This past weekend, the Oredigger track and field team went up north to Boulder to compete in the Colorado Invitational hosted by CU, putting in a good showing and returning to Golden with a couple of podium finishes.
Another year, another tournament that epitomizes the name 'March Madness'. The seventh seeded Connecticut Huskies defeated the number eight seed Kentucky Wildcats 60-54 in one of the more improbable tournament final matchups to date, claiming their third national championship in the past ten years and fourth overall. So how did it happen that these two teams played for it all last Monday night? What transpired along the way that allowed these schools, that were close to not even making the tournament only a few weeks prior, suddenly go as far as they did? Simply put: March Madness.
The Colorado School of Mines golf team headed to Goodyear, Arizona on Monday and Tuesday for the Mustang Intercollegiate golf tournament. After the first day of competition, and two rounds of play, the Orediggers were in seventeenth place. After the second day, the Orediggers placed thirteenth.
There are many interesting clubs at Mines which span a wide variety of activities and one of the most impressive is the Club Hockey team. Founded in 1995 and currently participating in the Division III American Collegiate Hockey Association, the team has provided a great opportunity for hockey players at Mines looking to play at a competitive level without the sometimes overwhelming pressure of Division I teams.
For those who have missed the recent controversy, Undergraduate Student Government (USG) voted unanimously to increase the Associated Student Fee (AS Fee) over the unanimous objection of the Graduate Student Government (GSG) on March 17th. This polarizing vote has soured intergovernmental relations and drawn significant criticism to USG. Backlash from this criticism sparked finger-pointing by representatives of USG and Mines Activity Council (MAC). These representatives accuse GSG of obstructing extra-curricular activities and ignoring student life on campus.
Seventy-one percent of the Earth's crust is covered by ocean. According to NOAA, "more than 95 percent of the underwater world remains unexplored." In other words, seventy percent of the planet could hold vast, untapped mineral resources. As technology improves, humankind's ability to access these resources increases as well. Soon, the majority of mining may be done, not on land as today, but far below the sea.

After 5 rounds of the Junior Reps the Dragons and Steelers are going great in S.G. Ball. Dragons are in 4th position and the Steelers are in 5th. Both teams are expecting wins this weekend playing Norths and Western Australia respectively consolidating their positions in the top 8. The week after they will play each other at Kograh in what will look like a battle for a top 4 birth.
HM in both St George and Illawarra are way of the pace and will both finish in the bottom half of the draw short of a minor miracle.
Steelers Matt's side is in 6th with a 3 and 2 record they have a bye then play 13th 15th and 10th on the ladder.

I stand corrected i was looking at the wrong ladder.
AyiosYiorgos and George Dragon like this.
Dragons SG Ball team were defeated by the Bears 16 - 4.
Our try acores by Isaac Morris.
Steelers HM had the bye.
What position does Tyrell Sloane play?
Wing, but these 4 try's were against very inferior opposition, the Pirates are a really a development team.
Jayden Sullivan, the Feagai boys and Aaron Shoupp are one's to really keep an eye on.

Q: Survey form automatic slider randomization I'm trying to figure out a way to automatically randomize slider positions (type range) when I come across them on a webpage (mostly on web survey forms like Qualtrics or Surveymonkey). I would like to add this slider randomization to an already-existing autofill that I demonstrated below. But first, here are a couple examples of the type of sliders I would like to automate (with CSS/HTML):

&

Currently, I'm using the following script to randomly autofill survey forms on page load (radio buttons, text fields, etc). I would like to add slider randomization in the same vein to this script:
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
        // Save a random number
        var modifier = Math.floor(Math.random() * 9000000);

        // Create a fake user data
        var user = {
            pass : modifier + "",
            mail : modifier + '@Example.com'
        };

        // Array to save data
        var save_data = [];

        // Check window for tags
        function check(win, tagName) {
            try {
                // Get tags
                tagName = win.document.getElementsByTagName(tagName)
            } catch (e) {
                // Not found - Empty array
                tagName = []
            }

            // For each tag
            for (i = 0; i < tagName.length; i++) {

                // This tag
                var tag = tagName[i];

                // Exclude read-only or desabled
                if (tag.readOnly || tag.disabled) continue;

                // Get tag values
                var name = tag.name;
                var type = tag.type;
                var value = tag.value;

                // If Check box
                if ('checkbox' == type){
                    tag.checked = Math.random() > .5;
                }
                // If password
                else if ('password' == type){
                    value = user.pass;
                    // Update tag value
                    tag.value = value;
                }
                // If text
                else if ('text' == type) {
                    // If mail
                    if(name.match(/mail/i)){
                        value = user.mail;
                    }
                    // Update tag value
                    tag.value = value;
                }
                // If radio
                else if ('radio' == type) {
                    // If data don't exist
                    if (!save_data[name]) {
                        save_data[name] = 1;
                    }else{
                        save_data[name] ++;
                    }
                    // Check it with probabilities (depending on the length)
                    tag.checked = Math.random() < (1 / save_data[name]);
                }
                // If select
                else if (type.match(/^select/)){
                    // Set a random options
                    tag.selectedIndex = Math.random() * (tag.options.length - 1) + 1;
                }
            }
            // Try to set focus to the input
            if (tag) try {
                tag.focus()
            } catch (e) {}
        }

        function recursive(win) {
            check(win, 'password');
            check(win, 'select');
            check(win, 'input');

            // For each frame on page
            for (var i = 0; i < win.frames.length; i++) {
                // Check all frames inside
                recursive(win.frames[i])
            }
        }
        recursive(window);
    }());

Since I know that sliders are of the input type range, my added code would need to start with something that looks like this:
else if ('range' == type) {

                    if (!save_data[name]) {
                        save_data[name] = 1;
                    }else{
                        save_data[name] ++;
                    }

                    tag.checked = Math.random() < (1 / save_data[name]);
                }

As you can see, I am basing this code off the radio button portion of the script. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work, and I am currently unable to find the syntax for how to select a new slider position or initiate the movement of a slider. I assume it works differently than a clickable check box or radio button. I know that sliders have ranges generally specified in the CSS/HTML, so this will obviously need to be accoutned for. Any and all help would be absolutely wonderful. Thanks in advance.

A: From w3school:

Change the value of a slider control:
document.getElementById("myRange").value = "75";

Tweaked it a bit to make it random (if your input range is between 0 and 100):
document.getElementById("myRange").value = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);

Meteoroids are found in space while meteors are in Earth's atmosphere and meteorites are found on ground.
The word meteor comes from a Greek word that means suspended in the air.
Meteoroids vary in size; they can be a small as a grain of sand or as big as a small automobile!
When a meteoroid measures greater than 10 meters in diameter it is called an asteroid.
Meteorites are actually pieces of rock and debris that fall from asteroids, comets and moons. These are fragments and particles that have been caused by collisions.
Although meteors have existed since ancient times, they were not believed to be from our Solar System until 1833.
When meteoroids hit earth's atmosphere, they burn becoming smaller in size seen as shooting stars. Chunks of meteoroids that do not fully burn on Earth's atmosphere fall to Earth called meteorites.
Meteorites are not necessarily hot when they reach the Earth. In fact, many meteorites are found with frost on them. A meteorite has been in the near-absolute zero temperature of space for billions of years, so the interior of it is very cold.
Meteors can become visible as high as 120 kilometers above Earth. Meteors can give off various colors when they burn which is associated with their composition.
Meteors that burn brighter than usual are called fireballs. Most fireballs go unseen because they occur over the ocean or during daylight hours.
The appearance of a number of meteors occurring in the same part of the sky over a period of time is called "meteor shower".
Many meteor showers are associated with comets, which leave behind debris as they orbit through the solar system. Showers occur when Earth's orbit crosses the path of a comet's orbit.
Meteoroid debris lands on Earth every day! However, it usually lands in the sea. There are millions of meteors in the Earth's atmosphere every day.
If a meteor produces a sound called a sonic boom, it is typically heard seconds after the meteor becomes visible.
Most meteorites are one of three types: stony, stony-iron, or iron. An iron or stony iron was close to the core of an asteroid, while a stony object was closer to the surface.
Large meteorites sometimes land on other planets besides earth, moons and asteroids. The impact causes intense damage forming craters.
Amazingly when a meteoroid hits the atmosphere of the Earth, they can be travelling as fast as 130,000 mph (209,215 km).
The length of the light trail seen depends on the meteoroids elements and dimension. The trail can last a few seconds to 30 minutes.
Amazingly on average, 33 metric tons of meteoroids hit Earth every day, the vast majority of which harmlessly burns up high in the atmosphere, never making it to the ground.
A rocky meteoroid needs to be larger than 25 m before it is likely to make it through the earth's atmosphere and cause any damage. It needs to be larger than a kilometer or two before there will be any global effects.
The largest Meteorite found on Earth was discovered in Namibia, Africa in 1920 which was named Hoba. The meteorite measures 2.7m wide, 2.7m deep, 0.9 m high weighing 60 tons! Amazingly it left no crater at all as earth's atmosphere slowed it to the point of terminal velocity. It has been declared a National Monument and is one of the rare meteorites that is also part of a tourist site. It possibly fell about 80,000 years ago. It is mostly iron, with some nickel and other trace elements.
Certain meteorites have crystalline pattern called Widmanstätten pattern that forms only in outer space and cannot be duplicated here on earth.
Most scientists believe that a colossal 8-mile-long meteor crashed into earth 65 million years ago causing devastating changes to the earth and climate resulting in extinction of dinosaurs. It created a dust cloud so huge, it blocked out sunlight for up to a year.
Excavation made by the researchers south of Cairo found strings of iron beads that they dated to an era thousands of years before Egypt's Iron Age. It was concluded that the ancient Egyptians used these as jewelry and the iron came from meteorites.
Meteoroids often cause damage to satellites, space craft and space probes too.
There have only been two confirmed cases of humans being hit by a meteorite. Ann Hodges was the first person to be hit by a meteorite in 1954. Statistically, there is a better chance of getting hit by a tornado, a bolt of lightning and a hurricane all at the same time.
Meteorites that fell to Earth during a meteor shower in July of 2011 have been confirmed to be from Mars which were discovered in Morocco.
Satellites are programmed to avoid meteorites so that they don't get hit and destroyed. Of over 8,000 satellites orbiting the Earth, only one has ever been hit and destroyed by a meteorite.
Meteorites may be responsible for life beginning on the earth. Before life developed on earth, meteorites that fell on the earth brought reduced phosphorus. This allowed oxidation to phosphates, which provided a mechanism for the generation of DNA and RNA, a precursor for life on earth.
Russia has a cache of trillions of dollars' worth of industrial grade meteor crater diamonds that are twice as hard as jewelry grade ones.
An ancient statue that was recovered by a Nazi expedition to Tibet in the 1930s was originally carved from a highly valuable Chinga meteorite, which crashed about 15,000 years ago.
Amazingly on March 17, 2013 a meteor impacted the Moon, creating an explosion visible to the naked eye from Earth.
There's a town in Kentucky that was built inside a 3 mile wide meteorite crater. This is the only town in US built entirely inside a crater.
The Allende Meteorite fell to Earth in a fireball on February 8, 1969. It was originally about the size of a car, and pieces were strewn across the Mexican state of Chihuahua. It has become one of the most-studied meteorites of all time dating back to the formation of the Sun and Planets 4.6 Billion Years ago.
The Willamette Meteorite is the largest meteorite ever found in the United States at 15.5 tons and stands ten feet tall. It is a pitted iron meteorite which is believed to be the remains of the iron core of a planet destroyed in a collision billions of years ago. It landed around 1,000 years ago and was discovered by Westerners in 1902.


The lovable horse that was injured when it fell from a moving trailer onto Interstate 75 in November truly has proven that miracles do happen.
Teddy Bear Highway is running and rolling in the dirt these days – huge accomplishments just four months after he was rescued by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office after falling from a moving trailer onto Interstate 75 and suffering serious injuries.
Dubbed Teddy Bear Highway, the friendly horse that initially was rescued by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office near Micanopy, was caught on video recently rolling in the dirt in a large fenced-in before nuzzling the camera. The video was shot at Highway's home, the DreamCatcher Horse Ranch Rescue Center, in Clermont.
And if that's not enough, after surviving a highly risky surgery in December, Highway has become a social media star, has his own manager and is in training to be become a therapy horse.
Fans of Teddy Bear Highway will remember that after being rescued from the busy I-75 on Nov. 30, he was rushed to Springhill Equine Veterinary Clinic for treatment and then underwent knee surgery at the Equine Medical Center of Ocala, where he also was treated for road rash, bruises, etc. Vets caring for the gentle animal, now also known as Highway the I-75 Miracle Horse, made it quite clear that he was facing a long road to recovery.
Teddy Bear Highway is enjoying a new lease on life after suffering serious injuries on Interstate 75 in November. He was being taken to be euthanized when he fell from a moving trailer near Micanopy.
That proved to be true in December when Highway was rushed back to the Equine Medical Center for another round of surgery when his knee quickly became very painful and hot.
Veterinarians removed about five inches of the damaged extensor tendon that ran down Highway's leg in front of the injured knee because it was too damaged and infected to heal. And they also found small pieces of gravel deep inside the injury during the procedure that carried odds stacked highly against Highway's survival.
Teddy Bear Highway underwent risky emergency surgery in December to have five inches of the damaged extensor tendon in front of his injured front left knee removed.
"Everything was then flushed thoroughly and a drain tube was placed before stitching him up," a Facebook post read.
Highway, with a large incision about 10 inches long, was put on antibiotics and pain meds and watched closely throughout the night. And the following afternoon the good news his thousands of fans had been waiting to hear came via social media – the equine clinic's staff had changed Highway's bandage and a drain that was inserted in his leg looked good.
Teddy Bear Highway is shown after being rescued from a busy Interstate 75 in November, left, and recently enjoying some grazing time as he continues to recover from the injuries he received after falling from a moving trailer onto the interstate.
"He is in good spirits and they are reducing his pain meds," the post read about the highly popular horse, who actually was on the way to be euthanized when he fell from the moving trailer.
Throughout Highway's ordeal, fans across the globe have watched his progress via Facebook and other forms of social media. A fundraiser on Facebook started by Loran Elise Wheatley at the rescue and Shannon Beach of the veterinary clinic raised $5,052. The clinic also set up a GoFundMe account that brought in $8,879 in two days. And the rescue launched a site selling T-shirts that read, "Love Heals, Team-Highway." Click HERE to learn more about that effort.
These days, Highway is living the good life at the DreamCatcher Horse Rescue and is well on his way to becoming a therapy horse.
He's featured on his own Facebook page (click HERE) even has Wheatley as his personal manager, according to her Facebook page.
Teddy Bear Highway and his handler, Loran Elise Wheatley, of the DreamCatcher Horse Ranch Rescue Center, paid a visit recently to the residents of the Orchid Heights Gracious Retirement Living facility in Clermont.
Last month, Highway took his first field trip, a visit to the Orchid Heights Gracious Retirement Living facility in Clermont.
A group from the facility had visited him after he came home from his December surgery and had been talking nonstop about how much they loved him. So the decision was made to surprise them with a visit from their new friend.
Highway also made a second successful appearance bright and early on Saturday, March 30 during a meet-and-greet at Tack Shack of Ocala's horsey yard sale.
He drew quite a crowd that brought plenty of carrots, apples and other treats for him. And many of the visitors – some drove for hours just to meet the celebrity horse – brought items that were sold to raise money for Highway's continuing care.
Teddy Bear Highway wowed the crowd at Tack Shack of Ocala this past Saturday.
Teddy Bear Highway, also known as Highway the I-75 Miracle Horse, has become quite the social media star, with fans following his recovery across the globe.


To listen to Clint Nelson speak about his performance at the Black Hills Stock Show Ranch Rodeo, you'd be certain he fumbled around through the whole ranch rodeo, but to watch it was another thing altogether. As a member of the winning team, Nelson was where he needed to be when he needed to, getting the job done as efficiently as possible– something that stood out to the judges.
"The top hand, in my opinion, can do whatever needs to be done to make whatever event they're in happen and let them win. You can tell the guys that know what they're doing and when they need to do it," said one of two judges who will remain anonymous. He judges the event on a semi-regular basis.
The McPherson Auction #2 team ended second in the preliminary round of the ranch rodeo Jan. 29, which paid $1,500 and qualified Nelson and crew to move on to the finals round that evening.
"I've competed at the ranch rodeo for four or five years, but this is the first time I've been on this team before," Nelson said. "I've won the 2017 Central States Fair rodeo with Brent and Tanner McInerney, but this is the first year Marty McPherson was on the team."
The team, sponsored by McPherson's uncle, came out of the game winning the first event of the finals, Blake's trailer loading, with a :56.58. Nelson said he was somewhat surprised they took the win in the event, which required members to unload four horses to rope two teams and load them into the trailer, all while another team attempts the same.
"We had to load two steers, one in the front, one in the back. Tanner can get on his horse in the trailer, and by the time I was on my horse, he had one roped, hazed it in, and had the gate shut, then here comes Brent with the next steer," Nelson said. "I was kind of the one they put in danger's way— I'm a brute— so the steer starting going in the trailer, and the rope was around my waist. I told Brent just to go, keep kicking. There was just enough rope to slide around me, and he went in."
In rope, mug, and tie, in which team members sort out two numbered steers, roped and mug them down, and tie three legs, McPherson #2 placed second with a 35.27 second performance. Nelson rode a borrowed horse throughout the event since his horse sustained an injury, and the two weren't completely used to one another.
"I roped my steer, and bay horse wanted to go left, and I wanted to go right," Nelson said. "I lost my rope and the steer I had roped had tied himself to the other steer. I had to wait for those two steers to come untangled, and the other guys had the other steer doctored and loaded."
Nelson said head, heel, and brand was "nothing special" and the team did pull fifth place, but Nelson's quick thinking is part of the reason he stood out as a top hand contender. "Marty and Tanner were having a little trouble getting the steer laid down, and all the ropes had to be off," he said. "I ended up getting ropes off their steer, took a wrap on my horn, and took the head rope off of ours while he ran the branding iron back."
At 6'5" and 220 lbs., an uncommon but not unheard of size for bronc riders, Nelson put up a fight to stay on his Burch horse in the bronc riding.
"I got a pretty nice little horse. It kind of come down the wire with two teams, and I damn near got bucked off, but I got sat back down and made it through. It wasn't pretty," he said.
His sixth-place bronc ride was part of what edged out their win over Promiseland's 10th place bronc ride. Promiseland ended second in the ranch rodeo.
"In the end, to win it, you just about have to ride the bronc," the anonymous judge said. "There's been some people that have been in the lead in the past, but got bucked off in the bronc riding. In Clint's case, he made a damn good bronc ride. He just did. There were a lot of other guys who do that, too, but you can tell the ones who stand out."
The 26-year-old gets practical ranch rodeo practice on the family's ranch near Philip, South Dakota, where they run 500 to 600 calves through the winter in addition to their mother cows with Nelson's dad and uncle. He also puts on jackpots through the summer and leases steers out.
"We don't have enough ground for me to grow a cow herd a bunch more, so I keep steers on a smaller lot," he said. "I enjoy it. I like going and helping in some ropings; it's fun to watch the kids show up and compete."
Nelson competes on the bull-dogging circuit, even making an appearance at The American preliminaries this year. His usual stage is generally amateur rodeos throughout South Dakota.

Massimo Troisi
Comedy Auteur
by Mark Jenkins June 24th, 2005 August 29th, 2020
TO JULY 6
When Massimo Troisi appeared as the title character in 1994's Il Postino, few American filmgoers knew that the Italian actor had been directing, co-writing, and starring in romantic comedies for almost 15 years. Suffering from the heart ailment that killed him shortly after Il Postino wrapped, Troisi looked particularly vulnerable in that film. But even in his more robust early days, the actor specialized in men confounded by love. This character first came to the big screen in his 1981 directorial debut, I'm Starting From Three. Troisi plays Gaetano, who leaves Naples for Florence; there's a bit of north-south culture clash, but most of the friction is between Gaetano and his new girlfriend, who proposes an open relationship. In I Thought It Was Love (pictured), Troisi is a Naples restaurateur who's happy with his beautiful fiancée— until the wedding date looms. Set in the 1920s, The Ways of the Lord Are Limited is the tale of a barber whose legs suddenly stop working after his girlfriend leaves him. Also included is the series is Nothing Left to Do but Cry, a historical farce Troisi made in collaboration with the dreaded Roberto Benigni. The series runs through Wednesday, July 6 (see Showtimes for a weekly schedule), at the American Film Institute's Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring. $8.50. (301) 495-6700.

Closure of Consumers Energy plant marks the end of an era

The Weadock plant, on the right, is scheduled for retirement in April, after 76 years in operation. Consumers is shuttering coal-fired plants as it moved toward natural gas and renewable energy generation.

Stop to reflect on any number of experiences in your life, and coal most likely played a silent but essential role in it.
Coal has been the main source of fuel for power plants for as long as we've had them. These plants keep the lights on at schools, jobs, homes, weddings, hospitals.
On top of that, they're really cool to look at. So I couldn't turn down a chance to tour one this past weekend in Hampton Township, near Bay City, where Consumers Energy Co. opened the doors of its J.C. Weadock coal-fired generating plant to the public. Named for an early president and lawyer who helped incorporate the company in 1910, the plant has been operating since 1940; it will push out its last kilowatt in April. The utility will shut two other plants next month as well, leaving it with just two coal plants in operation.
I went with my uncle, who is just as easily gripped with fascination by such things. On the bus taking us inside the complex were people whose fathers had worked at the plant. One guy talked about how as a boy he had free rein to run around the place and would go on top of the roof to look out. Others were locals who, despite having looked at this complex their whole lives, were getting their first and only look inside it, just weeks before its final run. These plants are central to everyone's lives, and yet few of us have ever seen the inside of one.
Of course, they're also dirty and represent a way of thinking whose time is past due. Within the plant there are eight power-generating units, each with its own turbine. Of those eight, only two are operational, the others having been shut down in 1980 as the country started to get serious about emissions. Our tour guide said, until then, the stacks were allowed to puff out pure black smoke unfettered by any scrubbing technology.
The smell of coal came with the first step inside the place. I couldn't get enough of it. It smells thoroughly industro-mechanical, like an auto shop or factory does because of all the oils and chemicals. And yet coal is compressed vegetation, not synthetic or refined at all.
Part of this appreciation comes from nostalgia. I briefly worked at a 1950s-era coal power plant near St. Clair during a summer break from college. I worked midnights sweeping coal dust wearing nothing more than one of those paper dust masks found at hardware stores. It was a gothic nightmare of a place and I loved it. It was a terrible job, paying just $6 an hour, but the sights and sounds were mesmerizing. (Nearly all the workers on this crew, I should note, were high on marijuana at all times and spent half the nights in their own personal hiding spots, sleeping on beds made of worker uniforms. The utility fired the contractor company a few weeks after my stint was over.)
The smell took me back, as did the unending pipes, iron control wheels, steel-grating catwalks and just mammoth metal structures everywhere you look. The deeper in you go and the more you feel like you're inside an engine.
The tour guides, both workers at the place, pointed out eight-story tall bunkers that funnel coal down to pulverizers. The pulverizers grind the coal into the consistency of talcum powder. This powder is what's burned to produce the steam that turns the energy-generating turbines. This is easy enough to imagine. But the scale of the equipment needed to do it is so large that at any given moment in the plant all you can see is one part of one of the structures that represents just one of these steps. It only takes a day and a half to burn through the eight stories worth of coal in those bunkers.
The guides were kind enough to take us separately from the rest of the tour group down to a lower level where we could see a pulverizer. A huge fan, inside an adjacent structure, sucks the coal dust out of the pulverizer and sends it off to be burned in a furnace. Incredibly, most of the equipment in this place is original. Even big gauges on control panels are still going after 76 years.
Think, all you business owners out there, about the volume of stuff — be it physical or of the information variety — you manage day in and day out. Now think about how the stuff of this plant is brought in by the train carload-full and by freighters longer than most buildings in downtown Detroit are tall. Four trains arrive every week, and it takes 10 hours to unload up to 130 cars. The rail cars are turned upside down by dumpers to empty the coal.
Then it gets pulverized and torched. How cool is that? It's definitely progress that these great smoky machines are going away. But there's nothing wrong with gawking at them in wonder in the meantime. If you get the chance, I recommend taking it because they'll be gone before we know it.
Evidence of this shift could be seen on our way there. I decided the night before to take a more interesting country path across the Thumb to get to Bay City, instead of taking I-75. This had the unplanned benefit of putting us right in the middle of the brand new Cross Winds Energy Park, a wind farm that Consumers put in operation in 2014.
So on the way back, we took a side venture down a dirt road into the middle of a farm to get a closer look at one of the windmills. We were able to get right up to one and could hear the quiet whirring as it generated power, complemented every second or so by the graceful whoosh of a giant blade sweeping over our heads. I lay down on the ground directly underneath to get a full-face view of it and wondered if some kid did something like this in 1942, two years after the Weadock was built, maybe staring up at it from the banks of the Saginaw River running alongside it.
The windmills are so new that the paint still looks perfect. They give the landscape a futuristic look. I imagine a kid in 1942 would have thought the same about the shiny new coal plant in town.
It was all too perfect. Right after experiencing the machinery of one closing era, we happened across a symbol of the next. This isn't just literary whimsy, either. Consumers is replacing its coal generation with natural gas and renewable energy. It's planning to buy power from another wind farm set to open in nearby Huron County by the end of this year.
As for the Weadock, it will be dismantled (not imploded, as the DTE Energy Co. plant in Marysville was last November) following asbestos abatement.
Many of the plant's 49 employees will retire with the plant. Others will take jobs at the company's D.E. Karn plant in the same complex as the Weadock.

I was so excited to get the call from Kyle's parents that it was baby day! He was already a week overdue and we have all been waiting anxiously to meet him. I arrived at the hospital to find Mom and Dad doing wonderfully and a whole family so excited to meet this little boy. It was so much fun to get to know them. I love it when family members are at a birth to celebrate. It is such a joyous time. I was also excited to get to see one of my favoraite hospital midwives, Jeanean Carter, CNM. Great birth and a beautiful family... congrats!

Age of Consent in Michigan: Romeo and Juliet Law Michigan
Published on: November 6, 2022 | by Patrick Barone
The Michigan legal consent age. To not run afoul of the statutory rape Michigan law, it is critical to review the Michigan "consent" laws. Every state enacts its own rape laws relating to the age at which a female can acquiesce to having sexual relations. Making the mistake of engaging in sexual intercourse can make that older person a sex offender.
Consent age in Michigan: Sex laws. In Michigan, the legal age of consent for sexual activity is 16 years old. If an individual is 15 years old or younger, that younger person is not able to legally consent to sexual activity. For teenagers, there is what is sometimes called a "close in age exemption." This is how the Michigan's Romeo and Juliet law got its name.
The Michigan consent age. As codified in Michigan Complied Laws 750.520e(a), this Michigan statute says that if someone is under 16 years old and engages in sexual contact with someone four years older or less, it is not a crime. The key parts of this law are that the older participant can't be more than four (4) years older and the word "contact." Essentially, this means that traditional sexual intercourse (penetration) is not allowed under this law.
Legal Age of Consent in MI. The foregoing rule changes, however, if the older participant in the sex act is an authority figure, such as a high school teacher or administrator. Then, the MI age of consent is 18 years old.
Michigan age laws. In various aspects of our lives, the Legislative branch of government has enacted laws that are meant to protect young people. An example of this is for laws controlling when teenagers can marry in the Great Lakes State, as well as when they can consume alcoholic beverages.
Michigan statutory rape laws. In Michigan, the statutory rape law is denominated "third degree sexual conduct." Any person under age 16 cannot consent to have sex. Thus, the burden is on the other person to positively determine a sex participant's actual age.
What Is the Legal Sex Age in Michigan?
The so-called "Romeo and Juliet" laws (in each state) were developed to prevent felony punishment, or to lessen the severity of the crime, if a young adult (who is near the same age as the younger person) willingly engages in sexual activity with a minor.
In some states, their Romeo and Juliet laws might prevent a 17-year-old or an 18-year-old from being prosecuted for the serious felony crime of statutory rape for having consensual sex with a 15-year-old. Most states will still prosecute for a misdemeanor crime, but those statutes often do not carry mandatory sex offender registration and reporting. Thus, if a 16-year-old female has sex with a male aged 14, this crime (in many states) would be treated as a misdemeanor.
Is the age of majority in Michigan the same as the age of consent? No, it is not. The MI age of majority is 18 years old. This is technically the legal adult age in Michigan but is not the same as the Michigan age of consent 2021, when it comes to consenting to sex.
Minor consent laws Michigan. In Michigan, the minimum age of consent is 16. This is the age by which a person can consensually engage in intercourse, at the age of 16. If even one day short of that 16th birthday, the young participant is incapable of consent.
Legal age Michigan. The legal age of consent in Michigan is age 16. Across the USA, the "16 age number" is the most commonly used number.
Another law in place in the State of Michigan is what is called "engaging in sexual penetration of a person below the age of thirteen (13)." This crime can bring a harsh state prison sentence of twenty-five years. This fact alone justifies immediately retaining a lawyer near me with extensive criminal defense experience.
If you are indigent (unable to pay) then have your criminal court case judge appoint a public defender or a court-appointed attorney to protect your legal rights. The 6th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees this legal defense advocate for you.
This statute does not require proof of penetration with a sexual organ, either. The perpetrator's hand touching the vagina or penis (even when clothing is covering the genitals) is enough to support a conviction for felony criminal sexual activity.
What Is Michigan's Age of Consent?
To understand Michigan's Romeo and Juliet law, a basic understanding of Michigan age of consent law is helpful. The age at which a person can legally consent to sexual activity in Michigan is 16 years old. This means that anyone under the age of 16 does not have the legal capacity to consent to sexual activity.
What is the statute of limitations on statutory rape in Michigan? It does not ever expire. So, this crime has no statute of limitations whereby the time for a Prosecutor to raise such criminal charges "expires."
The age of consent is different when there is an authority figure involved. In these cases, the age of consent is 18. For example, if a teacher is involved in a sexual relationship with a student, the age of consent in this situation is 18, not 16. If you're not sure what the age of consent is in your scenario, a Michigan Sex Crimes Lawyer at the Barone Defense Firm can help you determine the age of consent.
How Does Michigan's Romeo and Juliet Law Work?
Can an 18-year-old date a 16-year-old? Yes, that will work. However, if the younger person is not yet age 16, a huge legal risk exists. Only by discussing the facts (in confidence) with lawyers near me can you know how to proceed, or NOT proceed.
Unfortunately, this news report discusses a sad, recent example of the Romeo and Juliet law not being applicable. When sexual contact began, the female was age 18 and the male was 15 years old. The relationship led to a pregnancy, which then resulted in criminal sexual conduct charges against the female.
Even though the two participants had an age gap of less than 4 years, and she was older than the victim, the Romeo and Juliet law did not apply because the relationship involved sexual penetration. Under Michigan's laws, this is a form of sexual abuse.
If Being Investigated, Only Your Name and Address Are Required
Usually, police will arrive unannounced and "surprise" a suspect in sex cases like this. Many times, a detective or police officer will start the conversation in a non-confrontational manner.
The news story (shown above) indicates that this is how that woman was approached. Your best bet is to remain silent and request a sex crimes attorney near me. Call today for immediate attention to this high-risk situation.
Contact us 24 hours a day at our criminal defense law firm's easy to remember toll-free number, 1-877-ALL-MICH or 877-255-6424, for a free criminal case review.
Plus, your legal advocate will apprise you about not discussing the case with anyone except a licensed Michigan attorney, since no one else has that attorney-client relationship. If you are dealing with this situation, the experienced criminal defense attorneys near me at the Barone Defense Firm can help.
When you do seek legal counsel, you will need an experienced Michigan Sex Crimes Lawyer with extensive expertise in criminal sexual conduct cases. Let that legal professional take over all communications with law enforcement.

More and more people are trying to buy their own homes these days. A modern-day kitchen is designed with all of the necessary ingredients that are required for food preparation. Since food habits define culture and aristocracy of the modern civilization, the importance of decorating the kitchen in an authentic manner is becoming a growing trend for homeowners.
With the right alterations and kitchen design ideas, you can make the area look grand even when it is small. Look at everything in your kitchen and make a list of things that you need to replace. Get the prices of every item on the needed list and work accordingly. To save some bucks you can handle the entire or parts of the remodeling job by yourself.
Use The Optimal Amount Of Floor Space – The first step towards making your kitchen functional is to use its floor space to the maximum. Managing space in your cooking area is quite a daunting task. First, think about how frequently you will be using the kitchen items. It's always good to store your plates, spoons, and bowls adjacent to your table. Keep the containers ready near your work surfaces so that you can properly store the spices and other food items in place where you will need them.
Add Storage Spaces – An island can be great in your Domestic Kitchen. It is the best way to provide a storage space, food preparation space, and dining space without taking too much-limited floor space. You can also incorporate cabinets and create an illusion of space by painting them in light hues. additionally, open shelves and glass cabinet doors will create an element of interest without giving your kitchen a boxed and cramped feeling. For an updated look, add handles and knobs for your kitchen cabinets. Install granite counter-tops coordinating with appliances and cabinets to give your little cooking area some upscale sophistication.
Replace Old Appliances With New Ones – It's time to ditch those old kitchen appliances for brand new ones. Newer appliances are more energy efficient and may become a focal point in your kitchen. Make a note of the features you want in every new appliance you need and also the prices to help you make a decision. Additionally, you can look at the available floor space for the appliances so that they fit properly without making your kitchen clumsy and crowded. Make your kitchen look more spacious with the help of stainless steel appliances. They have a reflective quality that instantly adds class and glamour to your kitchen. But, remember that replacing only a few items can create a mismatched look that will hamper the overall appeal of your kitchen.
Replace Older Light Fixtures – When you are remodeling every aspect of the kitchen, it is very obvious that some of the enhancement of kitchen lighting is also required. So, update old fixtures with new ones. How about budget-friendly track lighting? They will provide bright illumination with taking up too space on the ceiling. The pendant and hang sleek above your kitchen island for a stylish statement in task lighting.
Choose an Interesting Color Scheme – A light color scheme is always preferable for your kitchen. People have a tendency to choose the dark color schemes. But actually, these dark colors shrink a small kitchen space more and make it look unattractive. So, choose the soft color shades for the kitchen cabinets and allow natural light to expand your small cooking area visually.
Make Proper Use of the Corners – The doors of your kitchen cabinet should be completely functional. Leave an adequate space for the door's clearance in your kitchen design. Make sure that you are keeping the kitchen appliances at a safe distance from the corners, and the doors will not bang if you open them simultaneously.
With the above Kitchen Renovation ideas in hand, now you are all ready to deck up your entire kitchen. However, it's very wise to hire a competent architect in order to get a competent result. Just ensure that you are hiring the professional architects and construction builders to enjoy a hassle-free remodeling project. additionally, you need to compare price of different professionals in order to choose the right renovator within your budget.
It is no secret that I am obsessed with peanut butter. Actually any nut butter in fact. Ever since I got an Optimum 9400 blender I have had so much fun making nut butters. If you have a high powered blender all you have to do is put the nuts into the blender and then wait a few minutes for this mixture to turn into a delicious creamy 'butter'. I really enjoy this granola on days when it is hot and I feel like something light, cold and easy to prepare. I usually serve this granola piled high with fresh seasonal fruit, a dollop of coconut yoghurt and then splashed with cold almond milk.
Not a fan of peanut butter? + This recipe would work really well with another nut butter to replace the peanut butter. Cashew or hazelnut butter would be my pick!
Is your child allergic to nuts? + Simply omit the peanut butter. + I have word from a friend (who begged me for this recipe!), that replacing the peanut butter with tahini + a few extra tablespoons of sweetener, was delicious!
Start with a little bit of spinach and gradually build up. Use a good quality protein powder in this recipe which doesn't contain added sweetener if possible.
Add all ingredients to a high powered blender. Blend until combined and smooth. Serves 1.
This is heaven. Quinoa cooked in a creamy chocolate milk. Delicious and super easy to make too.


In a sharp turn of events, the Government of India has decided to give a higher pay as compared to what was recommended by the seventh pay commission. Indeed the recommendation of the seventh pay commission was not considered really attractive by most government employees, considering the inflation and salary hikes given in the private sector. This will lower the gap of pay and benefits.According to news, the highest salary for any government employee in India is likely to be fixed at Rs. 2,70,000, which is around twenty thousand more than the previously suggested upper limit; while the lowest salary is likely to be fixed at Rs. 21,000, which is rupees three thousand higher than the lower suggested limit by the seventh pay commission.
The committee is also likely to propose a higher fitment factor of 3 for all central government employees, unlike the previously proposed fitment factor of 2.57 to 2.81, which was not having its desired effect in terms of boosting employee morale.
Subject to acceptance by the competent authority in the central government of India, these pay scales will be effective from January 1, 2016 for all central government employees.

Zenit brings in veteran Panin

Just in time for the start of training camp this week, Zenit St Petersburg added veteran experience to its lineup by signing forward Vadim Panin for the upcoming 7DAYS EuroCup season. Panin (2.03 meters, 34 years old) boasts a 16-year pro career, all in his native Russia, of which six seasons have been spent in the EuroCup and Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. He played last season for another Russian club, Nizhny Novgorod, the same team with whom he reached the EuroCup semifinals back in 2013-14 while averaging 9.8 points that season. Overall, in 52 career EuroCup games, Panin has put up 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game playing for Nizhny, UNICS Kazan and Triumph Lyubertsy. He has also played for Dynamo Moscow, Rostov, Ural Great and Vladivostok.

The best time to visit Salt Lake City is September to October. The kids are in school and the skiers have yet to arrive, so you'll have the city – and all of its discounted hotel rooms – to yourself. Springtime is another sweet spot for bargains, but snowmelt coupled with higher precipitation levels leads to soggy conditions. Winter marks the peak season with skiers flooding the region's slopes, while summer draws outdoorsy travelers looking to take advantage of the hiking trails and lake activities.
Salt Lake City winters are relatively mild: Average temperatures hover in the 30s, 40s and 50s. However, that's not the case in the mountains: Colder temps and frequent snowfall turn north-central Utah into prime ski terrain, making the city a sought-after home base for powder-hounds. Plus, many hotels offer package deals with discounts on rooms and lift tickets. While hotel rates are never unreasonably high, you'll want to make reservations at least a month in advance to ensure availability.
Spring is short and sweet. Temperatures range from the low 60s to the low 70s, offering a comfortable climate for outdoor activities. Just make sure to bring your waterproof shoes: Melting snow combined with high levels of precipitation can put a damper on your trip. But if you don't mind a little sogginess, you're sure to find some great deals on hotels during this season.
Summer is ideal for getting to know the city's surroundings. Temperatures in the 80s and 90s make a visit much more inviting, while the trails in Wasatch National Forest offer shady respite from the heat. And though this isn't as popular a time to visit as winter, it's still a good idea to make reservations at least two or three weeks in advance.
Autumn is a great time to visit Salt Lake City thanks to fewer crowds and extremely low hotel prices. Temperatures hover between the mid-60s and high 70s, making for ideal leaf-peeping conditions.

Hubble's law
Hubble's law is the statement in astronomy that the redshift in light coming from distant galaxies is proportional to their distance. The law was first formulated by Edwin Hubble in 1929.
If one assumes that this redshift is caused by galaxies moving away from us then it leads to a picture of an expanding universe and, by extrapolating back in time, to the Big Bang theory. The redshift may also be explained by ambient dust and gas between here and the distant galaxy; a longer distance means more dust and gas exists between them, which would mean a larger redshift (a possible source of "dark matter"). Hubble compared the distances to nearby galaxies to their redshift, found a linear relationship. His estimate of the proportionality constant, known as Hubble's constant (and now also as "Hubble's parameter" since it turned out to be not a constant but a parameter that depends on time in a way suggesting accelerating expansion of the universe), was however off by a factor of about 10. Furthermore, if one takes Hubble's original observations and then uses the most accurate distances and velocities currently known, one ends up with a random scatter plot with no discernable relationship between redshift and distance. Nevertheless an approximately linear relationship between redshift and distance was confirmed by observations after Hubble. The law can be stated as follows:
<math>v = H_0 D<math>
where <math>v<math> is the redshift, typically expressed in km/s (velocity that the galaxy should move with, away from us, to produce this redshift through Doppler effect), H0 is Hubble's parameter (at the observer, as denoted by the subscript), and <math>D<math> is the current distance from the observer to the galaxy, measured in megaparsecs: Mpc.
One can derive Hubble's law mathematically if one assumes that the universe expands (or shrinks) and that the universe is homogeneous, meaning that all points within it are equal.
[A better definition of a 'homogeneous space' is one in which local (i.e. neighborhood of a point) properties of concern (say gravity, pressure, density, etc.) are constant throughout a region. The universe is notoriously inhomogeneous on a human scale, as also on stellar/galactic scales as neighborhoods within my house have physical properties very different from those within the interior of the sun much less neighborhoods within the Swartzchild radius of Our Galaxy's central black hole. On quantum scales, no regions anywhere are homogeneous. On cosmic scales, where galaxies are small, some regions are fairly homogeneous, but over all, the entire universe (as we know it from the background microwave radiation) is also notoriously inhomogeneous. But homogeneity is not the essential issue here.]
The mathematical derivation of an idealized Hubble's Law for a uniformly accelerating expanding universe is a fairly elementary theorem of geometry in 3-dimensional Cartesian/Newtonian coordinate space, which, considered as a metric space, is entirely homogeneous and anisotropic (properties do not vary with direction). Simply stated the theorem is this:
Any two points which are moving away from the origin, each
along straight lines and with speed proportional to distance
from the origin, will be moving away from each other with a
speed proportional to their distance apart.
For most of the second half of the 20th century the value of <math>H_0<math> was estimated to be between 50 and 90 km/s/Mpc. The value of the Hubble constant was the topic of a long and rather bitter controversy between Gérard de Vaucouleurs who claimed the value was 100 and Allan Sandage who claimed the value was 50. The Hubble Key Project significantly improved the determination of the value and in May 2001 published its final estimate of 72+/-8 km/s/Mpc. In 2003 the satellite WMAP further improved that determination to 71+/-4, using a completely independent method, based in the measurement of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation.
Hubble's constant is "constant" in the sense that it is believed to work for all velocities and distances right now. The value of H (usually called Hubble parameter to distinguish it from its value now, the Hubble constant) decreases over time however. If one assumes that all galaxies retain their speed relative to us and do not accelerate or decelerate, then we have D = vt and it follows that H = 1/t, where t is the time since the Big Bang. This allows to estimate the age of the universe from H.
Based on recent observations, it is now believed that galaxies accelerate away from us, which means that H > 1/t (but still decreases over time) and the estimate 1/H0 (between 11 and 20 billion years) for the age of the universe is too low.
There are several additional notes to be made:
The distance D to nearby galaxies can be estimated for example by comparing their apparent luminosity to their postulated absolute luminosity.
If the galaxies are far away, one has to take as D the distance to the galaxy right now, not when the light from it was emitted. This distance is extremely hard to determine.
The velocity v is defined to be the time rate of change of D.
For relatively nearby galaxies, the velocity v can be determined from the galaxy's redshift z using the formula v ≈ zc where c is the speed of light. However, only the velocity due to the expansion of the universe should be used: all galaxies move relative to each other independent of the expansion of the universe, and these relative velocities, called peculiar velocities are not accounted for by Hubble's law. For far away galaxies, v cannot easily be determined from the redshift z and can be larger than c.
Systems that are gravitationally bound, such as galaxies or our planetary system, are not subject to Hubble's law and do not expand.

NIGERIA: FAAN Begins Investigation of Fire Outbreak at Its Headquarters In Lagos
Dunio Mabushi 4:11 pm Edit
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has begun investigation to unravel the cause of the fire outbreak which gutted some offices at its headquarters in Lagos on Tuesday, an official has said.
Mrs Herrienta Yakubu, acting General Manager, FAAN, Corporate Communications, made this known when reacting to the incident in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday.
"There was a fire incident at the FAAN headquarters at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos today.
"The incident, which affected some offices, is being investigated right now to find out the cause of the outbreak, " she said.
She said the FAAN Fire Department, in collaboration with the Lagos State Fire Services, responded swiftly to curtail the spread of the fire and restored normalcy to the premises.
The authority would like to assure travellers, airport users and the general public that the incident did not affect operations at any airport in any way as normal operations continue unhindered, Yakubu said.
Addressing journalists, Mr Besan Gwana, the Police Commissioner, Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos, commended the emergency responders for their efforts in putting out the inferno.
"Unfortunately, this morning at about 9.00 a.m, my policemen on patrol observed that smoke was billowing from this FAAN building.
"They quickly drew our attention to it. We informed the firemen and the authority of FAAN to mobilise efforts in order to put out the inferno.
"I was here when the fire fighters arrived well on time and they were able to put out the fire on time. If not for their efforts, the whole building would have been razed. "
According to him, investigation is ongoing to reveal the extent of the damage to the building and the property within.

For example, the roofer who contracts to buy material for use on a building destroyed by fire may be able to cancel that material contract. Issues such as impossibility of performance can change the way a contract is terminated, so be sure to inform your lawyer if these issues may affect your contractual obligations. Male voiceover: Well, it's interesting. The case that established the doctrine of impossibility at is. When a contract was capable of being performed at the time it was entered into but subsequently its performance becomes impossible, it is called supervening impossibility. Such impossibility makes the contract void and the parties are discharged from performing the contract further. In contrast, frustration relates where performance would be made impractical due to an unforeseen event.
That title, I'm going to think about it all day. It is agreed between A, B and C that B shall henceforth accept C as his debtor instead of A. For instance, is soon as a person is discharged by an order of court. The question is one of of the contract, and relates to its formation. Commercial Impracticability Where performance becomes so difficult or costly that the value of the contract to one party is destroyed, continuing that performance to completion may be financially impractical. It makes the contract void ab initio i. For example, if a person was accused of attempting to receive stolen property but the property was not actually stolen, the defense of legal impossibility could arise.
It's like a stuffed bison or wooly mammoth or something. As to impossible conditions in contracts, see Bac. Artists find ways of asking profound questions, about things that can be very mundane. In all the above cases, performance of an obligation becomes impossible and, therefore, the contract is discharged. There is no question of discharge, for there has in never been a contract. This is a work of art taking on those big questions.
We don't have the means to do that. Beth: The ancient Egyptians mummified bodies. Nothing is going to stop the inevitability of decay. Thus, such a contract does not create any rights and obligations on the contracting parties. This is what a shark looks like. It really is, even the word museum, I feel, is wrong. Male voiceover: Just go back to, I guess, both the title, and it being a work of art.
Terminating a contract can often be a complex and legally intensive process. It's something that gets given voice quite a bit. A shark is more convincing or it's just diff. One cannot be obliged to perform impossible tasks. The agreement is void because the terms are not clear.
The mere that it may not be, or is not, performed within the year, does not bring it within the statute. LegalMatch matches you to pre-screened lawyers in your city or county based on the specifics of your case. Or seem overtly silly but can actually be. Beth said a minute ago, that art for its entire history has tried to transcend human death. To be competent to contract, it is essential that the parties are of the age of majority, have sound mind etc. If it cannot be fully performed within the year, the fact that it may be terminated, or that further performance may be excused or rendered impossible, is not sufficient to take it out of the statute.
You could put this in a natural history museum. Something that the artist is sort of framing the shark in, for us to see it. Exceptions: Difficulty of performance, commercial impossibility, strikes and lockouts, civil disturbances, riots, failure of one of the objects when contract is entered into for several objects, default or failure of a third person on whose word the promisor relied, increase in the cost of performance, are not covered by the doctrine of supervening impossibility, and therefore the contract is not discharged. Male voiceover: He does use other animals. Destruction of the object necessary for performance of the contract.
Courts generally have recognized legal impossibility as a defense to a criminal attempt, but not factual impossibility. This still, in a sense, even with that shark. A web developer for money. It is important to note the distinction between and often called impracticability or commercial frustration. It can sometimes be based on the surrounding circumstances, as is commonly the case with contract impossibility. When Performance Becomes Impossible or Unfeasible - Who Bears the Risk? Museum seems to be, let's preserve something that someone else has created.
If a contract is rendered impossible or frustrated, then the parties are automatically released from their obligations to perform. Thus, while impossibility excuses performance where the contractual duty cannot physically be performed, the doctrine of frustration is where performance is still physically possible, but would be very burdensome for the party whose performance is due. If the impossibility is foreseeable, or predictable, then the impossibility doctrine cannot be used as a. Most courts find that such disputes hold weight, and thus void the contract due to the impossibility of performing under the contract. The formaldehyde, of course, is trying to maintain the intactness of the shark, and, perhaps, even its viciousness.

Talking About a Revolution: Alternative Project Delivery With Jim Whitaker
By HKS
Q: You've described Alternative Project Delivery as the most revolutionary advancement in the A/E/C industry today, akin to Amazon's disruptive business model that has transformed the retail industry and how consumers shop. In what ways is Alternative Project Delivery different than traditional design-bid-build projects?
Alternative Project Delivery (APD) is called "alternative" for good reason. Everything is different. The social psychology of team dynamics is different. Contractual arrangements of who is contracted to whom is turned on its head. The preconceived notion of designers' roles, e.g. architects and engineers, is radically changed. The construction contractor's role is expanded and modified. Instead of operating in respective silos, only communicating and collaborating when required, teammates must continuously, effectively communicate. In APD projects, the whole architect-engineer-contractor (AEC) team is reconfigured. Is APD disruptive to norms? Yes. Is APD disruptive? Absolutely. Is APD the future of the AEC world? Absolutely. It's very exciting.
Q: Who or what is driving this massive change in how we deliver projects?
Disruptive changes in any marketplace is often influenced by many stakeholders. First and foremost, clients want better results; many are demanding change. Empirical research shows that the AEC industry can be an inefficient and ineffective use of capital to get to the end result: the built building. Studies from McKinsey & Company conclude that the AEC business is barely more efficient that the labor-intensive mining industry, and labor productivity has increased barely 1% per year compared to 2.8% in the global economy. Simply put, AEC has not kept with the worldwide demand for its services, and in its current form, isn't keeping pace now.
And for sure, technology—from the basic tools of computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) to more exciting tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR)—has radically changed how design services are delivered and makes groundbreaking evolution possible. For the first time in history, people who invent and harness technology are flooding venture capital and applying brainpower of new technologies to the AEC business.
BIM Conference Room at HKS
Q: There are so many variations and hybrids of Alternative Project Delivery — it seems like the many alternatives could cause confusion for the uninitiated. If you were to describe the top three benefits to a client, what would they be?
Yes, there can be confusion. A watershed study of process improvement is the 1998 Construction Industry Institute/Pennsylvania State study that conducted a broad review of various projects, and design-build project delivery, and the conclusions are powerful: it is 6 percent less expensive when compared to design-bid-build (DBB); 12 percent faster in construction duration and 33 percent faster in overall project duration; 5.2 percent less cost growth; 11.4 percent less schedule growth; and overall, higher owner satisfaction ratings. So, yes, design-build is "cheaper, faster, and better;" but more importantly, design-build and other forms of alternative project delivery where the best and brightest minds are collaborating, APD has the ability to deliver more built value per dollar spent that other traditional delivery methodologies.

Q: On the flip side, what would you say are Alternative Project Delivery method's three biggest challenges today?
Change can be hard. Change means a different way of working that gets people of out their comfort zones. And so it is true with Alternative Project Delivery. To use an economic euphemism, creative destruction is an uncomfortable experience. I believe ADP's biggest challenges to greater adoption are psychology and resistance to change; training, technology, and experience in different contracting and operating environments; and in some locales, there are statutory and regulatory barriers.
Q: Does ADP more readily apply to some project types? Are we seeing adoption of APD on some project types more than others?
APD works for all project types, sizes and complexities. There are no limitations.
Q: You've said Alternative Project Delivery makes architects nervous. Why is that?
Yes, rethinking the design process is a big deal. What we architects do is important — it's not just protecting health, safety and welfare for building occupants, but creating spaces, both indoor and outdoors, that enhance the human experience. Architects assume the thought leadership role and significant responsibility to serve as the problem-solver, the special role to transform a space into a three-dimensional design solution. An environment. A space. A vibe. The creative design process is iterative; the design process is part art and part science; and importantly, the design process is highly personal.
With the preamble above, I think it is fair to say architects and engineers are sensitive to changes of circumstance in how they deliver their respective professional services. What architects do is important. And, change is difficult. But history has taught that early adopters and current practitioners in APD projects are happy architects — many are catching on and through experience, are realizing that APD offers incredible opportunity to provide high-impact brainpower earlier in the process to better effect.
Q: Final question. We think of architects as having the market cornered on the creative aspects of our business, and that the contractual and execution side of our business is simply business as usual. But what you're describing is quite the opposite: there is great opportunity, creativity and flexibility when it comes to collaborative teaming, contractual frameworks and project delivery. How is this innovation reshaping our industry?
Success in all forms of APD is really a wide-open opportunity of shocking innovation, incredible creativity, and infinitely more collaborative, communicative and effective design and construction. The client wins. The AEC community wins. The building occupant or end-user wins. Architects are uniquely qualified to be key contributors and thought leaders in an evolving new world order.
