Bosjes Guesthouse and Spa is a reconfiguration of an old Cape Dutch farmstead outside of Worcester in South Africa. It is situated in the wine growing Breede River Valley, an hour and a half's drive outside of Cape Town. The farm's attractions also include the Bosjes Chapel designed by Steyn Studio, a restaurant, a large visitors garden, and a garden caf and shop designed in collaboration with Steyn Studio. Lower down the farm is also the Botha's Halte Primary School designed by Meyer & Associates. Dating back to 1790, the Bosjes Farm Herehuis (manor house) sits at the foot of the Waaihoek mountains, with its characteristic Cape Dutch gable addressing the valley. Beside it, arranged along the contour are Schuur (historical barn) and Stalle (historical horse stables) buildings - a typical arrangement of Cape Dutch farms.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!To respect the historical Cape Dutch faade, the new additions were positioned behind the farmstead. Spatially, the linear configuration of the historical buildings was extended North and South, together with an arrangement of courtyards that shelter from the region's harsh winds and allow unobstructed views of the mountains. The historical Herehuis accommodates a new reception and front-of-house functions for the guesthouse, including a library and sun lounge. Several historical elements were protected, such as the old yellowwood Cape Dutch front door, which retains a domestic scale and welcoming aura.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!A wing of guest suites behind the historical Herehuis is clad in dark corrugated sheeting, that defers hierarchically to the white plastered architecture of the Herehuis, and references rural agricultural buildings across the region. The client's collection of work by South African artists is on display in the public, shared spaces, including specially commissioned works such as the wall-mounted concrete and brass installation, by architect artist Lorenzo Nassimbeni. The Breakfast Room, one of the most public spaces, is expressed as a steel frame glass box sunken under a large coral tree in one of the courtyards, and screened from the suites by planting.Save this picture!Save this picture!The old Stalle (stables), the end building of the historical complex, was reconfigured and significantly extended to serve as a spa. The extension's design reinterprets the quiet, low-slung architecture of the original building in a contemporary idiom. References to the building and its typology are made in the treatment rooms' barn doors, a reconstructed water trough and a klompie (traditional thin brick) clad entrance vault and floors. At the end of the spa's new wing is a lounge that transitions out into a sheltered courtyard, both of which open up on the Eastern edge to frame the mountains above. A pool runs inside out along the lounge and courtyard's Western edge, with a low opening that provides swimmers with a view of the mountains across the valley. The spatial progression of the spa terminates in a new indigenous experiential garden with water ponds, designed by celebrated landscape designer Franchesca Watson.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Worcester, South AfricaLocation to be used only as a reference.

As surprising as it was to see Nintendo drop an uncharacteristically creepy teaser earlier this year about a masked man known as "Emio," few could have expected it would be related to a brand-new entry in the company's long-dormant Famicom Detective Club series. What's less surprising is just how riveting the game turned out to be, an expertly paced thriller whose setting, music, and atmosphere masterfully crescendo into one of the most suspenseful denouements Nintendo has ever conjured.Spoilers for Emio - The Smiling Man follow.The lead-up to this climax, however, is anything but straightforward. Like the previous two games in the Famicom Detective Club series, Emio - The Smiling Man is a slow-burn detective story--a densely plotted mystery that unravels methodically over the course of roughly a dozen hours. Picking up a few years after the events of The Missing Heir, the Utsugi Detective Agency is enlisted to aid police detectives Junko Kuze and Daisuke Kamihara in investigating the death of a teenage boy, who was discovered wearing a paper bag unsettlingly scrawled with a smiley face.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The upcoming adaptation of Dune: Messiah might be the most anticipated sci-fi project in the near future. However, director Denis Villeneuve faces significant hurdles he must overcome to bring his grand vision to life perhaps more than any other Dune film or TV show.

Disney Dreamlight Valleys second expansion, Storybook Vale, has introduced fans to the massive world of Storybook Vale. This world has three magical biomes with individually unlocked areas and many new items and fish. But not everything you reel in is a fish. You can also fish up some items like Posidonia, which can be used for crafting, kind of like Plastic Scrap from A Rift in Time.

2024 has been a pretty solid year for Nintendo. Along with the Nintendo Switch finally outselling the PS2 in the US, Nintendo has earned a steady income this year by releasing a surprising number of first-party releases, including a long-awaited remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Princess Peach: Showtime, and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. But it's clear that the Nintendo Switch is nearing the end of its lifespan, and any day now, Nintendo could reveal its successor.

A set of new requirements proposed by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights could bring healthcare organizations up to par with modern cybersecurity practices. The proposal, posted to the Federal Register on Friday, includes requirements for multifactor authentication, data encryption and routine scans for vulnerabilities and breaches. It would also make the use of anti-malware protection mandatory for systems handling sensitive information, along with network segmentation, the implementation of separate controls for data backup and recovery, and yearly audits to check for compliance.HHS also shared a fact sheet outlining the proposal, which would update the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Security Rule. A 60-day public comment period is expected to open soon. In a press briefing, US deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology Anne Neuberger said the plan would cost $9 billion in the first year to execute, and $6 billion over the subsequent four years, Reuters reports. The proposal comes in light of a marked increase in large-scale breaches over the past few years. Just this year, the healthcare industry was hit by multiple major cyberattacks, including hacks into Ascension and UnitedHealth systems that caused disruptions at hospitals, doctors offices and pharmacies.From 2018-2023, reports of large breaches increased by 102 percent, and the number of individuals affected by such breaches increased by 1002 percent, primarily because of increases in hacking and ransomware attacks, according to the Office for Civil Rights. In 2023, over 167 million individuals were affected by large breaches a new record.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/healthcare-organizations-in-the-us-may-soon-get-a-cybersecurity-overhaul-220933165.html?src=rss
