About Discoverers' Day in Hawaiʻi (aka Columbus Day)
While the second Monday in October is observed elsewhere as Indigenous People's Day (and federally as Christopher Columbus Day), this day is known throughout Hawaiʻi as Discoverers' Day, in recognition of the Polynesian discoverers of the Hawaiian Islands. While the event is observed on this day, Discoverers' Day is not a Hawaiʻi State holiday. However, some private schools, businesses, or other organizations may close or hold special events in recognition of the day. Read on for more details or to clear up any confusion about what-is-hat.
Discoverers' Day, October 9, 2023, is not a Hawaiʻi state holiday, but may be marked by celebratory events. A few private schools or other facilities may take the day off.
However, Discoverers' Day is also known as the federal holiday Columbus Day, observed by federal employees as a day off.

About Columbus Day
Columbus Day is a U.S. federal holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492. Funded by the Spanish monarchy, Columbus was an Italian-born explorer who set sail in August 1492, intending to establish a western sea route to China, India and lucrative spice trade. From October-December, his three ships, the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria made land in the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola—believing each time he was somewhere in Asia. Columbus made several more voyages across the Atlantic, but never to China or India.
The holiday was unofficially celebrated in a number of cities and states as early as the 18th century but did not become a federal holiday until 1937, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Columbus Day a national holiday due to significant promotion of the holiday by Italian Americans and Catholic Church organizations. For many, the holiday was a way of honoring Columbus' achievements as well as celebrating Italian American heritage.
However, since the 1970s, the significance of Columbus accomplishments have been challenged as representing the violent history of colonization in the Western hemisphere. Columbus Day celebrations have also been challenged by anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic groups, by Native Americans protesting colonization of the Americas that lead to the deaths of millions of Indigenous People from disease and war, and as a harbinger of the transatlantic slave trade, which Columbus established in Hispaniola. Finally, Columbus was not the first "discoverer" of the Americas. Five centuries before Columbus set sail, the Scandanavian Vikings established colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland. In fact, people of Anglo-Saxon descent wanted a federal holiday honoring Leif Erikson as the first European to reach the Americas but did not succeed over the voices of those promoting Columbus.
In 1989, South Dakota became the first state to celebrate Native American Day instead of Columbus Day. Since then, alternative celebrations have been implemented to replace Columbus Day in cities and states across the country.
As of 2021, the holiday is observed as Indigenous Peoples Day to honor the contributions of Native Americans in the following states: Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In addition, Alabama celebrates American Indian Heritage Day, Hawaii celebrates Discoverers' Day, and South Dakota celebrates Native Americans' Day.

About Polynesian Explorers
Polynesians began settling in the Hawaiian Islands between 300 AD – 600 AD—estimates vary widely, and the initial date may be earlier or later. However, it was at least 1,000 years before the arrival of Captain Cook, which changed everything. But Cook is not what Discoverers' Day is about. Everyone is familiar with European "discovery" of the New World, including Captain Cook, Christopher Columbus, Magellan, and the Vikings. However, few people are aware of the history of Polynesian exploration. which surpasses European discovers on many levels. Polynesian explore and discovery of the Hawaiian Islands was an astonishing feat, considering that the Hawaiian Islands are less than 6,500 square miles rising in the middle of more than 70 million square miles of ocean—nearly one-third of the earth's surface. It required considerable courage and skill to travel such distances when the destination was unknown.
Even today, ancient Polynesians are regarded with awe by some (me, at the very least) as the supreme navigators of oceanic travel. They routinely plied thousands of miles in outrigger or double-hulled voyaging canoes for weeks at a time—their vessels averaging 50-75 feet in length, holding 40-100 people. They were guided not by compass, sextant, maps, magnifiers, or other navigational tools used by European explorers. Instead, Polynesians primarily used a "star compass" to determine their position, using their knowledge of the rising and setting point of the brightest objects in the night sky (planets as well as stars) to determine their direction. To supplement the star compas, Polynesian navigators also noticed the flight of birds, cloud formations, ocean currents, wave patterns, and the behavior of sea creatures to tell them whether they might be approaching islands or atolls. On cloudy days, the sun and moon could be helpful.
These earliest peoples brought with them plants and animals considered necessary for survival when landing on uninhabited, relatively barren islands. Plants were necessary not only for food, but also for food wrappers, cordage, basketry, clothing, vessels, tools, drums, lamp oil, medicines, and other daily necessities. Some plants served several of these purposes. A few of the more well-known plants includes ʻawapuhi (ginger), kalo (taro), kī (ti), kō (sugarcane), kukui (candlenut), maiʻa (bananaa), niu (coconut), ʻohe (bamboo), ʻōhiʻa (mountain apple), ōhue or ipu (bottle gourd), ʻōlena (turmeric), ʻuala (sweet potato), uhi (yam), ʻuku (breadfruit), and wauke (paper mulberry). The list of indigenous versus introduced plants fluctuates as science continually uncovers new information about how long a plant has been growing in Hawaiʻi.
Traditional Polynesian navigation methods were nearly lost in modern times. In fact, at one time the nation that Pacific navigation was deliberate was debunked as a stroke of luck. Fortunately, in the 1970s, the Polynesian Voyaging Society (hokulea.com) of Hawai'i built a 60-foot double-hulled ocean voyaging canoe. The vessel was named Hokule'a ("Star of Gladness")—a reference to Arcturus, the brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere and guiding star for Hawaiian navigators. Since then, there have been several voyages to Tahiti and back.

The Sun's move into Aquarius from today may inspire a lighter vibe that can have a very sociable yet independent quality.
The Sun's move into Aquarius from today may inspire a lighter vibe that can have a very sociable, yet independent quality.
If it is possible to reflect over the next day or so then try to do so, Aries. Although the current backdrop indicates that your schedule may be very busy, a few moments contemplation could lead to some helpful conclusions about any key strands. A fresh perspective might make a difference and may lead to a decision that puts things on an entirely new and better footing.
As the focus shifts to the topmost sector of your chart, the coming four weeks can be an opportunity to take stock of your plans and perhaps to relinquish those that may have lost their sparkle. At the same time, another leading aspect can see you standing your ground even though others may try to persuade you otherwise. If your instincts say no, there's no need to feel bad.
Over the coming days a lighter vibe can begin to make itself known which can be a relief if the past few weeks have had a more emotional quality. Mercury your ruler continues in a transformational sector, which can incline you to look beneath the surface for knowledge that comes as a result of deeper analysis, and this could lead to a change of heart regarding a key issue.
Your horoscope suggests that you may feel an adventure would be good for you, especially if it can offset the hard work you have put in over the past year or more. And although this has likely been for a good cause, you can begin to feel that you are due a break and a change of scene. If you do go ahead, it could refuel you on many levels Cancer, allowing you to feel restored.
As the Sun moves into your sector of relating the coming four weeks can spotlight an opportunity to create equilibrium in key relationships by working through any unspoken agendas. However, today's Quarter Moon in a personal sector can also be a call to connect to deeper feelings that may be relevant. Indeed, sharing them in conversation could well encourage further healing.
The planetary picture suggests that you may have a range of resources available to you, and these can include quite subtle qualities such as a healthy optimism combined with realism. Both of these may be needed over coming days should someone's behaviour seem a mystery. Your faith combined with an understanding of their character could swing things to the positive.
You may sense deep down that what you are planning is the best course of action for you. Others might think differently though and may not necessarily agree. While you shouldn't let others' potential criticisms knock you off your stride, it may be wise not to ignore them either. Besides, explaining your position can go a long way towards helping them understand what's going on.
Time can be as valuable a resource as money Scorpio, which is why you may be looking for a way to balance out your various obligations. It can seem that there are not enough hours in the day to do all that might be expected of you, which could leave you feeling overrun. If some demands also seem a chore at times, you may need to be somewhat firm with others to be kind to you.
With the practical yet cautious Saturn in your sign, it's likely that you have given much thought to a decision or perhaps the solution to an issue. Therefore, it isn't necessary to convince yourself that you are doing the right thing. If it feels good deep down then you are likely on the right track. Perhaps this is one of those times when simply going ahead is the best thing you can do.
With a powerful and ongoing focus in a more secluded sector of your chart you may have come to an understanding of how acceptance can often transform a situation, allowing it to heal. Over coming days though, it could be more difficult to reach that point where you can allow an issue to resolve and move on from it, and this may be because something needs to be discussed first.
As the golden Sun moves into your sign from today for a four week stay, this energising influence can boost your spirits and inspire you to make a move regarding ideas you might have been dreaming up over recent weeks. Moreover, this can be a celebration of what it means to be you, as it can feel very self affirming to revel in those things that give meaning to your life.
As Mars in your sign makes an awkward angle to sobering Saturn, you may find the attitude of someone in authority rather exaggerated to the point where it might even seem somewhat amusing. However, this blend of energies suggests that you play along even if you find the situation something of a charade. And you'll stay in their good books, which can be important.

New Lambton Memorial GatesPrint Page
Plaque: 19-February-2016
Photographs supplied by Roger Johnson / Sandra Brown
New Lambton Memorial Gates were erected in memory of those who enlisted in World War One. The four stone pillars of the gates are marble faced and contain the names of those who enlisted.
New Lambton is today paying a tribute of honour to its citizens who have voluntarily responded to the call of the Empire. The imposing roll of honour gates, unveiled this afternoon by Mr. Watkins, M.H.R., are an attempt to preserve to posterity the honour due to the men who evinced a willingness to make the supreme sacrifice in the great conflict of the ideals of right against the forces of might. Today's function is one not only to pay a tribute of honour to the volunteers from New Lambton, but to vindicate for all time the municipality's approval of the principle for which the men have fought and are fighting. The iron, marble and stone have been handled with a workmanlike skill that make the gates and pillars worthy of the cause for which they have been used. The four stone pillars are marble faced on which the names of those who enlisted are engraved. The residents of New Lambton contributed generously towards the cost of the gates, but the main promoting and organising work was carried out under the auspices of the New Lambton Patriotic Committee.

Cabinet approves establishment of Allied Health Council
Staff WriterSeptember 15, 2016
GINA, GUYANA, Thursday September, 15, 2016
The Allied Health Council, a regulatory body formed to enhance and monitor the functioning of various aspects of environmental health, has been approved by Cabinet. The announcement was made by Minister of State, Joseph Harmon during a post -Cabinet press briefing, today.
Minister of State, Mr. Joseph Harmon.
The council's members have been appointed to serve for two years from March 1, 2016 to February 28 2018.
Persons recommended to serve on the council are recognised allied health professionals. Patricia Woolford, who is a Public Health Specialist, is responsible for spearheading the council. Along with Woolford, are representatives from the consumers' organisations, medical associations such as the Medical Technologist Association, the Guyana Physiotherapist Association, the Guyana Association of Rehabilitation Professionals, Nutritionists and Dieticians Association, and the Guyana Radiographers Association.
Minister Harmon said that the council will also include, "the environmental health association of Guyana, of course the consumers association are invited, and the ex officio member of the council is Dr. Shamdeo Persaud, the Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry of Public Health."
Since 2010, the year of the council's initial establishment, it goes through a process of reconsideration at the level of Cabinet at two-year intervals. In 2014, the Allied Health Professions Act was amended to include health professionals who are under the purview of Environmental Health, Counselling and Testing bodies.
The Official Gazette dated March 24, 2012 indicates that the Act will govern the operations of Environmental Health Officers, Public Health Inspectors, Sanitary Inspectors, Port Health Officers and Environmental Health Assistants.
The Council is a regulatory body formed to enhance and monitor the functioning of Environmental Health, a sub-specialty of the field of Public Health which deals with sanitation, hygiene and water among other factors in environmental health.

This chapter examines the aesthetic nationalism of Okakura Kakuzō (Tenshin), with particular emphasis on his notion of a unitary Asia. In Meiji Japan, Okakura's ideas were part of an ideological current that held strongly to nationalist ideas. However, his ideas later came to be associated with what may be retrospectively regarded as "ultranationalism." This chapter first considers aesthetic nationalism as a theoretical concept before discussing the issues raised by the contradiction in Okakura's thought by analyzing one of his texts, The Ideals of the East (1903). It then explores Okakura's views about Japanese art as well as the implications of his concept of a unitary Asia and its intellectual basis in opposing the "West." It also assesses the relationship of Okakura's thoughts to contemporary intellectual currents, along with his awareness that artistic creativity must be based on a forward-looking art history. Finally, it describes the notions of cultural continua used by Okakura to understand Japan, China, and India, and how his writing fits into our current understanding of the postcolonial.Less

This chapter begins by providing some general insights on the conflicting genealogies and epistemologies of Asia and then moves on to concretize the discussion by focusing on Okakura Tenshin's pan-Asianism through a reading of his seminal texts in relation to his curatorial practice. Even as Okakura's Asian ideals are asserted with uncomplicated bravado, one can see how they are submerged in the deceptions of an insufficiently acknowledged, if febrile form of Japanese nationalism. It considers his analogy of the Nation as Museum, described as the Japanese Museum of Asian Civilization. Even if one accepts that Okakura was a nativist and imperialist, this chapter tries to account for the fact that he was intensely loved and admired even by those who had every reason to be alert about the excesses of Empire.Less

This chapter reflects on the adequacy of the word 'cosmopolitanism' to describe the universal avocations of both Rabindranath Tagore and Okakura Tenshin. While both Tagore and Okakura presented themselves to rapt audiences as representatives of 'India' and 'Japan' respectively, they also seemed to transcend their specific national origins as seers of the world who happened to speak exquisite English. After providing some kind of empirical counter to the different ways in which cosmopolitanism is being reclaimed today at a theoretical level, this chapter proceeds to complicate how Tagore and Okakura negotiated their unquestionably privileged world and examines the cosmopolitics of dress and language.Less

This chapter deals with nationalism in a confrontationist mode. It raises some critical questions around Rabindranath Tagore's silence in relation to Okakura Tenshin's representation of Asia. It considers Tagore's envisioning of swadeshi through one of his most powerful essays, 'Swadeshi Samaj', and Bharatbarsha, another motif in Tagore's rhetoric that is drawn from the larger archetypes of the swadeshi movement. Tagore's anti-nationalism continues to bewilder, if not outrage, his most respectful critics, in addition to his more sceptical devotees. From a philosophical reflection, Tagore's views on the nation gradually hardened from the idealization of samaj in the swadeshi period, through the failure of the swadeshi movement, into his withdrawal from the ethos of nationalism.Less

This book explores the convergence of different notions of Asia through the meeting between Rabindranath Tagore and the Japanese art historian and curator Okakura Tenshin in Calcutta in 1902. Set against a panoramic background, it draws on the intersections of the late Meiji period in Japan and the Swadeshi movement in Bengal, weaves through an intricate tapestry of ideas relating to pan-Asianism, nationalism, cosmopolitanism, and friendship, and positions the early modernist tensions of the period within-and against-the spectre of a unified Asia that concealed considerable political differences. In addition to countering the imperialist subtext of Okakura's The Ideals of the East and The Awakening of the East against Tagore's radical critique of Nationalism, it inflects the dominant tropes of postcolonial theory by highlighting the subtleties of beauty and the interstices of homosociality and love. Spanning geographical boundaries, across the cities of Tokyo, Boston, and Calcutta, the book offers new insights into the ways in which the Orient travelled within and beyond Asia, stimulated by emergent modes of vernacular cosmopolitanism.Less

In addition to countering the imperialist subtext of Okakura's The Ideals of the East and The Awakening of the East against Tagore's radical critique of Nationalism, it inflects the dominant tropes of postcolonial theory by highlighting the subtleties of beauty and the interstices of homosociality and love. Spanning geographical boundaries, across the cities of Tokyo, Boston, and Calcutta, the book offers new insights into the ways in which the Orient travelled within and beyond Asia, stimulated by emergent modes of vernacular cosmopolitanism.

Since Meiji: Perspectives on the Japanese Visual Arts, 1868-2000

Research outside Japan on the history and significance of the Japanese visual arts since the beginning of the Meiji period (1868) has been a relatively unexplored area of inquiry. In recent years, however, the subject has begun to attract wide interest. This period of roughly a century and a half produced an outpouring of art created in a bewildering number of genres and spanning a wide range of aims and accomplishments. This book discusses in depth a time when Japan, eager to join in the larger cultural developments in Europe and the United States, went through a visual revolution. This book suggests a fresh history of modern Japanese culture—one that until now has not been widely visible or thoroughly analyzed outside that country. The book explores an impressive array of subjects: painting, sculpture, prints, fashion design, crafts, and gardens. The works discussed range from early Meiji attempts to create art that referenced Western styles to postwar and contemporary avant-garde experiments. There are, in addition, substantive investigations of the cultural and intellectual background that helped stimulate the creation of new and shifting art forms, including chapters on the invention of a modern artistic vocabulary in the Japanese language and the history of art criticism in Japan, as well as an extensive account of the career and significance of perhaps the best-known Japanese figure concerned with the visual arts of his period, Okakura Kakuzō (Tenshin).Less

What Does Harley-Davidson, Inc.'s (NYSE:HOG) P/E Ratio Tell You?
This article is for investors who would like to improve their understanding of price to earnings ratios (P/E ratios). We'll show how you can use Harley-Davidson, Inc.'s (NYSE:HOG) P/E ratio to inform your assessment of the investment opportunity. Based on the last twelve months, Harley-Davidson's P/E ratio is 10.83. That is equivalent to an earnings yield of about 9.2%.
Harley-Davidson maintained roughly steady earnings over the last twelve months. And over the longer term (5 years) earnings per share have decreased 3.1% annually. So you wouldn't expect a very high P/E.
How Does Harley-Davidson's P/E Ratio Compare To Its Peers?
The P/E ratio indicates whether the market has higher or lower expectations of a company. You can see in the image below that the average P/E (9.9) for companies in the auto industry is lower than Harley-Davidson's P/E.
That means that the market expects Harley-Davidson will outperform other companies in its industry. The market is optimistic about the future, but that doesn't guarantee future growth. So investors should delve deeper. I like to check if company insiders have been buying or selling.
Net debt totals a substantial 112% of Harley-Davidson's market cap. This is a relatively high level of debt, so the stock probably deserves a relatively low P/E ratio. Keep that in mind when comparing it to other companies.
Harley-Davidson's P/E is 10.8 which is below average (17) in the US market. It's good to see EPS growth in the last 12 months, but the debt on the balance sheet might be muting expectations.

Irvine Barclay's Star-Studded Season Includes Chick Corea, Performing This Friday
Photo courtesy of Chick Corea
The Chick Corea Trilogy: from left, Chick Corea, Christian McBride and Brian Blade
By Paul Hodgins | October 2, 2019
Jerry Mandel was practically bouncing up and down with excitement when I ran into him last Friday at the Irvine Barclay Theatre. "This is a great week for the arts in Orange County," said Mandel, president of the Barclay. "This weekend we have some of the best dance groups in the country. And next week we have not one but two jazz legends."
Mandel was attending the opening night of the Laguna Dance Festival, which brought together three innovative companies from the U.S. and Canada last weekend for a three-day feast of dance that leaned heavily on accessibility and entertainment without sacrificing depth or quality. Parsons Dance Company, Ballet West and RUBBERBAND gave us a sampling of the kind of work that each company does best.
The festival is a return to form for the Barclay, which featured many well-curated and fascinating dance seasons under its previous president, Doug Rankin, but has changed direction under Mandel, whose personal taste runs more to cabaret and jazz. Let's hope that Mandel was sufficiently impressed by the large crowds that turned out for the festival (Saturday's performance, featuring all three companies, was sold out) to consider bringing LDF – and other innovative dance presentations – back to the Barclay on a regular basis. Clearly, there's an audience for dance there.
Chick Corea Trilogy
WHEN: 8 p.m. Friday, October 4, 2019
WHERE: Irvine Barclay Theatre, 4242 Campus Drive, Irvine
TICKETS: This event is sold out, however, tickets may be available at the box office on the night of the event.
INFO: thebarclay.org
Mandel was even more stoked by the Barclay's big event of the current week: Chick Corea Trilogy. The jazz legend's latest band includes Christian McBride, one of the jazz world's preeminent bass players, and master drummer Brian Blade. "They're sounding as good as any of his groups have," Mandel said. The trio nabbed two Grammy Awards for their first outing, 2014's landmark 3-CD set, Trilogy. Corea, a keyboardist, composer and bandleader with a five-decade career, is the fourth most-nominated artist in Grammy Awards history, with 63 nominations and 22 wins. Trilogy is at the Barclay for one night only this Friday.
Mandel's interest in jazz is intensely personal. He's an accomplished sax player who gigs regularly; you can hear him with keyboardist Ron Kobayashi every week at the Bayside Restaurant in Newport Beach. Years ago, I jammed occasionally with Mandel when he was president of the Segerstrom Center for the Arts (then the Orange County Performing Arts Center). He told me that he was determined to build a world-class jazz series at the Center, which he did. Clearly, he's still well connected to that world.
This season at the Barclay, there are other big names on the jazz series line-up, including singer Diane Schuur, Tom Scott & the L.A. Express, legendary trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, and Grammy-winning organist Joey DeFrancesco. Maybe it's too much to hope for, but I'd love to see Mandel match that kind of star power every season.

Soul's Forums • View topic - First!
Hehe, thank you! I really like it, and it fits pretty much anything I would have a forum for, lol! See if any posts actually show up here, I gotta put one up for the latest version/news yet!
This black font on stone is a bit hard to read though.
The theme itself is very nice!
Hmm, maybe I'll see about lightening it up a bit (the background that is).
The background seems fine to me but you have probably addressed heron's complaint since it was posted. He is also a member of my forum but he hasn't been seen there since 2014 Apr Tue 01, 6:49 pm. Do you have any idea if he is alright?
I can understand real life interfering but it would be nice if such valued members at least revisited periodically.


Earlier this year, I joined nearly 60 Florida sheriffs in endorsing Amendment 6, Marsy's Law for Florida, a proposal that would add clear, enforceable protections for crime victims to the Florida Constitution. If passed by 60 percent of voters this November, Amendment 6 will provide victims with rights and protections that are equal to the rights and protections already provided to the accused and convicted.
Law enforcement officers are usually the first ones at the scene of a crime. We are among the first people victims encounter. We have seen the emotional and physical trauma they have endured. We work tirelessly to help them recover and heal, but without clear constitutional protections in place victims' rights are sometimes compromised, despite our best efforts.
Victims deserve to be notified when the defendant is released from prison. They deserve to be informed of hearings and provided a voice during these events. They deserve to be compensated for their loss. Most importantly, victims deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and compassion. These rights seem straightforward, yet none of the protections listed above are stated in the Florida Constitution in an enforceable manner.
In 2016, 1,457 people were victims of violent crime in Alachua County. Most likely, someone you know is on that list, whether it's family, friends, colleagues or neighbors. The Alachua County Sheriff's Office strives to treat each crime victim the way we'd hope a loved one would be treated in a similar situation, but sometimes our hands are tied. As law officers, we must protect and serve our state while strictly adhering to constitutional provisions. Unlike those accused of a crime, victims do not have specific rights outlined in the constitution. In the eyes of the law, the criminal's rights are stronger than the victim's.
A grieving father is not constitutionally mandated to be notified of any hearings in the trial against his child's murderer. A sexual assault victim might not be permitted to tell the court about the assault's impact on his or her life. An attempted murderer could be released on parole without any regard to the victim's safety. Crime victims and their families already feel powerless about their situation. Not providing them with a voice is demeaning and demoralizing.
I took an oath that I will support: protect and defend our constitution. That means I am committed to upholding the rights of the accused under the Sixth Amendment. I cannot and will not support any measure that disputes their rights. But, I firmly believe protecting the rights of the accused while also protecting the rights of crime victims are not mutually exclusive. Marsy's Law is an excellent policy proposal to meet the needs of all parties in the case.
I am proud to join my colleagues across the state, as well as the Florida Police Chiefs Association and the Florida Sheriffs Association, in lending my support to Marsy's Law. I encourage voters to voice their support for victims' rights on the ballot this fall and vote YES on Amendment 6.
Floridians vote on Amdt 6, Marsy's Law, in Nov.


He's one to keep an eye on, as he successfully predicted the launch of the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro, so his ostensibly dubious foresights shouldn't be dismissed.
The principal flaw in Thong's prediction remains, of course, that it's unlikely Sony would unveil another flagship product so soon after the release of its PS4 Pro.
David Thong, an analyst at Macquarie Capital Securities who boasts good track record on Play Station predictions, believes that we'll see the Play Station 5 rolled out in the second half of 2018.
If it's a Play Station Now-led venture with game streaming being at the heart of the PS5, it could make Sony's console wonderfully compact and near-portable.
If you disagree with any of that, here's everything else we know about the PS5. The Play Station 5, or PS5 as it'll eventually be known, is the inevitable follow-up to the Play Station 4 and PS4 Pro.
The only thing that makes us waver on this front is that it would invalidate compatibility with the AMD-based PS4 and PS4 pro models.
Many photographers featured in Outdoor Photographer use Adjust to create attention-grabbing outdoor scenes.
Whilst we loved the PS4 Pro, one arena it failed to pack any punches in was innovation.

Enjoy reading the story of the Porsche 917-021 – the real one!
The Porsche 917, chassis number 021, was built in 1969 and was part of the first batch of twenty-five 917s.
In April 1970, it was sold to the Finnish AAW team and then painted in the red and yellow colours of its title sponsor. The car's first race, the Monza 1000 kms, was really an extended test session and it saw the flag in eleventh place. Next came the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 km in which Laine-van Lennep improved to fifth overall. Two weeks later tragedy struck at the Nürburgring when Hans Laine was killed in practice in the AAW team's Porsche 908/2.
The 917 did not take part in the following day's race.David Piper and van Lennep drove 021 in the Le Mans 24 Hours, but the Englishman crashed in pouring rain in the Dunlop curve when in third place. He brought the car back to its pit where it was repaired. Van Lennep went back out and was eliminated when a tyre exploded on the Mulsanne straight due to excessive wear caused by the twisted chassis. The 917 was sent back to the factory for repairs. Given the lack of time available before its next race (Norisring) Porsche took chassis 012 from stock. It had been repaired in Stuttgart and all the mechanical components from 021 were grafted onto it and the chassis was renamed 021.
On 28th June it arrived at the Norisring for the Interserie race with a provisional decoration: a white front bonnet and a yellow engine cover. Hans-Dieter Dechent, the Martini boss, then rented 021. He had it painted in the psychedelic mauve and green livery seen on the long-tail 917 (chassis 043) that came second in the 1970 Le Mans 24 Hours. He entered it for van Lennep-Larrousse in the Watkins Glen 6 Hours in the USA and the CanAm event the following day. On 23rd August the Porsche sported a new red and yellow psychedelic livery, the AAW team's colours, for the Keimola Interserie race in which it scored its first win. On 20th September van Lennep clinched victory no.2 in the Zandvoort Trophy.
In the Paris 1000 km 021 retired with blown valves with van Lennep at the wheel. The 917's last race for the Martini team was the Kyalami 9 Hours with Siffert and Ahrens. The car had a 5-litre engine for the South African event and it saw the flag in second place. 021 then went back to Porsche where its engine was removed and installed in the 917 01-021 spyder for the AAW team in 1971. The original chassis and bodywork as sold to Manfred Freisinger in 1972. Three years later Joachim Grossmann bought and restored 917-021. He painted it white, detuned the engine and used it as his road car! In 1983, it was sold to American collector Don Marsh. In 1996, he put it back in to its Watkins Glen configuration although the colours and arabesques did not exactly correspond to the original livery. Bobby Rahal bought 021 in 2002 and sold it on to Juan Barazi the following year.
Vincent Gaye purchased 021 at the end of 2007 and decided to carry out a full restoration. The car turned a wheel for the first time in 2011.
Discover the history and the technical secrets of its legendary 180° V12 engine, the car's soul. Also pictured are its liveries and decorations starting with the classic red and yellow Shell paintwork and finishing with the two psychedelic colour schemes that marked its 1970 racing career.
The book also describes the meeting with Joachim Grossmann, the only other man (with Count Rossi) to have registered a 917 as a road-going car!
The story of the Porsche 917's exceptional restoration and its return to the track will give the reader never-before published insight's into one of the greatest racing cars in the history of motor racing!

Porsche works driver Hans Herrmann inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame – Prestigious accolade
Hans Herrmann inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame
Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is delighted to announce
that a special accolade has been awarded to one of its most successful works drivers.
Hans Herrmann, born in 1928, was inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame
on 16 March 2012. This prestigious award from the organizers of the
famous American racing circuit was announced in the run-up to this
year's 12 Hours of Sebring, which was held for the sixtieth time in 2012.
Also inducted to the Sebring Hall of Fame were the American racing legends
Geoff Brabham, Denise McCluggage, Johnny O'Connell and Jim Downing.
In a racing career spanning from 1953 to 1970, Hans Herrmann was twice
the overall winner at Sebring. In 1960, he won the legendary twelve-hour race
in a Porsche 718 RS60 with Oliver Gendebien, and repeated the feat in 1968,
in a Porsche 908 with Jo Siffert.
He also won his class for Porsche in 1956 and 1966. His first overall victory at
the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1960 was one of the most important wins in
Porsche's racing history.
This was the first outing for the new Type 718 RS60 1.6 liter car, and it ended
in a double victory for the Stuttgart-based manufacturer as the Porsche teams
of Herrmann/Gendebien and Holbert/Schechter crossed the line in front of their
competitors from the 3-litre class.
Hans Herrmann is one of Porsche's most successful works drivers.
Born on 23 February 1928 in Stuttgart, the endurance specialist is
regarded as one of the most reliable and consistent drivers of all time.
Here is a video that I found on Youtube done in 2008 in tribute to his birthday at age 80 in 2008…has some great vintage film and pictures of Hans Hermann
During his motor racing career, Hans Herrmann notched up more than
80 overall wins and class victories for manufacturers such as Porsche,
Mercedes-Benz, Borgward and Abarth. In 1953, 1954 and 1955 he
was German champion in the 1500 cc class, and manufacturers'
World Champion in 1969 in 1970.
Hans Herrmann achieved his greatest victories in cars made in
Zuffenhausen: at the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, the Carrera Panamericana
and in Le Mans, where he achieved Porsche's first overall victory
in a 917 in 1970.
After his triumph at Le Mans, Hans Herrmann retired from active racing
at the age of 42.

Porsche congratulates Derek Bell – Famous works driver celebrates 70th birthday
Happy Birthday Derek Bell!
Porsche congratulates Derek Bell
Stuttgart. Derek Bell, one of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG's most successful works drivers, will celebrate his 70th birthday on 31 October 2011.
Derek Bell (GB), five times winner at Le Mans.
He won two World Sportscar Championship titles in 1985-86, the 24 Hours of Daytona three times in 1986-87 and 1989 and Le Mans five times in 1975, 1981, 1982, 1986 and 1987, mostly teamed with Jacky Ickx in one of the Porsche 936 and Porsche 956/Porsche 962 models. Ickx/Bell is nowadays considered as one of the most famous pairings in motorsport history.
Born in Pinner, Middlesex, Great Britain in 1941, Bell is considered to be one of the most versatile and popular racing drivers of his time.
VIDEO: Derek Bell in car Porsche 956 at Nordschleife. Derek Bell drives and describes a lap in a Porsche 956 around the old Nurburgring
Matthias Müller, Porsche AG's Chairman of the Board of Management has this to say about the birthday boy:
Derek Bell in Monza, 1983
"Derek Bell made motorsport history with Porsche. Whether it was in a 917, 936 or 956 – he was always one of the fastest and above all most reliable drivers. Derek Bell won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times for Porsche. He won the world championship twice. For that we owe him our gratitude and great respect." ~ Matthias Müller, Porsche AG's Chairman of the Board of Management
Derek Bell began his racing career with Lotus in 1964. In Formula 1 he then took his place on the starting grid for Ferrari in 1969. In the 1971 season he drove the Porsche 917 and 908/03 racing cars for the Porsche-Gulf team, forming a successful driver duo with Jo Siffert.

This was followed by appearances in the Porsche 934 and 935 in 1976 and 1977 before Derek Bell took his place on the Le Mans starting grid as a works driver in the 924 Carrera GT. In 1981, together with Jacky Ickx in the Porsche 936/81 Spyder, he won the first of his total of four Le Mans overall victories in a Porsche.
1982 saw the beginning of the Group C era with the Porsche 956 during which time Bell made his mark as one of the most successful endurance drivers of all time.
Derek Bell in Brands Hatch, 1971
VIDEO: Derek Bell in the Porsche 956 gives a running commentary at Brands Hatch.
Together with drivers such as Jacky Ickx, Stefan Bellof and Hans-Joachim-Stuck, he not merely won numerous overall victories in the Types 956 and 962 but also the World Sportscar Championship in 1985 and 1986.
Derek Bell remains in close contact with Porsche to this very day, constantly undertaking ambassadorial tasks for the Stuttgart-based sportscar manufacturer, such as for example at the Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring or at this year's Corso to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the car.

There's no question that Derek Bell also remained faithful to the Porsche brand off the race track:
To this very day he can be seen on Britain's roads driving a 1981 vintage Porsche 924 Carrera GTS.
Derek Bell's GTS, a special one in that it has a factory fitted road interior with carpets and road seats, one of only 2 done like that.

New Jersey Revised Statutes § 40:55d-23.1 - Alternate Members
40:55D-23.1. Alternate members
13. The governing body of any municipality in which the planning board exercises the powers of the board of adjustment pursuant to subsection c. of section 16 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-25) may, by ordinance, provide for the appointment to the planning board of not more than four alternate members, who shall be municipal residents.

The Space to Have a Voice
by Sindhu Mahadevan on August 13, 2021 Read in 8 min
There are many ways to deny someone a voice — shaming, guilting, intimidating, dismissing, othering. But another, particularly pernicious way is to call into question their right to have a voice in the first place.
"If it's so bad, go back to your country"
"You should be grateful"
"Oh, but you're still here despite it all!"
As an immigrant, this is the brand I commonly interface when I comment on the deep dysfunction that American immigration system finds itself in. A system whose cracks the pandemic has ripped open, to reveal the gangrenous mess within.
Wait times for America Permanent Residency (aka, the Green Card) have long exceeded human lifespans for applicants unfortunate enough to be born in backlogged countries [1].
These long wait times have led to the children of these applicants aging-out of valid visa status, facing self-deportation at age 21 or the same grim pathways their parents are on [2].
Further, pandemic-induced slowdowns in paperwork processing have led to backlogs within the US borders at the USCIS, as well as at American consulates abroad [3].
It has become common to see processing time estimates on the USCIS website that you have to do a double take on (screenshots below).
And worst of all, an estimated 100,000 unallocated Green Cards are set to expire in a space where demand already far outstrips supply [4].
With all of this being the reality, saying that the immigration system is badly, badly broken and in need of some serious reform should be a fairly uncontrovertial stance.
Indeed, it is hardly a matter of opinion anymore, it is plain fact.
But that's not the point. It never has been.
It's a question of who gets to criticise in America. Who gets to have a voice and who gets told that they're just kicking up a fuss. As an immigrant talking about immigration issues, it becomes clear fairly quickly that you are part of the latter class.
Your existence in the US is seen as one that was "given" to you and therefore, voicing an opinion against the immigration system that gave you all you have, is to bite the hand that feeds. In one particularly memorable incident on Quora, I remember being told that as a foreign national who lived and worked in the US, how could I possibly have anything to complain about with immigration?
If all of this does not cause you to retreat from having a voice, you are obligated at the very least, to preface your criticism no matter how valid with emphatic assertions of your enduring gratitude to America and its society for all you have.
Don't believe me?
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, Fiona Hill and Marie Yovanovich, three immigrants who have demonstrated plenty of integrity, patriotism and service to America, going so far as to put their lives and safety on the line in coming forward to testify against a sitting President, still felt the need to reaffirm their their commitment to this country. Their country!
It would have been one thing for them to reference their immigrant roots during their testimony which of course, is a pivotal fact of their lives and experiences. But there were clear assertions of gratitude and loyalty where none were needed. Their actions, their integrity and their courage that day should have been enough. [5]
If this was designed to prempt suspicion or clarify their stellar record going out to bat for their adopted country, it didn't work. All immigrant witnesses had that fact used against them in right-wing media as they were maligned. Lt. Col. Vindman was the target of particularly vitriolic attacks.
Kamala Harris, a US born citizen who should consider her American-ness just as valid as anyone else's, still pointed to America's generosity to immigrants in conveying her gratitude to her Indian-born mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris [6]. Just so we are clear, she conveyed gratitude on behalf of the person she was conveying gratitude to, in her victory speech.
Apparently immigrant indebtedness to America is a heritable condition.
Despite this, her legitimacy as a candidate for VP was questioned on the basis of the fact that her parents were not American-born. In a particularly jarring incident where a non-American joined the othering of Kamala Harris, Lord Kilclooney, a member of the UK House of Lords, referred to Kamala Harris as "the Indian" in his since-deleted tweet.
It is clear that when you, as an immigrant, do anything remotely empowering, there is a pervasive culture in America that questions your place to do so. Whether that is occupying office, testifying in Congress or even merely drawing attention to the glaring immigration issues of the day on social media.
Anything other than a full-throated cheer of America and American-ness is seen as entitlement. It is inappropriate, unbecoming, unseemly. Kind of like putting your bare feet up, in your boss's living room couch.
But here's the thing…
Discontentment, criticism and grievances can co-exist with a deep sense of personal gratitude and belonging. If you ever take the time to talk to an immigrant about what their American experience has meant for them, you will realize just how grateful they are.
Immigrants, particularly visa holders are highly unlikely to take their American stint for grated, mostly because visas are necessarily time-limited and come with no future assurances of continuation.
My own criticism of immigration stems from the fact that I feel one with the issues of America. In any case, if immigrants who see the guts of a system that is simply invisible to the native population, don't point out its flaws, who will? What better evidence of belonging than for an immigrant like me wanting to take on America's baggage as my own?
Alongside my issues and concerns with the immigration system exists my gratitude for this experience. There is no tension here. The two manage to co-exist just fine within me. But all of this is between me and my relationship with the US. My gratitude for this experience is not something that anyone else can feel entitled to demand or examine, like a passport at a border checkpoint.
Being asked to exhibit that gratitude to America beyond the private realm is a demand that I do not take kindly to, because it is just a way to remind me of my "place". A patronizing caricaturization of my existence of the US in which my palms will always be open in a gesture of receiving from the social largess of the US and that any shift from that submissive state of being is somehow a betrayal of all that I have. It is a co-opting of my efforts at creating a life for myself and reducing it to a handout.
And I resent that. Because saddling my shoulders with a vague sense of obligation is yet another way of telling me I don't belong.
No one tells a person criticizing the DMV, that they are ungrateful for the ability to drive which as we all know is a priviledge accorded to us by the government and not a right. So, why are we telling immigrants who point out deep flaws in the immigration system to shut up and be grateful?
It is because at a fundamental level in the US, immigration is viewed as one big state benefit program. One that offers people like me a chance at opportunity. Immigrants are viewed as people who have won a golden ticket. An opportunity to escape from whatever wretched place we were unfortunate enough to be born in.
In the now infamous s*****le comment during his Presidency, Donald Trump did what he usually does- say the quiet part out loud.
And if this is the simplistic framework one operates in, the impatience or even downright aggression immigrants face in criticising the immigration system starts to make a lot of sense.
Think about it: How much patience would you have to listen to the whining of a person who won a million dollar lottery?
It starts to make even more sense when you factor in the "stealing jobs", "overrunning the country" narratives that abound in this area. You'd have even lesser patience to tolerate that whining of you perceived a lottery winner's financial windfall as coming from your wallet.
But immigrants didn't win a lottery. We weren't just plucked out of our miserable existence and transplanted to the US overnight. The whole enterprise of immigration with its layers and complexity do not boil down to a simple scenario of a giver and a receiver of benefits.
Becoming an immigrant in the US is not a windfall. It is not a gift. It is not a handout, a wonderful turn of fate or the product of government generosity. It is an accomplishment born of persistence, aspiration, contribution to society and bringing value in exchange for value.
It is the sort of exchange that reminds us of the classic "double-thank you" promise of capitalism.
Immigrants don't just take. We pay taxes into systems we may not draw from for years (or ever!) like Social Security and Medicare. International students pay premium tuition at American Universities while being at the bottom of the barrel for scholarships and funding opportunities (the only exception being doctoral students).
The panic that US universities went into at many instance since the pandemic at the possibility of international student enrollment falling off a cliff should be all we need to realize that the whole enterprise of immigration with its layers and complexity cannot be boiled down to a simple scenario of a giver and a receiver of benefits. Their panic was very well-founded. International stuednts contributed $38.7 billion to the U.S. economy in 2019–20 [6].
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/17/fewer-international-students-cost-the-country-1point8-billion-last-year.html
And for many of us, US immigration agencies and the system are becoming not facilitators, but impediments to the eventual realization of their efforts. Coming to the US is not easy. It is not available as an option to everyone. And it is not cheap.
Even for people like me who actually did have a well-laid out pathway come to America in the first place, it takes typically at least a year's worth of planning, significant expenditure, consistent and goal-oriented hard work and some serious persistence. Success is anything but guaranteed. And simply getting here is not success by itself...
When those of us who "make it" finally do arrive in the US, it is not until we get Permanent Residency, a process that even in the absence of backlogs routinely takes several years that our lives in the US are grounded in any real certainty.
Immigrants, even those of us who hold visas and aren't Permanent Residents or citizens yet have a legitimate place in America society, politics and culture. We aren't just guests who should "stay in their lanes" when we have lives in America for years, have worked to build its economy, paid taxes and have been impacted by the policies of state and local governments.
Our labor, financial contributions and the overall social value we have always brought to the US earn us a place at the table. A place that we will not request for, beg for, ask nicely for.
Because it not anyone else's to give or take away.

Showdown with Bonner Springs looms as Basehor-Linwood, Bobcats avoid trap Tuesday
By Nick Bratkovic
February 21, 2012, 11:48 p.m.
Updated: February 23, 2012, 12:00 a.m.
Coming off a big win against Lansing on Friday and looking toward Substate play next week, the Basehor-Linwood boys basketball team avoided overlooking Turner on Tuesday night, winning 75-56.
The Bobcats led by double digits most of the night. Coach Mike McBride said his team took care of business against Turner.
"Yeah, it was a bit of a trap game for us tonight," he said. "Obviously we had a lot on the line last week and going into substate next week."
He said the Bobcats played hard and focused, and that the team took another step toward substate play next week.
"We played pretty good and we got ready for next game," he said.
The Bobcats were in control throughout much of the game as Turner did not have many answers for Basehor-Linwood's interior players Ryan and Colin Murphy and Ben Johnson.
Ryan Murphy finished the game with 24 points and Colin Murphy had 18 points. Johnsonscored 15 points.
Guard Chase Younger finished with 14 points.
The Bobcats started the game on a 13-2 run and led 19-13 at the end of the first quarter. The Bears rallied with a 13-6 lead to end the quarter and showed grit at times.
The score was 21-15 in the second quarter before Basehor-Linwood closed out the half on a 16-6 run. Ryan Murphy scored eight points in the half and Johnson had seven points.
In the second half, the two teams exchanged mini six-point runs in the third quarter. Johnson stole and dunked the basketball to give the team a 48-26 lead. He picked up his third foul a play later. The Bobcats maintained a 20-point lead the rest of the quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Bears cut the lead to 15 points at one point, but the Bobcats answered and finished with a 19-point victory. Basehor-Linwood starters subbed out late in the game and seven different players scored for the team in the game. Ryan Shaffer and Brad Waterman each finished with two points. Tim Sanders also scored two points.
Turner was led in scoring by a trio of three players who finished in double figures. Eric Dougherty scored 13 points, Jayon Washinton scored 11 points and Will McKnight finished with 10 points. De'Andre Frank scored seven points.
With the win, Basehor-Linwood improves to 16-3 on the season and is likely to be a No. 2 seed when substate play begins next week.
Entering the night, the Bobcats had a real possibility of clinching a No. 1 seed but needed a few breaks to go their way.
But Topeka-Hayden defeated Washburn Rural on Tuesday and owned the tiebreaker over Basehor-Linwood based off a victory earlier this season.
With the No. 2 seed, Basehor-Linwood will play host to a first round substate game on Tuesday. The opponent will be determined when substate seedings are released. The win also sets a senior night that should be memorable as twins Ryan and Colin Murphy will be among those honored in the year's class.
The twins, each of which has scored more than 1,000 points in their careers, will be honored along with the other seniors before the game. The other seniors on the team include Ryan Shaffer and Brad Waterman.
Friday's game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., but may vary depending on the duration of the girls game, which begins at 6 p.m.


Zack Martin has graded out as Notre Dame's top offensive lineman this season.
SOUTH BEND - Success and failure on the offensive line are separated by milliseconds.
No time to think. See. Recognize. React.
Five games into his college football career, Notre Dame left tackle Zack Martin knows the drill.
At 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds, the sophomore is the Irish line's big money man. Guardian of the blind side. Trusted to keep quarterback Dayne Crist clean and upright.
It's been a daily challenge. From Chatard High in Indianapolis to Notre Dame Stadium, with a year on the scout team in between, Martin has been able to handle the growth process with limited detours.
"There are things happening each week that he has never seen before," Irish head coach Brian Kelly said of Martin. "All the other things that he has seen, he has developed and has gotten better each and every time.
"So when you look at Zack Martin as a first-time starter, each week he sees new things and maybe doesn't handle it like a veteran starter, but those things that he has encountered already, he's playing at a high level. He's grading out as our top lineman at this point."
It's about retention. And application. It's about not making the same mistake twice.
"Repetitions in practice," Martin said of the source of his bank of experience. "There's always a couple wrinkles (that defenses show). Every game your confidence is going to grow."
Martin will need every bit of that confidence Saturday when he's challenged by Pittsburgh defensive end Jabaal Sheard (6-4, 260), one of college football's top pass rushers. Tall order for a rookie.
Mike Rosenthal knows firsthand what a young offensive tackle at Notre Dame must endure. The four-year starter (1995-98) developed into a quality lineman with an impressive NFL career.
"Young guys don't have the experience to have seen a lot of different defensive fronts in practice," Rosenthal said. "They're not seeing those defenses at game speed.
"The three steps are: See it; recognize it; get your body in a position to block it. A young guy has trouble thinking quickly enough. They'll see it, but by the time they recognize it, they don't have time to do their footwork to be in a position to block it."
A mistake here or there can lead to an erosion of that confidence. And a sore quarterback.
"Either during a play or right after a play, a young guy will be tempted to second-guess himself," Rosenthal said. "'Did I block the right guy?' After you've done it a couple times, the second-guessing goes away. The longer you play, experience factors come in. I'm not sure I ever got to the point, in college or the NFL, when I said, 'Yeah, I got it.' Only the great ones get to that point."
"You've gotta be confident that you know your assignments," Martin said. "You go into a game 100 percent prepared. Ah, maybe a couple times, you go through a play and you don't know what you're doin', as long as you're goin' 100 miles an hour and tryin' to hit someone, it usually works out."
"That's all in the development of any football player: Did your preparation during the week allow you to come into the game comfortable and confident that you can get the job done?" Kelly said of alleviating the second-guessing. "I know our players feel very good when they go into the games that they've seen the things that we've coached during the week. There will always be a couple (new) things, and you hope that your athletic ability can make up for that."
Martin is the cornerstone of an Irish offensive line that has yielded just nine sacks in five games. Notre Dame averages 293 passing yards and 111 on the ground. The spread offense is a unique attack that is unforgiving for a tackle.
"In the spread offense, there's usually no help," Rosenthal said. "They're leaving the tackle on a island and telling him to block the defense end. The spread puts stress on everyone on the offensive line. You have to be right."
"You work on (the one-on-one blocking) every day in practice, so that it's second nature," Martin said. "I don't even think about it now."
Between head coach Lou Holtz and line boss Joe Moore, Rosenthal was schooled by two of the best trench tacticians to have ever been in the game. They had a philosophy for preparing their players.
"The most important things are consistency in footwork and technique," Rosenthal said. "Joe Moore drilled it down our throats. Everybody on the offensive line knew everybody else's assignments. Knowing what the others are doing helps you understand what you're doing and why you're doing it.
"Through that, I learned to be a student of the game. That really helped me in the NFL. I understood what the offense and the defense were doing. It brought the whole picture into focus."
Five games into his college playing days, Martin may not be ready for or interested in an understanding of the entire picture.
For now, just keeping Crist on his feet would be enough.

LISE and Science Center Courtyards
Cambridge St. and Peabody St., Cambridge
Harvard Square
Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has rapidly expanded over the past decade. The addition of the Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering (LISE) created the University's first research facility for nanotechnology. As Harvard evolves as an institution, every new building and landscape is an opportunity to improve the relationship to its urban context.
Here, the new LISE Courtyard and renovated Science Center Courtyard unify and serve both new and existing buildings. The LISE Courtyard is an extension of the building's interior café—a full glass curtain wall helps to erase the boundaries between inside and outside. The Science Center Courtyard was an existing space that was overhauled when the existing café was re-done. Enclosed but open to the sky, the Courtyard landscape registers the weather and seasons for building users.
Multifunctional Space
The Courtyard was built as part of the LISE project but it benefits the entire complex by creating a crossroads for diverse populations from the adjacent Music, Science Center, and McKay buildings. A terraced lawn creates perches for people-watching and casual gathering, but it also transforms into an amphitheater for lectures and other events on its lowest paved level.
Image: Charles Mayer
Reflected Sky
The glassy McKay and LISE buildings reflect the sky, making an ever-changing backdrop for the courtyard. Even on cooler days, the reflected heat and bright light make it comfortable to be in this space. Chairs and tables are not fixed in place, allowing for flexible seating configurations for different size groups and the ability to move in and out of shade.
Built on top of a 3-story building, the sloping lawn parallels the pitched subterranean roof below. On a rounded berm at the high point of the lawn, a grove of river birch trees creates a relaxed place to hang out below their loose canopies; the berm also ensures that there is sufficient soil depth for the trees.
This is a construction plan of the LISE Courtyard that shows details about the topography. Like architects and engineers, landscape architects prepare technical drawings for bidding and construction. Landscape architects then observe the construction to make sure that it meets both technical requirements and design intent.
Image: Stephen Stimson Associates
Nearby in the Science Center is a bustling café close to the Cabot Science Library. In good weather, that activity spills out into the adjacent landscaped Central Courtyard. Accessible only from the inside of the Science Center, the Courtyard is visible from hallways, classrooms, and offices so the landscape composition is pleasing and coherent from every vantage point.
Like so many contemporary landscapes in Harvard's Life Sciences Complex, the Central Courtyard is built over structure. If the landscape had been built directly on top of the given roof elevation, it would have required the construction of 4 foot high planter boxes to achieve adequate soil depth. Instead, the designer suggested raising the entire floor of the courtyard so that the planters would be mostly hidden and not overpower its intimate scale.
Gather Under the Redbuds
Instead of traditional planter walls, the designer used steps and seatwalls to surround beds. The deep treads of the steps are comfortable for sitting and their long length make it easy to accommodate many at once. The unusual white-flowered redbud trees bloom before their leaves appear, with the flowers growing straight from the branches, making their delicate form apparent in the early spring.
Red + Yellow
Brightly colored umbrella tables enliven the Courtyard year-round but when thousands of daffodils bloom in late March and early April, the landscape signals that warm weather is just ahead. The bulbs are interspersed among a field of bearberry, a native groundcover, which turns bright red in the fall. Wood decking makes up part of the raised floor and it was chosen to add warmth to the material palette and make a subtle reference to intimately-scaled gardens.
