Sister Maria: Letter From The Devil Private Translation

Letter From the Devil: Sister Maria: Translation By Tommy Langra: Disclaimer: My translating capacity is a natural capacity. I have not been tutored, nor have I learnt other languages. However, I have been tested by many people in translating everything from ancient Aramaic, to modern Arabic, Hebrew, Ancient Norse and Egyptian. Most Often when translating contemporary languages, the comment is made ‘You translate like you are reading a mind.’ For those people who need an absolute and direct English translation, they will need to take the meaning of what I write here and apply the dictionary. This means that what I write will unveil the intent, yet some complex notions (such as words like ‘negotiate’ which could be translated as ‘a discourse between to people wherein there is a sense of aggression) or words are extrapolated.

A TREATISE ON THE FUTURE: CONSIDERATION of ARCHITECHTURIA: Technologies that will Partly Shape Our Urban Fabric. Thomas J. Barker   This document contains a brief overview of current technologies, from semiconductor fabric, to mention of space elevators, it is hoped that the information provided will pique curiosity into realizing the existing technologies that will be apart of our future. It is believed that solar technology and wind, and the deployment of electric cars is already considered and understood. It also refrains from discussion on e-waste, and lithium procurement (whereby discarded electronics are seen as valuable resources for batteries, and the development of technology. Primarily the use of such things as DC current computer cooling fans, combined and placed on the side of buildings to create massive power sources. Or even the extraction from discarded computers of precious metals such as gold). These technologies will be obsolete in the future, yet will

REVIEW: David Beynon, Brandon Gardiner, Ursula de Jong, Mirjana Lozanovska, Flavia Marcello, “An issues paper: the roots/routes of Australian Architecture: Elements f Alternative Architectural History,” in Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand: 31, Translation Covering three major areas of the development of Australian architecture, and with an attempt to define the ‘Britishness’ of the Australian psyche, through the difficulty of Migrant, and émigré architects to be included in the formulation of the Australian society. In writing that, there is scope to suggest that the émigré architects that were nominated or who through their own prowess obtained high rank in the countries institutions that developed the built environment, there appears to be a reluctance by the authors to support the notion that these weren’t exceptional, nor was there any formal empirical discussion of demographics, looking at the actual population levels.
