Emily Brydon, née le  à Fernie, est une skieuse alpine canadienne. Elle a, au cours de sa carrière, remporté une victoire en coupe du monde lors d'un super G à Saint-Moritz.

Carrière sportive
En juniors, elle obtient une médaille d'argent aux championnats du monde juniors de 2000 à Lac Beauport (Québec) dans l'épreuve du slalom derrière la Suédoise Anja Pärson. La même saison, elle fait ses débuts en coupe du monde en prenant part au slalom géant de Copper Mountain duquel elle ne parvient pas à se qualifier en seconde manche le  puis rentre pour la première fois dans les points à l'occasion de la descente de Lake Louise en prenant la .

En 2001, elle termine pour la première fois dans le top 10 à l'issue d'une épreuve de coupe du monde lors du Super G d'Aspen le  puis monte pour la première fois sur un podium lors de la descente de Saint-Moritz le 16 décembre avec une  derrière les Autrichiennes Brigitte Obermoser et Renate Götschl. Cela lui permet à la fin de la saison de se classer au  mondial, cependant elle a dû mettre un terme à sa saison lors des championnats du monde de ski alpin 2001 de Sankt Anton (elle parvient tout de même avant sa blessure à avoir une  au combiné et une  au super G) où elle est victime d'une déchirure au ligament croisé au genou droit puis six mois plus tard elle subit la même blessure au genou gauche.

Malgré ses blessures et le manque de compétition (aucune participation à une épreuve de coupe du monde), elle décide de s'aligner aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2002 à Salt Lake City, elle prend la  en slalom géant et la  en slalom.

De retour en coupe du monde en 2003, elle signe une encourageante  en super G à Lake Louise, mais la saison est marquée par des résultats irréguliers, finalement elle se classe que  au général. Aux Mondiaux 2003, elle s'aligne dans toutes les disciplines mais sa meilleure performance n'est qu'une  en combiné. En 2004, elle termine au pied du podium en descente () à Lake Louise, puis marque régulièrement des points dans les épreuves de descente et de super G. Cela lui permet d'élever son meilleur rang au général avec une .

Elle poursuit la saison 2005 sur le même tempo, sa régularité ponctuée par quelques performances ( au combiné de San Sicario,  à la descente de San Sicario,  à la descente de Cortina d'Ampezzo) lui vaut une  au classement général et une  au classement du combiné. Aux Mondiaux 2005, elle reste sur cette même régularité avec une  en combiné et super G, et une  en descente. En 2006, malgré un podium à Val d'Isère ( en super G), elle baisse d'un ton dans ses performances et prend la  au général. Entre-temps, elle participe aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2006 à Turin où elle obtient la  au combiné, la  en super G et la  en descente.

En 2007, elle réussit à intégrer le top 20 du classement général en coupe du monde avec une , grâce à sa régularité dans les épreuves de descente ( au classement), de super G ( au classement) et du combiné ( au classement). Entre-temps, aux Mondiaux 2007, sa meilleure performance est une  au combiné. En 2008, après quelques contre-performances, Brydon semble avoir retrouvé son meilleur niveau : après un podium à Saint-Moritz en  ( lors du super G), elle réalise un début d'année 2008 réussi avec une  en descente, une  et  en super G à Cortina d'Ampezzo. De retour à Saint-Moritz, elle termine de nouveau  en descente avant de remporter sa première victoire en coupe du monde lors du super G le , devenant la cinquième Canadienne à s'imposer en super G en coupe du monde.

En 2009-2010, Brydon dispute l'ultime saison de sa carrière au plus haut niveau et s'illustre dès l'entame de l'hiver en se classant deuxième et troisième des descentes de Lake Louise, qui portent son bilan à neuf podiums en Coupe du monde. Quelques semaines plus tard, elle participe aux Jeux olympiques dans son pays à Vancouver, pour finir seizième de la descente et quatorzième du super-combiné.

Icon of the West
PUBLISHED: 15:41 21 January 2008 | UPDATED: 15:00 20 February 2013
This beautiful salamander corbel is found in the north transept of the cathedral. By Neville Stanikk
Alongside Cheddar Gorge, Stonehenge and the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Wells Cathedral, and in particular the west front, is one of the most significant iconic images of the Westcountry. So it is not surprising that after filming 'Hot Fuzz' in Wel...
Twice as wide as it is high and with more than 300 statues, the west front may look impressive now but once upon a time it might have looked even more spectacular. "In the Middle Ages the west front was coloured; it was all different bright colours," says John Roberts, the administrator of the cathedral. "If you repainted it today in the bright colours it was then I think the modern brain wouldn't be able to cope with it. So I don't think it's something we want to go back to."
The building of the cathedral was started in 1180 and completed around 1239 when it was dedicated; it was the first English gothic cathedral. Since it was never monastic, the church was left untarnished by Henry VIII. Presumably to increase the prestige of the building, the tower was extended in the early 18th century but unfortunately it began to tilt because some of the land was soft - that was when the idea of the famous scissor arches was conceived. "They transfer the weight from the part where it was soft to the stone and succeeded in holding the tower stable," explains John. "It was a hugely successful, brilliant medieval engineering solution but also an architectural one because they're very good looking. The thing that strikes us as very odd is that it was never used anywhere else."
The west front of Wells Cathedral is twice as wide as it is high and has more than 300 statues
By the mid-1800s the church had slipped into a state of disrepair and a major restoration programme was needed. The monuments were removed to the cloisters and the 'great scrape' was initiated - this was the removal of the whitewash from the walls and the eradication of any remaining medieval paint. During the 1980s a conservation, rather than restoration, project took place to preserve the west front.
As I walk down the side aisle in search of the famous Wells clock - brilliant in itself with its original medieval face and jousting knights rushing around on the quarter hour - people are shifting video cameras, while clothes stands with school names on them lie deserted. I have obviously managed to catch a quiet pocket of preparation time in between the bouts of activity. For this is a busy building.
There are, for instance, a minimum of 24 services a week; over the year there are about 50 concerts in the evenings, and another dozen or so at lunchtime. There's a couple of lecture series and numerous prayer pilgrimages; then there are special days like ordinations and appointment ceremonies, and more than 8,000 children will attend specially organised events. Not surprisingly, Christmas is the most hectic time: there are about 30 carol services or concerts in the weeks leading up to Christmas Day, and an extra 35,000 people will come through the doors. Over a full year there are 300,000 visitors and 170,000 worshippers.
To manage all these events, the cathedral has a workforce of about 80, including choristers, organists, office workers, vergers, archivists, and shop and restaurant staff. It even has its own architect and its own archaeologist. Then, of course, there are the invaluable 350 volunteers.
In order to stay open financially the building requires the equivalent of £3,000 a day, a third of which comes from visitor donations.
The cathedral may be busy but it might be about to get busier, for a 12-year, £6-million development project is nearing completion. The first few years were spent in determining objectives and getting planning permission; fundraising started in 2003 and construction two years later.
John says: "There were a lot of objectives, but we've also got a lot of problems because this is a medieval building constructed for medieval use not for 21st-century use or 21st -century legislation or 21st-century expectation. So we have no indoor toilets, no proper practice facilities for children and no education rooms or spaces for these 8,000 children who come - all sorts of problems related to the 21st century."
The solution has been to create modest new buildings in three locations around the cathedral - partly to provide the correct facilities for the 21st century and partly to make it possible to open up areas in the cathedral where previously there has been no access.
The project is expected to be finished by the end of this year, but there is still a further £250,000 to be raised. What it will mean is that the medieval Pilgrim's Porch, the entrance in the 14th century, will be re-opened; the complete three-sided cloister returned to a walkway; four medieval doors unblocked; the cathedral will have suitable education facilities; the beautifully vaulted Undercroft will be opened to the public; interpretation and exhibition space will be created; and the whole of the ground area of the cathedral will be accessible to people with disabilities for the first time.
Presumably there will be no change to the west front exterior, because Wells Cathedral is not just a place of worship, not just a business, not just a living community, not just a theatrical and educational space, but also an icon... painted or not.

Spann House is an historic Victorian-style building in Yonkers, New York.

Spann House was constructed in 1897 as a single-family residence. The house was built in regional stone at a time when all the neighboring houses were built in wood.  Spann House is one of the few buildings in Yonkers with entirely stone bearing walls. Spann House was converted to a multifamily residence in 1931.  In 1999, it was purchased and renovated.

History
Spann House was built in 1897 for Isaac Osgood Carleton. Carleton operated an import/export business in New York City. Unlike its neighbors the Spann House had an all stone structure, a simple form and basic dormered gable roof, which seemed an Active Design departure at a time when wood construction was cheaper and more popular than stone.

In 1931, the current owners of Spann House converted it to a multifamily residence. Many of the other single family residences were left in disrepair, as their owners died or moved. In the 1970s a rash of development surrounded Spann House with multi-story apartment buildings. Between 1970 and 1975 one development company alone built five apartment buildings within a mile of Spann House.

In 1999 Kathryn Spann. a New York City lawyer, purchased Spann house.  By then, it was a dilapidated but functioning apartment building. She purchased it from the estate of Sanislav Kira, a carpenter who specialized in high-end church furniture.  Spann maintained its multi-family designation to offset the enormous cost of purchasing and renovating the building.

Site
Spann House sits at the edge of the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, which slopes down towards Warburton Avenue and the Hudson River. The house site is covered in lush vegetation that includes pine, maple, hostas and fern. Rocks jut out all over the site. The stone on the site is Yonkers Gneiss. Warburton Avenue runs parallel to the Hudson River and is relatively level. this flatness is the reason for the street's early development and growth. New York Statesman, The future of Warburton Avenue, 1883.

Spann house has a large porch on the parlor level, and large windows from all the rooms looking out on the east side to the aqueduct, on the north and south at the Lawn and hosta gardens respectively.

Approaching from Warburton Avenue, stone steps take visitors past a 15 foot deep step in the slope at the front of the site approximately 5 feet above street level. This is the first garden and has always been the most manicured part of the site. Where there were probably local ornamental flowers, Spann now has vegetable gardens and ornamental plants.

The next level on Spann House is the house level, the southern portion near the entrance is partially manicured and covered in hostas. On the north side there is a large lawn used to host garden parties and was probably hedged by rose bushes, as is evident in the remnant bushes that line the area.

A big problem with rejuvenating the Spann House garden was the abundance of vines. As a result of years of neglect thick vines had taken over the lawn and manicured gardens. Truckloads were removed to return the grounds to their pristine state.

Form and materials

The Spann house buildings form an extruded rectangle plan, the only irregularities being the protrusion of bay windows to let in the views of the Hudson. The roof is a steeply pitched Gable, with Gable dormers on the north and south sides. In plan, Spann house is generally similar to its middle class Victorian counterparts. It has a porch that wraps around the south side to the front, a partially submerged lower level, a raised first level, two floors above that and an attic. The plan was converted first in the 1930s and at least once in the 1980s before its present configuration.

What would have been the parlor floor during Spann House's incarnation as a single-family residence now contains a large, one-bedroom apartment, which housed Spann during renovation. Another large one-bedroom apartment occupies what would have been the living floor. The floor, where the family bedrooms would have been, was converted to a two-bedroom apartment and where there was a kitchen and servants quarters in the cellar, now there are two studio apartments and a work room. It is connected to the Warburton Avenue on the south west corner by a stone stair, and via a single car garage at the northernmost corner of the site.

Spann researched the history of the Spann House and found images of it close to when it was built. The color used on the wood trim was an approximation based on the photos. She repointed the walls and rebuilt the wall and steps leading to the house from the street and up to the aqueduct. To restore the interiors she referenced images from comparable houses in the area.

Spann gutted the house as the interiors had begun to wear, the last extensive renovation had been in the 1970s.  At that time, Formica surfaces and a new boiler was added and the electrical system and most fixtures were replaced.

Spann's renovation took over five years, due in equal parts to the availability of funds and the tedium of sourcing quality vintage or vintage style fixtures along with the complexity of maintaining at least 3 tenants at all times.

In a vivid episode of "Things You Might Not Know", the ever-curious Tom Scott explained why computers aren't able to capture the true intensity of rich pigments as he mixed up a batch of "The World's Pinkest Pink" powdered paint by artist Stuart Semple.
There are all sorts of complicated and clever ways that computers can store colour, but by the time this video reaches your screen it's basically just a series of numbers that say how bright to make each of the red, green and blue pixels, the tiny lights that make up your screen. And unless you've got a really fancy, expensive screen, those numbers run from 0 to 255 — which is eight 1s in binary. 0 means turn the pixel off, 255 means as bright as it can go. That means your screen can show somewhere around 16 million colours. But that's not every colour.

2022 Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day
Dallas/Fort Worth 3‑Day November 4-6, 2022
3 Days. 60 Miles. Not as hard as Breast Cancer.
Your Susan G. Komen 3‑Day® starts the moment you make the commitment. Your 3‑Day coaches will support you as you train and fundraise. Our amazing community of walkers, crew, and volunteers will welcome you as you get ready to spend three magical days together on a journey to end breast cancer forever.
The first day begins with an inspirational Opening Ceremony where the adrenaline and anticipation of taking on 60 miles is like nothing you've ever experienced before. The feelings of pride and strength you'll realize while walking 60 miles through the city of Dallas and its suburbs are only matched by the spirit and gratitude of the communities you encounter and those you are helping along the way. The route combines the most interesting history and architecture in the city of Dallas with the beauty of the surrounding suburbs.
You will spend two nights at the Dallas Hyatt Regency or a nearby hotel, in the embrace of the dedicated 3-Day community, sharing stories, eating meals together and making new friends. It all culminates in a Closing Ceremony celebrating everything you accomplished, remembering those we have lost, and honoring those who are in the fight of their lives.
We do it for ourselves, our sisters, mothers, fathers, daughters and friends. Because we can't sit idly by watching while breast cancer still exists in the world. Over the past 18 years, we've raised more than $863 million to save lives, support community programs, and make huge strides in breast cancer research.
The Susan G. Komen 3‑Day is an experience you'll never forget. It's why our walkers come back year after year to recommit their time and energy to put an end to breast cancer once and for all.
It's a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. We stay together as a community on Friday and Saturday nights in a local hotel. It includes meals, a 3-Day lounge, massage chairs and lots more!
The route is fully supported by an experienced and energetic crew who will keep you safe and cheer to you the finish line! Bring your favorite water bottle (we have plenty of stations to refill it all weekend long!), your walking shoes, and an open heart.
You'll raise $2,300 to help end breast cancer. It may be hard, but it's not as hard as breast cancer. We'll match your commitment by taking care of your food and sleeping arrangements over the course of the weekend. Now's the time to step up and commit to this challenge—for this mission, for those you love and for yourself. You can do it and we are here to help!

To provide comprehensive digital land survey services to earthwork contractors, design firms, and equipment retailers involved in automated machine guidance (AMG) projects.
We also discussed naming strategy for the company. A large decision whether to use the full name, a partial name, or an acronym for the company was a major part of the beginning stages of the identity design. Some of the initial concepts show naming and potential naming structures as well as accompanying icons, illustration or focal elements.
To focus the logo on the company's speciality of building 3D models, we considered using type composed of 3D elements similar visually to the finished models, additionally we tried a more playful approach of building a pile of dirt that appeared as if were built using 3D software.
The final logo design was chosen because of its strict geometric, bold structure, and small yet clever addition of a dashed line, hinting at the end result of the land surveying services; a highway. Additionally, the client ultimately decided that using the acronym would strengthen the recognizability of the company when used in logo form.
I'm happy to share the style prototypes designed to help the client choose type faces, color schemes, and other visual elements for the website.
Note: These prototypes are not intended to show actual layout of the finished website, but rather help determine some of the visual elements that will be used throughout.
Here is a snapshot of the finished website, launched in February 2014.

Michel Foucault: the Anonymous Discontinuity of Knowledge
article [ Creative ]
by Axel Lenn [axel24 ]
2004-10-19 |
This text is a follow-up |
Philosophical mentor of the ´60s, controversial on the French cultural scene, Michel Foucault was philosopher, historian, essayist, psychologist, professor in France and Tunis. His numerous volumes ["Folie et déraison. Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique" (1961), "Naissance de la clinique.
Une archéologie du régard médical" (1963), "Les Mots et les choses. Une archéologie des sciences humaines"(1966), "L'Archéologie du savoir" (1969), "Raymond Roussel" (1962), "Hommage à Georges Bataille" (1963), "Language to Infinity" (1963), "La pensée du dehors" (1966), "L'Ordre du Discours (1971)", "Surveiller et punir. Naissance de la prison" (1975), "La Volonté de savoir. Vol. I of Histoire de la sexualité" (1976), "L'Usage des plaisirs. Vol. II of Histoire de la sexualité" (1984), "Le Souci de soi. Vol. III of Histoire de la sexualité" (1984)], the academic and civic work, media debates imposed him as a new school of thought classic in France – quite paradoxical this canonization since Foucault's ideas appear controversial, really subversive here and there.
Influenced by Nietzsche and Heidegger, Marx and Freud, he explored the shifty schemes of power in society contending time and history alter mankind's basic truths. His work attempts to re-locate events in new perspectives sustained by erudite research, exceptional descriptive talent and original interpretation. He reunites historical ideas and hypotheses in a literary manner with artistic touches, re-discussing the traditional perspective on History in identifying discontinuity elements that allow or impose the transition from one era to another.
The foremost concept of his studies on history is "the archaeology of knowledge", contending that present civilization is the result of summing up successive ages differing not only in men and events but in thinking manner, in episteme as well.
To an innocent reader the titles and subtitles in Foucault's bibliography are real pitfalls. "Histoire de la folie" is not really a history of madness, though it uses tons of historical data and many original documents, because the author considers madness not a coherently induced condition, but a process, a function. Likewise, "Surveiller et punir. Naissance de la prison" is not a history of how prison appeared as the subtitle indicates, but a book on power. Foucault presents a less indulgent view on power that is not simply negative, though cruel, abhorrent and repressive; power is continually produced and fed by human need.
The difficulty of identifying Foucault's subjects is due to his lack of belief in anthropological constants, in a general theory on history and mostly to his complex, idiosyncratic and autarchic discourse many times approachable by some initiates alone. Reading Foucault reveals subtle irony, playful frame of mind apparently shaky and frequently skeptical. Many passages in his books, but chiefly interviews and articles offer bits of self-portrayal, Foucault admitting intersections with science historians and the ´50s' anti-psychiatric trend.
Involved in social issues, he's to be found among the promoters of a generalized contesting movement shaking France in 1968. Following detailed investigation in hospitals, asylums and prisons, he brings up again the enforcement of human rights in confining institutions. He takes active part in fighting for the removal of such structures that embody, in a concentrated manner, the strategies of social surveillance and domination stage-managing the society.
He gets deeply involved in the issue of modern state and power claiming that a limited number of leaders initiated in universal ruling taboos can align all the disciplines of knowledge to their objectives thus contributing to the individual's enslaving and colonization.
In mid ´70s Foucault is mostly interested in the history of sexuality, announcing a series of 5 books that was never finalized and that should have dealt with sexuality in modern times. Still, he published 2 volumes in the ´80s: "L'Usage des plaisirs" and "Le Souci de soi" on sexuality being contended by ancient Greeks and Romans. He declares he's gay, unwilling to be considered a gay thinker though he gets involved with Gai-Pied during his last years. He acknowledges there is love in gay and lesbian couples, influencing the appearance of a "social construction" program that will impose a new approach, considering human beings and their sexuality are products of the spirit and time they live in. He brings up the oppression model once more, claiming sexual minorities appeared as the result of negative social pressure. He dismisses the idea of trans-historical homosexuality – a model sort of stable that would impose a social typology out of time.
He dies in June 1984, another AIDS victim, not before declaring in a final interview: "The quest for some form of morality universally acceptable (…) seems a catastrophe to me".

Ice Bucket Challenge Sends 87 Year Old Lady To Hospital In Critical Condition. Unless you have been living under a rock this last month, you know that the Ice Bucket Challenge spreading across the internet is all done to raise money for the research of Lou Gehrig's Disease. But did you know that the cold water can cause heart attacks due to vasoconstriction, the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessel. Dr. Brian O'Neill of the Detroit Medical Center says participants should proceed with caution. He told WWJ News Radio 950 being doused with freezing cold water can pose significant dangers. "What happens is, if it's a longer duration or even a shorter intense duration, it sometimes can cause a vagal response. That happens when you breathe in and you bear down from the freezing cold water, and it slows your heart rate down," Said O'Neill.
That's exactly what happened to 87-year-old Martha Wynn who was recently reported to be in critical condition after being "called out" by her granddaughter to participate in an ice bucket challenge. The ice cold water sent her body into hypothermia, which sent her bodies core temperature lower than needed for metabolism. She is said to have only a 30% chance of living. O'Neill urges those who accept the Ice Bucket Challenge to be wise and cautious about it. "Be reasonable. I think the problem is that everyone is going to do it better, bigger and badder," warns O'Neill. Doctors are asking people to take part in the "NO Ice Bucket Challenge". They say you should just donate to ALS and skip the ice! But keep this in mind, only 27% of the money raised goes to ALS Research while $1.9 million a year goes to paying the salaries of people who work for ALSA and $4 million dollars is spent on fundraising! They spend donation money trying to get more donations. So while ALS brags about raising $70 million since the inception of the Ice Bucket Challenge, the public should know only $17.5 million of that money will go towards finding a cure.

Now that I'm back to blogging regularly again (thus far), I'm reminded of the 500-odd posts in my old blog, many of which won't have been read by new readers, and many of which I've completely forgotten myself. So occasionally I'll dig out one of those old posts and re-publish it here. If I think the old post needs a bit of a re-write, I'll post the revised version here; but if I think the old post stands the test of time I'll leave it untouched and simply link to it. And that's the case with a post from about a year ago, entitled Releasing vs. Delivering.

The Tale of a Journeyman
by Dagmar on June 2, 2017
In medieval times, the apprentice was bound to his master for a number of years. He lived with the master as a member of the household, receiving most or all of his compensation in the form of food and lodging. An apprentice could not charge a fee for his day's work; in Germany, it was normal that the apprentice had to pay a fee for his apprenticeship. After the years of apprenticeship, the apprentice was absolved from his obligations. The guilds, however, would not allow a young craftsman without experience to be promoted to master and thus qualify to set up his own business. To gain experience, the craftsman could choose to work for someone else or to independently roam about looking for work as a "journeyman".
Journeymen can be easily recognised on the street by their clothing. The carpenter's black hat has a broad brim; some professions use a black stovepipe hat or a cocked hat. The carpenters wear black bell-bottoms and a waistcoat and carry the Stenz, which is a traditional curled hiking pole. Because many professions have converted to the uniform of the carpenters, many people in Germany believe that only carpenters go journeying, which is untrue–since the carpenter's uniform is best known and well received, it simply eases the journey.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The journeyman carries his belongings in a leather backpack called the Felleisen. Some medieval towns banned the Felleisen (due to the fleas in them) so that many journeymen used a coarse cloth to wrap their belongings in.
The uniform is completed with a golden earring and golden bracelets, which could be sold in hard times and in the Middle Ages could be used to pay the gravedigger if the journeyman should die on his journey.
Only after the journeyman had completed half of the required journeyman years could he register with a guild for the right to be an apprentice master. After fully completing the journeyman years, the craftsman would settle in a workshop of the guild, and after some more years he would be allowed to make his masterpiece and present it to the guild. With their consent, he would be promoted to guild master and be allowed to open his own guild workshop in town.

"Zunft" History – Clothing and Workwear
by Dagmar on June 22, 2014
For the highest demands
The Bielefeld Originals have been the "Zunft" specialists since 1894. Of course they want to uphold this long tradition, which is why their products offer a combination of tradition, quality and functionality. For many years they have been combining traditional materials with modern, technical textiles. After all, no carpenter would simply purchase "Zunft" trousers because of some tradition. Rather, the trousers must meet the current modern-day requirements.
At FHB, it is very important to them that their products are robust and hard-wearing – meeting even the highest demands. They can promise you that because they are the only industrial company that still produces its "Zunft" workwear in Germany. Furthermore, a large part of the materials they process are also made in Germany. And they are proud of this fact. Of course, the price also plays a role, especially nowadays. However, it need not always be the cheapest. The products should be worth their price. And you can rely on this with the Bielefeld Originals. As you could always.
The "Schächte"
This brotherhood broke away from the "Zünfte" and developed into the various "Schächte". The journeymen wore a special knitted tie to indicate their affiliation. This could be quite important, as the various affiliations often got into brawls with each other. Since their foundation, they focused on upkeeping the tradition and, nowadays especially, on making journeyman travelling more popular once again with young artisans.
Steetz's visit Stuttgart Trade Fair
Peter and Dagmar Steetz of Steetz Copper Craft in Calgary travelled to Stuttgart, Germany in January to attend Europe's most popular construction trade fair. The biannual event "Dach + Holz International"
(Roof + Timber), ran from January 31 through February 3, attracting manufacturers and tradespeople from all over Europe, representing all aspects of roofing and carpentry.
"We had the opportunity to meet most of our suppliers there, like Schröder, WUKO, Stubai, Perkeo, Grömo and MASC," said Dagmar Steetz, "and we didn't have to travel all over Germany and Austria."
This gave us a chance to talk in person with them and see all their
new products," she added. Steetz said that most companies
represented at the show featured product demonstrations and materials for roofing and carpentry, but "they had an extra hall for architectural sheet metal work, where they focused more on tools and machinery."
Stuttgart is the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany. The city has adopted its own tag line, "Standort Instagram Video Downloader
Zukunft" which translates as "Where business meets the future". That term could well be applied to the Steetz's, who take pride in providing their customers with a combination of top-notch service and Europe's most modern, best engineered tools and machinery.
Steetz Copper Craft has recently expanded its business relationship with WUKO Maschinenbau of Austria (Maschinenbau is German for 'Machine Engineering'). "WUKO products are known for their superior quality and toughness," says Steetz. "They are produced in small series and are only made of high-quality materials." In addition, she says, "Each WUKO product is individually checked before it is delivered."
Steetz Copper Craft supplied the RCABC with a full line of tools and machinery for its Architectural Sheet Metal facility, which opened in Fall of 2010.
Master craftsman blends innovation with tradition
RCABC ASM facility has trusted ally
Canadian company sources European hand tools and machinery
by Paddy Tennant
The grand opening of RCABC's Architectural Sheet Metal Training Centre was a memorable event – complete with a catered lunch, photographers, speeches by local VIPs; and attended by the who's- who of Canada's roofing industry.
But, as with most such occasions, there were important people behind the scenes who didn't "make the headlines." ASM instructor Connor Hofler, who developed the RCABC version of the program, did not get up to the podium. Instead he spoke privately but enthusiastically about the people who supplied the top- quality shop equipment.
Conner related his experience: "When doing research for the tools that the new ASM program requires, it became apparent that many of them would have to be imported from European sources. In particular, the WUKO bending tools, which are manufactured in Austria, were at the top of the list of tools to acquire; however, there were few distributers in North America that these tools could be purchased through, and only one name appeared as an authorized retailer in Canada – Steetz Copper Craft Ltd. After looking through the immense selection of tools and machinery that this company could provide, from Stubai hand tools to Schroder brakes, it was clear that Steetz would be essential in acquiring all of the equipment necessary to make this training facility one of the best in North America."
RCABC EVP Brian Hofler contacted Peter and Dagmar Steetz, the owners of Steetz Copper Craft, who were enthusiastic to help in any way they could and eager to meet the people who spoke of a "new" Architectural Sheet Metal program that would train apprentices in modern technologies, while honouring traditional techniques.
Peter Steetz arranged to visit the RCABC Training Facility, driving with his family from Alberta on his own accord, and demonstrated tools and seaming techniques for the ASM Level 2 apprentices. Steetz "captured their attention with his skill and charisma", says Connor, and after a meeting with Brian it was agreed that Steetz Copper Craft would act as RCABC's broker in all of its tool and machinery transactions.
The Steetz's normally offer a discount for schools, but they even surpassed Connor's expectations. Working diligently and explaining RCABC's cause to various companies across Europe, Peter and Dagmar managed to get educational discounts on all of the tools and equipment RCABC purchased through them – a testament to their good nature and work ethic.
Furthermore, says Connor,
"the Steetz's even came out and helped set up all of the machinery they helped RCABC acquire without being asked to." Their willingness to go that extra mile has forged a solid relationship between Steetz Copper Craft and the RCABC.
Today, the fully-equipped ASM shop boasts a range of hand tools and machinery that Connor says "most journeypersons in the ASM trade have never seen, let alone used for their intended purposes."
These include several Schroder- Fasti machines, each with different uses; two hand operated folding machines (model 102), commonly called 'slip-joint rollers', which are used for making curved or cylindrical objects; and four box- and-pan brakes, also referred to as 'finger brakes'. These have removable fingers which allow for small, detailed folds to be made, Connor explains.
"There are also two rotary machines for flanging and swaging. These make small creases and folds for joints and seams.
"We also have one 3-metre brake, used for general forming operations; and one 3-metre shear for cutting sheets of material lengthwise." he says.
The new ASM facility will provide invaluable training for BC's ASM apprentices, and raise the bar for ASM standards in Canada.
Connor is grateful for the Steetz's involvement. "It has been a pleasure getting to know Peter and Dagmar", he says. "They are dedicated, honest, and more than helpful. Hopefully this relationship will continue well into the future and, if we are lucky, Peter will be able to come and teach traditional copper working techniques to the ASM apprentices in the future."

About Us | Brooks Dental, P.C.
Families and friends in Winthrop, East Boston, and Revere know Brooks Dental as a place where they can find quality comprehensive dental care from a trusted team of professionals. For the past 30+ years, Dr. Howard Brooks, Dr. Barry Brooks, and the entire staff have been dedicated to building healthy, confident smiles. Keep reading to learn more about us, our values, and the exceptional level of care you can expect to receive when you visit our state-of-the-art dental practice.
Dr. Barry Brooks began Brooks Dental in Winthrop back in 1959. Little did he know that he had just begun a long legacy of exceptional dental care. The day his son, Dr. Howard Brooks, decided to pursue the same profession, it made complete sense to Dr. Barry, who had always noted his son's skill in working with his hands.
Upon graduating from the Boston University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Howard joined his father at Brooks Dental in 1987 to continue the tradition of excellence in dental care. Dr. Howard Brooks applied similar principles while providing a modern approach by offering the latest advancements in dental care. The two have since worked side by side, providing high-quality cosmetic and general dental services.
And the legacy continues, as Dr. Howard's daughter Dr. Stephanie has recently joined the family practice. Everyone here at Brooks Dental is happy to have a third generation of the family on the team.
Our #1 mission is to provide our patients with outstanding dental care in a comfortable, calm, and supportive environment. We offer a wide range of dental services under one roof for patients of all ages. Whether you need a basic checkup, a cleaning, or a more complex procedure, such as dental implants or orthodontic treatment, we can accomplish it all.
Preventive dental care through regular hygiene and early detection. Preventive care works to stop problems like tooth decay and gum disease from developing. Patients of all ages should receive a checkup and cleaning at least every six months, and additional preventive treatments like dental sealants and topical fluoride can provide extra protection against cavities.
Restorative dental care to help get your smile back on track after tooth decay, injury, or disease gets in the way. Our services range from dental implants for tooth loss to basic fillings and dental crowns to treat significant tooth decay.
Cosmetic dentistry helps ensure healthy teeth look their very best. Treatments such as teeth whitening lift stains from the surface of teeth, while porcelain veneers masks flaws altogether. Most adults can benefit from some aspect of cosmetic dentistry.
Endodontic treatment , also known as root canal therapy, can rescue severely decayed or damaged teeth.
Now that you know more about us, we would like to invite you to request an appointment. Your healthy, long-lasting smile depends on regular care from a dentist you trust -- and we can't wait to welcome you into our extended dental family.


BOSTON — Managers dread having to shepherd star players into their twilight.
The players so often do not see his own talents fade. Their teammates are constantly monitoring for signs of disrespect. Fans frequently watch with their hearts rather than their eyes, seeing any reduction in usage as disloyalty.
So imagine managing two iconic players at once, both of whom have had their roles diminished: Welcome to Joe Girardi's potential nightmare.
So the clock is ticking, which is kind of the problem; the ceaseless march of time eroding greatness. Look at it this way: Mark Teixeira is hitless in his last 18 at-bats with seven strikeouts, and it is easy to explain away as just another of his bad Aprils. You know why? Because he turns 31 today.
Jeter will turn 37 in June, Posada will be 40 in August. So it is harder to dismiss the current eyesore data. And if this really is an accelerated portion of their decline phases, then managing Phil Hughes' absent fastball is going to feel like the good old days for Girardi.
Jeter and Posada are pillars of this franchise, leaders of this roster, still expected to be contributors to a special 2011. They were half of the sainted Core Four. Now they are the Blue Two, because it is kind of sad to see them fighting to avoid their Willie Mays, 1973 moment.
If this were just last night, the poor performance could be attributed to a reborn Josh Beckett, who mastered an entire Yankees lineup as the Red Sox, who began the weekend winless, won the rubber game of this series. But this was not just an April 10 problem.
Jeter is trapped between his old and new swing. He has returned to lifting his front foot a bit, a modification away from what he worked on all spring. He is left, currently, with a long swing and what is projecting as uncertainty for a player defined by his previously unflinching self-confidence.
The results aren't. Like in his career-worst .270 campaign last season, Jeter is not hitting the ball with authority (just one extra-base hit and a .206 average in 34 at-bats). He continues to be unable to drive a ball to the outfield with force. Of the 28 outs he has recorded this year, just three (including a sacrifice fly) have been made in the outfield.
Girardi has insisted he does not want to micro-manage Jeter's every at-bat. But what if the shortstop is limping to 3,000 hits? Does Girardi move Jeter to the bottom of the lineup to chase the 3,000? Does he play Eduardo Nunez a time or two a week?
And what of Posada, who already is unhappy about losing his catching job? Is losing the designated hitter slot next, especially since Eric Chavez is so intriguing? Posada struck out three times last night and is hitless in his last 17 at-bats with eight strikeouts.
It is recognition that, when it comes to icons, this will not just be about moving names around — or out of — a lineup. The implications are so much greater with Jeter and Posada, legends of this franchise.
But Girardi is surely recognizing he might have no other option soon but to disrespect such vital pieces of Yankees history — if he hopes to make more of that history.

Iowa Vendors Came Together to Donate an Entire Wedding to Special Iowa Couple
DES MOINES, Iowa -- A group of wedding vendors came together on Saturday to donate an entire wedding to a special couple.
Newlyweds Holly and Eric Genzen said they weren't sure if they would be able to pull off a wedding because Eric was diagnosed with cancer.
"It all started last fall when Eric got the diagnosis that he had another brain tumor, and shortly after that he proposed and then we started looking into how expensive everything was, and we started to really wonder, like, if we could actually pull off what we wanted to do," Holly said.
Wedding photographer and friend Sarah Urich made a post on Facebook, and vendors from all over central Iowa pitched in to make their dream wedding come true.
"It was perfect. It was a day that we could never have put on ourselves, and the best way to explain it is what you dream of as a little girl, when you're, like, five years old, of what your wedding day will be," Holly said.
The couple said they picked some colors and described their vision, but left it up to the professionals, who made the day everything they wanted.
"This could be messed up and that could be messed up. We can pick the wrong venue, the wrong church, the wrong cake, and have everything be wrong, and the truth is I have the perfect woman that I'm marrying, so I'm going to walk away the winner either way," Eric said.
Whitney Leighton, owner of Little Blackbird Bakery, said she really connected with the Genzens to make them the perfect cake.
"I was so excited creating this cake just because I knew the story behind why I was doing this. And it just gave a little bit more of a reason for me to want to make this just the perfect cake for them," Leighton said.
Originally, the couple thought they might get married in a courthouse.
"Their involvement makes it to where there's a photo album. We went from a courthouse to an actual photo album with beautiful pictures, beautiful backgrounds, beautiful decorations," Eric said.
The teamwork between the vendors made this event very special.
"We're all just small businesses. We don't have huge, deep pockets to pull money from, and for all these individual businesses and individual people to give an entire day of what it is that they do to pay their own bills is amazing. I've never seen it happen before. And it was just really, really cool to be a part of," videographer Laura Beekmann said.
Photographer Amanda Basteen also said it was truly wonderful to be a part of their day.
"One of my best friends let me know about her friend Holly, whose husband had cancer. She said he may not make it to their wedding day. They have three beautiful children and it just struck a chord with me. I've been shooting weddings 10 years and had never had the opportunity to give my services to anyone before, so I volunteered. We had limitations shooting that day because of his light sensitivity, but I wanted to make sure to get them the best photos possible," Basteen said.
They held the wedding at Carper Vineyard and Winery. All of the bar proceeds at the wedding went into Eric's medical fund.
Eric and Holly said each moment they spend together is so precious and they will cherish their wedding day forever.
"We don't get as much time as we used to and also because we don't how long Eric will be around. So it's like, live every moment like it's your last," Holly said.

Ladoke Akintola Univ of TechTeaching Hospital (LAUTECH) Osogbo Sacks Resident Doctors
Suleiman IdrisMay 5, 2016 10:00 am 0
Some members of Resident Doctors at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital (LAUTECH) Osogbo have been sacked.
The Chief Medical Director of LAUTECH, Prof. Akeem Lasisi who confirmed this said the Doctors had to be relieved of their duties because they had overstayed the duration of their residency program.
He explained that the sack followed the forensic audit carried out in the hospital, and that it was not targeted at the resident doctors alone.
"The sacking has nothing to do with the strike embarked upon by the ARD since September 28th, 2015," he said.
However, the President of the Association of Resident Doctors in the hospital, Dr Adeyinka Owolabi insists that the sack is linked with the current industrial action by members of his association.
The Resident Doctors at the Hospital have been on strike for more than seven months, over issues relating to unpaid salaries among others.
He thereby urged President Muhammadu Buhari and well meaning Nigerians to prevail on the state Governor to meet their demands to avoid a collapse of health care delivery in the state.
Owolabi who alleged blackmail and victimisation of his members however maintained that the current strike will continue until all pending issues are resolved.
He also claimed that previous attempts by some stakeholders within and outside the state to resolve the issues had failed.
The Resident Doctors in LAUTECH Teaching Hospital have embarked on an industrial action since September 28th 2015, because of salary impasse occasioned by the economic downturn that affected the state revenue, particularly from federal allocation.

Related Midwest resumes construction of 111 West Wacker Drive
Share Icons
Chicago / Nov 01, 2012
Re-Imagined to become Chicago's Premier Luxury Residential Tower 60-story Building Represents Visible Recovery of Real Estate Market
CHICAGO – Today, Alderman Brendan Reilly of the 42nd Ward and Commissioner Andrew J. Mooney, of the Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development joined Related Midwest to officially commemorate the construction re-start of 111 W. Wacker -- the site of the former Waterview Tower. Once completed, the site will house the premier rental property on the Chicago River between the Loop business district and bustling River North submarket. The Silver LEED designed tower will also bring more than 900 new construction jobs to Chicago, demonstrating a visible recovery in one of Chicago's most prominent real estate locations. The development is scheduled to be complete in the Spring of 2014.
"We are thrilled to restart construction on 111 W. Wacker and transform this long looming eyesore into the premier luxury rental tower on the Chicago River," said Curt Bailey, President of Related Midwest.
"We are grateful for the partnership of Mayor Emanuel, Alderman Reilly and Commissioner Mooney in bringing this development to fruition and creating 900 new construction jobs. 111 W. Wacker continues Related Midwest's rich tradition of market-defining developments and will become the next great addition to the Related rental portfolio representing the finest luxury residential properties in the country."
111 W. Wacker is the site of the former Waterview Tower, planned to include a Shangri-La Hotel and luxury condominiums. In 2008, construction reached the 28th floor but has been stalled ever since. Related Real Estate Recovery Fund (RRERF) acquired the property in July 2011 in a joint-venture partnership with Clark Wacker LLC. RRERF is a distressed real estate fund focusing on the acquisition of distressed loans that were originated for new development, property conversion and renovation, as well as equity positions in properties that require significant repositioning utilizing Related's diverse real estate expertise. Related Midwest redeveloping the property and has re-commenced construction.
Related Midwest partnered with NY-based architect Handel Architects, Chicago-based Epstein, Kara Mann Design, and general contractor Lend Lease U.S. Construction to restart construction. The 950,000 square foot building will include 504 luxury rental units – studios, convertibles, one-, two- and three-bedrooms – with unrivaled amenities and services, and more than 400 parking spaces. The building will also include, unique and signature restaurant and retail spaces accessible from the street level.
"The re-start of this project is a significant signal that the real estate market in Chicago is recovering," said Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Economic Development. "It also signals the inherent strengths of the city's downtown market."
111 W. Wacker is prominently situated on the main branch of the Chicago River at a signature crossroads that bridges the north end of the Loop business and financial district, and is directly across from the vibrant river north cultural and lifestyle district. The Property offers residents spectacular views of Chicago's skyline and architectural features. Additionally, residents will have access to an abundance of transportation options, with stops on each of the city's seven main "El" lines – all located within a few blocks of the building.
Related Midwest is one of the most active players in Chicago development with two ultra-luxury rental high-rise developments totaling more than 1,000 units under construction at 500 North Lake Shore Drive and at 111 W. Wacker. Related Midwest's luxury condominium portfolio includes One Evanston, as well as three marquee South Loop properties that will begin marketing in the first quarter of 2013. Among Related Midwest's successes in the downtown Chicago area are The Residences on Lake Shore Park (comprising 840 Lake Shore Drive, The Pearson, and The Belvedere), the Park Hyatt Hotel and Condominiums at 800 N. Michigan Avenue, and 340 on the Park at 340 E. Randolph Street, the Midwest's first green building.
Related and Related Midwest also have an unwavering commitment to the development and preservation of affordable housing. Related was selected by the Chicago Housing Authority as the master developer of the 35-acre Lathrop Homes redevelopment on Chicago's North Side, and is investing $100 million in Parkway Gardens, revitalizing and preserving the approximately 700-unit affordable housing redevelopment on the South Side of Chicago.
