Director of Rail Mark McCole Presents at 14th Annual Light Rail Conference
In July 2019, North Star's Director of Rail Mark McCole attended the UK Light Rail Conference in Manchester where he presented on Early Operator Involvement in Light Rail Projects – Past, Present & Future. Key points that Mark outlined in the presentation were:
• The positive recognition of the benefit of Early Operator Involvement, evidenced through the large number of DBOM light rail PPP projects and the increasing use of 'Shadow Operators' early in project development;
• That the perceptions that operators add 'complexity' and excessive 'redundancy/complexity' into early design choices is receding;
• Specialist resources (especially at the senior level) are scarce and developing people in the long term to support light rail projects is a priority.
Mark concluded that these developments are positive. Further work is required to create procurement processes that allow for Early Operator Involvement that does not preclude O&M companies from bidding for the O&M franchises. Similarly, operator involvement needs to be a key part of the development of technological solutions in light rail.
Mark summarises below a number of the key themes that emerged from the conference as a whole.
New Light Rail Projects Viability – Central Government Support and Funding
At the conference, there was major reflection on the slow progress and perceived lack of support for new light rail projects at the governmental level in the UK with local authorities and 'city region' transport executives being tasked with funding schemes with little central government support. UK Tram, the Light Rail Transit Association, suppliers and operators are all lobbying the government but with Brexit, a focus on HS2, Crossrail and other heavy rail priorities, there is a perception in the industry that progress in terms of securing new light rail projects is not a priority. Discussions at the conference focussed on intensifying lobbying and working with suppliers and the broader industry to try and look at lower cost light rail solutions.
At the event there were discussions and presentations on new technologies that will have a transformative impact on light rail:
• Catenary-Free Operation - There are existing light rail systems that provide catenary-free operation in the form of underground power supply (e.g. Dubai Tram) and the use of super capacitors (e.g. Zaragoza and West Midlands extension). However, the interesting technological development is that of hydrogen power cells to power light rail vehicles. This system would ultimately remove the requirement for high voltage power supply and recharging points (required for super-capacitor systems) and provide a greener, lower cost and more sustainable solution. The technology is being pioneered in the USA on small 'street-cars' with plans to develop the technology to work on larger Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs).
• Autonomous LRV Control – The development of autonomous LRVs is well underway; Siemens have produced and showcased a prototype and Alstom are very close to developing a similar vehicle control system. However, 'full' implementation of such systems could be five to ten years away (five years in terms of introduction and ten years for use of the system without driver monitoring / intervention).
• Driver Attention Devices - Following the Sandilands incident, the industry is working hard to develop driver attention devices that detect tram driver distraction and micro-sleeping events. Mark took away from the conference that the use of sophisticated facial recognition and mapping technology is proving problematic, and the more traditional systems that require regular driver response via a button and/or the Traction Brake Controller are less than satisfactory (likely to irritate tram drivers and cause repetitive strain injury).

Written by Jennifer Smith in the book Canada and the United States: Difference That Count, the Grass is Always Greener: Prime Ministerial and Presidential Government tackles the difference between the presidential government of the United States and the Prime Ministerial government of Canada. Smith focuses her discussions on three divisions namely selection, term and removal, and powers.
In the selection process of the president and the prime minister, there is a major difference. The process exercised in selecting the leader of the US presidential government is much more complicated and long compare to selecting the leader of Canada's parliamentary government. However, the US system of selection is older and written compare to Canada's system.
According to Smith, the American system of selection can be described as an Electoral College system of election. This system was made by the Constitutional framers in order to balance the system of the government which means that the selection of the president will not be on the hands of merely legislative branch of the government and somehow will not rely on the hands of the people. The framers have doubted the people's ability to know the candidates true personalities and in turn resulted to the Electoral College system.
The Electoral College system of election is a method of indirect election of the president and is based on the states. Each state has there contributions of electoral votes which depends on the number of senators and congressman in the state. Originally, the people will vote the electors that will vote for them. It was then an effective system until the political parties came into the scene. With the involvement of the political parties on the electors, the influence to the results of the state's elections is considered an all out win. The president and vice-president chosen by the political party are eventually the all-out-winner in a state. Although the constitution provided how to manage the presidential and vice-presidential election, it does not specifically discussed how to be a specific candidate or contender. This is usually determined through a party selection. The political parties hold their national convention to choose their candidates for president and vice-president.
On the other hand, the Canadian system differs from American system based on its convention. The decision-making rules in the Canadian system convention require the candidates with the fewest votes after each ballot be dropped. This process continues until one of the candidates gains the majority of the cast votes. Another difference of the Canadian system of government to the American government is the prizes of the winning candidate- the party leadership and the obedient party.
The terms and removal in office of the president is originally designed by the Constitutional framers. The framers decided to design a four-year term for president with unlimited re-eligibility. With the history of the four-term success of Franklin Roosevelt, legislators were able to pass the 22nd amendment which limits the president terms in to two. Removal, on the other hand, is equivalent to impeachment and is constitutionally applicable to the US system of government. An impeachment can be charged against a president, vice-president, and civil officers of the United States. The grounds may vary from bribery, treason and any high crimes.
In terms of power, the difference between the two types of government is obviously seen. The American applicable constitutional provisions are brief but clear. The executive power and being the Commander-in-Chief are all part of the president's power. Moreover, the American cabinet which includes all the federal government departments are all selected by the president with the conformity of the Senate. In contrast with the American cabinet, the Canadian cabinet is a collective unit.
In every form of government there are always lapses and weaknesses. As what we always hear, there is no perfect in this world; even a powerful government can experience lapses on its own system. The important thing is how the officials and leaders of the government be able to adapt and learn the imperfections of their own system of government and in turn will choose to have their decision for the benefit of both the country and the people.

Canada's 10 Most Beautiful University Campuses
Posted on August 29, 2017 February 27, 2021 Author: Lindsay MacNevin
Canada is blessed from coast to coast with incredibly beautiful and unique university campuses. While some feature historic buildings and castles, others are blessed with lush landscapes and an abundance of flora. Canadian universities have done their part to keep up these beautiful landscapes and as more modern buildings are created, they are done so in environmentally friendly ways. From the bustling metropolis of Montreal to the quiet paths of Thunder Bay; here are our top 10 choices for the most beautiful university campuses in Canada.
10. McGill University -Montreal, QB
McGill doesn't just have one beautiful campus but two, both of them gorgeous in their own ways. The downtown campus features the lush greenery from the slopes of Mount Royal, combined with over 70 state of the art buildings. Macdonald Campus on the other hand is located on the very tip of the island of Montreal and features 100 year old buildings, numerous bike and walking paths, an awesome arboretum with skiing trails and just steps away from the mighty St. Lawrence River. Expect buildings here that have commanding stone walls, copper roofs, impressive stained glass windows, concrete plazas that have been turned into gardens. A shuttle runs between the two campuses and no matter where you study, or visit, it will be downright beautiful.
9. University of Toronto -Toronto, ON
The University of Toronto offers three different campuses but it is no contest when it comes to which one is the most beautiful of them all. St. George's campus is located right downtown and manages to blend incredible historical architecture with green space. Visitors should make their way to Victoria College and check out the Old Vic building, the oldest of the college and perhaps the most beautiful. Head over to University College, the founding college of the University of Toronto and check out Laidlaw quadrangle, which looks more like a medieval courtyard than a university campus. The Mississauga campus on the other hand is located on 225 hundreds acres of protected green space on the Credit River and provides a beautiful background for students and visitors alike.
8. Queen's University -Kingston, ON
Think limestone buildings, stunning architecture and waterfront; as that is exactly what Queen's campus offers students and visitors. Fall is one of the best times to visit this campus as the leaves turn into brilliant shades of red and orange, making for a striking scene against the historic buildings. Students here spend a lot of time at Douglas Library and it's not hard to see why, as not only is the building stunning but it features a pretty awesome fourth floor which houses a "Harry Potter" room. Although this campus isn't as large as others on this list, the students and faculty make up for that as school spirit is high. Part of what make this campus so beautiful is the sense of community that is felt; expect to see a lot of blue, red and gold worn around campus as students show off their school spirit.
7. Western University -London, ON
Western offers the best of both worlds, historical architecture mixed with modern buildings and amenities. The campus is situated along the banks of the Thames River in London and offers trails both throughout the campus and along the Thames River. London isn't the most exciting city on this list which means that students have created their own fun and expect to see them whipping down University Hill on skis and snowboards in the winter. The gothic style buildings have been restored to remain charming while the insides have been renovated, giving students the best of both worlds. This university also signed a pledge a few years ago to transform the campus into a model of environmental responsibility. Plans are in the works to add more buildings to this campus and expect great things in the years to come.
6. Bishop's University -Sherbrooke, QB
This small liberal arts university in the tiny town of Sherbrooke offers a lot in term of beauty. Founded in 1843 the goal of this university is to educate the whole person, not just focusing on one subject. The campus is spread over 500 acres, at the junction of the St. Francis and Massawippi rivers and features some of Quebec's most historic buildings. Many weddings are held at this university campus as St. Mark's cathedral provides and absolutely stunning setting to say "I do". This historical chapel features intricate woodwork inside and beautiful stained glass windows. McGreer Hall is the oldest building on campus and stands out as a stunning red castle like building, which looks even more amazing when white snow surrounds it. School spirit and community only adds to the beauty of this school and students who attend Bishops make lasting friends and family.

5. Mount Royal University -Calgary, AB
Mount Royal has a beautiful campus, there is no denying that, especially during the warm seasons when the ponds are shimmering and the gardens are blooming. One of the most notable features of this campus is the outdoor amphitheatre where the students and the community can gather for events, such as plays and concerts. Mount Royal is working hard to do their part in being environmentally friendly and in 2006 opened its first certified LEED building, and has since dedicated to making every new building on campus LEED certified. Make sure to head to the Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts, a beautiful modern looking building in which you can take in a fabulous performance or take some time to reflect in one of the many green spaces throughout the campus.

4. McMaster University -Hamilton, ON
Located in the residential neighborhood of Westdale in Hamilton, Ontario; McMaster is beautiful both inside and out. There are amazing trails to be found throughout the campus and in the surrounding areas, as well as conservation areas and a plethora of waterfalls to explore. The main campus itself is both bicycle and pedestrian friendly with wide paved paths throughout, making it easy to get from one place to another. Make sure to have lunch at the Refectory, one of the original buildings on McMaster, as the top floor features a restaurant that looks over a beautiful treed ravine. One of the highlights on this campus is Cootes Paradise, a wildlife sanctuary owned by the Royal Botanical Gardens which features an abundance of flora and fauna. With a mix of original architecture, new buildings and lush landscape, this university is downright stunning.
3. Lakehead University -Thunder Bay, ON
Lakehead University has two campuses, one based in Orillia and the other in Thunder Bay and it is here in Thunder Bay where you will find one of the most picturesque campuses in the country. Spread out over 116 hectares, under the steep cliffs of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, this campus features 39 buildings and an abundance of green space. What you won't find here is the rows upon rows of historical buildings like many of the campuses on this list. Instead you will find stunning nature, all around you. Buildings were designed with floor to ceiling windows so both faculty and students could feel like they were outside. With gardens overflowing with beautiful flowers and Lake Tamblyn running through the campus it is easy to see why in the warm months, classes are often taught outdoors.

2. University of British Columbia -Vancouver, BC
It is arguably one of the most beautiful university campuses across the country with incredible surroundings and breathtaking views. The Vancouver campus is located at the western tip of the Point Grey Peninsula, surrounded by forest, ocean and mountains. Getting to downtown Vancouver takes just twenty minutes and there are numerous beaches just a short distance away. To add to this awesome campus are the ultra cool buildings situated here. Visitors should definitely head to the UBC farm and check out the yurt, one of the only yurts on a university campus in the world. The library is light and airy, featuring literary quotes on the outside of the building while the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health is sleek and modern with glass windows and a unique shape. Whether you are viewing this campus by air, walking through it or attending as a student, it is simply breathtaking.
1. Royal Roads University -Victoria, BC
Up until 1995 this University was actually a Military College and features an impressive main building, the Hatley Castle. The castle was completed in 1908 and was once meant to house the Royal Family, but instead they remained in the UK as the world was at war. Lucky for students and visitors alike, this campus is now a public university spread over 260 hectares of parkland with incredible surroundings. Walking through this campus gives visitors gorgeous views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the impressive Olympic Mountain Range. Walking, hiking and biking trails wind throughout the campus and you will come across an incredible Japanese Garden, among other hidden treasures. The entire campus is a part of the Hatley Park National Historic Site and between the incredible buildings and extensive gardens; it is clear why this truly is the most beautiful campus in the country.

Given the strong balance sheet (net D/E at 0.7x), GPL is well-positioned to capitalize on industry consolidation that is expected to accelerate in wake of ongoing NBFC liquidity crisis.
While pre-sales were steady in last two quarters at Rs 800 crore each (GPL's share at ~Rs 400 crore) they were lower than quarterly run-rate of >Rs 10 bn in FY18 – impacted by lower new launches (only 3 in H1FY19 due to delay in approvals).
Given the strong balance sheet (net D/E at 0.7x), GPL is well-positioned to capitalize on industry consolidation that is expected to accelerate in wake of ongoing NBFC liquidity crisis. Management expects significant acquisitions in the coming quarters.
We like the stock from 3-5 years perspective on: (1) continued polarization of demand towards reputed developers, (2) strong new launch pipeline and (3) continued scale-up in business development with higher focus on profitability. However, the valuations remain rich (P/B of 5x vs 1.5-2x for peers). Maintain 'hold'.
However, GPL expects to increase pre-sales run-rate in H2FY19 on improved outlook on new launches.
Operational cash inflow was led by collections of Rs 11.7 bn (Rs 9.5 bn from residential and Rs1.6 bn from commercial), aided by collections from BKC and Hyderabad exit.
in Q1). Consequently, net debt declined by Rs 2.5 bn to Rs s 15.3 bn (net D/E now at 0.6x vs 0.7x in Q1FY19) – lower net D/E aided by equity inflow from GIC in the previous quarter despite revision to net worth post Ind-AS 115. Cost of debt remained largely stable at 7.88% (from 7.86% in Q1) – the lowest in the industry.


Prom can be one of the most memorable nights of a young woman's life — a chance to wear gorgeous formal attire and head-turning hair and makeup. But while the memories of prom are priceless, the costs of the going to prom can be pretty steep. According to a study by Visa, parents on average spend almost $1,000 on their teenagers for prom. While many would like to participate in such a special occasion, not everyone can afford it.
Enter reWEARable — a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young women in metro Detroit celebrate the special night in style — without the hefty costs.
The organization has partnered with Detroit Public Schools Foundation for "Say Yes To The Dress," its 2nd annual prom dress giveaway, which takes place from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 14 at the Golightly Career and Technical Center at 900 Dickerson Ave., Detroit. The first 200 girls at each event will receive a free dress, a pair of shoes, and accessories.
reWEARable was founded by Danielle Lutz, a senior at Wylie E. Groves High School, after recognizing how young women desire to look their best on prom night, but not everyone can make that happen. After two years of collecting prom dresses for the Princess Project, an organization based in California, Lutz decided she wanted to help girls in her own community.
As Lutz prepares for college, she is making plans to ensure reWEARable's continued success. "Even when I go off to college, I still want to be involved to run [reWEARable]," she says. "There have been a lot of girls in the community who have taken a strong position with reWEARable, and hopefully I can create a small board of directors."
Say Yes To The Prom Dress is designed to be a celebratory event and provide attendees with a memorable shopping experience as the giveaway will have a red carpet, backdrop, light refreshments, and a special raffle. While the event is hosted by Detroit Public Schools Foundation, students from the metro Detroit area are welcomed to attend.
reWEARable is also accepting donations for dresses and accessories, which can be dropped off at 300 S. Old Woodward Ave., Birmingham. They also have a GoFundMe page.
For more information, you can contact Lutz at DanielleLutz@rewearable.net or visit rewearabledetroit.net.

Reem Al Marzouqi () ist eine emiratische Ingenieurin und die erste emiratische Frau, die in den USA ein Patent für ein Auto erhielt, das ohne Hände gefahren werden kann.

Ausbildung und Karriere
Al Marzouqi wuchs in einem "Haus voller Jungs" in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten auf. Dies gibt sie als Grund für ihre Begeisterung für Autos an. 2008 begann sie ihr Studium an der Universität der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Ihr Ziel war es, Architektin zu werden. Da sie keine Einser-Studentin war, schloss sie ihr Studium mit einem Bachelor in Bauingenieurwesen ab. Während ihres Studiums an der VAE arbeitete sie mit Ingenieurbüros in Abu Dhabi und Dubai zusammen. Dazu gehörte Musanada, ein Unternehmen für Gebäudemanagement und Design in Facilitymanagement. Für ihre praktische Ingenieursarbeit gewann sie den zweiten Platz beim nationalen Emirates Skills Zimmerer-Wettbewerb. Al Marziugi war die erste und einzige weibliche Teilnehmerin.

Al Marzouqi erhielt 2012 das US-Patent für ihre Erfindung . Das Patent wurde ihr 2017 auch in Japan erteilt. Das System verwendet einen Lenk-, einen Beschleunigungs- und einen Bremshebel, die ausschließlich mit den Füßen bedient werden. So können Menschen Auto fahren, ohne ihren Oberkörper einsetzen zu müssen. Das System ist das erste seiner Art. Die Universität der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate hat auch Patente in China und der Europäischen Union angemeldet. Die Erfindung ist einer der bemerkenswerten Erfolge des Takamul-Programms.

Al Marzouqi wurde in einer Ethikvorlesung an ihrer Universität aufgefordert, eine patentierbare Idee zu entwickeln. Dabei erinnerte sie sich an ein Fernsehinterview in Inside Edition mit Jessica Cox, der weltweit ersten lizenzierten armlosen Pilotin, die in ihrem Interview die Schwierigkeiten erwähnte, Autos über lange Strecken nur mit ihren Füßen zu steuern. Als sie sich mit ihren Skizzen und Ideen zum ersten Mal an ihren Professor wandte, wies er sie zunächst ab. Er sagte ihr, sie solle sich auf ihr Studium konzentrieren, anstatt zu erfinden. Als der Professor jedoch die Skizzen sah, ermutigte er Al Marzouqi, ein US-Patent zu beantragen. Dies spricht für ihre Problemlösungsmentalität – sie löst echte Probleme, anstatt gedankenlos zu erfinden.

Reem hat seitdem an der Ausstellung Expo Science International teilgenommen. Ihre Erfindung wurde in die Ausstellung "A History of the World in 100 Objects" des Britischen Museums aufgenommen, die von April bis August 2014 in Manarat Al Saadiyat, Abu Dhabi, zu sehen war. Ihre Erfindung repräsentierte die Zukunft und wurde von Neil MacGregor, dem Direktor des Britischen Museums, als "ein brillantes Beispiel für das Streben des Menschen nach Neuem" bezeichnet.

Aufgrund ihrer akademischen Leistungen und ihrer außerschulischen Aktivitäten wurde sie von der Academy of Achievement ausgewählt, um 2014 als Innovations- und Technologiedelegierte am 51st Annual International Achievement Summit in San Francisco, Kalifornien, teilzunehmen. Al Marzouqi hält außerdem zwei Guinness-Weltrekorde, die beide 2014 aufgestellt wurden: die größte von Heliumballons aufgezogene Flagge und das längste Hochzeitskleid. Reem hat beide Kunststücke entworfen und den Dubai Club for the Disabled mit der Arbeit am Hochzeitskleid beauftragt, um ihre Talente zu unterstreichen. Al Marzouqi wurde auch in den Listen Arabian Business: Die 50 einflussreichsten Frauen in der Arabischen Welt 2018 und Die 100 Klügsten Leute der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate aufgeführt.

Seit ihrem College-Abschluss und der Erlangung des ersten US-Patents eines Emiratis arbeitet Al Marzouqi mit dem Flughafen Abu Dhabi zusammen, um das Midfield-Terminal zu modernisieren und den Flughafen zu einem Technologieführer zu machen.

Sie ist verheiratet und hat zwei Söhne.

Well, she told us she can't stop. And she's certainly not lying.
Following up from Twerk-gate 2013, Miley Cyrus released the music video for her new ballad, "Wrecking Ball." Watch (or try to) as she gyrates naked on a wrecking ball and does dirty things to a sledgehammer, all because of a broken heart.
Um, at least she's not twerking?


Another single vision, strategic vision is good forever.
And, you remember the table?
Of course, this table is not isolated, it's in the world of in the world.
And on the same picture I've added on both sides megatrends.
Megatrend is, something that happens.
Whether you exist or not.
No impact, it just happens.
So let's give a definition.
one day or another is going to impact your business.
That's a good definition of, of the megatrends.
And so I go backwards.
It's good to remember that even with the best vision of, in front of you.
You may not forget to look outsides.
In a changing world, what's happening?
Because of course, one day or another you have to adapt.
aging population and all those things have an impact.
is to remind, remember what we said from lecture one or two.
When we spoke about models, a megatrend is a simplification.
But we now know simplification on the left side in our mind.
Yes, but in this case, your sifi, the simplification is in front of you.
you're going to look at not to deduce your strategy.
What an easy life, well you can deduce strategy from megatrends.
No, the strategy is induced the other way around from the world to you.
And, you see the freedom, you remember what we said about the freedom to induce.
again, that's where the main important things happen.
Apple computer, 20 years ago, only in computers.
At that time, a megatrend around Napster.
download musing, music without paying for it.
It was organized by Napster and similar websites.
Imagine you're in charge of Apple.
It's not too difficult to tell, not my problem.
I'm in the computer business.
Free music downloads, maybe it's true, but no impact.
Somebody said, hey, this will not end soon.
It's a big movement, download of music.
And they decided to end-use a new box at Apple.
We should enter music, the world of music.
And that's how the iPod was born.
And it's a good example because remember, long time ago, I'm a fan of the Beatles.
And the company of the Beatles was called Apple.
ago, I remember, there was like an argument.
company use the Apple label, used by the Beatles?
And the judgement was, yes.
Because music is so far away from computer.
Apple sells the Beatles on his product.
And maybe a last example for, for this video of a, of a megatrend.
Another one is products are more and more reliable, a megatrend.
And let's take this megatrend like a century ago.
And let's talk about Michelin, it's a good example too.
And the Michelin guide, the guide of Michelin, how did it begin?
Somebody, at Michelin, looked for an idea to help customers.
But at that time, they were only tires manufacturers.
So, somebody has the idea okay, let's build, like, a list of garage.
car of the tire, if there is a problem.
And this was the first ID at, at Michelin for the guide.
But slowly, with the megatrends.
another megatrends, they have more and more free time.
add to the list of garage, like restaurants.
Because, while during the time required to repair the car, maybe people want to eat.
And slowly it's, it evolved.
And one day, there was a shift in the simplification.
no more a list of garage with some restaurant.
But a list of restaurants with some information about the garage.
mechanic and his fact since the beginning of this course.


Soth's meteoric rise to international acclaim began with his first book, Sleeping by the Mississippi, published by Steidl in 2004. The book has sold through numerous print runs and has long been out-of-print. It embodies not only a moment in which a new and original voice emerged with an unusual ability to transpose subtle and highly personal stories of local American life, but also marked a significant early event in the photo-book publishing boom we are currently experiencing. The success of his two subsequent volumes, Niagara (2006) and Broken Manual (2010), combined with the hugely influential exploration of self-publishing under his Little Brown Mushroom imprint, have all reinforced Soth's position as a master of the book form.
The recent success of Songbook (2015) has seen a return to the mainstream of book publishing. This catalogue is a special object, bringing together an essay by Aaron Schuman spread across 28 large format postcards, with mini facsimile versions of Soth's four books (three of which are now out-of-print), all housed together in a luxurious printed and embossed clamshell box. Box: Embossed cardboard box with 4c printed paper cover and interior printed 1c. (228 mm x 223 mm) Postcards: 28 large format postcards printed one side with the images from the exhibition. With an essay by Aaron Schuman spread across the backs of the cards. One additional card printed with an introduction by Kate Bush, curator of the exhibition and Director of Media Space, London. Four mini facsimile books: Sleeping by the Mississippi (113 mm x 108 mm) Niagara (109 mm x 128 mm) Broken Manual (86 mm x 112 mm) Songbook (113 mm x 108 mm).

As the economy begins a slow recovery and subdivision development work again gets under way, it makes sense to reassess the approach to the basic form of land development design. Developers assume that when they hire a land surveyor to subdivide their land, the surveyor will produce the most efficient, attractive and marketable layout. So what is the optimum layout?
As the economy begins a slow recovery and subdivision development work again gets under way, it makes sense to reassess the approach to the basic form of land development design. Land surveyors are a major source for the design of land developments-in particular, suburbia. Developers assume that when they hire a land surveyor to subdivide their land, the surveyor will produce the most efficient, attractive and marketable layout. So what is the optimum layout?
One of the most popular suburban subdivision design elements is the cul-de-sac. Developers and real estate agents love cul-de-sacs because they are highly desirable and, thus, easy to sell. Cul-de-sac lots have a huge rear yard (bringing premium prices) because of the extreme pie shape, and the curving streets guarantee that no traffic will speeding through. The wide angles between the adjacent home sides allow some useable side yard space as well as added privacy. Quiet, serene and safe-what's not to love?
The reality is that existing design guidelines for cul-de-sacs create a substantial amount of waste with relatively little benefit. In the upper Midwest, for example, design guidelines stipulate that a cul-de-sac must have a 120-foot-diameter right-of-way with a 100-foot to 110-foot circle of asphalt because fire departments say they need that much room to turn a fire engine around. As a result, a typical cul-de-sac consumes 8,500 square feet of paved space. Yet, a bit farther south, those dimensions change to a 100-foot-diameter right-of-way with a 90-foot-diameter circle for a total of just under 6,000 square feet of space. That's a substantial difference.
There are other problems, too. An 8,500-square-foot volume of cul-de-sac paving for four lots equates to 2,150 square feet per home, which is 40 percent more paving per house than a home along a typical straight street. This means the home will cost the city 40 percent more for snow removal, resurfacing, etc., forever. Additionally, cul-de-sacs have no connectivity or flow of space. And homes that are placed to offer premium views to their occupants typically form a visual barrier to others of that view.
A collection of new methods called prefurbia (preferred urbia) throws out convention in favor of a more-efficient design.
When planning subdivisions, everyone generally assumes that the minimum dimensions are the most efficient. However, the minimum dimensions in a cul-de-sac are typically very inefficient.
By making a typical northern cul-de-sac larger-for example, 160 feet in diameter with a one way narrow lane (18 feet wide) incorporating an organic island (see picture below right)-the pavement area plummets. Such a design uses 10 percent less paving and has a central "park" that beautifies the landscape and allows for drainage.
Placing the homes at a deeper setback from the right-of-way (40 or 50 feet or more instead of the typical 25-foot setback) stretches the length of setback line and makes the lots much less pie-shaped. Most ordinances allow setbacks to be extended without asking for a planned unit development (PUD) permit because ordinances specify only minimums, and these dimensions are all larger.
What's more, the larger cul-de-sac requires no more land area (density per unit) than a traditional cul-de-sac. While a lot in this larger cul-de-sac is less pie shaped, it still has a significantly larger rear yard. Additionally, the lots overlooking an 8,800 -square-foot park will be of much higher value than those overlooking the 8,500-square-feet of asphalt in a traditional cul-de-sac design. The park can be used for gardens and recreation. Another benefit is that draining into the center eliminates curbing on one side, which makes the subdivision even more efficient and green. Additionally, since the design doubles the number of premium cul-de-sac lots using less paving and overall land area, fewer cul-de-sacs-and therefore fewer intersections-are needed, which increases the efficiency of the overall neighborhood.
This design also ushers in a new era of pedestrian connectivity. Instead of a narrow sidewalk on both sides of the street, this new form of cul-de-sac features a more environmentally friendly, less expensive 6-foot walkway on one side of the street that extends through and beyond the cul-de-sac and leads to the park areas in the middle. The interconnecting walks can be made wide enough at certain locations to provide emergency access that would rival tight grid patterns.
The deeper setbacks produce longer driveways, but new design and construction methods can get the pavement volume close to that of a standard driveway and heighten curb appeal.
Since all minimums and setbacks extend beyond the minimum required dimension, there should be no arguments from the municipality. In fact, municipal officials are likely to embrace this type of design. Also, this design allows developers to become inventive. Neighborhoods developed through this design enhance the sense of space, reduce impervious surface area, create more-affordable homes and lessen the environmental impact of land development. Even if you do not subscribe to coving, few can argue the advantages of creating this new form of cul-de-sac. Understanding this advanced method of subdivision design can help surveyors leverage more business as the economy regains momentum.
What do you think? Does this new form of cul-de-sac design offer new opportunities for surveyors in land development work? Please share your comments below.

Operating a combination padlock for the first time could be very confusing. We write this step-by-step guide so you have something to turn to just in case you are lost.
The combination of the lock is either found inside the packaging box or will be given to you by the vendor. The combination is normally a set of 3 numbers that you needed when turning the dial during the unlocking process. Turning the dial is basically either clockwise (to the right) or counter clockwise (to the left).
In this illustration (Fig 1.3) , we have 02, 24 and 18 as our combination numbers.
Lets now proceed to the step-by-step instruction.
As shown here (Fig. 1.3), the first number is 02. In this case we have to turn the dial three times clockwise stopping on the first number (02).
Next. Turn the dial counter clockwise passing on the first number (02) once and stop on the second number (24).
Lastly, turn the dial clockwise and stop at the last number (18).
Lastly, pull the shackle to open the lock.
Remember, do not share you combination to anyone and make sure the door is securely closed before leaving.
If the instruction is still unclear for you, watch our video below.

Human Resources New Year's Resolutions for the Donald, Ivanka, Andrew, and Carl Era
If you're an HR manager, director, or vice president, you've probably not only got a pretty long holiday wish list, but also a fairly sizable list of New Year's resolutions. It probably includes some of those pesky tasks that build up over the year—reorganizing and digitizing personnel files, compiling information for performance reviews, reviewing and updating software for third-party payroll platforms, and the like. Your to-do list probably also includes some new things, like preparing IRS filings under the Affordable Care Act for plan-year 2016 (due in March 2017).
HR Directors – What's On Your Holiday Wish List?
At this time of year, everyone makes lists. Gift wish lists and New Years' resolutions are pretty common. But what about HR directors—what's on your holiday wish list? From a people management perspective, you might want to have front-line supervisors that are given sufficient time to actually manage the people they're in charge of. You might want better communication and integration between long-term business goals and the pressure to cut workforce-related costs. From a legal perspective, you might want better guidance from regulatory agencies, or perhaps even more tools from the government to help you understand the rules and how to apply them to your workforce.
One Foot on a Banana Peel
Associating with a group with ties to violence anywhere in the world may now lead to liability here in the United States. Chiquita Brands — the banana and other produce grower and distributor — is being sued in a federal court in Florida by individuals who claim the company associated and conspired with a violent military organization in Colombia. The claim is that Chiquita's association with the Columbian organization led to the murders of plaintiffs' family members.
New I-9 "Smart" Form is Actually a Smart Improvement
Turn a seasoned investigator from the Department of Labor or the Department of Homeland Security loose during an audit of an employer's I-9 forms — the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration forms that employers are required to complete for new employees — and chances are that they will find some mistakes. Even some of the most diligent employers have incurred penalties for what most of us would consider minor errors. And when an audit really goes badly, an employer can face huge fines, debarment from federal contracts and, in some rare cases, a criminal investigation.
Whistling Up a Storm: OSHA Finalizes Whistleblower Protection Rules for Seamen
OSHA recently finalized its rules for whistleblower protection complaints under the Seaman's Protection Act ("the Act"). The Act, which was amended in 2010 in response to court cases holding that OSHA regulations did not generally apply to seamen on vessels,1 expands OSHA's anti-retaliation jurisdiction to nearly all ocean-going employees.

The First 100 Days: How Soon Will Workplace Regulations Change Under President Trump?
Under President Obama, a number of government agencies that regulate the workplace were particularly active. OSHA, the EEOC, the DOL, the NLRB and the OFCCP all reached out and touched a number of issues in the workplace. And in areas where the agency could not act, and Congress would not act, the President used executive orders to supplement formal regulation, particularly as to the workplaces of government contractors. The question we are asked, almost daily now, is what among all of those agency actions and executive orders will change in the Trump presidency and how quickly such change will occur.

Quotes are meant to be tools of inspiration and reflection. There are hundreds of thousands of quotes about any subject one can possibly imagine as they are used by people on a daily basis in their lives.
Being in love with my job (translation, what else?), there are a few particular translation quotes that really inspire me or get me thinking. The below are 10 of the most famous of these quotes which I think each translator should be familiar with.
If you have any other translation quotes that you find quite inspiring, please share them in the comments below!
These quotes made me learn a lot about translation.
I have a book of french aphorisms about translation, "Bréviaire d'un traducteur" by Carlos Batista.
Something may have been lost in translation, but it certainly wasn't love.
The wonderful effects of love. Of loving not only that which is born of the other, but that which demands to be born. And of doing it again. Not only does a translator help to give birth; he/she helps something demand to be born in the so-called target language. A good translator loves and respects not only what has been thought [le pensé] but also a "way of thinking," as the saying goes.
I love the quote that says that translation, at best is an echo. It demonstrates that translation is not only science, but also an art form.

Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System - and Themselves (Unabridged)
The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System - and Themselves
A real-life thriller about the most tumultuous period in America's financial history by an acclaimed New York Times reporter. Andrew Ross Sorkin delivers the first true, behind-the-scenes, moment-by-moment account of how the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression developed into a global tsunami.
From inside the corner office at Lehman Brothers to secret meetings in South Korea and the corridors of Washington, Too Big to Fail is the definitive story of the most powerful men and women in finance and politics grappling with success and failure, ego and greed, and, ultimately, the fate of the world's economy.
"We've got to get some foam down on the runway!" a sleepless Timothy Geithner, the then-president of the Federal Reserve of New York, would tell Henry M. Paulson, the Treasury secretary, about the catastrophic crash the world's financial system would experience. Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Too Big to Fail re-creates all the drama and turmoil, revealing neverdisclosed details and elucidating how decisions made on Wall Street over the past decade sowed the seeds of the debacle.
This true story is not just a look at banks that were "too big to fail"; it is a real-life thriller with a cast of bold-faced names who themselves thought they were too big to fail.

Q: Halide: image shifts to top-left after convolution using a large patch I encounter a strange issue during convolution using Halide. Below is the code
Func Deblur::filter2D(Func ima, Func ker, RDom r) {

    Func blur{"blur1"};
    blur(x, y, c) += ker(r.x, r.y) * ima(x + r.x - 1, y + r.y - 1, c);

    return blur;
}

When the RDom r(kernel) (kernel patch size) is getting larger and larger, the result will appear to move more and more to top-left. I am using repeat-edge boundary condition. What might be the cause of this issue? This is confusing.

A: Solved it. The updated code is:
Func Deblur::filter2D(Func ima, Func ker, RDom r, Expr w, Expr h) {
    Func blur{"blur1"};
    blur(x, y, c) += ker(r.x, r.y) * ima(x + r.x - w / 2, y + r.y - h / 2, c);

    return blur;
}

where w and h is the width and height of the kernel. The original RDom does not have offset and starts from index 0. It is like summing from x to x+w, which is wrong. Now it is from x-w/2 to x+w/2.

Jamie Oliver: Wannabe Popstar
In light of Jamie Oliver's recent Punchy Jerk Rice debacle, Dan Guthrie dives into his painful past as a wannabe popstar...
You know Jamie Oliver, don't you? He's the cheeky chappy celeb chef who's round face has been gracing our TV screens for the past twenty years or so.
Everyone and their mothers has at least one of his books, and they've all got a recipe of his that they swear by. He's the everyman, the chef of the people, the Joe Bloggs who can do fancy things with aubergines, and we love him for it.
Yeah, he may have rubbed a few people up the wrong way over the years. Who can forget the removal of British institution Turkey Twizzlers from the school dinner menu, prompting uproar from parents across the country. And also the fact that one of his children has the middle name 'Rocket' – presumably taken from the salad leaf rather than the spaceship.
Little bit controversial, but most of the time he's perfectly fine.
However, there's one controversial element of his past that he seems to have hidden pretty well. Something that I had to dig deep into the dark corners of the internet to watch.
Dear reader, let me present to you: The Lamb Curry song
Who on earth told Jamie that the best way to try and teach people how to cook was not via the tried and tested mediums of literature or television, but music?
Jamie's natural singing voice seems to be some sort of undecipherable Essex-via-Barbados accent, and as a result, makes his Lamb Curry recipe impossibly hard to follow.
In fact, it's so hard to understand what the man is saying that some language-learning websites use the song to teach their students how to understand regional English accents:
Click here to give it a go yourself!
From the cutaways in the video, it looks like Jamie is performing his ode to Indian cooking to a full amphitheatre of bemused spectators.
However, I can tell you with absolute certainty that none of them expected that the Lamb Curry spectacle was going to close Jamie Oliver's Happy Days Live experience. People wouldn't have come if they knew the big finale was the Lamb Curry song.
What follows is an extremely accurate brief summation of what was going through the audience's heads when the song began to play:
*clapping in the way you do when a small child is running around your house and you're trying to draw them away from that very nice vase that's about to topple*
Woman in the background: Wishing for the sweet release of death or the end of the song, whichever comes sooner.
Teenager or forty year old man, impossible to tell: Drowning under a tidal wave of second hand shame.
Woman in the foreground: That smile you're forced to give when that 'family friend' you haven't seen since you were 4 comes round for lunch
"Do you like it when your heroes lose?" ~ Put That Away and Talk to Me by James Blake
But the biggest question that arises from this all is why is nobody singing along?
Two reasons for this one:
Nobody knows this song because Jamie Oliver isn't a famous popstar
Nobody wants to admit they know this song because: shame
Simple. But….
Why do I now have the hots for Jamie Oliver?
There is no way on earth Jamie intended for this to be sexy. He looks like he's just stumbled out of a Fat Face/Jacamo collab shoot circa 2003. The accent is quite frankly disturbing, and he sings about a food processor at one point.
But at the same time… he's playing with fire. He's chopping those vegetables mighty fine. He's going hard on those drums. Heck, he even screams "gonna give it to ya hot" at the end in the way that a sexually frustrated teenager would do when he's looking at himself in the mirror before a first date.
The sheer audacity of the man to get up on stage and go along with this truly tragic charade (probably because his PR person told him to) has increased his Hotness Rating™ by at least four solid notches.
Look, I'm not saying I would definitely let Jamie Oliver cook me some of his lamb curry, but maybe he can come round mine and whip up some saag aloo for me one night.
