555 KUBIK | facade projection | from urbanscreen on Vimeo.
The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture – the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves – describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

If you perform a variety of tasks at your work what job title do you feel you deserve? Is it the one you were hired for or a combination? Do you think that your pay depends on your job title and therefore you need to be extra careful in selecting one or do you not care about titles at all?
This is the dilemma I had at my work recently. I was hired as a Web Designer but my role in the company has greatly expanded to coding, some IT work, managing outside contractors, managing our Ad server. I did a little research and decided that Web Producer correctly fits my job responsibilities. My reasoning behind the change in title is that I don’t want to limit myself in my title since a first impressions do count to a certain degree.
Have you experienced something similar? I would love to hear your story.

Website: http://www.guilherme.tv/tyger/
An absolutely magical short by Guilherme Marcondes of Brazil, based on a William Blake poem (see below). Tyger blends puppetry, illustration, photography and CGI. Dreamy, mesmerizing, brilliant.
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

There will be times when you need to not show a category on a certain page. You can either code this manually or use a plugin. Here are some options:
Manually Excluding a Category
Step 1: Go to your WordPress Dashboard
Step 2: Expand the Posts dropdown from the left sidebar
Step 3: Click on the Categories link
Step 4: Click the Category you want to exclude
Step 4: In you browser address bar you will see a url that contains your Category ID. It looks something like this:
<br/>http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=5<br/>
The Category ID is 5 at the end of the url (cat_ID=5).
Step 5: Open the Functions.php file for your Theme
Step 6: Past the following code before the closing PHP tage ?> and make sure you change -xx in the code below to your category id
function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set('cat', '-xx');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');
Try it out. I will be updating this post with other examples of excluding categories and plugins you can use.
