【New Age 2016 】李志輝 Li Zhi-hui | 邯鄲學步 The Handan Walk | 地理音樂會
Li Zhihui is a well-known New Age musician from Beijing, China. He holds the title of The Kitarō of China based on his great contributions to Chinese New Age music.
他是一位具有獨特氣質的音樂家，低調，與世無爭，就似他的音樂一般，清新，飄逸脫俗。他本人卻甚少在公開場合亮相。他的專輯發行遍及全球，曾為譚晶、毛阿敏、齊豫、陳楚生等知名歌手創作過歌曲，也為鳳凰、平遙、泉州、大理等知名地方創作過地理音樂，卻很少面向大眾呈現他的新世紀地理音樂。
因著一種美妙的緣分，因為同樣深愛綠色，李志輝和洋湖牽手了。4月26日，這位低調的新世紀地理音樂家在這裡首次為公眾呈現最新創作的洋湖組曲。
喜歡著一身素白的衣服，赤腳與大地親密接觸;喜歡一個人靜靜地在大自然裡采風，與生命對話。吃素食的他，認為蔬菜水果令人感覺身心舒暢，潔淨、輕盈，使心靈感到寧靜和愉快，使人更富有愛心，獲得更多心靈的智慧。
洋湖，正是一個適合他萌發創意靈感，尋找心靈智慧的地方。花開盎然，草木新綠，魚翔淺底，鳥兒隨意地落到行人身邊。夏時有螢火蟲點亮夜空，入秋有蛙聲在周圍此起彼伏，白鷺等遷徙鳥類也來這裡安家。
美的地方，召喚美的音樂，美麗洋湖將李志輝“召喚”到了公眾視線內。這次他不再僅僅以音樂創作者的身份居於幕後，而是出現在新世紀地理音樂會的舞台上，親自奏響專輯《帶你的耳朵去旅行》中的經典曲目，並呈現洋湖組曲《湖天影月》、《心靈之翼》、《幸福洋湖》等全新力作，這些曲目作為章節主題貫穿整場音樂會，讓不同的跨界元素，表達同一種情懷，那便是生態、藝術與文化的完美融合。
本次音樂會，李志輝攜強大的樂手團隊共同演出，其中有李宗盛、潘美辰、楊宗緯演唱會首席鼓手荀亮，齊秦巡回演唱會御用貝斯手陳曉星，在國際打擊樂界享有盛譽的菲律賓打擊樂大師Dominc Bautista，與宋祖英、董文華、趙傳、劉斌、閻維文等合作過的Timpani、民族鼓、手鼓領奏何謂佳，螢火蟲樂隊主音吉他演奏家龔鳴…他們在洋湖，合奏動人旋律，用音樂的魅力傳達生態環保理念。
在李志輝的音樂理想中，他更願意成為一個虔誠的記錄者，將大自然間最純粹的天地之音藝術化傳達給大家，讓久暌的心靈重歸自由。正如莊子曾言，渾然天成的自然之樂，這就是天籟

AthensVision by Lianou Chalvatzis Architects
Athens Vision is a proposal of regenerating 230 acres (93 hectares) located in Votanikos area. Votanikos is located 3 km west of the downtown part of the Greek capital of Athens. The western part is currently mostly occupied by industrial buildings and old factories. Simultaneously, the Agricultural University of Athens sits in the area while major streets with high circulation are surrounding it. Based on the given site, our young London-based practice Lianou Chalvatzis Architects, propose an urban park, a masterplan which combines residential towers, offices towers, green areas, cultural spaces and retail plazas.
Athens Vision consists a prototype typology proposed as a solution to the limited green areas and the dense urban fabric of Athens in general, thus the proposed case could be applied as a whole or part of it, to various areas of Athens relieving the dense urban fabric. The proposed masterplan deals with the creation of a network thus is consists a flexible concept and able to be expanded to surrounding areas and neighbourhoods.
Simultaneously, we propose tall and high rise buildings which release horizontal space from the ground and convert the ground level into green spaces, parks and plazas transferring the heavily built element into the vertical axis providing at the same time incredible views with quality spaces in the ground level. Moreover through skybridges and connections of the towers between them, roads and circulation can continue to flow expanding the city into multiple layers and offering quality spaces and experiences to the citizens and visitors of Athens.
We create a network of hard-scape which defines multiple green area/cells. The masterplan is divided into thematic parks, where one or more cells consist the various qualities and atmospheres which are ranging from the flower gardens, the pond, the Fruitland, the Prairies, the Hills, the Forest, the cultivation gardens and the retail plazas while in the central area there is the Amphitheatre where cultural activities, arts and events can take place. Each thematic area is creating a different experience and quality while by introducing learning and cultivation gardens, we stimulate the neighbouring Agricultural University of Athens to be part of it and interact, teach and communicate with the society. The urban park is developed in multi-layers where the visitor can experience the park from various points of view since the landscape and the plazas and amphitheatre blend in height with the pedestrian routes and the bridges, through smooth transitions in height, proposing a total embedded architecture into the landscape. In that context, the retail areas are deployed based on two typologies. Either the ‘Hill’ or the ‘Crater’ typology, where in the first case the ground peels off and accommodates the retail inside or in the second case the cells dips down creating a crater typology, where the retail is accommodated underneath the pedestrians network.
Simultaneously, the masterplan accommodates in the west side four residential towers and on the east side three office towers varying from 50m to 152m. The structural system of the towers is based on the exoskeleton, while the massive typology of it, is adapting to the Greek reality, culture and environment through the introduction of balconies, while the slabs act as shading device in the north and east side of them. The office towers follow as well the same structural system of exoskeleton, while instead of balconies they have vertical louvers. The exoskeleton of the tower is consisted from hollow pre-fabricated elements of concrete which are transferring the water from the roof and the apartments to the gardens, facilitating the watering system while they enhance the environmental aspect of the project. Furthermore, the residential towers on the west side of the masterplan are connected with skybridges, creating social gardens and areas for the residents where they can cultivate their seeds for their own use, while on the top floor of the towers there are gardens and areas where the residents can relax with clear view of the Parthenon, the sea and the sky. The residential towers sit on ponds of water isolating them from the noise of the park and creating a more relaxed and independent condition, while visitors and residents enter the towers by bridges over the water. On the other hand the office towers sit on retail craters where people who work in the towers can access directly the cafes and restaurant located in the -1 and spend their interim time in the crater plazas or visit the top floor of the office towers where there are more exclusive restaurants and cafes with view of Athens’ urban fabric, the Acropolis and the coastline.

Master Plan 2008 - Jurong Lake District
Lifted from Straits Times Online 4th April 2008:
Jurong to be transformed into a Lake District for business and leisure
JURONG will undergo a dramatic transformation to become a unique lakeside destination for business and leisure in 10 to 15 years.
The blueprint for Jurong Lake District was unveiled by National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan on Friday morning at the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) seminar before a gathering of 500 developers, architects, and other industry players.
The ambitious plan involves enlarging waterways, building 1,000 new private homes, 2,800 hotel rooms and offices on the fringes, and adding new tourist attractions and landscaped open spaces.
Jurong Lake District will consist of two complementary precincts - Jurong Gateway and Lakeside - around the Jurong East MRT Station and Jurong Lake in the west region of Singapore.
The area around the Jurong East MRT Station, to be known as Jurong Gateway, will be developed into an attractive commercial hub serving the west region, outside the city centre.
A new and unique leisure destination, to be known as Lakeside, will be created around Jurong Lake with edutainment attractions for the whole family.
New waterways and pedestrian linkages will provide seamless connections between the two precincts. An integrated network of pedestrian walkways between buildings and public facilities will also be created.
New landscaped open spaces and park connectors at the street-level and skyrise greenery in buildings will add to the already lush and scenic areas.
Said Mrs Cheong Koon Hean, URA's Chief Executive Officer: 'Jurong Gateway and Lakeside are precious gems which offer exciting opportunities for the development of leisure attractions and the biggest commercial hub outside the city centre.
'To realise this vision, the planners have developed strategies that capitalise on the wonderful assets these areas have. These include building upon the strategic location of Jurong Gateway which is well served by road and rail, and in the midst of a large population and customer catchment.
'The lake and its greenery are also unique features which can be enhanced. We would like to bring about a transformed image for this area. The Jurong Lake District will become a much sought after lakeside destination for business and leisure.'
The total potential area for development is 360 hectares, close to the size of Marina Bay.
The existing Chinese and Japanese Gardens will have added new facilities and activities to make them more attractive for both residents and tourists.
URA said all the attractions around the Jurong Lake will be developed with 'a sensitive approach to the surrounding environment and natural greenery.'
The blueprint for Jurong Lake District is part of URA's 2008 Draft Master Plan, drawn up with feedback from community leaders and industry players.
A New Condo Launch by MCL will be launching in the heart of Jurong Gateway May 2013!

Calling All Cars: Muerta en Buenaventura / The Greasy Trail / Turtle-Necked Murder
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.

Dragnet: Helen Corday / Red Light Bandit / City Hall Bombing
Dragnet is a radio and television crime drama about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a dragnet, meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
Dragnet debuted inauspiciously. The first several months were bumpy, as Webb and company worked out the program's format and eventually became comfortable with their characters (Friday was originally portrayed as more brash and forceful than his later usually relaxed demeanor). Gradually, Friday's deadpan, fast-talking persona emerged, described by John Dunning as a cop's cop, tough but not hard, conservative but caring. (Dunning, 210) Friday's first partner was Sergeant Ben Romero, portrayed by Barton Yarborough, a longtime radio actor. After Yarborough's death in 1951 (and therefore Romero's, who also died of a heart attack, as acknowledged on the December 27, 1951 episode The Big Sorrow), Friday was partnered with Sergeant Ed Jacobs (December 27, 1951 - April 10, 1952, subsequently transferred to the Police Academy as an instructor), played by Barney Phillips; Officer Bill Lockwood (Ben Romero's nephew, April 17, 1952 - May 8, 1952), played by Martin Milner (with Ken Peters taking the role for the June 12, 1952 episode The Big Donation); and finally Frank Smith, played first by Herb Ellis (1952), then Ben Alexander (September 21, 1952-1959). Raymond Burr was on board to play the Chief of Detectives. When Dragnet hit its stride, it became one of radio's top-rated shows.
Webb insisted on realism in every aspect of the show. The dialogue was clipped, understated and sparse, influenced by the hardboiled school of crime fiction. Scripts were fast moving but didn't seem rushed. Every aspect of police work was chronicled, step by step: From patrols and paperwork, to crime scene investigation, lab work and questioning witnesses or suspects. The detectives' personal lives were mentioned but rarely took center stage. (Friday was a bachelor who lived with his mother; Romero, a Mexican-American from Texas, was an ever fretful husband and father.) Underplaying is still acting, Webb told Time. We try to make it as real as a guy pouring a cup of coffee. (Dunning, 209) Los Angeles police chiefs C.B. Horrall, William A. Worton, and (later) William H. Parker were credited as consultants, and many police officers were fans.
Most of the later episodes were entitled The Big _____, where the key word denoted a person or thing in the plot. In numerous episodes, this would the principal suspect, victim, or physical target of the crime, but in others was often a seemingly inconsequential detail eventually revealed to be key evidence in solving the crime. For example, in The Big Streetcar the background noise of a passing streetcar helps to establish the location of a phone booth used by the suspect.
Throughout the series' radio years, one can find interesting glimpses of pre-renewal Downtown L.A., still full of working class residents and the cheap bars, cafes, hotels and boarding houses which served them. At the climax of the early episode James Vickers, the chase leads to the Subway Terminal Building, where the robber flees into one of the tunnels only to be killed by an oncoming train. Meanwhile, by contrast, in other episodes set in outlying areas, it is clear that the locations in question are far less built up than they are today. Today, the Imperial Highway, extending 40 miles east from El Segundo to Anaheim, is a heavily used boulevard lined almost entirely with low-rise commercial development. In an early Dragnet episode scenes along the Highway, at the road to San Pedro, clearly indicate that it still retained much the character of a country highway at that time.
Words at War: They Shall Inherit the Earth / War Tide / Condition Red
Germany invaded France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg on 10 May 1940.[67] The Netherlands and Belgium were overrun using blitzkrieg tactics in a few days and weeks, respectively.[68] The French-fortified Maginot Line and the Allied forces in Belgium were circumvented by a flanking movement through the thickly wooded Ardennes region,[69] mistakenly perceived by French planners as an impenetrable natural barrier against armoured vehicles.[70]
British troops were forced to evacuate the continent at Dunkirk, abandoning their heavy equipment by early June.[71] On 10 June, Italy invaded France, declaring war on both France and the United Kingdom;[72] twelve days later France surrendered and was soon divided into German and Italian occupation zones,[73] and an unoccupied rump state under the Vichy Regime. On 3 July, the British attacked the French fleet in Algeria to prevent its possible seizure by Germany.[74]
In June, during the last days of the Battle of France, the Soviet Union forcibly annexed Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,[57] and then annexed the disputed Romanian region of Bessarabia. Meanwhile, Nazi-Soviet political rapprochement and economic cooperation[75][76] gradually stalled,[77][78] and both states began preparations for war.[79]
With France neutralized, Germany began an air superiority campaign over Britain (the Battle of Britain) to prepare for an invasion.[80] The campaign failed, and the invasion plans were canceled by September.[80] Using newly captured French ports, the German Navy enjoyed success against an over-extended Royal Navy, using U-boats against British shipping in the Atlantic.[81] Italy began operations in the Mediterranean, initiating a siege of Malta in June, conquering British Somaliland in August, and making an incursion into British-held Egypt in September 1940. Japan increased its blockade of China in September by seizing several bases in the northern part of the now-isolated French Indochina.[82]
Throughout this period, the neutral United States took measures to assist China and the Western Allies. In November 1939, the American Neutrality Act was amended to allow cash and carry purchases by the Allies.[83] In 1940, following the German capture of Paris, the size of the United States Navy was significantly increased and, after the Japanese incursion into Indochina, the United States embargoed iron, steel and mechanical parts against Japan.[84] In September, the United States further agreed to a trade of American destroyers for British bases.[85] Still, a large majority of the American public continued to oppose any direct military intervention into the conflict well into 1941.[86]
At the end of September 1940, the Tripartite Pact united Japan, Italy and Germany to formalize the Axis Powers.[87] The Tripartite Pact stipulated that any country, with the exception of the Soviet Union, not in the war which attacked any Axis Power would be forced to go to war against all three.[88] During this time, the United States continued to support the United Kingdom and China by introducing the Lend-Lease policy authorizing the provision of materiel and other items[89] and creating a security zone spanning roughly half of the Atlantic Ocean where the United States Navy protected British convoys.[90] As a result, Germany and the United States found themselves engaged in sustained naval warfare in the North and Central Atlantic by October 1941, even though the United States remained officially neutral.[91][92]
The Axis expanded in November 1940 when Hungary, Slovakia and Romania joined the Tripartite Pact.[93] In October 1940, Italy invaded Greece but within days was repulsed and pushed back into Albania, where a stalemate soon occurred.[94] In December 1940, British Commonwealth forces began counter-offensives against Italian forces in Egypt and Italian East Africa.[95] By early 1941, with Italian forces having been pushed back into Libya by the Commonwealth, Churchill ordered a dispatch of troops from Africa to bolster the Greeks.[96] The Italian Navy also suffered significant defeats, with the Royal Navy putting three Italian battleships out of commission by a carrier attack at Taranto, and neutralising several more warships at the Battle of Cape Matapan.[97]
