What are some examples of a major crime?

 Stupidity mixed with greed is a major crime. Nearly 70% of Rajasthan(342,239square kms) and 50% of Gujarat(196,077square kms) are already natural deserts, and yet the businessmen are influencing the government for deforestation in other states.

Like foolish people who want to show off opulence they are installing air-conditioners after chopping down trees. The torture globally known as the climate crisis is being led by India. We have the hottest places that are hotter than the desert countries. We have the worst pollution with the most polluted places here.

Ironically, our current government is promoting ancient knowledge through additions in the curriculum. Destroying tribal areas is destruction of ancient knowledge and wildlife heritage. One example from Odisha is of a variety red ants which are used in traditional cuisine and are of medical value. Sadly, over-mining is polluting the area and yet the insensitive businessmen are not stopping. The police are using shells and arresting the tribals who worship the mountains, rivers and soil. Even the Aravalli mountains which are somewhat protecting us here in the North are being set for trimming.

People who understand the value of forests should be allowed to teach and inspire others for stopping deforestation and encouraging reforestation.

Industries should be set up in desert areas, and rainwater harvesting should be done for increasing greencover. No need to harass the green forests while keeping the deserts idle.

We are because of plants not factories.

What are some examples of truly good design?

 Here are some examples of simple, appealing, and thoughtfully designed pieces.

1. A chair that fits perfectly around the table.

2. A chair designed to resemble the sushi found in a sushi restaurant.

3. A bag for carrying pets.

4. A banana peel-shaped sign that reads, "Slippery. Danger."

5. Consideration for our customers

The orange basket is for people who want to talk to a store employee.

The black basket is for people who want to enjoy shopping on their own.

6. An advertisement for this watch.

7. The door handle at Snake Park.

8. Subway entrance.

9. Doors that can be closed from both sides.

What are some examples of "the last known photo of"?

 Here are a few:

1. Bhagat Singh secretly photographed in jail during his first arrest in July 1927

2. Albert Einstein photographed outside his home in March 1955

3. U.S. presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy after being shot in the head on 5 June 1968

4. Amy Winehouse pictured walking in North London a week before her death in July 2011

5. Anne Frank photographed with her sister Margot some time during mid 1942 prior to being arrested and thrown into concentration camps

6. Adolf Hitler's last photo.

7. Steve Jobs’ last photograph days before dying after a long battle with pancreatic cancer

8. Aviator Amelia Earhart pictured before taking her final flight

9. Martin Luther King, Jr. photographed during one of his final interviews in April 1968

10. U.S. President John F Kennedy in his motorcade a minute before he was assassinated on 22 November 1963

11. One of the last photos of the King of Pop Michael Jackson, as he rehearses for his final set of shows

12. Paul Walker photographed in the Porsche that minutes later crashed resulting in his death on 30 November 2013

Edit: Many of you people are getting confused as to who drove the car for the 12th point. It was Paul Walker’s friend Roger Rodas. He was just sitting in the passenger seat.

What are the best examples of a really good design?

 

A library that opened up in China recently.

Here are some fun facts about this uniquely designed architectural marvel:

• It has been given the shape of an eye, both outside as well as inside.
• Look from outside, and it would seem like an eye is staring at you through the building’s glazed facade.

• Get inside and it will feel like you are literally walking inside an eyeball; exactly the reason why the atrium of the building has a giant spherical structure in the center, you guessed it, like a pupil.

• The five-story building has a row-like design from floor to ceiling to look like a continuous book shelf, where books exists till the 2nd floor only. Rest of the rows have image of books printed on them; maybe to ensure visitors have their attention glued to the books instead of marveling the design of this magnificent architecture. Subtle!

• The continuous bookshelf design was initially planned to make every row accessible - floor-to-ceiling. Not kidding! The plan was dropped to fast-track construction.

For a world that was presumably moving to ebooks and online reading, this library redefines book reading.

About design, lets just say it hits the ball straight out of the park, where park is a metaphor for ‘Earth’!
