A wythe is a continuous vertical section of masonry one unit in thickness. A wythe may be independent of, or interlocked with, the adjoining wythe(s). A single wythe of brick that is not structural in nature is referred to as a veneer.
A multiple-wythe masonry wall may be composed of a single type of masonry unit layered to increase its thickness and structural strength, or different masonry units chosen by function, such as an economical concrete block serving a structural purpose and a more expensive brick chosen for its appearance.

Martha Helen Stewart (née Kostyra; born August 3, 1941) is an American businesswoman, writer, and television personality. As founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, she has gained success through a variety of business ventures, encompassing publishing, broadcasting, merchandising, and electronic commerce. She has written numerous bestselling books, is the publisher of the Martha Stewart Living magazine, and hosted two long-running syndicated television shows, Martha, which ran from 2005 to 2012, and Martha Stewart Living, which ran from 1993 to 2005.
In 2004, Stewart was convicted of charges related to the ImClone insider trading affair and sentenced to prison. There was speculation that the incident would effectively end her media empire, although Stewart began a comeback campaign in 2005 and her company returned to profitability in 2006. Stewart rejoined the board of directors of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia in 2011 and became chairman of her namesake company again in 2012.
Like many good ideas, the concept for their new hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, started over a few beers between friends—in this case, hotelier Peter Lawrence and real estate developer Jed Walentas. The pair joined forces with restaurateur Andrew Tarlow (owner of such Brooklyn hot spots as Marlow & Sons and a pioneer in the food scene), and the trio set out to convert a 111-year-old textile factory into a 72-room hotel, which opened last May.

(Re)Considering Energy and Existing Multi-wythe Brick Julie Paul Brown, MDes '14 in Energy and Environments Multi-wythe (or “mass”) brick construction has been familiar to global cultures and climates for more than 10,000 years and survives in vast quantities. However, the predominant contemporary energy retrofit approaches for the reuse of existing mass brick buildings in the US fundamentally misunderstand its behavior. The result has led to premature deterioration of the building fabric as well as risk of health and safety issues, among others. Given these challenges, this thesis critically analyzes the conventional approaches to energy retrofit of these buildings and the assumptions upon which they are based. As the current approaches have been inadequate, this thesis proposes alt...

[Gypsy:]
If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid Queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen.
I'll tear your soul apart.
Give us a room and close the door
Leave us for a while.
Your boy won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy the acid queen.
I'll tear your soul apart.
Gather your wits and hold on fast,
Your mind must learn to roam.
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You're gonna hit the road.
My work is done now look at him
He's never been more alive.
His head it shakes his fingers clutch.
Watch his body writhe
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
To break your little heart.
