up and advance the application of robotics, for both prefabrication and on-site construction, there needs to be an understanding of the different capabilities, and these should be considered right from the start of the design and planning process. This issue of AD showcases the findings of the Architecture and Digital Fabrication research module at the ETH Zurich Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore, directed by Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler, which explores the possibilities of robotic construction processes for architecture and their large-scale application to the design and construction of high-rise buildings. Together with other contributors, such as Philippe Morel, Neri Oxman, Francois Roche and Antoine Picon, they also look at the far-reaching transformations starting to occur within automated fabrication: in terms of liberation of labour, entrepreneurship, the changing shape of building sites, in-situ fabrication and, most significantly, design. Contributors: Thomas Bock, Jelle Feringa, Philippe Morel, Neri Oxman, Antoine Picon and Francois Roche. ETH Zurich contributors: Michael Budig, Norman Hack, Willi Lauer and Jason Lim and Raffael Petrovic (Future Cities Laboratory), Volker Helm, Silke Langenberg and Jan Willmann. Featured entrepreneurs: Greyshed, Machineous, Odico Formwork Robotics, RoboFold and ROB Technologies.
Margery’s Story: Heroism, heartache and happiness in the wartime women’s forces
Автор: Duncan Barrett
Год издания:
From the bestselling authors of The Sugar Girls and GI Brides, this is Margery’s story, one of three true accounts from the book The Girls Who Went to War.“‘Who does that man think he is?’ Margery muttered to a girl standing next to her. The words had slipped out before she could stop herself, but she realised, to her horror, that the warrant officer had heard them. ‘What was that?’ he demanded, striding over and fixing her with an angry stare. Margery gulped – but there was no going back now.”In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone against Germany. The British Army stood at just over one and a half million men, while the Germans had three times that many, and a population almost twice the size of ours from which to draw new waves of soldiers. Clearly, in the fight against Hitler, manpower alone wasn’t going to be enough.Margery Pott signed up for the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, leaving her quiet home for the rigours of training, the camaraderie of the young women who worked together so closely and to face a war that would change her life forever.Overall, more than half a million women served in the armed forces during the Second World War. This book tells the story of just one of them. But in her story is reflected the lives of hundreds of thousands of others like them – ordinary girls who went to war, wearing their uniforms with pride.
