Record-driven industrydiscourages interactionamong patient, physicians,staff during critical times
Leonard Zwelling
The surgery was supposed to be simple.
It was not.
It was far more extensive and complicated than had been planned and I was in far more pain than I had ever dreamed a person could be in.
Flat on my back in one of the best hospitals in town, I figured I was in good hands. I was wrong.
My surgeon and his residents were of the highest caliber. The nursing and support staff were far less so. Most of the nurses and aides were far more interested in maintaining the integrity of the electronic medical record (EMR) than the integrity of my surgical wound they mostly ignored allowing the residents to care for the hole in me.
Few if any of the nursing staff were trained in America. My medicines kept getting mixed up. I waited for four hours for a simple enema and I never saw the nurses and doctors speak together in my presence. The EMR was the main mode of communication. It was no more accurate than the old system on which I trained called pen and paper.
Fortunately, I am an old doctor with some new tricks. My surgeon, his fifth-year resident, a superb, first-generation American woman whose parents came here from India, and her ultra-competent second-in-command, all gave me their cellphone numbers and we jointly managed my care using text messaging.
I call this "RxTing" and I suggest that before you become a patient in a modern hospital, you go to medical school and get fully trained to care for yourself - or, at least get agile with your thumbs.
It worked like a charm. I was also communicating with my primary-care doctor who was in Austin on Christmas vacation using RxTing. I might have had to beg to get my sheets changed or get help to the bathroom, but my docs were all over me without even having to leave the operating room.
I have written a scathing letter to the CEO of this hospital who, (surprise) is not a doctor. I have not received an answer from him and suspect that I won't, given that four separate "patient experience" representatives visited me over my three-week stay and heard my tale, while expressing their well-rehearsed concern. I never saw anything change.
I am a physician and have been for 40 years. I was a full professor at a major academic cancer center and a vice president there as well. I served on the staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions during the opening debate on the Affordable Care Act. I teach health policy. I write frequently about health care, health policy and biomedical research integrity. But I knew nothing about American health care until I became a patient in a major teaching hospital in a major American city in the largest medical center in the world.
Houston's former Exxon skyscraper built in 1962 is set to become apartment complex
So keep your docs close and your cellphone closer if you want to escape the web of the electronic medical record-driven health care industrial complex led by MBAs, lobbyists and insurance companies.
This is the real problem of American health care. It has no room for doctors or patients anymore. So if you find yourself whisked into an emergency room on the way to an operating theater, just before they put you to sleep, give everyone in the room your cellphone number and make sure you get theirs.

Harry Cobden reached 100 winners in a season for the first time on Saintemilion at Exeter.
In his first campaign as Paul Nicholls' stable jockey, Cobden posted his maiden century of winners as he and the 10-time champion trainer's Saintemilion got the better of a protracted duel with 2-1 favourite Diable De Sivola in the GG Fast Results Chase.
Cobden's hard-earned victory took him to his 100 in a season so far headlined by memorable Grade One successes for Nicholls aboard Clan Des Obeaux and Cyrname, in the King George VI Chase and the Ascot Chase respectively.
He needed to be at his best too on 4-1 shot Saintemilion, leading until being overhauled by Diable De Sivola on the run to the last but battling back and producing an especially good final leap to seal the two-mile-three-furlong contest.
Cobden responded with relief at his latest, landmark win – and delight over his "phenomenal season".
"We probably looked a little bit beat going to the last, but he pinged it, landed running and won nicely in the end," he told Racing TV.
The 20-year-old reflected on a campaign which began with a serious injury after a fall at Market Rasen last summer – soon after being confirmed as Nicholls' new number one – but has turned out to be golden.
"I'm delighted with it, delighted it's happened," he added.
"It was a target at the start of the season – and then I broke my neck and had four months off!
Nicholls' powerhouse stable is, of course, a huge help.
"The quality is there as well as the quantity, so I'm just a very lucky boy to be in this position," said Cobden.


"People should be prepared for a modest lifestyle. Even working professionals can't afford huge houses here. But who needs a mansion when you're out all weekend, shooting through the North Hoback?
"I came here with a bachelor's in physical education, but the demand for medical professionals was so high that I went to nursing school. I work long hours, but my schedule still gives me three or four days a week to ski.
"I moved to Vail to ski—and to get into marketing. After a few years, I started my own company and we carved out a niche promoting outdoors events. As the boss, I impose the 'six-inch rule' whenever appropriate.
"The youthful energy of this town is contagious. If I were in Detroit, I doubt I could start lectures by talking about the foot of powder we got the night before.
"I started out working in a firm of 100-plus lawyers in New Jersey, and this is a much better place to practice. Everyone knows everyone. It's much more relaxing. I mostly ski on the weekends now—but can steal powder days during the week.
"Sneaking in runs before work makes you forget how expensive it is to live here. Also, it's important to find a firm whose training program gets you introduced to the local community.
"It's not easy to work a full-time job and ski 100 days per year, but some of the guys in my office manage it. We'll wake up at 5 a.m., hike a few hours to take one run, then show up to work around 10.
"I came here in 2000 from San Luis Obispo, California, and worked for a local CPA before going out on my own. My client list includes everyone from local shopkeepers to the resorts. Working here is a lifestyle thing; last winter, I tagged every mountain in Summit County and never missed a powder day.
"Aspen is hands-down the most expensive place I've ever been, but wages are better, too. There are plenty of rentals in town, and cheaper, quainter places to live just down the valley. The best part about Aspen is that people ski when it's sunny, not when it snows. And the only times you see lift lines are on holidays.
"I lived here as a kid, then moved back here in my twenties from New York almost exclusively to ski. We bulk up our staff during the summer and work weekends when the mountain is crowded to make sure we get plenty of turns every season.

Auto Suppliers
Buyers to split up bankrupt automotive supplier Gissing
Kurt Nagl
Gissing
Gissing, a subsidiary of a Chinese automotive suppliers, makes interior acoustic and cargo management systems.
A pair of buyers have bid to take over Bingham Farms-based Gissing North America LLC in a plan that would split up the bankrupt automotive supplier.
Southfield-based Angstrom Automotive Group LLC and South Carolina-based CBT Enterprises LLC were winning bidders on pieces of the company's business after it filed for Chapter 11 protection in August.
Angstrom, which makes steel, aluminum and plastic injection parts, won the bid to buy Gissing's plants in Auburn, Maine, and Sidney, Ohio, for $16 million, according to records from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Michigan in Detroit.
CBT Enterprises won the bid to buy Gissing's plant in Sumter, S.C., for $3.5 million.
The deals are not yet final but could close by the end of next week, said Steve Wybo, chief restructuring officer for Gissing and senior managing director at Birmingham-based Riveron Management Services LLC.
Gissing was the first metro Detroit-based automotive supplier to file for bankruptcy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which set off a host of supply chain problems that still hamper the industry. Since then, half a dozen smaller suppliers in Michigan have filed for bankruptcy.
Gissing, a subsidiary of a Chinese automotive supplier, had up to $100 million in liabilities, including $13.3 million owed to Tesla Inc., according to its original filing. Tesla and other customers, including General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis NV, agreed to keep the supplier afloat until it is sold.
Gissing North America manufactured interior acoustic and cargo management systems for Tesla, its largest creditor, as well as General Motors, Ford, Stellantis and Toyota.
The company manufactures interior acoustic and cargo management systems at six plants in the U.S. and Mexico.
Gissing issued a layoff notice last week indicating that nearly 100 employees at its Sumter plant would lose their jobs by Nov. 15, Plastics News reported.
It is unclear how many of those employees would continue on the payroll of the new owner. It is also uncertain what will become of the plants not auctioned off in the bankruptcy, including in Greenville County, S.C., and Mexico.
Wybo declined to comment further on the case.
Angstrom made a $1.6 million deposit following its winning bid, while CBT Enterprises made a deposit of $350,000. The funds will be held in a trust account until the deals close.

About Vivian Hirsch Birkenfeld
These works, verging on the abstract, describe cells and biomorphic shapes based upon photographs taken by a high resolution electronic microscope.
They represent the fight between ill cells, the enemy that menace our bodies from the inside, against chemical fluids that fight them to eradicate them and cure the body. By carving the surface of the painting and "injecting" the green fluorescent fluid into it I act like a Shaman, trying to bring cure to the sick body.
In my work I try to create an aesthetic experience, for myself as well as for the viewers. Thus I try to capture their attention in a web of creation, and compel them to linger a fraction of a second longer in front of it; giving creation another instance of gazing and thought.

Q: Modify file sort by name in vim netrw plugin (old version) in Cygwin? Due to security, tight control of user rights, and understaffed IT, I have very limited opportunities to upgrade my Cygwin installation.  I am using netrw version v149 plugin for vim, which sorts files like so:
20181217.1904+20190101.1954.zip*
20181217.1904+20190102.1731.zip
20181217.1904.zip*

I find this odd, since bash lists the files like so:
20181217.1904.zip*
20181217.1904+20190101.1954.zip*
20181217.1904+20190102.1731.zip

In both cases, the sort is by file name, in ascending order.  However, the netrw sort seems to treat the "+" character as preceding ".", while the reverse is true in the bash sort.
I find the latter to be much more useful, and wonder how it is that the plugin is using a different character precedence.  Is there a simple and pain-free way to get the second sorting scheme in netrw v.149?

A: This can be done. Like open say the directory which contains these files in vim. Then:
Use the r key to set Reverse sorting order.
Then press the s key to sort using a particular style : by name, time or file size.
Hope this helps you somehow mate.
EDIT : If you want to persist say the reverse order and the particular style all the time, then add these to your vim config file :
let g:netrw_sort_by="time"                 "this chooses the style of sorting
let g:netrw_sort_direction="reverse"       "this persists reverse sorting

'There's really nothing like Indiana high school basketball:' All-Stars react to no games and series significance
Dylan Wallace
After holding a top 60 workout at Heritage Christian School in Indianapolis, Indiana All-Star game director Mike Broughton heard some of the girls talking about how someone had the coronavirus in Avon.
Broughton was driving home after the workout, and while thinking about who he might select for the girls Indiana All-Star team, he also had thoughts about how COVID-19 would start to affect schools and life in Indiana if the cases begin to pile up.
With his big event of the year scheduled in June, he had no worries about it being impacted.
Then he sat in his living room as NBA teams were removed from the court, and he started to realize the severity of the issue at hand. The last straw was when the Indy500 announced it would be postponed, because the Indy500 is always a week before the games.
On April 9, the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star series was officially canceled for 2020.
"It was something I didn't want to do unless I was forced to do it," Broughton said. "These kids only get one senior year."
Broughton became the director for the Indiana All-Star game in 2018, becoming just the fifth man to claim the position since its dawn in 1939.
Last year's events were seen as a success by Broughton, as he sat back and watched over 6,000 fans file into Bankers Life Fieldhouse to watch the likes of Trayce Jackson-Davis, 2019 Indiana Mr. Basketball, and Jorie Allen, 2019 Indiana Miss Basketball, as both were committed to IU.
This year, he had already sold around 3,500 tickets by March before he had to cancel the event.
The only other time this event hasn't been played out was in 1943 and 1944, and that was because of World War II.
The Indiana-Kentucky All-Star series started in 1940 for the boys, and Indiana has a 99-44 advantage. The girls were added in 1976, and Indiana also leads Kentucky in that series 50-38. This will be the first time the girls game will be interrupted.
"No way did I ever think it would turn into this," Broughton said on the impact of COVID-19.
When Nijel Pack, a graduating guard from Lawrence Central who is committed to Kansas State, found out it was canceled, he was heartbroken.
One week Broughton had called up all the boys to tell them they made the team, and the next week he had to call them all back to say it was going to be canceled.
"Growing up in Indiana, you always want to be an All-Star," Pack said. "It sucked we had to go out that way."
Kristian Young, a UIC commit from Lawrence North, isn't afraid to admit she cried a little when she received the call from Broughton saying the event can't go on this summer.
"I was devastated when the moment got taken away," Young said. "This was something I worked really for and there was nothing anybody could do about it."
Both Pack and Young were able to experience some of the All-Star flair last year as they were both members of their respective Junior All-Star teams, but the Senior All-Stars get to play the big games against the Kentucky All-Stars in the big venues.
Young said it was nice for a change not having to play against all the talented girls in the state and instead play alongside them.
Pack said it was like a family reunion. He and players like Anthony Leal and Trey Galloway all played for Indiana Elite, so it was always fun to reunite with them on the court.
"We had a lot of fun playing with each other," Pack said. "We were looking forward to playing one last time together before we all went our separate ways."
Despite no games this summer, Broughton still wanted to do something special for the players.
He teamed up with Champion and, together, they made it so all the All-Stars were able to order their jerseys online and have it shipped to their house.
Pack was in the middle of a workout when his dad sent him a picture of the fresh red, white and blue jersey. Pack got number five, which is a special number to him as several of his older family members have worn that number in their careers.
As for Young, she immediately put on the jersey, took a picture with it and tweeted at 2020 Indiana Miss Basketball Sydney Parrish asking to run the All-Star game at the park.
"The kids lost a lot of things, and I felt bad for them," Broughton said on his decision to give them their jerseys. "It was a tough stretch for us because we didn't have any income, but we just felt they deserved it."
The range of disappointment that the games had to be withheld this year was a twisted testament to how deep the roots of high school basketball runs in Indiana.
When Broughton is asked about what he does in his job, he simply replies, "I get to go to the best games across the state all winter long and see the best players. It's a pretty good job."
As for Pack, as he gets ready to join the Wildcats in the Big 12, he said he "loved everything about Indiana basketball." Pack will never forget seeing other small gyms and small crowds across other states' high schools, knowing it was always the opposite in Indiana. Now, he'll always be able to go back to Lawrence Central and see his All-Star jersey in the gym.
Young probably had the best ending to her career as any player this season. After falling short in the 2019 state championship, Young and the Wildcats won the state title at the beginning of March.
"It felt like the fairy-tale came true," she said.
Although there will be no history of the 2020 Indiana All-Stars playing in any games, their names will forever be included in the future booklets and pamphlets that will be made for the coming years.
"There's really nothing like Indiana high school basketball," Broughton said. "Once you're an Indiana All-Star, you're always an Indiana All-Star."

Chaos at Illyria high by IsItMeYet
Plays » Twelfth Night Rated: T, English, Humor & Romance, Words: 1k+, Favs: 4, Follows: 2, Published: 5/28/2014
To Maria it seemed like a boring start to a particularly dull Monday. She followed her normal morning routine to a T. She woke up, showered, brushed her teeth, pulled her long dark hair into a tight bun, threw on a pair of jeans and a large jumper, and walked down stairs to what she knew to be a very bland breakfast awaiting her. Her suspicions were confirmed as she walked into the kitchen, spotting her mother setting two bowls of oat bran on to the table. She ate her cereal in a rush knowing that her friend Toby would be out front waiting in his car ready to take them to school.
Ok yes, Maria was friends with the frat boy of the school. Toby was a smart ass. He was always partying, drinking, and smoking. Albeit Toby was surprisingly smart and witty. He wasn't really as big of a jerk as he seemed, he just had a lot working against him. His mom had died when he was two. The tragedy left his dad a mess and he never really recovered. His dad left Toby to live with his aunt and cousin a year ago. His life kind of sucked, but when he was with Maria things were a little better.
Illyria high was an obnoxiously average school. It was an average building with a bunch of average teenagers running around being averagely dull and stupid. Maria was fed up with it.
Maria hopped out of Toby's cigarette smelling car saying that she would see him at lunch. She scowled at anyone who bothered her as she walked through the crowd of kids. "Hey Maria! How was your wee- oh okay I'll talk to you later!" "Maria did you get the answer to- okaaaay then." She walked straight through the crowd of students to the back wall of the building. Maria found Feste exactly where she always found him, propped up against the brick wall, waiting for her.
"Oooooh, someone's pissy." Feste taunted as Maria stormed over. She gave him the famous death stare. Feste was convinced that if given the chance, Maria's eyeballs could literally throw daggers at the intended victim. "Yeesh, only a joke!" Feste reminded her. "I am so tired of everyone at this school. I'm tired of how boring my life is!" "I would have to agree with you Maria, your life is incredibly boring," Feste continued quickly before he got the stare down again "but if there is one person I know who can turn that around, it's you. Plus you've got me (your dashing and delightful best friend) to help you." She scoffed "You have my attention. What did you have in mind?" Maria and Feste sat against the back wall of their average school, plotting and scheming until they heard the first bell ring.
The next time Maria and Feste saw each other was in the cafeteria. They grabbed their exceedingly unsatisfying school lunch and walked towards their usual table. The table, as you may have guessed, was not a special table. It was an ordinary table that was set in the middle of the back row. Toby was already waiting for them when they reached their destination. He was sitting on top of the table, with his long legs dangling over the edge. "Hello love" Toby said as he gave Maria his famously endearing, goofy smile. "Back at you sweetheart" Feste interrupted. Maria rolled her eyes and took a seat in between Toby and Feste, as she told them her clever plot that would turn Illyria high into rampaging riot.
Olivia walked past their table with a gaggle of giggling girls and galavanting guys trailing behind her. Olivia was rich, conventionally beautiful, and popular. Despite the stereotypes that go along with those identifications, she was not dumb. Although Olivia was smart, her ambition shrouded that fact. Another interesting detail was that Olivia was Toby's Cousin. They didn't get on very well. They didn't hate each other, they just ran in different groups. Toby thought that Olivia was self centered and obnoxious and Olivia thought he was rude and drank too much.
From across the lunchroom two people were noticeably staring at Olivia as she strut over to her spot. The first was Andrew. He was… essentially he was the dumb jock of the school. Dumb jock is a loose term, actually more like an understatement. He was a fantastic sportsman, he was also fantastically stupid. Unlike the typical assumptions made about spectacular athletes, Andrew was not an attractive boy. He was tall and muscular but his face resembled a hogs. The second boy staring at Olivia was a junior named Malvolio. Malvolio was a fairly forgettable person. The only thing that made him stick out in a crowd was his in-your face-know-it-all attitude. Everything about Malvolio screamed uptight, his stiff posture, the stuffy expression he wore continuously, and the way he turned up his nose at everyone and everything as if he were better. As to why they were staring at her was obvious, they fancied her. Malvolio fancied her prominent wealth, popularity, and power. Andrew simply fancied her looks.
Andrew and Malvolio weren't the only ones who liked Olivia. Among the long list of followers was Sebastian and Orsino. Both were good looking and popular. Sebastian was charismatic and kind while Orsino was full of himself and rich. Sebastian, Olivia, Sebastian's best friend Antonio, and Sebastian's twin sister- Viola, always hung out together. Viola and Sebastian were virtually identical and made an incredibly funny duo. Viola was more shy than Sebastian. She was one of the nicest people in the school. It seemed that while Olivia couldn't get enough of Viola, Viola was always more preoccupied with what Orsino was doing.
Illyria high basically had the biggest love triangle ever- more like love Decagon. Olivia liked Viola. Viola liked Orsino. Orsino liked Olivia. Andrew liked Olivia. Malvolio liked Olivia. Sebastian liked Olivia. Antonio liked Sebastian. Feste liked liked Maria. Maria liked mischief. It was a big mess.

BNSF Takes Big Step Forward in Adopting Cutting-Edge Technology
In Glidex®, Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc., Rail, Rail Lubrication, Railroads, Technology by Eric Vantiegham April 25, 2019
Thanks to FAA approval, BNSF has the all-clear to deploy drones as part of its extensive rail inspection and maintenance operation.
This month, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted the BNSF Railway Company an exemption from the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016. The exemption will effectively give the railway operator the leeway to expand its drone — or unmanned aerial system (UAS) — initiatives.
These plans include a wide range of use cases that aim to make the rail and bridge maintenance process easier and safer for BNSF personnel and more effective from an operational standpoint overall. While the exemption doesn't give BNSF a blank check to deploy drones however they see fit, it does mark the beginning of the collaboration between the two entities as BNSF works to maximize its use of this emerging technology.
Hopefully, greater drone usage will help to make rail systems safer for crew, maintenance personnel, and valuable cargo. While drones alone aren't enough to keep rail and bridge infrastructure in prime condition, they can make an important addition to inspection and upkeep strategies when paired with advanced maintenance products.
What the FAA Exemption Approves
The FAA exemption granted to BNSF gives the rail operator several key allowances as it beefs up its drone program. For starters, BNSF will have permission to conduct beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights below 400 feet since this low altitude won't pose a risk of collision with larger aircraft.
BNSF will also be able to follow drone maintenance requirements set by UAS manufacturers rather than FAA mandates and employ UAS pilots with a private pilot certificate and third-class medical certification. Finally, the company will be exempt from FAA airworthiness certificates for drones that wouldn't be a hazard to national airspace systems or the public.
BNSF's Growing Drone Applications
According to the Association of American Railroads, there are 140,000 miles of private rail in the United States, all of which require regular maintenance in order to move cargo and passengers safely and on schedule. While the job of this upkeep has been undertaken by trained personnel, the job is a challenging one. Between intense environmental conditions, difficulty accessing rail infrastructure, and operating on in-use systems, there are risks involved that can pose a threat to the safety of personnel, thus making it more difficult to perform maintenance with accuracy.
With drone technology, however, BNSF is making it easier to inspect rail infrastructure and identify areas that need maintenance. In areas that are hard to reach or that would be dangerous for personnel to access, drones provide a safe, effective way to spot potential issues. Plus, deploying drones in this way doesn't require interruptions to regular operations and it makes it safer to inspect infrastructure when it's in use.
Investing in Advanced Maintenance Methods
As BNSF helps to pioneer new inspection and maintenance strategies through drone deployment, it's clear that rail operators should consider what they can do to make their infrastructure safer for the crew operating it, for the cargo and passengers traveling on it, and for the personnel inspecting it. While UAS technology will likely play an important role in the future of safety inspection, enterprises still need to invest in products that can maintain their infrastructure more efficiently, including Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc.'s Glidex® and Glidex® MC rail switch lubricants.
With the help of these patented products backed by cutting-edge science and more than 40 years of experience supporting railway operators, public and private organizations can be confident that they've invested wisely in rail maintenance.
Indeed, through the proper application of Glidex and Glidex MC, Midwest can help you reduce maintenance time and costs, increase train-handling performance, and more. Thanks to products such as these and experts who know how to apply them, companies like BNSF can pair advanced inspection technology with long-lasting maintenance solutions.


While lots of people need to purchase overhead cranes that may handle a lot of weight, few people need cranes that can handle just as much as 100 tons. Cranes with this kind of weight capacity are fairly rare.
With that said, you will discover a demand for cranes that may support this much weight. If you wish to look for a 100 ton overhead crane design available for sale, you'll be able to achieve that. Moreover, you'll manage to find a crane that provides all of the things you would like.
When you shop for cranes in http://ellsenoverheadcraneservice.com/ , you must select how much weight you will need your crane to manage. It's generally a smart idea to decide on a higher max capacity rather than a lower one. You don't wish to be pushing your crane on the limit each and every time.
However, the situations in which someone must lift 50 tons are rare. If you are looking to get a crane this way, it should be for any reason.
Think of if you really want a crane using this type of weight capacity. Would a 80 ton crane work? Have you thought about a crane that will support 50 tons?
Don't invest a crane this way unless it will be the best selection for you.
Should you be getting a 2 ton overhead bridge crane design suppliers, you most likely want to fulfill some very specific needs. Be sure that your crane can perform a lot more than support a substantial amount of weight. You desire the crane you get to complete every one of the tasks that you require it to accomplish.
Carefully evaluate a crane when you purchase it. Make certain that that particular crane is well-designed for the work you really need it to finish.
If you are intending to get with your crane outdoors, look for a crane that is designed for that. If you are planning to become while using crane indoors, choose a crane which was engineered for indoor use. Be sure that the crane you get works in the manner you really need it to.
It could be a big challenge to find reviews for big best overhead bridge crane price. Because few people need to use these cranes, there are actually not many chances for folks to write down and leave reviews.
Having said that, you will be able to find more information should you need it. Look around and discover if there are actually any reviews available.
Should you aren't seeing any reviews, positive or negative, then you should check to see what individuals are saying concerning the other goods that are made by that brand. In the event the brand has many positive feedback from customers, they probably produce lots of great products.
Are you currently considering finding a 100 ton overhead crane available for purchase? While there are tons of cranes on the market, you should try to receive the best one that you can.

Biden Flexes Military Power: "Right-wing Americans…You Need More Than a Gun"
Publication Staff
September 1, 2022 📰 10:09
President Joe Biden just flexed the ability of the military to put down any right-wing faction of America.
During a late August speech, the president was speaking to a crowd during a rally and told the crowd that "right-wing Americans" need "something a little more than a gun" if they want to "fight against the country."
"For those brave right-wing Americans who say it's all about keeping America safe, America's independence safe…if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15, you need something a little more than a gun…"
Biden's comments have exploded online, racking up more than 2.4 million views on Twitter at the time of this writing. Many tried to draw out what Biden meant exactly by this statement.
Is Joe Biden threatening to use F-15's against American citizens? https://t.co/MQLFqIh0dL
— Alex Bruesewitz 🇺🇸 (@alexbruesewitz) August 30, 2022
Joe Biden says Americans need an F-15 to truly stand up against government tyranny.
Is that his way of saying he supports using military force on US land against US citizens?
— Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte) August 30, 2022
Biden is salivating at the thought of using an F-15 to kill Republicans. https://t.co/7gnKoFysRF
— Matthew Kolken (@mkolken) August 30, 2022
The attacks on conservative Republicans have been ramping up in the last few days. Both Biden and his administration have begun using the label of "MAGA Republican" to describe conservatives, calling them a "threat to democracy."
A DNC advisor went on to call Republicans domestic terrorists. In foreign countries, the U.S. military uses tactics like drone strikes to put down terrorists.
Larry keevill says:
It has not been Biden who is threatening our government and people in power but maga republicans and republican hangers on !!!
He was just giving a response !
I love the way republicans twist everything around to suit their wants and needs !
Maybe if you admit your guy LOST and help get things done instead of being the party of no, it would calm a lot of things down !!!
Also if you look into these so called maga republicans you will find quite a mix of radical groups that are not interested in benefiting our nation !!!
Biden forgets that it is more Republicans than idle-on-the-dole Democrats who pay for those F-15s. And, not a minor fact, the military rank can't stand his fraudulent guts. Unlike Hitler, Stalin, or even Genghis Khan, Biden doe not have the respect nor the fidelity of the U.S. Armed Services. All he has is Mark Milley whose fat a$$ couldn't fit in an F-15 even if he knew how to start one. Biden has to go. And with him, his entire fraudulent administration. And, most of the Satanic Democrat Party.
Dori Hester says:
I thought President Biden said he would be President to both Republicans and Democrats alike. Now we're public enemy number one.

Apple vs FBI: Why You Should Care
featured, ios, Policy, Uncategorized	by David Matthews March 7, 2016
We all remember December 2, 2015. The day of the San Bernardino terrorist attacks. On that day 14 people were killed and 22 more were seriously injured. Among the items seized by the FBI, was an iPhone 5C belonging to one of the attackers, Syed Rizwan Farook. On February 16, a magistrate judge in Riverside, California signed a court order compelling Apple to disable the lock out mechanism so the FBI could brute force Farook's password (basically trying as many passwords as possible until it's found). Alternatively, the FBI could have simply used the iCloud backup (which Apple generally complies with), however, Farook's iCloud password was changed by the FBI. Because the iCloud password was changed, it was impossible for Apple to actually get into the iCloud backups, hence the need for FBI to get inside of the phone. What the FBI wants Apple to do specifically is to create a custom version of iOS (dubbed GovtOS) that circumvents many of the usual security and encryption measures put in place. The FBI has stated that it is only meant to be used this one time on this one phone.
On the same day the court order was issued, Apple CEO Tim Cook, wrote an impassioned customer letter pushing back against what he perceives as government overreach. The federal government is trying to use the All Writs Act of 1789 (which is part of the Judiciary Act of 1789) as justification for Apple's compliance. Many tech companies, including large, high profile companies such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, have come out in support of Apple. However, a poll conducted by Pew Research shows that a little over half of Americans polled are on the FBI's side. Many notable tech blog sites such as The Verge and Ars Technica have also sided with Apple. Likewise, many people who favor civil liberties such as libertarians have sided with Apple. Certainly, the June 2013 disclosures of secret NSA programs by Edward Snowden has many on edge when it comes to government and privacy. So why is Apple resisting working with the FBI? Don't they want to stop more terrorism? There are valid arguments on both sides of this discussion and I'll briefly talk about both sides and let you come to your own conclusions. Here we go:
Argument 1: Apple SHOULD NOT help the FBI
Tim Cook argues in his customer letter that creating a custom version of iOS would essentially create a backdoor into the iPhone. Although the FBI said that this custom iOS would only be used in this one case, it could possibly set a precedent that would compel Apple to create custom firmware (or use the same GovtOS that the FBI wants) for other government entities (foreign and domestic). If the GovtOS somehow got into less than savory hands, that would put almost every single iPhone at risk for compromise. Foreign intelligence services could use it to compromise the iPhone of anyone in their country. Up until this point, the iPhone has been one of the most rock solid mobile platforms in terms of security but this backdoor potentially risks the security of every iPhone owner. In the customer letter, Tim Cook says:
"The implications of the government's demands are chilling. If the government can use the All Writs Act to make it easier to unlock your iPhone, it would have the power to reach into anyone's device to capture their data. The government could extend this breach of privacy and demand that Apple build surveillance software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone's microphone or camera without your knowledge."
Encryption is a foundational aspect to cybersecurity and protects your data from unwanted intrusion. Eroding that foundation puts millions of people at risk.
Argument 2: Apple SHOULD help the FBI
The FBI Director, James Comey, put out a statement in which he outlined the intentions of the FBI regarding iPhone backdoor:
The relief we seek is limited and its value increasingly obsolete because the technology continues to evolve. We simply want the chance, with a search warrant, to try to guess the terrorist's passcode without the phone essentially self-destructing and without it taking a decade to guess correctly. That's it. We don't want to break anyone's encryption or set a master key loose on the land
The FBI maintains that it's request is very straightforward and the quote from Comey above sounds very benign. Terrorism has been at the forefront of United States foreign policy since the devastating attack in September 11, 2001 which killed approximately 3,000 people. Smaller terrorist attacks such as Fort Hood shooting in 2009, the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013, the attack at a Tennessee Marine Corps recruiting center in April 2015, and the recent Paris terrorist attacks in November 2015 have only increased the need for the government to use whatever means to protect its people. The rise of extremist Islamic groups such as ISIS, al-Qaeda, and the civil war in Syria have made people afraid. People want the government to keep them safe as that is one of the primary roles of a government. Apple would be assisting with an investigation that could potentially unveil new plots against the United States. Imagine if Farook's iPhone contained phone numbers, texts, and emails to an ISIS handler. We want the government to protect us, yet if Apple does not comply, it would hinder the FBI's ability to prevent future terrorist attacks. If another attack happens, people will be looking angrily at the federal government wondering why they didn't stop it. The FBI will point to cases like this, in which a private company is unwilling to cooperate with the FBI, and say they have been handicapped. How can the federal government keep us safe if they're constantly prohibited from accessing a criminal's electronic device?
Why this matters to you
As the aforementioned poll suggests, many Americans side with the FBI in calling for Apple to be complicit with the court order to create a custom OS for the FBI. The NSA disclosures by Edward Snowden have brought computer privacy, security, and the role of government into the forefront. Unfortunately, this still brings up tough questions that have to be answered: At what point does the pursuit of privacy hinder our ability to be safe? Conversely, at what point does the pursuit of security hinder our civil liberties and privacy? Is it possible to strike just the right balance between the two? Are they mutually exclusive? Civil liberties advocates will argue that privacy is the right of every person and is fundamental to a free society. Security advocates will argue that you can't maintain absolute privacy while keeping people safe. Tools such as the Tor browser and messaging apps like WhatsApp employ encryption for anonymity and confidentiality. Law abiding people can use these tools to protect themselves from eavesdropping. It is advised to use a virtual private network (VPN) while using an open Wi-Fi network. A VPN protects your data from eavesdropping while on an unprotected network (banking, emails, etc…). Unfortunately, less than noble people can (and do) also use those same tools to plot terrorists attacks. In fact, the terrorists attacks in Paris were coordinated using encrypted apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram. The Tor browser can connect a savvy tech person to the "Dark Web", basically websites that aren't indexed by search engines like Google. Many of these websites host very objectionable material such as child pornography and can facilitate illegal weapon/drug sales, identity theft, and even hired assassinations.
Whatever your position is on civil liberties, it is important the conversation is started by Americans. We have a Constitution that specifically outlines what the federal government can and cannot do and we expect a government to abide by those restrictions. We are only a free country when Americans are able to conduct their affairs from the prying eyes of the government. However, we also have an expectation that our government keeps us safe. We expect the government to do what is necessary and legal to stop those who would do us harm. I'll end this blog post with a quote from the FBI Director's statement:
Although this case is about the innocents attacked in San Bernardino, it does highlight that we have awesome new technology that creates a serious tension between two values we all treasure—privacy and safety. That tension should not be resolved by corporations that sell stuff for a living. It also should not be resolved by the FBI, which investigates for a living. It should be resolved by the American people deciding how we want to govern ourselves in a world we have never seen before. We shouldn't drift to a place—or be pushed to a place by the loudest voices—because finding the right place, the right balance, will matter to every American for a very long time.

Q: How do I pass additional startup parameter for play apps in cloudfoundry When deploying a Play!2 app on cloudfoundry I would like to be able to specify at least one additional parameter to the startup command.
Currently it seems like cloudfoundry uses the start script created by Play2 without any arguments, but to override the default application configuration with specific production values I need it to be called with -Dconfig.resource=prod.conf
I couldn't find any way to do this, maybe through the manifest.yml but I wasn't able to find a specification for how to add this param.
Appart from this I was able to successfully deploy play 2.0 and play 2.1 apps to cloudfoundry

A: Reading the source code for the cloudfoundry tooling I found out that the vcap-staging plugin for play does not honor the "command" attribute in manifest.ml nor does it ask for one. It automatically assume that the application will be started with the "start" (see line 10 in plugin.rb).
However, it does honor the JAVA_OPTS environment variable.
In the end, I was able to do
vmc set-env JAVA_OPTS "-Dconfig.resource=prod.conf"

And get it working as I wanted.

A: One way to achieve this is extracting and uploading the built zip as a standalone app. As you may already tried, put the argument right after the start script as the startup command line when prompted. Although this will bring a certain problem that you cannot take the advantage of the CF provide feature  "auto-reconfiguration" for the services bound and you have to have separate configurations in order to deploy on cloud.


Of the 70,000 or so pedestrians who are injured by cars in America every year, 15,000 of them are New Yorkers, a staggering proportion. With 2.7 percent of the nation's population the city has 21 percent of the injuries. Nearly three-quarters of these occur on crosswalks, and quite a few of them occur when the pedestrian is actually on the sidewalk... Drunken driving accounts for just a few percent of pedestrian deaths, but in 1998 one-third of pedestrians killed by a motor vehicle were legally drunk.


Want to buy Lincoln Premiere?
Lincoln Premiere - this is the car class, produced by the American engineering company Lincoln, the present division of the Ford Motor Company. The car was manufactured in two versions - dvuhdvernyh and chetyrehrehdvernyh - designed for 6 persons.
The first generation of luxury cars Premiere has been carried out in the period from 1956 to 1957-th year. The vehicle was in motion 6-liter engine Lincoln Y-Block V8. It weighed almost 2 tons. Length of 5664mm. Such a long supercar was worth about 4.6 thousand dollars in 1956, which is equivalent to 32 thousands of dollars in terms of 2005. Series Premiere was known for its stylish exterior design, rich interior decoration and for some exclusive features.
In the following years 1958-1960 comes to an era of В«Second generationВ» supercars Lincoln Premiere - the longest car ever produced in the world. Realizing the modern achievements and vintage tradition Lincoln, the new model known under the name of В«uzkoglazyy monster.В» Machine weight in 2,2T were set in motion 7-litre engine MEL V8. For five years of production were collected 484 101 of the car model of Lux-class Lincoln Premiere.
We are grateful to all, who will leave his opinion, the withdrawal or addition to our description of the Lincoln Premiere.


I could make even more money by by-passing the guy we borrow plumbing contractor license from on these builds since Plumbing is my main skill.
I guess your State is different. No such thing as "borrowing" a Plumbing Contractors License in Illinois. That is a violation of the License Law here and can cause revocation of both licenses. You would have to be on the payroll of the person or company with the contractors license.
Please not an "intro is requested" for new members. See the link below.
Seems the link to your home page is outdated also.

We have companies here that the owners of them just have Journeyman and use some guys or gals contractors license. Someone who is just book smart. May or may not have stepped foot in the plumbing field, somehow get past the 3 years of experience requirement, and go take the test. Then they lease out their license per say. I guess State don't care as long as they operate under a license.
I think what he means is that on paper/payroll it appears that they are "working under" the other persons license. I assume his state doesn't require a registered apprenticeship permit so on paper you could easily make it look like anyone is your apprentice.
Yes, we have a apprenticeship certificates. Supposed to be 3 years of experience before you get journeyman or go straight to Contractor.
Not sure how they get past that, maybe they don't and just wait the 3 years to file for testing.

Have You Seen Your Congregation's Snapshot?
Looking in the mirror can have a sobering effect for some of us – and a celebrative effect for others of us. I looked at a friend sitting across from me in a meeting this week and noticed how much thinner his face was looking since he has lost some weight. I looked in the mirror this morning and the face looking back didn't tell the same story. Either way, the Bible does talk about looking in the mirror and not forgetting what you see. When talking about congregations, however, that's a lot harder to do – at least it used to be before having the Congregational Snapshot.
Well, no longer! The Congregational Snapshot brings together 19 pieces of information over a 5 year window to allow you to get a better sense of what is going on in your congregation. I am amazed at how often I hear congregational leaders say that they did not know critical information about their congregation. Now, all this public information is available on line on one page that anyone can print off and share with other congregational leaders.
How do you find your Congregational Snapshot? You can (or soon can) find it four different ways.
· From the Missional Vital Signs opening page (http://www.flumc2.org/yearly.asp) click on the Congregational Snapshot link.
· From the Congregational Excellence web page (www.congregationalexcellence.org) click on the Congregational Snapshot link.
The first time you go to see your Congregational Snapshot, click on the information page and read about the different information there. For example, it explains the significance of trends in the number of children and youth in your congregation. It explains why "POF minus Deaths" is significant. It also explains that pastoral compensation lines are totals representing what the congregation spent in each category for all appointed clergy.
As you look at your Congregational Snapshot, please remember that most of the data there comes from the end of the year statistics and is only as accurate as the data sent into the conference. In looking at some lines, for example the debt line items, we realize that different congregations have interpreted the data being asked for differently.
We hope that this will be helpful in gaining a clearer picture of your congregation – at least by gathering the most significant data about it all on one page.

What defined the best architecture of 2022? As the year comes to an end, we add another chapter to an annual tradition of celebrating the highest achievements in design around the world. This year, our list includes an eclectic array of projects, reflecting a diversity of cultures, geographies and contexts: These are projects that expand the possibilities of what architecture can accomplish — and what it's for.
From an affordable apartment complex in Los Angeles to an innovative long-term care home in Iceland and a cultural memory centre in Bangladesh, many of our picks are focused on community wellbeing, harnessing the power of design to foster social good. And while no unifying aesthetic or trend defines the best architecture of 2022, the projects all draw the eye and — in their own way — lift the heart.
Our full list of the best architecture of 2022 includes:

In Toronto, where glass and steel condo towers reign supreme, the Ace Hotel is a stunning and welcome deviation from the norm. Local award-winning firm Shim-Sutcliffe Architects designed the first Canadian outpost of the popular brand (and one of its first ground-up new builds rather than retrofits) with a definitive nod to the city's architectural heritage. Clad in ruddy precast brick, the building conjures the red-brick warehouses that once populated the city's Garment District, the neighbourhood Ace now calls home. From there, the impressive moves continue to magnify.
An epically swooped Douglas fir-lined canopy frames the street entrance, which opens to a triple-height lobby anchored by a contingent of poured-in-place concrete arches edged in steel. Along with repeating the shape of the exterior, these arches also support the entire structure — with some help from gigantic exposed "knuckles" that connect to underground pillars and transfer the building's load to the foundation walls. Suspended from steel bars, a floating oak-lined mezzanine bar occupies the centre of the soaring atrium and serves as a cap for the sunken restaurant below, itself appointed with a robust materiality of brick flooring, textural bush-hammered concrete walls and sophisticated copper accents. It's a magnificent feat that, as Simon Lewsen put it in his Sept/Oct cover story on the project, is a "heroic design that flaunts its heroism."
While the public spaces are commanding, the private guest suites with their locally sourced and crafted furnishings, Douglas fir accents and muted terracotta and indigo colour palettes have a subdued "Canadiana ruggedness" to them. With the Ace Hotel Toronto, Shim-Sutcliffe's first hotel project to date, a new and intriguing character has been added to Toronto's urban landscape, one that feels individually unique while also thoroughly Canadian.

Not only did Brooks + Scarpa design this vibrant courtyard building in Venice, California, but the firm also worked with the community to ensure that the affordable building project would be a welcome addition to their neighbourhood. After convening four public consultations, and taking stakeholders' feedback into account, the firm won the day with its design. And it's easy to see why.
The Rose Apartments consist of a four-storey mixed-use building with 35 affordable units for people who have aged out of youth facilities, as well as 185 square metres of office space for the Venice Community Housing Corporation (whose original offices on the site were torn down to make way for the development). The exterior is made of cement plaster with a scalloped texture and sparkle grain – it is quite literally luminous. But what makes the architecture especially successful is that it "eschews the solid walls and fences" that characterize housing projects. Instead, the building's densely packed studio apartments radiate around a raised courtyard carved out of the second storey. This openness towards Rose Avenue is balanced by cascading planters – as well as the raised elevation – which provide residents their privacy.
Brooks + Scarpa has consistently delivered housing developments that prove it's possible to integrate affordability and sustainability within a beautiful project that elicits community pride. (Rated LEED Gold, Rose Apartments was designed with passive strategies, including orientation for natural ventilation, as well as active ones, such as solar roof panels; nearly all the waste created in its construction was diverted from landfill.) The firm has also taken on an activist role in helping to shape the very types of legislative changes needed to add more affordable housing throughout California. This project is exemplary of all the ways in which Brooks + Scarpa should be emulated.

Recent horror/comedy movie The Menu parodies the extreme lengths that some chefs go to in their quest to deliver exceptional dining experiences. In past years, new culinary destinations have left us chasing reservations for dinners served on top of the world or even in the depths of the ocean. Maison Owl in Ube, Japan introduces another rarefied dining spot: a cave-like building dug out from a mud trench. And yet perhaps the most spectacular thing about the subterranean restaurant that architect Junya Ishigami designed for chef Motonori Hirata is how intimate it feels.
As we wrote in our original coverage of the project, it helps that Ishigami didn't set out to create something explicitly flashy, but rather to establish an institution that reflected the "roughness of nature." Ishigami's solution involved digging holes into the ground to create moulds that were then filled with concrete, forming a structure that was eventually excavated. As a testament to the project's singular nature, each of its hinged glass windows is custom-sized based on a 3D scan of the resulting frame. Encased in mud, Maison Owl has a rich, earthy appearance that matches the authenticity of the cuisine it serves. Wide arches lead to lush, open courtyards, as well as integrated living quarters that provide a home for chef Hirata and his family at the southern end of the site.

Designing a building on an island where everything needs to be imported requires some savvy construction strategies. In the case of a new art centre in Mindelo, Cabo Verde, local designers Ramos Castellano rose to the challenge by embracing shipping drums as a building material in their own right. The firm's concept for a major addition to the country's National Centre for Art, Crafts and Design (CNAD) transforms 2,532 barrel caps into a vibrant facade treatment, with each steel cap painted one of 15 colours that correspond to the notes in a piece of music by a local composer. These caps are not purely decorative, either: The mosaic screen acts as a second skin, with an access corridor allowing each cap to be tilted to control for daylight and airflow.
As Tapiwa Matsinde wrote in our recent feature about CNAD, Ramos Castellano's clever design solutions are a perfect reflection of the creative ingenuity of Cabo Verde's artistic community. The project's construction is another demonstration of local talent, with Mindelo artisans engaged throughout every step of the build. The architects credit this strategy with helping to promote both local wealth distribution and two-way learning. In other words, CNAD does as much to support art as it does to showcase it.

This forward-thinking long-term care home for dementia patients wholeheartedly embraces circular design — both formally and environmentally. Danish firm LOOP Architects and Reykjavik-based Urban Arkitektar leveraged the building's round floor plate to create a continuous circulation loop, ensuring residents always return home safely when moving around independently. The space prioritizes dignity and autonomy in every regard, offering sensory stimulation via sweeping views of the Icelandic landscape from each unit and a central courtyard that provides areas for therapy and much-needed opportunities for social interaction, along with nostalgic elements that can improve memory recall such as clotheslines and herb gardens.
These feats are made even more impressive when considering the facility's sustainability credentials. The building is certified Very Good by BREEAM, making use of local materials including volcanic ash and FSC-certified wood cladding, and a lush green roof that is deftly integrated into the terrain. It's proof that nursing homes don't have to be the cold and institutional spaces that have become normalized in North America, and that sustainability is indeed an essential component of human-centred design.
Most importantly, the home demonstrates the tangible benefits of Iceland's investment in its people and social programs. As designers the world over grapple with a growing aging population, this project offers many valuable lessons in designing dignified spaces for senior care. As the architects note, "there is great potential in reimagining this typology to centre daily experience, creating stimulating and sustainable places to live."

A successful project does not spring from the vision of a lone genius, but rather the collective vision of its community. The El Salitre Community Centre in Mexico's Jalisco province is paradigmatic of this collaborative approach to design. Local firm Omar Vergara Taller conducted a series of public workshops where Zapotlanejo residents (ranging from community leaders to children) could contribute ideas for the architectural program, and even went so far as to provide training so that they could be involved in its design, construction and operation. The result is a building deeply embedded in its rural context.
Merging technical and artisanal processes, the architects embraced the local vernacular: mud brick walls and handmade slabs of Catalan vault that mitigate the Mexican heat. To that end, the design is driven by the availability of local materials and labour, bolstering the economy of the small farming community which has been impacted by widespread migration to the United States.
The community centre is financially sustained by two cavernous commercial spaces on its ground floor, currently occupied by a grain and fertilizer business and restaurant. They both literally and metaphorically support the public space above — a flexible multi-purpose room defined by its terracotta-toned steel construction, which can be subdivided by foldable walls made of recycled wood panels to accommodate multiple activities simultaneously. The adjacent balcony and rooftop garden offer additional gathering spaces that connect to the street. In all, the vibrant hub serves as a reminder that community-centred projects are most successful when the public is given agency in their design.

You can't miss it. When dusk descends and the lights turn on, the 49-storey tower sparkles in the skyline. Designed by WilkinsonEyre with Adamson Associates, Toronto's elegant CIBC Square is easily among the best Canadian high-rises of the 21st century. Cloaked in a diamond-grid glass envelope, the tower is soon to be joined by a slightly taller twin, with an elevated public plaza (though, controversially, one that's privately owned) bridging across the rail tracks between the two buildings. At the base of the tower, meanwhile, a new inter-city bus terminal introduces another public purpose to the commercial hub — one that will eventually be occupied by close to 20,000 people. Inside, the Gensler-appointed interiors are uncommonly generous corporate spaces, with broad, accessible hallways, ample soft seating and plenty of natural light.

But the jewel of the complex is the CIBC Legacy Room, a sinuous, wood-framed space carved out of the tower's corporate shell. Designed by Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek architect Ryan Gorrie — who leads the Indigenous Design Studio at Brook McIlroy — in collaboration with local First Nations leaders and Indigenous team members, the space transforms what might have been a corporate boardroom into a much more inclusive, welcoming and contemplative space.
Inspired by Anishinaabek teaching lodges and the longhouses of Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat communities — with a trio of ceilings lights that alludes to Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi Council of Three Fires — the space also features Indigenous-sourced furnishings and finishes. Supported by the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, the space is a manifestation of the push for Reconciliation. And it's a room that conveys the feeling of an embrace — for anyone that visits. "It's an Indigenous space, and it's a space for everyone," says Gorrie.

With its handsome red-brick facade, gabled pitched roofs, large oak-framed windows and elegant chimney stacks, the New Library on the campus of 700-year-old University of Cambridge's Magdalene College makes an appropriately dignified statement – one informed by the past but looking to the future. Designed by Níall McLaughlin Architects, the 1,525-square-metre building was recently awarded RIBA's 2022 Sterling Prize, and there's little wonder why.
Passing through the grand wooden front doors into the triple-height entrance hall, students encounter a soothing cathedral-like space that successfully balances privacy with openness. Structured on a tartan grid, the interior is smartly organized around a central double-height reading room that is framed on all sides and levels by smaller rooms, intimate niches and balconies for individuals and groups, as well as narrow circulation paths. Delineating these various spaces are those repeating brick chimneys and other load-bearing brick vertical expanses, that also support the timber floors and book stacks. The intersecting horizontal and vertical planes of brick and wood create an "underlying pattern of warp and weft" that intuitively guides visitors through the space.
Natural light pours in from the lantern skylights under the gable roofs and, coupled with the passive ventilation the chimneys provide, minimizes overall energy use; the engineered timber that instills warmth and tactility was also a conscious material selection to reduce the building's carbon embodied its construction. Timeless, modern and paying homage to its context through materiality and form, the New Library – which is intended to last 400 years – is nothing short of remarkable.

"Today, we have lost our ancestors' way of life — how they have lived for hundreds of years," says Rohingya community leader Master Master Mohamed. "What objects they used. Their food, language, wedding traditions…" Facing a genocide in Myanmar, over 740,000 of the displaced, stateless Rohingya people have fled to nearby Bangladesh, with the world's largest refugee camp created in the border district of Cox's Bazar. Conditions remain dire, with a lack of adequate support, infrastructure and supplies. But the new Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre is a bright spot in this crowded hilly landscape.
Over the course of three years, a UN-supported team of Rohingya artisans and researches gathered a collection of objects reflecting Rohingya experiences, ranging from household furniture and artwork to musical instruments, books of poetry and models of traditional architecture. It's a heritage now gathered — and celebrated — under the roof of the Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre, a living museum where classes and community events renew a centuries-old culture for new generations.
Designed by Bangladeshi architect Rizvi Hassan in close collaboration with the Rohingya community at Cox's Bazar, the complex is an architectural embodiment of its mandate. Constructed by the community it serves, the cultural centre draws on vernacular traditions to create an uplifting — and singularly beautiful — cultural space.

Even when he is working with concrete, David Adjaye brings bold, uplifting colour to his architecture. He did it with Ruby City, a red-hued art museum in San Antonio, Texas, and he's done it again with the Winter Park Library & Events Center in Winter Park, Florida. This 5,184-square-metre complex in Martin Luther King, Jr. Park comprises a trio of pavilions with subtly cantilevered angular facades in rose-hued precast concrete. "The structures tilt forward," Adjaye told Azure, "making external canopies unnecessary, and cool and shaded walkways stretch between them." Their blush of colour enhances the sense that these aren't just buildings – these are sculptural works of art.
With this "micro-village," the architect sought to "create a campus of knowledge, in which the contextual site contained a collection of organic relations." He was inspired by both central Florida's vernacular architecture and its wildlife in conceiving the expressive forms, which house an event centre capped with an elegant rooftop terrace, a two-storey public library and a smaller portico structure that acts as a sheltered outdoor meeting place. As our coverage in the March/April issue notes, the spaces between the structures interpret the intimacy of Florida's traditional porches and front gardens on a public scale.
Adjaye's work continues to astound, and the Winter Park Library & Events Center is no exception — even its programs meant for all ages were conceived as a gift to this humble city north of Orlando.

We start in western Ohio, where residents saw some wild weather earlier in the week. On Monday, the national weather service confirmed an EF1 tornado touched down in Phillipsburg, Ohio. Cameras captured the tornado as it barreled through the small village in Montgomery County, northwest of Dayton.
With a wind speed of approximately 105 miles-per-hour, the tornado was ranked as a one on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which is used to rank tornado strength in the United States. The scale grades tornados from zero to five based on wind speeds.
Several barns and homes were damaged in the area, but no injuries were reported.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared worldwide technology giant Parker Hannifin of Cleveland to market and sell its exoskeleton suit - both for clinical and personal use.
Called Indego, the robotic exoskeleton allows users to stand, or walk. It straps in tightly around the torso and rigid supports are strapped to the legs and extend from the hip to the knee and from the knee to the foot. The hip and knee joints are driven by computer-controlled electric motors powered by advanced batteries. Patients use the powered apparatus with walkers or forearm crutches to maintain their balance.
Parker Hannifin says the exoskeleton represents a major milestone for people who suffer spinal cord injuries, and plans to launch the device in the u-s in the coming months.
And finally, Ohio's capital city is a finalist in a competition looking for the most creative and technology-advanced cities in the United States.
The U.S. Department of Transportation recently named Columbus one of seven finalists in the department's "Smart Cities Challenge." The national competition aims to find a city to fully integrate innovative technologies such as self-driving cars, connected vehicles, and smart sensors into its transportation network.
The agency expects to announce a winner in June. The first place city will receive up to 40 million dollars in federal funds to help that city define what it means to be a "smart city' and help transform the future of transportation.
