			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Joonas Vartola" src="http://gadgetophilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/joonas_vartola.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="250" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In  1966, fanatics of comic superhero Batman were impressed by the presence  of the legendary character in the Batman TV series Batman. At that time, people were able to help, but wonder if the luxury car was actually present. To the surprise of all was the car for real and was actually fully operational. Oh, the car was not for mass production by several limitations, which markets the complete design, safety and feasibility. The Batmobile was actually a Lincoln Futura, designed and developed in 1954 by Ford Motor Company. The fantastic car and very impressive was really a &#8220;concept car&#8221;. Many other concept cars had already, before the popularity of the Batmobile. But the Lincoln Futura certainly paved the way for global buyers who know more about the concept of these vehicles.<span id="more-950"></span></p>
<p>So what are the concept cars? These special vehicles are prototypes of ideal cars that will be presented for public exhibition. For  those unfamiliar with the traditions of the global automotive industry,  carmakers are constantly designing and manufacture special wagons to  their capacity and ability to develop and manufacture vehicles that show  very useful and functional. Concept cars are conceptual in nature wherein car manufacturers work on their concept of ideal and futuristic vehicle.</p>
<p>To many times have concept cars, the market for the development and preparation for the launch of similar car models. For  example, in the 1980 989 Porsche was introduced as a concept car, which  later became the forerunner of a series Porsche Panamera. In  other special cases highlighted design concept cars and production  situations, as described in the Volvo YCC, a prototype in 2001 by a team  composed entirely of women car designers.</p>
<p>Usually, concept automobiles remain just concepts. The vehicles usually do not mass production for several reasons. For  a prototype of the exotic, non-traditional and very expensive materials  are trained to mass production would clearly not be possible. Some concept cars are made of materials that would never be useful for real cars like paper and carbon fiber. Another reason why concept automobiles remain just concepts and the refinement of the design and layout is unusable. The  original Batmobile for example, are not produced in mass production,  because the car would certainly not be effectively and safely.</p>
<p>In traditional practice, concept cars are presented on the market and admired for their sophistication and freshness. But it will remain so. Usually, after exposure, the cars are destroyed because they would not make sense. Sometimes,  car manufacturers, the concept car for public exhibition and the museum  to keep it for other than a strategy to the list of companies to extend  patents.</p>
<p>Concept Cars that know most fans are not generally accessible. Although  the cars could come with engines, turbines and all other necessary  parts of a car, driving and operating comfort, it would not be possible  to complete. Models of luxury cars, take account of the clay, fiberglass, wax, plastic and metal, both technically as concept cars. The people hope that in future, concept cars would be more than just concepts. This time, some things do not stay impossible. Cars are certainly more impressive learned for the future, and they do not need concept cars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="negative thinking?" src="https://static.flatworldknowledge.com/sites/all/files/imagecache/book/28421/fwk-solomon-fig03_006.jpg" alt="" width="330" height="274" />Self concept</strong> in simple words means what u think of your self. Your views and perceptions about yourself are termed as self concept. How you think about your self affects your behavior to a great extent. When you have a positive view of self, you are confident, have high self esteem and resulting to a positive self concept. On the other hand, when you are low in love of self, and don&#8217;t have a positive opinion of self. Criticize and judge yourself a lot, blame your self and have high degree of self doubt, all these contribute to a negative self concept. The seven reasons given here are my views based on famous theories or schools of psychology. Let us examine these seven reasons for negative self concept.<span id="more-984"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sigmund Freud, the father of psychodynamic theories stated that humans are driven mainly by the sexual drive (also called libido) and the aggressive drive. Freud explained that the libido mainly consisted of the id, ego and the superego. The id works on the pleasure principle that demands the immediate gratification of all impulses and engages in primary process thinking commonly known as wish fulfillment. Parts of the id spills into the ego which tries to gratify the ids&#8217; demands in a socially accepted way, it works on the reality principal and engages in secondary process thinking. The superego is the storehouse of rules and regulations a person learns from his/her parents and society. They are the absolute moral standards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the person is dominated mainly by the superego, the ego tries constantly to find a balance between the ongoing conflicts between the id and the superego. One side a person wants to fulfill their desires and on the other side has moral and social obligations. Since the superego is dominating, it pressurizes the individual to comply, if the individual fails to comply, he/she faces a lot of guilt. This guilt often leads to a negative self concept.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Next view is that of Abraham Maslow. Abraham Maslow gave a hierarchy of needs. Needs low in the hierarchy must be met before needs higher in the hierarchy can be satisfied. At the base of this hierarchy deep roots are observed pertaining to the need of belongingness, love, security, and basic needs like hunger, thirst, warmth. Above those lie aesthetic needs like beauty and order, cognitive needs like to know, to be aware, and esteem needs like to achieve, be competent. At the tip of this hierarchy stands self actualization.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Generally people satisfy their basic and lower order needs like food and shelter, safety and security, but they do not fulfill their need for love and belongingness. They lack these needs and thus, stun their personal growth. The lack of these needs often lead to frustration and thus lead to a negative self concept.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Erick Erickson gave a series of psychosocial developmental stages. At each stage individuals are faced with conflict or crises. How they deal with the crises can have an effect on their development. When dealt with positively can lead to a positive concept and if not dealt with can lead to a negative self concept. Let us see some of these crises, at infancy one falls in the crises of trust versus mistrust, at the early childhood one falls in the crises of autonomy versus shame or doubt, between the ages of three to five one falls in the crises of initiative versus guilt, between the ages of six to puberty one falls in the crises of industry versus inferiority, at adolescence one falls in the crises of identity versus confusion, at early adulthood one falls in the crises of intimacy versus isolation, at late adulthood one falls in the crises of generativity versus stagnation, and finally at old age one falls in the crises of integrity versus despair.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="smile of success" src="http://www.thoughtful-self-improvement.com/image-files/smile_businessman.jpg" alt="" width="168" height="251" />When a crisis is not resolved it leads to a negative self concept. An example, in early adulthood the individual is faces the crises of intimacy versus isolation. If the person is not able to resolve this crisis and hence feels a sense of isolation, that sense of being isolated can lead to a negative self concept. Behaviorism states that reinforcement and conditioning play a dominant role in shaping a persons behavior. Behaviors are learnt through experiences in the environment. Behaviorism has two main principles, classical conditioning and operant conditioning. When a person behaves in an unacceptable manner, depending on the feedback or response of the people around him/her, that behavior is punished or reinforced. This will have an impact on the person. More than often people are not aware of the impact of their response on the opposite person. Consider the example, when a boy behaves in a way that is not acceptable to his mother, she might hit him or shout at him and say &#8220;you are a bad boy&#8221;. This statement may make the boy feel that he is not good and he may start to develop a negative self concept of him self as &#8220;I m a bad boy&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">When trying to understand the reasons why people develop a negative self concept it must be remembered that first n foremost it is the person&#8217;s perception of him/her self. Thoughts and feelings affect and shape our behavior and emotions. They contribute to the maximum extent in the development our sense of self. A psychologist Albert Ellis developed a technique called as <strong>A B C D E</strong> technique. Ellis introduces the rational emotive therapy. The ABCDE technique involves:<br />
<strong>A</strong> activating agent<br />
<strong>B</strong> belief<br />
<strong>C</strong> consequence<br />
<strong>D</strong> dispute irrational beliefs<br />
<strong>E</strong> effect</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">I would like to explain this theory by saying that feelings lead to thoughts and thoughts lead to behaviors. There fore all thoughts have some kind of feelings underlining them. We can not stop or control the activating agent may it be an object or an event, so to change our consequence to a situation we have to change our belief system. Most of the time, we are not aware of the fact that we as individuals consistently talk to our self, we are consistently talking to our selves. In my opinion we talk to are selves in two ways. We are either motivating our self or we are consistently judging or criticizing our selves. When our inner self, our inner voices are too harsh in judging our every move, it creates pressure on us and if we don&#8217;t behave in accordance with our own expectations, we feel guilty. These thoughts and feelings often lead to our negative self concept.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another reason for a negative self concept thought the concept may be temporary is the biological factor. Biologically, a negative self concept can be explained in terms of chemical imbalances, i.e. sometimes when our hormones are not in balance they can produce discomfort that can lead to a negative self concept. Consider an example, sometimes a thyroid dysfunction can cause depression and lead to a negative self concept. Humans are social beings; they can not live in isolation. Each society forms its own sets of regulations which become the base of our behavior. The society defines the roles we perform in our environment. It is the society that makes us what we are and it is through social comparison that we feel &#8220;accepted&#8221;; hence, we are obligated to obey the social norms. Unfortunately we humans are hedonistic in nature; we find it difficult to follow the social norms all the time. When we do not follow the norms, the society puts us under pressure. This pressure sometimes leads to a negative self concept.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">It should be known that all the different factors work together to form either our positive or negative self concept. But the most important step is to realize and be aware of our environment, and know what the different aspects that shape us are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In the study of  architectural design, the term &#8220;minimalist&#8221; no goods of increasingly  rare, although the trend of all the drawings are not more &#8220;minimalist&#8221;  behind it. Not only the house  minimalist, minimalist garden, minimalist kitchen, minimalist sofa and others are now proliferating term &#8220;minimalist&#8221; behind it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the marketing world of  the house so as not to lose the use of the term &#8220;minimalist&#8221; to sell  their products so that consumers have made the term &#8220;minimalist&#8221;  according to their perception, or even the term &#8220;minimalist&#8221; measure their properties, so that people who slept with the term &#8220;minimalist&#8221; is described or be described as previous campaigns.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, there was a  change in the perception of &#8220;minimalist&#8221; in the current context, where  the term &#8220;minimalist&#8221; in the true sense is a simple design, using  existing materials, not too expensive, and produce in a way wonderful, with support  cost is not expensive. Although the term  &#8220;minimalist&#8221; role in the modern sense is a versatile design that is  clean, accurate, small, vibrant colors that blend, so impress expose the  wall of the house, and many lines in combination wall it is more interesting. For the term &#8220;minimalist&#8221;  the second is widely used today, so if the budget is done, one  immediately thinks twice to build with the &#8220;minimalist&#8221; model.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although there is a  change of direction, not necessarily minimalist houses are not  enthusiastic about the potential of women at home, because design is  different, enamel fat, and the results are wonderful, potential  consumers include the fee for build by  design house that has been done because the budget plan also contains  details of fees can be assessed if there is a price range or not.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, before  designing a house plan, which must exist in your mind is that designing a  minimalist home in the truest sense, or if the design is minimalist in  the sense of the house now?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.creditcardindia.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Small-Kitchen.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-208" title="Small Kitchen" src="http://www.creditcardindia.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Small-Kitchen-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Who says the ideal size  should be large kitchen? Even a tiny size, if laid  out carefully, all angles can be utilized so as to create convenience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With a size of 2.5 mx 3  m, a small kitchen that looks slick. Besides being a closet  set a very natural making it look sweet, neatness became a key  arrangement of grace this kitchen. By structuring practical  all, the couple&#8217;s kitchen and Sapta Juliansyah Sapta Noveriani is indeed  suitable for the open house concept. That is, the kitchen has  become one of the spaces that have other functions in the vicinity.<span id="more-204"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Mindi Wood cabinets<br />
</strong></em><br />
All cabinets that he  changed a year ago was ordered Sapta in which there are many furniture  craftsmen around the house. &#8220;The message itself is  more comfortable furniture, because besides the size and model according  to the needs, the price is cheaper,&#8221; he said. A set of kitchen cabinets  that he found costing about USD 780. This thought is inclusive  of postage and the cost of these pairs in her kitchen cupboard.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Preferred materials for  the kitchen is Sapta Mindi wood. This timber type has a  fiber that is similar to the Dutch identity, denoted as a large and  clearly visible. Another consideration  when he chose wood color Mindi is a young (bright). Because the kitchen quite  small, bright color is not expected to narrow further to make an  impression in the kitchen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mindi wood is then given a  finishing melamine nodes, so strong impression and the flow of  natural-good grooves visible. He chose a glossy or  shiny finish, so that the surface of the cabinet is not quick dirty  stains from the kitchen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maximize All Angle</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To be maximized for all  the storage space, a closet full of Sapta into the corners beneath the  stairs. Accordingly, any form of triangle easily found on her kitchen cupboards. &#8220;If I leave open angle, I  was still able to store items on top. However, in the place of  dust can be nested, &#8220;he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not just under the  stairs, in every corner of this room also make the storage. Examples are the drawers  that line the small box under the kitchen table, next to the grill  tools. While it, the drawers are  rather large in size are placed at the corner of the kitchen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.creditcardindia.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Door-window.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-182" title="Door-window" src="http://www.creditcardindia.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Door-window-300x258.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="258" /></a><span style="color: #006633;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #006633;">Danish windows are a newly established window supplier  based in Toomebridge, Northern Ireland.  We supply and fit only the  highest-quality timber/aluminium, timber, fibrx, glaslux or PVC windows  and doors, made to order in any size and design.  Customer satisfaction and the supply of affordable, quality products is  our main objective. Having one of the most flexible product ranges on  the market, we offer customers products suitable for any kind of  building project whatever the style or environment. All windows and  doors are fully factory-finished and glazed. Our products range from  modern to classic style over Cottage, Victorian and Georgian.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Security &amp; Locks for Windows &amp; Doors</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Keeping would-be intruders out is an important concern for most homeowners. Though hinged doors are relatively easy to protect with proper latches and deadbolts, windows and sliding glass doors are not as simple to secure. Windows and doors that slide can be forced open or lifted off their tracks, and glazing can be broken. <span id="more-181"></span>In addition to installing locking devices, you can enhance security by replacing all ordinary glass with tempered, laminated, or wire-reinforced glass or with plastic, as well as by installing perimeter alarm systems. Several ready-made devices are available to make prying open a window and/or removing a sliding glass door from its track more difficult. The right locking device to choose will depend on whether you need to secure a sliding window or door or a double-hung window.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To keep a panel from sliding, use track grips, which are tightened by a thumbscrew or key, or use metal stops that straddle the lower track and are secured with a lever or thumbscrew that clamps them in place. Or use a spring bolt, which is screwed to the sill or base track and has a pin that snaps through a hole drilled into the edge of the lower track and the bottom of the sash. Even more secure is a bar that screws to the doorjamb and swings up into a saddle on the edge of the door to lock it in place; an advantage of this type of bar is that it can be adjusted to allow the door to be partially open.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The easiest way to keep an inside panel from sliding is to drop a dowel or a piece of stiff tubing into the empty portion of the lower track. Cut it 1/4 inch shorter than the distance between the panel and the jamb.Double-hung windows can be locked with wedge locks, key-operated latches, or locking pins that go through one sash and into the next.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">No surprise that decks, pergolas and gazebos are probably the three most common backyard home improvements for homeowners. People love their decks and pride themselves in having a beautiful outdoor living space &#8211; an extension of the home &#8211; to enjoy the warmer months.<span id="more-174"></span></p>
<p>Pergolas, on the other hand are beautiful entrance way arches that define gates or walkways. They compliment fences or they can also act like a open air roof structures over a deck. A pergola can be the perfect touch to finish off a patio such as this hot tub spa. Gazebos are beautiful roof covered structures, usually open to the air or can be screened and are places to relax and enjoy your surroundings.</p>
<p>Hot tubs are often fitted into gazebos to provide coverage from the rain or even snow during the winter months. If you would like to learn more about each of these topics click on decks, pergolas or gazebos below and I will discuss such things as design options, building tips, and where to you can get started.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Urban design shapes the form, function, and character of the built environment. Through  the process of arranging buildings, transportation facilities and  infrastructure, urban landscape, and other public spaces, urban  design helps to create functional and attractive neighborhood and  communities.<br />
<strong><br />
Evoke a Sense of  Place</strong><br />
In cities, a sense of place may derive in part from the  natural environment, but more often it&#8217;s made up streets and  buildings, the way they&#8217;re built and look, and the way they&#8217;ve been  used over time. Especially in cities, a place includes the people who occupy  it.</p>
<p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5QBbftrlI/AAAAAAAAAB8/_XdfSIp1oQc/s1600-h/evoke+sense+of+place.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();}  catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385830189872557650" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5QBbftrlI/AAAAAAAAAB8/_XdfSIp1oQc/s320/evoke+sense+of+place.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Enrich the Public Realm</strong><br />
The   public realm includes all publicly owned streets, sidewalks, rights  of ways, parks and other publicly accessible open spaces and  infrastructure. As an attractive and functionable area, the public realm  should draw people off the streets and out of their cars to  experience the area. <span id="more-412"></span>The public realm is enriched by design standards  that encourage mixed-use developments and promote walking.</p>
<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5cUQkbV5I/AAAAAAAAACE/EUXnn22nl40/s1600-h/public+realm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385843707496585106" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5cUQkbV5I/AAAAAAAAACE/EUXnn22nl40/s320/public+realm.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Put Pedestrians First</strong><br />
Urban design  standards should enhance the pedestrian environment by promoting  walkability. &#8220;Walkability&#8221; is the value of how well the environment  accommodates people living, visiting, working, shopping, and enjoying  time spent in a place, without cars and walking to their  destinations.</p>
<p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5cjsjnETI/AAAAAAAAACM/-i4auDZUEvU/s1600-h/pedestrian.jpg" onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385843972707389746" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5cjsjnETI/AAAAAAAAACM/-i4auDZUEvU/s320/pedestrian.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
Build to Human Scale</strong><br />
Human scale  is the proportional relationship of the design elements to human  dimensions, presence, and movement. Buildings and the urban  environment should welcome people and encourage them enjoy the area.  Lower levels and building facades should employ architectural  elements and design details that pedestrians can appreciate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5ddqf5LhI/AAAAAAAAACU/2GRCMGIzeEM/s1600-h/human+scale.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385844968587341330" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ak7dZRaM7cc/Sr5ddqf5LhI/AAAAAAAAACU/2GRCMGIzeEM/s320/human+scale.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
<strong><br />
Fit the Neighborhood</strong><br />
Neighborhoods  have recognizable physical, functional, or lifestyle characteristics  that set them apart from other places in the city. Urban design  standards should enhance what is best and most unique about an area,  and preserve the character of the neighborhood for the environment of  all.</p>

Frame the Street</strong><br />
Buildings are the  primary elements providing the frame of a street. The degree of  enclosure formed by the distance between buildings across the street,  their height, the presence and openness of the setbacks from the  street, and the width of setbacks between buildings all shape our  view of the street.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Add Rhythm and Pattern<br />
</strong>Rhythm  refers to a regular or harmonious repetition of elements, from the  windows on the facade to whole buildings on the street. Successive  facades with the similar proportions and shared patterns of the  openings-not necessarily identical-set up a rhythm on the street. At  the scale of the city, a pattern is a set of the relationships  between the spacing and orientation of buildings; between buildings  and the streets; between buildings and the open space; and between  buildings and the way people inhabit them.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
Entertain the Eye</strong><br />
The urban  environment should be an attractive, interesting place that draws in  residents by providing a visually interesting and stimulating area or  neighborhood.</p>
