Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser, born Friedrich Stowasser, (December 15, 1928 – February 19, 2000) was an Austrian painter, architect and sculptor. Born in Vienna, he became one of the best-known contemporary Austrian artists, although controversial, by the end of the 20th century. nbsp; nbsp; Hundertwasser's original and unruly artistic vision expressed itself in pictorial art, environmentalism, philosophy, and design of facades, postage stamps, flags, and clothing (among other areas). The common themes in his work utilised bright colours, organic forms, a reconciliation of humans with nature, and a strong individualism, rejecting straight lines. He remains sui generis, although his architectural work is comparable to Antoni Gaudí in its biomorphic forms and use of tile. He was inspired by the works of Egon Schiele from an early date, and his style was often compared to that of Gustav Klimt. He was fascinated with spirals, and called straight lines the devil's tools. He called his theory of art transautomatism, based on Surrealist automatism, but focusing on the experience of the viewer, rather than the artist. nbsp; nbsp; His name Friedensreich Hundertwasser means, Peace-Kingdom Hundred-Water. Although Hundertwasser first achieved notoriety for his boldly-coloured paintings, he is more widely renowned today for his revolutionary architectural designs, which incorporate natural features of the landscape, and use of irregular forms in his building design. Hundertwasserhaus, a low-income apartment block in Vienna, features undulating floors (an uneven floor is a melody to the feet), a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows. He took no payment for the design of Hundertwasserhaus, declaring that it was worth it, to prevent something ugly from going up in its place.

The program, all but unheard of among Valley startups, was meant to appease employees who were agitating for some chance to make money from their shares. It was a revolutionary new way to reward employees, without having to go through an IPO or a sale./p p style="padding-left: 30px;"The revolution is over, Zuckerberg told his company today.

pAs expected, studios and producers aren't backing down in the face of strike threats from the actors' guild. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reiterated that their final offer of June 30 still stands and are urging the Screen Actors Guild to reverse course and throw its support behind the proposed contract. It's the latest development in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse that's placed yet another gray cloud over the entertainment industry. In a a href="http://www.amptp.org/" title="release this afternoon"release this afternoon/a, AMPTP wrote: "it offers more gains for SAG members than any other labor agreement in the guild's history. On the economic side alone, the offer is the richest ever by historical standards... These are clearly revolutionary times, and the final offer reflects that as well." /p p AMPTP also publicized the a href="http://www.amptp.org/files/AMPTP_SAG_final_offer_063008.pdf" title="final offer in its entirety"final offer in its entirety/a (PDF) and highlighted some a href="http://www.amptp.org/files/AMPTP_SAG_final_offer_summary.pdf" title="key points of its proposal"key points of its proposal/a (PDF). /p p bTop-line financial terms:/b The contract reflects an increase in minimums by 3.5 percent in the first and third years and 3 percent in the second year. Pension and health rates would increase from 14.5 percent to 15 percent. Guest star premiums would jump from 7.5 percent to 10 percent. The number of background actors covered would increase in TV from 19 to 20 and from 50 to 52 in film. /p p bNew media terms:/b Much to SAG's chagrin; the deal includes an exception to jurisdiction in most cases that involve original content made for online or mobile. Actors would not gain consent rights or compensation for clips used in new media. The proposal does include first-ever residuals for ad-supported streaming of films, TV and new media programs and increases the residual rate for permanent downloads. br / /p pstrongRelated/strong/p ul class="related" lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-actors-union-seeks-strike-vote-after-federal-mediation-fails" title="Actors Union Seeks Strike Vote After Federal Mediation Fails"Actors Union Seeks Strike Vote After Federal Mediation Fails/a/li lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-actors-union-board-holds-off-on-strike-authorization-requests-mediation" title="Actors Union Board Holds Off On Strike Authorization; Requests Mediation"Actors Union Board Holds Off On Strike Authorization; Requests Mediation/a/li /ul piCheck out the best business jobs in digital media. a href="http://jobs.paidcontent.org/"Go here/a for paidContent.org Job Board./i/p pa href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/pcorg?a=R3RCUL"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/pcorg?i=R3RCUL" border="0"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=WYH5O"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=WYH5O" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=GgR1O"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=GgR1O" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=B2edo"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=B2edo" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=oM8gO"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=oM8gO" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=XDk3O"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=XDk3O" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/pcorg/~4/475125218" height="1" width="1"/
