Newburgh, NY - Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) today congratulated six students upon their graduation from the Newburgh Youth Build, joining them to celebrate completion of a year long renovation project, which transformed a blighted building at 6 Federal Street in Newburgh into a three-unit transitional housing facility for low-income Habitat for Humanity families. Hinchey secured $210,000 in the fiscal year 2009 budget for the program designed to engage young people from 17 to 24 years of age in a GED completion program and impart skills needed to obtain future employment in the trades. Youth Build was a joint venture of Habitat Newburgh, Best Resources, and the Laborers’ Local #17.
"This shows what a community can do when it comes together," said Hinchey. "Today these six young people have acquired the skills and experience they need to find good jobs. Countless families will benefit from the new transitional housing units they helped to renovate, and it was all made possible through the hard work of Habitat for Humanity of Newburgh, Best Resources and the Laborers' Local #17. I was very pleased to secure federal funding for this project because the value to this community could not have been more clear. The community will benefit from this facility for years to come and the skills gained by these hard-working students will serve them well in their careers and lives. I'm so proud of everything we have accomplished."
Hinchey thanked the board and staff of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh for their dedication and strong leadership in implementing the project, directly recognizing President Maureen Crush, Executive Director Cathy Collins, and former Executive Director Deirdre Glenn.
All of the participants completed general classes provided by the Laborer's Local 17. These classes included: ladder safety, traffic control, scaffold building, fire safety, site maintenance, and construction math. In September, three of the participants went on to complete certificates in the following areas: NYS Asbestos Handler, EPA Renovator, General Construction, Scaffold User, Scaffold Builder, new OSHA Signal Person, Traffic Control, Forklift, Mason Tending, OSHA 10, Hilti, Landscape, and Welding.
GED classes were provided by Best Resources. Two participants passed their GEDs, one has taken his GED and is awaiting his results, and two are still working on their GED. One of the participants has enrolled in Orange County Community College starting in the spring.

The Heartlands Project is a community-led vision to transform 7.5ha of Cornwall’s most derelict industrial landscape into a truly inspirational cultural attraction.
LUC won an international competition to masterplan and design an imaginative mixed-use site that would become a catalyst for regeneration in the future. Working with a large multidisciplinary team, for the client Cornwall Council, our team delivered a project that referenced Cornwall’s history and the site’s heritage, making it a space that fosters convergence and reflection.
Our design aimed to capture the spirit of Cornwall, providing dynamic new spaces for the community and visitors to enjoy. The masterplan included places to relax in the Diaspora Gardens, an outdoor events space and surrounding parkland. We also created the largest free adventure playground in Cornwall, with play specialists Timberplay. Revelling in Cornish folklore, the playground includes custom-made wooden climbing structures, tunnels and a beach with diggers and a sand transportation system.
The development also encompassed the Grade II listed Robinson’s Shaft, which was restored to provide a gateway for the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, artists’ studios and residential units.

Completion of Thames Hall was delayed by strikes and material shortages. Western had secured the services of the Governor General of Canada his Excellency Viscount Alexander of Tunis to open the building and receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. The date could not be changed. Extensive camouflage was used to hide construction throughout the building and the ceremony went ahead without incident. At no time did his Excellency seem to notice the unfinished state of the building, inside or out.

Took Abbey as a base and spray painted her a lighter blue and gave her some bigger horns (among other things). She is now Victoria, a demon, since she looks nothing like Abbey (oops).
So that Fergal could show people the circuit at various stages of completion, we had a webcam on a tripod he could use to project his Arduino onto the screen. Cheese is very handy.
You can also see the rather natty visual circuit representations provided by Oomlout for their kits (and one of their ARDX kits too) which we're basing our course on.
Didn't use it that much this time out, but it's handy to have (and looks fancy)
A total of €1 million has been allocated to St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, to ensure completion of repair of the main roof.
The funding was announced yesterday (Thursday December 17) by Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD and Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan TD.
In announcing the funding, Minister O’Brien said: ‘St Patrick's, in terms of its location, antiquity and scale is one of the most important buildings on the island of Ireland. To pause the roof project would entail not only financial risk but a grave physical risk to the future of this historic medieval building. I know that all financial plans were carefully stress tested, but the Cathedral could never have envisaged undertaking the project through a time where it experienced zero income due to the necessary public health restrictions in place to combat Covid-19. The project must be finished, however, or the Cathedral is left extraordinarily vulnerable and therefore I am pleased to announce additional support of €1 million today.’
At the announcement today, Minister Noonan noted: ‘Saint Patrick’s Cathedral is of significant economic importance to surrounding businesses in this area of Dublin. It is one of Ireland’s most important historic structures, still operating for its original purpose 800 years after its construction, and, in normal times welcoming in excess of 600,000 visitors annually. It is also important to note that the major national roof conservation project at the Cathedral provides employment for many skilled Irish craftspeople.’
The Cathedral has been involved in an ongoing conservation repair programme with the most significant part of the programme being the repair of the main roof. The conservation works will continue into next year.
Commenting on the announcement, the Dean and Ordinary of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, the Very Reverend Dr William Morton, said: 'My gratitude to the Department is immeasurable for the kindness behind this major grant of €1 million to the roof project of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.
'This most welcome donation towards this essential work will ensure that the Cathedral is conserved and continues to serve as one of Ireland’s top listed buildings in terms of heritage and culture in the widest sense – ecclesiastically, musically, architecturally, and economically – as a destination ever increasing in popularity in the higher regions of visitors’ ‘must see’ list in Dublin.
'Saint Patrick’s Cathedral offers a rich and compelling cultural experience, and this grant strikes a chord of optimism that 2021 and beyond will augur well in terms of the return of visitors – national and international – whom we look forward to welcoming to our vibrant cathedral community.
'I wish to offer my deepest thanks to Minister Darragh O’Brien, Minister of State in his department, Malcolm Noonan, and former Minister of Heritage, Josepha Madigan, for all their much appreciated help and support.'

HafenCity Hamburg
HafenCity is being developed from west to east and from north to south – 62 projects are completed in 2017 and another 70 are under construction or in the planning stage; deals through sale of land or exclusive options have been closed on around 1.65 million sqm GFA. In the meantime, HafenCity has established its popularity as a place to live and work. Nowadays more than 1,800 residential units are completed approx. 12,000 people work in HafenCity as a whole, employed by more than 730 companies
HafenCity is among the most outstanding urban development projects on the waterfront anywhere. Based on a sophisticated concept, it is expanding the area of Hamburg City by 40 percent. It also has spin-off effects for the existing city centre, the whole of the Hanseatic city state with its 1.8 million inhabitants and its surrounding metropolitan region with a population of some five million. Hamburg’s identity as a maritime port city will be underscored in the process and HafenCity itself serve as a blueprint for the development of the European city of the 21st century. It is already regarded as a model for major international urban development projects, although its development timescale continues through to 2025/30.
In 2009, Am Sandtorkai/Dalmannkai led the way as the first completed neighbourhood in HafenCity’s development. The beginning of 2017 saw the opening of Hamburg’s outstanding and internationally applauded new Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, which sits atop the historic Kaispeicher A warehouse building. The new Hamburg landmark accommodates two concert auditoria, a five-star hotel and around 45 apartments. Close by, completion of the second large neighbourhood, Am Sandtorpark/Grasbrook, popular with many young families, followed at the beginning of 2011. The first primary school with kindergarten opened here in 2009, followed in 2013 by the popular Grasbrook park – primary school children were also involved in its design. Meanwhile, on Strandkai to the south, the first buildings completed there in 2009, Unilever headquarters and the Marco Polo Tower, an ensemble of office building and residential multi-storey, won multiple awards. At the same time, the first open spaces directly adjoining the River Elbe were opened up.
