Research, Publications, Projects
Nan Ellin is Dean of the College of Architecture and Planning (CAP) at the University of Colorado Denver and holds a PhD from Columbia University in Planning with a concentration in Urban Design. Ellin's research, creative work, teaching, community engagement, and administrative activities aim to transform contemporary challenges into opportunities for promoting urban, environmental, community, and institutional health and well-being. Her six books and numerous articles and essays are widely cited and
translated into thirteen languages, and she has been recognized for her research and creative work through awards and speaking engagements worldwide. Ellin's work bridges disciplines and professions, theory and practice, the classroom and community, and academic and general audiences.
Before joining the University of Colorado Denver, Ellin served as Founding Dean of the College of Architecture, Planning & Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Arlington where she oversaw the unification of two schools into one college by engaging faculty and students to craft a mission, vision, academic structure, strategic plan, and sixteen initiatives to achieve the goals. Within two years, eighty percent of the initiatives were implemented including a $1.5 million building renovation, the official launch of the new college in October 2015, a highly successful new Design Build program called Parallel Construction, growth in enrollments and graduation rates, creation of an alumni chapter, a new website, a significant increase in philanthropic giving, and exponential growth in sponsored research.
Ellin previously served as Chair of the Department of Planning at the University of Utah, Planning Program Director at Arizona State University (ASU), Director of the Urban and Metropolitan Studies Program at ASU, and Director of the PhD Program in Environmental Design and Planning in the College of Architecture and Environmental Design at ASU.

For those of you who were unable to attend the East River Fifties Alliance's Town Hall meeting on February 10th I'm pleased to share a summary of the meeting.
Our coalition is showing endurance, strength, support and keen interest in this cause — evidenced by a standing-room-only crowd, civic support, and our roster of speakers.
More than 150 constituents from all over the city and residents of our community were joined by representatives of Community Board 6 and ERFA's allied civic groups – Friends of Upper East Side Historic Districts, CIVITAS, and the Municipal Art Society and Turtle Bay – who attended the meeting in support of ERFA's goal. The event was covered by both TV and print media.
There were six speakers: Two representatives of ERFA's board spoke, and all four of the elected officials who are co-applicants on ERFA's rezoning proposal – State Senator Liz Krueger, Manhattan Borough President, Gale Brewer, and City Councilmembers Dan Garodnick and Ben Kallos – also spoke. The speakers reported on the progress of ERFA's proposal to rezone our neighborhood to include contextual zoning and affordable housing.
ERFA's application has reached the stage where it is ready for "certification" by the Department of City Planning (DCP). Certification is an official acknowledgment by DCP that the application is complete, and thus commences the formal review process that can take several months and, if successful, will culminate in approval of the proposed zoning change by the City Planning Commission and City Council.
The new owner of the 58th Street site, Gamma Real Estate, headed by N. Richard Kalikow, has filed an application with the City to build an 850-foot tower rising to 67 stories. BUT, the City rejected Gamma's application because it is incomplete. Gamma's rush to file – accompanied by a press release announcing their plans – was clearly intended to discourage ERFA's rezoning effort.
As Gamma works to complete what, in reality, is a very complex application, ERFA remains undeterred and fully committed to advancing its rezoning effort. The most immediate necessary next step is for the Department of City Planning to certify ERFA's rezoning application, so that it can move through the remaining steps of the City's review process.
To view portions of the Town Hall meeting, click here.
Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer praised ERFA for blazing a trail not just for this community, but for other parts of the city. And, along with City Council Members Dan Garodnick and Ben Kallos and State Senator Liz Krueger, she stressed that "letters really count." They emphasized the importance of continuing the public letter writing campaign as a powerful way to convince government officials of how seriously the community takes this issue and that we want ERFA's rezoning application to be certified by the DCP without delay.
I am pleased to report that ERFA's supporters have already written more than 1,000 letters to the Mayor and the Chair of the City Planning Commission urging them to approve ERFA's rezoning proposal.
To do your part to advance our shared goal: Please follow the Borough President's advice and send letters of support to the Mayor and the Chair of the City Planning Commission. (Marisa Lago will become CPC Chair beginning March 1st, replacing Carl Weisbrod, but letters can be sent to her now.) You can send letters to the Mayor and Ms. Lago by going to ERFA's website, www.ERFA.nyc and, via the website, sending the form letters which are provided there.
Another way to help is to coordinate the signing and collection of letters in your building. We will drop off an appropriate supply, collect them when they're ready, and then mail them for you to City Planning and the Mayor. Write to info@erfa.nyc for more information.
And, last but not least – ERFA is in a race against time and needs continuing financial support for its rezoning effort, which still involves work by lobbying and other professionals as well as letter-writing by the community.
If you have already donated to ERFA, I thank you and hope you'll consider another contribution. If you haven't, now is your time to join your neighbors and friends to help win this campaign.
Donations of any amount are helpful — $50, $100, $250 or more – to support the next stage of work. Donations can be made by clicking on the red Donate button below, via ERFA's website, or by writing a check payable to the East River Fifties Alliance and mailing it to ERFA, Attn: Donna Chin, 205 East 42nd Street, 6th floor, New York, NY 10017.
"We ask that you and the department continue to disapprove any new or amended applications for the Project and decline to issue any interim permits for foundation, excavation or other work prior to (1) the applicant's submission of a complete application and (2) DOB's completion of review of the full set of new building plans for zoning compliance.
ERFA will continue to update the community on the status of building permits and our request as we have news.
ERFA urges you to make your voice heard and encourage the Department of Buildings to carefully review all applications for the proposed structure at 430 East 58th Street and decline to issue any interim permits for foundation, excavation or other work until the agency has received and reviewed the full set of new building plans by clicking here.

SMPTE and Hollywood Post Alliance to merge
SMPTE has announced plans for a new partnership with the Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA)
By Holly Ashford
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) has announced plans for a new partnership with the Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA). The partnership will begin with SMPTE providing administrative support to HPA, and it is expected to culminate in the merger of the two organisations by May 2015.
The partnership is designed to give both SMPTE and HPA the opportunity to extend their reach and expand their membership while better serving the whole industry from the engineering and technical professionals to the creative community.
"HPA is known not only for its unique brand identity, but also for facilitating open dialogue among all disciplines in the entertainment industry," said Wendy Aylsworth (pictured), president of SMPTE. "Complementing SMPTE's work in standards and education, these qualities will enrich the experience of SMPTE members worldwide, giving them the opportunity to engage in more frequent dialogue with nontechnical and supporting industry professionals. For these and many other reasons, we look forward to extending the HPA brand to a broader global audience."
Leon Silverman, HPA board president, added: "With this partnership, HPA and SMPTE strengthen our collaborative work in addressing how our communities plan for the future of technology and the creative process. For HPA, a closer relationship with SMPTE is also valuable in that it will enable our organisation to extend the reach of our content and our work to a global audience beyond Hollywood."

A new father teams up with the ACLU to take the financial company to task for an outdated leave policy.
An Ohio father has sued J.P. Morgan Chase for discrimination after the company informed him he could not be considered to receive the 16 weeks of paid parental it gives to "primary caregivers." New dad Derek Rotando has taken the company to task with the help of the Ohio chapter of the ACLU, which suggests the company's leave policy violates the 1964 Civil Rights Act and a handful of state anti-discrimination laws.
Rotando, employed by J.P. Morgan for the last seven years, approached the company's human resources department to request leave prior to his son's birth in early June. The company has a bifurcated and uneven policy that provides different amounts of leave based on who is the primary and secondary caregivers. While primary caregivers receive a full four months of leave, secondary caregivers receive just two weeks. Rotando asked that he be considered the primary caregiver.
According to his story, the company responded to Rotando's request by telling him that birth mothers were the only parents automatically considered primary caregivers. In order for him to earn that distinction, they explained, he would have to prove that his partner would be back at work full time (impossible for her as an educator on summer break) or that she was unable to provide any care for medical reasons.
J.P. Morgan is just one of seven large companies that has a policy that restricts leave to dads, according to a report by Paid Leave for the United States (PL+US). The PL+US report singles out J.P. Morgan for the "primary caregiver" caveat in its policy, calling it "an outdated distinction for families where parenting responsibility is shared." Research suggests that parenting responsibilities are increasingly shared by partner. The report cites a Boston College research suggesting a majority of men feel they should share parenting responsibilities equally.
That said, men face significant cultural barriers in being considered equal parents in the eyes of employers. In one lawsuit brought by a Maryland state trooper, the dad was told he could not be considered a primary caregiver due to the fact he couldn't breastfeed. The court eventually ruled in his favor.
The evidence of the importance of fathers to a baby's first few months of life is growing overwhelming. A father who is present for a baby is linked to positive outcomes in nearly all areas of a child's life from the social to the cognitive.
And it appears they'll sue for discrimination until those policies change.


Architecture students at the University of East London (UEL) have played an important, behind-the-scenes role in the rapid and impressive transformation of Broadgate, a 32-acre office and retail estate in the City of London.
Located near the high-speed Crossrail's Elizabeth line, set to open in December 2018, Broadgate, at 100 Liverpool Street, will offer office space, shops, rooftop dining and public spaces – all designed and built according to the highest ecological standards.
But what about the countless engineers, builders, plumbers, carpenters, labourers and other trade professionals who are turning this exciting vision into a reality? UEL's Architecture students helped create an inspiring environment for these essential workers.
It all started in 2017, when Sir Robert McAlpine, a leading UK construction and engineering company, approached UEL with an invitation for students to participate in a competition to design and build welfare facilities for workers to use during the construction phase of redevelopment at Broadgate.
The brief required students to look at ways to provide welfare provision such as toilets, hot and cold water for washing, changing facilities, drinking water and somewhere to eat and rest. They were asked to come up with ideas which would exceed expectations while also safeguarding the health and well-being of workers.
Sir Robert McAlpine worked with UEL and British Land, which owns the Broadgate site, to select a winning design from three shortlisted teams of UEL students.
There were good ideas from each of the teams, so the decision was made to interview and appoint five students from across the three teams to deliver the project.
The UEL undergraduate and postgraduate students selected – Kirk Slankard, Robin Philpot, Darlyn Norlay, Nuno Lopes and John Francis Benedicto – worked closely with Sir Robert McAlpine's framework design manager Jeff Tidmarsh, and contractor Avondale. Avondale sponsored the students' employment for six months.
The welfare facilities, at 1 Finsbury Avenue, opened in October 2017. The space featured a canteen, kitchen, secure storage, showers, toilets and washing facilities for men and women, offices for supervisors, a multi-faith room and an auditorium for daily safety inductions, training and meetings.
One of the quirkier ideas from students was to repurpose fire doors to create walls, dining tables, benches and the auditorium.
The students even utilised an unused Italian restaurant on the ground floor of 1 Finsbury Avenue to set-up a one week public exhibition in June under the aegis of the London Festival of Architecture.
'Reflections on Broadgate - past, present and future' showcased the students' experience, the work of architects employed on the redevelopment of Broadgate, and the site's history, including photographs of the original construction of Broadgate.
The exhibition culminated in an open evening which celebrated the achievements and opportunities of the project, with content put in a catalogue that drew together reflections from a divergent group of people involved with the estate over the past forty years.
UEL students described the experience as "an assault course in architecture and construction" and said they valued the opportunity to grow in professional and personal confidence by tackling real-life challenges, deadlines and collaboration under pressure.
And cooperation between UEL and Broadgate partners continues, with a new competition, announced earlier this year, offering architecture students paid three-month placements to work as part of a small team in Broadgate which is finding ways to enhance public and private space within the area's buildings.
This Broadgate student team project will be unveiled in June, to again coincide with the London Festival of Architecture.
The opportunity is offered in partnership with Allford Hall Monaghan Morris architects, ScotttWhitbyStudio, British Land, and Sir Robert McAlpine.

Réal Ménard, né en 1962, est un homme politique canadien. Il a été député à la Chambre des communes du Canada sous la bannière du Bloc Québécois de 1993 à 2009. Il œuvre depuis sur la scène politique municipale montréalaise.

Biographie

Réal Ménard est né le  dans le quartier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve à Montréal, Québec, Canada.

Il a fréquenté l'école primaire Sainte-Jeanne-D'Arc et l'école secondaire publique Saint-Émile. Il poursuivra des études universitaires à l'Université de Montréal. Il y obtient un baccalauréat en histoire et plus tard une maîtrise en science politique. Il a aussi obtenu un certificat d'études supérieures en éthique municipale à l'Université Saint-Paul d'Ottawa et une licence en droit à l'Université d'Ottawa.

Durant ses études collégiales il travaille comme journalier dans un entrepôt de chaussures d'une grande chaîne commerciale. Parallèlement, en 1984, il est élu président local du Parti québécois de la circonscription de Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

En 1984 il fait connaissance avec la politique active alors qu'il se présente pour le petit parti fédéral qu'est le Parti nationaliste du Québec dans la circonscription de Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

En 1988 il devient attaché politique de la députée provinciale Louise Harel ce qui le contraint à céder la présidence locale du Parti québécois. En 1991, il fonde la section locale du parti politique fédéral militant pour l'indépendance du Québec, le Bloc québécois. En 1992, il est choisi comme candidat pour le Bloc québécois au scrutin fédéral et il abandonne son poste d'attaché politique au bureau de Louise Harel. Il est élu lors de l'élection de 1993 et il devient un député important au sein du caucus du parti. Son orientation homosexuelle en fait également un défenseur des gais et lesbiennes québécois et il est régulièrement associé à différents dossiers associés à cette communauté.

Le , il a annoncé son intention de quitter la scène politique fédérale pour se consacrer avec Louise Harel à la politique municipale montréalaise. Il est élu maire de l'arrondissement Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve lors de l'élection municipale montréalaise de novembre 2009 avec l'équipe de Vision Montréal. Il a été réélu maire de cet arrondissement en  avec une minorité moindre qu'en 2009. Cette fois ci, il s'est présenté sous la bannière de Coalition Montréal. Il est ensuite nommé responsable de l'Environnement et des Parcs au sein du Comité excécutif de la Ville de Montréal par Denis Coderre, le . Il perd les élections municipales de Mercier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve le  dans la vague de défaite de l'équipe Coderre, qui est liée au comportement électoral erratique et impulsif qui marque la politique québécoise.

A board game is a tabletop game that involves counters or pieces moved or placed on a pre-marked surface or "board", according to a set of rules. Some games are based on pure strategy, but many contain an element of chance; and some are purely chance, with no element of skill.
Games usually have a goal that a player aims to achieve. Early board games represented a battle between two armies, and most modern board games are still based on defeating opponents in terms of counters, winning position, or accrual of points.
There are many varieties of board games. Their representation of real-life situations can range from having no inherent theme, like checkers, to having a specific theme and narrative, like Cluedo. Rules can range from the very simple, like Tic-tac-toe, to those describing a game universe in great detail, like Dungeons & Dragons – although most of the latter are role-playing games where the board is secondary to the game, serving to help visualize the game scenario. We are eager to make more famous board games to you!

Not all change is a direct result of human intervention. Sometimes changes can occur over which we have little control. One such example is the case of Dutch elm disease (so-called because most of the early studies of the disease were carried out in Holland, although the disease was first observed in France in 1918). The disease is caused by a fungus, Ceratocystis ulmi, that has the elm, Ulmus procera, as its only habitat and food source. Spores of the fungus are carried by the elm bark beetle, Scolytus scolytus, which feeds on the shoots and young bark of the elm. The beetles breed in the bark of elms, so there needs to be some damage already present to allow them to get under the bark. Once the spores get under the bark, the fungus can start to spread. As the fungus can grow alongside the developing beetle larvae, the newly emerged beetles will themselves carry spores and spread the disease as they fly to new trees. The fungus produces toxins and it also blocks vessels as it grows in the elm. The result of this is that the leaves wilt and the branches die back. Figure 5 shows the cycle of activity.
Figure 5 Diagram showing the life cycle of the fungus Ceratocystis ulmi, the cause of Dutch elm disease, and its connection with the elm bark beetles, Scolytus scolytus.
At first, Elm trees generally recovered from these attacks and the wood, which is used in the furniture industry, could be utilized without loss of value should the tree die. So you would be right in thinking that no serious efforts were made to eradicate the disease. Indeed, by the 1930s it had spread to the USA, probably carried by imported veneer-quality timber. But the elm has considerable amenity value: it is attractive in hedgerows and avenues and is particularly useful as a town tree because it is resistant to fumes and pollutants. For this reason some town councils did take steps to curb the spread of the disease.
However, during the 1970s the fungus suddenly and inexplicably became more virulent, causing the death of the trees. The elm has now been virtually wiped out in the UK. For example, in the whole of southern England the only places where you can still see mature elms are in Brighton and Hastings.
Can you suggest why the elm remains in these two places?
Their councils were prepared to put sufficient resources into efficient eradication of any outbreaks. They were probably further helped by the natural barrier of the treeless South Downs, and the prevalence of onshore winds tending to blow the beetles back across the downs if they started to swarm seaward.
In the north of England and in Scotland, the closely related species, the wych elm, Ulmus glabra, is surviving. One difference between the two species is that, whilst the elm usually propagates by means of suckers (these are, in effect, asexual clones of the parent plant), the wych elm is normally reared from seed and therefore has a broader genetic base. In other words, there is more genetic variation in the population.
Why is genetic variation important?
The more variation there is between members of a species, the better the chance that, in a changing environment, there will be some individuals that have the ability to thrive (or at least survive!) in the new conditions.

Cardi B had social media buzzing and make headlines last week after an Instagram post where she spoke out on the partial U.S. government shut down. Clearly frustrated, the Grammy-nominated star was in support of the 800,000 workers, who were ordered back to work without pay. Along with over 14 million views, Cardi's video post caught the attention of all the major media outlets like CNN and MSNBC. The viral moment appears to have triggered right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren, who took to Twitter to react a few days later, which Cardi responded to on Sunday morning (Jan. 20).
YG's third studio album, Stay Dangerous, is set to arrive this Friday (Aug. 3). With a busy schedule promoting the project, the Compton rapper took some time off to give back to the community. YG donated $150,000 on Wednesday (Aug. 2) to startup company GirlCodeLA. The donation will help young female coders looking to get a start in the competitive field. "Gender bias plays a role in the amount of exposure students receive in regards to technology and coding," said YG in a statement to Billboard.
"This leads to influence future decisions within their field, creating smaller opportunities for diversity. With my donation, I hope they'll be able to expand their reach of future female coders and programmers. I want to make sure I'm doing my part, I got a daughter and I respect the G Code." Along with the generous dontation, YG spent time speaking with young coders during a mentoring session, hadning out free Beats By Dre headphones. Those looking to support can make donations here.

"I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THESE INAUGURATION CROWD NUMBERS TO COME IN," said the Grammy Award-winning singer. "Don't cook the books either Donald. We all know your event was dry. No matter how many times CNN anchors repeat majestic or peaceful transition of power. The world can see America divided and the chaos in the streets." He later turned his focus to Obama, supporting the 44th POTUS for his class.
Taylor Bennett is stepping out to the world, showing bravery and courage. Taylor, brother of Chance the Rapper, took to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 18) to reveal he is bisexual. Just one day ahead of his 21st birthday, the younger Bennett opened up about his sexuality on the social media platform. "My birthday is tomorrow & moving into next year I'd like to be more open about myself to help others that struggle with the same issues," said Taylor.
"Love this man right here, through any and all," said Chance the Rapper in message posted with a birthday celebration video on Twitter. "He has grown into a great man. He's got God and me behind him, he cannot fail he cannot fall." On the music side of things, Bennett is planning to release a new EP in February. Before that, he will drop Broad Shoulders, a film based on his 2015 album of the same name.
Diddy is opening his cheque book and giving back. The Bad Boy mogul has announced he will pledge $1 million to Howard University's School of Business, launching the Sean Combs Scholarship Fund. On Thursday night (Sept. 23), the CEO/rapper made the announcement on stage in Washington, D.C., presenting the cheque to Howard's president Dr. Wayne Frederick during his "Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour" stop.
Usher was the latest artist to appear on BBC Radio 1's hallowed Live Lounge. The iconic entertainer sat down with host Clara Amfo in Los Angeles where they discussed performing with live bands, the sound of his upcoming Hard II Love album due Sept. 16, plus much more.
The 37-year-old then chooses The Chainsmokers' hit "Don't Let Me Down" to cover. Watch the full 35-minute appearance below.


Guest Post: Amanda and Fellow Indianian Hike Rainier — Paolo M. Mottola Jr.
Guest post and photos by Amanda.
Last weekend, I had the privilege to show my friend Natalie the beautiful NW. On Thursday, we started the day off at Pike Place Market, then we headed over to South Lake Union to sail miniature boats on the pond.
On Friday, Natalie enjoyed exploring Tacoma where she found herself eating at Shakabrah and hanging out at the fabulous new Bluebeard Coffee Roasters. I met her there after work, and we hit the lunch buffet at Gateway to India. As you saw, earlier that evening we enjoyed an amazing night on the Puget Sound, courtesy of Paolo's Mom and Steve!
Saturday morning, we hit Shakabrah again and then we were off to Sunrise at Mount Rainier! The drive was about 2 1/2 hours, and we thought we weren't going to see the mountain because we were driving into clouds. But holy smokes that mountain is beautiful. The day was perfect!
Because both of us weren't prepared for mega hiking, we chose to do an easy hike up to Frozen Lake. The trails still had a lot of snow, but the meadow was full of red, purple and yellow wildflowers. I ended up buying a season Mt. Rainier pass for $30, and I know we will get our money's worth. I'm excited and I have a trip planned in a couple weeks!

Q: Can I create a one way symlink? I want to create a one way symlink i.e. I can use it to go to the destination directory but I cannot go back.
Let's say there is a directory called D with two subdirectories S1 and S2. I want to create a link in S1 that points to S2 (let's say ls2 -> ../S2/). If I do cd ls2 and then cd .. then I want to go to D and not S1.
Is it possible?

A: All symbolic links are one-way. As far as the kernel is concerned, after going into /D/S1 and running chdir("ls2"), you're in /D/S2, so if you run chdir(".."), you end up in /D.
If you do this in a shell, after
cd /D/S1
cd ls2
cd ..

you end up in /D/S1. The reason is that the shell does its own tracking of the current directory, and it remembers symbolic links.
You can't disable this shell behavior on a link-by-link basis, but you can disable it when you run the cd command. After running cd ls2, the shell remembers the current directory as /D/S1/ls2:
$ pwd
/D/S1
$ cd ls2
$ pwd
/D/S1/ls2
$ cd ..
$ pwd
/D/S1

To instruct the shell to forget its symlink-aware current directory tracking, pass the -P option to cd. The pwd command also has a -P option.
$ pwd
/D/S1
$ cd ls2
$ pwd
/D/S1/ls2
$ pwd -P
/D/S2
$ cd -P ..
$ pwd
/D

You can also forget the logical tracking when you change into the symlink:
$ pwd
/D/S1
$ cd -P ls2
$ pwd
/D/S2
$ cd ..
$ pwd
/D


I am American, but of Japanese ancestry, so when I'm in Japan, I don't get the "gai-jin" treatment – gawked at, overly praised for rudimentary Japanese, etc.
Hoare went on to tell this strange-but-true phenomenon where certain Japanese are so un-used to dealing with foreigners that they can't quite rationalize one who speaks Japanese. Even though Hoare describes an incident from the early 1960s, as you can see in the above video, this brain cramping still occurs with certain Japanese. Both the story below and the video above are hysterical.
One time, when I was in Kyoto, an old shortsighted couple came up to me. The man asked me in Japanese where the Kiyomizu Temple was. Just as he neared the end of his question, his wife noticed that I was a foreigner and began badgering him. 'Gaikoku no kata desu yo'. ('He is a foreigner.') By that time I had told him in Japanese exactly where the temple was. He was trapped between the information I had given him and the warning from his wife. The problem was that one part of his brain was telling him that he did not speak English, while the other half was telling him that gaijin cannot speak Japanese. I repeated the directions and walked on.
