Circularity presented by RMIT, Polestar and Green Magazine - No Drain, No Gain
“Circularity: Materials + Form” will run from June 27-29th in Fitzroy, Melbourne, showcasing projects from the RMIT Master of Architecture Design Studio and Research Elective No Drain No Gain from RMIT Architecture on Vimeo. There is a greater volume of stormwater runoff than there is water consumed in Melbourne. 90% of rain falls on hard surfaces, where neglected drainage systems gather pollutants, making stormwater the number one threat to waterways.

Dublin Review of Books
Ezra Pound, Italy and The Cantos, by Massimo Bacigalupo, Clemson University Press, 346 pp, £64, ISBN: 978-1949979008 Ezra Pound is, perhaps, the most troubling of all the Modernist presences in Anglophone literature – a fascist and an unrepentant antisemite even after the Holocaust revealed the ultimate end of that obnoxious prejudice – yet he was a brilliant poet, a brilliant synthesiser of cultures and absolutely central to Modernism in English.
The Couple That Grieves Apart, Stays Together
The Couple That Grieves Apart, Stays Together William Wall Share article “Every Damn Star That Shines” by William Wall When I cried out there in the water it was just a sudden rush, something broke, it wasn’t anything I was thinking about before. It was a surprise. A shock in fact. I walked out into the sea as far as my waist and then I just stood there as if I didn’t know what to do. In that instant I really didn’t know. Then I noticed that I was crying and making noise.
The top 4 beautiful inequalities
It is a great irony that the best protection from corrupt power inequality is subjection to the sovereignty of good over evil. When we recognize the root of evil as weakness, we no longer blame the fruits of evil on the strong. Power inequality can be natural and beautiful. For example, a loving and just God having dominion over His creation, parents caring for children, business owners hiring new employees. When is power inequality inappropriate? When it hurts innocent people, born or unborn.
Avoiding The Daily Drama Of The Body
Writing and Illness Still’s Disease is a kind of Winter. It settles on the bones and the joints with a wintry determination: pain and misery are the signatures. The pain makes you feel cold all the time. You sit by a fire or a radiator, no matter what the season, husbanding warmth. Warmth eases the joints the way a warm January day softens the budding branches.
Top 7 truths about capitalism
1. Adam Smith’s ‘Invisible Hand’ Self-interest is so central to pursuing our talents, so personal and invigorating, that the power in capitalism ultimately comes from monetizing our dreams. Amazingly, self-interest creates prosperity far beyond the scope of the individual. In Adam Smith’s masterpiece, “The Wealth of Nations,” he states: “By pursuing his own interest (the individual) frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.
5 ways woke rebels become conforming robots
In the baboon community, the alpha male is the last one to adopt innovations discovered by the group. This insulates the leader if changes are dangerous. However, if changes benefit the group, like moving to an area with enough food for all, stubbornly defending the status quo will not hurt the alpha male. In other words, this leadership is not enlightened, only self-serving. It reminds you of a mob boss, a looter, or violent antifa thug, doesn’t it?
The Couple That Grieves Apart, Stays Together – Electric Literature
When I cried out there in the water it was just a sudden rush, something broke, it wasn’t anything I was thinking about before. It was a surprise. A shock in fact. I walked out into the sea as far as my waist and then I just stood there as if I didn’t know what to do. In that instant I really didn’t know. Then I noticed that I was crying and making noise. I think it was the temperature of the water, strange as that may sound. It was cold.
4 ways liberals spawn unhappiness
There is no stronger proof of God than that vice can never make us happy. No one speaks of a happy junky or unbounded joy of a thief, drug-smuggler or alcoholic in denial. Rebellion against decency cannot lead to bliss. Why? The Bible says “the wages of sin is death.” What does this have to do with liberalism? Liberals in both parties codify vice into law.
4 reasons liberals can’t and won’t solve problems
1. Heckling and micro-rage hide their atrocities Jerry Seinfeld said he likes to engage hecklers, get them talking. Why? Because he knows that they are not funny or prepared. After their initial outburst, they are quickly exposed as fools and attention grabbers. Micro-rage is a form of political heckling that diverts attention from the left’s catastrophic policy failures and moral culpability. Let’s play the micro-rage game.
Top 10 clues you may be a racist
1. You think, talk, and worry about race almost every day Rock legend David Bowie was married to a black woman. When asked how they handled the situation, he said we’ve never talked about it. This is a portrait of people not fixated on race. Why should the journalist be more obsessed with race than the married couple? In India, arranged marriages still occur. Imagine two sets of couples.
3 reasons good fences make good neighbors
A policy of open borders that also benefits America is a fantasy pushed by those who won’t face truth about human nature. With lax security, promises of amnesty, threats of terrorism, drug cartel violence and open arms of a welfare state, what could go wrong? Co-author of our Constitution James Madison observed, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” The same is true for a country’s sovereignty and border security; they’re not necessary if all illegal immigrants were angels.
8 ways America has morally improved
You read the title correctly. Amid countless piles of fresh horse manure, I once saw a cat meticulously bury its own contribution. Regardless of our surroundings, we can always have good mental hygiene.
When libs hate immigration & love imperialism
Early European immigration to North America fills liberals with selective rage. Immigrating Pilgrims who fled England’s religious and social persecution in the 1600s are loathed for not assimilating to Native American language and culture, for committing crime and bringing unknown diseases. Sound familiar? Liberals vilify conservatives today who have the same concerns. Certainly, these deplorable Pilgrims qualify as victims and political refugees.
Why secular fundies can’t overthrow America
Every great culture begins on its knees before God and dies on its back as a whore. Changing paradigms is the death rattle of decline. For example, when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity, it collapsed. Why? Because even superpowers devolve, decompose from the inside and fall from their tree like over-ripe fruit. When hopelessly corrupt, despicably castrated and irreligious, they are replaced by groups with spiritual depth, primal motivations and far stronger will.
4 things capitalism is not
Hitler’s socialism and racism are two sides of the same hatred of individual liberty. Monopolistic political power can never leave economic freedom unmolested. Socialism, therefore, is the best teacher of what capitalism is not. Political structures, big-government-liberalism, socialism, fascism and communism make four things clear about free enterprise. 1.
15 deadly lies of abortion pushers
Lie No. 1: When life begins is unknown. Science is very clear that all chromosomes, DNA and RNA are present at the moment of conception. DNA includes more than just the cellular blueprint of your physical body down to the length of your eyelashes. It seems to lay out unique features of your mind, your natural talents, aptitudes and even what dreams are likely to enthrall you. Lie No. 2: The unborn are not human until they take their first breath.
Entitlement or enlightenment: Which will it be?
Bitterness is the illusion that others cause our emptiness. Only human puppets choose their puppeteer. Why allow others to make us dance or shudder at their whim and pleasure? Emerson put it this way: “Why should the way I feel be determined by the thoughts in someone else’s head?” Here are two paths to disempowerment, to psychological castration, to the “illusion of injustice” in my dear father’s phrase, to bitterness and to victim mentality.
The 4 biggest myths about science
Myth No. 1: Science does not integrate faith. Who invented the Big Bang Theory? Was it an atheist who convinced Einstein that because time is not linear, this explosion could be the womb of time? Was it an agnostic who claimed that the Big Bang Theory is compatible with God as Creator? No, it was a Roman Catholic priest named Georges Lemaître! The atom was conceived and named before the microscope was invented. Discoveries of Copernicus predated the telescope. Theory comes before proof. Are you ready?
3 pillars of P.H.D.
Hatred is contempt without the requirement of offense. Normally, there’s a reason for getting angry; being violated comes first, then reaction. That’s the common sequence, unless you suffer from what I call P.H.D. Put another way, hatred is hostility without cause and revenge without conscience. Usually, what people do to us and what they say determine how we assess their character, but some progressives judge us only by affiliation. Our actions and character seem to be irrelevant.
