When Will Your Letter/Package Arrive?
When you mail a letter or package with the United States Postal Service (USPS), unless you pay for tracking, you may no know when it will arrive at its destination. If you mail your rent check on October 27, will it reach your landlord before the end of the month?
The USPS has a handy mapping tool for that. By consulting the map, you can figure out your mail's travel timeline and see a rough portrait of how mail travels throughout the country. For example, a first-class letter mailed from the zip code area that starts with 913 will take 2 days to reach anywhere in the southern half of California and Nevada, but everywhere else in the contiguous US will take 3 days. Guam will take 5 days.
The thing to keep in mind is that these delivery times reflect the USPS's "service standards", which dictate the agency's goals for how long it should take a piece of mail to travel from one zip code to another. It does not reflect reality of every mail delivery time, but it is a good estimate when you can expect that postcard or check to arrive once you stick it in the mail. As of this writing, the map depicts the USPS's service standards as of October 1, 2018. Check it out!


A homeowner in Leeds, UK contacted Geobear to discuss an issue with an extension built onto the side of their property.
The one storey extension was built on standard raft foundations adjacent to the perimeter wall of the house. After a number of years small cracks started to appear on the internal walls where the extension met the original property. Further inspection to exterior walls clearly indicated the extension was rotating away from the property.
Rotation is the term used when and extension or conservatory sinks slightly and pulls away from the main structure, almost like a hinge effect where one side sinks and the entire extended structure moves away from the join.
This problem is common for extensions and conservatories that begin to sink, the causes could be tree roots sucking moisture from the soils, poor drainage or insufficient foundations. But whichever issue it is, Geobear's geopolymer injection can rectify the problem and under the right conditions move the structure back.
On this property the alternatives would include either underpinning the extension or installation of mini piles. Both of these solutions are very long winded and would have involved weeks of inconvenience to the homeowner. These processes would involve major excavation of the garden adjacent to the structure and leave the owners property looking like a construction site.
Comparatively, the Geobear solution is many times faster than underpinning or piling. On this property we could stabilise the extension within two days, which in both direct cost to the customer and in terms of the inconvenience made our solution far more attractive.
The solution Geobear provided was to inject our geopolymer at 1 metre centres around the perimeter wall of the extension. Our material is installed through drilled injection holes meaning minimal disruption to the area. The material is injected to a depth of 2 metres and expands to fill the micro voids in the soil and strengthen it to prevent movement. In this instance the extension was lifted which helped to close the visible cracks.
Your on-site team gave me confidence from the first phone call saying they had delays due to an accident on the motorway, this may not seem important to many but it is the confirmation that customers are important, this approach continued throughout the job.
It was identified that I was interested in the procedure and at each stage they explained fully, this was done in a very professional way and at no time did I feel this was in any way patronising.

Q: Open getter in Kotlin to use it with Mockito - MissingMethodInvocationException Kotlin can automatically create getters for primary constructor parameters (that's great), and all these getters are final (not open) by default.
I have a class (in Kotlin):
open class SongCategory(val id: Long,
                        val type: SongCategoryType,
                        val name: String? = null,
                        var displayName: String? = null,
                        var songs: List<Song>? = null) {
}

I wanted to use it in some Mockito test (in Java):
SongCategory songCategory = mock(SongCategory.class);
// the line below produces MissingMethodInvocationException
when(songCategory.getDisplayName()).thenReturn("Dupa");

This produces MissingMethodInvocationException because Mockito needs the mocked class to be open (not final) and the mocked method getDisplayName() just has to be open but it's not.
I can't make this getter open or create another overriding getter because it's conflicting with a final getter created automatically for a constructor.
I could move these all parameters to a secondary constructor and create all the properties and getters separately. However if I have to write the same boilerplate code as in Java, so what's the sense of using Kotlin then?
Is there some way to use Mockito with Kotlin-compiled getters?

A: Don't open your class just for the sake of testing. Instead try using the compiler plugin to do this for you. You can read about it here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/compiler-plugins.html#all-open-compiler-plugin
Once done, you will be able to use Mockito as any other Java class.

A: Actually, I've found that the syntax to open a getter is quite simple (although it's not in the official documentation):
open class SongCategory(...
                        open var displayName: String? = null,
                        ...) {
}

This opens both the getter and setter for a property.

A: You can try to use PowerMock to deal with final method
or alternatively Javasist and its javassist.Modifier

A: I agree with @Unknown, that there are places where you could use the kotlin-allopen plugin. But in this case, since all you are trying to do is to mock a Kotlin class (that's not open), you just have to add the mockito-inline plugin.
Add the below to your build.gradle:
testImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-core:2.13.0' // use the latest version
testImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-inline:2.13.0'

Welcome back to adventuring, DU Dragons! It's the first day back so campaigns were whisked away to encounter giant mushrooms, defend themselves from the Biscotti Illuminati, possibly fight a litch (but maybe not tho?), and apparently kill a ninja turtle. Comment below with some of your fun memories from your first session!
Heads up! We're having a Town Hall Meeting TODAY (4/7) at 3pm in ECS 200. We'll be going over a lot of changes the exec team has been making to the constitution, since the last time it was revised, we were a little club of about 20 people. Come on down if you have questions and wanna engage in a dialogue with the current e-board about the changes!
Johnathan Rhodes has his vocalist recital TODAY at 1:30pm in Hamilton Auditorium in Lamont!
James Evans is taking commissions for character art! Check out more info here.
Alice Morris will create maps for towns, kingdoms, or any other two-dimensional custom map. Contact her on Instagram, she's The Map Scientist (@themapscientist)!
Speaking of Instagram, Eli Depper is on too! They make maps and digital art as well, and their commissions are also open! Check them out, they're Kraken Treasures (@kraken_treasures) on Insta!
HR Bumgarner and Abby Scadden have a literary comedy podcast called Lit is Lit! If y'all could check out their website, that would be rad!
Chelsie Fincher is creating dice bags! She wants to know how many people would be interested. Email her here if you want more info.
OSD is returning for the Spring Quarter! Our first OSD will be Saturday, April 13th, 2019 from 2-6pm in Sharon's Alcove. Come, hang out, get to know fellow DUDADers, it'll be a great time!
Have suggestions to make OSD even better? Email us! We'd love to incorporate your ideas!
Welcome back, Dragons! We hope you all had a restful Spring Break.
Yes, Spring Break is always too short. Yes, week 1 has already been hectic two days in. But the good news is, soon DnD is starting back up! Rejoice! Huzzah!
Mark your calendars: our first meeting back is Sharon's Alcove on Friday, April 6th at 7pm! Be there or be d6!
Also, the Player's Guild will be resetting, so if you want us to promo your stuff, email us with the deets! Keep it to less than 30 seconds of promo! We love promoting your stuff and we aim to make this family as supportive as possible.
Don't know what group you're in? Don't roll a die, head on over to our placement page and command+F your way to clarity!
Not on our placement page yet? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SIGN UP!
Your overlords exec team members demand it! (No seriously, please sign up).
Also, DMs: send us your snack requests please!
Hello, hello! We hope your week 2 was as fabulous as ours was!
For more information on each of the items, click the bolded text to jump to the sections.
Don't Split the Party! A program we at DUDAD use to keep you safe!
OSD is TODAY, Saturday, September 22nd from 2-6pm in Sharon's Alcove. It's a lot more laid back and chill. Read more below!
We have club supplies to check out!
Be nice to USG, we've got friends in relatively high places.
Pay your dues before the deadline on Friday, October 5th. More below.
T-SHIRTS are still in weirdly low demand. Fill out the form below! If you already have, bug your friends to do it. Unless you don't want a t-shirt.
Snacks are cool, and so is attendance.
Keep the rooms clean! But y'all did, so yay! Go us!
Bones will write a theme song.
Maggie will draw your character.
HR has a poetry podcast.
We're a massive club and we get out after dark. We started the DSTP program so that we can be sure you all get home safely! DMs should coordinate which players go where. If you can't find your DM or they haven't done DSTP, find a board member! We're always the last to leave and we want you to feel safe.
Thank you for doing your part to keep DUDAD safe!
The first One-Shot Day is here! We'll be running OSD in Sharon's Alcove from 2-6pm, and we can't wait!
We only had a couple of DMs sign up so we're welcoming any and all pop-up DMs of any and all skill levels! This is a great, chill way to practice your mad DM skillz.
OSD is also a great way to get to know other DUDADers outside of the formal meeting. Make new friends! Hang out! Run a lazers and feelings sesh! It's gonna be a good time. Don't forget to bring your own snacks.
We have supplies to rent out! Player handbooks, battlegrids, dice, and more! To check out supplies, visit Jordyn Merritt in Sharon's Alcove, find her in one of the middle huddle spots.
There used to be a not-so-nice, anti-USG rhetoric in DUDAD. The exec board does not support this and just wants to remind our players that USG have helped us in more ways than we can tell. A lot of problems lie in the DU Administration overall, but the blame gets pushed onto USG, who are students just like us. We encourage you to keep that in mind and to be kind. And vote! It matters, and if all 100+ of us vote, we make a massive impact on this campus!
We don't want to have to charge dues, but we need to keep the club afloat. If you haven't yet, hand $5 cash to Bones. On Fridays, he can be found in room 201. He's also going to be at One-Shot Day this afternoon, and you can turn them in there as well!
We understand cash can get a little weird. If that's the case, send $5.50 to @dudad on Venmo (the name that'll come up is Hannah Renea Bumgarner. That's HR!) We only charge the extra 50 cents because withdrawing that money comes with fees. Thank you for your understanding!
We've only had 5 interest responses for t-shirts so far, which is unfortunately not enough for us to order and breakeven. If you've already filled out the form and really, really want a t-shirt, remind your friends to!
If you already have a shirt, why not give it a friend? Mountain of t-shirts. All for you. Hoard them like a dragon. Just picture it.
Thank you for keeping the rooms clean!
Don't forget to bring $5 in cash tonight or Venmo $5.50 to @dudad!
If you and a buddy have a $10 bill, that works too! Just make sure you both go to Bones to turn it in.
Turn in all cash dues to Bones in room 201!
Also, if you want specific snacks, tell your DM when they send in attendance!
Be sure to clean your space at the end of your campaign.
We'll see you at Sharon's Alcove in ECS at 7pm!
Last night was the kick-off meeting for DU Dungeons & Dragons and we're so excited to have had such a crazy fun start to the Fall Quarter!
Fill out the census so HR doesn't come after you.
Dues are $5 in physical cash and $5.50 on Venmo (@dudad).
Bones is taking commissions for music.
Maggie is taking commissions for character artwork.
Want a t-shirt? We might order more.
We had over 100 people in attendance last night which is bananas! We're so proud of our club! We went from a single, tiny campaign in a senior's apartment in 2015 to one of the largest clubs on campus in 2018!
Huge shoutout to Jordan Z, Matt, Zach, Maggie, Tabris, HR, Josh, and TJ for stepping in and being backup DMs! Y'all rock and we couldn't have done last night without you.
That being said, there's a lot of y'all to organize! Please be sure to fill out our census form if you haven't already! This will save us a ton of time and energy and hopefully help our club get a little more recognition on campus from USG.
We might be ordering t-shirts again! We'll only be able to order shirts if we have a decent amount of interest because money is difficult. Please be sure to fill out this form to pre-order your shirt. We won't be collecting money until shirts are actually in.
OSDs are back! These are awesome, mini-campaigns that are generally more laid back and low pressure than our typical club meetings.
We ask that DMs sign up ahead of time and we encourage everyone to try out DMing if you haven't. This is a good way to get experience without having to commit to a full quarter! DM signups are due Wednesday, September 19th at 11:59 PM.
The actual OSD is Saturday, September 22nd from 2-6pm in Sharon's Alcove. Come and go as you please, these are generally really chill, laid back, and a good opportunity to get to know players outside of your campaign.
We charge a one-time due of $5 for an entire year at DUDAD. This helps us get snacks and make sure everyone is taken care of. We are hoping to remove dues sometime in the future, but until we get proper funding to support our massive club, dues are just a part of things. We appreciate your cooperation.
You can pay physical cash dues to Bones in room ECS 201. We can only make change based on what we have. If you and another player wanna turn in a $10 or something higher, please come to Bones together with the larger bill.
We've introduced another way: Venmo! We're trying out Venmo for ease and convenience this year. Send $5.50 to @dudad to turn in your dues quickly and easily! We have to charge an extra two quarters because Venmo comes with certain fees. We appreciate your understanding!
Dues are due by week 4. That's the week of Friday, October 5th. Please don't forget! We keep track of who has and hasn't paid and we would greatly appreciate getting that squared away ASAP.
Alex "Bones" Niederberger composes music. Want a short custom composition for your player or campaign? Email him to find out more about his commissions.
Maggie McKenna is an artist and graphic designer. She's taking commission work too! More info here.
Want us to recognize what you're up to? Shoot us an email to have your work, events, and achievements acknowledged in the Player's Guild!
The next meeting is Friday, September 21st at 7pm in Sharon's Alcove!
1st floor of the ECS building. We will be having a much, much shorter kick-off meeting than last night's.
Thank you everyone who came out and was heckin' patient with us! The first session is always bonkers, especially Fall Quarter. Y'all were awesome and we'll see you next week!
Thank you to everyone who sent us awesome nominations for our Executive Board for the 2018-2019 school year!
The nominees are listed below. When you vote, there is an option to abstain from voting for a particular decision, which suggests you'd like another nomination process for that position. Voting will be on Friday, February 26th at 7pm. Please arrive on time! You must put your ballots in by 8pm.
All candidates will be giving a speech, even if they are running unopposed. Paper ballots will be passed out. See you on Friday!

"…The art I create has a playful, optimistic bent to it. They don't take themselves too seriously, while at the same time; don't read as 'one-liners.' I feel they have a real humanist quality, the ability to create an imperceptible connection between the viewer and art. My sculptures are powerful and provocative with an expansive presence, and still they connect personally, even emotionally with people…"

Shown: Painting contractor Mauro Henrique uses a brush to apply color to window trim in a room which also served as a classroom for him to teach proper prep and application techniques on a recent Ask TOH TV episode.
Go top-of-the-line: Regardless of what paint brand you buy, Henrique says to choose the most expensive product in the line. That adds a few dollars per gallon, but better paint makes the job easier, yields better-looking results, and creates a longer-lasting finish.
Check the VOCs: The volatile organic compounds in paint can cause headaches and respiratory irritation, and are known carcinogens. Paints off-gas most during application, and continue off-gassing for weeks afterward. That's why Henrique prefers paints with zero or low VOCs—50 grams per liter or less.
Remove and set aside window hardware, door strikes, electrical cover plates, and light fixtures. As each piece comes off, Henrique tapes on its screws, writes its location on the tape, and puts everything in a bucket in the same room.
Using a 2-inch flat (square-tipped) trim brush, apply two coats of glass-masking liquid. This takes less time than tape and forms a clear, no-bleed barrier. If a little liquid gets on the sash, just wait for it to dry and paint over it.
Open the sash slightly and paint the edges next to the glass with a 1½-inch angled sash brush. Don't touch the lower rail yet. Now coat the sash's top and side faces. A taping knife, shown, keeps paint off jambs and window trim.
As in Step 5, open the sash slightly and paint the inside edges, then the sash face. Now raise it fully and lower the top sash. Paint its bottom rail and any missed parts. Leave both sashes open for at least 90 minutes so the paint can dry.
The fewer open seams there are, the better your wall will look. Cut a caulk tube close to the tip to get a small bead. Squeeze the caulk-gun trigger just enough to maintain a continuous flow of sealant as you pull the tip over the seam. Smooth the bead with a finger wrapped in a damp rag.
Using a light held at a low angle to the surface, look for dings and small holes. Fill them with two coats of water-based wood filler applied with a flexible putty knife. After each coat dries, smooth with 220-grit sandpaper. Fill large, deep holes with a fast-setting, two-part wood filler, and sand before painting.
A brush follows molding contours and leaves a smoother finish than a roller. Ideally, it is wide enough to span the trim's face in one pass, without lapping over the edges. Paint the face, then the edges. When the first coat is dry—in about 90 minutes—apply a second coat.

Edelshausen ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt Schrobenhausen im oberbayerischen Landkreis Neuburg-Schrobenhausen. Der Ort war bis 1972 Gemeindesitz der gleichnamigen Gemeinde.

Geographie
Das Pfarrdorf Edelshausen liegt ca. 5 Kilometer nördlich der Stadt Schrobenhausen an der Staatsstraße 2044.

Geschichte
Edelshausen wird bereits um 790 als Zetileshusun urkundlich erwähnt, wobei ein Adliger names Zetil als Namensgeber des Ortes anzunehmen ist. In der Chronik des Konrad von Scheyern wird Graf Bertold von Burgeck erwähnt, als er um 1107 die Kirche von Edelshausen mit dem Zehent dem späteren Kloster Scheyern vermacht. Im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert sitzen in Edelshausen Ministeriale. Die Hofmark Edelshausen mit Dorfgericht wurde durch Ludwig den Bayern an die Ritter von Kamerberg gegeben, die sie bis 1347 innehatten.  1403 werden die Sandizeller erstmals als Herren der Hofmark Edelshausen erwähnt.  Schloss Edelshausen wurde 1556 bis 1561 erbaut und 1632 im Dreißigjährigen Krieg zerstört. 1652 erfolgte der Wiederaufbau durch Freiherr Ortulf von Edelshausen. 1701/14 wurde das Schloss im Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg zerstört und nicht wiederaufgebaut. Das Schlossgut allerdings besteht bis heute. Mit dem Gemeindeedikt von 1818 entstand die Gemeinde Edelshausen mit den Teilorten Gaishof und Linden. Mühlried, in das mit Wirkung vom 1. Januar 1972 Edelshausen eingegliedert worden war, wurde im Jahr 1978 nach Schrobenhausen eingemeindet.

Q: What features do reversible work have over the irreversible kind? At 6:47 of this video lecture, the professor defines enthalpy for a constant pressure process as
$$ q_{p}= \Delta U + p \Delta V$$
but, I can not understand why the work he implicitly starts referring work as an exact differential. Is this due to it being the reversible kind of work?
and around 36:55 of this lecture, an even stranger thing happens,
$$dU \neq dW$$
unless it is reversible process, but why?
What exactly is the distinguishing difference between reversible and non-reversible work, and what are the consequences of these differences?
In this stack, a similar question is asked and while the answer does make sense, the professor says that the process is adiabatic around 36:15, then, writes the first law. Now, by the definition of first law, isn't
$$ dU = dW$$
Always? or is the first law a statement which changes on what situation which you place it in?

A: OK.  Here are the focus problems I recommend considering:
I have an ideal gas of pressure, volume, and temperature $P_1$, $V_1$, and $T_1$, respectively, in an insulated cylinder with a massless, frictionless  piston.  Initially, the external pressure is also $P_1$.
REVERSIBLE ADIABATIC EXPANSION
I gradually lower the external pressure (reversibly) until the volume has increased to $V_2$.  Determine the final pressure $P_2$ and final temperature $T_2$.  Determine the amount of work done on the surroundings W and the change in internal energy $\Delta U$.  How does the amount of work compare with the change in internal energy?
IRREVERSIBLE ADIABATIC EXPANSION:
I suddenly lower the external pressure to a new value P and hold it constant at this value until the system re-equilibrates.  In terms of P, what is the final volume and final temperature?  What value of P would be required for the final volume to be the same as it was in the reversible case, $V_2$, and what would be the final temperature under these circumstances?  What would be the work done on the surroundings W and what would be the change in internal energy $\Delta U$.  How does the irreversible work compare with the irreversible change in internal energy?  How does the work done on the surroundings in this irreversible case compare with the work done in the reversible case?
SOLUTION TO THE IRREVERSIBLE CASE:
The first law tells us that, for an adiabatic process, Q = 0 and $$\Delta U=-W$$So, for the irreversible expansion described here:  $$nC_v(T-T_1)=-P(V-V_1)$$where n is the number of moles of gas.  Substituting the ideal gas law in this equation for the initial and final thermodynamic equilibrium states gives:  $$nC_v(T-T_1)=-P\left(\frac{nRT}{P}-\frac{nRT_1}{P_1}\right)$$This allows us to find the final temperature T in terms of the final pressure P:
$$T=\left[\frac{1+(\gamma-1)\frac{P}{P_1}}{\gamma}\right]T_1$$where $\gamma=\frac{C_p}{C_v}$.  From the ideal gas law, $$\frac{PV}{T}=\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}$$So, if $V=V_2$ (the final volume that we got in the reversible case), $$P=\left[\frac{V_1}{V_2\gamma+V_1(\gamma-1)}\right]P_1$$

It's the age old question for leaders of any organization. How do you get the right blend of people and technology in order to be successful, profitable and/or meet the key performance indicators by which you measure success?
Most enterprises have a finite amount of dollars and resources to invest, which begs the age-old chicken-and-egg question: Where do you invest as a leader? Systems to support future growth? People to implement this growth strategy? Both? Elsewhere?
It's like the old beer commercial debate – "taste great vs. less-filling." And firms that have cracked the code of people vs. technology will be successful. However, the answer may surprise you.
The answer in that case was both. And it may be the same for today's organizations struggling with the people-technology conundrum.

The Geisel House Project: Holes Incorporated's Role in Preserving History
Jun 3, 2021 | Core Drilling, Job Stories, Wall Sawing | 0
Situated about 70 miles northwest of Houston, Texas is a small town with a big history. Navasota, Texas was up-and-coming as the Civil War began, which is when R. H. Giesel and his wife, Fannie, chose to construct two three-story buildings to serve as a hotel and restaurant. Located near the Houston & Texas Central Railroad Depot, this stone building, originally built in 1860 with a two-story frame porch on the front, beckons to the architecture of the mid-1800s. The town of Navasota suffered a population decline when, in 1862, disgruntled confederate soldiers set fire to a warehouse. The fire damaged so many surrounding buildings, many citizens fled. By the late 1860s, the town was struck with Yellow Fever, and by the turn of the century, was completely lawless and ungovernable. In a current effort toward developing the downtown area to bolster tourism, the Giesel House was given a chance at a new life and a total revamp.
General contractor, B&A Commercial Contractors was hired by owner of the hotel, P.A. Smith Hote, to renovate and connect the two historical buildings, which had acted as the restaurant and hotel, to turn the property into a single boutique hotel. This effort hoped to enliven the downtown area and bring people back to Navasota. All of the original woodwork, wood flooring and concrete walls were to be preserved for the boutique hotel. The contractor also wanted the main wooden beams in both buildings to be carefully preserved during construction. However, new electrical, plumbing and openings needed to be created to connect the two buildings – and that is when CSDA contractor Holes Incorporated was hired.
Holes was initially contracted to wall saw two individual 3-foot by 8-foot openings needed to connect the two buildings. One opening was located on the second floor and the other was on the third floor. B&A Commercial did not know the thickness of the combined walls, so a core drill operator was sent from Holes to drill into the wall and make that determination. Using a Shibuya core drill, it was discovered that the two building walls were a massive 44 inches thick. Since the contractors needed to preserve so much of this building, overcuts were simply not an option. With this in mind, the possibility of wall sawing these openings was ruled out, and wire sawing was chosen as the method of removal.
To prepare for the sawing, Holes operators erected a plastic enclosure around the work areas on both sides of the walls in both buildings to prevent damage to existing surfaces, and protective flooring was installed inside and outside of the enclosure. Spray foam was used inside of the wall to avoid water and slurry from seeping through to lower levels. The walls were made of sandstone, which forced operators to through-bolt all equipment to the wall, as normal anchoring systems would not work.
During the inspection of the layout, the Holes Lead Operator and Field Safety Supervisor, whom Holes had onsite throughout the duration of the project, noticed that the contractor's layout was off by 6 inches because the two buildings were slightly offset. The realization that one building was staggered 6 inches in front of the other caused a bit of panic among everyone, but was quickly and fortunately detected prior to cutting.
The GC, with assistance from Holes operators, installed two lintels prior to saw cutting the door openings. Without the lintels, there was a fear of the sandstone openings crumbling without support. Holes operators used a Husqvarna Hi-cycle chainsaw to saw cut both buildings on either side of the wall to create the lintel opening. Utilizing diamond blades and chains allowed operators to cut the perfectly straight and level lines needed while avoiding the excessive vibration that could risk structural damage to the historical building. The Husqvarna CS2512 wire saw was used to complete the door openings, the wall was then demolished using a small Hilti demo-hammer with a dustless system and dry vacuum. The wall was already falling apart, so the jackhammer assisted in breaking it up into manageable pieces for removal by the Holes team. The pieces were removed from the building with wheelbarrows, using an antique historical freight elevator.
Upon successful completion of the two individual openings, the GC awarded Holes additional work and requested they cut two additional 8-foot-wide by 8-foot-tall openings. These openings, again, were to connect the buildings to create walkways between the two buildings on the first floor. Because the structural integrity of the sandstone walls was a concern, prior to cutting the openings, they had to drill ten 12-inch by 44-inch cores to install five inch-wide I-beams made of structural steel. Once the beams were in place, the cutting could begin!
Despite the challenges with communication between two buildings with two different teams working on multiple different phases of a project, the Holes team was able to complete the wire sawing of four openings totaling 108 feet long by 44 inches deep. In addition, various sized core drilled holes ranging from one inch to four inches were completed and successfully drilled to run wire through both buildings, despite operating this equipment on the antiquated structure with priceless chandeliers hanging beneath them, as well as new drywall. At this phase in the project, much of the construction by the GC was completed and Holes operators had to work carefully around the finished work.
Coordinating and communicating with both teams in both buildings posed a challenge for everyone onsite. With renovations, slurry control, sawing and demolition all happening at once, any incident required both teams to stop working and investigate. Good communication was absolutely key to the success of this job, as it is to so many. Respirable crystalline silica was a concern due to the enclosed nature of the work areas, so Holes operators wore respiratory protection during cutting when working inside the enclosure and dustless equipment was used with dry vacs when available. The Field Safety Supervisor also had all windows open on the elevated floors to allow natural ventilation to assist with mitigating the silica hazard. All saws and core drills are water integrated to allow for a continuous spray of water on the bit or blade during the cutting process. In addition to all other standard personal protection equipment, Holes operators also re-built a handrail system around the staircase on the second floor to protect their workers from falling to the lower level.
The project is ongoing and Holes Incorporated is expecting more work on this project soon. They believe they were chosen due to their reputation in Houston as a leading concrete cutting and demolition company, but the additional work was awarded because of their success and expertise on the initial project. Not only was B&A Commercial Contractor's expectations exceeded by the CSDA contractor, but the owners of the building were as well. Kellie Kimball, Vice President of Holes Incorporated said about the project, "Holes operators did an outstanding job for our client and it was all thanks to our team having a plan, working safe and not backing down from a challenge."
The Holes Companies are service companies specializing in concrete slab sawing, core drilling, wall sawing, wire sawing, pile cutting, concrete breaking, lifting, demolition, GPR scanning, load and haul and anchor bolt installation. The Holes Companies primarily work for commercial and industrial contractors, state highway departments and municipalities.

Constitutional Process
The Weekend that Upended Chilean Politics
Constitutional Process NATIONAL OPINION
Last weekend a watershed election took place. Despite low turnout, those who voted opted for profound change. The result is a deathblow to the political system and a slap in the face of established politics.
They're still shellshocked. They don't quite understand what happened. Neither the government, nor the ruling coalition, nor the ex-Concertación left.
The signal from voters was so powerful that it was not even possible to analyze what caused the drop of 10 percentage points in participation, compared to the plebiscite in October.
But low turnout was surely also a way of protesting a political system that showcased all its deficiencies from the social outbreak on Oct. 18, 2019 onwards. It is no coincidence that in the lowest income areas of Santiago barely 15% voted, versus the high turnout in the more affluent sectors.
President Sebastián Piñera came out on Sunday night, finally saying what he should have said and done a long time ago. He said voters had spoken clearly and that it was time to listen to their demands and concerns. Many headaches could have been avoided if this had happened a few months earlier, perhaps during the debate on the pension fund withdrawals, which the government opposed but many relied on for survival. The president looked haggard, just as the ministers standing behind him and who were surely thinking that their days in these positions were numbered.
The defeat of the right was resounding. Not even in the worst-case scenario did its representatives imagine being so well below one-third threshold necessary to block progressive initiatives in the Constitutional Convention. Only one rightwing governor was elected while even rightwing strongholds like Santiago Center, Maipú district, or Viña del Mar swung left.
Also, nobody predicted the blow independents delivered. Election law is so well stacked against them that winning 48 seats in the Constitutional Convention amounts to a miracle. The best example was the People's List, formed by non-professionals and characters like 'Aunt Pikachu,' which was projected to not gain a single seat. It won 22 of the 155.
Things went badly for the parties of the former New Majority and former Concertación leftwing coalitions too.
Once Chile's largest party, the Christian Democrats barely won a seat in the Convention. It was overtaken by the Approve Dignity list, formed by new left parties of the Broad Front coalition, which gained lots of Constituent seats and won big in the urban districts and the regions.
The elections resurrected the Broad Front. The coalition was marked by divisions but seems to have learned its lesson and enjoys a second chance. And the outstanding results for the Communist Party, beaten and despised by the other traditional parties, show that voters trust the communists more than the elite believes or would like.
Chile Rejects Coalition and Former Ruling Class in Surprising Election Result
Undoubtedly, the new style in politics will be different to the one of the last 30 years. This logic of two large left and right blocks that prevented the entry of other forces has ended. The more moderate opposition will have to deeply reflect and figure out when it stopped understanding the citizenry and why its candidates did not even win 5%.
On May 18, the deadline to register candidates for the primaries expired, and the truth is that this sector should recognize that its candidates don't stand a chance. In fact, the polls signal Senate president Yasna Provoste, a Christian Democrat, as the only one who could unite the entire center-left. The problem? Provoste doesn't want to run and Ximena Rincón will be the Christian Democrat´s candidate.
Gabriel Boric, a Broad Front leader, knows he has more options now than a week ago. And if he gets the signatures required to register as primary candidate, he should run for the Approve Dignity list because the elections shattered any dreams of a grand primary of the entire opposition. What could the former New Majority coalition parties contribute? Almost nothing.
Communist Daniel Jadue, who's also running for president, could fortify his position. He was reelected with 64% as mayor of Santiago's Recoleta district, plus the great result delivered by his Broad Front coalition partners. After the weekend, Jadue emerged as clear presidential frontrunner.
The opposition party that was battered most is the Humanist Party, represented by firebrand Pamela Jiles. She forged her reputation by pushing the 10% pension fund withdrawals, which also seem to be her only policies. A fierce populist, she boosted her partner as governor of Metropolitan region – and failed miserably. At least populism doesn't seem to be an unstoppable force.
On the right, Joaquín Lavín, still the mayor of Santiago's Las Condes district, will have a rocky road ahead. Just weeks ago, he seemed the sure bet for the country's top job, but now he must become even more pragmatic to win the race and votes from across the political spectrum.
Chile has buried a phase of its politics. In less than 10 years, collusion, illegal financing of politics, and inequality have worn out citizens.
This is the end of an era; the end of the long 30-year transition. A new cycle is coming, in which independents, but also the spirit that fueled the social uprising of Oct. 18, 2019 will be reflected in a new Constitution. Post-Pinochetism is over.

I pulled out of Giant Conference because I recently found out a significant number of speakers were being paid, when I had to fight to get my full travel expenses reimbursed. Speakers with whom, I regularly share a stage. I was told when I agreed to speak at Giant in September 2013, that I would have my airfare, hotel and speaker fee taken care of.
The agreement was airfare, hotel plus speaker fee.
In March, every speaker was told that travel would be capped at $500 + $500 for hotel stay. It would then cost me money to speak at Giant, so I regretfully informed them, I would have to withdraw my offer to speak.
One organiser came back to me and said "You're taken care of, don't worry" that they would cover my travel and then a few days later another organiser said they would "still love to have (me) but need to know how much overage (they) are looking at?" – it was at this point I realised budgets must have been squeezed so hard there were no speaker fees, if my economy, international flight was a deal breaker of my attendance.
All of this was being negotiated after all 76 speakers had been posted on the site, selling tickets.
I've since found out that many of the speakers were getting paid. I was given the impression that no one was being paid. It was more a case of, if you didn't ask, it wasn't freely offered.
My time is no less valuable than anyone else on that roster. That's why I've cancelled speaking at Giant Conference.
People are asking where the sexist line came from, that was jumped upon on Twitter. There are non-workshop giving, non-keynote speaker individuals who were granted speaker fees, who are male – these may be the three that Giant note in their blog post. Some females asked about fees or requested fees, who were told no one was being paid, or denied a fee. There's nothing to suggest, at this time, that the problem was mutually exclusive to females – that's just who have come forward.


At Mobile World Congress, LG announced a number of very exciting items. Including new phones, cameras and more, they certainly are not resting on their laurels. One great new item is the LG 360 VR device. The 360 Cam allows you to capture high quality video and photo, and the 360 VR allows you to be fully immersed into it. The 360 VR is a VR goggle that can be connected with the LG G5 by a dedicated cable and works exclusively with the phone. It's a stylish and foldable device that makes for an extremely portable and high quality VR viewer that can be used on the go. Unlike other VR devices that require a smartphone to be inserted in the device, the LG 360 VR is actually quite light, at about 1/3 of the weight of many competitors. If you're an LG fanatic, or just want to up your VR game for the future, the new 360 VR may be the product for you.

10 Things Every Christian Should Know About Islam
July 4, 2013 | Zane Pratt
© Photo by Ali Arif Soydaş on Unsplash
More By Zane Pratt
How We Should (and Shouldn't) Relate to Islam
Common Confusions About Arabs and Muslims
Islam is a fast-growing religion, especially in the Western world. Christians increasingly need to be aware of Islam and, most importantly, how to engage its adherents with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here are 10 things I learned about Islam during my 20 years as a missionary in a Muslim-majority country.
1. "Muslim" and "Arab" are not the same thing.
"Muslim" is a religious term. A Muslim is someone who adheres to the religion of Islam. "Arab," on the contrary, is an ethno-linguistic term. An Arab is a member of the people group who speak the Arabic language. It is true that Islam originated among the Arabs, and the Qur'an was written in Arabic. However, some Arabs have historically been part of the ancient orthodox Christian churches. On the other hand, Islam spread far beyond the Arab world, and today most Muslims are not Arabs. This includes the Turks, the Kurds, the Iranians, the Pakistanis, other South Asian Muslims, the Malaysians and the Indonesians, almost all of whom are Muslim but none of whom is Arab.
2. The word "Islam" means submission.
A Muslim is someone who submits to God. The Islamic conception of who God is, and how he is to be worshiped and served, is based on the teaching of Muhammad. Thus the Islamic creed is: "There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his prophet."
3. There are two major denominations of Muslims.
The two major denominations of Muslims are Sunni and Shi'a. Sunnis are the vast majority, at 85 percent of all Muslims. The split occurred in the first generation after Muhammad's death and was based on a dispute over who should succeed him as leader of the Islamic community.
4. Islamic theology could be summarized as belief in one God, his prophets, his books, his angels, his decrees, and the final judgment.
Islam teaches that humans are born spiritually neutral, perfectly capable of obeying God's requirements completely, and that they remain this way even after they've personally sinned. The need of humanity, therefore, is not salvation but instruction; hence Islam has prophets, but no savior.
5. Islam teaches that Jesus was a great prophet.
Islam affirms that Jesus was born of a virgin, that he lived a sinless life, that he performed mighty miracles, and that he will come again at the end of history. It even calls him a word from God. However, it explicitly denies the deity of Christ and repudiates the title "Son of God" as blasphemous. It also (according to the majority view) denies he died on the cross, claiming that Jesus' visage was imposed on someone else, who was then crucified, and that Jesus was taken up into heaven without tasting death. Islam explicitly denies the possibility of substitutionary atonement.
6. Islamic practice can be summarized by the Five Pillars of Islam.
These are composed of the confession of faith ("There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his prophet"), prayer (the ritual prayers said in Arabic five times a day while facing Mecca and performing the prescribed set of bowings, kneeling, and prostrations), alms (taken as a tax in some officially Islamic countries), fasting (the lunar month of Ramadan, during which Muslim believers fast during daylight hours but can eat while it's dark), and pilgrimage (the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, which every Muslim believer should make once in his or her lifetime).
7. The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists.
In fact, normal Islamic religious law forbids the intentional killing of non-combatants in battle. It also forbids suicide. It's a small minority view that allows these things, and it's a small minority who engage in terrorist activities.
8. Muslims can be some of the friendliest, most hospitable people on earth.
They make great neighbors and great friends. No Christian should be afraid to build a relationship with a Muslim.
9. Muslims need salvation through Jesus Christ.
They are lost exactly like any other non-Christian—neither more nor less than anyone else. Furthermore, Muslims do come to faith in Jesus Christ. It usually takes time, and extended exposure to the Word of God and the lives of Christians, but more Muslims are coming to faith today than at any other point in history.
10. God loves Muslims, and so should we—even those few who are our enemies.
We should love them enough to befriend them, love them enough to make them welcome in our homes, and love them enough to share the gospel with them.
