After decades of the American office building being dominate, in the last twelve years we have observed a gradual but major shift from office use to residential and mixed-use for Tall Buildings, and from North America to Asia. The turn of the millennium has also seen major changes in the use of buildings in cities having the longest experience with Tall Buildings. Chicago is witnessing a series of office buildings being transformed into residential or mixed-use buildings, a phenomenon also occurring on a large scale in New York. In midtown Manhattan of New York City we note the transformation of major hotels into residential projects. The transformation of landmark projects in midtown New York City is making an impact, but it is not at all comparable to the number of new projects being built in Asia. When conceiving new projects, we should perhaps bear in mind that, in due time, these will also experience major shifts in uses and we should plan for this in advance.

  • “The Essays in This Edited Work Shed Light on the Undeniable Intersection Between Religion and Eth- Ics in Society by Challeng
    “The essays in this edited work shed light on the undeniable intersection between religion and eth- ics in society by challenging readers to understand how we should move forward for the betterment of human existence. Religious ethical values can make or break a political candidate’s chance for election or reelection; religious ethical values can influence and mobilize large and small humani- tarian relief organizations to intervene at a local and/or global scale; religious ethical values can lead to laws that recognize the rights of alienated minorities; religious ethical values can expose the crimes of the capitalist system; religious ethical values can create awareness for a more conscien- tious use of natural resources and the preservation of our world. These essays offer an investigation on these and other issues and a place for us to reflect critically on where we are today.” —Lourdes Rincón, PhD, Xavier University of Louisiana “Paul Myhre has assembled an impressive collection of essays from scholars working at the inter- section of social justice advocacy and theological inquiry. Students will appreciate the accessibility and contemporary relevance of each chapter, while professors will welcome the breadth of topics discussed and the clarity of their organization. Scholars of religion will value the critical insights offered on subjects as diverse as the communal impact of HIV/AIDS, the ethics of food production and consumption, religion and violence, and the alarming extent to which the media and social networks govern our daily lives. This volume is a timely and important exploration of the tech- nological, environmental, and social issues that have come to define the early twenty-first century.

You have experienced an injury to your brain, that has caused you to be “concussed”. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull. It usually takes a little while for the brain to recover from a concussion but in most cases there are no lasting symptoms or ill effects. This is because the brain is surrounded by shock absorbing liquid and covered by the skull. Often these are enough to protect the brain from damage. Sometimes the force of impact is more severe. This can cause the skull to break or fracture. When the skull fractures this absorbs some of the force of the blow and protects the brain. When the head is hit the brain may be shaken around inside the skull.

  • “Bitch” in Russia
    Being a “Bitch” in Russia: Construction of the New Female Identity in the Popular Psychology Self-Help Discourses By Maria Karepova Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Professor Allaine Cerwonka Budapest, Hungary 2007 Abstract This thesis focuses on the investigation of the construction of an alternative model of female identity produced in the new series of self-help books that emerged in contemporary Russia and that teach women how to become a “bitch” in order to achieve success in every aspect of life. Using a method of discourse analysis, I explore how this type of literature functions in the contemporary Russian context and how dominant discourses of femininity and ideas about women’s power are being (re)defined and contested in these books. Even though the “bitch”-books do not challenge the existing patriarchal system of power relations, sustain and reinforce gender stereotypes, reproduce discourses on individualism and consumerism, nevertheless through specific features of the proposed identity these books represent an attempt to deal with important issues in contemporary Russian society. They offer a positive image of women’s power which contests popular accusations of women as “too emancipated” and as responsible for the emasculation of Russian men today. The books provide a “solution” for existing gender inequality, redefine the conventional understanding of male/female relationship to make it compatible with contemporary context and let women participate in the contemporary capitalist society with its glamour and temptations. CEU eTD Collection ii Acknowledgements I want to thank my wonderful supervisor Allaine Cerwonka for providing insightful criticisms and being a great inspiration and a guide for me in the maze of challenges of putting together this thesis.
