Despite the wisdom, the life of King Solomon was not quiet.
And King Solomon once asked for advice to the court sage with a request: "Help me - very much in this life can bring me out of myself.

I am very prone to passions, and this prevents me from!" To which the sage replied: "I know how to help you ". Put on this ring - it bears the phrase: "It will pass." When nahlynet intense anger or strong joy, look at this inscription, and he will sober.

In this you will find salvation from the passions! "Solomon followed the advice of the sage and regained composure. But the time has come, looking, as usual, the ring, he did not calmed down, and vice versa - even more out of himself.

He tore the ring from his finger and wanted to throw it away into the pond, but then noticed that the inside of the ring has some kind of inscription. He looked and read: "And this too shall pass . '


Another option is the legend: One day King Solomon was sitting in his palace, and saw the man on the street goes up and down dressed in golden robes. Solomon summoned the man and asked: "Are not you a thief?".

At that he responded that he was a jeweler: "And Jerusalem - the famous city, here comes the set of wealthy people, kings and princes." Then the king asked the jeweler how much it earns? And he proudly replied that a lot. Then the king laughed and said that if This jeweler so smart, let him make a ring, which makes the sad merry, merry and sad.

And if three days later the ring is not ready, he tells them to a jeweler to execute. It would not be a talented silversmith, but on the third day he came to fear king with a ring to it. At the threshold of the palace, he met Rahavama, son of Solomon, and thought: "Son of the sage - half the sage."

And he told Rahavamu about his misfortune. At that he grinned, picked up a nail and three sides of the ring scribbled three Jewish characters - Gimel, Zain and yud. And he said that this can go safely to the king.

Shlomo turned the ring and immediately understood the value of the letters from the three sides of the ring on his own - and their sense of the abbreviation גם זו יעבור «This too shall pass." And as ring spinning, and all time top advocate a different letter, so the world spins and spins as the destiny of man. and I thought that now he sits in a throne, surrounded by all its glory, but it will pass, he immediately became sad.

And when Ashmoday threw it on the edge of the world, and Solomon had three years to wander, then looking at the ring, he realized that this too shall pass, and he was fun.

Another version of the legend: One day King Solomon was sitting in his palace, and saw the man on the street goes up and down dressed in golden robes. Solomon summoned this man and asked: "Are not you a thief?".

To which he replied that he was a jeweler.

NOAH - New Orleans Arcology Habitat or NOAH

Heavenly Abode

Rebuilding New Orleans is an ongoing effort and pitching into the concept-zone is the New Orleans Arcology Habitat or NOAH. Since the details on this structure are in-depth and plenty, lets plunge into them right away. NOAH proposes to be a habitat for 40,000 residents who can benefit from the planned residential units, school system, commercial, retail, hotels, casinos, parking, and public works facilities.

NOAH is based upon the following preliminary program outline.

1. Residential Units / Rental and Condominium; 20,000 units @ average 1100 Sq ft
2. Three Hotels; Average 200 rooms plus associated services
3. Time Share Units; 1500 units @ average 1100 sq ft
4. Three Casino Facilities
5. Commercial Space / Rental and Condominiums; 500,000 sq ft
6. Commercial Space / Retail; 500,000 sq ft
7. Parking Garage / within foundation; 8,000 cars
8. Cultural Facilities; 100,000 sq ft
9. Public Works; 50,000 sq ft / includes storage
10. District School System; 100,000 sq ft
11. District Administrative Office; 50,000 sq ft
12. District Health Care Facility; 20,000 sq ft

Estimated Total Square Footage : 30 million

Location/ Site Specific:
In reviewing all the options and possible sites for NOAH, the most logical location is on the Mississippi riverfront and adjacent to the Central Business District.

Design Challenge:

1. The first challenge is to overcome both the physical and psychological damages of recurring severe weather patterns. Though re-population has begun, the need to provide a stabilized and safe environment is paramount to a long term recovery and economic well being of New Orleans.
2. The second challenge is that New Orleans has too much water. The city has been built at and below sea levels which creates consistently high water table and makes it prone to flooding and storm surges.
3. The third challenge is that New Orleans is built on soil condition which consists of thousands of feet of soft soil, silt and clay. These conditions make building large scale concentrated structures difficult.
Believing that NOAH is a viable plan, our solution to overcome these challenges is to take advantage of these seemingly conflicting issues with the introduction of a floating urban platform.

Foundation Design / Basin

The NOAH foundation system is twofold. The first part of the system is to create a water filled “basin” within which the urban platform (NOAH) will float.

The second part of the system is to create a multi-cavity “hull” which will be the actual foundation for the superstructure.

Basin/Foundation:

The water basin will be a combination of carving into the existing land and extending out into the Mississippi River.
This man made basin is estimated to be 1,200 feet in diameter with a depth of 250 feet.
The walls and floor of the basin would be constructed of high strength concrete with applied lateral bracing and exterior attached tension rings.
Backup intact valves will allow basin and river water levels to remain constant.

The Foundation:

Noah, at its current height of 1,200 feet will rest up its triangulated foundation constituted
to be a buoyant multi-cavity “hull.” This “hull” will consist of high strength concrete cells, forming approximately a 40×40 matrix. This matrix not only gives buoyancy to the structure, it also becomes the framing matrix for the steel framed superstructure. It is estimated that the combined weight of NOAH will draft 180 feet within the water-filled basin, allowing a minimum 50 foot space between the floor of the basin and the floor of the buoyant foundation.

The hull will accept all land connectors as flexible conveyors to take into account any movement.
A triangulate shape has been chosen as the basis for NOAH. For two reasons:

First, the triangle is inherently the most rigid of all structural framing systems. The system is designed to dissipate gravity and severe wind loads through an all-steel applied (eko skeleton) exterior frame and conventional internal framing methodology.

Second, the triangle is an “open” frame configuration, dividing NOAH into three separate “towers” converging at the top. The intent of this open system is to allow all severe weather /winds to in effect “blow through” the structure in any direction with the minimum of massing interference.

Some Other Features:

1. Sky Gardens will be inserted into the three main towers every 30 floors. These sky gardens provide landscaped glass enclosed atria.
2. Vertical commuting within NOAH will be supported by a series of local and express custom canted elevators.
3. NOAH is geared to an all pedestrian environment. Accordingly, only select horizontally based areas will be fitted with moving walkways and/or electric train carriers.
NOAH is a three phase master plan with a proposed 10 year build out. This time frame can be reduced to an estimated 6 years should demand accelerate.

Eco-Highlights:
The structure is designed to expand the horizon of sustainability and will seek LEED certification.
It will eliminate the need for cars within the urban structure, and thus becomes a carbon neutral entity. Internal electric transport links, vertical and horizontal, create a pedestrian-friendly community,
Some of these elements are secured wind turbines, fresh water recovery and storage systems, passive glazing system, sky garden heating/cooling vents, grey water treatment, solar array banding panels, and river based water turbines.

Amazing architecture: Floating building as traveling exhibit space

Leave it to Australian architects at Peddle Thorp to prove that houseboat architecture has come a long way. They're calling this starship-like floating exhibition space "Fluid," and once it's done showing off its beauty at the 2012 World Expo in Yeosu, South Korea, it'll be unmoored from its dock and floated to other Asian cities.

Check out the gallery below, and you'll notice that its interior is even more magnificent than its exterior, taking the theme of a whale to the extreme. We love floating buildings. Bring this beauty to the states!

All aboard the maglev! Japanese train rockets toward the future

Taking a significant step toward a faster future, Japan plans to launch its first maglev train by 2025. Magnetic levitation is a completely different system from regular rail transport, using magnets to float the train above the tracks, reducing friction to nil. That allows maglevs to achieve speeds comparable to small aircraft, and the one planned by the Central Japan Railway will rocket passengers at 310 mph between Tokyo and Nagoya. At that rate, a one-way trip would take about half an hour. If all goes well, the line will be extended to Osaka, replacing the current Shinkansen bullet trains.

Since maglevs can't be used with normal rails, they've been slow to catch on, and the only commercial maglev train operating today is in Shanghai (shown above). They have reliability issues as well, as the U.K.'s Birmingham Airport found out when it had to replace a short maglev line with a conventional system in 1995 because of technical problems.

Funnily enough, the top speed of this breakneck maglev doesn't quite match the maximum warp of France's doubledecker TGV train, which set a record of 357.2 mph earlier this month. Maybe the Japanese and French should get together and pool their high-speed rail tech to create a supersystem that uses the best of both. Hey, it works with with cuisine
