Evolution Boats
The Evolution 33 standard (s) was introduced in 2004, this boat is under 10m and has all the stability and good handling as its big brother the Evolution 38.
There are two versions of the Evolution 33 a long wheelhouse or a short wheelhouse, the latter being more popular with the commercial skipper because it has more deck space. The Evolution 33 is often used by people either starting in the charter business or down sizing from larger boats. With the short wheelhouse this is the perfect vessel for commercial fishing as there is plenty of deck space and the boat handles well in all seas.

"Every block in New York City that had three or more foreclosure filings on 1-4 family houses in 2008 has been marked with a fluorescent triangle."
An intervention by Damon Rich using the Panorama of the City of New York.
The Panorama of the City of New York:
Scale model commissioned by Robert Moses for the 1964 World's Fair.
Designed and executed by Raymond Lester Associates.
Sporadically updated since.
"9,335 square foot architectural model includes every single building constructed before 1992 in all five boroughs; that is a total of 895,000 individual structures."
"The Panorama was built by a team of 100 people working for the great architectural model makers Raymond Lester Associates in the three years before the opening of the 1964 World’s Fair. In planning the model, Lester Associates referred to aerial photographs, insurance maps, and a range of other City material; the Panorama had to be accurate, indeed the initial contract demanded less than one percent margin of error between reality and the model. The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the ‘64 Fair with a daily average of 1,400 people taking advantage of its 9 minute simulated helicopter ride around the City."
"Until 1970 all of the changes in the City were accurately recreated in the model by Lester’s team. After 1970 very few changes were made until 1992, when again Lester Associates changed over 60,000 structures to bring it up-to-date. In the Spring of 2009 the Museum launched its Adopt-A-Building program with the installation of the Panorama’s newest addition, Citi Field, to continue for the ongoing care and maintenance of this beloved treasure."

Red Lines Housing Crisis Learning Center:
2009 exhibition by Damon Rich of the Center for Urban Pedagogy, hosted by the Queens Museum of Art
Larissa Harris, Commissioning curator; Project Coordinator for Queens Museum Installation: Rana Amirtahmasebi
Museum Director: Tom Finkelpearl
"The Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project collected the foreclosure information. . . . The Regional Plan Association, an independent planning group, then crunched the numbers using the Geographic Information System — a mapping program — to create maps of every inch of the city indicating where there had been foreclosures of single- to four-family homes in 2008."
"Red Lines Housing Crisis Learning Center is funded by grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Artists & Communities, a program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, which is made possible by major funding from Johnson & Johnson, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and the JPMorgan Chase Foundation. A publication funded by The Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts will be available during the exhibition. Additional support provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Council on the Arts."

Queens Museum of Art:
Architect: Aymar Embury II
Opened: 1939
Renovated 1964 by Daniel Chait.
Renovated in 1994 by Rafael Viñoly.
Expansion scheduled in 2013, under the helm of Grimshaw Architects with Ammann & Whitney as engineers.
"Built to house the New York City Pavilion at the 1939 World’s Fair, where it housed displays about municipal agencies. . . . It is now the only surviving building from the 1939/40 Fair. After the World’s Fair, the building became a recreation center for the newly created Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The north side of the building, now the Queens Museum, housed a roller rink and the south side offered an ice rink. . . . From 1946 to 1950 . . . it housed the General Assembly of the newly formed United Nations. . . . In 1972 the north side of the New York City Building was handed to the Queens Museum of Art (or as it was then known, the Queens Center for Art and Culture)."
The other half of the building was an ice-skating rink from 1939–2009.

The name Chautauqua is usually associated with the town of Chautauqua in Chautauqua County, New York. Chautauqua was named for Chautauqua Lake and the lake received its name “Chautauqua” from the Native American Seneca people who lived in the area. Also located in Chautauqua is the Chautauqua Institution, a popular nonprofit education and summer resort that can trace its beginnings back to 1874.
The Chautauqua Institution today says, “We are a community of artists, educators, thinkers, faith leaders and friends dedicated to exploring the best in humanity.” They annually host a series of programs featuring lectures from a wide variety of fields along with music and theater just as they did in the late 1800s.
In 1904 Keith Vawter and Roy Ellison appropriated the concept of the Chautauqua Institution to create a for-profit business much to the chagrin of the Institution. They basically saw an opportunity to make money by taking the Chautauqua Institution idea on the road as a form of entertainment going from town to town as “Circuit Chautauquas” or “Tent Chautauquas.”
These traveling Chautauqua shows were not affiliated with the Chautauqua Institution. Instead, they traveled about the country much like a circus or fair selling locals’ tickets to see lecturers, musicians, and theater productions under a tent while marketing it all as educational and enlightening. Circuit Chautauqua’s reached their peak in the mid-1920s appearing to over 45 million people in over 10,000 communities before finally playing out by 1940.
On Wednesday, July 1, 1914, a Chautauqua opened in Statesville for a 6-day run featuring 31 events all for a $2-dollar ticket. A large 3 ft. x 20 ft. banner advertising the event was hung across a downtown street and 2,500 “Photo Story Booklets” containing the programs schedule passed out. The Chautauqua tent with 1,200 seats was set up on a lot on the corner of Broad and Tradd Streets.
The Chautauqua continued to visit Statesville and Mooresville over the next few years. On June 10th, 1918 the “Statesville Chautauqua” opened for a six-day run featuring “Life in the Trenches Vivid and Timely Lecture by Captain Leslie Vickers of the Royal Scotch Fusileers.” The Royal Scots Fusiliers was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1678 until 1959.
A rare 1918 copy of “Life in the Trenches” is part of the Local History Collection at the Iredell County Public Library in Statesville. Images of newspaper articles from the Chautauqua visit to Statesville in 1914 were taken from microfilm of the Statesville Sentinel (1909-1922) housed at the library and created by the State Archives of North Carolina, Division of Archives and Records, part of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Mickey Leland research associate Alexis Hammond working in the GAIA lab with mentor Madison Wenzlick in Albany, Oregon. Alexis, a junior in Chemical Engineering from Auburn University, is working on Wastewater Analysis for National Effluent for Treatment Database.
Water availability and use is a growing area of concern for many energy applications, including power generation, and resource extraction. Further, managing these water resources includes designing and implementing treatment plans for wastewater streams. Due to the variability in composition, many research groups study specific waste streams, and generally, comprehensive data on these streams is difficult to find. NETL’s Research and Innovation Center is developing a holistic dataset of energy-related water streams, including oil & gas produced water, coalbed methane produced water, power plant effluent streams (FGD, etc.), acid mine drainage, landfill leachate, and brackish water streams. This project will include data collection and data analysis using OLI studios, a water modeling software. Alexis will learn and practice aqueous chemistry analyses by modeling different water streams and examining the aqueous properties. This will be the basis for understanding treatment options and management techniques. Candidates’ background and interest will determine exploration of either Flowsheet treatment or GIS mapping extension of OLI Stream analysis.

About Westwood Plateau
WESTWOOD PLATEAU…Experiences Above & Beyond
When award-winning golf architect Michael Hurdzan, Golf World Magazine’s 1997 Architect of the Year, sets out to design a course he says that he wants to “create a ‘Wow’ effect for golfers.” At his Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club, named ‘Best New Course in Canada in 1996’ by SCOREGolf Magazine, Hurdzan created his patented “Wow” effect on virtually every hole.
As a result, there is no ‘signature’ hole at the spectacular layout on Eagle Mountain because each hole stands alone. Yet each hole bears Hurdzan’s distinctive signature. “This is a magical piece of ground,” said Hurdzan. “When we built the course, the whole intent was to keep the great views, keep the special ethereal feeling and still create as wide a course as we could so that the average golfer could enjoy it.” Hurdzan not only achieved his lofty goal, he exceeded it. On this magical Coquitlam plateau 30 minutes east and 1,300 feet above Vancouver, the golf values are as pure as the snow on the distant mountain peaks. Little wonder that in 1999, Golf Digest called Westwood Plateau: “The best game in town.”
Whether playing from the back tees at 6,770 yards or from any of the other three tee boxes that gradually shorten the course to 5,514 yards, players are confronted by a singular challenge on each hole – deciding whether the view is more striking from the tee or from the green. The ProShot GPS system on each power cart takes the pressure off club selection by displaying precise yardages on easy-to-read screens. It also provides yardages to the hazards; individual tips on playing the hole; updates on your tournament; and ProShot can quickly relay messages in case of emergencies. In addition to the on-cart GPS, you’ll also receive range balls, day locker, bottled water, tee gift, and continental breakfast included in your fees. Other available extras range from transportation via helicopter from downtown Vancouver to fully-stocked personal mini bars on your cart. These above and beyond services helped earn Westwood Plateau ‘5th Best Customer Service in North America’, as ranked by 6500 Golf Digest readers, and Golf Digest’s 4 1/2 - star rating in their Best Places to Play edition.
A fully public facility, Westwood Plateau offers 27 holes of outstanding golf, two distinct restaurants, a nationally recognized teaching academy and a 35,000 square foot clubhouse perfect for corporate entertaining and weddings.
Westwood Plateau’s mission statement is simple – To deliver Above & Beyond experiences through superior service and product quality! We look forward to serving you!
