"Cosmos Gaudí, Architecture, Geometry and Design" is at Shanghai's Museum of Contemporary Art until October 15th. According to MOCA's website, this "is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Gaudi's work to come to China and the first to fully capture the artistic vitality of both his architecture and interior design."
Features include archititectural studies of Gaudí's sinuous Modernist designs, building models, and a Spanish-language documentary of his work.
China's fascination with contemporary art, design, and architecture is just beginning, and will only grow in the coming years. (Hint to universities: now's the time to step up your design programs!)

The Internet allows computer users to remotely access other computers and information domain registration stores easily, wherever they may be across the world. They may do this with or without the use of security, authentication and encryption technologies, depending on the requirements. This is encouraging new ways of working from home, collaboration and information sharing in many industries. An accountant sitting at home can audit the books of a company based in another country dedicated servers, on a server situated in a third country that is remotely maintained by IT specialists in a fourth. These accounts could have been created by home-working bookkeepers, in other remote locations, based on information e-mailed to them from offices all over the world. Some of these things were possible before the widespread use of the Internet, but the cost of private leased lines would have made many of them infeasible in practice. An office worker away from their desk, perhaps on the other side of the world wireless internet providers on a business trip or a holiday, can open a remote desktop session into his normal office PC using a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection via the Internet. This gives the worker complete access to all of his or her normal files and data, including e-mail and other applications, while away from the office. This concept is also referred to by some network security people as the Virtual Private Nightmare, because it extends the web designer secure perimeter of a corporate network into its employees' homes.
