CSDA partnered with GrowthPoint Structures for our first project to re-purpose shipping containers into DSA approved classroom buildings. The project provided four (4) 1,600 SF modular classroom buildings and one restroom facility building for the Vaughn Next Century Learning Center’s F.A.C.E.T. (Family and Community Education Tech Center) program in Pacoima, California.
These re-purposed shipping container buildings provide much needed flexible meeting spaces for adult education classes. The site is located across the street from the Vaughn Global Green Generation Academy (G3) on Herrick Avenue that CSDA designed as well. The central location provides direct access for the community and act as a central meeting space for the many after school activities that take place in the neighborhood. In addition to the new buildings, CSDA’s design incorporates a small parking area and green space.
The F.A.C.E.T. project is designed around flexibility to house multiple functions throughout the day that can be transformed easily through furnishings, accessible technology, and an open plan. The most significant design element of the project overall is the re-use of shipping containers as modular classroom buildings. CSDA and GrowthPoint worked in collaboration to deliver highly energy efficient buildings and as a result, exceeding Title 24 requirements in many areas. This allowed for complete re-use of a material/product which as a result eliminates significant construction waste and reduces the need for new raw materials.
CSDA conducted an environmental noise study for the planned construction of a new, three story commercial building in downtown San Mateo. We measured and compared existing environmental noise levels to acoustical criteria in the State Building Code and the City of San Mateo’s General Plan. CSDA’s report included noise reduction measures, such as sound-rated windows and doors, for the mixed-use retail and office space.
Acousticians reviewed the mechanical drawings and provided multiple options to reconfigure or modify the mechanical equipment to meet the noise criteria in the City of San Mateo’s Municipal Code. In addition, CSDA provided HVAC noise/vibration reduction recommendations for the office spaces.
CSDA provided acoustical consulting services for the Madison Park Business and Art Academy (MPA) expansion. The project will replace portable classrooms with a new high school complex. CSDA conducted an environmental noise study and reviewed Design Development drawings for the new buildings. To meet the project’s Collaboration for High Performance Schools (CHPS) certification goal, our acousticians based their noise calculations and recommendations on the CHPS noise criteria, which is more robust than State of California’s CALGreen.
Our acoustical recommendations were geared towards improving speech intelligibility in the classrooms and reducing distraction from noise in adjacent spaces. Input on wall, floor-ceiling and doors was provided, along with room acoustics recommendations.
Kiddie Academy Childcare relied on CSDA to prepare an environmental noise study for their new location in San Jose, CA. Acousticians measured and calculated the existing environmental noise exposure at the site and evaluated interior noise levels inside the daycare center. As part of the study, CSDA calculated the expected noise generated by the children on the playground to neighboring residences to determine if a noise variance from the City was necessary to meet the San Jose Zoning Ordinance. We recommended mitigation measures, such as sound-rated windows and doors, to reduce noise generated by traffic on Almaden Expressway, and to meet CalGreen and City requirements.
Eaton Hall Architecture retained CSDA to provide acoustical services for design of the SPiN San Francisco table-tennis hall. Located on the ground floor of a low-rise commercial building in San Francisco’s South of Market Area (SOMA) with offices directly above, the table tennis-themed social club, restaurant and bar must meet the City’s noise criteria. The City of San Francisco’s Noise Ordinance limits the noise generated by the project to the adjacent offices and public right-of-way. Based on the construction documents, CSDA calculated projected noise and vibration levels from the HVAC equipment as well as potential noise transfer from the restaurant to the upstairs offices. Drawing on our extensive experience with room acoustics, CSDA provided reverberant noise buildup solutions that will help reduce noise transfer to the offices and support sound system clarity within the entertainment space.

In constructing a new Severn River Bridge, the State Highway Administration has violated federal rules protecting wetlands, state officials acknowledged yesterday.
The SHA has a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers to build in the wetlands along the banks of the lower Severn River. But construction crews destroyed an eighth-acre of wetlands outside that permit area because of a "small design error," spokeswoman Liz Ziemski said.
Wetlands are considered important because they provide a natural filter of pollutants before they are carried by storm water into the river. They also are considered valuable habitat.
"It's something we take seriously, and we regret it," said Ziemski.
Critics of the high-span bridge agree the destruction of the wetlands is serious. They have asked the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for injunction to stop construction of the bridge.
"To stop any further damage to the wetlands or allow more construction than necessary for a low-level bridge, we thought an injunction would be appropriate," said Richard Nettler, a Washington attorney with the firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, which represents the high span's foes.
Citizens for a Scenic Severn River Bridge fear a high span would damage the Severn's environment and Annapolis' historic skyline. They would prefer a lower span similar to the existing Route 450 drawbridge.
The group also contends the state never conducted proper environmental impact studies before proceeding with the $40 million high span.
But a lower court has rebuffed the group's attempt to block the project. A stop-work order would allow the appeals court time to reconsider the case, Nettler said.
"Since there is no impact study and the state is proceeding full bore, we're arguing that we could be irreparably harmed," said Brian Miller, president of Citizens for a Scenic Severn River Bridge.
Nettler said the request for injunction was delivered to the Richmond, Va., court yesterday.
Ziemski said the SHA has met with the Army Corps of Engineers about the wetlands violation. A sediment trap used to control erosion was misplaced on the original permit application, causing the error, she said.
The sediment trap will be removed after construction, allowing the site to revert back to a wetland, she said. The SHA also will create an additional half-acre of wetlands, she said.
State Sen. Gerald Winegrad, a leading environmental activist in the State House, said the SHA was wrong for violating its permit. But "the acreage is minimal, no more than the footprint of your average house.
"The high-bridge, low-bridge debate is the only thing that makes this controversial," said Winegrad, an Annapolis Democrat. "And they were building a low bridge, it would be disturbed anyway."

I am happy to receive in the mail my Peppermint Parcels Christmas Quilt, back from Quilter’s World.
I loved working with Henry Glass‘ Hip Holidays fabrics for the Christmas Present blocks:
I stitched “Merry Christmas” in different languages on the gift tags. The church my family went to while I was growing up, and still does, is a Chinese church. So, we would greet friends at church “Merry Christmas” in Mandarin.
[What else you can stitch on the gift tags: Names of Family Members, Names of your Quilt Guild Friends, Blessings of the Christmas season such as love, joy, peace etc, Addresses of the places you have lived if your family has moved a lot, Christmas verses you like – feel free to add more suggestions in the comment section]
This particular block was made with my Russian friend Ellen in mind. She showed me via email how Merry Christmas was written:
Technical information: Unmarked free-motion quilting on my Bernina 640; Quilting Thread – Aurifil Mako 50; Quilt Batting – Hobbs‘ Tuscany Silk (In case you haven’t already known, this is my favorite combination of thread and batting when it comes to quilting a quilt!); Fusible: Steam A Seam2 by Warm Company; Pattern – found in Quilter’s World‘s December 2010 issue; Finished size: 50″ square.
This was a super fun quilt to make. I would love to know if you do make it too! I am trying to find out if it would be possible to kit this project at this time. So if you are committed in purchasing a kit, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.org.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely day and week!

Miami, FL – The first pitch at the brand-new Marlins Park was thrown by none other than The People's Champion, Muhammad Ali.
Ali, who won his first world heavyweight title in Miami, was greeted by chants of "Ali! Ali!" from the sellout crowd at Marlins Park as he was driven to the mound on a cart with Marlins owner Jeffery Loria.
Unable to physically throw the pitch himself due to Parkinson's disease, Ali then handed the game ball to Miami third baseman Hanley Ramirez.

Leading software development teams can feel like piloting an airplane on pure instinct sometimes. But you won’t be able to immediately detect problems and keep your flight on track without your dashboard, gauges, and metrics panel.
And because teams are working on different aspects of a product, you don’t always have the data to know exactly what they’re working on. It’s not like you have an air traffic controller to give you directions either — you need a way to visualize your org’s progress yourself.
That’s where engineering intelligence tools come in. Just like a pilot’s console, these tools help you quickly identify problems and recalibrate, so your org stays on track.
In this article, we’ll define engineering intelligence, what makes an engineering intelligence tool effective, and the best options available today.
Table of Contents
- What Is Engineering Intelligence?
- What to Look for in an Engineering Intelligence Tool
- 5 Best Engineering Intelligence Tools
- How to Improve Your Engineering Metrics
What Is Engineering Intelligence?
Just like business intelligence, engineering intelligence takes the data produced in your daily operations, and helps you visualize it to improve your processes. Engineering intelligence tools run specialized calculations on collected data, and give you details that can help you make strategic and tactical decisions for your org.
With this data visualization and real-time insights, you’ll be able to quickly identify what problems your teams are facing — whether it’s inefficiencies, technical debt, or declining performance. You’ll then be able to take action to resolve those issues straight away.
So in a nutshell, engineering analytics platforms gather data so you can show your execs what your teams are working on. They also pinpoint any bottlenecks in your processes so you can remove them.
What to Look for in an Engineering Intelligence Tool
Sorting through all the available engineering intelligence tools can take some time. To help speed things up, we’ve highlighted four key features you should focus on when selecting the best tool for your org:
- High-quality metrics: Just because you have access to tons of metrics, doesn’t mean you need them all. Your platform should show you actionable metrics, like DORA metrics, not empty metrics like lines of code.
- User-friendliness: Having a data set is great, but tools like Jira don’t exactly make it easy for you to access it. Your engineering intelligence tool needs to give you accurate data without much hassle.
- Ease of use: You don’t want to drown in a vast ocean of unintelligible data and SQL queries. Your engineering intelligence platform should give you the valuable insights you need, at a glance.
- Visibility into roadblocks: Your engineering intelligence platform should help you spot all bottlenecks and give you tools to eliminate them.
5 Best Engineering Intelligence Tools
The five tools we’ve chosen are all easy to use, offer great metrics, and enable you to get started with them right away!
1. Power BI
Power BI is an integrated and scalable business intelligence tool for individual users and large organizations. This enterprise-grade tool aims to provide the most in-depth look into your data.
Power BI also comes with a dashboard that gives you a centralized view of all the data you need. And with its detailed, built-in reporting, you can get actionable insights to track down and eliminate bottlenecks in your processes.
Propelo facilitates data transformations and safe, reliable, and consistent product delivery. This engineering intelligence tool offers key DevOps insights while empowering your dev teams with no-code workflow automation.
Leveraging your existing data, Propelo enables you to see how your teams are performing at a glance. It also offers insights for how you can remove potential roadblocks. Your teams can then set up contextual automation to streamline routine tasks.
Uplevel gives you complete insights into your engineering org’s efforts so you can plan confidently. Uplevel’s long-term goal is to create a world where engineers are happy to work, not getting burnt out from the constant stream of tasks.
This tool delivers comprehensive and actionable data-driven insights, allowing teams to make incremental improvements that have a significant impact. Uplevel also blends data science with organizational science to give you a comprehensive picture of your entire org. This way, you can help engineering leaders work on things that truly align with business needs.
Embold scans your repositories for code quality, helping teams become more familiar with their software. This eliminates tech debt, because it facilitates efficient source code data analysis. Embold also draws attention to problems that could compromise the code’s stability, integrity, and resilience before they become significant obstacles.
This engineering intelligence tool offers a straightforward user interface and several powerful analytics tools that give you real-time info about your programs. Embold features a flagging system at the component level to help your developers find the bug’s exact location. It then uses artificial intelligence to rank issues based on severity, so your teams can get clear, actionable plans.
LinearB is a comprehensive platform that gives you dashboards, reports, and real-time alerts on what your teams are working on. To do that, it integrates with your Git and project management tools. It then uses industry-standard engineering benchmarks to show you how your org is performing.
LinearB will also give you clear insights into issues that may be slowing down your workflow. And with that data, you can make actionable plans to streamline your pipeline and identify areas of improvement for your engineering org.
As a result, you’ll be able to usher your entire engineering org into a new golden age centered around three key pillars: developer experience, engineering tempo, and business alignment.
How to Improve Your Engineering Metrics
Engineering intelligence tools give you a clear view of your engineering org’s performance and the power to improve it. Metrics alone don’t improve dev teams, but you can use them to visualize your processes and clear out obstacles.
LinearB helps you track the right metrics and improve them. You can use our engineering benchmarks to figure out where your org is falling behind. You can then set Team Goals to reach these standards and actually track your improvement. You can even celebrate your org’s progress and successes with custom notifications.
After that, our WorkerB bot helps your teams more easily reach their targets. It allows devs to automate routine tasks like creating Jira tickets, and even gives context to reviewers to speed up the PR process.
And paired with gitStream, your teams will be able to automate PR routing using policy-as-code. This way, code won’t get stuck in reviews for days on end, and your PR process will be much more efficient overall!

Nine people from Macclesfield were officially made British citizens in a ceremony at the town hall. They were among 25 people from across the borough who swore an oath and allegiance to the Queen and received certificates confirming their status as British nationals.
It was the end of a long, hard process for the new citizens, who had to sit exams on British life and many had to learn English as a new language.
They have come from as far afield as Bangladesh, Botswana, Morocco, Iraq and Russia to settle in Cheshire.
They were congratulated by dignitaries including the Mayor of Cheshire East Roger West, CEC Leader Wesley Fitzgerald, cabinet member for safer and stronger communities, Rachael Bailey, John Kelly, head of nationality at the Home Office and Vice Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, Joelle Warren.
Mayor West told the new British nationals: "I know I am biased, but Cheshire is an outstanding area. I hope by becoming citizens you will continue to make valuable contributions to the community"
Soloman Varghese, 44, became a citizen along with his wife Sebastian and children Blessy, 10, Biatrics, three and Benjamin, six months.
The family, of Kennedy Avenue, moved to England from Kerala, India in 2005 when Sebastian began working as a nurse for a private healthcare firm.
He said: "We feel very British already. We got to have tea with the Queen when Blessy won a Blue Peter competition last month. We got to speak to her face-to-face so will be very happy to swear allegiance to her today."
Emilie Hasrouty, 34, is originally from Lebanon and moved to England after meeting her husband Nagah, from Macclesfield, in Paris. She now lives on Pickenham Close.
"I love life in the UK," she said. "And I love every bit of Cheshire – especially the cheeses as we used to love the cheese in France.
"We have a lot of friends stay with us and they know all about Cheshire now as well." Olha Lyekar, 45, her husband Valeriy and daughter Svitlana, 13, of Buckley Street, Macclesfield, came to England six years ago from the Ukraine.
She said: "We came to look for work and a better life. We were thinking about our children’s future. We will now get the chance to travel freely."
The ceremony concluded with the national anthem played by students from All Hallows Catholic college.


Brooklyn Beckham is gradually progressing in Arsenal’s youth teams..

However, an illustrious youth set-up such as Arsenal will be handing out favours, especially following the renovations in the personnel with Andries Jonkers replacing Liam Brady as youth team director at the club.
With many of the regulars in the U-18 side away in a tournament in Qatar, Beckham junior was offered the chance to take his place on the bench but remained an unused substitute.
Other burgeoning talents such as Daniel Crowley, Gedion Zelalem and Stefan O’Connor were all involved.

Newsstand Gives Conde Nast and Other Publishers Huge Sales Bump
Newspaper and Magazine publishers take notice, Apple's Newsstand might be what they need to boost sales and subscriptions.
According to Conde Nast, since the October 12 release of Newsstand the company has seen a 268 percent increase in subscriptions for the digital versions of their titles. Single title sales experienced a boost as well up 142 percent from the previous eight week period.
Whether the sales increases represent a long-term boom or a momentary bump is yet to be seen. But, the early details are encouraging. Newsstand is effectively and iTunes like funnel for digital publishers. User's magazines and newspapers are funneled to a single folder and subscriptions and single issue purchases are all handled in-app. The ease with which consumers can find and purchase new content has spurred growth for other publishers as well.
PixelMags, the digital publish platform for Mens Health, Cosmopolitan, Esquire and a number of other high-profile brands reported a 1,150 percent increase in sales over the first week of Newsstand's release. The New York Times iPad app experienced huge growth as well with 189,000 new user downloads in the first week as well, nearly seven times the number of downloads the week before. Their iPhone app saw an increase in downloads from 21,000 the week before Newsstand's release to 1.8 million downloads the week after. For the numbers inclined, that is 85 times more downloads in a week, with nothing more than the release of an application spurring the growth.
Hopefully, for the sake of the written word, these numbers continue to impress. Publishers who originally thought the iPad would be the savior of Newspapers and Magazines, but were disappointed over the last two years are probably resting well this week. Apple completely changed the way we purchase music, and the labels begrudgingly followed suit. Magazine and Newspaper publishers are embracing the reinvention of their market with open arms.

OKLA. CITY —
“We have nothing to hide,” Oklahoma City VA Medical Center Director Daniel Marsh told reporters during a Tuesday afternoon press conference.
Earlier this year, after allegations were reported to the VA office of inspector general’s hotline, the office affirmed that about 1,700 patients at the Phoenix VA hospital were not put on any existing wait list and faced treatment delays of up to 115 days.
In late April, the Office of Inspector General assembled a multi-disciplinary team to address numerous allegations at Phoenix and other VA medical facilities, acting VA Inspector General Richard Griffin said during Monday’s congressional hearing. Due to the number of issues, the OIG is conducting a comprehensive review requiring an in-depth examination of records and personnel.
Since the Phoenix VA story broke, the OIG received allegations of similar issues regarding manipulated wait times at other Veteran Health Administration medical facilities through various channels, Griffin said.
In response, the OIG has opened reviews at other Veteran Health Administration medical facilities to determine whether scheduling practices were in use that did not comply with scheduling policies and procedures, Griffin said.
Tuesday’s press conference in Oklahoma City occurred a day after the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs released results from a nationwide access audit, which found that new patients at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center waited an average of 44 days for primary care.
Marsh told reporters scheduling audits here have revealed no findings.
“Our mission is very simple,” Marsh said. “We honor America’s veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and their well-being. That’s our only mission.”
Marsh said the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center serves the western two thirds of Oklahoma and two counties in north Texas where the Wichita Falls clinic is based. It receives referrals from Muskogee, Fayetteville, Ark., and other parts of the VA occasionally.
The local VA has an annex clinic on North May Avenue and is looking to expand into the south part of Oklahoma City, where the agency is working with property owners to acquire necessary property, Marsh said. The local VA has eight community-based outpatient clinics, two veterans centers — one in Oklahoma City and one in Lawton.
“Any veteran has the ability to go anywhere in the United States and get care,” Marsh said. “Our electronic health record gives everybody access to their health record regardless of where they are so that we can ensure the highest quality of care and continuity of care as well.”
Marsh said evidence as to the quality of care in Oklahoma City includes recent growth. In fiscal year 2014, leaders are expecting to see well over 58,000 unique veterans, patients seen at least 15 times in a given year, Marsh said.
The trend in health care across the nation is to minimize in-patient stays, Marsh said. Oklahoma City has been working to improve disease prevention and management and keeping patients out of the hospital when it’s appropriate, Marsh said.
Marsh said the local VA medical center is managing as many patients as possible in an ambulatory care setting, in a home-based primary care setting and in some cases in a tele-health setting minimizing patient travel time.
The Oklahoma City VA Medical Center offers services ranging from primary care to neurosurgery. Its total bed capacity is 192. Overall, the facility enrolls about 20-50 veterans on a daily basis. Staff are constantly rescheduling visits. And outpatient visits continue to rise.
Oklahoma City VA Medical Center Chief of Staff Mark Huycke said the facility strives to provide personalized, proactive patient-driven health care. Huycke said the VA is undergoing changes toward a model reducing the number of face-to-face visits.
Marsh said challenges include a recent federal pay freeze and competing with private sector salaries.
Nationwide on May 15 the Veterans Health Administration had more than 6 million appointments scheduled across the system. About 57,436 veterans were waiting to be scheduled for care. Another 63,869 who had enrolled in the system during the past 10 years had not been seen for an appointment. The VA was working to contact these veterans.

English rugby star Joe Marler has been banned for 10 weeks after he was found guilty of grabbing and squeezing an opponent’s private parts.
Marler was seen squeezing his opponent Alun Wyn Jones’ genitals during the Six Nations match between England and Wales last Saturday after a scuffle emerged between rival players.
Appearing before a disciplinary panel, Marler admitted he had committed an act of foul play but denied grabbing, twisting or squeezing the Wales captain's genitals.
But the panel sitting in Dublin on Thursday found that the offense of grabbing the opponent’s private parts warranted a low-end entry point of 12 weeks’ suspension, reducing it by three weeks for mitigating factors such as good character and remorse, but adding a week due to the 29-year-old’s recent disciplinary record.
Marler will resume playing on Monday, June 8th after serving the ban but he has the right to appeal the panel’s judgment.

Hope you've been having fun fooling around with mydeco. Along with mydeco and Polyvore ( a site I shared with you in a previous blog that I use to create design/mood boards) I have discovered the benefits of Sherwin Williams' Colour Visualizer. It's a great tool that enables you to view rooms in varying colours. My clients, who are often both excited and nervous about changing the colours in their living spaces, love seeing the finished product before the painting has begun.
One such couple recently hired me for a colour consultation.
The photos below show you the options I presented to them. The furnishings and accessories were already in place when they contacted me. Which do you like best?
Like any tool, the Colour Visualizer needs a bit of practice to master. After uploading a photo, you mask off a space you want to paint. At first I simply used the brush tools and my edges were very uneven. So I started practicing with the tool that masks off complete areas and now have a good sense of how to use it efficiently. There are 2 such tools; one is labeled 'rectangle' and the other 'polygon'. You can paint the walls, ceilings, trim, doors and even furnishings. I have painted over bathroom vanities and window and bed coverings as well.
Have fun with the Colour Visualizer. If you want some colour suggestions or confirmation of your colour choices, just send me a photo. I'd be happy to help you garner Rave Re:views.
Oops! In my haste to pack for Toronto and write my last blog on March 11th close to the midnight hour, I neglected to actually post the entry. It wasn't until the following week when my husband wondered why I hadn't written a blog since early March that I realized my faux pas. Lesson learned: Don't pack and write a blog entry a couple of hours before you have get up early to catch a 6:00 a.m flight!!!

Another first for Barack Obama. The Times of Israel reports via the Associated Press that the president and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif “ran into one another on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.”
According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, the two “accidentally” shook hands.
represents the first handshake between an American president and Iran’s top diplomat since the 1979 Islamic Revolution ousted a pro-Western monarchy in Iran. The two countries have had no diplomatic relations since then.
But maybe in the time he has left Obama can correct that deficiency. He took steps toward appeasing our enemies in the war on terror when he reiterated his long-held position during today’s address to the General Assembly:
“Violent extremism is not unique to any one faith, so no one should ever be profiled or targeted simply because of their faith.” —@POTUS
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 29, 2015
Of course that statement, like all criticisms of racial or ethnic profiling, is true only if you collapse current events and all of history into an amorphous blob so that, say, the Crusades and current barbarism in the Middle East are happening simultaneously.
As for the handshake, last month Obama normalized relations with Cuba after half a century. And that was no accident.

A Stunning Video of Mars That Took Three Months to Stitch Together—by Hand
This is from Wired magazine via Russ Hudson, who will receive PentaProps™!
IF YOU SHOULD one day find yourself in a spacecraft circling Mars, don’t count on a good view. The Red Planet’s dusty atmosphere will probably obscure any window-seat vistas of its deep valleys and soaring mesas. “The best way to see the planet’s surface would be to take a digital image and enhance it on your computer,” says planetary geologist Alfred McEwen, principle investigator on NASA’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. He would know: In the past 12 years, the powerful HiRISE camera has snapped 50,000 spectacular, high-resolution stereo images of the Martian terrain from the planet’s orbit, creating anaglyphs that anyone can view in 3D using special glasses. The highly detailed stereograms depict the planet’s surface in remarkable detail—but 3D glasses aren’t always handy, and still images can only convey so much about Mars’ varied topography.
To fully appreciate the Martian landscape, one needs dimension and movement. In the video you see here, Finnish filmmaker Jan Fröjdman transformed HiRISE imagery into a dynamic, three-dimensional, overhead view of the Red Planet—no glasses required.
For Fröjdman, creating the flyover effect was like assembling a puzzle. He began by colorizing the photographs (HiRISE captures images in grayscale). He then identified distinctive features in each of the anaglyphs—craters, canyons, mountains–and matched them between image pairs. To create the panning 3-D effect, he stitched the images together along his reference points and rendered them as frames in a video. “It was a very slow process,” he says.
I’m lovin’ it!
I want to GO there … and if I can get myself on one of Elon Musk’s upcoming ships I WILL!
Full circle, eh?
Or something like that…

17th century art
Hollar was born in 1607, the son of an upper middle-class civic official. Very little is known about his early life, but he evidently learned the rudiments of his craft by age eighteen, left his native Prague at age twenty, and likely studied in Frankfurt under Matthaus Merian. His first book of etchings was published in 1635 in Cologne when Hollar was twenty-eight. The following year he came to the attention of the renowned art collector the Earl of Arundel who was making an official visit to the continent, and Hollar subsequently became a part of his household, settling in England early in 1637. He remained in England during the beginning of the English Civil War period, but left London for Antwerp in 1642, where he continued to work on a variety of projects.

DLAT encodes component E2 of the multi-enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). PDC resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A. The protein product of this gene, dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase, accepts acetyl groups formed by the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and transfers them to coenzyme A. Dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase is the antigen for antimitochondrial antibodies. These autoantibodies are present in nearly 95% of patients with the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In PBC, activated T lymphocytes attack and destroy epithelial cells in the bile duct where this protein is abnormally distributed and overexpressed. PBC enventually leads to cirrhosis and liver failure.

In partnership with client McWHINNEY, JOHNSON NATHAN STROHE recently celebrated the opening of the Cycle Apartments in Fort Collins. The team completed the architecture and interior design of the three- and four-story walk up apartments, which consist of 20 buildings on 10.2 acres.
The 405-unit apartment community makes physical activity a priority with amenities including a bike repair shop, 24/7 fitness facility, golf simulator and easy access to regional biking trails in the area. The community is also within walking distance to popular destinations, including the Foothills Mall and Colorado State University.
To inspire social interaction, JOHNSON NATHAN STROHE designed multiple common spaces, including an outdoor lounge space and grill area, a media and gaming area with TV, billiards and ping pong, a resort-style pool, and a spa and sun deck.
Maintaining a distinct pedestrian-oriented design, JOHNSON NATHAN STROHE created a breezeway with metal lattice features, which act as both a visual cue for breezeway entry as well as fall protection for the stair landing above. The metal lattice visually separates the adjacent building materials, allowing the contrasting material and color to act as a large wayfinding landmark. Tuck-under garages are oriented to mirror the adjacent building’s layout, creating a courtyard at the center of each series of buildings.
And it seems appropriate that the Cycle Apartments found a home in Fort Collins. Fort Collins is recognized as the ‘best bicycle city in the U.S.,’ with plenty of bike lanes and amenities that improve ridership and safety.The opening of JOHNSON NATHAN STROHE’s Cycle Apartments acknowledges and appreciates this local biking culture, aiming to bring it inside the home of the avid biker.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The summer heatwave has resulted in one of the worst droughts in recent Texas history. With that drought comes a lot of changes to our environment. Caves are drying up because of the drought. Farmers are being forced to restrict water usage. Now the ground itself is shrinking and putting homes at risk.
“We’re right in the middle of that drought. Things are starting to move around,” said Paul White, production manager with Foundation Support Specialists in Austin. He said during the summer and intense droughts they see an increase in calls from homeowners reporting damaged foundations.
“When concrete breaks and rebar bends, that’s permanent damage that definitely needs to be resolved.”
According to White, the specific soil that many Central Texas homes are built on is to blame for the increased calls during these dry spells. “We’re known for having pretty unstable soil. And that comes in the form of clay.”
According to the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Office, the soil east of Interstate 35 is primarily clay. What makes this type of soil so dangerous for homes is how it reacts to weather. During wet periods, it swells and grows denser. During dry periods, however, it shrinks.
This swelling and shrinking places different forces on a home’s foundation, weakening it over time. White said this happens with all soil types over time but is most noticeable with clay.
Why clay soil is bad for your foundation
During these dry periods, the shrunken clay causes extra issues. “It causes gaps underneath homes, and those homes will, by way of gravity, start to fall into those gaps, creating some settlement issues and some unevenness across the home,” White said.
While the soil will return to its original shape over time, the foundation will not likely recover. “You’re gonna see cracking in your drywall, you might see cracks that were previously there, that start to widen, you’ll see cracking in the ceiling,”
If you notice these symptoms, White recommends calling an inspector who can confirm your home’s foundation has shifted. If they notice a shift after taking measurements of your home, they’ll straighten it out by driving steel beams into the ground, then attaching the beams to your home.
Preventing damage to your foundation
White said the best way to prevent your soil from shrinking and damaging your foundation is to do something you’re likely already doing: watering.
“Water your yard, just keep doing that. And that’s probably the best thing you can do.”
However, White said overwatering can cause further issues. He said to make sure water doesn’t pool around the foundation of your home. Water that gets under your foundation can cause further damage and could cause you to spend even more on repairs.

In hindsight, we were all incredibly unfair to Liz Phair around the turn of the century, myself included. Luckily, we're now older and more mature (and have aged out of being insufferable music snobs), so we can enjoy Phair's still incredible musical output. Her new single, "Hey Lou," imagines an ordinary day in the life of Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson. Musically, it fits perfectly in the middle of her more indie fare and her releases that were wrongly hated. This is the kind of musical progression we can all get behind. It's a chilled out, beautiful song that really captures Phair's impossible coolness.
You can watch the video for "Hey Lou" below. Soberish is due out sometime later this year. For more on Liz Phair, check out her website.

The unique Vesak concepts portrayed by Rainco and its creative partner Triad Ltd. have stood out year after year at the ‘Colombo Vesak Kalapaya’.
In celebration of this year’s Vesak festival the duo set out to depict a sacred memorandum through a contemporary and modern creative concept. The theme ‘The Eight Vicissitudes of Buddhism” (Atalo Dahama) was brought to life through a pandal projected on water.
The Pandal took the form of an umbrella, of which the eight sides signified the eight Vicissitudes. A water flower positioned at the heart of the Beira Lake formed a liquid monitor on which animated illustrations relevant to the eight vicissitudes were projected.
This digital pandal, the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, was a design inspired by insightful creativity, crafted and brought to life through cutting edge digital technology.

Hoover's Maddie Morrow breaks county high jump record
Maddie Morrow keeps reaching new heights.
The Hoover High School junior broke her own Stark County girls high jump record and may have set a new 2011 national standard Saturday when she cleared 5 feet, 11 inches at the Loudonville Mohican Elite Meet.
The DyeStat and MileSplit track and field and cross country websites list a 5-101⁄2 by Lexi Eaton of Springville, Utah as the top girls high jump in the nation this season. It is unclear whether Morrow’s jump was matched or surpassed Saturday.
Still, it marks the third time Morrow has broken the county record. She originally set it last season with a 5-9 and broke it at the state meet when she finished second at 5-10. Medina’s Taylor Burke won the state title with a 5-11.
Morrow held the No. 1 high school ranking for the indoor season when she jumped 5-11 to beat Burke and win the Ohio Indoor Track and Field Championships. The jump tied a state indoor record.
Morrow and Hoover’s Becca Maj shared MVP honors as they helped lead the Vikings to the Mohican Elite Meet team title. Maj won the 100-meter hurdles and pole vault.

US EPA announces $50 million in clean diesel grants
3 April 2008
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced availability of nearly $50 million in grant funding to establish clean diesel projects aimed at reducing emissions from the existing fleet of diesel engines. The funding—funded for the first time this fiscal year—was authorized by the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) and incorporated within the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The program will be administered by EPA’s National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC) and its network of seven collaboratives, made up of EPA regional offices and public and private sector partners.
The EPA will distribute approximately $27 million through a competitive grant system that would favor the most cost-effective programs affecting the greatest number of Americans. The remaining funds will be used to support emerging technologies, new financing programs and provide matching funds for states that develop their own retrofit funding programs. A state matching funds component was included in order to further leverage the money appropriated by Congress.
The grants are targeting school or transit buses, medium and heavy-duty trucks, marine engines, locomotives and nonroad engines. Grant recipients can use a variety of emission reduction strategies, such as EPA-verified retrofit and idle-reduction technologies, EPA-certified engine upgrades, vehicle or equipment replacements, cleaner fuels and creation of innovative clean diesel financing programs. State, local, regional and tribal governments can apply for the grants, as well as non-profits and institutions with transportation, educational services and air quality responsibilities.
Some EPA Regional offices—such as EPA Region 7, in conjunction with the Blue Skyways Collaborative—have already started issuing Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for grant applications and, along with EPA Headquarters, will continue to roll them out throughout the spring.
More than 400,000 existing diesel engines have already been retrofitted during the NCDC campaign’s first few years.

Though the Boston Bruins ultimately finished second to the Edmonton Oilers in last spring’s NHL Draft lottery, many pundits believed that they actually finished first when they landed talented center Tyler Seguin. For while Taylor Hall was the most NHL-ready prospect available in the Draft, it appeared that Seguin might have the brightest future in terms of long-term potential.
Indeed, expectations were tempered heading into rookie camp, but when Seguin excelled – and then again in training camp – it started to look like the talented rookie might just earn a permanent spot on the roster. And when Marc Savard was placed on injured reserve due to post-concussion syndrome, it opened the door for Seguin to play regular shifts at the NHL level.
As a result, the Bruins kept him on the NHL roster past the nine-game “trial term” and began his arbitration clock.
At times, Seguin appeared more than ready for the challenge, but by and large he’s proven to be exactly what everyone should have expected going in: a supremely talented young hockey player with a ton to learn.
With the Bruins hoping to compete for the Cup this spring, the organization isn’t well-served by suffering through Seguin’s inevitable learning curve, a fact underscored by head coach Claude Julien’s decision to make him a healthy scratch for Wednesday night’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres. For even though it’s clear that Seguin is capable of helping the Bruins in their quest for the Cup, it’s also clear that Julien isn’t prepared to give him more ice time.
Last night, when Seguin returned to the lineup for the Bruins’ 4-3 loss to Montreal, ice time was in short supply. Seguin played a total of only 10:42, more only than fourth liners Gregory Campbell (-2, 1 shot, 2 PIM), Brad Marchand (-2, 0 shots) and enforcer Shawn Thornton (-1). Campbell’s penalty led to a Habs’ goal by Max Pacioretty scored just one second after he emerged from the penalty box.
Meanwhile, Seguin notched and assist, fired two shots on goal, and finished the contest at a +1. He didn’t see the ice during the power play, while seven Bruins forwards received over three minutes’ power play time. Only Milan Lucic managed to score with the man advantage, the Bruins’ lack of success a key reason for their loss.
“Either way, I am going to win and I am going to lose,’’ Julien told the Boston Globe. “If we do things right, we could be battling for a top spot in the division.’’ And when asked about the impact of scratching Seguin, he said “It’s an 82-game season. I don’t think it will kill him.’’
Unfortunately, Julien is being placed in a situation in which it’s impossible to win. His task is to lead the Bruins to the Stanley Cup, and every decision he makes should be in service of that goal. If he believes that scratching Seguin gives the Bruins a better chance to win a given game, he will and he should. If he believes that keeping Seguin off the ice during the power play – or giving him only about 10-12 minutes’ ice time per game – is what will give the Bruins the best chance to win, that’s what he should do.
But this isn’t about the Bruins’ 2010-11 season, not at all. And the Bruins are playing with fire forcing Julien to balance the team’s needs against Seguin’s long-term developmental needs.
For while Seguin’s promise is undeniable, it’s clear that Julien doesn’t yet believe that Seguin offers more to the current Bruins than players like Michael Ryder and Blake Wheeler, though his talent obviously far surpasses theirs. And so, there’s no valid argument for keeping him in the NHL at this stage. It’s up to GM Peter Chiarelli to make life easier for Julien, removing concerns about Seguin’s development from his lexicon.
Hindsight is, of course, 20/20, and it’s painfully obvious at this stage that the Bruins would have been better off making Seguin available to Team Canada for the upcoming World Junior Championships. There, he would have been playing 20-plus minutes per night in a highly competitive tournament against some of the best and brightest under-20 hockey players in the world, likely serving as Canada’s first-line pivot and perhaps even its team captain. There, he would have gotten the opportunity to grow and develop, and likely would have returned post-tournament much more prepared to contribute.
But with Team Canada’s lineup already announced, the only chance of Seguin joining the team would be the combination of an injury to a forward and major concessions from both the Bruins and the Team Canada’s cognoscenti. Much like putting Seguin’s arbitration clock on hold for another year, the opportunity to allow Seguin to play for Team Canada has all but passed, but there’s no reason to compound the mistake when ameliorations are at hand.
There still remains one unorthodox but potentially valuable option: sending Seguin back to the Plymouth Whalers in the OHL. While such a move wouldn’t come without controversy – after all, by starting Seguin’s arbitration clock, the Bruins would rather pay him to play for them than the Whalers – it would likely be in both the Bruins’ and Seguin’s best interests to do just that.
With a 17-11-1 record in the OHL, the Whalers are in the hunt for a playoff spot, and the addition of Seguin would no doubt significantly improve their chances. The opportunity to play a key role for an OHL team would likely serve Seguin far better than playing a bit role for the Bruins, allowing him to develop his skills in a lower-pressure environment while enabling the Bruins to focus on the task at hand: reaching and excelling in the playoffs.
And when the OHL season and Memorial Cup playoffs are over, Seguin will be in an excellent position to rejoin the Bruins and – at that time – represent an upgrade and boost to their lineup that will cause their playoff opponents to shudder.

- DeFiChain revealed that nothing “drastic” will happen to dAMZN holders after the stock split.
- Everything went “smoothly” during AMZN’s 20-for-1 stock split, according to a representative from DeFiChain.
- The team revealed that dAMZN, too, will break up, similar to what happened to the Amazon stock.
Nothing “drastic” will happen to Amazon Tokenized Stock Defichain (dAMZN) holders moving forward, says DeFiChain to CQ, following Amazon’s (AMZN’s) 20-for-1 stock split.
According to sources within the native decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, everything went “smoothly” during AMZN’s 20-for-1 stock split which broke each existing share of AMZN into 20 individual units.
Furthermore, the team revealed that dAMZN, too, will split up, similar to what happened to the Amazon stock. Notably, holders of the dAMZN DeFi coin will get 20 tokens for each dAMZN token that they own.
However, DeFiChain clarified that their investments will not increase by 20 times. Token holders will still hold the same amount of investments as they had before the June 6 split. Meanwhile, DeFiChain will update the dAMZN price from the oracles.
When asked about the intricacies of the split, DeFiChain explained that the process was enforced in two stages — market execution and DeFiChain execution. Based on cues from the stock market, DeFiChain locked all existing dAMZN tokens. DeFiChain then reflected the prices, following the market reopening with the updated prices post-split.
The announcement from DefiChain came on the heels of the mentioned split during the first week of June. Allegedly, the Amazon 20-for-1 stock split was performed to lower the entry barrier for newer investors looking to invest in the company. Prior to the split, Amazon shares were too steep for such greenhorn investors.
DeFiChain also offers other dTokens, including dTSLA (Tesla Inc), dDIS (Walt Disney Co), dINTC (Intel Corporation), dMSTR (MicroStrategy Incorporated), and more.

text: A new procedure could potentially repair severed nerves and enable patients to recover from nerve damage in days or weeks, opposed to months or years. Researchers at the University of Texas used a cellular mechanism similar to that used to repair damage to nerve axons and were able to mend nerves in minutes. This allows the behaviour that the nerves control to be "partially restored within days and often largely restored within two to four weeks," Professor George Bittner, leader of the study, explained. "If further developed in clinical trials this approach would be a great advance on current procedures that usually imperfectly restore lost function within months at best." Researchers made the discovery when analysing the mechanisms animal cells use to repair damage to membranes, particularly in invertebrates. The success of the study lies with the revelation that axons of invertebrates when severed from the body do not degenerate within days as in mammals. Instead they can survive for months or years, often reconnecting with the distal nerve axon to restore normal nerve behaviour much quicker than in mammals. The discovery could potentially help stroke patients who experience nerve damage. Find the nearest /Barchester care home.

i’ve now read two books by john crowley: engine summer and Aegypt. crowley is a favorite of my close friend ryan…he bought me most of crowley’s books as a gift, which was nice, given that they are mostly hard to find or out of print.
crowley’s books are not easy to read (if these two are any example). he makes no effort to provide a cushion for the reader, to help them on their journey through the world he creates. instead, he seems to relish dislocation and opaque prose. i’ve read other authors who do the same (Gene Wolfe and Iain Banks being two notable examples), but crowley seems to have his own gig.
engine summer is a post-apocalyptic tale, one where the future is not exactly bright, but then again, not entirely dark. in fact, for some time in the novel, you’re not even sure it’s the future (an approach that reminded me very much of Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun series).
despite the dislocation, he weaves a very compelling tale, one that creates a plausible future told with a somewhat foreign voice from that future. it may take you half way to reach the crest of the first hill of the rollercoaster, but i’d venture that once you reach that point, the rest is downhill, and you reach the end with a sense of exhilaration and happiness.
