Intel’s methodical approach to process technology advancement and enhancement of its CPU microarchitecture give OEMs a predictable model through which they can plan product roadmaps that include performance increases and cost reductions.
BY AUSTIN HIPES, UNICOM ENGINEERING
Last year, Intel introduced its next-generation microarchitecture codenamed Haswell. While the 1st rollout of this new microarchitecture focused on desktop and notebook platforms, Intel has just recently released new Haswell CPUs specifically designed to address the dual processor server market. This new roll-out of Haswell-based CPUs, the Intel Xeon E5-2600 V3 processors, illustrate Intel’s commitment to pushing performance standards higher and in turn, elevating the level at which its OEM partners must perform (Figure 1).
Of course, marching in lock-step with Intel inevitably pays dividends for its partners as well as the customer base. In other words, it’s safe to assume with many new product launches that performance will increase handily, while the pricing of the upgraded architecture actually becomes more favorable for consumers, offering better performance at the same price point of their previous upgrades.
Key to this formula is Intel’s unique “Tick-Tock” model, which delivers continued innovations in manufacturing process technology and processor microarchitecture in alternating “tick” and “tock” cycles. A “tick” cycle advances manufacturing process technologies to enable new capabilities such as higher performance and greater energy efficiency within a smaller, more capable version of the previous “tock” microarchitecture. The alternating “tock” cycle uses the previous “tick” cycle’s manufacturing process technologies to introduce new innovations in processor microarchitecture to improve energy efficiency and performance, as well as functionality and density of features (Figure 2).
While this provides a roadmap for increased performance, it also helps Intel partners maintain some predictability in their own product cycles as they strive to embed technologies that match the performance standards of Intel’s latest product launch.
More Performance and Better Value
So, what does this mean for customers and the OEMs that support them? To better understand the translation, let’s consider the latest Intel microarchitecture release codenamed Haswell. The E5 2600 V3 processors featured as part of this release offer up to 18 physical cores per CPU. Along with more cores come faster memory and a faster interconnect between the CPUs in the system. This provides substantially more compute power, which will enable 40 GbE to be a practical reality in standard server platforms. This is a tremendous benefit when you consider growing trends like the “Internet of Things” that continually increases network throughput. With more traffic and more systems to process, 40GbE provides the ability to add more capability to systems – rather than adding more servers – to handle this increase in traffic.
E5-2600 V3-based servers also bring a needed increase in performance in non-volatile storage technology with native support for DDR4 NVDIMMs. DDR4 NVDIMMs provide an industry-standard way of storing data in high-speed RAM without the fear of losing the data in the event of a power or node failure. In addition to DDR4 NVDIMM support in new E5-2600 V3-based dual processor server platforms, the performance of SSDs is increasing with the addition of NVMe support, giving multi-lane PCIe access directly to SSD storage. This results in lower latency and provides more bandwidth to a solid state drive than SATA or SAS would, in effect creating multiple tiers of high performance storage depending on what each unique system actually requires. Unlike some previous generations of PCIe SSD storage, NVMe SSDs are offered in hot-swap 2.5” hard drive form factors, as well as traditional PCIe add-in Cards (AICs). In this new 2.5” form factor, OEMs are able to take advantage of the newer, high performance SSD architecture while maintaining high levels of serviceability and drive density typically associated with SAS and SATA drive types.
For customers seeking higher performance, the cost typically becomes more expensive per gigabyte. A logical approach to managing these costs is via a tiered storage model that keeps the most frequently accessed data on the most expensive tier, where fast access is possible, and moves less sensitive data to outer tiers which have reduced performance but lower costs per gigabyte. While the value component improves with each subsequent release, so does the process behind which those upgrades are delivered. By providing customers with the next generation of Intel processors and ensuring the corresponding system upgrades incorporate the latest microarchitecture, Intel delivers a balanced platform that prevents choke points from developing.
Creating New Levels of Efficiency
As new technologies emerge, along with the new microarchitecture, it helps design partners like Unicom Engineering plan the customers’ next transition for increased performance at near the same price, or substantially increased performance over their previous generation of products to keep their solution on the cutting edge .The corollary to this is if customers do not require increased performance, then it is possible to scale them into a lower tier system so there is the potential of paying less for the same performance level they are accustomed to.
In looking at three rapidly-growing markets – storage, information security and communications – each require more capacity and all industries expect to acquire it at a decreasing cost per session, gigabyte of storage, and gigabit of throughput. Having more cores and bandwidth available in a system means each node can have more throughput as a whole, allowing a storage appliance, for example, to handle more directly connected bulk storage.. More CPU cores, more network bandwidth, and more memory bandwidth means customers can go to a higher sequence of either encryption or security transactions. Simply put, each system can perform more work or handle more bandwidth.
Looking specifically at the communications infrastructure, Intel’s customers can do more transcoding, more encryption, and more ostentations with the new Haswell microarchitecture in a single box than they’ve ever done before. They can handle more subscribers, or the same number of subscribers at a higher workload than possible under the previous platform. For roughly the same power, price and physical footprint, they can handle more transactions.
Intel’s Commitment to Partners Runs Deep
Not only is there the ability to choose between greater power and performance, but also the ability to match price points to specific performance needs. For example, if a customer was seeking a brand new architecture, OEMs can recommend they hold off for the appropriate number of months until they can get Intel’s latest and greatest. Plus, as the actual product release draws near, Intel begins to feed more details into the marketplace: 18-24 months out, the projected timing of the new technology cut-in date is known; one year out, it becomes clearer; 6 months usually signals final feature decisions and 3 months until launch, everything is locked down. Thirty days prior to the product launch, all pre-production equipment has been evaluated. By maintaining this consistency in upgrade deployments, Intel OEM partners can better advise customers on what technology investments to make and when.
Intel’s Embedded Alliance is another innovation the company provides to OEM partners in order to maximize the potential of new upgrades and releases. Affording its partners access to all of the products on the Intel Embedded roadmap lets OEMs know that Intel will guarantee availability of those products for at least seven years after product launch. Some customers want an architecture that will be stable for a long time, enabling OEMs to leverage their relationship with Intel to help customers choose products that are going to be available for multiple years. This drives stronger relationships across the distribution chain, and builds trust in Intel’s solutions, even as they continue to drive new levels of architecture performance.
The Haswell E5-2600 V3 CPUs are built on the same Intel 22nm tri-gate transistor technology process as the previous release of E5-2600 V2 Ivy Bridge processors, so the manufacturing process maturity enables the release of new features on a stable platform. Intel makes this possible by adhering to a very predictable schedule that sees the release of the next CPU every 18-24 months. Additionally, the majority of the time that there is a new “Tick” process die shrink, the new model CPUs are able to be installed into the same physical platform as the “Tock” microarchitecture that proceeded them. The motherboards that take V3 CPUs are expected to take future generation “V4 CPUs” with little or no platform modifications required (Figure 3). So, now is the time for OEMs to begin working with customers to evaluate the new architecture that is going to handle two generations of CPUs and is going to be the primary platform architecture for the next 3.5 to 4 years. This is a busy time for OEMs as they simultaneously work with the existing Intel platforms while being cognizant of the soon-to-be-changing microarchitecture.
In many ways, customers and OEM partners move with Intel on a rapidly shifting paradigm. But Intel’s focus on maintaining productive relationships with all members of its deployment chain ensures its performance is always an asset and not a hindrance to supporting evolving requirements for increased productivity at a lower cost threshold.
The Internet of Things (IoT) brings an entirely new dimension to computing and the Internet. IoT provided the theme for Intel’s annual Developers Forum (IDF) this fall in San Francisco. As a solutions leader utilizing Intel products, UNICOM Engineering participates in IDF to keep our clients on the cutting-edge of technological innovation.
The Internet of Things imagines a fully connected world of devices not normally thought of as computers. This world is already coming into being through smartphones and now smartcars capable of communicating maintenance needs with wireless connections. But, this is just the beginning.
Shoes, fitness devices, weather sensors, thermostats, intelligent appliances and other devices still to be imagined will provide a level of interconnectedness seldom dreamed of even in science fiction. UNICOM Engineering looks forward to the challenge of helping our clients develop IoT solutions to meet their business models. IoT devices will allow the collection of data on a micro level, which can then be processed to provide a macro picture. By communicating with cloud services, IoT devices identify trends and allow social connections.
IDF presented more than just the Internet of Things. Intel’s new CPU series, the E5-2600 v3, codenamed Haswell, was introduced as the new Enterprise CPUs. This new series continues the trend of pushing compute and IO up to higher performance levels. CPUs containing up to 18 cores and the addition of DDR4 memory support combine to offer performance levels up to 50% over the previous Sandy Bridge generation.
UNICOM Engineering uses the information gained at events like IDF to assist our clients in transition plans to Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 family of high performance computing, communication platforms and security appliances.

UNICOM Engineering had the unique privilege of spending an afternoon with our closest technology partners, colleagues and customers to network and give back to the community. The annual UNICOM Engineering Golf Classic was held October 7 at The Tribute Golf Course in The Colony. Due to the generosity of our sponsors, our annual networking event was able to raise awareness and over $18,000 to support a few of our favorite charities.
An afternoon of golf intended to thank our partners for their continued support and unrelenting efforts on behalf of our customers became something more. We connected on a very human level and were reminded why we were there thanks to three very charismatic and passionate speakers. By the end of the evening, representatives from the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County, the Will to Live Foundation and Allies in Service had everyone applauding, doing a pushup challenge, sharing a hug and walking away with the desire to give back. Here is a snapshot of what they shared:
Kate Goble from the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County shared a mission of hope and healing for children in need due to abuse and neglect. Their approach to safety, healing and justice brings together all of the necessary agencies in one building—minimizing the burden on the child to share their story and start again. The Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County opened its doors in 1992 and since then has served more than 50,000 abused and neglected children.
John Trautwein, founder of the Will to Live Foundation, shared his very personal story of loss and hope. Following the tragic death of his 15 year old son to suicide, he found himself surrounded by a network of “teammates” that were part of every major up and down in life. Through this realization, he created a foundation that would work with teens to prevent teen suicide by bringing that same level of awareness of their network of teammates that already exists. Through events, sports teams, etc., they share their mission of hope, love and the will to live.
David Whitley from Allies in Service shared their mission to provide jobs, healthcare, education and appropriate housing to our veterans returning from service. He spoke of men and women that have given of their time and lives but yet often struggle to transition back into civilian life. Allies in Service provides mentorship programs and business outreach to help veterans reach their full potential and improve their quality of life. Why is hiring a veteran good business? Veterans have the training, work ethic, and skill your organization depends on—learn more.
UNICOM Engineering was proud to organize the annual Golf Classic and appreciate everyone that was able to attend and support our event.
Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) increasingly turn to appliance platforms to deliver their software applications and streamline lifecycle management. Appliances allow installation of software at a client’s site without utilization of client hardware, thereby avoiding compatibility issues. These pre-integrated, purpose-built, plug-and-play servers include the hardware, application software, operating system and any specialty components needed to deliver applications providing a standalone device for ISV’s to offer end users.
The advantages of the appliance model to product lifecycle management are obvious. The challenge for ISVs comes in finding a partner with the engineering expertise and production capabilities to manufacture and maintain appliance servers throughout an application’s lifecycle. Since designing, integrating and deploying an appliance is not an ISV’s core business, vendors need to find a partner who specializes in the development of appliances. Here are three critical factors to consider:
1. Engineering Control and Manufacturing Quality – ISVs should seek partners with a highly proven record for solution design, systems integration, application management, global logistics, tech support, and maintenance programs. Such partners will execute best-practice processes in these key aspects of developing, manufacturing and servicing appliance platform solutions, integrating all aspects of lifecycle management for the appliance and application. The advantage to the ISV comes from the engineering controls and manufacturing quality that such focused partners offer.
A partner should handle regulatory and certification requirements, branding, packaging and international shipping for import and export. A global supply chain, product testing and evaluation, and software imaging should be available for application lifecycle management. The partner must possess the capability to interact and report to multiple levels of the ISV’s organization, including engineering, operations, product management, and supply managers so the appliance can be optimized, delivered and maintained for long-life operation.
2. Logistics, Tech Support and Training – ISVs must stay focused on client satisfaction and brand loyalty to survive in today’s globally competitive marketplace. Focusing solely on a manufacturing partner loses sight of the logistics and support services necessary for effective lifecycle management. For the appliance model to succeed, it must maintain a robust forward- and reverse-logistics program and support organization to service end users in a timely manner. ISVs need to choose a partner with best-in-class logistics and support models capable of delivering reliably, and support staff to give clients confidence to keep buying.
3. Program Management – Success depends on the product management capabilities of the partner chosen by an ISV. An appliance provider should assign a dedicated, professional account manager to lead a proactive account team to manage your program. An effective partner anticipates needs and looks to avoid problems rather than waiting for the ISV to identify them. The team should be experienced enough to identify and address technical and business issues before they become problematic. The partner should hold program managers accountable for the achievements of their clients.
UNICOM Engineering provides the kind of partner ISVs are looking for to develop appliance hardware solution to ease lifecycle management.

Given the current political climate, dual use parts are the subject of new EU sanctions. The reason for the sanctions is simple: dual use parts, while normally used for civilian purposes, can also have military applications and can be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Because of the current situation in Russia, the EU has placed a ban on exporting military equipment to Russia, and this includes dual use parts.
If you trade in the global marketplace, it’s important to be sure that your shipments are in compliance. Because breach of sanctions is a criminal offense, we wanted to create awareness of this issue before any problems arise. In terms of the products and services that UNICOM Engineering deals with specifically, we believe that our customers should remain unaffected. What the sanctions are specifically saying is this:
– Dual use items to military end users in Russia are prohibited.
– In addition, spare parts for military use items or military end users are prohibited.
– Dual use as defined by the EU in Annex 1 of EC regulation Number 428/2009 states that “This prohibition should not affect the exports of dual-use goods and technology, destined/designated for non-military use or for a non-military end-user.
In the interest of export compliance, it is strongly suggested that shipments of dual use and non-dual use items be separated. As other countries strive for trade compliance, delays in the shipment of dual use parts should be expected. For example, Dutch Customs has announced that all requests for export document approval for shipments containing dual parts will be held. These requests will be forwarded to the Central Service of Import and Export in the Netherlands, and that organization will determine on a case-by-case basis whether or not to issue export documents. As you can imagine, this will result in delays.
These measures taken by the EU are at the forefront of international efforts toward non-proliferation and must adjust as security risks and threats evolve. Regularly holding public consultations and maintaining constant dialogue with industry associations as well as academia and civil society, the European Commission strives to strike a balance between security and competitiveness. You can read the EU’s press release regarding these sanctions here.
UNICOM Engineering will continue to ensure compliance of sanctions and will inform clients of any delays caused by this issue. For a complete list of dual use parts, click here.

UNICOM Engineering is proud to be a growing company. And with the growth of our business, we needed to expand our facilities. Earlier this year, we made the investment to double the size of our Canton manufacturing facility.
The expansion includes additional space in the manufacturing area which will also require additional staff to support the increasing demand on the facility. Breaking down the total budget of the expansion, over two-thirds was invested to improve the facility and the rest was used to purchase new equipment.
All these investments have been made to meet a growing demand we are seeing for post-sale services. Knowing the trend of the industry, the expansion will allow UNICOM Engineering to meet our growing demands and also provide additional capacity for future capital and equipment investments as we continue to grow. The facility improvements will not only help our manufacturing team, but will also benefit our customers by allowing us to increase storage for customer owned materials. Additionally, customers will see benefits from our capital improvements as increased capacity for testing and pack-out operations which will reduce lead times.
With the new expansions, UNICOM Engineering is ready to serve your business, and expand business with our existing customers. If you are ready to find a global deployment and delivery partner, contact UNICOM Engineering at 800-977-1010 or email@example.com. To learn more, visit UNICOM Engineering.
When you think about your computer system, the chances are good that you aren’t thinking in terms of storage technologies like 12Gb/s SAS or 16Gb/s Fiber Channel (FC). You’re probably thinking about your operating system, or your software solution. It has become a trend to rely on cloud-based data solutions, which leads to a lack of attention given to the system’s hardware. Nonetheless, understanding your storage solutions is vital if you want to keep your hardware and software running at its peak potential. Both of these new storage protocols will allow much better match to solid state drives and together can bring amazing performance for IO intensive solutions such as Big Data, data analysis, and high transactional solutions.
SAS storage is nothing new, and a SAS hard drive has long been understood as a reliable, efficient option. What’s changed is the bandwidth: 12 GB/s SAS drives can improve performance and create new performance capabilities for your solution. 12Gb/s SAS is the third generation of the SAS protocol doubling its speed from the previous generation’s 6GB/s and carries over the ability to support SATA drives as well.
For many years, fiber channel (FC) has been the go-to interconnect technology, because it has excellent speed, performance, and extensive expandability and connectivity using Fiber Channel switches. With a 12 GB/s SAS, you get performance somewhere between 8GB/sFC and 16GB/s FC, but for a far less prohibitive cost than 16GB/s FC. In other words, 12GB/s SAS doesn’t knock 16GB/s FC out of the running, but it does provide companies with a cost-effective alternative especially for direct attached soltuions. Based on your solution’s needs, 16GB/s FC storage may be the best solution to maximize productivity, but 12GB/S SAS could be a viable alternative where a little less performance for a significant cost reduction could make it easier to implement. A common trend in storage environments is using tiered storage using SSD for high performance and SAS drives for mid-tier performance, and finally large capacity SATA drives for bulk storage. Both 16GB/s FC and 12GB/s SAS will allow seamless integration of SSD solid state storage, rotational SAS drives, as well as SATA drives together to create an efficient, tiered storage environment.
It’s easy to get bogged down in technical details, like whether it’s better to have 12GB/s SAS or stick with Fiber Channel and go with 16GB/s FC. Rather than just trying to muddle through, it’s smart to join forces with a partner that can help you find the best hardware for your solution and integrate directly into your system. If you are looking for a partner to keep your business ahead of the crowd, no matter what your hardware requirements may be, contact UNICOM Engineering at 800-977-1010 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

This time of year, the skies over Central Texas should be aflutter with millions of monarch butterflies as they head north from Mexico to the cooler climes of Canada for the summer. This extraordinary migration, over approximately 3,000 miles, takes at least three generations of butterflies to complete—each laying millions of eggs along the way.
Then in the fall, one “super generation” (so-called because it alone makes the journey south) makes its way back to the overwintering sites in the transvolcanic mountain ranges of Mexico. Because both north- and south-bound monarchs must pass through Texas, the state has been dubbed “the funnel” by monarch experts.
Amazingly, milkweed is the only plant on which monarchs will lay their eggs, and the only one that monarch caterpillars will eat. Milkweed grows easily here and with little effort, and when paired with the abundant nectar from countless types of native wildflowers, our region provides the ideal recipe to assist the monarch—the official state insect of Texas—on its epic journey. Yet, in recent years, the monarch’s trek has been affected by a dramatic array of forces, including illegal deforestation in Mexico, early freezes on the East Coast and herbicide-based agriculture in the Midwest. In Texas, severe drought, overdevelopment and even roadside mowing have had a major impact, and the monarch’s migration has become so hazardous that its very survival might be at stake. In 2012, the estimated number of monarchs to arrive in their roosting grounds in Mexico reportedly dropped to about three million—down from the estimated one billion just a few years earlier.
Craig Hensley, an environmental educator and park ranger at Guadalupe River State Park in Spring Branch, stresses the impact of habitat loss, genetically-modified crops and “clean farming”—the removal of grassy areas and weeds from around cropland—on depleted butterfly resources. “Talking with fellow naturalists, the story is the same,” says a disheartened Hensley. “There are fewer [butterflies] to be seen. When I see them now, I nearly cheer them onward. It’s becoming too much of a special event as opposed to a time when they were almost an afterthought. I look at the monarch like the passenger pigeon. There was a time when these now-extinct birds literally blotted out the sun in uncountable numbers. Today they’re a distant memory.”
Matt Morris is all too aware of the monarch’s plight as well. Morris manages Zilker Botanical Garden’s Butterfly Trail, which includes roughly 45 gardens that cover about three acres. The winding trails and gardens may appear purely decorative, but there is intent behind every purple passionflower, pipevine, blue porterweed and, of course, the multitude of milkweed—all favorable to help create the next generation of caterpillars.
In 2012, Morris established the garden as a certified Monarch Waystation—a concept created by Monarch Watch, a national outreach and awareness program—which supplies migrating butterflies and caterpillars with the milkweed, flowering plants, shelter and water they need for survival, and educates visitors about how they can help. “These waystations provide the necessities for monarchs to complete their incredible migration,” Morris says. “With habitat loss, pesticide use and weather extremes, these backyard oases are becoming more important not only for monarchs but for other butterflies as well.”
At Zilker, Morris is also part of Monarch Watch’s tagging program, which involves adhering tiny tags with numbered information to a monarch’s wing. Anyone who finds a dead tagged monarch can call the phone number on the tag and provide information about the butterfly’s location. Tracking a monarch’s movement may hold clues about the forces affecting their behavior patterns.
Catalina Aguado Trail is a social worker who lives in South Austin, but for monarch followers, she’s a bit of a celebrity. In the early 1970s, Canadians Fred and Norah Urquhart—creators of the butterfly-tagging concept—hired Trail and her then-husband, Kenneth Brugger, as research assistants to help determine the monarchs’ migratory route. After the team discovered the butterflies’ overwintering colonies in Mexico in 1975, it was Trail’s image that ended up on the cover of National Geographic.
Trail is the last remaining survivor of that team. She has a butterfly-friendly habitat on her one-acre property, but she long ago eschewed any public persona—partly because she was horrified by the hordes of tourists that invaded the butterfly colonies after their discovery, actually took butterflies away in bags and nearly destroyed the area. But with the 2012 release of the 3-D film Flight of the Butterflies—which tells the story of the Urquharts’ decades-long research—combined with the catastrophic drop in butterfly numbers in 2012, Trail has become more visible. Mainly, she wants to encourage homeowners and public land managers to allow open spaces to be more wild and less manicured. “I like bugs. I don’t like pristine grass. I like nature. I like to see all those tiny flowers that you can only see if you go that close to the ground,” Trail says, holding her fingertips a hair’s width from her eyes. “There are so many beautiful flowers there. You almost need a magnifying glass to see them. And there are bugs on them!”
When Trail recalls walking into her first butterfly colony—now a protected sanctuary—almost 40 years ago, and being blanketed by the confetti of fluttering butterflies, she still gets teary-eyed. “That was a fantastic thing that I will never forget,” she says. “Like little waves of orange. I love them. They gave me a thrill back then; they continue to do that.”
Indeed, the story of the monarch is truly thrilling, and should be a wake-up call across the continent. “Monarch butterflies represent one of nature's many amazing miracles,” says Hensley. “The migration of a tiny insect from over two-thirds of the country to one place in Mexico—by butterflies that have never been there—is just an amazing spectacle that we can all enjoy, if only we take the time to observe them. These butterflies connect three countries. What happens in any one of these countries impacts what we see in others.”
With the continued efforts of monarch activists, better attention to the butterfly’s needs and a wider awareness among those who live in the migratory path, perhaps these glorious creatures can once again regain their numbers and rightful place in the sky.
Ways to Help the Monarchs
- Probably the easiest way to make your yard or garden butterfly- and caterpillar-friendly is to plant milkweed. There are dozens of types of milkweed that are beautiful and easy to grow here, but tropical milkweed is the most hardy. Matt Morris at Zilker Botanical Garden emphasizes, though, that it’s not about creating a perfect, manicured space. “You’re going to have to change your mind-set when you plant a butterfly garden,” he says. “It’s going to get chewed up.” For information on planting milkweed, visit wildflower.org
- Choose pollinator-friendly flowering plants, such as sunflowers, blazing star, blue mist flower, buttonbush, lantana, zinnias, butterfly bushes, pentas and verbena.
- Consider providing alternative nectar sources: a butterfly feeding station can be as simple as a plate covered with scraps of melon, orange, bananas and other overripe or rotting fruit—particularly fruit that is orange, red, yellow, blue or purple in color.
- Make water available in a dish or birdbath.
- Avoid using pesticides or over-mowing your lawn.
- Join the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project at mlmp.org or establish a Monarch Waystation at monarchwatch.org/waystations
Local sources for milkweed
These local garden centers offer milkweed, both in seed and starter form. Because milkweed is the monarch caterpillar’s first meal, confirm that it has not been treated with chemical fertilizers.

Columbia University GSAPP
Fall 2009 - Fall 2011
It is crucial to understand now that we are all designers. Every square millimeter of the planet and its terrestrial, aquatic, and climactic systems has been made and remade by human hands. The question becomes, what is your design expertise? The Earth Institute / Columbia GSAPP Forum on the future of the Built Environment explores ideas of sustainable design and the future of the city, drawing from the deep and diverse experience of the Earth Institute and the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. The aim of the forum is to bring together the realms of science and design to address complex questions of environment and development with fresh thinking and a creative approach grounded in research, experimentation, and pilot projects. We will ask how to address sustainability on global, regional, and local scales – with a focus on the role of cities and on ideas that work.


The Simpsons fans were treated to an early glimpse of the upcoming Treehouse Of Horror XXX special at Comic Con on Saturday – and let’s just say we’ve seen some Stranger Things.
Following the announcement that the Netflix smash hit will play a major influence in one of the annual mini horror stories of the show (which will also be the 666th episode ever of the series), those attending the annual fan convention got an insight into what to expect.
The parody, entitled Danger Things, will be set in the 80s with Lisa Simpson taking on the role of their version of Eleven – complete with her iconic spikes shaved off.
Milhouse will be the Will Byers of the piece, and is kidnapped and taken to the mystical Over Under – and Lisa is the one in charge of his rescue mission.
Throw in some cheesy product placement sights, a lot of 80s disco music and some creepy creatures to fight against (which we’re hoping are Kang and Kodos), and you’re onto a winner.
While the full details are yet to be revealed for the special, the team also revealed that there was going to be an homage to The Omen – when Homer trades the boy Marge gives birth to for their baby girl, Maggie (who is certified evil…we totally knew it.)
The promo poster also teased that Selma Bouvier is about to get nasty with one of the aliens in a Shape Of Water rip-off. As you do.
The long-running series – which is now in its 33rd season – has a number of things tricks up its sleeve – with Jason Momoa joining the guest star line up in the upcoming episodes.
They’re also determined not to go soft on their political parodies and jabs at companies despite being bought by their ‘corporate overlords’ Disney.
Instead they’ve threatened that if need be, they’re going to pull the plug on the show.
Let battle commence.
The Simpsons airs on Channel 4 in the UK.


The Fayette County Green Team
Ginger Danz, GREAT TEAM Board Member
The Green Advisory Team aims to reduce Fayetteville’s carbon footprint.
The GREAT (Green Advisory Team) is on a mission. The board meets to generate ideas and action plans for Fayetteville and Oak Hill, with an eye toward Fayette County, to achieve sustainability goals set by the US Mayors Climate Protection Act.
Our ultimate goal is to help city and county governments and residents curb carbon emissions and improve air and water quality.
GREAT has registered Fayetteville with the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, or ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability. ICLEI membership provides community’s the opportunity to use software for determining baseline greenhouse gas emissions.
GREAT will then work with local residents and government to develop a climate action plan to grow the community while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Fayette County Commissioners, and the mayors and town councils of Oak Hill and Fayetteville have agreed to help us gather information and set objectives like transitioning to energy-efficient lighting and fuel-efficient city vehicles. As the first town in West Virginia to join ICLEI, Fayetteville joins 959 cities, towns and counties worldwide.
GREAT members are currently gathering data within the 25840 zip code in order to measure energy use and make recommendations for reducing carbon emissions. We hope Fayetteville will serve as a model for other West Virginia communities.
GREAT was originally founded by Kara Ware and Sue Plumley. Current board members include Sue Plumley, Patty Korn, Hillarie Jones, Doug Arbogast, Ginger Danz, and Mara Petretich. GREAT meetings are held at Gumbo’s in Fayetteville the last Monday of every month at 6:30 pm.

The Guyana Red Cross Society hosted the Caribbean Community Resilience to Disaster Risk (CCRDR) regional Steering Committee meeting during 12-14 January. Partners from Dominica Red Cross, Jamaica Red Cross, Canadian Red Cross, International Federation of Red Cross Red Crescent Societies, the Red Cross DRM Resource Center in Barbados and CIDA met to review work done during the first 8 months of the project, and approve the second year work plan and budget.
The CCRDR project endeavors to impact disaster risk reduction (DRR) programming at regional, state and community levels. At the regional level, the project will research the targeting mechanisms used by CDEMA and civil society organizations and recommend an approach that can be standardized and piloted to determine vulnerable communities. In addition, the project will contribute to and advance a key regional priority: to overcome a lack of consolidated CBDRR knowledge available to both government agencies and civil society organization through the establishment of a Caribbean Disaster Risk Management Resource Centre in Barbados. At the state and community levels, the Red Cross National Societies (Dominica, Jamaica and Guyana) will continue to collaborate with National Disaster Management Agencies (NDMAs) and other partners in the implementation of the community activities.
Although the project had a late start, the Guyana Red Cross Society began implementation of community disaster risk reduction activities in 5 communities in Regions 5 and 6; namely Broken-Water Land, Straatcampbell-Chance, Perth, Mara and Baracara. These communities were selected using a community selection tool, which rated various indicators of vulnerability, in collaboration with the Civil Defense Commission and the Ministry of Local Government. Although implementation is at various stages in each community, activities include facilitating of Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (VCAs), training of community disaster response teams, facilitating the developments of community (linked to regional and national) and family disaster preparedness and response plans, and implementation of a community risk reduction micro-project.
A key characteristic of this project is the implementation of a monitoring and evaluation tool, in order to assess the level of impact of the activities on the community. The tool has been developed in collaboration with the John Hopkins University.
Partners at this meeting also observed a simulation exercise carried out in the community of Mara, located on the East Bank Berbice River. The community of Mara has recently completed the community disaster response team training, and used the simulation to test their knowledge and capacity to respond within their

Q: We have a 30-foot-tall lemon tree planted in late 2006. This tree produces large fruit, averaging 15 ounces to more than a pound. I consider this tree to be perpetual as it flowers fruit and maintains a crop in development at the same time. My question is, do we pick the ripe fruit or let them fall as they may?
Q: Once again I had a fairly good crop of tomatoes this year. One problem, though, a lot of ripe tomatoes are disappearing overnight. Are gray rats known for foraging and consuming garden produce? I spotted one about a week ago going over a side wall in my yard.
Q: I am trying to grow an avocado tree. I have it in a container, and it’s now 22 inches tall. When is the best time to transplant, and what is the best way to take care of it in our desert?
Q: I would like to grow my own rhubarb. Could you tell me where I can find the plant or the bulb, and when would be a good season to start?
Q: Last year, we bought a Meyer lemon and planted it in a large pot. We got more than 30 lemons off this little tree. I noticed a lot of sap near the base of the tree, then a bunch of furry little things on the trunk and some branches. They scrape off easily. I’m guessing they are the cause of the sap.
Q: Two years ago I planted Thompson seedless grapes. The first two years there were no grapes, and I did not expect any fruit. This year, there are leaves and no fruit. They were pruned the same way as my red seedless grapes, which were very prolific. Is there something special that I must do to make the vine produce?
Q: This year has been the worst for weeds and grass coming up through the rocks. I’ve tried Bayer Advanced all-in-one concentrate that acted like a fertilizer and strengthened their growth. I got Roundup weed and grass killer concentrate. Two weeks later and the grass is coming up like I planted it. What do you suggest I use to spray on this grass to kill it?
Q: Could you provide me with a copy of the mulch trial you conducted on fruit trees several years ago? You randomly applied mulch to different fruit trees and grew some without mulch and had some remarkable results.
Q: During the first year with my apricot tree, I sprayed it with soapy water to control aphids. Every day I check the leaves, but the apids never stop. Is this good a spray to use?
Q: I was reading up on controlling the leaf-footed plant bugs on my pistachio and almond trees and came across a recommendation by the University of California to use a pesticide containing bifenthrin. I see some Ortho products for lawn and garden contain bifenthrin. Is this a pyrethrin or something similar like you are recommending? Could this be used to spray the almond and pistachio every two to three weeks until it gets hot?

New Delhi: A woman who was attending her brother's wedding was not to pleased when the bride wanted a black flower girl.
Apparently the racist woman wanted her daughter to be the flower girl and complained to her sister-in-law that the flower girl would not match the wedding due to her hair.
The woman did not hold good views about black hairstyles and said they looked out of place, yet she herself turned up with braids on the wedding day of her sister-in-law.
Ironically, the bride thought of uploading her picture in on a Facebook wedding shaming group. She wrote: ‘The night before the wedding, my sister-in-law decides that she’ll do her hair in “box” braids because if the flower girl can, she can too (flower girl was not wearing them).’
The post now is deleted. But users had taken the screenshot by then and called the woman out for her actions.
She posted the wedding images with the caption, "So when my husband and I got married, my sister-in-law complained about the fact that I was going to have two flower girls.
The main problem was that her daughter and herself would not be the centre of attention.
She knew the other flower girl was black and kept telling me her hair would not match and would look bad in the photos (this was not in the presence of the little girl, if it was I would’ve ripped her a new one."
The now married woman said that she was pleased to find that the racist woman's daughter and the flower girl are hanging out together and that her mother's actions did not get into her.
On the post she further wrote that while the racist woman has often said that spending on weddings is dumb and is a waste. However, during the wedding reception, she announced that she and her husband would have a wedding next year to celebrate their twelfth anniversary.
She ended the post calling out her hypocrisy and said she would upload pictures of the event.

The Promise, Damon Galgut
As one participant in yesterday's discussion put it - the story of a crumbling family, in a crumbling society, The Promise tells the tale, in particular, of three siblings, Anton, Astrid and Amor, their parents and extended family, against the backdrop of the ending of apartheid in South Africa.
From a white farming family, the three sibling's story is told in a series of deaths and the ramifications of each of those on them, and a long-standing promise to the black maid and lifelong companion of them all - Salome. Starting with the death of their mother, and her deathbed return to her Jewish faith, the ructions that this, and the promise she extracts from her husband to give Salome the house and land that she lives on (pointed echo here with the current Australian Voice discussions), start out a story that then moves onwards in time, in a meandering roundabout sort of manner. Next up is their father, his attachment to a Christian Minister and the religion that has some feeling of a cult about it, the father's subsequent death and brother Anton's inheriting of the farm. But Anton's troubled and tortured and never settles, whilst middle child Astrid marries in haste, has kids, and strives for something that she can't describe. Meanwhile younger sister Amor can no longer stomach what she sees as the morally bankrupt, unquestioning nature of the family and breaks away, building a life that's based on her own hardwork and sacrifice, not her inheritance. Somehow though, this is, in itself, oddly morally ambiguous, despite her good works, she's as lonely, disconnected and empty as her other siblings.
Galgut's writing, and powers of observation are acute in this novel, as is his willingness to call out the white gaze. He uses a stream of conscious approach that takes its directional cues from small observations and happenings, moving the story from one viewpoint to another, gently but unrelentingly probing the easy view, revealing the truth behind the things we know and what we're all prepared to say.
Disturbing on one level, engaging and, once you adjust to the methodology behind the writing, and the printed styling (no grammatical marks for example), absolutely enthralling.
One that made the vast majority of the participants in the discussion very keen to seek out further work by the same author.
The Promise , winner of the 2021 Booker Prize, charts the crash and burn of a white South African family, living on a farm outside Pretoria. The Swarts are gathering for Ma's funeral. The younger generation, Anton and Amor, detest everything the family stand for -- not least the failed promise to the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life. After years of service, Salome was promised her own house, her own land... yet somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.
The narrator's eye shifts and blinks: moving fluidly between characters, flying into their dreams; deliciously lethal in its observation. And as the country moves from old deep divisions to its new so-called fairer society, the lost promise of more than just one family hovers behind the novel's title.
In this story of a diminished family, sharp and tender emotional truths hit home. Confident, deft and quietly powerful, The Promise is literary fiction at its finest.

ROBBINSVILLE -- For the third time in a row, township council meetings have become heated, with council members and township officials sparring over ethical issues and appearances of impropriety.
Most recently, resident Regina Arcuri asked council members and the township attorney why some members of the governing body were scrutinized for their votes but others weren't.
Arcuri criticized the township's $300 payment to an affordable housing attorney earlier this month for his advice about whether two council members had a conflict of interest by voting on projects for a developer since their part-time employer contracts with that developer.
She also brought up a December 2007 bill payment list where another council member voted on a payment to her own business. Arcuri asked why no one had pointed that out.
"Everything is applied equally. Each councilperson has the responsibility to look through everything," even if a bill list is dozens of pages long, said Township Attorney Mark Roselli, who told Arcuri she was grandstanding.
"I'm not grandstanding. I'm a resident. ... I have a bill list here, and I'm asking for an explanation," Arcuri responded, her voice rising.
Council President Chris Ciaccio Friday explained the reference to a bill from December, saying she overlooked a payment to her business, Tony's Farm & Garden Center on Route 130, and accidentally voted on the item.
"I think it's just an oversight that was blown out of proportion. It's a resident who is trying to find fault with our government; it was a troublemaker that brought this up. All five of our members have the highest integrity," said Ciaccio, adding she would amend her December vote.
The $171.93 bill for Christmas wreaths for the township was paid last Dec. 21, and was part of a 37-page bill list, said Michele Auletta, the township clerk. Auletta said records show it was the only time Ciaccio voted on a bill for her business since coming on council on July 1, 2007.
Another heated discussion took place at the Sept. 25 council meeting, when Councilman David Boyne questioned whether it was ethical that Councilwoman Sonja R. Walter did not disclose that her employer, Piazza & Associates, has had contracts with the developer of Town Center, Sharbell Development Corporation, for two years.
Council Vice President Bill Lesniak became part of the discussion because he also works part time for Piazza & Associates, and his brother-in-law is Frank Piazza, the owner of the affordable-housing consulting firm.
On Oct. 9 Mayor Dave Fried discussed the legal memo from affordable housing attorney Edwin Schmierer, who wrote that Walter's and Lesniak's affiliation with Piazza & Associated had the potential to be construed as conflict of interest.
Both Walter and Lesniak, who serve as liaisons to the affordable housing committee and planning board respectively, have agreed to recuse themselves from votes regarding Sharbell.
On Thursday, Arcuri questioned why the legal memo wasn't mentioned as an agenda item at the Oct. 9 meeting, and why Fried waited until after the two public discussion periods to bring it up.
Fried said he could discuss anything he wanted at the meeting, and she and other residents had the opportunity to go to the following council meeting to discuss the matter. He has said the outside legal opinion was warranted because there could be a potential for litigation.
In the middle of Thursday's public discussion, where people were interrupting each other and Ciaccio banged her gavel a few times to restore order, Walter briefly left the room.
"I could not sit there any longer. The meeting was growing out of control," said Walter, who had remained quiet during public participation.
"The environment of council meetings has become far too aggressive, far too intimidating. (Residents) don't deserve to be treated with that lack of respect," said Walter, adding she is going to recommend the township consider having a local ethics committee to look into issues.
Roselli, the Robbinsville attorney, said Friday the difference between Ciaccio unintentionally voting on the bill and Walter and Lesniak voting on past Sharbell projects is that they knew their employer had contracts with the town's biggest developer, and that that could cause an appearance of impropriety.
"It is not even an apples to oranges comparison," Roselli said about Arcuri's comments. "It's apples to avocados."
