Cemetery Tour
Learn all about the famous "cities of the dead" – sprawling cemeteries filled with ornate above-ground tombs – one of the most unique sights in New Orleans.
A first time visit to New Orleans must AT LEAST include the following sites
Made up of about 90 square blocks, this section of the city is also known as the Vieux Carré ("Old Square") and is enclosed by Canal Street, North Rampart Street, the Mississippi River, and Esplanade Avenue. The Quarter is full of clubs, bars, stores, residences, and museums; its major public area is Jackson Square, bounded by Chartres, Decatur, St. Peter, and St. Ann streets. The most historic and best-preserved area in the city, a survivor of two major fires in the 1700s in addition to Katrina, it's likely to be the focal point of your stay.
Garden District
Live oaks, wrought iron, pillars, and porticos are some of the aristocratic details of the Garden District, a neighborhood of spectacular 19th-century mansions built in styles ranging from Greek Revival to Gothic. Accessible from downtown via the St. Charles line streetcar, the Garden District is made for exploring. Take time to tour Lafayette Cemetery #1, quite possibly the most photogenic cemetery on the planet. You can get to the Garden District from the French Quarter via the Streetcar, city bus or bicycle. Riding the Streetcar is a fun adventure itself and allows you the see the gorgeous tree-lined St. Charles Street.
The historic Jackson Square, originally known in the 18th Century as 'Place d'Armes' and later renamed in honor of the Battle of New Orleans hero, Andrew Jackson, is a featured attraction in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans. This famous landmark facing the Mississippi River is surrounded by historic buildings including the St. Louis Cathedral, the Presbytère and Cabildo (Louisiana State Museums), the Lower and Upper Pontalba Apartments (the oldest apartment buildings in the U.S.) with retail shops, museums, galleries and restaurants on the ground level. For well over a half century, there has been an open-air artist colony at Jackson Square, with artists painting and displaying their work on the outside of the iron fence.
St. Louis Cathedral
Few cities in the world are so identified by a building as is New Orleans. The city is instantly recognized by the cathedral and its position overlooking Jackson Square. The Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States.
The Streetcar
Streetcars are more than just an inexpensive and convenient way to get around New Orleans. A trip on one is an event in its own right. New Orleans streetcars, described as romantic, historic, and quaint, rock along their tracks at a relaxed pace that's in tune with the laid-back city. Streetcars once were everywhere in New Orleans. In the 1920s, more than 200 miles of street railway lines were interlaced throughout the metropolitan area. Like elsewhere in the country, bus routes gradually began to displace New Orleans streetcar lines. Luckily for residents and visitors alike, three streetcar lines still operate in the city. The St. Charles Avenue line, represents the nation's only surviving historic streetcar system. All of its electric cars manufactured between 1922 and 1924 are still in use and are included in the National Register of Historic Places. New Orleanians revere them as a national treasure.
Take a stroll down the Moonwalk, the park and pedestrian walkway that runs along the river, stopping to notice some of the curious public art installations and local cultural monuments along the way. Ol' Man River will keep rolling along, and you can watch riverboats, cruise ships, and cargo vessels sail by, much like they have for centuries.
The best known street in New Orleans is Bourbon Street, a carnival of sights and sounds where people from all walks of life come to let their hair down. The party starts at the intersection of Canal Street and Bourbon, where brass bands gather almost every night, filling the street with dancers. Down Bourbon's thirteen blocks running to Esplanade Avenue, the revelry continues beneath beautiful cast-iron balconies, with a seemingly endless row of bars, music clubs, restaurants and gentlemen's clubs.
Cafe Du Monde, Open 24 hours a day
No trip to New Orleans is complete without a visit to the original Cafe Du Monde location. Since 1862, Café du Monde has been selling café au lait and beignets (and nothing but) on the edge of Jackson Square.
New Orleans Cemeteries
The above-ground tombs in New Orleans cemeteries are often referred to as "cities of the dead." Not only do the tombs look like buildings, but the cemeteries are organized with streets (and street signs) much like the cities of the living. Most of the city's deceased are interred above ground, a situation forced on the area because of the city's high water table and below sea-level elevation as well as due to old French and Spanish tradition. The unique cemeteries are worth a close up view, but only visit during the day and do not go alone. Bonus points if you find Marie Laveau's tomb in St. Louis #1 cemetery a few blocks north of the French Quarter.
Old Ursuline Convent, Open Monday-Saturday 10:00AM until 4:00PM, closed Sunday
Located in the French Quarter at 1100 Chartres Street, the convent dates from 1752 and is the only remaining building from the French colonial period in the United States and the oldest building in the Mississippi River Valley. It was a rare survivor of the disastrous 18th-century fires that destroyed the rest of the French Quarter. Despite great interior alterations and decay, the Convent is considered one of the most important historical and religious monuments in the United States and is one of the few remaining physical links with the French capitol in Louisiana. The adjoining St. Mary's church is the site of Matt and Sarah's wedding ceremony!
New Orleans Botanical Gardens, Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10:00AM-4:30PM, closed Monday
Located within City Park, the garden's collections contain over 2,000 varieties of plants from all over the world set among the nation's largest stand of mature live oaks.
New Orleans City Park
Stretching from Bayou St. John to Lake Pontchartrain, the 1,300-acre New Orleans City Park is one of Orleans Parish's two green jewels. (The other is Audubon Park in Uptown.) The entire city united to restore the park after Hurricane Katrina shredded its landscaping, downing many of its 600-year-old live oaks. The cleanup is transcendent, with new walking and biking paths, a great lawn for concerts, and a revival of beloved attractions. It holds botanical gardens and a conservatory, four golf courses, picnic areas, lagoons for boating and fishing, tennis courts, a bandstand, two miniature trains, and Children's Storyland, an amusement area, including fairy-tale figures upon which one can climb and carouse, and an antique carousel. You'll also find the New Orleans Museum of Art at Collins Diboll Circle, on Lelong Avenue, in a building that is itself a work of art as well as the New Orleans Botanical Gardens.
Audubon Park is tucked away in the quaint neighborhood of uptown New Orleans, six miles from downtown New Orleans. Visitors can find a quiet place here in a beautiful park setting away from the hustle of the city.

Q: Completness property A and B are non-empty subsets of $R$.Prove that:
$$sup A \cup\ B =max\{supA,supB\}$$
I tried by defining a set  such that T= $\{a\cup\ b:a\in A, b\in B\} $ and find out sup T and inf T but don't know how to proceed further please help.

A: Let $c = \max(\sup A, \sup B)$. Obviously, $c$ is an upper bound for both $A$ and $B$ since $c \geq \sup A$ and $c \geq \sup B$, and so $c$ is an upper bound for $A\cup B$. Now assume $d$ is also an upper bound for $A\cup B$. Then $d$ is an upper bound for $A$, so $d \geq \sup A$. Similarly, $d \geq \sup B$. Therefore, $d \geq \max(\sup A, \sup B) = c$. And so $c$ is the least upper bound for $A\cup B$.

I think the title says it all. Any idea on the table is welcome.
I have a class that is not thread safe and I'm trying to write a bridge between this class API and the rest of the world to make it thread safe so the whole point of the class is to eliminate existing race conditions. How do I test I was successful?
Thanks, I think that is the best you can do for "unknown unknowns" but there must be something better for "known unknowns".
I know exactly where the race condition is in ThreadUnsafeClass, can I do something better than -fsanitize=thread to test the same race does not happen in ThreadSafeClass?
You do realize ThreadSafeClass isn't thread-safe, right?
can I do something better than -fsanitize=thread to test the same race does not happen in ThreadSafeClass?
I can't think of anything specific right now. But just for completeness - you usually follow the data when dealing with concurrent access, so if the original data's access is serialized at all times then it's thread safe. If not, then not. If you have a concrete case and can share it, please do.
And for those of us idly following this conversation, that would be because..... ?
It can be modified outside the context of the class, so while @VRonin's mutex does provide serialization to all accesses made through ThreadSafeClass, it does not address the problem in entirety. If the integer was a private field in ThreadUnsafeClass, then all would've been well.
Ah, OK, a "language" thing. Yes I understood that, I assumed if everything does go through ThreadSafeClass.
Yeah globals are tricky, if it's not in the class in the first place, one could justifiably assume it's supposed to be used globally, hence protecting the access through a mutex in the class can only do so much. If you make sure you don't touch the global outside the class, then you have no problem of course.
I think valgrind actually will catch them by checking on multiple memory accesses. I can't remember for sure if it does or not.
What I usually do is just thrown stuff at my threads as fast as possible via a test to try to have the race condition pop up.
AFAIK there is no really easy way to detect them. That's why they are so nasty to deal with.

Callie & Brandon The will-they-or-won't-they who truly, truly, won't-theyed.
Callie and Brandon, after five seasons of tension, didn't end up together.
They did what would happen in the real world: They moved on.
At the wedding, the show flashes through Callie and Brandon's love affair..
At the end of the Grey's Anatomy (season 8), Robbins is hurt badly in a plane crash, resulting in her left leg being amputated. In the aftermath of the plane accident, in which Sloan and Lexie Grey were killed, the hospital is sued and eventually found liable for negligence.
Callie revealed that she didn't want to get back together. Having set right all of the cases that had troubled her over the course of her month (mostly) without Arizona, she said that she felt so free that "I don't want to fix us anymore." She loved Arizona but thought, "Maybe instead of loving you so hard…
If you watch the Fosters you know that Brandon and Callie are arguably the cutest couple. This is a story about after Idyllwild. Callie misses her period so she takes a pregnancy test and it comes out positive.
TVLINE | We did not find out what Callie decided when it comes to Gael and Jamie, but in her mind, did she choose somebody in this episode? No, she has not made a choice in this episode. TVLINE | The final scene with her pushing both guys away, I interpreted it as her choosing herself. That is part of it, yes.

Miranda Bailey get him to an operating room. After she escaped the hospital, she eventually returned to get another surgery for a colostomy bag removal. It's after the surgery that she fell into a coma and died.
Jesus and Mariana are very close and even when they disagree, they still love each other. Jesus and Mariana began living with Stef and Lena when they were six-years-old and were officially adopted by the couple when they were eleven-years-old.
Callie Adams Foster Eventually, Callie and AJ split up, and in the episode Dirty Laundry she and Aaron become a couple. They appear to have sex for the first time at the end of Chasing Waterfalls. Despite breaking up, they remain friends and he helps with Ximena.
To fans' delight, she ended up marrying fellow board member Callie Torres (Sara Ramírez) in season seven and went on to have daughter Sofia together.
Arizona Robbins "wears" in her role as an amputee. … A Step Ahead Prosthetics designed and built a specialized prop leg with a harness allowing it to be worn by a non-amputee. However, in order to give it the appearance of a real prosthesis, it was built from a cast of Capshaw's upper thigh.
Grey's Anatomy Star Confirms: Cristina Did Attend Derek's Funeral. Grey's Anatomy fans can breathe a sigh of relief: Cristina was there for Meredith during the most painful time of her life. Kevin McKidd tells TVLine that Cristina did in fact show up to Derek's funeral last spring to console her grieving BFF.
Freeform Canceled The Fosters In 2018 Karey Burke, then Freeform's executive vice president of programming and development, suggested the decision was made because the Foster kids were growing up and flying the nest, but a dip in ratings may have had something to do with it too.
April Kepner is a former attending trauma surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. After surviving a near-fatal accident, she resigned from Grey Sloan to help the homeless who need medical care.
Callie's lawyers really tried to burn Arizona at the stake when she was testifying for custody. … Apparently, the judge liked this King Solomon-esque behavior — because a mother who loved her child wouldn't ask for her to be cut in two — and awarded sole custody to Arizona. Needless to say, Callie is beyond crushed.
"The Fosters" Season 4, episode 17 may finally see Callie (Maia Mitchell) and AJ (Tom Williamson) finally breaking up. In "Diamond in the Rough," Callie continues her relentless pursuit to seek justice for herself and one of her friends. … But their relationship will immediately improve before the end of the episode.
Stef receives their divorce papers in the mail in The Long Haul when it was revealed that they would lose their house prior to that (they decided to file for divorce in order to have their finances tied up and, therefore, potentially have the buyers back out). They later get married again that same day.

Home Texas Court of Appeals Codicil Was Properly Rejected Because It Did Not Adequately Refer To Last Will And Testament
Codicil Was Properly Rejected Because It Did Not Adequately Refer To Last Will And Testament
By David Fowler Johnson on May 19, 2019
In In the Estate of Hargrove, two daughters offered their mother's last will and testament dated in 2017 for probate. No. 04-18-00355-CV, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 1703 (Tex. App.—San Antonio March 6, 2019, no pet. history). Their brother offered a subsequent codicil. After an evidentiary hearing, the trial court admitted the will to probate, issued letters testamentary to the daughters as co-independent executors, and denied the son's application to admit the codicil to probate. The son appealed.
The court of appeals noted that a codicil must contain "a sufficient reference to a prior will" and that, if it does so, it "operates as a republication of the will in so far as it is not altered or revoked by the codicil; the will and codicil are then to be regarded as one instrument speaking from the date of the codicil." Id. (citing Hinson v. Hinson, 154 Tex. 561, 567, 280 S.W.2d 731, 735 (1955)). The court held that the Hinson rule does not require that a codicil make a "specific" or "exact" reference to a prior will, but it does require that it state "enough information to permit adequate identification of the will being republished." Id. The court held that the codicil in this case did not make a sufficient reference:
The Codicil does not contain a generic reference to an existing will that could be construed to mean the February 2017 Will. Instead, it contains a specific reference to a will executed at a specific time that is incompatible with identifying the Will at issue here. As noted, Mary Jane's Will was executed on February 13, 2017. But the Codicil, which was executed a mere six weeks later, refers to "my Last Will and Testament, which was executed in the Summer of 2016." Jim Bob contends that this is actually a reference to the February 2017 Will. But the express language of the Codicil refers to a will executed at least seven months earlier. We cannot simply overlook the discrepancy. Nor can we, in the guise of interpreting the Codicil, rewrite it to state "executed in February 2017" rather than "executed in the Summer of 2016."
Id. The court affirmed the trial court's rejection of the codicil.

Earliest copies of Zapruder film?
z-film
national-archives
By Ramon F. Herrera,
September 8, 2015 in JFK Assassination Debate
One copy went to H.L. Hunt...
it did?
H.L. Hunt was the richest man in the world at that time. He was a rabid John-Bircher. It is believed by some that Hunt financed the Assassination and wanted it on film.

Roger and others: Here is the youtube clip of the turn onto Elm.
https://youtu.be/l2rEBLFih7M
About the head shot: It was described as a big white substance going up in the air and then the gory part was
shown on an Internet radio show. The blood is redder and Jackie is face to face with John Kennedy, her left
arm over his right shoulder. I will try to find it, but in the frames I saw there was no white (halo). Robert
Morningstar says he has the missing frames of Zapruder.
One important thing. The film is shot from behind Zapruder and from a higher area close by. I cannot figure
where this cameraman was standing.
Well, unless all the people lined up waving excitedly on the kerb suddenly ran out of shot and were replaced by a completely different set of onlookers, the brief clip purporting to be the turn onto Elm is a re-creation and not a part of Zapruder's original film.
David Josephs
Indeed Mark... Look at the size of the little tree on the south side of Elm. Looks like a reenactment of some sort....
and yes, the sidewalk witnesses are not the same at all
Edited March 28, 2017 by David Josephs
The buildings in back of the cars are not the buildings of Dealey Plaza.
On 9/9/2015 at 1:06 PM, David Josephs said:
Mr. LIEBELER - Now, Mr. Zapruder, after you had the film developed I understand Mr. Sorrels from the Secret Service came over and helped you get the films developed and you gave two copies of your films to Mr. Sorrels, is that correct?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - Yes. One we have sent to Washington the same night and one went over for the viewers of the FBI on Ervay Street.
Mr. LIEBELER - That's the Secret Service?
Mr. ZAPRUDER - The Secret Service--I brought one roll there and they told me to dispatch it by Army plane or I don't know what they had done with it but it was supposed to have gone to Washington and one of them, I believe, remained here with Mr. Sorrels. He came to my office quite a few times to show them to different people.
Army plane? What army plane?
Who in the Secret Service would have told Zapruder to send anything by way of the Army? Who in the Army would Zapruder have talked to to send anything on an Army plane?

Ths zfilm timeline says this though.... Army doesn't fly out of Naval bases, do they?
Schwartz and Zapruder delivered two prints to Sorrels. Sorrels asked them to take one to the Dallas Naval Air Station in nearby Grand Prairie, where a jet was immediately dispatched to take the print to FBI investigators in Washington, D.C.
On 2/7/2017 at 6:36 PM, David Josephs said:
If it helps to see what is being talked about.
Which reenactment would this be? Can anyone identify exactly what this film is? Or, is this an unknown photographer? (I favor reenactment, but still need to ask) There were many out and about that day. Just survey the existing record of photos and films and you will see many unknowns.
Stephen Lavin
I agree this is a re-enactment and although there are limited direct references online I would suggest it is the video component of an art installation entitled The Eternal Flame
'The Eternal Frame is an installation which recreates a typical living room space from 1960s America, complete with sofas, standard lamp, carpet and wallpaper. Two sofas are arranged around a television set and the walls are covered with memorabilia relating to American President John F. Kennedy. Produced as a collaboration between two key California collectives of the time, Ant Farm and T.R. Uthco, the video, screened on the television, re-enacts the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas on 22 November 1963 as a critical examination of the role played by the media in the creation of historical spectacle and myth. The installation takes as its starting point an excerpt from the only filmed record of Kennedy's assassination: Super-8 footage shot by Abraham Zapruder, a bystander on the parade route. These now iconic few frames of film are transformed in The Eternal Frame into a dark, brutally direct, multi-layered event that is simultaneously a live performance spectacle, a taped re-enactment of the assassination, a mock documentary, and a simulation of the Zapruder film itself. Performed in Dealey Plaza in Dallas — the actual site of the assassination — twelve years after the event, the re-enactment elicits bizarre responses from its spectators, who react to the simulation as though it were the original assassination'
.https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/t-r-uthco-ant-farm-the-eternal-frame-t138
I would also suggest it is the source of numerous claims of alterations to the Zapruder film, the existence of other films of the assassination and quotes made about the events of that day

I have looked at all of the reenactments I can find and nothing looks like the film in question. At best the film can be described as Zapruderesque. But, it is not the Zapruder film. I can see no one has identified the background information on this film. So, it is open to speculation.
On 1/22/2020 at 3:54 AM, Kathleen Collins said:
But, some are. They are somewhat different in appearance. I don't know what that means. The buildings on east Elm are the Purse Building and two others. In Zapruder we see the Purse Building and one other, a small building, and then behind that a reddish building. The Court Records Building is prominent in both.
The Purse Building in both films has a different slightly different appearance suggesting there is some time between these films. It also suggests that the photographers were at different filming locations. In the film in question you can see further east on Elm Street. But, the Dal-Tex and TSBD are missing. This might suggest that the right hand side of the film has been cropped. I am sure that others with a better sense of photography can verify or reject that.
In the Zapruder frame there are road signs across Elm Street and those are not in the other film. The red light is clearly visible in Zapruder, but not so discernible in the other film. It may be there, but I am distracted by what appears to be a face in the air. Once seen, it is difficult to unsee and is a distraction to what is in that area.
The crowds are not the same. Particularly, the group known as Mannequin Row. The Lead Car seems to be correct as a white, 4 door, 1961 Mercury Monterrey. Seeing the Lead Car says this scene is in the Zapruder Gap. (At least one can think that is so. But, maybe not.)
So, all things considered it is not a reenactment as indicated by other reenactment films. It appears to be a reconstruction or manufacture of the scene of the presidential motorcade turning onto to Elm Street built from different scenes acquired elsewhere.
Unless someone can provide better information on this film, I would dismiss it as having any significance to anything.

Hey there John... To me it appears like a re-enactment, or a rehearsal for one of the many movies about the time period...
Here is an actual Zframe reduced in size to show you what I mean...
The lens seems a bit less telephoto than Zapruder's who said he was on full zoom... and the location of the photographer must be further to Zapruder's left and behind?

I actually think the building with 3 windows in 1963 was changed over the next couple of years....

Ray Mitcham
In Dj's black and white photo above showing the green arrows, the background has definitely been overpainted, thus blanking out the three vertical windows shown in the Z film. I wonder why.
In the black and white photo the camera was higher than Zapruder's camera.

I always read your comments. There's always something new and interesting such as below. A different way to look at things.
In that particular film in question the road signs at the intersection of Houston and Elm are missing. Any notion why?
There is a detailed history of reconstructions/ reenactments here
https://jfk007.com/tragedy-restaged/
on closer examination the original thread clip appears to be a detailed reenactment with the lead car, motorcycles and follow up car visible, and thus my initial thought that it is from The Eternal Flame of 1975 is incorrect, as although they had lots of different footage from at least 17 versions of their reenactment, they did not have these props
it is clear that the film clip at the beginning of this thread comes from Stones JFK - which is a compilation of footage both real and re enacted - see from 0.36
from looking at the clips from the rest of JFK below I would now suggest that original thread clip is part of footage re created by Stone from multiple cameras, angles, heights and locations in the plaza - see from 1.20

Iran Condemns Bamiyan Terror Attack, Sympathizes with Afghans
Afghan security personnel arrive at the site after two blasts ripped through in the city of Bamiyan / Photo by AFP
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh has condemned the Tuesday terrorist incident in the Afghan city of Bamiyan, which killed and injured dozens of civilians including innocent women and children.
In his Wednesday statement, Khatibzadeh also expressed sympathy with the government and nation of Afghanistan.
At least 14 people were killed and 45 wounded when two explosions ripped through a marketplace in the city of Bamiyan in central Afghanistan, according to officials.
Zabardast Safai, the police chief of the eponymous province said on Tuesday the explosives were hidden at the side of a road in Bamiyan, home to many members of the mainly Shiite Hazara ethnic minority.
The victims included 12 civilians, including children, and two traffic police officers.
Spokesman Tariq Arian said two magnetic bombs caused the blasts in the crowded market, calling it an "unforgivable crime".
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The Taliban, which has been waging a rebellion against the foreign-backed Kabul administration since being toppled in late 2001, denied involvement in the bombings.
Bamiyan, a famous tourist resort among local and international tourists, was long cherished as one of the relatively safest corners in Afghanistan due to its remote location in the central mountains.
The dominant local tribe, the Hazara, opposed the Taliban, who massacred thousands of Hazara during their rule.
The mainly Shiite minority has often been targeted by groups such as the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan and also by the Taliban in the 1990s.

In less than two months, the much-anticipated Hilton Des Moines Downtown will open its doors to the city and to the nation. For over two years, many project stakeholders in the Des Moines metro have been working to promote the convention hotel to groups in the Midwest and nationwide in an effort to increase Des Moines' presence worldwide. The design and construction team collaborated diligently with all parties to help sell and deliver a first-class hotel to the people of the Des Moines metro and beyond. So, what does it take to help sell the hotel to those who will potentially hold a conference in Des Moines?
It was important to project stakeholders that the hotel makes a strong connection to Iowa in its design and amenities.
"One of my key selling points is telling people that our lobby is the city's living room, with its high ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, interior finishes and artwork that make the Iowa connection. It brings the city into the hotel," said Tamara Chubb, director of sales and marketing for the Hilton Des Moines Downtown.
Des Moines is a growing technology hub and several elements of the hotel incorporate patterns following the technology theme. For example, the hotel's windows are arranged in a random binary pattern, to add visual interest to the façade, similar to barcodes, and the carpet in the hotel was custom-designed to emulate electrical circuits. The artwork connects to Iowa's agrarian roots; everyone locally, in particular, can connect to the artwork in the hotel. Even the restaurant, named the Park Street Kitchen & Bar, will feature local ingredients and products. The menu is anchored in the abundance of regional foods with wholesome and hearty fare.
The design and construction teams collaborated to create a virtual reality video of the building interiors to help sell the project. The visuals in the video are exact replicas of what the space will look like when it is finished, and the video will be used beyond construction completion as a sales tool for the hotel.
"The virtual reality video builds excitement in everyone that we've been talking to about the hotel. It is much more revealing than simply showing 2D renderings of the building," Chubb said.
Early in project construction, two model rooms were designed and built adjacent to the new Hilton's temporary office as another tool to showcase the hotel to potential customers. The replica hotel rooms allowed people to tactilely experience the future hotel rooms and were built to help market and book events.
Weitz directed and produced videos of the prefabricated bathroom PODs installed in the hotel. The videos not only made the sales process easier, they also helped to educate potential customers.
"Everything that Weitz has done has helped to market the hotel. The PODs, in particular, are unique. Instead of just saying, 'here is a typical bathroom,' they gave our sales team a story to tell our potential clients," Felling said.
The latest, most advanced technology will operate the hotel. Patrons will be able to check-in digitally with their phones prior to the check-in time. Further personalization for hotel guests will be the ability to set room thermostats with their phones, as well as customize room TVs and other technology with guests' Netflix and Spotify accounts, for example. The hotel has state-of-the-art sound systems and LED lighting that hooks up to the internet to allow for future updates.
Because of the amount of technology in the building, it was essential for the construction team to hold daily standup meetings, which is part of the Lean construction process, to help organize and coordinate the installation of all of the components and systems.
"Engaging Weitz's project manager as our tour guide for potential clients personalized the tours and instilled confidence in the groups we toured," Felling said.
Felling also noted that being ahead of schedule in construction positively impacted sales.

Elections for the National Assembly are nearly here, and we've been told all kinds of things by all kinds of people, some of whom have tried to convince us they care for us a lot, even though it is the first time they've seen us. In our Parliamentary system of government, the lower house is de jure more powerful than any other part. It forms the government, acts as the government's first check, and most importantly, directly represents the people. For the purpose of representation, there isn't much to say — unless they've done this before, we have to assume they can all do a good job of "being the bridge between the people and the government," as they have undoubtedly repeated over and over again the past year.
I write this piece as a guide for this year's elections to help choose a suitable party to form the government. This is the third time we've had elections in the country and my first time as an adult voter. I remember 2008 vividly. I was in middle school and the entire year, every debate competition held anywhere, the topic was always Democracy, and I always ended my speeches quoting the Gettysburg Address, that Democracy is the government of, for, and by the people. It was such a sweet sentiment. That was the year I started to really read about Democracy, especially the American form of it. That was the year they elected their first black President. That was the year the GOP's candidate stopped a woman from racially disparaging Sen. Obama. Senator McCain disallowing a woman to derogatorily call Sen. Obama a "Muslim Arab" and saying to her, " [Senator Obama] is a decent person, family man, citizen that I happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues." I have carried that scene in my head ever since.
If there was talk about the issues, then forgive me for being cynical, but I call BS on all those promises. The "issues" I remember the PDP government running on was fiscal responsibility (remember they called the DPT the "debt party") and China. And what happened a year after they formed the government? A huge pay hike. And where is the national debt now? Worse off than when they took office. And who stood up to China when they came bullying last year? Forgive me if I don't buy the narrative about "strategic silence" on the Doklam issue. But I digress.
Now we're in 2018 and I am an adult. Since 2013, I have learned a lot about American democracy and have become disillusioned. I have lost a little respect for Sen. McCain based on his hypocritical vote against ACA last year. I have learned that even in the US, the talk of issues is only superficial. Whereas in Bhutan we have a cult of personality around party leaders, there they have identity politics. But so what? We should still strive towards a democracy of issues. So what if the example I looked up to turned out to be a Potemkin village? We can model ourselves around the possibility of a perfect democracy, reality be damned, we're still growing, still finding our feet. And for that reason, I have here compiled the five main issues our country will face in the next five years. Based on which party gives the best answers to them, I will choose my government, and I invite all my readers to do the same. Forget voting for your friend or family member. Don't even take a "moral" stand on it. If they are an awful candidate, still tell them you voted for them. A lie that saves both our kin's feelings and builds the nation we want is a rare example of a mandatory lie. Consider it the compromise between "Good Citizen" and "Good Friend": a fundamental duty as a citizen and a friend.
The Economy — In the next five years, when the Puna Tsangchu is commissioned, the Bhutanese economy will see huge growth. If proper policies aren't in place by then, we risk a recession. At the same time, the next government will have to do something about the national debt. The economic truth is that it doesn't matter how MUCH the debt is, it only matters how you pay it back. The Jubilee Debt Campaign in their 2015 report, The New Debt Trap, rated Bhutan as 'high risk' (of defaulting). We'll need to vote in a party that promises to do something about this.
Child Poverty — Figures of child poverty around the country differ, but if you, as I did, make a choropleth map, you'll find it is minimal in Thimphu and rises the farther it goes from there. So, rural development, especially in terms of child services is woeful in Bhutan. We'll need to vote in a party that promises to do something about violence against children, children's education, and most importantly, something about children going hungry.
Infrastructure — This is the staple promise of every candidate in Bhutanese politics. It is as cliched as a South Thimphu candidate promising to move the Babesa sewage plant. Yet it is valid. No single investment, not even a direct cash drop, does more for economic development than investment in infrastructure. In my mind, Bhutan in a few decades will have economic centers like Thimphu, Monggar, Gelephu, and Phuentsholing. And around these cities are small towns where people live. Even if that is not where we end up going, a strong road network is essential.
Education — The issue of central schools is a controversial one. Depending on who you ask, it is either a super success or a downright national embarrassment. So, whatever government comes in has to first study central schools and then work a national education plan around it. But that's not the full extent of what we should expect from our next government. The number one education issue on my mind is that of structural unemployment — how is it that we have complained about structural unemployment every day since even before democracy began, and still not have done anything to the education system to fix it?
Agriculture — Bhutan's population is still primarily agricultural. A good government that invests directly in Agriculture will benefit more people than investing in any other sector (save infrastructure). We need a government that promises to help our farmers improve their yield and find better markets. A government that actively protects our farmers through subsidies and incentives. This is not a temporary measure till a point when agriculture becomes less important. It is a permanent investment. Every industry in human history has come and gone, but agriculture always remains.
I understand there are many other important issues too, but these five are the most pressing, most relevant and most needful of help. The last two governments both did well for small business and the next one only has to build on current standards. National security is no worry. Bhutan remains one of the only carbon negative ecosystems in the world, so the environment is safe and well-taken care of. Our culture has taken good shape, and it might actually be more secure now than at any time in the last half a century of development. Most things are fine with the country. The few issues we do have, need immediate attention. I know I will be voting based on what these parties tell me about these issues, everything else is secondary to me for now. And it should be for you too. The sanctity of elections is that you exercise total control over what happens in that election booth, and the sanctity of the voter is that you always choose to vote in favor of the collective good, not personal. And as I said above, don't feel the pressure to be "moral" about telling people who you voted for. It is fine to lie. If someone pays you and tells you to vote for them, take the money and say you did, but in that booth, vote for the right government. Same the case with your friends and family.

The U.S.-Haiti Border: How the United States Blocks Haitians Wherever They Go
Five days after the 2010 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people in Haiti, the United States sent a jumbo jet flying over the countryside. As people stood amid the wreckage, the prerecorded, disembodied voice of Raymond Joseph, the Haitian ambassador to the United States, spoke from the sky: "Listen, don't rush on boats to leave the country. If you do that, we'll all have even worse problems. Because I'll be honest with you: if you think you will reach the U.S. and all the doors will be wide open to you, that's not at all the case. And they will intercept you right on the water and send you back home where you came from."
The U.S.-Haiti border had arrived. It came with 16 Coast Guard cutters roaming Haitian shores and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security opening up detention beds run by the private prison company GeoGroup in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. U.S. officials call this elastic apparatus in Caribbean waters, which can expand at a moment's notice, the "third border." Here, there is an enforcement web of many agencies—including the Coast Guard, Border Patrol, CBP Air and Marine, ICE, and even U.S. Southern Command—that emanates from the U.S. in Puerto Rico and South Florida. All these agencies participate in joint annual exercises, known as Integrated Advance, that are meant to deal with "maritime mass migration in the Caribbean." Integrated Advance is part of Operation Vigilant Sentry, the DHS migration interdiction plan in the Caribbean. In 2015, officials even disguisedthemselves as migrants heading north on boats as part of the exercise and set up a command and control center. "A migrant operation is one of our most likely missions at Army South, so we have to be prepared," said Major General Joseph P. DiSalvo, Army South's commander.

For the US, the Climate Plan Is More Walls and Armed Agents at the Border
Not long into our conversation, the young woman at the migrant resource center in Sasabe, Sonora, told me why she had left her home in Baja Verapaz, Guatemala: floods had ruined her family's crops. Her name was Flor* and she was 19 years old. Two Category 4 hurricanes battered Central American coasts in late 2020, unleashing intense flooding throughout Guatemala, drowning harvests, and threatening starvation for the coming year. The migrant center, called Casa de la Esperanza, is just two blocks from the US port of entry. Mexican flags fluttered throughout the town on September 15, the day before Independence Day. Flor told me it was exactly a month since she had left home. She was sitting next to her companion, Esmeralda, who was 20 and also from Guatemala. They told me they had already tried to cross into the United States the week before, but were arrested and deported by the US Border Patrol.
Earlier that week, the World Bank released a report titled Groundswell, which predicted that, if global carbon emissions are not mitigated, 216 million people will be on the move by 2050 from six different regions, including Latin America, as a direct result of the changing climate. This came a month after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's August report delivered a dire warning: unless there are "immediate, rapid, and large-scale reductions to greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to 1.5 degrees celsius will be beyond reach." Outside the migrant center, you could see the 30-foot wall going up the hill; it had been constructed by the Trump administration in late 2020, around the same time Flor's crops were being submerged by catastrophic flooding. The red, rusty wall left a wide scar of razed land visible from miles away.

9/11's Border Legacy: Razor Wire, "Smart" Surveillance, and Billions in Security Contracts
Along the 20-foot border wall in Nogales, Arizona, six lines of coiling razor wire blanket the rust-colored bollards from top to bottom. Shortly after Joe Biden was inaugurated in January, Nogales mayor Arturo Garino asked that it be cut down. Although the wall itself predated the Trump administration, the razor wire was installed by the US military in 2019. Today, it is the most visceral reminder of Trump's viciously anti-immigrant administration. But the concertina wire, and the wall, aren't going anywhere. In February, the federal government issued a call for bids from private industry to maintain border wall infrastructure. As Garino said, "I know that the government has a tendency of, when they put something up, they always keep it up, doesn't matter what administration is there." Indeed, the maintenance of this flesh-slicing wire is but one layer of a complex and massive border apparatus and industry that Biden has inherited.

Interview at Teen Vogue: The Case for Open Borders Is Laid Out in the Book 'Build Bridges, Not Walls'
Interview conducted by Will Meyer starts like this:
"The iconic abolitionist activist Angela Davis once wrote that "walls turned sideways are bridges." This creativity and openness to our fellow humans — this bridge-building — is what we need to do to address the unfolding crises of climate change, mass migration, and late-stage capitalism, according to investigative journalist and author Todd Miller. Miller has spent decades studying the politics of border regions, tracing the human and environmental toll of decades of militarization, forced displacement, and detention. His fourth and latest book on the subject, Build Bridges, Not Walls, from City Lights Books, makes an abolitionist case against borders.
In a recent phone conversation, Miller spoke to Teen Vogue about the personal, political, and spiritual case to tear down border walls."

'Build Bridges Not Walls' Interview on KJZZ
"The U.S. border with Mexico has been a hot-button region for generations.
The figurative temperature was turned up during the four years of the Trump administration as a new stretch of border wall was a top priority, and as rhetoric about undocumented immigration became more intense.
How different would it be if we didn't have borders between nations and walls were uncommon, rather than on the rise?
Todd Miller explores those concepts and others in his book "Build Bridges Not Walls: A Journey to a World Without Borders."
The Show spoke with Miller about what images come to mind when he thinks about the Arizona-Mexico border."

Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border Across the World. Interview on Solidarity Radio
"In this Conversation, we spoke with Todd Miller, author of Empire of Borders: the expansion of the US border around the world. Miller has authored four books: Build Bridges, Not Walls: A Journey to a World Without Borders (City Lights, 2021)
Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border Around the World (Verso, 2019),
Storming the Wall: Climate Change, Migration, and Homeland Security (City Lights, 2017), and Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Homeland Security (City Lights, 2014). In this conversation, Todd gives us an update on where we are on border expansion — and the colonial history of border creation and enforcement. We also talk about how borders work to maintain a neoliberal global economic system and why we need to look towards abolitionist movements and transnational solidarity to create a world without borders."

Adrian Benn is a serving army officer and a keen ultra runner and endurance athlete. He contacted RunUltra to share his experience of both working and running under extreme heat stress. He has some suggestions on how to manage the potentially lethal trio that is humidity, air temperature and solar (sun) light.
I have served with the Army for 24 years and I love endurance races: ironman, ultras or just very long, isolated trekking. This means I have run, cycled and, on occasion, crawled through some very hot places, and I have done it without falling over through heat stress. The foundation of that success comes from my father's profession. He was an Environmental Health Officer in the Army and I was one of the few kids who went to work with a man who added cockroach clearing or hornet nest splatting to my homework.
It would be fair to ask what on earth that has to do with summer running. Part of his duties was to advise people on the risk the environment creates for activity levels. Early on, I understood the link between humidity, solar radiation and air temperature as well as the parts per million of chlorine in a garrison swimming pool. As I said, an unusual childhood.
The point I want to explore here is that three-way link between humidity, air temperature and solar (sun) light that, if not managed well, may lead to a poor race day, or even a fatality. It's something I work with daily in civilian fitness, mountain leadership and in the military.
As part of my work, I have been able to access a device that is widely used in assessing the risk to individuals in certain working conditions. It is called a Wet Globe Bulb Thermometer (WBGT) which used to cost thousands but is now available for a few hundred pounds. Don't worry, I am not suggesting you go out and buy one but I am going to use its findings to help you understand and manage your own heat stress.
Globe. A black ball thermometer placed in the sun to measure solar direct heating. It's round to ensure that reflected radiation from walls, water or snow is accounted for.
Dry Thermometer. This measures the air temperature, generally the figure you get on the weather report. Think of it as the equivalent of the heat you get when you stand in the shade.
Wet Bulb. A thermometer wrapped in a wet gauze which allows it to be cooled by evaporation – the equivalent of human sweat.
What is revealing, and critical is that not all three readings are given the same weight. Roughly it is 10% for the Dry Thermometer, 20% for the Globe but a whopping 70% for the Wet Bulb.
As you can see, by far the most weight is given to the effects of humidity. This is because high humidity reduces the effectiveness of sweating and wind-assisted evaporation.
For runners, understanding this allows you to efficiently manage heat even if you don't have the device available. Hot, sticky days impede your sweating which has 70% of the impact. A hot, but dry night, will reduce the 20% globe and 70% wet bulb effect even if the 10% air temp is high.
If you understand the above relationship, it empowers you. It allows you to view your running in a different way. You can take advantage of what you can change and manage what you cannot.
In the military, one big battle for soldiers is "on the man" equipment. Body armour, helmets and packs all increase the inefficiency of the body's sweating as well as adding weight. Runners, generally, are not worried about gunfire, I hope, but by choosing the right clothing that allows your skin to sweat and then evaporate that moisture makes the best use of the 70% humidity factor. If you add barriers to that process, and the relative humidity is high, you are making the whole situation worse.
You can reduce the effect of sun (globe) by choosing a wise route. I have seen runners taking the shortest route in the sun, when the other side of the path is in the shade. Choose the shade as it will reduce the thermal load. Running closer to the down slope side of a path will allow more updraft breeze to cool you. Don't stop in the sun to read a map, when 10ft away is a tree they can cool under, while doing the same. It's about choices, if heat is killing you then that must be the key consideration, not the fastest line.
Think flat surfaces. Your car bonnet (perpendicular to the sun) heats more than the sides (parallel to it). You can protect the body's flat areas i.e. top of head and shoulders, as they will heat up the most. Such precautions help reduce the addition of heat to the body.
There are a few points where you can actually assist cooling. Where blood passes closest to the skin's surface you can cool more efficiently than where it is covered by blocky muscle or the unmentionable wobbly stuff. You notice this effect in reverse during winter. Covering the throat (Carotid Arteries) and wrists (Ulnar and Radial Arteries) plus associated veins makes you warmer. So, a bandana loosely tied over wrists, throat and even ankles, that is wetted regularly, will have a cooling effect.
Remembering to use shade, cool what you can and cover what you must. If you start over heating think about stopping in shade until you recover. Even SLOW DOWN and let your internal combustion engine rev down a bit. Maintain hydration to assist sweating.
We are all individuals and I have deliberately left out climate adaptation, disease and fitness here, that's perhaps for another day. What I would advise you to do is run the WGBT elements through your head and adjust accordingly. A sticky, humid day is different to a clear, dry, sunny day. I'd rather run in a desert like Iraq in 50C+ than in a 30C jungle. Change your race plan to match the environment. A few minutes slower per mile, may mean the difference between a finish or a DNF.
Interesting, though my favourite races have been of the 35+ degrees jungle variety. I find that keeping running as much as possible works better for me and it's when I slow to walk that the heat seems to increase. Running seems to create its own cooling breeze. Or is that just psychological?

What is International Wheelchair Day?
Did you know there's an actual International Wheelchair Day? Don't feel too bad – most people wouldn't have, either. Indeed, March 1 brings wheelchair users together from around the world to celebrate the positive impact a wheelchair has made on their lives, and since it was first launched in 2008, such revelries have taken place in Australia, Nepal, Senegal, South Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
In doing our part, 1800Wheelchair would like to take this opportunity to explore the history behind what has arguably been the most important mobility device ever created. Why do we say that? Well, the wheelchair carries on as a piece of technology that just about everyone on the planet is familiar with, used by millions suffering with disabilities across the globe.
What's more, the history of this device proves how technological advancements have been ultimately driven by circumstances, changing demands and ingenuity of wheelchair users throughout time.
(Very) Humble Beginnings and Stephan Farffler
While it is uncertain as to what can be considered the very first wheelchair, stone inscriptions from ancient Greece and China suggest that wheelchair-esque furniture has been around since the sixth century AD – at the very least. However, one of the best-documented early examples of what we now recognize as the modern wheelchair was made by an unknown inventor for King Philip of Spain in 1595, who in his later years suffered from severe gout, making walking difficult; this chair boasted what would now be called an elaborate design, with plush upholstery, arm and leg rests and four small wheels which demanded it be pushed around by (at the time) a servant.
The first self-propelled wheelchair was invented in 1655 by Stephan Farffler, a paraplegic clock-maker in Nuremberg, Germany who built his own mobility device when he was only 22, having broken his back as a child. Taking advantage of his clock-maker expertise, Farffler based his wheelchair's frame on a three-wheel chassis, which worked by turning handles attached to a geared front wheel using a system of cogwheels and cranks. In retrospect, it is easy to envision this wheelchair as a prelude to the modern day bicycle – even though the bike wouldn't be invented for another few hundred years.
The Science Museum Group has perhaps the most interesting example of a self-propelled chair inspired by Farffler's design in its collection, the chair boasting three main wheels and driven by chains through two hand cranks on either side of the rider.
From the second half of the 18th century came a number of significant wheelchair developments, namely from the town of Bath, at the time a popular spa town destination for the sick and disabled from across Britain and Europe who sought comfort and healing from the physical therapy approaches and mineral water offered there.
A number of wheelchairs were designed and offered to rent in order to meet the demand created by immobile visitors who took to the waters, the most popular design of this period coming in the form of the "Bath Chair," brainchild of John Dawson in 1783. This model was supported by two wheels joined by an axle beneath the seat, aided by a small pivoting wheel in front of the supporting footrest. The Bath Chair could be steered by the user via a long curved rod connected to the front wheel, though it still had to be pushed by an assistant or attendant; variations of the chair quickly became very popular and soon rivaled the Sedan Chair – realized as an enclosed box with a seat carried by two men on poles – as the primary form of transportation for the wealthy disabled across Britain.
The aforementioned Science Museum Group even has a Bath Chair made for Queen Victoria in 1893 on display, which was taken advantage of during her later, less-agile years.
According to patents we've done research on, many improvements were made to the wheelchair to promote comfort, independence and maneuverability throughout the 19th century, including the invention of push-rims and rear push wheels.
From X-Frame to Model 8
Perhaps the most commercially successful wheelchair to be marketed was the revolutionary X-Frame folding variant, developed in the 1930s by American engineers Herbert Everest and Harry Jennings after the former became paraplegic in a mining accident. In fact, the relatively lightweight and easily transportable chair is still familiar today.
Again, the Science Museum Group Collection has a Model 8 version of this folding wheelchair in its inventory, built in the 1950s and which was used in nursing homes, hospitals and private institutions. The Model 8 could be maneuvered either by the patient via the metal rims attached to each wheel or by an assistant pushing the chair.
Advancements Into Modern Times
Unprecedented advancements in manual wheelchair technology have been implemented since the 1930s, with materials such as titanium and aluminum rendering devices much lighter than older steel versions, to say nothing of the advent of athletic models specifically adapted for sports performance.
The "Shadow Racer" sports wheelchair, as an example, was designed for road and track racing by Jim Martinson, an injured Vietnam veteran, while Quickie Designs manufactured sports wheelchairs alongside tennis and basketball chairs in the early 1990s. The development of sports wheelchairs highlights the role of personal ambition when it was a driving force for technological adaptions and advancements.
Today, the wheelchair is one of the most commonly-used assistive devices for enhancing the personal mobility of people with disabilities, and is actually considered a basic human right for people with limited mobility by the World Health Organization. Indeed, wheelchairs have opened up a whole new world of independence for these folks, enabling participation in economic, social and cultural life they may not have experienced without chairs.
The way we here at 1800Wheelchair see it, International Wheelchair Day is a welcome moment both to celebrate the innovative technological advancements which have changed the lives of millions and to also consider this reality: throughout history, as is still the case today in most developing nations, only the privileged few who need wheelchairs actually had access to them.

Garage door openers are responsible for closing and opening garage doors. These openers basically come in three types and you can choose the one that you think will suit you perfectly depending on how the openers work. Different residents of Hemet have chosen openers depending on their preferences. Here is a little information about each type of garage door opener to help you settle on an opener of your choice.
Some people in California prefer chain drive garage door openers. They do this because this garage door opener makes the garage door moves easily and does not require a lot of effort to open and close the garage door. If your garage is situated near the bedroom or a place where the noise from the chains moving will be a nuisance to you, you should consider another type of door opener.
This garage door is opened using a chain like belt. The belts that are used to open the garage doors are made using different types of materials. They move in the same way as the chain driven openers but are quieter and can be placed on garages that are close to bedrooms. They are a little bit costly than the chain driven doors but they are worth the cost because they are very efficient.
There are garage door openers that are opened using screw drivers. These openers work with screw drivers. It is the screw drivers that move up and down to open the garage door. These screw driven garage door openers were very common in the past. They are meant for garage doors that have low maintenance costs. If you are not sure which garage door opener to settle for, you can consult a garage door company so that the experts who work here can tell you which type of opener is the best opener for the type of garage door that you want and for your house as well as the location of your garage door in the home. The type of garage door opener that you settle for should be one which you are comfortable with and which you think you can be able to handle.
