This book, intertwining the psychoanalytic approach with the historical, sociological and political analysis that confirms the complexity and many-sidedness of the subject, deals with the devastating phenomenon of suicide terrorism.
The behavior of suicide terrorists cannot be understood making use of psychopathological categories. Whereas a suicidal terrorist attack can be described as a crime against humanity, its protagonists cannot be classified only as criminal or insane. This book examines carefully the process of dehumanization that characterizes this collective behavior and provides some biographical accounts in order to understand how such horrendous crimes can be committed by a human being. This destructive cruelty is possible only with a leading role of a political or religious organization operating like a psychotic part, which is integrated in a traumatized community. The author draws a distinction between local terrorism with nationalistic traits stemming from the traumatic conditions of a community and another form of terrorism that is irreducible as it originates from a grandiose and totalitarian plan imbued with revengeful feelings that arise from an omnipotent narcissistic wound.

What Does Endoscopic Mean?
The term endoscopic refers to a procedure performed using a device known as an endoscope. An endoscope is a medical instrument used to look inside the body by inserting the device into a body cavity organ, such as the colon or throat, without an incision. Most endoscopes are comprised of a flexible metal tube that is inserted into a natural body opening. The tube includes a lens or camera system that permits the user to have a view of the inside of the the body. A light attached to the endoscope provides illumination for the exam.
WorkplaceTesting Explains Endoscopic
Endoscopic exams are commonly used to examine the gastrointestinal tract. These procedures include colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy. Specialized endoscopic devices called bronchoscopes are also used to examine the respiratory tract and lungs. While usually flexible, sometimes a rigid endoscope is used to enter the body and remove a foreign object trapped in a person's airway. An endoscopic device may also be used in combination with other devices and procedures to perform a detailed exam of a patient's internal organs. Examples of these types of procedures include endoscopy, enteroscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound.

Dying Room Only (1973/Warner Archive DVD)
C+ Sound: C+ Extras: D Telefilm: C+
Matheson is one of the masters of storytelling suspense, from his landmark
novel I Am Legend to his work on the
original Twilight Zone, to helping
put Spielberg on the map with Duel
and his scripts for the first two Night
Stalker TV movies with Darren McGavin among his many great works. One of the less seen is another TV movie of
note that Warner Bros. is finally releasing from its Lorimar holdings through
their on-line-only Warner Archive site (see note below) for the first time.
Leachman (at the peak of her commercial and critical success in a very long and
enduring career) and Dabney Coleman (just before his long character actor
career led to a star career) are a married couple driving around in the desert
when they decide to stop for a bite to eat at a dilapidated diner run by an
unfriendly bartender (the great Ross Martin) with only a suspicious customer
(Ned Beatty in one of his darkest roles) who seems to be a regular. The service is bad, but the husband
eventually snaps at the men and gets what they want. Then he leaves the room and disappears,
leaving his wife to wonder where he is.
Have they nabbed him? Killed
him? Is she imagining things or is she
correct in her suspicions?
to take advantage of commercial breaks to pump up suspense, this is not a bad
telefilm, but it has dated in odd ways (she does not have a cell phone, but
service could have been dead out there anyways) and Leachman has to carry the
film which lasts only 74 minutes (a typical length for TV movies at the time;
they rarely make them now or very well) leaving some details, developments and
other possibilities short. However, it
is worth a look, but I can see why only some of this stayed with me from the
original broadcasts and reruns.
journeyman Director Philip Leacock was well-known for begin able to deliver
fine, solid genre work and does a good job here, though with a cast and script
like this, it is hard to mess up. This
was the first Matheson-penned telefilm since Night Stalker and Night
Strangler set record ratings that held for over a decade, so this is why
all this top talent agreed to the project.
Those who like thrillers will want to catch it again, especially in such
a good copy. Dana Elcar, Louise Latham
and Ron Feinberg also star.
X 1 image was shot in 35mm film and is a brand-new transfer with fine color,
detail and even depth considering the age of the program. Warner and Lorimar stored the original
materials well and now you can see once again how good older telefilms can
look. Director of Photography John M.
Stephens (Billy Jack, Blacula, The Fantastic Plastic Machine) boldly shoots the night scenes like
night in a feature film and that is one of the reasons this holds up so well
and does not date as much as it might otherwise have, making this the first
time most will see just how good his cinematography is here. The Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono is also very clean
and clear for its age, even when it shows its sonic limits. Charles Fox (Bug, reviewed elsewhere on this site) is known for his comedy and
even musical work, plus hit records (Killing
Me Softly With His Song, I Got A Name)
and many classic TV theme songs, but this is one of his rare dark scores and he
was just as great at them as his usual work.
There are no extras.

HBO is taking a walk on "The Dark Side."
A rep for the company has confirmed to CNN that the company has given the green light to a miniseries about former Vice President Dick Cheney.
The project will be based on the "Frontline" documentary about Cheney, "The Dark Side," as well as the book "Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency" by Barton Gellman.
The miniseries will trace Cheney's career from being Donald Rumsfeld’s protégé in the Nixon administration to his time as Chief of Staff for President Gerald Ford, which led to posts serving as Secretary of Defense in George H.W. Bush's administration and later Vice President under President George W. Bush.
The look into the life and times of the former VP and his controversial two terms in the White House will be written by Rick Cleveland, who previously worked with Aaron Sorkin on another political project, the critically acclaimed TV drama "The West Wing."
CNN previously reported that HBO will also be the home for "Game Change," a movie about another polarizing politician, Sarah Palin.
HBO is owned by the parent company of CNN.

Hitoshi Akamatsu was the head director of the creation team behind the original Castlevania and it's also known that he and his team were in charge of the creation of Simon's Quest, Dracula's Curse, and Snake's Revenge (a non-canonical sequel to Metal Gear released for the Nintendo Entertainment System).
During the 8-bit era, all Japanese video game developers had to go by pseudonyms, probably in an attempt of game companies to diminish head-hunting by rival ones. One of the downsides of having those fake credits was that nobody actually knows for certain who created the Castlevania series. The best guess is a Mr. "Hitoshi Akamatsu", but unfortunately he seems to have disappeared from the gaming industry during the early '90s. There is, however, a small record of the games he collaborated in. Many attempts have been made to track down Mr. Akamatsu, but to date there has been no success.
In an interview with game creator and director, Masahiro Ueno (main director of Super Castlevania IV, and also known as "Jun Furano"), he confirmed that the same team was responsible for the development of the three Famicom Castlevania games: Castlevania, Simon's Quest and Dracula's Curse. In an unpublished interview with the creator of Haunted Castle, he said that the head of the original Castlevania was Hitoshi Akamatsu, the same as the sequels.

Modern floor scrubbers have a pre-sweep option that removes the need to sweep the floor before scrubbing. The pre-sweep brush head is placed in front of the vacuum system to collect dust and debris before it can block the vacuum system. In the past it was important to sweep the floor before scrubbing to remove any debris and dust that could clog the vacuum hose or build up in the vacuum motor, which can decrease performance. If this happens, the vac hose may need to be removed to clear the obstruction and/or the vac motor may need to be blown out with compressed air. Stripping Solution should never be used as it can cause damage to the solution dispensing system, but can still be vacuumed up by the machine without harm.

A Harvard biology professor’s fascination with seafloor microbes has led to the development of a revolutionary, low-cost power system consuming garbage, compost, and other waste that could provide light for the developing world.
Assistant Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Peter Girguis has developed a fuel cell run by the natural activity of anaerobic microbes. The cells can be manufactured for just a few U.S. dollars, putting them within reach of many of the world’s poor who today do not have access to electricity.
Though the power output is relatively low, Girguis said it should be sufficient to run low-energy lighting or to recharge batteries for a host of devices such as cell phones, an increasingly important communications method in the developing world.
“There are 2.8 billion people on Earth without electricity who are clamoring for [power],” Girguis said. “Most people want electricity for lighting and telecommunication.”
Girguis’ work was recently awarded a $10,580 Lindbergh Grant by the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation. The grant — the amount Lindbergh used to build his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis — was one of 14 awarded this year out of 150 applicants. Girguis said the money is welcome because the project falls between areas that traditionally attract research funding.
Scientists have been studying microbial fuel cells in the lab for decades, Girguis said. His aim has been to take existing knowledge and apply it in a workable, inexpensive device that can be distributed to places lacking electricity.
The crucial point in the development process came when Girguis realized that the fuel cells didn’t require research-grade materials to operate properly and that they’d work adequately with less expensive materials that would significantly lower the cost.
The fuel cells operate because of a particular trait of anaerobic bacteria. As these bacteria live and metabolize food in their oxygen-free environments, they produce extra electrons, which are normally released into the material around them. By introducing an electrode, those electrons can be harvested to create a small electrical current.
Girguis’ fuel cell uses an electrode, wires, and a small circuit board about the size of a pack of cards. The electricity flows from the electrode into the circuit board and out of one of two outlets on the other side. One provides juice for electrical devices such as LED lightbulbs while the other has a cell phone recharger.
Iqbal Quadir, executive director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, is intrigued by Girguis’ fuel cells. Quadir, who started a company that has brought cell phone service to millions of people in Bangladesh, has offered to let Girguis distribute the microbial fuel cells as part of a new power-generation venture Quadir is heading. The venture, Emergence Bioenergy, uses microbe-filled biodigesters to generate methane from cow manure. The methane is then burned to generate electricity.
“I like his technology, it’s a paradigm shift,” Quadir said. “He could put his technology inside our biodigesters and produce extra watts.”
A number of steps remain before that can happen, however. Though Girguis has developed several different fuel cells, he has not yet begun producing them. The Lindbergh grant will finance continued research on the cells, to see the difference in output from different soils and sediments, and on what happens when the soil is enriched with organic matter.
Girguis is considering a public demonstration of the technology, perhaps by putting a fuel cell into a trash can with a public cell phone and charger attached. People could make calls from the phone, and, each time someone threw garbage into the receptacle, they’d be feeding the microbes that were powering the charger.
An additional benefit to the fuel cell technology is that, since it doesn’t burn fossil fuels, it generates power without having an impact on the climate. Despite that feature, Girguis said the fuel cells are not a replacement for fossil fuels. The cells can be enlarged — with larger electrodes — to generate more power and supply power through wires that run into a house, but the cells are most appropriate to bring power to remote areas, not as a substitute for existing municipal power grids. A plant to power a town the size of Cambridge would cover several blocks, Girguis said.

Lismore, Co. Waterford
In the 7th century, Lismore was home to a well-known abbey. This is also home to Lismore Castle, the birth place to the "Father of Chemistry" Sir Robert Boyle (Boyle's Law) It was also home to a medieval manuscript, the Book of Lismore (now in England – the owner of the castle is an Englishman), and the Lismore Crozier (now in the National Museum of Ireland) were discovered in the 19th Century.
There is a Heritage Centre which has an award winning audio visual display of Lismore history in which your host Brother Declan (alias Niall Toibin) takes you on an enthralling journey through time, starting with the arrival of St. Carthage in 636 and bringing you right up to the present. The centre also contains many local facts while a walk around the town will take you to ten places of interest.
There are craft shops and art galleries in the town and a tourist information point in the Heritage Centre.
Lismore Castle is one of the most dramatically sited castles in Ireland. Situated in the beautiful Blackwater Valley and commanding a superb position overlooking the river Blackwater this is one of the most delightful parts of Ireland. Lismore Castle was originally built by King John who later handed it over to the church. It remained a Bishop's Palace until 1589 when it was acquired by Sir Walter Raleigh and then sold on to Richard Boyle, first Earl of Cork, in 1602. Much of the Castle dates back to the early seventeenth century but there are parts that are as early as 1127. The most recent rehabilitation of the Castle was undertaken by the sixth Duke of Devonshire in 1840.
The Blackwater river which flows through the town is visited by anglers from throughout the world. Trout and Salmon are the main species of fish to be caught. Day licences are available. A fine nine hole golf course provides golfers with an outlet and there are many other fine courses nearby.

This open challenge was a joint effort of NIST, the National Football League, Under Armour, and GE to advance the state-of-the-art in advanced materials for impact mitigation in athletic protective equipment, particularly when used in protective helmets.
There were 125 advanced material systems submitted for consideration. Based on a technical review of these submissions, 21 were selected for testing. A team of independent judges used the results from testing at NIST, and other factors, to select five finalists. Each of these finalists received funding for one year of research and development to further advance their material system. NIST tested each of these systems four times during the year to assist the finalists with their development efforts.
NIST testing focused on characterizing and documenting the response of these materials to...
• . . . compressive loads.
• . . . a range of loading rates.
• . . . a range of temperatures.
• . . . repeated loading.
• . . . shearing loads while compressed.
At the end of the year of the finalist's research and development work, a team of independent judges reviewed the materials and judged them on their performance, their performance improvement during the course of the competition, the material innovation, and commercialization potential.
The winning material, a system developed by the team of Dynamic Research, of Torrance, California, and 6D Helmets, of Brea, California, was announced in September 2017.

Tony Mastroianni Review Collection
"Harry" Isn't So Dirty, But It Sure Is Gory
Cleveland Press December 28, 1971
Clint Eastwood plays the title role in "Dirty Harry," a part not too different from that of the laconic cowboy killer in the "Dollar" western. In those he was grimy, and in "Dirty Harry" he is impeccably dressed in his role of big-city detective -- but otherwise he is the same guy -- indestructible, cool and deadly.
He also is just as much a cardboard figure.
Harry is called dirty because he hates everyone, one person explains. Another says he got the name because he always gets the dirty end of the stick, only dirty isn't the word he uses.
Whatever, Harry pursues criminals with a demonic passion. He kills with contempt and regardless of how pure his motivation, he can finish off his opponent with cold blooded viciousness. It is only the side he is on, represented by his badge, that distinguishes him from the criminal when he gets down to the bloody finish.
Inevitably there will be a comparison between this role and the policeman played by Gene Hackman in "French Connection." While Hackman's character is also all consuming and pathological in pursuit of an end, the character was more credible, probably because Hackman is a better actor and also because the role and the entire script are better.
The setting is San Francisco and the main problem is tracking down a mysterious sniper who is blackmailing the city with threats of continuing the killings if he isn't paid off. He signs his letters Scorpio (the movie obviously draws on the Zodiac killings for its inspiration).
Harry draws the job, although his superiors are reluctant because Harry is kind of headstrong. While working on that assignment good old Harry cleans up a few other things in his spare time.
While munching on a hot dog he saunters out into the street to outshoot three bank robbers. It's right out of a western. Later he pauses long enough to talk down a would-be suicide from a tall building.
Meanwhile the killings go on with Harry finally cornering the killer and beating a confession out of him. It doesn't end there because, as the district attorney explains, thanks to Supreme Court decisions you don't do things that way and the killer goes free. Ex-Play House actor William Paterson, as a learned judge, confirms the ruling.
Like most of the messages in the movie it's pretty heavy-handed. Like everything else in the plot it has holes in it big enough to drive a fleet of police cars through.
For gratuitous gore there are few movies to equal "Dirty Harry." It hits a new low. There are shootings, beatings and at one point a 14-year-old girl is hauled out of a grave where she had been buried alive after being raped.
Director Don Siegal of such films as "Madigan" and "Coogan's Bluff" has a feel for action and the ability to portray it in the environment of a big, grubby city.
But "Dirty Harry" isn't worth his efforts. It's a stupid movie and Eastwood is a one-dimensional actor capable of little more than imitating his previous roles.


'Grey's Anatomy' Doctor Leaving After This Season
Dr. Stephanie Edwards won't be scrubbing in on "Grey's Anatomy" after this season.
TV Line reports that cast member Jerrika Hinton will not return as a series regular next fall for season 14. Hinton has played the bright, talented intern since 2012.
Hinton's exit is not much of a surprise since she was cast in a major role in Alan Ball's upcoming untitled HBO drama. There is a possibility the actress can still make some guest starring appearances on "Grey's Anatomy."
Hinton nearly left last year, too, when she cast as the lead in the Shondaland pilot "Toast," though there was talk that she could participate in both shows with a reduction in time on the hospital drama.
Ball's new drama is described as "a tragicomic meditation on the complicated forces at work on us all in America today. The show focuses on a contemporary multi-racial family." Hinton is set to play the adopted child of socially conscious idealists.

text: THE first identifiable member of the B-cell line, termed the pre-B-cell, has been shown by immunofluorescent techniques to contain small amounts of intracellular IgM, but to lack detectable surface immunoglobulin1. These cells have been found in several species at sites of B-cell generation, most notably fetal liver and adult bone marrow1,2 and considerable evidence now exists which supports this precursor-progeny relationship of pre-B cells and B lymphocytes1-5. However, conflicting data exist with regard to pre-B cell expression of μ and light chains. Although these cells were originally described in mice as containing both intracellular heavy (μ) and light chains1, using the same immunofluorescence techniques we have subsequently been unable to demonstrate either κ or λ light chains within these cells (P.B. and J.K., unpublished). Moreover, the presence of light chains in murine pre-B cells cannot be confirmed with the original anti-κ antibodies used in ref. 1 (M. Cooper, personal communication). These findings are also contrary to immuno-chemical data which suggest the presence of complete IgM molecules both intracellularly and on the surface of early fetal liver cells6. We have used somatic cell hybridisation to approach this controversial issue. We have now obtained, after fusion with fetal liver, hybridomas which synthesise large amounts of intracellular μ chain in the absence of any light chain (LC) synthesis detectable by immunofluorescent or immunochemical techniques. The immunoglobulin phenotype of these hybridomas is identical to that observed in immunofluorescence studies of pre-B cells from fetal liver or adult bone marrow, and suggests that synthesis of μ chain before light chain expression is a normal event in the early differentiation of the B-cell line. © 1979 Nature Publishing Group.

The nation’s top cyberwarrior bluntly told a House panel Tuesday that it would take a 16 percent increase in U.S. Cyber Command’s budget to separate it from the NSA and become a full-fledged combatant command, as lawmakers want.
“To execute our mission I have asked for a budget of $647 million, which is a nearly 16 percent increase from 2017,” Adm. Michael Rogers told a hearing of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities convened by Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to examine the fiscal 2018 request for Cyber Command.
Rogers, who leads Cyber Command and is also NSA director, said the money would be spent “building out” the command’s cyber fighting units, called Cyber Mission Forces, and other cyber-specific capabilities. The 6,200-strong CMF is on track to be fully operational by Oct. 1 next year, he said.
The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2017 mandated the elevation of Cyber Command — which is currently subordinate to U.S. Strategic Command — to a fully fledged combatant command.
Although the NSA has accepted the idea of splitting off Cyber Command and quantified the cost of that process, Rogers said his “dual hatted” nature as leader of both does offer “a significant benefit right now for these two organizations.” Supporters of the dual-hat structure say Cyber Command gains from its proximity to NSA’s elite hacking teams.
Rogers demurred when asked about a timeline for a breakup, saying that was the president’s decision, although he added he had laid down some conditions that needed to be met before the transition went ahead.
“We spent much of the past year working our way through the specifics of how we would do that, and if a decision is ultimately approved we’re prepared to apply that … in a timely manner,” he said.
He added that the command was already conducting what he called without elaboration “full-spectrum” cyber-operations. He noted that “conflict in the cyber domain … unfolds according to its own logic, which we continue to better understand.”
As the command develops its offensive capabilities, Stefanik said she and ranking member Rep. James lagevin, D-R.I., were drafting legislation to increase congressional oversight of sensitive military cyber-operations — including a requirement that the Defense Department notify Congress when information is disclosed without proper authorization, she said.

Congressional Clash On Guns
Montana’s congressional candidates are divided on gun control. Republican congressman Ryan Zinke said the House postponed its response to the Orlando massacre– the worst mass shooting in modern history– because there isn’t enough agreement to pass a bill. There isn’t even agreement on what to call the problem, with Democrats proposing gun control, while Zinke joins Republicans in proposing “anti-terrorism” legislation that happens to contain gun language.
Zinke and Democratic challenger Denise Juneau frame the issue differently. House Democrats want to deny guns to people who appear on terrorism watch lists like the one that prevents suspects from flying on commercial airlines. The watch list solution has been boiled down to four words: “no fly, no buy." They also want more thorough background checks. Juneau said what’s important is that a compromise solution gets crafted that doesn’t trample individual’s Second Amendment rights important to Montana’s gun heritage.

Ajoy Varma is going to direct this family drama and it revolves around a married couple who are on the verge of a divorce and how they fall in love again. The film is likely to go on floors in September this year. Of late, Kajal has become quite selective about her work in South.
Currently, she’s acting in Ram Charan’s Govindudu Andhari Vaadele and in Tamil, she has signed a film with Dhanush. The new schedule of Govindudu Andhari Vaadele is going to be shot in Hyderabad and a huge set has been erected for the film in Nanakramguda. Krishna Vamsi is directing the film.

Safety experience of influenza vaccination in pregnant women in the US over a 20-year period

Safety experience of influenza vaccination in pregnant women in the US over a 20-year period Adverse events in pregnant women following administration of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine and live attenuated influenza vaccine in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, 1990-2009Moro PL .Broder K, Zheteyeva Y, Walton K, Rohan P, Sutherland A, Guh A et al. (2010)American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 2010. 203
Since the experience of the 2009 pandemic and observed higher rates of severe disease due to A(H1N1) in pregnant vs. non-pregnant women in some series in the pandemic  a number of European countries (though not all) have started to recommend seasonal influenza immunisation for their pregnant women. The United States authorities have recommended such routine immunisation of pregnant women in their second and third trimester since 1997 and throughout pregnancy since 2004. Though only a minority of American pregnant women follow this advice (12-24% in the 2005-8 period)  it still represents a major collective experience that European countries can draw upon.
This report is of 20 years experience in the United States (US) using the routine passive Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) jointly owned by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its regulatory Food and Drug Administration. The period of study for seasonal trivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (TIV) was over the period 1990 to 2009 while the period for Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) (not yet licensed for use across Europe) during the period July 2003 through to mid-2009. LAIV vaccine is not recommended for use in pregnant women in the US but was used accidentally in women before it was appreciated they were pregnant. The authors analysed information concerning : state of residence, maternal date of birth, maternal age, gestational age, time between vaccination and onset of adverse event, major symptoms, seriousness, laboratory data, concomitant vaccinations, illness at the time of vaccination, and pre-existing medical conditions.(3) The authors calculated rates of reported Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFIs) using denominators from the estimated number of pregnant women immunized with seasonal influenza vaccine.[2,3] They found a total of 148 reports after TIV vaccination and 27 reports after LAIV vaccination were identified. Twenty TIV (13.5%) and 1 LAIV (4%) reports were classified as serious. No specific AEFI’s were reported in 30 TIV (20.3%) and 16 LAIV (59%) reports and there were no specific congenital malformations. The most common pregnancy-specific AEFI was spontaneous abortion in the following proportion: 17 after TIV (11.5%) and 3 after LAIV (11%). The estimated reporting rate of spontaneous abortion was 1.9 per million pregnant women vaccinated with a maximum of 5.5 per million in any one season (2008-9). This compared with considerably higher rates of spontaneous miscarriage of 10.4% in women under 25 years in the USA rising to 22.4% of all pregnancies in those aged 35 years and above. There no consistent reports of any specific abnormality associated with immunisation. The authors conclude that no unusual patterns of pregnancy complications or foetal outcomes were observed in the VAERS reports of pregnant women after the administration of either TIV or LAIV vaccines.
ECDC Comment (29 October 2010):
This study is reassuring but has to be considered critically, as the authors do themselves drawing on a number of useful references. While this study found no evidence of an excess of adverse events following immunisation of pregnant women against influenza, it would be premature to conclude as yet that there is no additional risk at all from such vaccination. As a passive reporting system it is vulnerable to under-reporting of AEFIs and that is suggested by the implausibly low incidence of spontaneous abortion and congenital malformations reported. However there is strong evidence of advantages to the mother and child from maternal immunisation. What is needed is further study with linked databases or comprehensive follow-up of cohorts of women. Some such studies are underway for study of the 2009 pandemic infection and vaccine in Europe.

Debate rages as legal case points to evidence that Taj Mahal was once a Hindu temple
The origins of the famous ancient landmark in India, the Taj Mahal, are under some dispute, casting controversy over the long-held history, and pitting religions against each other. A lawsuit claims the white marble tomb, a pinnacle of Muslim art in India, was originally a sacred Hindu temple.
As reported by The Telegraph , a controversial legal case brought early this year makes the claim that the Taj Mahal is actually part of an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva, known as the Tejo Mahalaya, which was usurped and converted into a mausoleum for Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, a Muslim.
This is contrary to the widely-held belief that the architectural masterpiece was completed by Shah Jahan in 1653 as a gift and resting place for his most favorite of three wives, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth in 1631.

The Case for a Hindu Heritage
The lawsuit, submitted to the court in Agra, a city in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state where the monument is located, calls for the ownership of the Taj Mahal to be transferred to Hindus for worship. More controversially, it also seeks to block Muslim religious activity at the monument (Friday prayers are offered at a mosque attached to the Taj Mahal), and the seventeenth-century graves removed, notes The Telegraph.
- Controversy in India as Minister says Taj Mahal is part of Ancient Hindu Temple
- Researchers Claim Glastonbury Ancient Legends Made Up By Cash-Strapped Monks
- Garden and pavilions of the Taj Mahal found to align with rays of the sun
The Indian culture minister, Dr. Mahesh Sharma was questioned about the case in parliament this week, and said that “the government has not found any evidence which can suggest that Taj Mahal was a Hindu temple of Shiva.”
The mausoleum is currently managed by the Archaeological Survey of India . Dr. Bhuvan Vikrama of the Archaeological Survey says, “What the culture minister has said will be the government’s official stand on it, but the court has yet to decide.”
The Stunning and Unique Taj Mahal
The beautiful and unique architecture of the Taj Mahal in India has traditionally been enhanced by the endearing love story of its construction— Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, was heartbroken following the death of his wife, so he called for the most skilled craftsmen from across Asia and Europe to build the white mausoleum.

The BBC describes the “supernatural” quality of the architecture, writing:
“Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond description, particularly at dawn and at sunset when it seems to glow in the light. On a foggy morning, it looks as though the Taj is suspended in mid-air when viewed from across the Jamuna river.
This is, of course, an illusion. The Taj stands on a raised square platform with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and a symmetry of architectural elements.
The colors and atmosphere of the gardens and the Taj itself constantly change throughout the day. Under moonlight the marble glows.”

While the monument is beautiful, the tomb construction is said to have eventually bankrupted the Mughal state.
Evidence for an Ancient Hindu Temple
The legends of the mausoleum origins, that it was built over two decades (1632 to 1653 AD) by 20,000 artisans, are taught to schoolchildren and presented to visitors.
However, Indian writer and historian P.N. Oak (1917 - 2007) provided evidence that suggests the Taj Mahal was built as a Hindu temple, predating the Mughal emperor.
Oak indicated in his book “ Taj Mahal: The True Story ” that the name of Shah Jahan’s wife who died in childbirth was never ‘Mumtaz Mahal’ but ‘Mumtaz-ul-Zamani’ and Oak claimed the name ‘Mahal’ has never been used for a building in any Muslim country. The name Taj Mahal, he claims, is a corrupt version of Tejo Mahalaya (Shiva’s Palace).
He also referred to the fact that there is not a single royal chronicle from Shah Jahan’s era that corroborates the so-called love story. In addition, European visitors to the area who left writings on the events of the time make no mention of such a major construction.
Rooms within the monument have been sealed since its construction that, if opened, may reveal more confirming evidence.

Following its debut at the Auto Shanghai early this year, the 2018 CR-V’s next stop will be next week’s Internationale Automobil-Austellung (IAA) in Germany. Honda’s first electric SUV will soon be posing as a near-production prototype which is to be sold exclusively in Europe. The 2018 Honda CR-V Hybrid will appear together with Honda Jazz’s new Sport trim and Urban EV concept during the two-week event.
The Euro-spec hybrid will be replacing the 160hp i-DTEC diesel as an answer to the current regulations affecting the market of diesel engines. For its design, the Hybrid SUV in prototype form will be very similar to the US-spec CR-V as well as the model previewed earlier in China. The lower LED light bar, in place of the round shaped fog lights, is just among the subtle variations on the exterior to draw the line between the 1.5-liter conventional engine and the hybrid set-up.
Honda is very tight-lipped about the technical details and only revealed that the electrified powertrain will consist of an electric motor and a 2.0-liter i-Vtec gasoline engine with four cylinder that runs on the Atkinson cycle. All the same, the complete specs will surely come out before or after Honda launches the CR-V hybrid in Europe sometime in 2018. Early speculations suggest that Honda’s next SUV will borrow Honda Accord’s hybrid set-up but it is better to trust the company’s official announcement. Currently, the Accord hybrid boasts a total of 212hp output with two-motor hybrid technology that no longer sees the need for conventional transmission. Rather, it only makes use of a single fixed gear ratio to push power down the wheels.Read the entire article Euro-spec 2018 Honda CR-V Hybrid Prototype is en route to Frankfurt
It is already September and we are all excited about the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, more so because automakers have been revealing previews and teasers (online) of models and concepts that will make their debut at the auto show. Today, it is Toyota that teases us with two new crossovers: the Hybrid C-HR Concept and the new Land Cruiser.
The C-HR Hy-Power Concept is a representation of possible additions for its compact crossover’s engine range. Toyota is being a tease, only providing few details about the vehicle, and that is the crossover’s license plate and lower fascia. Having said that, it makes us think that the model has been given a change in terms of design. And during a press release, the company’s spokesperson did say that the people behind Toyota’s European Design Center will give the C-HR a little bit of facelift to emphasize its emotional and powerful look, while hinting that they will be expanding the company’s hybrid powertrain line. That is all we got from the Hybrid C-HR Concept, and that’s sad because there’s still so much we want to know.
As mentioned earlier, the Japanese automaker also gave us a preview of the new Land Cruiser before it makes its debut in Frankfurt. Though they still kept their mouths sealed, they couldn’t help but share some details regarding the range-topping SUV.

Most automakers are looking into electrifying their current models; that is, if they have not done so yet. But some manufacturers like Ford have offerings that are being overlooked, until recently. This is because the company finally announced that they will come out with at least four new hybrid vehicles by 2019, Ford reveled when asked by Automotive News. For the first time, they will be electrifying future crossovers and SUVs, unlike before where they just focused on hybrid sedans.
To be more specific, the company said that they will be developing a plug-in hybrid version of the Escape, and a hybrid version of the Expedition. Their upscale line Lincoln will also be following the eco-friendly trend with hybrid versions of the MKC and the Navigator - where the Expedition and Lincoln are scheduled for a 2019 release.
But that’s not all they have in mind as these hybrid SUVs will then be followed by a hybrid Mustang as well as the new F-150. We do not know which models will be released first, but we do know that all six models should be launched in the market by 2020. According to Automotive News, Ford invested around $4.5 billion to bring in 13 EVs and hybrids to the market.Read the entire article Ford will release Expedition and Lincoln Navigator hybrid SUVs in 2019
Hyundai Motor Group – including both Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors – has disclosed a wide-ranging plan to introduce 31 environment-friendly models in a new development roadmap that aims to ultimately create a cleaner environment through these eco-friendly vehicles.
While previewing its next generation fuel cell vehicle, Hyundai announced its eco-vehicle development roadmap that entails a multi-pronged approach. This means that Hyundai won't focus its efforts on just one type of eco-friendly vehicle, but will create a lineup that offers various powertrain options like fuel cell, hybrid drive and electric.
Hyundai is pursuing this 2020 plan in response to the growing demand for fuel-efficient, eco-friendly vehicles around the world. As part of this road map, Hyundai will continue pursuing hydrogen fuel cell technology and will exert more efforts to strengthen its leadership in this area. The South Korean carmaker plans to achieve this by putting more focus on improving r&d works to further boost the performance and durability of FCEVs. Likewise, r&d will focus on making the fuel cell technology smaller and cheaper to allow it to be installed in smaller sedans.Read the entire article Hyundai will introduce the Genesis luxury EV in 2021
The persistent trend in the automotive industry remains to be the shift to electric-powered models. While most brands are developing new products to achieving that end, customers and enthusiasts have been accustomed to hearing the word “delay” associated with Maserati.
All that is about to change with the recent announcement of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), Maserati’s parent company, outlining its green program. None other than CEO Sergio Marchionne revealed during a conference call with investors that at least 50% of the corporation’s range will be electrified, in one way or another, by the year 2022.
CEO Marchionne, who intends to retire by 2019, declared that given the fate of diesel in the Europe market, the issue has become mandatory. He said further that there will be no choice but to implement some degree of electrification when it comes to gas engines.Read the entire article Maserati aims to build only EVs and hybrids starting 2019
Buick's heavily altered 2017 Buick LaCrosse was a likeable vehicle when it was rolled out last year, however the declining passenger car market affected the overall appeal of the vehicle especially the full-sizer's standard feature and efficiency. Sales went downhill due to this reason. Now the American automaker is rebounding by revealing that the 2018 LaCrosse will have a tempting upgrade to offer in the form of eAssist mild hybrid system and new transmission in V6 powered models in hopes of attracting more customers into the showroom.
The newest 2018 Buick LaCrosse is geared with a 2.5 L 4-cylinder with an eAssist mild hybrid as the vehicle's standard powertrain. In an economical move, the price will be slashed from $32,990 to $30,490 for the existing sedan that is equipped with the 3.6 L V6 engine. The hybrid model will be available at showrooms this coming fall. The American car maker is still mum on the specific details regarding the hybrid LaCrosse's output.
But Buick commented that the powertrain is expected to upgrade the sedan's fuel economy in the city by about 19 percent which will allow it an estimated 25 miles per gallon in the city and 35 miles per gallon in the highway. The hybrid sedan's 2.5 L 4-cylinder utilizes a motor generator unit that takes the place of a conventional alternator, and a 0.45 kW-hour lithium-ion battery stocks energy for the system.Read the entire article 2018 Buick LaCrosse is available with mild hybrid powertrain as standard
In today’s world, hybrid, plug-ins and EVs are not only trendy as they’re also highly vital. Due to the demand of the market, automakers are forced to adapt to the new norm, turning their cars into electric vehicles. In fact, even hypercars nowadays are becoming a hybrid, just like the Porsche Panamera in Turbo S E-Hybrid. However, some automakers such as Fiat Chrysler are a little behind in this department, which means that they have got to step up their game.
Having said that, there have been a lot of firsts for Maserati lately, from their very first SUV that is the Levante, and now they are going to make use of hybrid technology for that same model, featuring a charging port. Since this is going to be the company’s very first hybrid car, you might be wondering where they got the technology from. To answer your question, it’s Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, another member of the FCA Group, that will lend its PHEV technology to the Italian SUV.
Maserati’s estimate indicates that less than 10 percent of their SUV market will probably choose the eco-friendly version. Therefore, it is impractical for them to develop and build the technology from scratch, which is why they decided to just work with Chrysler Pacifica’s technology, to save them time and money. Instead of going through all the work, Maserati just needs to adapt Pacifica’s hardware to the new application.Read the entire article Maserati Levante SUV will get a hybrid version with Chrysler Pacifica tech
Volkswagen intends to leave the crowd in awe at the Worthersee Meeting (Wortherseetreffen) – the largest VW and Audi car show in Europe – with its new GTI Worthersee concept.
It has been 10 years since VW started its famed show car projects at Worthersee. To celebrate those 10 years, the 10th and latest GTI Worthersee concept was promptly named VW Golf GTI First Decade. This is the first GTI to feature a hybrid drive system – a combination of a conventional engine and an electric motor.
A petrol mill delivers 410 PS (300 kW) of power output to the front wheels while a 48-volt electric motor provides 12 kW of propulsive power to the rear wheels. Interestingly, these two drive systems could operate separately, which means the new VW Golf GTI First Decade could be driven conventionally, or in pure electric mode. Of course, the engine and electric could operate together for an all-wheel drive experience.Read the entire article VW Golf GTI First Decade with hybrid system revealed at the 2017 Worthersee Meeting
Well, this could be what the super-rich would love to do to pass the time. Monaco-based superyacht builder, Dynamiq takes on another voyage by launching the new GTT 115 online configurator. Interested buyers of the 3,000-mile range supercar-inspired vessel can customize their yachts using the wide range of options available online.
Equipped with the latest hybrid propulsion system, the $13.2 million GTT 115 is actually built in collaboration with Studio F. A. Porsche. This however, is not Porsche’s first voyage in designing a yacht. The supercar maker has worked with Fearless 28 luxury speedboat and Royal Falcon Fleet’s RFF135 before venturing into this new project.
The GTT or the Gran Turismo Transatlantic is a 35-meter superyacht decked with Porsche’s most iconic design cues. It features the Mission E concept’s transom, the iconic supercar’s Targa-style mullions as well as the Porsche 911 R’s Pepita hounds tooth pattern for the deck’s furniture fabric.Read the entire article This is your $13 million hybrid Dynamiq Gran Turismo Transatlantic yacht built by Porsche
BMW just announced that the 2018 530e iPerformance will be getting another option - that is a wireless charging station instead of the standard plug-in.
The iPerformance originally comes with a plug in that is rated at 3.7 kilowatts. With this rate, the 9.2 kWh battery can be replenished in less than three hours with a wall box.
But to ensure safety, charging power through the electric socket is limited, so it will take about five hours to fully charge the battery.Read the entire article BMW makes a prototype of wireless charger for the 2018 530e iPerformance
Is there anything more exciting than a spoiler? Well, for those who didn't know, there are those who have already seen the Mercedes-AMG Project One (in the flesh) way before 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show formally opens its gates this September. This allegedly happened behind closed doors at the recently concluded 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
In keeping up with the excitement, Automobile Magazine earlier spilled the beans concerning the Project One’s powertrain. Rumor also has it that the hybrid hypercar is hiding a 1,020 hp monster underneath its engine. Without further ado, let’s hear out the juicy details on what’s inside Mercedes-AMG’s latest gem.
As reported, Mercedes-AMG is said to be adapting the same engine from its W07 Formula One Car into the new 2-seater hybrid. This type of powertrain with 4 electric motors can produce a menacing 748hp (558kW) at the very least. The first two motors will be sending power to the front wheels while the two other motors will be connected to the crankshaft and turbocharger. Altogether, the four motors can deliver up to 408hp (304 kW), resulting to a combined output of 1,020 hp (761kW). That is to say other hypercars from Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren may have to give way to Mercedes’ wildest supercar to date.Read the entire article Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar delivers a staggering 1,020 hp
Honda will be displaying the electrically assisted CUV in their showrooms later this year. This has been confirmed in China at least. Fresh from its debut at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, the latest hybrid CR-V will soon go on sale in Asia’s fastest growing market for hybrid vehicles.
While the engineering for the China-bound CR-V Hybrid has already been finalized, it only makes sense that Honda would be considering the US as its next important step. In the US, the Honda Accord is in fact using the same powertrain found on the newly electrified crossover.
Honda however hasn't disclosed the exact details for the CR-V hybrid’s powertrain while on its premiere. If the CRV’s hybrid specs are indeed the same as those on the Accord, we can therefore expect the electrified crossover to be running on a 143hp (107kW), 129 lb-ft (175Nm) of torque, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This will come equipped with a 1.3kWh lithium ion battery pack with a total power of 212hp (158kW) to match.Read the entire article Honda unveils the CR-V Hybrid in China, may also come to the United States
Mercedes-AMG is scheduled to introduce their newest hypercar to the public, this September at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, known as Project One. This model is set to compete with Aston Martin’s Valkyrie. Sources say that Mercedes’ new project will be the fastest ever car that the company has ever produced, and is set to bring record breaking laps.
Evren Milano, CEO and Head Design at E.Milano (a firm that specializes in custom car modifications), created a rendering of the Mercedes-Benz after the company released two teasers of the ride. But the hypercar won’t look exactly like the rendering.
The teasers clarify that the model will not be having a roof scoop as well as a large rear wing. However, the front part of the rendering could be accurate as the design of the headlights are similar to a recent design study by Mercedes, and also the proportions. Milano’s work somewhat reminds us of a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion.Read the entire article Rendering of Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar hints at road-going qualities
In April, the 2017 New York International Auto Show will set the stage for BMW’s iPerformance lineup. This will showcase the sub-brand’s new plug-in hybrid models including the 2018 530e, 740e xDrive as well as the X5 xDrive40e.
One of the upcoming iPerformance models, The BMW 530e has a 2.0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and electric motor. Its powertrain is similar to the current BMW 330e which provides up to 248hp (185kW) and 310 lb-ft (420Nm) of total output. Unlike the 14 miles of fully electric range that it has on the 3 Series, this powertrain now has up to 15 miles of range on the 5 Series. BMW’s iPerformance 530e will be coming to the US showrooms this spring. Prices start at 51,400 USD while it’s set at 53,700 USD for the xDrive all-wheel drive variant.
Meanwhile, both the X5 xDrive40e and the 740e xDrive iPerformance models will be using the same 2.0-liter 4-cylinder electric motors. The 7 Series’ powertrain is capable of delivering up to 322hp (240kW) and 369 pound feet (500Nm) of torque. On the X5, the same powertrain can produce a total output of 308 hp (230kW) and 332 pound feet (450Nm). When fully charged, these two iPerformance models can deliver up to 14 miles of EV range.Read the entire article 2017 New York Auto Show will have the entire BMW iPerformance models on display
McLaren is said to be designing the next generation of Sports Series, which could include a V6 hybrid among its powertrain options. It was earlier reported that the British automaker has a 6-year plan to develop hybrid electric powertrains for its supercars. McLaren however did not elaborate much on the details about its “Track 22” project.
In a recent interview with Car & Driver, McLaren’s CEO Mike Flewitt said that it’s all about the character. For them, it doesn’t matter if it is going to be a V6, a V8, a V10 or a V12 as long as its performance is good. Also, as much as most people love the “manual-shifting V12”, he thinks it’s rather outdated by twenty years. This is why they are not so attached to the “cylinder count” from the very beginning. Instead, the CEO pointed out the fact that they are more into “performance and excitement”.
Having just come out with V8 engines a couple of years back, the McLaren 570 S and 540C are still using the same updated engine versions of the V8. Though not yet confirmed, the current V8 could be replaced especially after Flewitt commented that they are working on a new V6 hybrid powertrain.Read the entire article Next generation McLaren Sports Series could get a V6 hybrid drivetrain
By 2020, Audi will be throwing out not just one but three fully-electric vehicles. One of which will be pitted against the BMW i8. This new information was revealed by Rupert Stadler, Audi’s chief executive, during the recently concluded Geneva Motor Show. In an interview with Auto Express, Stadler confirms that the electric sports car will be introduced along with Audi’s upcoming SUV and new compact EV.
It is understood that the SUV will come out beforehand in spite its more complicated architecture. Stadler reiterates the growing trend for SUVs about 2 or 3 years ago which helped them arrive to this decision. “There will be a very emotional shape”, the chief executive said as he describes the SUV.
It is unclear however if the new SUV will be another Q6 but more or less, it will have some significant similarities. According to Stadler, Audi’s fully electric SUV will be using VW ID’s 168bhp electric motor with a battery range that can go between 200 and 375 miles. Afterwards, Audi will soon embark on the new sport EV. As also stated, this will follow shortly after the launch of the new electric sport utility vehicle.Read the entire article Audi aims to rival BMW i8 with new fully electric sports EV
No, Mercedes-AMG didn’t take the veil off its new hypercar -- the Mercedes-AMG Project One – at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. It might because there are still some details or specs of the AMG Project One that need to be taken care of. Perhaps, Mercedes-Benz thinks it would be best to unveil its new ultimate creation at an event closer at home – the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Mercedes-AMG is set to unveil the Formula One-powered AMG Project One road-going car in its near-complete form at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show in September as part of AMG’s 50th anniversary celebration. However, that didn’t prevent AMG from providing more details about the Project One at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
In September 2016, Mercedes-AMG did confirm that a hypercar was under development, with a power output that could reach four digits. This means that the Project One hypercar – known then through an internal codename of R50 – would have an engine that could develop at least 1,000 horsepower, which is basically the same power level of the AMG’s championship-winning W07 racer in qualifying mode at Formula. In fact, Formula One was more than just an inspiration for AMG, since the engine that will become as the core of the AMG Project One is a powered-down version of the technology used in its W07 Hybrid race car.Read the entire article F1 engine in Mercedes-AMG Project One will have a rev limit of 11,000 rpm
It’s basically an Italian job. At last, Chinese automaker Techrules comes out with its first production model. Gracing the 2017 Geneva Motor Show is none other than the company’s turbine-electric Ren supercar.
Also in Geneva last year, Techrules had on display the not-so-impressive AT96 supercar --but that would soon be forgotten. We have to say, the Beijing-based supercar-maker has perfected their craft this time around--- Why? Ren’s extraordinary fighter jet design is penned by the automotive industry’s renowned father and son team--- Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro of Italy.
Technically, Ren’s most powerful and advanced hybrid powertrain packs an impressive 1,287hp (967kW) and 1,725 lb-ft (2,340Nm) of torque. The road-going supercar’s different hybrid powertrain configuration comes in either 2, 4 or 6 electric motors. However, Techrules is also offering customers a choice between one or two micro-turbines to generate its 25 kilowatt hour battery pack. The batteries are likewise available in 32kWh, 25kWh and 14 kilowatt-hour strengths.Read the entire article Techrules returns to Geneva with Ren, the 1,287 hp turbine hypercar
To customers and clients seeking more hybrid power in the Porsche Panamera, the German sports carmaker has heard your prayers. Coming to town is a new and more powerful version of the Panamera’s hybrid kind – the new 2018 Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.
Don’t make the mistake of assuming that this Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is your ordinary sporty hybrid sedan. It has enough power to outsprint and outrun majority of the cars on the road. Its core is a hybrid unit composed of the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 engine and an electric motor as mounted on the front. The V6 engine alone delivers around 330 hp of output as well as around 331 lb.-ft. of torque.
Its electric motor, meanwhile, is capable of providing 136 hp of max output and 295 lb.-ft. of peak torque. Thus, the hybrid system could deliver a total output of 462 hp (340 kW) and total torque of 517 lb.-ft. (700 Nm). Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) automatic transmission – allowing the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid to zoom from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds, on the way to reaching a top speed (track) of 172 mph.Read the entire article 680 hp Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid easily achieves 0-60 mph sprint in 3.2-seconds
At present, the standard model is available in two versions. There is a normal trim and there is the Executive extended version that was made specifically for the Chinese market. The plug-in hybrid system is composed of the twin-turbocharged 2.6-liter V6 engine and an electric motor. The electric motor can deliver 134 hp (100 kW) with the V6 engine being able to offer an output of 330 hp (243 kW). This results in around 462 hp (340 kW) of power and is complemented with maximum torque of 516 lb.-ft. (700 Nm).
Reports though are saying that if the brand does come out with a performance model, it is expected to have power of at least 500 hp (373 kW) and thus allow it to have maximum speed of at least 180 mph (289 km/h). If true, this will make it the second fastest Panamera right behind the Panamera Turbo. Various reports also say that this performance model will likely be unveiled at the same time as Porsche will reveal the Panamera Sport Turismo shooting brake, which is next month.Read the entire article 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid coming to Geneva

CROWCHILD TRAIL SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS
Location: Calgary, AB
Project Type: Transportation
About This Project
ISLs team worked with dedication and commitment to meet City/stakeholder needs with continuous communication. The Transportation Infrastructure PM regularly confirms how improvements are integrated before responding to media. Acknowledging stakeholder perspectives resulted in minimal 311 calls throughout design and construction.
ISLs understanding of detour constraints in design and implementation resulted in compliments (not complaints!) from users. ISLs involvement in preparing the tender package combining design, quantities and technical specifications from multiple entities resulted in one cohesive biddable document.
This was an extremely collaborative project. Graham Construction was the general contractor for the entire project while Associated Engineering and WSP were other consultants. Associated Engineering did three bridges and retaining walls including 10 Ave and Memorial Drive ramps while WSP did one bridge over Bow Trail.
