Living By The Facts


My father often speaks of a senior management supervisor whose plaque above his door stated "the only authority here is the facts". In almost every area of life, the facts are the bottom line to determining many things. When making major decisions, the facts are always important. Sometimes, the only way to determine which direction to take is too objectively look at the facts. In all cases and situations, the first, and most important thing to do is to find out the facts.

After finding out the facts, one must than apply or incorporate the facts to the situation or circumstances. You must know how to use the facts to bring out the truth of matter. Some might say, the facts will shine a bright light into thick clouds of darkness which often will reveal a worker of evil or more to the point, a lying wonder.

If you do not have the facts, in some cases, you will be in for a fight. There are some people that will distort the facts for the expressed purpose of exploitation. It is best not to make any statement until you have thoroughly looked at and examined the facts. In some cases, the supervisor is a walking target for some personnel; they live for the expressed purpose of the distorting the facts for their predetermined purposes. It is your responsibility to be committed to the facts only, not opinions.


Waiora Detox Body Supplement Zeolite

Waiora is a company which started from scratch four years from now to become a leading firm in the field of global business. The reasons why Waiora Zeolite grew so rapidly when most failed is because it had a vision and a systematic strategy to realize that dream of detox body process. At present Waiora Natural Cellular Defense is associated with health products and hence it believes in a healthy life and healthier living. The Baby Boomer Generation which comprises of individuals who were born between 1946 and 1964 now comprises of a seventy seven million strong market for improved health and finances.

At present the focus of Waiora Zeolite is on the Baby Boomer generation, as each day in the United States alone, as many as thirteen thousand Baby Boomers turn fifty years of age. Likewise, it is interesting to note that these seventy seven million strong community of ‘Baby Boomers’ control seventy seven percent of the country’s financial assets. Besides, by the year 2012, the population of people over the age of fifty would increase to one third from a mere one quarter at present and will help detox body.

Waiora has estimated that out of the seventy seven million Baby Boomers, almost eighty percent are expected to continue earning after they retire from active jobs. Likewise, seventy two percent of senior citizens prefer to take supplements because they feel better and approximately eighty three percent of the United States Households purchase some or the other form of nutritional supplements.

It is obvious that as the population of Baby Boomers booms, the need for health equipments and related health products would rise and Waiora knows that. This is why we need Waiora Zeolite for its body detox advantages!

London bridge may fall, paper bridge may not

Shigeru Ban is an accomplished Japanese and international architect, most famous for his innovative work with paper, particularly recycled cardboard paper tubes used to quickly and efficiently house disaster victims. Shigeru Ban was the winner in 2005 at age 48 of the 40th annual Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He was profiled by Time Magazine in their projection of 21st century innovators in the field of architecture and design.

Shigeru Ban studied at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and later went on to Cooper Union’s School of Architecture where he studied under John Hejduk and graduated in 1984. Hejduk was a part of the The New York Five. From Hejduk, Ban learned not only fundamental elements of architecture, but also gained an interest in ‘architectonic poetics’ or the creation of three-dimensional poetry. Hejduk, the most experimentally minded of the New York Five, had a lasting influence on Ban, whose work has continuing explorations into basic geometric elements. Ban’s formal explorations with basic building materials helped to lead him into unique structural solutions.

Ban is most-famous now for his innovative work with paper and cardboard tubing as a material for building construction. He was the first architect in Japan to construct a building primarily out of paper, with his paper house and required special approval for his building to pass Japan’s building code. Ban is attracted to using paper because of its low-cost, its recyclable, low-tech and they’re replaceable. The last aspect of Ban’s influences is his humanitarianism and his attraction to ecological architecture. Ban’s work with paper and other materials is heavily based on its sustanability and because it produces very little waste. As a result of this, Ban’s DIY Refugee shelters (used in Japan after the Kobe earthquake, in Turkey, Rwanda and around the world) are very popular and effective for low-cost disaster relief-housing.

When the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban was asked to build a footbridge over the Gardon River in the south of France, he designed one that was keenly sensitive to its surroundings. He constructed it from locally available materials and based its geometry on the nearby Pont du Gard, a historic Roman aqueduct. Ban used a mixture of cardboard tubes, recycled labels and creative engineering.

The surprisingly strong structure can withstand the load of at least 20 people, rose triumphantly against the backdrop of the ancient monument. The 72-foot-long frame was made primarily from 281 cardboard tubes — each four and a half inches in diameter and about three-quarters of an inch thick. The tubes were held together by steel joints. For the steps, Ban used a new material called ProFi, assembled from paper and plastic left over from the manufacture of self-adhesive labels. Wooden boxes buried underground and packed with local sand formed the foundations.

The bridge diameter and curvature were modeled on the classic proportions of the Pont du Gard’s arch. “It was an interesting contrast,” Ban says. “But it was both a contrast and a harmony.” The design of the bridge allows for easy assembly and dismantling. It took a team of architecture students only a month to complete the installation, which remained open to the public for six weeks before being dismantled in August before the rainy season. Ban says he expects it to be rebuilt next year.

The main challenge, Ban says, was not mastering the engineering of the bridge but persuading skeptics to rethink basic principles of design. “The strength and durability of a structure has nothing to do with the material,” he said. Ban fits well into the category of “Ecological Architects” but he also can make solid claims for being modernist, a Japanese experimentalist as well as a rationalist. “I don’t like waste” is an apt quote from Ban, summing up his philosophy, known as “Paper George's Architecture.”
