a new high skyscraper in Turin-都灵一座新的摩天大楼

Higher or lower than the Mole Antonelliana?

Here an italian debate related with the construction of a really high skyscraper in the town of Turin:

RENZO PIANO - «Il grattacielo non deturperà Torino»

TORINO — Sarà alto 180 metri, 14 in più della Mole Antonelliana, fino ad oggi, oltre che il simbolo, l'edificio più alto della città. Ma il grattacielo progettato da Renzo Piano per Intesa Sanpaolo, che fa litigare la maggioranza di Sergio Chiamparino e vede come oppositori la sinistra radicale, gli ambientalisti e la Lega, non sarà «un monolite che deturpa il panorama». È stato lo stesso Piano, vincitore contro i progetti di Hiroshi Hara, Carlos Lamela, Dominique Perrault e Daniel Liebeskind, a chiarirlo ieri con una lettera al sindaco. «La cartolina distribuita da chi si oppone (con lo slogan "non grattiamo il cielo di Torino", ndr) è ingannevole - ha scritto l'architetto - e fa apparire la torre come due volte più alta e più grande di ciò che sarà in realtà. Inoltre, il suo volume non sarà pieno ma movimentato e sfaccettato».

E per mostrare le caratteristiche del progetto, ora in mostra a Palazzo Madama, Piano ha mandato al sindaco disegni e schizzi, mentre si attende che in Consiglio comunale arrivi la variante al piano regolatore necessaria a realizzare la nuova costruzione nel cuore della città. La superficie del grattacielo sarà di 50mila metri quadrati, mentre il costo 350 milioni di euro.

twilight switch (High Low light intensity)-开关（高低灯强）

Product types

The twilight switch, as the name suggests, once mounted and, if programmed, automatically goes into action with the arrival of the dark (dusk) and turns off with the arrival of dawn. It acts according to the brightness of the environment in which it is placed. Some models can also be programmed to blink in the sense that keep theenvironment in the dark or illuminated at random, as if to simulate the presence ofpeople who are not there, or go out after a few hours after dusk, without waiting for the arrival dawn.

population density-人口密度

Population density (in agriculture standing stock and standing crop) is a measurement of population per unit area or unit volume. It is frequently applied to living organisms, and particularly to humans. It is a key geographic term.Several of the most densely-populated territories in the world are city-states, microstates, micronations, or dependencies. These territories share a relatively small area and a high urbanization level, with an economically specialized city population drawing also on rural resources outside the area, illustrating the difference between high population density and overpopulation.

the difference lies in the height-区别取决于高度

The images represent two very famous places but at the same time opposing. The Grand Canyon (picture left) is a very characteristic for its high and spectacular views. Instead, the Caribbean (right) show that the low altitude may have a only charm.

constellations on wall-墙上的星座

This is the visual art on the wall: Stellar Attraction. (on view at the Art Academy of Cincinnati's Pearlman Gallery from January 16-February 13, 2009) Copious amounts of the blank gallery walls have been left as breathing room around an impressive number of diminutive objects hung high above one's head and low enough to nearly touch the baseboards of the space. How one progresses through the space is less linear than exhibitions where work is hung consistently at a natural viewing height or displayed on pedestals. In their arrangement and in the treatment of the surfaces of the different works, Seeman interplays the order of the grid against the unpredictable compositions of constellations.

history of high and low Tea-餐茶和下午茶的历史

What is English tea time really like? In reality there are two types: high tea and low tea.

Ever since the late 1700’s, tea time has been an integral part of English life. When people from other countries imagine life in England, they almost always picture the English sitting down at a table set with delicate china, socializing over hot cups of tea and little cakes.

Most little girls in the US grow up having tea parties with stuffed animals, using tiny tea sets and talking in “British” accents. Formal “English tea time” birthday parties are becoming increasing popular, as well.

High Tea Versus Low Tea

In reality, there are two types of tea time in England:

• Low tea or afternoon tea
• High tea or “meat tea”

Low or Afternoon Tea

The menu for a proper afternoon tea can consist of a variety of light snacks, such as those mentioned above. The food served can be sweet, savory, or a combination of both.

One of the most popular types of afternoon tea is the Devonshire Cream Tea. The Devonshire cream tea menu is simple but unforgettable: tea, scones, strawberry jam, and rich, luscious clotted cream.

Clotted cream is cream that has been thickened by simmering in a water bath and then refrigerated for several hours. It is almost as thick as butter and sinfully rich. The proper way to consume these delicacies is to spread the cream across the scone instead of butter, and then to spread the strawberry jam on top of the cream.

High or Meat Tea

While afternoon teas can be extremely high in calories, high teas are even more substantial and nourishing.

Working class people did not have time for a leisurely round of snacks and gossip between lunch and dinner. They were working. Tea time for them meant an early supper, served as soon as possible after work. Dainty snacks simply were not enough. So, the custom evolved of serving a substantial meal in the early evening. High teas can include cold cuts, shepherd’s pie, baked beans on toast, steak and kidney pie, cakes, custards, sweets and pickles.

description of our blog-对我们博客的描述

High and low is the common concept in our daily life which is as natural as air around us.
高和低是我们日常生活中一个普遍的概念，普遍到就像环绕在我们身边空气一般自然。

In fact, all the internal or external power, physically or chemically, tends to approach that kind of state though it is very hard to achieve.
事实上，所有内在和外在的力量无论从物理意义或者化学意义上来说都趋向平衡的状态却又难以达到。

Just as the exist of various highs and lows consist of  our normal world.
就像高高低低的各种存在组成了我们周遭的世界。

Everyday we experience different objects, things and people with a kind of standard to judge and compare them. We try to visualize the concept of volume, levels, ranks those related with high and low,and even judge the people from two sides.
每一天我们都在经历不同的人事物，并且用一种标准来衡量和比较它们。我们试图去将音量，层次，地位的这些与高和低的有关概念视觉化，甚至会从两个方面去衡量人。

Who is higher,or which one is lower? What is higher, or how it looks lower?
谁更高或者哪一个更低？什么是更高一些的或者怎么才能看上去低一些？

We are always finding the philosophical meaning and amazing point of this interesting couple of words.
我们始终都在寻找着这对反义词的哲学意义以及它们带给人的兴奋点和趣味性。
