It can be done with old features, but this one is direction-aware! One code for both directions (left-to-right and right-to-left)

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

Either a low-resolution, but real, map of New Zealand, or an AI-generated, fake map of New Zealand. The text labels for each city on the map are impossible to read. Is the illegibility due to compression artifacts in the original clipart file or to poor rendering of text in the latest AI image generation tool?

This is a fabulous little book. I expected it to be interesting, but I never expected to learn *so much* about Wellington and NZ architectural history. Can’t wait to check out the new version!

Great mix of heritage and contemporary architecture, as any great city has… Dunedin next, then really must update the AKL volume. More new builds here, of course. Though depends if I get new role…

what have you done today? me, I am upholding "Toilet Revolution" Thought, as outlined by Chairman Yamamoto of the Japan Toilet Association j-toilet.com/greetings/
Japan Toilet Association (JTA) started as a small group named “Toiletpia Association” in 1984. At the time, there were only about 60% of toilets with flush systems. The railway station or public toilets were quite uncomfortable. Toiletpia Association focused on the toilet issues and discussed it from the perspective of urban development. It was truly a unique group to gather as a salon style in Shinbashi in Tokyo. where would be like a real social networking site for the salaried men today. The participants enjoyed drinking and talking about toilet issues. I was one of the organizers of this salon. This unusual group of toilet enthusiasts from various fields gather to discuss toilet issues openly. It was featured in the media, and then became known in daily society. Thereafter, JTA was founded the following year, in 1985. May 2025 will mark the 40th anniversary of JTA. In 2016, the association was transformed from a voluntary organization into a general incorporated association in Japan. The goal of JTA was to “Create a toilet culture, create a comfortable toilet, and contribute to the improvement of the social issues related to toilets.” Forty years ago, no one expected that the public toilets, which were called DSDS (dirty, smelly, dirty, scary) places. However, nowadays they are described as “Japan can be proud of the toilets as the highest culture level” which refers to Toiletology Encyclopedia. JTA has been playing a leading role and “Toilet revolution” has spread to various regions and fields. JTA and its members have played effective roles in all aspects, including the evolution of the buildings, the facilities, and the equipment, the enhanced cleaning methods and the maintenance. It influences the national and local government policies, and Japan’s toilet culture is to penetrate the world. Now, many organizations like JTA activities are founded in several countries. Yamamoto Kohei, Chairman of Japan Toilet Association
