The architectural project of this photography studio, specialized in food photos, emerged from an internal competition held at StudioMK27. The team was divided into 3 groups that worked on the development of different ideas for one day. From these first rough sketches a new project, which, in part, was a synthesis of all these sketches and, in part, an entirely new project, was elaborated — via ArchDaily
Now that it’s got a genuine corporate behemoth as its owner, the Huffington Post is fielding a lawsuit from its unpaid army of bloggers.
Blogger Jonathan Tasini has filed a class action on behalf of more than 9,000 bloggers, claiming US$105 million for content which the HuffPo used for its financial benefit while not paying the authors.
Tasini said the US$315 million purchase of the aggregator by AOL prompted the lawsuit. His complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, names Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer as defendants — via redwolf.newsvine.com

During the first visit by the client to the architect [Van der Jeugd Architecten], they proved very taken with the in situ-cast concrete work office of the architect. This led us to design a concrete dwelling: spatially strong, with an aesthetic minimalism put through to the last detail. Strategically rainwater drains, piping and electrical wiring were eliminated from sight, resulting in an almost Spartan and graphical appearance — via ArchDaily
Love your dog? Why not wear his/her nose around your neck. Jewellery designer Jackie Kaufman of Rock My World Inc creates personalised dog nose necklaces using recycled silver and a process called lost-wax casting
. The process is relatively simple: She sends you a kit in the mail, you hold the mold up to your pooches snout for a few seconds, and then you send the mold back to Jackie in a self-addressed envelope. She then creates your one of a kind piece, finished off with your name engraved on the back. In two weeks time, you can have your dog’s nose to wear around your neck!
An engraved nose print necklace will cost from $109.99 to $174.99, depending on the size. If you don’t like the nose print idea Jackie also creates personalised paw print necklaces. As for me, I can’t decide if this really cute or creepy — via Pawesome
The times are changing for European biologists who work with octopuses, squid and cuttlefish. A European Union (EU) regulation on animal experiments will soon make them familiar with the bureaucracy that is already the daily routine of those who experiment on monkeys and mice.
The EU directive on “the protection of animals used for scientific purposes”, which member states must incorporate into their national laws by January 2013, for the first time extends protections to cephalopods as well as vertebrate lab animals — via redwolf.newsvine.com

A United Nations special rapporteur on torture claims US authorities refused to give him access to Army Private Bradley Manning, 23, the lone soldier accused of leaking secret files to WikiLeaks.
Juan Mendez, the UN representative on torture, said he had visited numerous other nations where he’d been allowed unmonitored communications with prisoners. The US Department of Defense on Friday, however, denied his request to visit with Manning, saying he may not speak with the soldier unless a government monitor is present — via luckydog.newsvine.com

Clay Rathburn of Atom Bomb Customs is an old-school craftsman, and the creator of one of my all-time favorite bikes, Doctor Who
. When Clay builds a bike, very little work is farmed out—an admirable approach in this age of off-the-shelf parts. This lovely 1966 Triumph Bonneville T120 is Clay’s latest creation, and it reveals its charms slowly, eschewing glitz for a subtle, timeless style — via Bike EXIF
When it’s time to book a vacation or a quick getaway, many of us turn to travel reservation sites like Expedia, Travelocity and other comparison services. But there’s a cybercrime-friendly booking service that is not well-known. When cyber crooks want to get away — with a crime — increasingly they are turning to underground online booking services that make it easy for crooks to rent hacked PCs that can help them ply their trade anonymously — via redwolf.newsvine.com
E-mail disclaimers are one of the minor nuisances of modern office life, along with fire drills, annual appraisals and colleagues who keep sneezing loudly. Just think of all the extra waste paper generated when messages containing such waffle are printed. They are assumed to be a wise precaution. But they are mostly, legally speaking, pointless. Lawyers and experts on internet policy say no court case has ever turned on the presence or absence of such an automatic e-mail footer in America, the most litigious of rich countries — via redwolf.newsvine.com
A new Trojan tries to extort money from users by convincing them to dial international telephone numbers to reactive Windows, a security researcher said today.
Once on a PC, the malware displays a message claiming that Windows is locked
and must be reactivated, said Mikko Hypponen, the chief research officer of Helsinki-based F-Secure. Users seeing the message cannot boot Windows in either normal or Safe mode, Hypponen said.
This copy of Windows is locked. You may be a victim of fraud or there may be an internal error,
the message states — via redwolf.newsvine.com
The triangular zone of intervention on the site releases itself naturally from the existing constraints. The result is a concrete piece of cake, a simple 22m high extrusion of that original triangular shape.
