Technology: The Latest Architecture and News
WZMH Develops Modular System to Save Partially or Fully Destroyed Structures
Courtesy of WZMH Architects
Today's cities have been substantially reshaped to correspond with environmental and social needs or to reconstruct themselves after natural disasters or war. Whereas master plans and regulations take years, millions of people remain trapped in the crossfire and urgently need aid in their cities. With this pressing issue in mind, WZMH Architects developed a prefabricated- modular system for salvaging thousands of structures across Ukraine that have been partially or fully destroyed during the war. This system aims to integrate building technology into new buildings to create more sustainable communities.

"Hope for Architecture" is the calling of Clay Chapman and described by him as "a building initiative to address the challenges of an uncertain future." In truth, "Hope for Architecture" is a masonry and timber technology, reinvented and adapted from antiquity for this moment. Clay and his young family moved to Carleton Landing, Oklahoma fifteen years ago to fulfill a mission: creating a community and explore that technology.

The Future of Architecture: Imagining a World Where Buildings are Constructed from Living Materials
To Grow a Building / Jerusalem Design Week 2022. Image © Dor Kedmi
Can you imagine a world in which the built environment around us is 3D printed from living materials? That buildings will germinate, bloom, wither, produce new kinds of material, and eventually return back to the soil? To Grow a Building is a performative lab space that 3D prints - in real time - a live structure. The project presents a new approach to integrating flora into the design process, by developing a novel material for 3D printing, through which seeding is an inseparable part of the fabrication process. To Grow a Building is a gate into a future world in which there are people who build buildings, and there are people who grow them.

Things You Should Know About Artificial Intelligence and Design
Anatomy of an AI System. Image Courtesy of Kate Crawford
Should designers care about artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML)? There is no question that technology is adding texture to the current zeitgeist. Never could I have imagined seeing a blockbuster hit where Ryan Reynolds emerges as a conscious non-player character in a video game and a flop where Melissa McCarthy negotiates humanity's future with a James Corden-powered superintelligence within a year of each other. But does learning AI and ML's ins and outs really matter for the creative professions and our nebulous, invaluable way of operating?

Vantem, a Startup Founded by Bill Gates, is Building Cost-Effective Net Zero Housing
Courtesy of Vantem
Vantem is a startup construction company manufacturing high-efficiency, net-zero homes at competitive costs and low embodied carbon. The company recently raised a Series A round of investment from the Bill Gates-founded firm Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Net-zero homes, buildings that produce as much energy as they use, are typically cheaper to own than standard housing. Still, they often involve high construction costs since they require advanced building technologies and engineering. Vantem aims to change this dynamic by employing modular construction technology.

Standing at 78 meters tall, the Museum of the Future (MOTF) is far from reaching Dubai's famous skyline, which features skyscrapers like the unparalleled Burj Khalifa – the world's tallest tower. However, with its bold shape and striking façade illuminated by more than 14,000 meters of Arabic calligraphy, it certainly succeeds in taking its place among the city's most iconic buildings. The award-winning project by Killa Design and Buro Happold, described by many as 'the most beautiful building in the world', opened in February of 2022 in Dubai's Financial District. In a total built up area of 30,000 sqm, it accommodates exhibition spaces for innovative ideologies, services, and products, as well as theater spaces, a laboratory, and a research center.

A Coastal Intervention with 3D Terracotta Printing: Stools and Shelters for Aquatic Fauna
© Christian J. Lange
As humanity becomes aware of its impact on the environment, it has also sought ways to reverse some of the harm caused to fauna and flora, especially in cities. Our way of living, consumption and construction has caused severe damage to nature. In fact, according to a study from the Weizmann Institute of Science, we are at a point of inflection where the mass of all man-made materials is equal to the planet's biomass, and it should double by 2040. But not necessarily everything we build should have a negative impact. "The Tidal Stool" project is an example of this - part of a comprehensive revitalization project in Kuk Po Village in Shau Tau Kok in Hong Kong, which brings together two different ecologies, the anthropocentric and natural environment.

Towards Sustainable and Affordable Housing: Is 3D Printing the Future or the Present?
ICON 3D Printed Homes Community First Village, Austin, TX. Image © Regan Morton Photography
In recent years, the construction industry has faced unprecedented challenges. A lack of skilled workers is driving up costs of labor, there is a global housing shortage, and the effects of climate change around the world are clearer than ever. Therefore, questioning traditional construction methods and pushing the limits of innovation has become a top priority, forcing the industry to implement new technologies as they get on board the digital transformation era. There is one innovation, however, that looks particularly promising: 3D construction printing. Although relatively recent, the technology has already been successfully tested in numerous structures, houses and apartment buildings, reshaping residential construction as we know it. Hence, 3D printing could very well be a viable alternative for more efficient, sustainable and cost-effective mass housing solutions in the near future, positively impacting people's lives and contributing to greener, healthier cities.

Wood Made From Kombucha?
Cortesia de Symmetry Wood
Forests cover about a third of the planet and play a fundamental role for life on Earth. According to Peter Wohlleben, author of the book "The Secret Life of Trees", through fungal weaves, specimens of a forest can communicate with each other, exchange nutrients, help out the weakest plants, and organize survival strategies, which is essential for the healthy growth of individuals. The preservation of existing forests and the creation of new ones are essential for biodiversity and natural recovery, but also to meet the demand for wood. According to a report by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), it is estimated that the amount of wood harvested in the world will triple by the year 2050, with the increase in population and income in developing countries. In addition, it is estimated that there will be an increased use of wood to manufacture biofuels, pharmaceuticals, plastics, cosmetics, consumer electronics and textiles. Searching for wood substitutes can be a smart path towards a sustainable future, especially if the alternatives are made using waste generated by other industries. Pyrus, for example, is an oil-free wood material produced sustainably with bacterial cellulose waste repurposed from the kombucha industry.

Metaverse is the name used to name an immersive, collective and hyper-realistic virtual environment, where people will be able to live together using 3D customized avatars.
It was coined by writer Neal Stephenson in his science fiction book "Snow Crash", published in 1992. The work tells the story of "Hiro Protagonist", a character who in real life is a pizza delivery boy, but in the virtual world – called metaverse in the story – is a samurai.

A Pavilion That Unites Upcycling Materials, Automated Manufacturing and Virtual Reality
Cortesia de S'Winter Station - Ryerson University – Department of Architectural Science
The construction industry has experienced severe changes in recent decades. Historically, it counted on abundant labor and a false notion that natural resources were infinite, but nowadays the sector has struggled to find innovations that will allow it to become more sustainable, especially considering its enormous impact and importance in the world. In addition, the recent Covid-19 pandemic changed several factors and dynamics, demanding creativity from designers to overcome challenges. In some cases, the design process itself became subject to changes. The S'Winter Station project, developed by students and teachers of Ryerson University's Department of Architectural Science, is one of these examples which relied on existing visualization and manufacturing technology for its completion.

3D Printing with Low-Carbon Concrete: Reducing CO2 Emissions and Material Waste
Courtesy of Hyperion Robotics
After water, concrete is the second most-consumed material on the planet and its production is substantially growing, expected to increase from 4.4 billion tons, reaching production up to 5.5 billion tons by 2050. Unfortunately, this comes at a huge environmental cost, accounting for almost eight percent of the global carbon emissions. With this estimated expected growth, stakeholders in the construction industry must work on integrating sustainable building materials and innovative processes.

Advances in biotechnology and material science are opening new material opportunities, with the potential of fundamentally changing the connection between the built environment and the natural world. Building materials and construction account for 11% of greenhouse gas emissions. The AEC industry can contribute to curbing climate change in the following years, and the re-evaluation of commonplace building materials is one of the most critical steps. Bioengineered materials, which grow, produce energy, self-heal, are the next frontier in biology and material science and potentially a path towards a new kind of architecture. Although innovation in these fields is still far away from mainstream commercial use, it promises to dramatically change the image of the built environment.

Can 3D Printing Reshape Residential Architecture as We Know It?
Courtesy of PERI
By 2025, Dubai plans for a fourth of its buildings to be printed in 3D construction methods, demonstrating the potential of a fast-growing technology capable of redefining and pushing the limits of traditional architecture. As the technique emerges as a viable solution in the construction, engineering, and architecture areas, its popularity is quickly increasing. In fact, just between 2021 and 2028, the global 3D construction market is expected to grow by 91%, according to a July 2021 report by Grand View Research. Why this rapid growth? Besides being a faster alternative and having lower construction costs, it can also provide affordable housing solutions and allow countless design possibilities, among many other benefits. Thus, as architects must adapt to a new technological era, where speed and efficiency have become key factors in design and execution processes, the rise of 3D printing shows enormous promise. It could even help reshape construction as we know it.

Le Corbusier's Influence in Architecture Through Mass Production and Digital Fabrication
Robotic Collaboration. Image Courtesy of ETH Zurich
Digital spaces and fabrication technology have become as prominent as ever within the current state of our post-pandemic society, becoming increasingly more accessible and enabling quick and spontaneous acts of iteration and evolution. These technologies have resulted in the ability to mass-produce non-standard, highly differentiated building components within the same facility as their standardized counterpart, transforming how buildings and their respective components are conceived, designed, and represented, and how they are manufactured, assembled, and produced.
The beauty of digital fabrication is its ability to blend aspects of mass and artisanal production to the point where costs nearly disappear. Technology's capacity to fabricate so simply and almost seamlessly raise the issues for its potential to significantly alter our current perception of architecture, thus producing the question: has the influence of mass production in architecture resulted in a loss of intentional design?

Fish the best waters in the Mid-Atlantic!
With the Labrador and Gulf Stream currents moving in opposite directions across Virginia's continental slope, these offshore waters contain someof the most productive fishing grounds on the east coast. Dead bait trolling is the routine approach used since it is not species specific. Everything from dolphin (not porpoise) and tuna to 1,000 pound blue marlin can be captured with the same baits.
Just some of our catch from a recent fishing expedition!
In early May, Blue Fin begin congregating close to the Virginia/North Carolina border. By mid-June, these 30 to 70 pound fish have settled in some of the best fishing hot spots directly off southern Virginia's coast. Fishing is very good through autumn.
By mid-July, you can enjoy fishing for white marlin, dolphin, and wahoo. Large numbers of white marlin congregate on the ocean "lumps" southeast of Virginia Beach and in canyons farther offshore. White marlin fishing holds through September. Fishing for yellow fin tuna is strong in both spring and fall. There is always a chance of catching a blue marlin.

For a long time, I thought that the maximum number of poll options that vBulletin itself would allow was twenty. Admittedly, there's no particular reason for such a number to be a ceiling -- more likely, that number would be a power of two -- but I thought we were given that limitation because of vBulletin.
However, I was wrong, as I found out when Kishi edited the "Pointless poll :)" in the FFI-IV forum to make it more complete. I've never counted the exact number of options in any of Kishi's edits (they also include "Best Character Story" in the FFVI forum and "Best game ever" in the General Squaresoft forum), but there are certainly more than twenty of them in each of those polls. I'm guessing they number in the sixties.
My question is: Why the upper limit for those who aren't moderators or administrators? A large number of future polls could be much more complete if that ceiling were removed, and I'm sure that would anger far fewer people. I know how provoking it is not to see my favourite option on a list and thus be forced to vote "Other." Yes, some people might abuse the privilege, but the moderators could certainly just eliminate spam polls with an unnecessarily large unmber of choices, and I think it would be easier for them to go about deleting unnecessary polls than being asked to fix the huge number of incomplete polls that are currently... well... incomplete. Which happens right now.
Also, while we're on the subject, I understand the purpose behind not allowing non-moderators to edit existing poll options (they could change those options so that their favourite was winning, which would be bad), but is there truly any reason for not allowing us peons to add to our old polls?
I think the 20 is there to stop people messing about and posting ridiculously large polls. I've seen some with well over 100 before (not at these boards :p ), asking what your favourite ASCII symbol is xDPolls like that could be deleted, of course. I still think it would be nice, for example, to be able to make a poll with all the songs in the Final Fantasy VI soundtrack asking which of them was a user's favourite, but right now I'd have to ask a moderator before I could be allowed to make such a poll. Perhaps it should be only enabled in the gaming fora -- can't realistically see a poll in General Chat with 64 options being anything but spam, actually.
Besides, with polls that large, the results are virtually meaningless because you're never going to get enough votes such that it makes sense, there aren't usully that many people who'll vote in the first place :)True, there aren't. But it's always hard to know what people are going to vote for. And if one person really likes, say, KluYa, I'm sure they'd feel really good voting for him in the poll. Completeness is always nice -- lots of people don't care enough when they vote "Other" to explain.
As far as I can see, I can't see any option to allow a user/non-mod or admin to edit their own poll, it seems to be a mod function only - but I'm still new to VB so might have missed something :p Blarg. It would be nice if we could add more options to our polls after the fact, but if it's impossible with vB as it is, then don't worry about it.

Inside Wis: Wisconsin tribe's efforts to diversify offer example for Indian Country
by Tech Council | Jul 16, 2015 | Featured, Inside Wisconsin, NEWSROOM
By Tom Still
LAC DU FLAMBEAU – A trip to the Lac du Flambeau Reservation
west of Minocqua produces the expected in some ways: a gleaming casino operated
by the tribe, a stunning natural setting and mixed evidence of prosperity and
A visitor may also encounter the unexpected in the form of
steady economic diversification, a process being fostered by the Lac du
Flambeau Business Development Corp. Its work may offer examples for others in
Indian Country.
Managed by an independent board of directors but wholly
owned by the tribal nation, the LDF Business Development Corp. was launched to
create profitable enterprises and jobs for tribal members. It was done with the
knowledge that gaming revenues may rise or fall over time, and that reliance on
the Lake of the Torches Resort Casino alone was not a sustainable business
model for the tribe and its 3,600 enrolled members.
Read this commentary in the Wisconsin State Journal here.
"We want to diversify. Unfortunately, some tribes have yet
to do that," said Brent McFarland, the chief operating officer for the LDF
Business Development Corp. and a member of the Wisconsin Economic Development
Association's board of directors.
That effort so far includes a construction company that
undertakes commercial and residential projects, including some ambitious
contracts on the reservation itself, such as a 20-bed Community Base
Residential Treatment Facility. LDF Construction will soon undertake a retail
renovation that will consolidate several existing businesses – a convenience
store, gas station and smoke shop – under one roof.
While the retail side of the LDF portfolio isn't out of the
ordinary, some other lines of business are atypical.
The LDF Business Development Corp. operates an Internet
lending and call center with a number of clients, mostly companies in the
installment loan business. Internet connectivity is vital to the center, which
also handles credit-card processing from well beyond Wisconsin. The center's
installment loan business is focused on short-term loans for people outside
Wisconsin who likely would not qualify for bank loans.
The center is managed by Melissa Doud, a 20-year U.S. Army
veteran and former banker who views the ability to leverage technology as
critical to the future of her tribe. For example, the LDF Business Development
Corp. recently became the first general Aflac Insurance agency in Indian
Country, a term that refers to 562 federally recognized tribes and bands.
About 2.9 million Americans with native ancestry were
identified by the 2010 census, including about 55,000 in Wisconsin. About half
of the Lac du Flambeau Chippewa band's members live on its northern Wisconsin reservation;
the rest are scattered, mostly in the upper Midwest. The Lac du Flambeau tribe
is younger than most, which McFarland and Doud tout as an advantage for
employers who want to work with the business development group.
On the horizon for the LDF Business Development Corp. is a
76-acre business and technology park that would be eligible for "hub zone"
designation, which can lead to tax advantages for companies that set up shop
there. Other existing businesses with tribal links include a fish hatchery, a
wholesale fuel business and an electric company that specializes in producing
meters to measure current.
Meanwhile, LDF Construction is hoping to partner with nine
other tribes or bands to handle construction projects well outside Lac du Flambeau.
"We have a multitude of businesses that generate revenue,
and our goal is to become more sustainable while giving back to the tribe,"
Doud said. "E-commerce is kind of the way to go for us, being as we're in such
a remote location…"
During a July 14 presentation to the Wisconsin Technology
Council board of directors, McFarland and Doud stressed that LDF Business
Development Corp. is not sitting back and waiting for opportunities to land on
its doorstep – but is seeking them. Potential partnerships are vetted through a
21-step due diligence process.
Wisconsin's native tribes exist in varying degrees of
economic prosperity, with some relying on gaming revenues to the exclusion of
other lines of business. The Lac du Flambeau Business Development Corp. didn't
invent diversification, even in Indian Country, but its goal is to make it a
reality for the tribe.

iPhone SE (2020) Review: Reasons to Buy & Reasons Not to Buy


With the excavations in 1965 in the thermal spa from the Roman period, in the vicinity of Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, among other artifacts, an inscription on a marble plaque hung at the entrance was discovered. It is an inscription dating back from the middle of the II century AD, unique of its kind, which contains a list of the premises and their arrangement in the building. Namely, it is stated in it that the spa had two apoditeriums, one frigidarium, two pools and a nimpheum (Д. Николов 1968, 43-48).
Although a hipocaust was not mentioned in the list, it was a construction element essential to Roman baths and therefore it must have been a component of the heating system in the spa in Stara Zagora.
The reason why the hipocaust was the most widespread heating system used in Roman times was its comprehensiveness - it possessed both hygienic and economical features. It was used in Italy and in all Roman provinces across Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor, in geographic regions with different climate in different seasons (Т. Иванов 1971, кн. 1, 23).
The origin and the use of the hipocaust have not been resolved yet. On one hand, the term "hipocaust" corresponds to Greek origin; while on the other hand, written sources by Roman authors refer to the Romans as the inventors of the hipocaust.
According to the writings by Cicero, Pliny, Valery, Maximus and others, it was invented by a person named Sergeus Orata (c. 80 AD), a rich citizen of Rome, who first constructed a hipocaust under a fish pool in order to heat the cold water (R. J. Forbes 1958, vol. VI, 40). This system of heating is referred to by authors as balneola suspendere or pensiles balineae.
The Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius, who lived and worked during the reign of Caesar (I century BC) in his "Ten Books on Architecture" (book V, chapter 10), gives a detailed description of the hypocaust construction in contemporary spas.
The basic function of the hipocaust was to heat the hanging floor and the walls from beneath. This is what the word hipocausis means in Greek, "heating from beneath". The Latin version of the term hipocaustum means heating installation.
Some Roman buildings used the hipocaust as a system of ventilation and dampness isolation, but most often, as we mentioned before, it was used as a heating system.
The rooms with a hipocaust had a favourable orientation in regard to the rest of the building, so that they could use the sun to a maximum, which was very often the case in ancient times, as suggested by Vitruvius (book V, chapter 10). Namely, he advised south-west orientation of the heated rooms (ad occidentem hibernum), with light coming from the north-west or from the south, as the baths were most often used in the afternoon until the setting of sun.
Such an orientation of the hipocaust was usual, which can be confirmed by the research into baths in Bulgaria made by T. Ivanov . It was noticed that the south and the south-west orientation of the rooms with a hipocaust depended on the continental climate characterized by moderately cold winters and hot summers.
The basic components of the rooms with a hipocaust system are: the furnace (prefurnium), the canals which supply hot air or vapour, the canals which let the hot air or the vapour pass, vertical canals to heat the walls, relief holes and canals to drain the hot air and the vapour.
The rooms with a hipocaust were heated with hot (dry) air or with vapour. When the rooms were used for perspiring by means of hot air they were referred to as lakonium, and when the perspiring was achieved by means of vapour, they were called sudatorium (A. Bace, 55).
The rooms were heated with dry air by means of furnaces which used wood and charcoal. Three caldrons were placed above the furnaces, one for hot water, the other for warm water and the third contained cold water. The hot air from the furnace circled through the hipocaust heating the floor and the walls.
The thermal spas were most often built next to a spring of thermal mineral water and were accompanied by special reservoirs for hot water which was used for heating. The water entered the hipocaust to a certain height, and the vapour heated the suspensure and the canals in the walls of the rooms. Such were the Roman spas in Hisar (spa of Havuza), Bulgaria, the spas in Stara Zagora and some other spas (T. Ivanov 1971, 26).
The village of Bansko is located 12 km south-east of Strumica, in south-east Macedonia (fig.1). The eastern part of the village, where the spring of thermal-mineral water is situated, is known among the local population under the name of Spa. Orographically it belongs to the north slopes of the Belasica mountain which has a general east-west orientation. In its geological structure the land has layers of the old Paleozoic, Neogen, and the Quarter. Tectonically, the site belongs to the Macedonian- Serbian tectonic massif, that is, The Belasica range which is 45 km long in the direction east-west with inclination to the north under an angle of 65°, along the length of which split zones and cataclizates-milonites were formed. All of this caused the appearance of significant springs of thermal water.
The archaeological excavations at the site Late Roman thermal spa in the village of Bansko, Stumica, were begun in 1978 and with short interruptions have continued until today. The existing campaigns include a space of about 1500m2 upon which a well-preserved Late Roman thermal spa has been found (fig. 2). The building was using the thermal-mineral water of the spring "Parilo", which is situated about fifty meters southwest from the bath. The capacity of the spring is 42 l/sec with temperature of water of 72˚C, enough to supply and qualitatively maintain the bath.
So far eleven premises are discovered with an area of 623m2 (fig. 3). Nine of them are excellently preserved. Premise 1 is especially well-preserved, where one cross and one semi-circular vault are preserved; Premise 5 is also well-preserved, where above the bathtub the semi-dome is preserved.
Analyzing the plan of the Late Roman thermal spa in the village of Bansko, we noticed grouping of premises in three parallel rows following the configuration of the land (Ј. Ананиев 1989, 333). This ordering of premises in rows came as a consequence of the spa expansion, so several building phases can be clearly defined. In the first (oldest) phase of the building there are the three premises that form the first row, comprising the two premises with a hypocaust (С. Тасева, В. П. Секулов 2003, 265).
The two premises with a hypocaust are situated nearest to the spring of hot thermal water, so that the heat of the water would not be lost while using it as a means of warming.
Premise 1 is set in the direction NE-SW with length of 6.27m (fig. 4). The north-east half is with dimensions 3.90x3.10 m where the system of floor and wall heating , while the south-west half of the premise is a bathtub with dimensions 2.60x2.30 m and depth of 1.00m (fig. 5). These two halves are separated with a barrier wall which is 3.10m long, 1m high and 0.50m wide. At the east part of the pool under the wall and under the two steps passes the drainage canal which carries the used water to the main canal. The entrance to this premise is on the north side through a door which is 0.82x0.90 m wide and 1.85m high. On the north-east wall there used to be a door for entering this premise, but it was walled up in the phases of further spa expansion.
The completely preserved vault construction above the bathtub represents a semi-circled vault, while the space with the hypocaust is vaulted with a cross vault made of brick, which is 3.80m high. Vitruvius (book V, chapter 10) recommends vaulting of the laconium and the premises for perspiring, because the condensed vapor continuously flows down the vault. Communication with Premise 4 is via an arch door 2.35m wide and 3.00m high.
Premise 4 (fig.6) is with orientation NW-SE. It is 6.40m long and 3.15m wide. The east corner of this premise is 0.25m higher than the rest of it. This space with dimensions of 2.30x1.80 m is a marble plateau, and right next to it there is a walled-up bathtub with dimensions of 1.96x0.92 m and depth of 0.50m. Beside the north-east wall there is a bench 3.35m long, 0.35m wide and 0.54m high (fig. 7). Between the bench and the wall there is a row of 13 tubules. A bench of this type, only with smaller dimensions 1.70x0.30x0.30 can be seen in the west corner as well. In it there are preserved five tubules which, as opposed to the ones of the north-east bench, are walled-up and did not protrude above the bench. This bench served at the same time for easier entering the bathtub in the south-west part, which was in some later phase added (Premise 10) with dimensions 3.20x 3.05m.
The height of the preserved walls in Premises 4 and 10 are 3.40m at the most. The roof construction of Premise 4 was a brick vault oriented along the shorter stretch of the premise according to the remnants of vaulting the walls, which offer to determine the height of the vault construction as well. On the south and the south-west side of both bathtubs in Premises 1 and 4 there are arch windows.
From Premise 1 the heating system continues along the side of Premise 4 (fig. 8), so that both premises are connected in a functional entity with a mutual purpose.
Through a canal set along the side of the north-west wall of Premise 1 came the thermal water and through three openings entered the heating system, so that a great quantity of the vapor heated the suspensure, the walls and the benches in Premises 1 and 4. One of the openings for entering the water into the hypocaust is set beneath the door in Premise 1 (fig. 9), central to the main canal, while the other two are between the three rows of arches in the north corner of the premise. The heating system is located in Premise 1 in its north-east half and continues in Premise 4 up to the marble plateau and the walled-up bathtub, comprising 7.10m in length and 3.00m in width, or total area of 21.30m2, all of which has been completely preserved.
The carrier floor of the system is compactly built of regularly arranged bricks with dimensions of 51x33-35x4 cm. The floor is set on a flat surface because it should carry the big burden of the hypocaust construction (colons, hanging floor and floor finish) with a gentle fall towards the water canals with difference of 13 cm from the endmost points. Thus, the rule of Vitruvius was observed (book V, chapter 10) according to which the carrier floors in the hypocaust premises should be so inclined towards the furnace floors that if a ball is thrown from the furnace upwards, it will slowly come back to the furnace. He assumes that with such a fall the warm air circulates and heats the best in the hypocaust system.
The substructure of the carrier floor is multilayered and is composed of several construction materials (fig. 10). By sounding the floor it was found that the bricks from the floor are fixed into a layer of white lime mortar with thickness of 4 cm. Beneath it pieces of broken tubules are arranged, with thickness of 2 cm, fixed into a layer of waterproof mortar with clay additions with thickness of 2 cm. Beneath this layer of mortar two layers of stone are arranged with thickness of about 20 cm and beneath them there is a layer of waterproof mortar with clay additions with thickness of about 20 cm. Because the area is not accessible for deeper sounding, it cannot be said whether the substructure ends by that point or continues deeper with its layers. Especially for damp buildings Vitruvius (book VII, chapter 4) as a first measure for dampness elimination recommends that there should be made a thick layer (three Roman feet, about 90 cm) of waterproof mortar with addition of pieces of baked bricks to coat the whole of the floor surface, which as an example was used in this building.
In the spa of Nikopolis ad Istrum in Bulgaria, on the east and on the west wall of premise A, in the still fresh waterproof mortar the ancient masters-masons drew out the sketch of the hypocaust construction. Two horizontal lines sketched at a certain distance from the floor, crossed by two perpendicular lines that form rectangles with width equal to the width of the distance between the colons and the half-cylindrical arches outlined between them, represents an original sketch and a proof of the plan for construction of the hypocaust and organization of the work of the ancient masters of masonry (T.Ivanov. 221).
In the Late Roman thermal spa in the village of Bansko in the premises with hypocaust a type of arch construction was made. The whole of the construction is made with brick arches and consists of an open central canal that stretches in the direction NW-SE along the whole length in the middle part of Premises 1 and 4 and goes out through the wall of Premise 4 through an opening that functioned as a regulator of the heat in the hypocaust. The canal has a width of 45-47 cm and depth of 70cm. On the left side of the canal there are three rows with three arches each, while on the right side there are two rows with three arches each (fig. 11). The last rows of arches next to the wall in both premises are 10 cm from the wall because of arranging the vertical bricks (tubules) along the height of the wall . The arches start from the carrier floor and are next to each other. The dimensions of the bricks they are made of are 25x13-14x4 cm. The thickness of the joints between the bricks is from 1 to 3 cm at the upper part of the arch. The space between the arches is walled by bricks with width of 4 cm and joints between them made of white lime mortar with width of 2 cm. The arches begin from the floor, so that the height of the light opening is 38 cm and its width is 68 cm.
The area above the central canal is open at present, and as there was found not an element that would be a proper evidence of its covering, we suppose that it was probably covered with bipedal bricks which could be lifted if there was a need to clean and mend the canals.
At the Late Roman thermal spa in the village of Bansko the system of heating the walls is composed of special bricks - tubules which are hollow, with rectangular form and thickness of walls of 1.5 cm. Their dimensions are 25x10 cm, with height of 42 cm in Premise 4, and 24x10 cm and height of 36 cm in Premise 1. In Premise 1 the tubules are set on the north-west wall on the left and right of the entrance door, in five perpendicular rows, with six bricks each, as high as 2.10m from the floor (fig. 12). On the north-east wall the tubules were set along the whole length of the wall as high as 2.10m, but only the first row is preserved. In Premise 4 the tubules are arranged behind the bench on the north-east wall in 13 rows, and according to the remnants of mortar on the wall they were very probably as high as those in Premise 1. On the opposite wall the tubules are arranged beneath the bench in front of the bathtub and end in the bathtub with a purpose of heating it.
The tubules with one side lie upon the bipedal bricks, whereas to the walls they are attached by mortar, in such a way that first on the wall was put waterproof mortar with thickness of 1 cm and above it was put a white lime mortar with the same thickness. To the wall they are attached with the help of iron "T" nails which are hit between them and probably ended in a horny form to hold both bricks at the same time. Such examples of attaching the tubules can be found in the spa in Bargala (Z. Beldedovski 2003,57-69), in the ancient spa in Varazdinske Toplice (Belančiċ-Gorenc 1961,203-206), in the late-ancient balneum (the church of St Georgi in Sofia) (R. Ivanov 2002), in the spa in Nikopolis ad Istrum (Т. Иванов, 222) and other spas. On the north-west wall of Premise 1 there are more remnants of highly corroded nails set perpendicularly between the tubules.
In the middle of the side parts of the tubules, holes with dimensions 10x2.5 cm are made so that the warm air could move horizontally between all rows. Above the tubules two layers of mortar are laid, first white lime mortar with thickness of 1.5 cm and waterproof mortar with the same thickness which is finely smoothed along the whole surface.
The high temperature of 72°C of the thermal water from the spring Parilo in the village of Bansko in the proximity of which this thermal spa was built was high enough to be used for heating the floors and walls in the hypocaust premises without additional heating. Because of that, with the archaeological excavations done so far there have not been discovered furnaces (fornax) for floor heating and heating of the water. The hot thermal water which was directed through a canal into Premise 1 brought the vapor that expanded between the rows of arches and continued through the canals into the walls (tubules) heating them as well. Via the central canal the vapor continued into Premise 4, where circling through the canals it heated the floor and the walls of this premise. The length of the central canal from the hole for entering to the hole for eliminating the excessive vapor through the wall in Premise 4 amounts 9.90m. Its fall follows the fall of the carrier floor which, starting from the entering canal moves up towards the hole for eliminating the excessive vapor with difference in height of 13 cm.
The thermal water that was brought into Premise 1 via three openings with a constant gentle flow, ran out through the drainage pipe in the wall of the east corner of the same premise. This drainage ceramic pipe also served for the water to flow out from the bathtub in Premise 1, which has a drainage canal under the bench on the floor.
The excess of the great quantity of vapor that was running through the rows of arches in Premises 1 and 4, went out through a canal - relief which is set at the end of the central canal. It is a well walled opening with height of 55 cm and width of 42 cm (fig. 13).
A part of the vapor went out through the two ceramic pipes on the north-east wall of Premise 1 which are next to the drainage pipe at a height of 40 cm from the carrier floor and go out through the wall in the part of the bench in Premise 2.
The circling of the vapor through the hypocaust part warmed both the hanging floor and the walls and benches in the premises via the tubules through which it moved up and through which it came out heating the space inside.
The excess of heated air full of vapor came out through ceramic pipes - komini, (fig.14)which are set diagonally in the north-east wall of Premise 1 and in the south-west wall in Premise 4, at a height of 2.40m from the floor and come out through the roof of the premises.
The used water from the little walled bathtub in Premise 4, through a drainage canal ran into the main canal of the system and flew out into a drainage ceramic pipe which is situated in the wall at the north corner of the premise at a height of the carrier floor.
The warm floor, the warm walls and benches, as well as the warm and humid air created an ideal place for perspiring of the spa goers - sudatorium. Moreover, the two bathtubs with warm water where 2 to 3 people could stay, the smaller bathtub for one person and the plateau with marble tables where relaxation might have taken place with massages and smearing with perfumed oils was a place not only for bathing and curing with thermal water, but also a place for enjoying - a characteristic of the lifestyle in the Roman period.
With the excavations done so far in the whole area of the spa and the still not analyzed archaeological artifacts, we are not able to give the exact date of the premises with the hypocaust and the spa in general. However, using comparative methods and following the analogies of similar buildings across the Balkans and wider, still we can date them in the III century AD. It does not mean that this is a final date and that we cannot move it backward or forward. The research to follow will surely offer the answer to this very significant question.
The hypocaust system of heating was very much used in our country. It was used in public and private spas, for example in the thermal spas in Heraklea, the small thermal spa and the large one in Stobi, the spa in Bargala, the spa in the village of Banica in the Strumica region and other spas as well, but this type of arch system with a main central canal in the middle along the whole length of the system in the ancient thermal spa in the village of Bansko is the only one discovered so far and as an example is very rare in other countries. Its complete preservation makes possible its present functioning. The difference from other types of heating is, as we mentioned before, that there is no prefurnium, but the heating comes from the warmness of the thermal water.
The use of the system of hypocaust heating continues in the Middle Ages, for example, the small and big spa in the monastery complex of Vodocha near Strumica (Ј. Ананиев, 1991 57-64) , where the basic principles and the construction of the ancient hypocaust were used.

Jim EdwardsThe Cannes Lions advertising festival wrapped up last week.
1. We interviewed AOL's consumer brand boss Jimmy Maymann at Cannes Lions advertising festival. He spoke to us about the Gawker trial, virtual reality, and Facebook Live.
2. It can cost an ad agency $1.1 million to enter its staff and work to the Cannes Lions advertising festival. With conference badges starting at €1,500 ($1,667) and entry fees for competition work start at €499 ($555), it costs a huge amount for companies to attend the festival, before they have even considered travel and accommodation.
3. Google cofounder Sergey Brin says Silicon Valley is a bad place to start a business. He recommends starting a new business outside of the Valley to avoid prohibitive costs, but then to move to the tech center once the business has gained traction.
4. Publicis CEO Maurice Lévy told Business Insider that Brexit left him "stunned" and unhappy. The advertising boss said that he respects the "decision of the people" but said the majority is not always correct.
5. Restaurant sales are nearly flat in the US according to The NPD Group, an industry research firm. People are pulling back on spending on eating out, despite the marketing efforts of large chains.
7. This is how an extra $100 million investment made Papa John's America's favourite place to buy pizza. The restaurant avoided pouring the extra cash into marketing, instead focusing on quality, according to president and COO Steve Ritchie.
8. There is an indecipherable mystery behind the "No. 7" on Jack Daniels' most popular label. Jeff Arnett, the current Master Distiller for Jack Daniel's, admitted to Business Insider that he didn't know why the label says "Old No. 7".
9. AlmapBBDO won the title of Agency of the Year at the Cannes Lions advertising festival. The Brazilian firm won despite its involvement in a "sexist scam ad controversy," which saw the agency having to return a Bronze Lion for a sexually suggestive Bayer campaign the client didn't pay to run, reports AdAge.


Sediment traps are crucial elements for flood protection in mountain rivers with high sediment transport capacity. Existing structures often interrupt the channel connectivity. Ideally, a sediment trap should be permeable for bed load during non-hazardous floods and ensure sediment retention during hazardous discharges. A new sediment trap concept, fulfilling these requirements was recently developed and tested in a laboratory flume. A guiding channel trough the deposition area is combined with a slot check dam having an upstream bar screen with bottom clearance. This study aims to validate the proposed concept with a finer sediment mixture on an experimental set-up. Furthermore, we provide improved recommendations for bar screen design regarding minimal bar spacing and the range of applicable clearance heights. Optimal bar spacing and clearance heights of the bar screen are determined through individual tests of the bar screen with steady discharges and varying sediment supply intensity. The best performing bar screen configuration is subsequently tested in combination with a slot check dam using a flood hydrograph to simulate the influence of quasi-unsteady discharge. The proposed concept corresponds to a combined mechanical-hydraulic control and works well for a large range of grain sizes, if the bar screen is correctly adapted.

'Moon Knight': Oscar Isaac Reveals The 1 MCU Superhero He Wants To Team Up With
Oscar Isaac is about to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Moon Knight , and the world may never be the same again. Early reviews of the Marvel Disney+ show claimed it was very different from anything the MCU has ever done, which is a good thing. However, there may be times when Moon Knight moves on to other shows or movies, and he'll have to team up with established superheroes. So which character does Isaac want to fight?
Oscar Isaac makes his MCU debut in 'Moon Knight'
Moon Knight will introduce a new vigilante to the world, and he's unlike any MCU superhero. Oscar Isaac plays the show's main character, but it's complicated. Moon Knight has dissociative identity disorder, which means he has multiple personalities. His various personalities include Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Mr. Knight.
Isaac will start the show as Steven, a shy Englishman living in London. He soon discovers his dark past, this is where Marc will come to play. Marc was a mercenary in the comics who became a conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu after he nearly died under his statue. And based on the Moon Knight trailer, it looks like Khonshu is starting to haunt Steven in his dreams and while he's awake.
Moon Knight will delve into horror themes and explore a dark side of the MCU that has never been seen before, and Oscar Isaac is at the center of it all.
Which Marvel superhero does Oscar Isaac want Moon Knight to team up with?
At an early screening of Moon Knight in London, Hits Radio UK asked Oscar Isaac which MCU character he could see Moon Knight teaming up with.
"I mean, he's a little lonely, so that's the problem," Isaac replied. "I don't know, maybe… Who would he get along with in the MCU out of everyone else? Hulk maybe! Yeah, I could see it coming.
Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner/Hulk in She-Hulk which will be released in 2022 after Ms. Marvel . And many fans think Ruffalo might make a cameo as an Avenger near the end of Moon Knight . So Oscar Isaac would have accidentally spoiled his appearance in Moon Knight .
Either way, it looks like Moon Knight will be a part of the MCU for years to come, so there's plenty of time for a Moon Knight/Hulk team-up.
Oscar Isaac Says He Can See Moon Knight Getting Along With Hulk

'Moon Knight' Director Teases The Future Of The Vigilante
While speaking with SFX Magazine, Moon Knight director Mohamed Diab revealed what he thinks is in store for Oscar Isaac's future in the MCU.
"I dream and wish for a movie," Diab explained. "But with Marvel, the way they play it, it's not like you're graduating from a movie. You can go to a movie and come to a TV show and go back.
So he doesn't think a Moon Knight movie is in the cards. However, the director said, "But I can tell you for a fact, I can see [Moon Knight] in the next 10 years, not just the next movie. He's a very interesting character. He is probably the most interesting character for an actor to play. Oscar does a great job. People already love it, even from the trailer. I think the show is going to resonate with people, so I see it sticking around for a long time.
Moon Knight premieres March 30 on Disney+.

Q: image_tag to only the first loop for each iteration I'm trying to add a single image_tag to only the first loop in each iteration.
For example, I'm trying display 3 images. This is my current code:
<% @album.each do |album|%>
  <% @image.each do |image| %>
    <% if album.id == image.album_id %>
       <%= image_tag image_path %>
    <% end %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

If I loop through @image with 3 images I will get this output:

What I want is:

What this does is the first image thumb will serve as the cover page for the album. When you click on the link, it will display a lightbox gallery that loops through all the images for that album.
I can get this result with css a:nth-child and display: none. But display: none will still download all the thumbnail images even though they aren't displaying anything.

A: If Album and Image models are associated with following relation:
class Album
  has_many :images
end

class Image
  belongs_to :album
end

Then you can use following for better performance:
<% @album.each do |album|%>
  <% album.images.each_with_index do |image, i| %>
     <%= image_tag image_path if i==0 %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

That looks great Burt (be80be). What was the nominal value of the cap' you were measuring?
Great job, ill be ordering the pcbs this week.
That's exactly why I asked -- I was wondering what kind of stray capacitance there was from the solderless breadboard. I've never been able to use a crystal on the solderless breadboard I have here.
Funny, they always work with me Also shouldnt you be able to zero it out ? if so can you connect it via wire and zero out before connecting both ends?
I made a pickit2 on one worked fine so I moved it to a strip board and it wouldn't work, I looked and couldn't figure what was wrong. Then it dawned on me I forgot the caps on the crystal didn't need them on the solderless breadboard and had to have them on the strip board.
The board is looking good Atom! This is fun.
1. adding another trimpot to let the user do global calibration is a good idea. Please see what i said in post #17.
2. The button on PCB may be under the LCD? I still think the button is better OFF the PCB as they can position it nice on front panel. Then the space on PCB can be used for that 2nd trimpot.
3. Does it really need the ICSP connector? With through hole they/you can program the PIC and plug it in a socket. Removing ICSP connector makes the PCB simpler and smaller and probably makes routing easier.
I just measured two adjacent empty rows on a solderless breadboard (5holes/row) and they measured 3.1pF. Much less than I expected! Maybe it is double that or more depending what is on each side of a row (what is plugged in).
In the past when I have used xtals in breadboards I left out the 22pF caps and it always worked ok.
If that 107pF is the base reading (ie C1 and all the wires etc) you can zero it out by pressing the zero button (or short PIC pin RB2 to GND).
3. I like the ICSP because will allow debugging.
I knew you could still zero it out on breadboard.
Roman, ill get working on this today, since i will make the order by friday. Since the max is 50 x 50 mm i can still make the board a bit larger since its already smaller. Its not like its cheaper for smaller than the 50x50.
Bread board not much good for a cap meter it doesn't read them right I'll post my finished one this weekend I have a nice box for this.
Nice work ! Thank you for sharing !
How about making an even simpler version of cap meter using a PC terminal as a display and to power it from USB/RS232 port ?
Atom, that was a new breadboard but I only tested 2 rows, capacitance would be more with 3 rows (ie middle row to outer two) and a lot more if they had components with long legs plugged into those rows.
Burt, the cap meter should zero out ok, the zero function in software will remove all the breadboard capacitance and fixed delays like comparator switching times. Then the only thing displayed will be the extra (test) cap when it is added.
Hugo, that is a nice little DDS project in your link! He doesn't say what the top frequency is or the phase accuracy but it's still a cool project.
I'm not keen on PC-driven test gear as it's very limiting when you have to have a big PC next to whatever you are testing. I prefer small self contained testgear so it can be connected to whatever in the field and doesn't have grounding issues or need mains power etc.
Hey Roman, you think these will do a good job ?

Boy running late for kindergarten stops to say 'Pledge of Allegiance'
Posted at 9:44 AM, Sep 08, 2016
A Texas mother was baffled at first when her son, who was running late for school, stopped in his tracks. (Courtesy: Heather Nelson)
SANTA FE, Texas – A Texas mother couldn't understand why her 5-year-old son wasn't entering the school building – but when she found out, she took a picture that is now going viral.
Heather Nelson says her son Royce was running late for kindergarten when he suddenly stopped and bowed his head, several feet in front of the main doors.
"I was about four cars back so I just saw him standing there with what looked like him just looking at his shoes," Nelson remembered. "But that did not seem like Royce."
Nelson says she found out what he was doing when the officer outside the school told her "Mom, he's doing good, he stopped for the Pledge of Allegiance," putting a hand over her heart to demonstrate.
"Since they do not have prayer in schools he says a little prayer silently and that's exactly what he was doing," Nelson wrote. "I was so proud that he stopped when the Pledge of Allegiance came and stood his ground and did not move as the other kids were going in."
Nelson admits she was a little surprised that her son stopped like he did as the other kids rushed past him.
"When I picked him up I asked him what made him do it," Nelson said. In a matter-of-fact, "Duh, mom" voice, Royce told her, "That's what you're supposed to do."
She says she checked later with the officer to make sure she didn't suggest it to him, "but it was all him and I am so proud of him," Nelson said.

MURRY DUNCAN CONVICTED OF SEXUAL BATTERY
Earlier this month, Murry "Joey" Duncan, Jr., 49, a resident of Lonnie Duncan Road in Mt. Hermon, Louisiana, was convicted in the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge of sexual battery of a child under the age of thirteen. The sexual offense occurred while Duncan was supervising children on a trip to Baton Rouge. Immediately upon conviction, Duncan was remanded to the custody of the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison where he will remain until he is sentenced in January 2019. State law requires that Duncan's sentencing range will be from a minimum of 25 years to a maximum of 99 years.
Duncan still must stand trial in Washington Parish for crimes committed here. He was initially arrested by the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office in April 2014 and charged with aggravated incest and pornography involving juveniles. His second Washington Parish arrest was in May 2014 for two counts of video voyeurism, molestation of a juvenile and pornography involving juveniles. As the investigation continued, Duncan was arrested for a third time in June 2014 for an additional charge of molestation of a juvenile. Overall, Duncan is alleged to have committed sexual offenses against seven juveniles.
Duncan had been released on bond and required to wear an electronic ankle bracelet which would identify his location at all times. After his conviction in East Baton Rouge Parish, he was placed immediately in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison to await sentencing.
Washington Parish Sheriff Randy Seal commented. "Justice may sometimes seem slow, but in this case it finally happened. For his sexual battery on a juvenile in East Baton Rouge Parish, Duncan will receive a significant prison sentence which is certain to be lengthened once he is tried and convicted in Washington Parish. This was a traumatic case for the Mt. Hermon community and I am happy for all victims and others affected by Duncan's actions that he is finally receiving the justice he deserves. I congratulate our detectives as well as officials in East Baton Rouge Parish for their hard work in bringing Murry Duncan to justice. Our office looks forward to continuing to work with the 22nd Judicial District Attorney's office in Franklinton to prepare for Duncan's trial here."


A tisket. A tasket. A 100% recycled basket. 2nd graders with some weaving experience can turn a gallon milk jug and plastic grocery bags into a functional basket in which to plant a miniature lawn to decorate or play with. A hands-on exercise in transforming waste into new life!
Prepare the milk jug yourself, in advance. Very carefully cut the top off, leaving a 7" deep bottom. Trim the edge evenly. Starting 3/4" below the top edge, use the Exacto knife to cut 2 vertical slits in each of three sides. On the fourth side, cut 3 slits.
Ask your child to help you find colorful trash bags in the drawer (or bin.) You'll need about 4 bags, depending on their size. Select a few extra just in case.
Children will love helping pull each plastic grocery bag in half like a wishbone. Use your scissors to snip through the bottom seam. Each of you hold one side of the snip. On the count of three: pull!
Feeding plastic bags through the slits presents a new challenge to children familiar with the basic over-and-under weaving motion. The bags are fluffy rather than smooth and uniform. The plastic milk jug "warp" bends, flexes and even stretches a bit. Children will soon discover that holding the slits open with a finger or two helps the bags move freely. No need to worry about knotting or fancy finishing. Just poke the ends inside.
Poke a few drainage holes in the bottom and add soil to 2 inches. Spread the wheat berry sprouts in a single layer over the soil. Water carefully, then cover with a layer of newspaper.
Place sprouts in a sunny spot where they will stay warm. Each morning, water them just a little and replace the newspaper. When sprouts start to turn green, remove the newspaper. It takes a week to 10 days for grass to grow.
Let children use their tiny garden to graze toy animals or host a Lego conference or build a fairy house.
Instead of buying new sunglasses this summer, why not use recycled materials to make some of your own?
