My Country Roads: Wild and Wonderful : The Eye that says it ALL!
I don't think it is EJ's eyes for the eyebrows are so thin. It might be the eyes of Rylie or Gracie. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
Hi Kuya Mel, It is EJ's eye lol. You can tell because of it's color. Gracie has blue eyes while rylie has dark brown eyes.
No doubt, it's EJ's eyes...ehehehhe! buti kapa sis...ako dpa nakapagsimula...dko pa kasi na print yung ibang pics natin sa FL kasi nawala yung iba when my computer died...weeeeee...let me know when you downloaded some on FB...nanakawin ko...ehehhee!


OEM Manufacturers (OEMs) make parts and supplies for other companies to incorporate into their own products and resell under their brands. OEMs and the companies they market to, known as value-added resellers (VARs), share a symbiotic, cost-effective relationship.
VARs are able to acquire elements needed to assemble their own offerings without the hassle and costs of running a factory. At the same time, OEMs drive profit by producing specialized equipment tailored entirely to their customers' expectations.
In recent years, both the language applied OEMs as well as their general practices have begun to shift. In some industries, the term "OEM" has confusingly become interchangeable with VARs, requiring both manufacturers and resellers to be more precise in their descriptions and marketing.
Another major change that's impacting OEMs is that while these manufacturers have traditionally been B2B companies, consumer demand for authentic parts is slowly driving these businesses to accommodate B2C as well. Finally, a major paradigm shift that's disrupting OEM efficiency and output are evolving analytic capabilities.
How can OEM Manufacturing use Prescriptive Analytics?
Prescriptive analytics monitor and evaluate customer data to make suggestions about future processes and actions. As manufacturers of physical goods, OEMs can gain long-term benefits from integrating embedded analytics into their existing systems. A microchip OEM can apply prescriptive analytics to optimize their machines' configuration, maintenance schedules, QA, capacity utilization and reduce wasted time.
Moreover, prescriptive analytics can introduce agile emergency strategies by anticipating and planning for unexpected events that could disrupt production, such as machine failure or power outages. Finally, prescriptive analytics can be used to create better schedules for replacement, understanding how worn machines are and how likely they are to fail.
OEMs can additionally leverage prescriptive analytics to gain better understanding of their expenses and revenues. Important metrics such as cost-per-good and throughput can be cross-referenced against sales patterns to provide companies with an accurate assessment of overall production ROI as well as concrete steps to cut back on redundant expenses.
Constant monitoring and analysis of sales data enables prescriptive analytics to identify sales trends as they emerge and to recommend which VAR relationships should be prioritized, cultivated, or dissolved based on these trends. These same analytics can also be employed to map out optimal communication strategies with VARs based on past attempts and outcomes.

Q: If I name my child Mathematics, will I become the father of Mathematics? Firstly, I'm a male.
Secondly, this was a troll but I took it seriously:

*

*As a proper noun (the child), yes.

*As a (?) noun, no.
I'm not a grammarian, so my reasoning maybe flawed. I am looking for the correct answer to this question.
Edit:
It was an audio, so ignore the capitalisation and punctuation. If it does depend on such factors then you shall include it in your answer.

A: You will be the father of Mathematics, but not the father of mathematics.
Consider naming the baby Authorized Personnel Only.

A: Whether you're male or female makes no difference.

*

*Proper nouns are capitalized: Meet my daughter, Mathmatics.

*Common nouns are not: My kid is great at mathmatics.
(And of course you're looking for the correct answer!)

Good morning and welcome to the Sarah Hurley 365 blog.
Today I (Clare) have a Project Life layout to show you, this time using the yellow, jade and blue colour combo. The weather hasn't been so kind these last couple of days so the bright colours were a warm welcome. The papers are a mix and match from various A Few Of My Favourite Things kit. Although I have stuck to the just three colours I've chosen different patterns to create more interest.
Each kit comes with a cut 'n' stick embellishment sheet which I absolutely love. Here I have used the circle and sentiment.
As well as creating daily inspiration the DT girls and I are busy working behind the scenes creating projects for the next Lookbook...so watch this space!

Location: Mandy Lake Fishing Pier
Managed by: Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge
36289 State Hwy 65
McGregor MN 55760
Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located in Aitkin County in east central Minnesota, about five miles south of the community of McGregor. It was established in 1935 to preserve valuable habitat for waterfowl. The most important resource on the refuge is Rice Lake itself, a shallow, 3,600 acre wild rice-producing lake. The refuge has been designated as a Globally Important Bird Area by the American Bird Conservancy due to the importance of the lake and its wild rice as a food source to migrating waterfowl, especially ring-necked ducks. The refuge has also been designated as a State Important Bird Area, as part of the larger McGregor Important Bird Area, by the National Audubon Society. The entrance to the refuge is free and visitors are welcome 7 days a week, sunrise to sunset with an automatic gate that opens and closes on a time clock. Visitors are cationed to be aware of the time so they do not become locked inside the Refuge at dusk. http://www.fws.gov/refuge/Rice_Lake/about.html
Located on Mandy Lake, an 87 acre body of water surrounded by beautiful forests is an aluminum accessible fishing pier that is open to public fishing from dawn to dusk. The pier jets out over the water and is surrounded by reeds and offers anglers an opportunity to hook northern pike as well as pan fish. The pier has a smooth transition from the walkway to the transition point on the pier. The area in which this pier is located is a large and relatively flat, it offers various opportunities to enjoy the outdoors including a picnic table, observation platform with an observation scope, and accessible comfort station. Users can park in close proximity to any of the elements as long as it is not upon the roadway blocking others ability to travel through and to the area.
The pier is an older design that has a railing around its entire area. Anglers using lower wheelchairs may find the railing difficult when casting, netting fish and while holding fixed hook and bobber rigs especially if you become easily fatigued while holding arms at chest height or higher. The area immediately surrounding the pier has reeds growing so anglers will have to cast past them or use rigs that are weedless. Part of the pier has a bench users can utilize while fishing.
The area is primitive in that there are no paths of travel, between the picnic tables, fishing pier, and observation area. There is also no designated parking area on site enabling users to park in close proximity to any of the elements they want to use. The roadways and grounds look as though they can handle a great deal of rain and still be usable.
The gate at the entrance of the Refuge is automated and controlled by time clock which is set to open and close at dawn and dusk. So visitors need to be aware of the time so they do not get locked in the refuge at night. While visiting the Mandy Lake we were able to observe nesting trumpeter swans and loons.
The Refuge Headquarters and Visitor Center is located five miles south of McGregor, Mn on hwy 65. Located on the west side of the road traveling south the complex headquarters building has brochures that explain how to navigate the refuge to access the fishing pier and highlights the refuges other opportunities. After arriving at the Refuge follow the main Refuge roadway through the gate to Mandy Lake approximately 2.5 mile traveling west.
McGregor is the largest community in close proximity to the Refuge and is where travelers can find fishing gear, bait,and stores to fulfill most of your needs.
Lodging listings can be accessed via the McGregor's Chamber of Commerce link http://www.mcgregormn.com/memberLodging.htm.

SAT 2015 takes place in Austin, Texas, and is co-locating with the FMCAD and MEMOCODE conferences, the PoS, QBF, DIFTS and ACL2 workshops, and the SAT Race. Austin, the capital of Texas, is a college town and a center of alternative culture away from the major cities on the American coasts, although the city is rapidly gentrifying with its rising popularity. Austin's attitude is commonly emblazoned about town on T-Shirts and bumper stickers that read: "Keep Austin Weird." Austin is considered a major high tech center due in part to UT Austin and the many Fortune 500 companies in the area such as AMD, Apple, eBay, Google, IBM, and Intel, among others. Austin is also marketed as the "Live Music Capital of the World" due to the large number of live music venues.

Hoover Community School and Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula Partnership Recognized For Their After School Tutoring Progress
After school tutor Carolina Avina knows a few hours after school can change a student's life. She remembers feeling crushed when a Hoover Community School kindergartener told her he didn't want to be there when the school year began.
"He would just move around. He didn't want to do anything. I could see he had trouble reading," Avina said. "It made me sad. But he's changed a lot. If you look at him now, you see that he listens. He even comes to me and tells me he wants to read to me."
Like Avina's student, hundreds of Hoover students are seeing their school performance improve thanks to a relatively new after school tutoring partnership between Hoover Community School and the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula.
Educators from both institutions share school space and resources to make sure students improve their grades, and in some cases their behavior, by the end of the school year, educators involved in the project said. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed.
The San Mateo County Office of Education awarded the program the Excellence in Education and Equity Award in May for making a difference in students' lives.
The partnership also was recognized with the J. Russell Kent Award presented by the San Mateo County School Boards Association.
Avina can attest to this success first hand. She has witnessed several students make radical transformations with a few hours of school tutoring a day, she said.
"I asked them, do you know the alphabet? And they'd say, no. I asked them, do you know your colors? They knew some of them," she said. "They grew a lot compared to the first day where they didn't know how to spell or read. I work with them. And they start to bring their own books and they read to me."
She knew she had made her mark when the students understood the words in her attire.
"I wore a T-shirt that said: I love my job and they were reading it to me," she recalled with joy. "I realized they could read the words in my shirt. I was so happy"
"As a public school district, we are prepared to educate every Redwood City child," said Pati Ortiz, the district's director of community schools and partnerships. "While our teachers practice differentiation, we also count on and appreciate the additional support of partners such as the Boys and Girls Club with whom we work so closely."
She says that these partnerships help break barriers to "make sure all students have the resources to achieve their full potential regardless of socio-economic background, helping ensure that an equitable, great education is a reality for all children."
More than 270 students who enrolled in the program stay at school until 6 p.m. and learn to tackle subjects they were having difficulty understanding, said Kathryn Rice, Unit Director with the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula.
It's not all grammar and math equations. The students also get to play sports and exercise, she said. In addition, a case worker tracks their progress of every middle school student enrolled as the academic year progresses, she said.
"We have one on one meetings with the students. We review grades and address any challenges that are preventing students from academically successful," she said. "We help them organize their backpack or help them use their planner. We help them in any area they may need help with."
Enrollment is voluntary, though Rice said there are instances where teachers would recommend a student who needs extra help.
The club's 17 after school instructors and school teachers have developed a cooperative rapport, said Ramiro Carranza, principal of Hoover Community School. They share students' grades, records, and work out a plan for each student's needs.
"It's hard to pin point all the good things that they do for us," he said. "The families see us as a unit. They are coming into Hoover and the Boys & Girls club at the same time."
The partnership extends to every classroom. Avina, who's a new tutor, said she also learned teaching techniques from sharing a classroom with a Hoover school teacher.
"I would ask her for advice on what to do if a kid was struggling. And she was giving me some of her material she didn't use or used already. I learned how to teach them certain materials," she said. "If I didn't have her there, I feel like I would have struggled a lot."
The program sets itself apart from others like it because their goals align with the school district's Local Control Accountability Plan, which calls for both academic and well-being support. It also helps that the students don't have to leave campus, educators said.
Mr. Carranza said he felt especially humbled by the excellence award because it recognizes educators who work together to close the achievement and opportunity gaps in San Mateo County. The school received a $5,000 grant to continue expanding the program.
He said he's already brainstorming on new ideas to keep making a difference on after school students' lives.
"It gives me an opportunity to relate to the kids after school. I see kids that once they go through the mentoring program, they improve," he said. "You can see their growth. They really start maturing. You see it by the way they address you."
He said their growth was even more visible at their eighth grade graduation ceremony.
"I almost cried. To just see them graduate and being successful and see their families out there with them, it makes you realize that what we are doing is worth it," he said. "They are fortunate to have that support for the entire day. Many may not get that at home."
In their graduating speech they thanked their mentors and families, he remembered.
"It really makes you feel good inside," he added. "We still have a lot of growth to do. We'll continue to collaborate. But I'm just so happy to have boys & girls club on campus. It's a great partnership."
The San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools Nancy Magee shared their enthusiasm.
"The Hoover Community School's after school program is an excellent example of collaboration that directly improves conditions of learning for students. By closely aligning the after school programming of the Boys and Girls Club with students' school day experiences, this innovative partnership creates a positive school climate that enables all students to thrive," she said.

Primary Spending Strategies May Have Shifted General Election Outcomes
by Alexander Furnas Nov 15, 2012 9:08 am
In the two weeks since Election Day, Sunlight — along with many others — have examined the impact of outside money. In competitive House seats we found no statistically observable relationship between the outside spending and the likelihood of victory, and found no evidence of spending impacting outcomes for the Senate either. It's important to note that those who contributed to the $1.4 billion spent by outside groups still matters, though. As Executive Director Ellen Miller notes: "Even if their candidates lost, the influence bought by America's new class of mega donors will remain."
Here, we find some indication that outside spending in primary races may have had implications for general election outcomes this cycle. In the competitive races where there was significant primary activity by outside spenders, as compared to a baseline in which parties retaining control of seats they held in the 112th Congress, Democrats over-performed while Republicans significantly underperformed. Furthermore, we found notable involvement by outside Democratic groups in Republican primaries which may have played a roll, while finding little evidence of parallel Republican activity.
We looked at the 90 races in the House that were competitive as of September 6th, according to the Cook Political Report (Likely, Lean or Tossup). Of these competitive seats, in the 19 where there was more than $10,000 in outside Democratic spending, Democrats won 17, a success rate of 89%. This was despite the fact that 12 of those 19 seats were previously held by Republicans. In contrast, of the 25 seats where there was over $10,000 in outside Republican spending, Republicans only won 11, or 44%. 17 of these seats had been held by Republicans prior to the election.
Given the small sample size it is difficult to isolate the effect of significant primary activity, from other factors like incumbency or district partisanship characteristics. Regressions which controlled for the district's Cook Partisanship Voter Index (reproduced in tables at the end), as well as the incumbent party found that Republicans were 40% less likely to win the general when there was outside spending in their primaries, than if there was no outside spending. Democrats, in contrast, were 2.7 times more likely to win a seat when there was outside spending in their primaries. More than capturing the effect of outside spending per se, this may be a window into the impact of the parties primary nominating process on their general election outcomes. Either way, these findings, while descriptive, lie outside the traditional bounds of statistical significance.
Almost a third (29%) of outside money in Republican primaries was spent by Democratically affiliated groups. Using party alignment of outside groups calculated by previous research here at sunlight, we found that traditionally Democratically aligned groups like House Majority PAC, Women Vote!, and the anti-tea-party Credo super PAC, targeted conservative candidates as early as the primary. Democratic candidates won the general election in 10 of the 17 races where Democratically affiliated outside groups dropped cash in the Republican primary. We find no similar spending trend by Republican affiliated groups during Democratic primaries. Republican aligned groups only spend substantially in two democratic primaries; Now or Never PAC spent against Tammy Duckworth in IL-8 and The New Prosperity Foundation spent against Bill Foster in IL-11.
Democratic spending in Republican primaries signals several possible strategies at play:
In some cases it appears that Democratic money helped Democrats run against more conservative candidates, who were more easily painted as out-of-step with their districts. This may have been the case in the Florida 9th, the Democratic super PAC House Majority PAC spent over $93,000 opposing two Republican primary candidates who both lost, John Quinones and William Long. Nominated in their place was Todd Long, a Tea-Party activist who had previously lost 2 house bids, who ultimately lost to Alan Grayson by 25 points. This seat re-districted seat was a Democratic pick-up. This type is the type of strategy we saw play out explicitly in the Missouri Senate race when Democrat Claire McCaskill's campaign ran ads supporting the extreme Todd Akin.
In other cases, early spending by Democratic groups seems to signal that the Democratic machine has targeted an incumbent they believe to be vulnerable, and are simply getting on the ground early to frame the narrative. These cases tend to be relatively moderate Republicans, like Charles Bass in the New Hampshire 2nd or Chip Cravaak in the Minnesota 8th district . Democratically affiliated groups leveled $127,000 of spending at Cravaak during an unopposed primary, before he was defeated in the general election.
It is difficult to know the extent to which Democratic primary spending in outside races shaped the narrative for the coming election and helped label the Republican candidates as out-of-synch with their districts. We may simply be observing a natural correction of the composition the House from the tea-party wave in 2010 back towards a position more in line with the median voter. In such a case, democratic activity would all have the appearance of succeeding, even though it may not have actually shifted the needle. This sample does, however, offer a window into the strategy employed by Democratic groups, during a cycle in which Democratic candidates were largely successful.

Why You Should Concentrate On Search Console Links When Disavowing
30 August 2018/ Jason Ferry / Search Console Links
Most website owners today work with SEO experts when disavowing bad links. For this process, the Google Search Console is used as it often shows the most problematic or the most important links. With that being said, John Mueller from Google explains that while it is up to the users which links to disavow or not, it is a good idea to start focusing on Search Console links instead.
The links found in the Google Search Console are those that Google knows about. Therefore, it is a wise move to prioritise them when disavowing bad links. According to Mueller, the data shown in the Search Console are pretty similar across the old and new versions.
Furthermore, he explained that such links could give users an idea of the general pattern, especially SEO professionals who are knowledgeable in link building. As a result, this will allow them to determine if there are other links that they can add to those provided by the Search Console.
So when it comes to cleaning up bad links that were bought or gained that violates the Google Webmaster guidelines, start by removing those that appear in the Search Console. Then, you can simply disavow other bad links even if they are not showing in the Search Console.
All details of this blog were gathered from http://www.thesempost.com/google-search-console-links-disavow-file/. Visit this page for more information.

Some of the comments in these links below say this new Visual Studio is just rebranded Xamarin or Mono Develop. If that is true, I would not hold my breath on this. Also, the focus of deployment of this code will be on Azure cloud not the desktop. That is a big showstopper for me so I will stick with native IOS development with Swift/Objective C.

Recent books with Harvard connections
Dauphin Island, Alabama, after Katrina, 2005: a recurrent, man-made disaster that ignores nature—and climate change
Photograph by Gilbert M. Gaul
Believers: Faith in Human Nature, by Melvin Konner, Ph.D. '73, M.D. '84 (W.W. Norton, $27.95). The biological anthropologist/neuroscientist at Emory University examines the origins of faith from his upbringing (as an Orthodox Jew, who became a nonbeliever at age 17), his work in Africa among the !Kung, and the perspectives of, yes, modern science. Faith, he finds, is "an evolved, biologically grounded, psychologically intimate, socially strong set of inclinations and ideas that…will never go away."
In a world of bite-sized Twitter posts, William Roger Lewis reminds us of the classic works that reward deep reading.
Indispensable Reading: 1,001 Books from the Arabian Nights to Zola, by William Roger Lewis, A.M. '63 (I.B. Tauris, $35). As Barnes & Noble is taken private and students express outrage at being asked to read, you know, a whole book, the Kerr professor of English history and culture at the University of Texas at Austin delivers a bracing message: reading will persist, it is worth the work, and here are 1,001 curated suggestions for doing so. The helpful categories range from those clearly good for you (history, literature, etc.,) to enticing vices (A.J. Liebling on cooking and food; Calvin Trillin on crime). A healthy dose of optimism, at the most opportune time.
You're It, by Leonard J. Marcus et al., of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (PublicAffairs, $28). The nation isn't acting to stave off hurricane disasters, so it should welcome guidance on "crisis, change, and how to lead when it matters most" (the subtitle) from four affiliates of the public-health/Kennedy School NPLI. Their examples (an active shooter, a data breach, etc.) are distressingly familiar, and the jacket copy about "turbulent times" can be read as a sad commentary on stormy weather—and the times in general.
Fair Play, by Eve Rodsky, J.D. '02 (Putnam, $26) A checklist sort of book offering a "game-changing," project-management solution for the real inequalities of domestic life, particularly as they impinge on women, whether they work outside the home or not. The cause is noble, the solutions may well be effective—but readers have to put up with a lot of Upper Cased Tips and Suggestions ("Conception, Planning, and Execution," etc.), and what must be one of the worst typefaces ever deployed across 300-plus pages.
Sharenthood: Why We Should Think before We Talk about Our Kids Online, by Leah A.Plunkett (MIT, $24.95). A faculty associate of Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society warns about the terabytes of accessible, trackable information about their progeny that parents are spreading about. "If Tom Sawyer were a real boy, alive today," she begins, "he'd be arrested for what he does in the first chapter" of Twain's novel—because of Aunt Polly's social-media posts about his exploits. Time to carve out a little private space for childhood.
Bleeding Out, by Thomas Abt, adjunct lecturer in public policy (Basic Books, $30). "A young man, unconscious, lies before you on a gurney," bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound in the thigh. What to do? "First you stop the bleeding"—absent that, nothing else counts. With that vivid image, the author, a criminal-justice policymaker, says the response to urban violence has to focus first on the violence (homicides, for example), before trying to address it through attacks on drugs, gangs, or guns. "Murder on the streets of our cities is a deadly serious problem," he says, "but it is also a solvable one."
John Rawls: The Path to a Theory of Justice, by Andrius Gališanka (Harvard, $45). The late political philosopher remains foundational to political theory and the modern construction of liberalism (for an example of the continuing scholarship, see "The Rawlsian Revolution," this issue). An assistant professor at Wake Forest underpins the foundations of Rawls's contributions through an intellectual and historical excavation of the origins of his ideas.
Won Over, by William Alsup, J.D. '70, M.P.P. '71 (New South Books, $27.95). A memoir by a (white) federal judge who grew up in Jim Crow Mississippi, clerked at the Supreme Court, and practiced civil-rights law back home before being appointed to the bench in San Francisco in 1999. When he rules against an African-American plaintiff, in 2011, his lawyer seeks Alsup's disqualification because "You can go to Harvard, and you can clerk for Justice Douglas, but old institutionalized race and class attitudes are deeply ingrained early." He stays on the case and says growing up in Mississippi had "opened, not closed, my eyes to the cruelty of racism."
Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil, by Susan Neiman '77, Ph.D. '86 (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $28). In late May, President Lawrence S. Bacow, whose mother survived Auschwitz, listened as Commencement speaker Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany, spoke of "the betrayal of all civilized values that was the Shoah." Neiman, a Jewish daughter of the South, who lives in Berlin, combines philosophical inquiry, personal experience, and conversations with pioneers like Bryan Stevenson, J.D.-M.P.A.'85, LL.D. '15 (see harvardmag.com/stevenson-17) to explore how efforts to atone for the Holocaust might inform Americans' coming to terms with their history of slavery and racialist violence.
The Geography of Risk, by Gilbert M. Gaul, NF '83 (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $28). In time for hurricane season, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former Nieman Fellow explores the human-planned catastrophes in the making, as seas rise, coastal development accelerates, and tax breaks and federal flood insurance subsidize—indeed encourage—building in increasingly dangerous zones. The author's warnings about floodplain and barrier-island development aren't new, but they merit repeating in an age of climate change—before the next $100-billion-plus disaster bill, and the associated loss of life.
Something Deeply Hidden, by Sean Carroll, Ph.D. '93 (Dutton, $29). As if you didn't have enough trouble making this world great again, the author, research professor of (theoretical!) physics at Caltech, calls attention to the weirdness of quantum mechanics, the need to understand it better—and the unsettling implication that there are many worlds to contend with in the universe.
The Future of Immortality, by Anya Bernstein, Loeb associate professor of the social sciences (Princeton, $75/$22.95 paper). And now for something completely different: within the Russian Federation, which suffered an historic decline in longevity after the political and economic collapse of the Soviet Union, a nineteenth-century strain of chasing after immortality has manifested itself anew. An enthnographic, scholarly examination of techno-scientific (cryonic and biogerontological), religious, and other strivings after futurism—in a place that could really use some of these ideas panning out.
Wildhood: The Epic Journey from Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals, by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz '83, A.M. '83, and Kathryn Bowers (Scribner, $27). A UCLA cardiologist (and visiting professor in Harvard's human evolutionary biology department) and her coauthor reinterpret that human awkwardness through the lens of other species, investigating the tasks of staying safe, living with others, "communicat[ing] sexually," and leaving the nest. Homo sapiens parents may find the sweeping overview helpful, or not, but it is surely interesting.

Value Office™
Small Smart Boxes
Hospitality/Retail
Value Office is a term we've coined for the conversion of a typical conventionally constructed (that is steel or concrete framed perimeter column non-load-bearing wall construction) market office building to tilt wall technology. The original task, one of commodifying the building method through a building type, was an uphill struggle at first. We had to prove to commercial developers that utilization of a low-cost construction technology to build an investment grade office building could compete with the definition of Class A in the market place. The aesthetic flexibility of tilt wall combined with its ability to improve upon the characteristics of typical offices ultimately won a niche for Value Office in numerous national market regions. It improved upon the conventional product as it has no perimeter columns making it more efficient to plan, due to wall strength accepts any exterior cladding material and offers column free all glazed corners to name a few of its ultimately appealing attributes to developers. Most significantly and importantly when combined with the above advantages, it averages $7-$10 per square foot less expensive for the exact project built conventionally in most suburban markets. This is no subtlety; it represents a grass roots insurgency on the part of low-cost technology fueled by historic economic forces. It occurs in a space that many architects have occupied – developer work, investment grade commodity architecture – but as contractors and developers have been more open minded regarding adaptations like tilt wall into "high-end product" it inadvertently threatens to leave that area of architectural practice behind if ignored. Our effort has been to engage the economic metrics head on in order to control the possibility of an aesthetic potential in this building type that makes up so much of the everyday suburban landscape.
TECHNOLOGY – DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ANTI-TERRORISM FORCE PROTECTION – BLAST RESISTANCE & PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE RESISTANCE
In 2013, Powers Brown Architecture finished construction on one of the first buildings to meet the most current Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria for Anti-Terrorism Force Protection near Ft. Meade in Maryland. This is the technical criteria developed post 9/11 for Blast Resistance and Progressive Collapse Resistance. Typically meeting these stringent guidelines is prohibitively expensive, but using tilt wall construction, our team has demonstrated that it can be done for less than conventional building methods in most regions. This has proven to be the beginnings of a "market changer" in the greater Washington DC area. That tilt wall construction has a capacity to instigate and sustain investigation of transformative modalities marks its difference in potential from competing value-oriented building technologies. Balancing high design and technical innovation with form-driven construction is unique to tilt wall. The depth of this potential is evident in the recent exploration of tilt wall's blast and progressive collapse adaptability comporting with Anti- Terrorism Force Protection criteria developed post 9/11. The following material illustrates a two-story, approximately 123,000 square foot Class A office building designed to meet the Department of Defense Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection requirements per UFC 4-010-01 Jan 2007 for blast resistance utilizing conventional construction standoff distances. The building has been hardened for blast to a medium level of protection response to the UFC 4-010-02 (Jan 2007) threats at the required standoffs.
The innovation here is the mainstreaming of what has traditionally been a prohibitively expensive way of making buildings safer. The cost modeling included here and done in market-based pricing, illustrates the potential for tilt wall to absorb the cost premium to meet theses government standards at nearly ten dollars per square foot less than conventional methods. Translated to the suburban Washington, DC "third-party government provider" market means that developers can now entertain providing these levels of protection on a speculative basis – a real market changer.
TILT WALL EXPERIENCE
Powers Brown Architecture offers unprecedented expertise in the design and construction of tilt wall buildings. Powers Brown Architecture is well-known for a variety of building and project types, but its work in tilt wall design has garnered international recognition including the publication of a monograph featuring its innovative exploration of the construction technique and recognition by the Tilt-Up Concrete Association as the recipient of the 2008 Irving Gill Distinguished Architect Award. Since 1999, the firm has averaged more than 1.5 million sf of tilt wall design per year; which includes nearly 7,000,000 sf in value office alone since 2005. These facilities include research labs, offices, manufacturing / industrial and retail buildings. This tilt wall expertise has proven to be beneficial to both private and public sector clients by typically reducing the overall construction schedule by six to eight weeks, ultimately saving clients the contractor's associated fee and general condition costs relative to a longer schedule. Powers Brown has a proven track record of saving an average of $7-$10 per square foot of base building cost on projects utilizing tilt wall as an alternative to conventional construction.
TILTWALLISM
A Treatise on the Architectural Potential of Tilt Wall Construction
Jeffrey Blaine Brown
TILTWALLISM is designed to be an introductory resource to architects and an inspiration to contractors, developers and structural consultants who have encountered the technology of Tilt Wall construction. The vast amount of trade and technical information available on the subject is interpreted in a formal treatment for the first time on a subject at the forefront of the architectural role in an era of lowered construction costs.
Brown provides a full synthetic treatment of Tilt Wall construction by laying out the design opportunities in engaging in the architectural exploration of a low technology / low cost form of construction. He explains its history, methodology, and relationship to current architectural approaches to meaning. Brown writes in a balanced style targeted at both architects and academics that will also be accessible to non-architects and allied professionals. The title is richly illustrated in an effort to be useful to many ancillary professions such as contractors, developers, and real estate brokers who are driving this increasingly prevalent approach to "investment" architecture.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on legal privilege. Part 1 on legal professional privilege is also available here.
WPP protects communications between parties regarding settlement negotiations. Information from without prejudice communications cannot be used in associated legal proceedings. It may only be adduced in civil matters, not criminal ones.
WPP encourages the parties to make genuine attempts to resolve their dispute. It removes the fear that an offer made will compromise a party's legal position in court. The rationale is that this helps reduce time in court and legal costs, so WPP plays an important public interest function.
Documents prepared in connection with negotiating of the dispute, whether they are delivered or not.
Once a document has been determined to be privileged, it cannot be produced without multilateral consent by both parties.
Communications made in furtherance of a crime or civil offence.
SIP is the Australian parallel to the Fifth Amendment right enshrined in the United States Constitution. In the ACT, it is protected by section 22(i) of the Human Rights Act 2004 (ACT), as well as section 128(1) of the Uniform Evidence Acts.
A natural person claiming this privilege may refuse to answer a question or produce any document that may incriminate them.
The privilege exists to encourage witnesses to come forward and tell the truth when examined. It also preserves personal liberty, particularly for vulnerable witnesses.
Against exposure to forfeiting a right (less common).
Of course, SIP can be abrogated to protect the public interest.
The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), which allows the witness to claim SIP for themselves in an examination, but not for their company.
WPP and SIP are important doctrines as part of the greater category of legal privileges, providing important social functions.
Nevertheless, there are a substantial number of exceptions to both. The exceptions to SIP can be especially difficult to navigate given the number of statutes that alter its usage.

April 13th, 2022, Farnham, Surrey. Farnham Repair Café (FRC) launches its latest version – V2 – of its Repair Café Carbon Calculator today, and confirms that the free online tool – https://frc.cfsd.org.uk/index.php/rc-carbon-calculator-standard – is available with immediate effect to repair cafés and similar organisations anywhere in the world.
The upgrade complements "Right to Repair" laws and emerging trends around "Right to Repair" in March 2021, the first-ever right to repair laws came into effect in the EU, with the UK following four months later. Manufacturers in Europe are now legally obligated to ensure that electric and electronic goods, such as televisions and fridges, can be repaired for up to 10 years after purchase. On March 30th 2022 the EC launched its Sustainable Product Initiative (SPI), to ensure that products in the EU market are designed to be repairable, recyclable, durable, energy-efficient and free of hazardous chemicals.
"Repair Café Carbon Calculator V2 displays information on users' carbon savings in a more easily and clearly understood way," says its developer Steve Privett, a former FRC trustee and repairer, and currently a consultant and researcher.
FRC's founder and Chair of the Board of Trustees, Professor Martin Charter, comments, "The new version will help repair cafés and other organisations to further realise and promote the benefits of repairing a product – that extends its life – compared to replacement with something new.
"Repairing is a vital way of preventing waste, reducing CO2 emissions and combatting the 'buy now, throwaway later' culture."
Privett says, "There are no changes to how the tool operates or the calculation methods used. But, inside, the software has been re-engineered to display results through graphic images – and give a more descriptive equivalence to carbon savings via an example range of 'everyday' activities such as driving, air travel and hot showering. For example, 35 kg of repaired electrical items at a repair café session would save 306 kg of carbon emissions, the equivalent emissions of taking 191 hot showers."
Emphasising that the new version makes it easier for organisers and users of repair cafés to understand and communicate environmental benefits to the public, he adds, "For example, a repair café keeping a record of the calculator's results could say, "Since opening, we have saved the equivalent carbon emissions of someone flying 235,000 miles or driving a new petrol car more than 160,000 miles."
Also new is a graph showing a percentage breakdown of the carbon emission savings contribution from each product repair category. It helps users quickly see how different repair categories contribute to the overall carbon emission savings, and how or where savings might be improved.
Additionally, the calculator features a graph showing the carbon emission savings intensity of repairs. This helps users to see if their repair café results or sessions are above or below the UK average calculated from original research data. Says Privett, "When more products – that created high carbon emissions when they were originally manufactured – are repaired, the carbon intensity of repairs moves to a higher level, and vice versa for products that created low carbon emissions during manufacture and transportation."
Quick carbon calculator option
Users not requiring a comprehensive view of results via the standard calculator model can use the "quick" option. It allows users to rapidly estimate their carbon emission savings of a repair by entering either the total weight of successful repairs or the total number of items repaired successfully.
The option takes into account other factors that impact carbon emission emissions savings, including how many products are taken by the average visitor for repair and how many miles they will have driven to and from the repair café or other repair organisation.
The original version of the Repair Café Carbon Calculator was launched in 2020 and was the result of three months-long collaboration between Steve Privett and Professor Charter. Funding came from University for the Creative Arts UCA, following an award from the Strategic Priorities Fund from Research England. The calculator was ground-breaking internationally and replaced guesswork and paper-based methods. The calculator is still believed to be the only repair café carbon calculator of its kind.
User comments about the original version
"It's very user friendly; very easy to enter items by weight and category; and the results summary is very useful" – Emilia Barnett, Alton Repair Café.
"We have used the calculator to work out the amount of carbon equivalent saved for items repaired. Consequently, it has been, and will be used, for a variety of items – electrical, other household, material, tools, bicycles etc. The strengths of the calculator are that it is easy to understand and gives a consistent approach to working out carbon saved" – Laura Harley, Overton Repair Café.
FRC is open on every second Saturday of the month between 10am – 12.30pm and offers advice and repairs on all kinds of products, from vacuum cleaners, headphones and lights, to hats, jackets, pushchairs and bicycles. Address: FRC, The Spire Church, South Street, Farnham, GU9 7QU.
Founded in 2015, FRC became a UK-registered repair café charity in 2017, working in collaboration between The Centre for Sustainable Design ® at University of the Creative Arts, Farnham Town Council and The Spire Church in Farnham UK. FRC is part of the global Repair Café movement of 2283 (as of March 2022), led by The Repair Café International Foundation – founded in the Netherlands in 2011.

Posted by Internet Business Press in Centre For Sustainable Design, Farnham Repair Cafe, Uncategorized on April 23, 2020
April 22nd 2020, Farnham, Surrey, UK. Farnham Repair Café [FRC] today launches its in-house designed Repair Café Carbon Calculator, a free and easy-to-use online platform aimed at repair cafés – and other repair organisations – in the UK and internationally.
Available in two versions, Quick and Standard, the calculator is believed to be the first online tool that reports CO2 emission savings resulting from product repairs.
Quick – https://frc.cfsd.org.uk/index.php/rc-carbon-calculator-quick – calculates emission savings by using weight or number of repairs across all product types. Standard – https://frc.cfsd.org.uk/index.php/rc-carbon-calculator-standard – can be used by repair cafés that keep individual product repair records and group their successful repairs, by weight or number into categories e.g. bicycles, computing, electricals, mechanicals, clothing, jewellery etc – thereby giving a more precise estimate of carbon emissions and landfill savings.
"Many repair cafés have traditionally used simple paper-based 'measure by weight' methods", says Professor Martin Charter, Director, The Centre for Sustainable Design [CfSD], University for the Creative Arts (UCA), and Chair of the Board of Trustees of FRC. "Our carbon calculator enables users to quickly estimate emission savings by weight or even just the number of successful repairs alone, or in greater detail by product repair category."
Professor Charter
The Standard version can also show where repair cafés are having the most success in carbon emission savings, by product type – not just by weight. "Repair is particularly beneficial in electrical products such as smartphones, tablets and computers, because they contain a very high level of embedded carbon emissions due to the global supply chains," adds Professor Charter.
The Repair Café Carbon Calculator is the result of three months-long collaboration between FRC trustee Steve Privett and Professor Charter. Funding came from UCA, following an award from the Strategic Priorities Fund from Research England.
At the heart of the calculator is a methodology based on data and information from FRC – and other repair cafés in the UK – that was used by Privett in his dissertation on "Potential impact of UK Repair Cafés on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions." The dissertation was completed for his master's degree in sustainable development.
Privett comments, "The research indicates that the majority of people whose products are repaired at the UK's repair cafés continue to use them instead of buying newly manufactured replacements. This reduction in product consumption helps to preserve finite resources and lower carbon emissions and is particularly effective when products with a short usable life cycle, of which there are many, are given a new lease of life through repair.
"We hope the calculator will help to further inform and motivate communities towards a culture of repair rather than replace."
The calculator takes a number of variables into consideration in its calculations. Included are average transport emissions to and from the repair café, spare parts use, rebound consumption and savings made by reducing the total sum of greenhouses gases that would have been released by manufacturing new products if the products had not been repaired by a repair café.
Research on impacts
Says Professor Charter, "Very little hard data about repair cafés' potential ability to mitigate CO2 emissions has been published to date. Our calculator is the first tool to give repair cafés the opportunity to change that, by using more accurate evidence-based estimations of CO2 savings from product repairs.
"Making our calculator free-to-use by repair cafes and other repair organisations worldwide will, we anticipate, help policy makers, manufacturers, repairers and customers make the connection between the circular economy and climate change.
"Historically, broader environmental benefits of repair cafés have been highlighted in the media and social media. The calculator enables more specific evidencebased estimates of CO2 emissions, showing the real impact that repair cafes can make.
"Social and community are also an important aspect of repair cafés. We are seeing increased community interest and, when covid-19 lockdown and social distancing are lifted, repair cafés can expect to see a further strengthening of their relationship with their local communities."
More about the calculator: https://frc.cfsd.org.uk/index.php/about/
Founded in 2015, FRC, a UK-registered repair café charity, is a collaborative project between UCA, CfSD at UCA, Farnham Town Council and The Spire Church in Farnham UK. It is part of the global Repair Café movement of nearly 2100, led by The Repair Café International Foundation – founded in the Netherlands in 2011; the number of repair cafés in the UK has doubled over the last year to more than 125.
Says Professor Charter, "Our repairers are highly skilled and do a brilliant job. To date we have organised 58 sessions and had 3,000 visitors to Farnham Repair Café since launch. There have been almost 1300 repairs at a 65 percent repair rate with over 3.7 tonnes being diverted from landfill, and we have reduced CO2 by 34.5 tonnes, and seen over £91,000 saved by repairing instead of buying new."

March 12. 2020. Farnham, Surrey, UK. The UK's first Repair Café Conference – held today and organised by The Centre for Sustainable Design [CfSD] at University for the Creative Arts (UCA) – sees a preview of a first, an online "Repair Café Carbon Calculator", and a demonstration of 3D printing for spare parts as used by Farnham Repair Café (FRC).
This is the first time the calculator https://repaircafes.carboncalculator.sp-consulting.online/index.php/es-calc/ has been previewed in public ahead of its official launch on 31st March. Also on 31st March, a new FRC website will be launched at https://frc.cfsd.org.uk/
The conference – https://cfsd.org.uk/events/repair-cafes-conference – at UCA, Falkner Road, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7DS – discusses new research on global repair café and visitors' behaviour, new innovations, and sharing best practice on issues related to running repair cafes and the repair of electronics, textiles, mechanicals, furniture and bicycles.
Delegates include representatives from repair cafés, local authorities, green organisations and academia.
The calculator rapidly calculates, via any given weight or number of repaired products, how much CO2 is potentially saved. It takes into account variables including average transport emissions to and from the repair café, spare parts use, rebound consumption and the savings made by reducing the total sum of greenhouse gases that would have been released by manufacturing new products, had these products not been successfully repaired by repair cafés in the UK.
It will be available from 31st March for use by repair cafés and any other organisations and individuals anywhere in the world, free of charge.
The calculator is the result of collaboration between FRC trustee and volunteer Steve Privett and UCA's Professor Martin Charter, Director, CfSD and Chair of the Board of Trustees of FRC. The project has been funded by UCA as a result of an award from Research England.
Professor Martin Charter
"There wasn't a specific 'eureka, who was keen to make it accessible by anyone with an internet connection. The idea evolved from there into the calculator we see today. At its core is a sound methodology based on information and data from Farnham Repair Café and other repair cafés in the UK."
The information and data were used by Privett in his dissertation on "Potential impact of UK Repair Cafés on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions" for his masters degree in sustainable development at the University of Surrey, where he gained a distinction in his masters degree thesis.
Says Professor Charter, "Research on the social impacts of repair café has been highlighted in the media and on social media, but very little about their potential ability to mitigate CO2 emissions has been published. The calculator should help change that and give more accurate estimations of CO2 saved.
"It's also an excellent example of how the circular economy – repairing products, example – can reduce the impact of climate change by helping to reduce CO2 emissions."
Privett comments, "Prior to the preview on 12th March, the methodology that the calculator is based on has seen international interest from repair cafés, academics, research students and repair organisations."
About the 3D printing demonstration at the conference, Privett says, "3D printing has the ability to revolutionise how repair cafés can further lower CO2 emissions and landfill by being able to repair a wider range of goods, thereby reducing the need to 'buy new'. Products repaired at FRC using 3D printing have included an antique style lamp, mechanical toys, torches and custom appliance fittings, and promotional keyrings have been produced for FRC."
A user of FRC, local resident Desi Lyon, says, "Waste of resources is a huge global problem and we no longer bring our children up in a culture of looking after things and repairing them. Not only does Farnham Repair Café offer knowledgeable and helpful engineers and other experts to fix broken items, but its very existence makes me hopeful that communities and individuals can have the power to change national policies and effect change."
FRC is open on every second Saturday of the month between 10am – 1pm, when it provides advice on, and repair of, many kinds of products, from vacuum cleaners, headphones and lights, to hats, jackets, pushchairs and bicycles. Address: FRC, The Spire Church, South Street, Farnham, GU9 7QU.

Intellectual Property rights, questions answered, at free workshop
Posted by Internet Business Press in Centre For Sustainable Design on November 25, 2011
Intellectual Property for Eco-innovators, 14th December 2011
Red Lion Hotel, Basingstoke, Hampshire – RG21 7LX
Organised by: The Centre for Sustainable Design
Strategic partners: Intellectual Property Office
Supported by Sustainable Business Partnership
The majority of eco-innovative firms own or create intellectual property (IP) in the form of trademarks, copyright, patents, database rights or registered/unregistered designs. In developing innovative environmental products and technologies, many smaller businesses are not fully aware of the opportunities to protect and exploit their IP. Knowledge of the range of protection and licensing options should complement each eco-innovator?s approach to competing effectively.
Customers and collaborators often seek clarity over the position on IP and around 10-20% of small- and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) may be involved in litigation related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Many SMEs therefore have questions, such as:
*Why would you apply for different types of IP protection? Is UK registration sufficient?
*Where do you check to clear use of a new business or product name?
*What is the cost/benefit of registering a trade mark?
*What is the difference in protection between a Patent, UK Design Right (automatic and free) and UK Registered Design?
*Would a contractor own the copyright to commissioned work, if copyright is not assigned to the commissioning company?
*How should confidentiality be agreed?
*what forms of disclosure would invalidate a later patent application?
*How can the value of IP be assessed?
*Where do you apply for each type of IP protection, how do you apply and what does it cost? Where can I get further advice?
This Intellectual Property Workshop will tackle such questions through a series of practical scenarios, discussion and guidance from the Intellectual Property Office. This is based on a successful Intellectual Property Office workshop that has been delivered to SMEs, Business Link and UKTI advisors and a variety of professional bodies for more than 10 years.
The workshop is aimed at eco-innovative companies with less than 250 employees based in the South East of England that produce low carbon, resource and water efficient products or technologies. Attendees from all roles with a basic to intermediate level of IP expertise are welcome.
Benefits of attending
*Gaining a good understanding of trade marks, patents, copyright, designs and confidentiality ? your questions answered
*Networking
*Access to a full suite of support materials from the Intellectual Property Office

SUSCIN announces free Meet The Buyer event – Bracknell, July 13th 2011 – to enable SMEs in the South East to meet regional and national buyers of sustainable products and services
Posted by Internet Business Press in Centre For Sustainable Design, SUSCIN on May 31, 2011
June 13th 2011. SUSCIN – Sustainable Supply Chains through Innovation – has announced a free Sustainable Supply Chains Meet the Buyer event in Bracknell, Berkshire, on July 13th, to enable SME suppliers of sustainable products and services in the South East to meet and sell to regional and national buyers.
Through pre-arranged private appointments on the day, the event will showcase the wide range of sustainable, eco-innovative products and services on offer in the region. Buyers will typically be looking to purchase a variety of items, from construction and building maintenance products and services to packaging, cleaning supplies and environmental consultancy.
A similar event in Crawley last year attracted some 20 buyers and 80 of the best sustainable suppliers from across the South East. Buyers included Balfour Beatty Workplace, the Ministry of Defence, Oxfam, Partners in Purchasing Ltd, Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Trust and West Sussex Council.
SUSCIN is currently seeking suppliers who wish to meet buyers. Suppliers will be able to conduct up to eight pre-arranged meetings with buyers of their choice, save time and money on research, marketing and cold calling, and benefit from networking with other suppliers on the day.
To reserve a free place and receive more information, suppliers should contact Kim Newton at Action Sustainability on kim@actionsustainability.com or 02476 236290.
There are three core partners in SUSCIN: The Centre for Sustainable Design [CfSD – University of the Creative Arts], Action Sustainability and Remade South East. Action Sustainability is an expert in sustainable procurement and is organising this, the third event in the SUSCIN "Meet the Buyer" series.
Martin Charter, SUSCIN Project Director, says "Meet The Buyer is ideal for suppliers who have lessened the environmental impact of their products or services or have produced new, low impact products or services, and are committed to sustainability in their operations. The event will deliver them face to face meetings with buyers and therefore save considerable research and marketing costs."
