![]() ![]() Tito cast the creation of postwar Yugoslavia as a liberation from fascism, class oppression, and underdevelopment. Urban Planning Institute of Belgrade, Belgrade Master Plan, 1949–50. The historical period of the exhibition spans from Yugoslav dictator Josip Broz Tito’s postwar break with Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union, to his death in 1980, an event that precipitated a series of political crises that ultimately led to the bitter breakup of the federation in the early 1990s. Far from indulging in rose-tinted retrospection, however, the curators - Martino Stierli 1 and Vladimir Kulić with Anna Katz - offer a rigorous and eye-opening survey of a body of architectural work produced in parallel with, and in service to, the very formation of the nation of Yugoslavia, a socialist federation that was forged from the crucible of World War II and disintegrated in bloody conflict a mere 50 years later. It’s no wonder that Cubans of a certain age might look back and compare those days favorably to the present.Ī comparable nostalgia for a socialist past overlays the groundbreaking exhibition “Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948-1980,” now on view at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. in 1991, and the loss of Soviet patronage, plunged Castro’s Cuba into an excruciating poverty that crippled the state infrastructure and fomented political disillusion, and from which the country has not fully recovered. All evidence suggested that the Cuban socialist experiment was succeeding, and that international socialism was truly the wave of the future. Friends of mine who grew up in Cuba in the 1970s and ’80s remember fondly the time when the country’s educational system was superb, the health care system was the envy of the world, and the planned economy sustained a standard of living that got better every year. Many a Cuban will also wax nostalgic for the decades that followed the triumphant revolution in 1959. The hotel, the management tells me, is kept full by wealthy Russians who come to Cuba to bask in the sun and indulge in nostalgia for an era when the Soviet Union was at the height of its power, the Eastern Bloc was leading the space race, and Soviet imperial influence extended all the way to the warm Caribbean. Each suite is named for a Soviet cosmonaut, and the principal salon is decorated with vintage photographs of Russian spacecraft and celebrities, including Laika, the dog who orbited the globe aboard Sputnik 2. It has since then been meticulously restored as a boutique hotel, with appointments more lavish than the original and tricked out with Soviet space-age memorabilia. ![]() When I first visited the site, in 2002, the building was an abandoned shell, an eerie relic. Designed in 1974 by Antonio Quintana - Fidel Castro’s favorite architect - the daring concrete structure was built as a rest and relaxation retreat for Russian cosmonauts and military brass. Installation view, Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980 Ĭasa de los Cosmonautas cantilevers dramatically over the powdery white sands of Cuba’s fabled Varadero beach. A new exhibition documents an extraordinary architectural legacy that has been neglected by mainstream historians. The republic of Yugoslavia lasted barely half a century. ![]()

![]() ![]() I’ve already dialoged with the developer over this and we haven’t figured it out yet and I’m not sure whether it is a Mavericks Finder issue or a TotalFinder issue. ![]() Problems I’ve Run Into: Lagging When Re-Arranging Tags in Sidebar I don’t like this because I lose track of where I am, and would prefer a new window. With TotalFinder, it opens that folder in a Tab. If you command click on a file (in the finder, in search results, or on the dock) it will open the folder that holds that file in the Finder. I wish TotalFinder had its fingers entrenched in here too Specifically, I wish the column autosize feature was applied in this context…. I wish the some of these features were available when I try to open a file from within a program (example microsoft excel). Integration into save, save as, and open windows of other applications I’d like TotalFinder to show all the system files but hide the. DS_Store file that is in EVERY folder is something I don’t want to look at all the time at the top of the folder. These are things that TotalFinder doesn’t do (as far as I’m aware) but I’m going to request… Show System Files but hide. TotalFinder Preference to list Folders at the top (like in Windows) I enabled this feature at first but then discovered that I’d really adapted to the folders in alphabetical order intermixed with the files and don’t like them on top so I disabled it after a while. This is one of the few things I miss from my Windows experience–having the folders grouped at the top verses being intermixed into the files when viewing the files in alphabetical order. ![]() That may be personal preference, and possibly a preference they can add to the settings.įeatures I Like (they don’t quite make the LOVE category) Folders on Top I do wish the divider was a bit thicker because at times the two columns seem too close to me. I can get used to it but it’s awkward at first. One thing that has been hard for me to get used to, when using dual mode, is that the Sidebar for the right window is on the right side, but the files cascade left to right when you are in column view. Every once in a while I’m working on something that has me in two different locations on the network and I’ve thought it would be so nice to have two locations in one window–here’s the answer! This mode is triggered by the keyboard shortcut Command-U. This is the first feature that caught my eye, which I thought I could really use. TotalFinder Preference to Re-enable Color Icons in the Sidebar To enable the Color Icons in the Sidebar open the Finder Preferences (Command-comma) and click on the TotalFinder Tab at the top and then click on Sidebar in the Basic section on the left column and check the box next to “Show sidebar icons in color.” TotalFinder re-enables color sidebar icons – Yipee! This has cost me lost of time when hunting for particular folders that I place there and used custom color icons to help me find them. I can’t remember when we lost this but a few years ago we lost color icons in the sidebar of the Finder. To open TotalFinder preferences simply type Command-comma while in the Finder They also have an option to set the minimum and maximum widths, just in case you have some super long files that bogart your screen space □ I primarily use column view and I always need to resize the column so I can see the full file name. This is a feature I’ve googled trying to find someone who has found a way to hack the Finder into doing this seemingly obvious need that computers are made to do. The features I LOVE: Automatically adjust widths in Column View Secondly I’ll say that this isn’t going to be a review or description of all the features of TotalFinder, but just feedback on the ones I’ve used. I ran across TotalFinder and noticed they give f ree licenses to bloggers for reviewing their product so I applied and received a free license, so here’s my take… Review of TotalFinder–a Replacement Finder For Mac OS Xįirst of all I guess I should say that TotalFinder isn’t a “replacement Finder” but it overlays itself over the existing Finder. I was curious to read why they would write that article given the improvements that were made in the recent release of Mavericks OS 10.9 (tabbed browsing, tags…). I ran across an article entitled “ Why a Finder Replacement is Still a Good Idea” on the tuts+ website while I was looking for solutions to why the Mavericks’ Finder lags so much for me when I create new Tags. Review of TotalFinder-a Replacement Finder For Mac OS X ![]() ![]() ![]() In my opinion, the market's revenue and EBITDA expectations for Plug Power this year are realistic. Wall Street's consensus 2024 adjusted EBITDA estimate is even higher at $320 million. In the company's most recent Q3 2021 shareholder letter, Plug Power highlighted that it was "raising revenue guidance for 2022 given acquisitions and commercial traction to $900 million-$925 million." The sell-side's consensus 2022 revenue forecast ($899 million) is at the lower end of the company's top-line guidance.Īlthough PLUG did not provide EBITDA guidance for 2022, the company had earlier set a target of achieving positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $250 million in 2024. The sell-side analysts' financial forecasts are in line with management guidance. Wall Street also forecasts that PLUG's losses at the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA level will narrow from -$180 million last year to -$17 million in the current year. Market consensus sees Plug Power's top line expanding by +80% YoY from $499 million in fiscal 2021 to $899 million in FY 2022, according to sell-side financial estimates sourced from S&P Capital IQ. Heading into 2022, PLUG stock is expected to deliver higher revenue and narrower losses. This is why I have turned bullish on the name. I see increased revenue and narrower operating losses for PLUG in 2022, and its current valuations are attractive as compared to peers. I focus on Plug Power's outlook this year in this latest article. My prior initiation article for Plug Power was published on September 30, 2021. ![]() I raise my investment rating for Plug Power Inc.'s ( NASDAQ: PLUG) shares from a Hold to a Buy.

The proposed method is not only helpful to explain the trend in crystal structure of T-Al-C based ceramics, but may be also general to predict the crystal structure of layered compounds constructed by alternatively stacked structural units. We also present close relationships between the atomic radii of transition metal and lattice mismatch, as well as the strain energy. Moreover, the discrepancy between crystal structures of T nAl 3C n+2 and T n +1AlC n is interpreted by lattice mismatch and the produced strain energy for the ternary T-Al-C ceramics. ![]() Ternary carbides following the T nAl 3C n+2 formula experience small lattice mismatches and strain energies. In the present study, we suggest that the ability of forming the T nAl 3C n+2 carbide could be traced back to the structure mismatches between the TC, Al 4C 3 and T nAl 3C n+2 compounds. ![]() Ternary T nAl 3C n+2 ceramics are structurally characterized by NaCl-type TC slabs being separated by Al 4C 3-type AlC layers. Layered ternary T-Al-C ceramics containing early transition metal Sc, Zr, and Hf, crystallize with the T nAl 3C n+2 formula, while others containing neighbor elements Ti, V, Cr, Nb, Mo, W, and Ta yield the T n +1AlC n formula. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe this should have been a TV series, if Rowling wanted to encompass so much-or she could have written a novel and then waited for a sufficient adaptation. ![]() But Crimes of Grindelwald tries to do entirely too much with no foundational text, so even diehards willing to follow Pottermore and various fan wikis to the ends of the Internet may find themselves hungry for further clarity. There are ribbons of old Rowling running throughout the film, mysteries from the past mingling with the present, teased out through callbacks and gradually meted out reveals. If even they can’t figure out how to expand this narrative in any comprehensible or engrossing way, then what possible future could the whole enterprise have? Which is troubling, given that Harry Potter stalwart David Yates (responsible for one of the best films in the original run) directed the thing, and Rowling herself wrote the script. Rowling’s original world-while trying desperately to entwine itself with it-that it can only gesture (or is it a flail?) toward what once, not too long ago, made these stories so special. Just as Game of Thrones began to sputter after it exhausted its rich source material, Grindelwald is far enough beyond the scope of J.K. big-budget show, too.) Scattered, confusing, and haunted by past grandeur, Crimes of Grindelwald perhaps marks the landmark moment when, alas, the magic finally flickers out. (The film is about as cheap- and plain-looking as a just-O.K. The current allegations against the actor, accused of drunkenly assaulting a crew member on the set of upcoming film City Of Lies seem set to add fuel to this particular fire.Watching Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second in a planned series of Harry Potter prequels, is a bit like watching a “previously on” recap of a season of television, except there are no actual episodes to go back to and watch in full. Within the fictional world and outside it, we all have to do what we believe to be the right thing." However, conscience isn’t governable by committee. I accept that there will be those who are not satisfied with our choice of actor in the title role. "I’ve loved writing the first two screenplays and I can’t wait for fans to see The Crimes Of Grindelwald. ![]() Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies. However, the agreements that have been put in place to protect the privacy of two people, both of whom have expressed a desire to get on with their lives, must be respected. For me personally, the inability to speak openly to fans about this issue has been difficult, frustrating and at times painful. ![]() "The huge, mutually supportive community that has grown up around Harry Potter is one of the greatest joys of my life. I understand why some have been confused and angry about why that didn’t happen. As David Yates, long-time Potter director, has already said, we naturally considered the possibility of recasting. "Harry Potter fans had legitimate questions and concerns about our choice to continue with Johnny Depp in the role. "However, around the time of filming his cameo in the first movie, stories had appeared in the press that deeply concerned me and everyone most closely involved in the franchise. "When Johnny Depp was cast as Grindelwald, I thought he’d be wonderful in the role," she wrote on her site. Rowling addressed the issue with a hefty statement: After a scandal about domestic abuse issues in his marriage, fans were concerned about Depp's continued presence in the film. Johnny Depp's casting proved to be extremely controversial, and we don't mean because people wanted Colin Farrell to remain as Grindelwald following his performance as the disguised villain for most of the first film. ![]() ![]() I want to lay you back and fill you up with wet kisses as you lay within my loins.

I noticed that the ambient sounds and the music was really annoying when trying to watch the video, so I turned them off in the Volume settings. So, how to keep entertained? You have to be able to reel in fish and cast out again, so afk is out of the question (Unless someone has a solution?) What to do? What I do is watch Youtube videos on my phone while I fish. One thing you will quickly notice about crate fishing is that it is BORING. ![]()
