Our job today was to return to Danemoor to complete the assembly of the final rails. This was a completion job looking for an odd day to house it. As this track is laid on a curve and the rails are all 60ft long, you gain lead on the inside rail. To sort this, every few panels, the front set of holes has to be cut off to re-square the rail ends and a new back hole drilled. We then pushed up the rails to position them correctly. There was also a rail then to instal to fill a gap which was by now large enough for it.
Meanwhile, a team worked through fishplating the rails together and the rear guard were clipping it up.
Pete and Arnold are seen here clipping up the rails.

The first phase of renovating our 1865 farmhouse nears completion as we have a functioning kitchen and bathroom; more photos to come of the finished work as we get settled in. But for now Mary's roses get to serve as a centerpiece; we discover a wardrobe we plan to use was built for her great-grandfather; a dragon fly finds its way into the screened porch; and, most of all, it's once again a place for family to gather, which was the point of this project from the start.

November 12, 2019 - Syracuse, NY - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the completion of the state supported 50-mile unmanned traffic management drone corridor, which runs from Central New York to the Mohawk Valley. The first-in-the-nation corridor is the most advanced drone testing corridor in the nation. With the needed infrastructure now in place, companies will be able to test both unmanned aerial systems platforms and UTM technologies in real world settings, generating data that will inform the industry and regulators and taking us one step closer towards the routine commercial use of drones. The completion of the corridor advances the regions' collective strategy to accelerate and support emerging uses of UAS in key industries, including agriculture and forest management, transportation and logistics, media and film development, utilities and infrastructure and public safety. At the Syracuse International Airport, the Governor today also announced that the home of the innovative GENIUS NY UAS competition, the Tech Garden in Downtown Syracuse, will undergo a major expansion project to include the addition of two floors to the existing facility. The increased visibility and street-scape will serve as the anchor of the Syracuse's City Center Innovation Hub, a core component of the Syracuse Surge strategy, and will serve as the gateway to the "Innovation Alley" on Warren Street in Syracuse. Empire State Development is assisting the expansion project with up to $12.5 million made available through the regionally designed CNY Rising Upstate Revitalization Initiative plan.

Excellent Surf and Levels Displayed for Completion of Round 2 at Yop Reunion Pro Junior
Trois Bassins, Reunion Island (Monday, April 11, 2011) –The third day of action saw a rise of level and action at the ASP Men’s 3-Star Yop reunion Surf Pro Junior presented by Hollywood. With thirty-two men taking to the water and consistent walling-up five-foot (1.5 meter) waves breaking at Trois-Bassins, Europe’s top Under-21 athletes stepped-up in style.
The explosive combination of talents brought progressive surfing and commitment to the line-up, usual suspects throwing fins-out turns and vertical re-entries to stamp their authority and advance through to Round 3, last round before the event enters the one-to-one match-ups.
Event No. 3 seed and considered a favorite for the crown, local athlete Medi Veminardi (St Gilles, REU) found his rhythm to secure a Round 3 ticket confidently. Taking both left and righthanders at Trois-Bassins, the 20-year-old surfer managed to express his style netting a good 13.50 point heat total.
“I felt a little bit of pressure before my heat and was looking to get bigger scores actually,” Veminardi said. “The off-shore winds were very strong and it made it hard to get the board out and vertical. I hope I can get my game going and secure bigger scores in Round 3.”
For his first appearance in an ASP event on his home island, Veminardi was much expected by crowds and media for his second round surf, the solid regular-foot athlete dealing with the pressure and conditions comfortably.
“I’ve been close to the European title a few times but suffered from injuries every year,” Veminardi continued. “I am looking to start the year strong and have a shot at the title before heading full-time onto the ASP World Tour Star Series. My main goal is to do well here.”
Rising in style against the group of French surfers and showing great determination and talent, the Portuguese contingent was in form on the third day of competition, former ASP European Junior No. 3 Frederico Morais (Ericeira, PRT) and Fransisco Alves (PRT) both advancing out of Heat 6.
Morais, Portugal’s best Under-21 surfer and former ASP World Junior Tour qualifier (2009), hit the water with confidence after showing some impressive skills free-surfing at the world-famous break of St Leu since he landed in Reunion.
With the wave forecast showing consistency throughout the entire week and some fun contestable conditions scheduled, event officials put the event on-hold after completion of Round 2, leaving fifteen hours of competition before wrapping-up both men and women events.
Set to kick-off tomorrow, the ASP 2-Star Women’s Rexona Girls Pro Junior will gather twenty of Europe’s best Under-21 female surfers for the launch of the 2011 ASP European Women’s Junior Series.
“The level is high and today was a tricky one with the strong off-shore winds for all thirty-two surfers,” ASP European Junior Series Head judge Aitor Aguirremota said. “With four surfers out on the same peak, it is always going to be a tight battle and we are looking forward to seeing these top surfers battle it out in Round 3.”
Aerial specialist William Aliotti (St Martin, FWI), Maxime Huscenot (REU), Tristan Guilbaud (FRA), Hugo Dubosc (REU) and Dimitri Ouvre (BRB) were all able to advance today and will be back for their 4-man battles when competition resumes. All surfers, women and men, will meet tomorrow Tuesday, April 12, at 10 AM.

The DC Towers (actually Danube City Towers ) are two by French star architect Dominique Perrault at the Vienna Danube City planned skyscrapers. The first of the two buildings is purely externally structurally completed, the official completion date was 1 October 2013. However, the interior works are still ongoing. The second, smaller building is still in the planning phase.
General
The externally finished DC Tower 1 is 250 meters (without facade construction and antenna 220 meters) high and thus currently the tallest building in Austria. It now surpasses the Millennium Tower (the tallest building in Austria with 252 meters remains the Danube Tower).
The DC Tower 2 is currently planned with 168 meters and is therefore the fourth highest building in Vienna. The start of construction was delayed several times - not least due to the global financial crisis - which is why the ground-breacking ceremony not until 17th June 2010 took place. The construction of the Towers 1 is completed (in the inside work is still ongoing), the construction of Towers 2 has yet to begin.
The design of the towers is designed by Dominique Perrault in cooperation with the Vienna office Hoffmann- anz architects. A striking feature of both buildings is the step-like structure suspended facade. In order to absorb lateral forces due to wind, was between the 56th and 60 Floor built a 305-ton pendulum. As one of the first Austrian office towers the DC Tower 1 was by the energy and sustainability requirements of the EU Commission for a "green building" LEED certification earmarked.
Planned use (DC Tower 1)
Most floors are to be used as office levels. The Baxter should be major tenant of office space. On the upper floors arise so-called Sky-lofts. In the lower 15 floors of the DC Tower, a four-star hotel of the Spanish Sol Meliá group will move in, in one of the upper floors a restaurant will be set up. In June 2012 (Vienna Development Company for the Danube area) are rented just over 50 percent of the area, according to the project operator WED.

Progress
2010
The first activities in the then vacant land were observed at the end of February 2010. The start of construction was finally on 17 June 2010. In November, the first stake holes were started and the first permanently mounted crane came into use. In December, the construction of the foundation was already in full swing. By the end of the year was built only on the foundation.
2011
In 2011, the most visible progress was made. End of March 2011, the construction was started in early April and the first underground floors were completed. End of April, the first above-ground floor was built and the concrete core took visible proportions. There were now five solid construction cranes working. Beginning of the month of June, the first fixed roof crane was mounted and movable weather protection was installed. In July it was under construction, the DC Tower 1 is already visible from any higher buildings of Vienna. That same month, the far left crane, growing with the tower, was attached to the building and the first freight elevator on the west side of the tower was installed. In August 2011, the concrete core disappeared into the building and growing of the 13th Floor was completed. Furthermore, we started with the high traction of the glass facade on the west- north- and south-side.
In September was began with the construction of the glass facade on the east side of the building. Laterally has indeed been pulled the facade on all four sides of the tower to wind and weather protection, but hardly Höhenbaufortschritt (upside construction progression) was seen. This was due to the outrigger floors which are to ensure the stability of the building. These floors were completed in late November, but the weather protection since then grew by only 1 floor. Due to this, the expected opening date of early 2013 has been postponed until at least Summer 2013.
Construction since 2012 and Future
As of spring 2012, there was another height growth. All 4.8 days the tower grew by a storey. End of April 2012 was worked on the 32nd floor which marks approximately half the final height. On 25 October in the same year was yet on the 60th and last stage worked. According to WED it is worked six days a week. On the tower two cranes were in use. They grew with the building. One was fixed to the outer skin, the other was placed in one of the elevator shafts. They have just like all working lifts already been removed. In late summer 2013, the last façade elements were in assembly. On 19 September of the same year, the 30 meter high antenna was finally placed in position by a special helicopter of the company Heliswiss. Externally, the building is thus regarded as completed.
In October 2013 the first tenants will be moving into the DC Tower 1. Earliest by 2015, the DC Tower 2 is supposed to get the starting shot for construction.

Built in 2020-2021, the new Wapato Way East/SR 99 roundabout in Fife, WA is closer to completion in this 2020 photo.
The roundabout allows freight and other highway users to more easily access SR 99 over the new Wapato Way East bridge, also built in 2020-2021.
Building the new Wapato Way bridge and roundabout paved the way for the rest of the SR 167 Completion Project, which is part of WSDOT's Puget Sound Gateway Program.
The completion project adds a new expressway from SR 167's end point near Puyallup to SR 509 near the Port of Tacoma.
The Puget Sound Gateway Program combines the SR 509 Completion Project in south King County with the SR 167 Completion Project in Pierce County to complete critical missing links in Washington state's highway and freight network. These projects provide new connections to the state's ports, improve freight movement and reduce congestion on local roads and highways. Both projects have multimodal benefits with miles of new trails, sidewalks and shared use paths.
March 2019's theme was WATER!
It’s the main source of all life. The lifeblood element that makes up 60% of our bodies.
It’s the liquid that we don’t drink enough of, yet waste effortlessly.
It’s home to millions of species, mysteries, and undiscovered knowledge.
We know more about the stars in the sky than the depths of our oceans.
We can use it to save lives. If used foolishly, it can take lives.
We think there is an abundance, yet only one percent can be touched. If we don’t protect our waters, then what will happen to life?
Thanks to Nicework and Vega School for helping us make it possible!
Our Perth chapter chose this month’s exploration of Water and Sofia Varano illustrated the theme.
More about our speaker, Banele Khoza -
Banele Khoza was in born in 1994 in Hlatikulu (a small rural town) in eSwatini. During high school he moved to South Africa and is now based in Tshwane. He studied at the London International School of Fashion for a year, studying Fashion Design. Dismayed by the limited oppertunities to draw he transferred to study Fine Arts at Tshwane University of Technology. On completion of his degree he taught Drawing and Art Theory at the same institution. In 2018 he decided to stop teaching to work as a full time artist.
Banele Khoza is a man to watch, with a recent solo show at Zeitz MOCAA, the 2017 Gerard Sekoto Foundation award under his belt and a fleet of taxi’s covered in his work (as the result of him winning the SA Taxi Foundation Art Award) his work is going places. Khoza’s first suite of lithographs published by The Artists’ Press, demonstrate his skill and dexterity. Khoza’s ability to embrace the unknown and to immerse himself in the technical possibilities of what lithography has to offer combined with the skills of Master Printer Mark Attwood have resulted in prints that reveal the artist’s gifts.
Khoza worked on stone and grained film using a combination of pencil, litho crayon and ink and tusche washes. The delicate traces of the dried ink, Khoza’s choice of colours and drawing abilities combine to delight the eye. Khoza has been a keen draftsman since the age of five, drawing images of the toys that he wanted but which his conservative parents refused to get for him. This sense of longing and vulnerability can be seen in Khoza’s lithographs.
Obsessively neat and detailed text weaves through some of the prints, but one cannot read all of the words. It is if the artist entices one into his private world and then stops one from fully accessing it, questioning the viewer’s motives for the intrusion. Khoza’s journals are an integral part of his practice and are reflected in his image making “I have never seen so many sharp pencils” is some of the text included in one of his lithographs. Khoza’s interest in the private and the public merges with his interest in social media, technology, connection/disconnection, isolation and a longing to be whole and completely present with someone as well as with oneself.
In the six two-colour prints faces and bodies are alluded to, the delicacy of the washes contrasting with the boldness of the forms. And just as things seem to be getting really serious the text and titles pull one back with a sense of delight and quirkiness
“Dear Olympia” (a reclining nude with two cats) and “Don’t forget the tomatoes” reminding one of everyday routines.

Cheyenne DeFrates' journey to college completion has been anything but traditional.
When alcohol addiction led to a 25-month prison sentence for the former teen dad, he decided it was time to turn his life around.
After completing a rigorous treatment program for substance abuse while incarcerated, Cheyenne began looking to better himself. The desire to change his life led him to LCC, where he started his path to an engineering degree at the lowest level of pre-college math.
Deane T. Morrison, Engineering Instructor at LCC, said that Cheyenne is the first student to complete a transfer degree in engineering after placing into Math 078.
After receiving his Associate of Science Transfer degree in Engineering from LCC, DeFrates is headed to Washington State University Vancouver. The prestigious Community College President's Award he received will cover the cost of full-time tuition.
DeFrates credits LCC faculty with helping him achieve his goal of becoming a provider for his wife and four children. His instructors encouraged him to first recognize and then hone his abilities.
After earning his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from WSUV in spring 2017, DeFrates hopes to secure employment in the region.
Two years later, Cheyenne landed his dream job with JH Kelly!
The Malibu pier was originally built in 1905 to help support the operations of Frederick Hastings Rindge's Malibu Rancho. Mr. Rindge died before the pier could be completed and his widow, May Rindge, took over with the overseeing of the construction and completion of the pier. Agricultural products from the ranch were shipped from the pier and shipments of building materials and necessities to support the ranch came in through the pier. The Rindge's private railroad had a terminus near the pier and the famed Malibu Potteries factory was just east of the pier.
The Adamson family had a wall built along the highway from the house to the pier in 1932. Parts of the wall still remain today. The pier's front entrance tower and storage area is decorated with Malibu Potteries tile. Both the tower and the pier sign are original and have remained the same throughout the years.
In 1934 the pier was opened to the public for charter fishing and sports fishing boats operated from the pier until the early 1960's. After the Rindge's Marblehead Land Co went bankrupt in 1936, the pier was taken over by the bondholders who had helped finance Malibu development and at this time the pier was extended to its current 781-foot length with a bait-and-tackle shop added to the end of the pier.
During WWII, the end of the pier served as a U.S. Coast Guard daylight lookout station. Strong storms in the winter of 1943-1944 destroyed the bait-and-tackle shop along with the end of the pier. The remains of the pier were sold to William Huber's Malibu Pier Company for $50,000 with the proviso that he would construct a new building for the Coast Guard to occupy. This building was near the end of the pier and became the Malibu Sports Club Restaurant in 1966 and then the Malibu Pier Club after a change in owners. In 1972 the building became Alice's Restaurant (inspired by the Arlo Guthrie song) and served its famous B-52 cocktails.
At the end of the war, Huber expanded the pier and built the twin buildings at the end for a bait-and-tackle shop and a restaurant. In an effort to add protection to the pier, an artificial reef was constructed about a mile southeast of the pier in the ocean out of concrete pilings, old streetcars, and other heavy material.
In 1980 Huber put the pier up for sale, but Huber did not sell at that time. Later that same year, the State of California bought the pier and continued to operate it under the State Department of Parks and Recreation.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to recommend the pier for registration as a Point of Historical Interest. In 1993 the pier was severely damaged by the El Nino storms and then in 1995 the pier suffered even more damage after more severe storms and was declared unsafe and closed to the public. California transferred the pier to the City of Malibu in 1997 with the proviso that Malibu fix and maintain it. The City did not have the funds to restore the pier and it reverted back to the State. It remained closed for the next thirteen years until July of 2008 when it was reopened by the State after restoration and repairs were completed at a cost of $10 million dollars!
