The article discusses the debate between which NBA player is better - Lebron James or Kobe Bryant. It provides stats for each player and their accomplishments. Two writers then debate the merits of each player, discussing Lebron's talent and potential championships with the Heat versus Kobe's 5 NBA titles with the Lakers. They disagree on whether Lebron needed the help of Wade and Bosh, and whether Kobe is truly the better "clutch" player. The debate highlights the similarities between the two stars but ultimately comes to different conclusions on which player has the advantage.

Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.
TRENDS IN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Digital Technologies can play a crucial role in making Metro Rizal's waste management systems more circular and sustainable

Description:
Lindsey is a 50-year-old resident of Fort Greene who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year at
MSK. The cancer spread and for some time she was bed ridden. Recently, however, she has healed and
regained strength to do the things she loves, like walk her dog in the park. Lindsey’s doctor
recommended she continue her treatment at the new MSK Brooklyn center, which is a few blocks
from her apartment. Upon arrival for her first treatment at MSK Brooklyn, a man at the front desk,
Carlos, greets Lindsey. He hands her a welcome kit, one of the items being an invitation to join a
movement group at Mark Morris Dance Group. “Can you tell me more about this?” Lindsey inquires,
showing him the card. Carlos explains that there is a group of patients at MSK Brooklyn who attend a
free movement class at MMDG every Thursday. “You’re welcome to join them this week, if you’d like,”
He offers. Lindsey remembers the fun she had in ballet class as a small girl. “I think I’ll give it a try,” she
confirms. Lindsey begins attending the class and finds that the movement helps her feel better and
more connected to her body and healing process. She also feels a bond with the other patients in the
class that she never felt while she was at MSK at 53rd street. After a month of attending class, Lindsey
relates her experience: “I always saw the Mark Morris building around here but never thought to step
inside. It’s such a wonderful resource in this community and I’m glad I could become a part of it.”

Description:
Nicole is 30 years old. She lives with her husband in Manhattan. Nicole was diagnosed with cancer about a
year ago, and is going to be coming to MSK Brooklyn to receive treatment. Being so young, cancer was the
last thing on her mind before the diagnosis, this transition from her old life to her new life has been incredibly
difficult and scary. Nicole does not know Brooklyn especially well and has mixed feelings about coming to the
new center for treatment because she is used to going to the 53rd street building closer to her home.
On arrival to MSK Brooklyn, Nicole is immediately greeted by an especially kind woman at the front desk,
and is handed a special “Welcome Kit”. Nicole smiles and suddenly feels a little bit more at ease. Nicole
opens the gift and finds several items; inside is hand-written encouragement note written especially for her
by a MSK staff member/ volunteer, she also finds a gift certificate for the floral shop next door that allows
her to go pick out a “free gift of choice” after or before her treatment. Included in the kit is also a “My
Preferences” card, in which Nicole can fill out regarding her specific wants/needs when coming for chemo at
MSK Brooklyn. Next, she finds another card that enables her to take a free movement class at the Mark
Morris Center down the street. Inside is also a journal and camera, that will allow Nicole to document this
process in whatever way she likes. Finally, Nicole finds a small package with a variety of herbal teas for her to
enjoy.
After opening her gift, Nicole is still stressed and anxious about treatment, but feels less alone, and feels like
the people treating her truly care about her. The encouragement note gives Nicole that extra little bit of
strength she needs, and the gift certificate for the flowers makes her feel like she has a special treat to be
excited about.

being diagnosed with cancer he spent a lot of time outside as a park official. Being stuck inside all day
was tiresome. To his surprise, inside the MSK BK Welcome Kit there was instructions on how to sign
up for gardening sessions next door. He was very happy to have the ability to spend some time in a
garden and help plant this seasons flowers. John shared with other patients “It’s like I am at work, and
thats great because I love my job. I thought I would never work in a park again because I’ve been so
weak.”
