Marble Treasure Installs New Marble And Granite For Bathrooms And Fireplaces
(PRWEB) April 29, 2014
ThinkGlass is proud to present a new way to utilize glass in an architectural setting: impressive glass panels for doors.
ThinkGlass announced today that they have debuted a new category of architectural applications for their glass product line. Glass doors and glass panels made with ThinkGlass special textured glass are the latest offering from glass master Michel Mailhot.
Glass has long been a key element in architectural design, appreciated for its natural beauty and its ability to transport or transform light. Often the elements are glass countertops, translucent windows with artistic colors, glass sculptures or glass vanity tables.
Large glass panels are rarely textured, and almost never contain hand painted embedded colors. These great architectural elements from ThinkGlass are versatile and can be used as panels between rooms, and can be made either in sliding or tilting models depending on the preference of the user. These doors offer a more original aspect than regular glass panels or glass panes with patterns or images applied to them.
Architects and designers appreciate ThinkGlass' glass designs for their versatility and unique properties. With its vast array of textures and artistic movements, ThinkGlass creations will dramatically improve any architectural design and create a special attraction element.
Since glass counters are gaining popularity as the hottest new material for residential kitchen and bathroom countertops, it was only a matter of time until glass would be used in a multitude of architectural applications. From banks and hotels, to retail stores and restaurants, all manner of businesses are now discovering that glass adds a dimension of beauty and elegance to the workspace, and are asking their designers and architects to incorporate glass into their designs.
No other material has this relationship with light; glass is like a light magnet. The piece of glass on a sunny morning is not the same at sunset and will be different again the next morning if it is rather cloudy, said ThinkGlass glass master Michel Mailhot. Glass is living through light. It's captivating. It is also the best chameleon material that can meld into any decor or space. In the history of the glass was never set aside, it is always present in the human construction.
Glass has the rare strength and durability needed to withstand the challenges of constant daily use and the end result is always mesmerizing. Go for purity, go for ThinkGlass.
About ThinkGlass The ThinkGlass story began in 1999 in an empty room under the leadership of two creative individuals who were passionate about beautiful glasswork. Today, the company is one of the most successful glass design and manufacturing studios in the world with a shop that encompasses more than 30,000 square feet, 27 employees and 21 state-of-the-art, custom made ovens.

ThinkGlass Adds Glass Doors/Panels to Its New Approach to Glass Architectural Applications
12 hours ago Volumes of Twitter posts containing narco words.
When violence related to Mexico's drug war erupted in 2006, Andrs Monroy-Hernndez kept in close touch with friends and relatives in the north of the country, where he is from and where much of the violence was concentrated. He soon learned that the local news media were avoiding the topic for fear of reprisals and that citizens were turning to Twitter and other social media to share information and create their own alert networks.
As the years passed and the shootings, kidnappings, and assassinations continued, Monroy-Hernndeza researcher at Microsoft Research's FUSE Labs who specializes in social computingperceived a shift in the citizen reporting on social media.
"I started to notice how the events were still being reported, but in the same way people would complain about traffic," he says.
Panic, shock, and frustration seemed less evident, even as the death toll rose to at least 60,000 by 2012. He wondered if people were becoming desensitized to the violenceand he hoped that wasn't the case.
In 2012, Monroy-Hernndez reached out to his Microsoft Research colleague Munmun De Choudhury, now a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, whose expertise includes emotion analysis. Along with a third collaborator, Gloria Mark of the University of California, Irvine, they set out to analyze huge data sets from Twitter to determine whether desensitization was in fact happening.
Their study resulted in a paper that will be presented during the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2014) in Toronto, which opens April 26 and is organized by the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). It is one of 27 papers accepted for CHI 2014 authored or co-authored by researchers at Microsoft Researchand one of seven best-paper winners from Microsoft Research.
By analyzing and comparing Twitter activity from two periods, August 2010 and December 2012, in four major citiesMonterrey, Reynosa, Saltillo, and VeracruzMonroy-Hernndez and his colleagues found that despite consistent or increasing levels of violence, the Twitter posts exhibited distinct attributes of "affective desensitization," or emotional numbing, over time. These attributes included a lessening of negative emotion in posts that used "narco language"terms that have emerged to describe specific atrocities associated with the drug war and circumstances under which murder victims have been found.
The researchers hope their findings can contribute to theories about socio-psychological responses to crisis, and they see important implications for public health, as well as for the role of civic media during times of crisis. Not only Twitter but also Facebook and other social-media outlets might become important sources of insight into how communities respond to ongoing violence, and they could help determine what public-health interventions would best serve those communities.

FrontStreet Facility Solutions (FrontStreet) has partnered with Make-A-Wish Connecticut to grant one boy's wish for the room of his dreams. Nine-year-old Southington resident Andrew shared his renovation aspirations with Make-A-Wish, whose mission is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
"This partnership with Make-A-Wish, and specifically Andrew's wish, was the ideal opportunity for giving back," Joseph Scaretta, FrontStreet chief development Officer, said. "The room renovation allowed us to go beyond monetary donation to creating an innovative solution based on FrontStreet's expertise and partnerships. We are so honored to be a part of granting such an incredible young man's wish."
FrontStreet and Make-A-Wish officially kicked off the execution of the project on April 21, and a celebration for Andrew to reveal his new room will take place on April 29 - World Wish Day. World Wish Day is a nationally celebrated event in honor of the first wish ever granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. After learning about Andrew's wish and that he's a big pasta fan, the West Hartford Olive Garden joined the effort and will provide complimentary catering for the reveal event.
"World Wish Day is the day we celebrate the first wish ever granted," explained Dominick. "Make-A-Wish chapters from all around the world will be granting wishes of all different types on this special day as we remember together our grassroots beginnings from over 30 years ago, and celebrate the over 250,000 children who have been touched by a wish since the first wish in 1980."
On April 29, in celebration of World Wish Day, communities will come together and experience the power of a wish. Make-A-Wish thanks FrontStreet Facility Solutions and Olive Garden for their support and generosity towards Andrew's wish and the celebration of all the wishes that have come true for kids around the world.
