Swift Hall was the second building erected for the Engineering Department at the University of Cincinnati. Constructed in 1926, Swift Hall was designed by Harry Hake to be fireproof, made of steel and concrete, red wire-cut brick and Terra cotta trimming. The building was the last word in architecture, design and construction methods as new inventions changed the fabric of construction.
Swift Hall, named after the generous benefactor John B. Swift, housed the electrical engineering department for the expanding engineering department. Swift was the president of the Eagle Pitcher Lead Company and donated $150,000 in memory of his brother who had been a graduate of the University. Another generous donation by John Emery enabled the University to build the building.
Like other engineering programs across the United States, the University of Cincinnati's Engineering Department competed in the burgeoning world of technology. Through the persistence of UC instructor Paul Herget, who became an astronaut, the University beat out East Schools like Yale to obtain one of the first computers utilized in colleges. The computer was an IBM 650 and allowed UC’s Engineering Department to develop the first program to teach computer programming to the visually impaired as well as those with disabilities.
In 2002 and 2003 Swift Hall, along with other buildings at UC, were renovated to include computer-based classrooms, offices and meeting spaces. Currently Swift Hall houses the Main Campus Newspaper, the News Record, offices and classrooms. On a fun side note: astronomer Paul Herget later helped design the Pringle Potato Chip.
Oringinally completed in 1926, Swift Hall is adjacent to the Steger Student Life Center and houses classrooms, lecture halls, and offices for various UC programs. glaserworks, as Architect of Record worked closely with the University and with design firm Moore Ruble Yudell to create some of UC’s earliest high-tech "digital" classrooms. These electronic classrooms have been designed to comply with specific guidelines supporting teaching and learning with technology. Nearly every student has an unobstructed view of high definition video images projected from a computer, laptop, VCR, DVD, or document camera augmented with excellent sound quality. Lighting and shades are automatically controlled for optimum viewing and note-taking. In the larger lecture rooms, multiple screens allow simultaneous viewing and recording of side-by-side images for comparison or examination i.e. a scanned photo downloaded from the web shown adjacent to a physical specimen placed under the document camera.
In Hindu mythology the light signifies goodness and vitality. A traditional Puja is performed after sunset in all the homes. Ghee diyas (lamps) are lit in front of the deities, Naivedya of traditional sweets is offered to the Goddess and devotional songs- in praise of Goddess Laxmi are sung across all traditional Hindu homes. It is almost history today due to hectic life and urbanization.

You go, girls!
For mountainous, landlocked Armenia, Lake Sevan, one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world, is a major source of people’s livelihood. Azat Karapetyan is one of many people who literally depend on the lake. “My son and I decided to build this small restaurant by the shores of the lake so that customers can enjoy its beauty and our food, says Azat.
Their company, manages several businesses in the town of Sevan. All of them, including a bee farm that relies on the flora around the lake for its honey, and a grocery shop, are either directly or indirectly linked to the lake.
Since the Soviet era, profligate use of the lake’s water for irrigation and electricity generation had caused the level of the lake to drop by 20 meters, with dramatic consequences for the environment. Today, thanks to a rescue plan, the water level is rising again, giving hope that the lake can re-gain its original shape.
However, a major threat still looms over the delicate ecosystem and the people living in the dozens of lakeside villages. “In the past years, the lake has become very polluted, explains Azat. “It’s a problem for our work; the number of clients has decreased. The danger for public health is even greater; until recently, none of the towns and villages around the lake had any wastewater treatment or adequate sewage disposal. Outdated wastewater collection systems, utilising damaged pipes and unsanitary cesspits, would discharge raw sewage into rivers and streams flowing directly into the lake.
To help the Armenian government bear the high costs of a wastewater system upgrade in five municipalities around the lake, the EBRD has provided a €7 million loan and the European Union has contributed a €5 million capital expenditure grant. The project includes sewer pipe repairs in the Sevan and Jermuk area and construction of sewer networks and wastewater treatment plants to serve the towns of Gavar, Vardenis and Martuni. These are among the most destitute areas of Armenia, a country where 30 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line.
The government has on-lent the EBRD funds to the Armenian Water and Sewerage Company (AWSC). “We have already built 50 km of sewerage network and wastewater collectors, announces Alexander Ohanyan, AWSC’s senior officer. “We are about to finish building the three wastewater treatment stations. The works are expected to be completed by the summer. “Thanks to this programme, the water will be treated and the environment will be spared further pollution," he says.
Skills transfer with donor support
To support the preparation and implementation of this first EBRD Municipal and Environmental Infrastructure operation in Armenia, the Early Transition Country’s Fund and the EU provided €1.1 million for technical cooperation (TC) projects. This will encourage the transfer of knowledge and skills to the AWSC and expose the company to best practices in design, engineering and high standards of transparency and governance in procurement.
“It will be delightful to see the lake clean again, comments Azat strolling on the beach after a long day at work. “The neighbours and the guests are very happy that so much attention is being paid towards cleaning the water. It’s very important for our health and for our business.
To secure a healthier environment and to improve people’s lives, the EBRD recently signed another water project in Armenia which will see a further €20 million from the Bank, the EIB and the EU invested in water supply and wastewater system improvements in 17 other small municipalities across the country – helping to save Lake Sevan’s waters drop by drop.

(October 15, 2009) — Soldiers of the 22nd Chemical Battalion (Technical Escort) underwent a vigorous exercise testing their skill and knowledge in decontamination for chemical agents during a Chemical Response Team exercise in the Edgewood Area Sept. 24.
Captain Siyoung Lee, team leader for the Chemical Response Team (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high yield Explosives), explained that two chemical response teams were being evaluated by the unit’s subject matter experts.
The scenario was a response by the teams to a chemical agent exposure incident on front line troops. Team members formed three ranks, approximately five meters apart inside a ‘contaminated’ area marked by red tape. Casualties had to move forward into the area, stopping at each rank, to be decontaminated by team members. Read more...
WEEK 41: B&W – WEALTH
This is the Rundel Memorial Building located in Rochester, NY. This incredible building came into being because a man named Morton W. Rundel left the city $400,000, upon his death in 1911, for the construction of a Library and Fine Arts building.
22 years later, after much deliberation as to how to go about this (and legal battles with Rundel's family) construction began - providing hundreds of much needed jobs to local workers. The building was dedicated in 1935 and is still in use today.
There are many inscriptions carved into the building itself.

A NASA-funded sounding rocket mission will launch from an atoll in the Pacific this spring. The mission will help scientists better understand and predict the electrical storms in Earth's upper atmosphere that can negatively affect satellite communication and global positioning signals.
The mission, called EVEX, for the Equatorial Vortex Experiment, will launch into a crucial layer of charged particles surrounding our planet. Called the ionosphere, this layer serves as the medium through which high frequency radio waves – such as those sent down to the ground by global positioning system (GPS) satellites or, indeed, any satellite communicating with Earth – travel. The ionosphere begins about 60 miles above the ground and is filled with electrons and ions, alongside the more familiar extension of our electrically neutral atmosphere. Governed by Earth’s magnetic field, high-altitude winds, and incoming material and energy from the sun, the ionosphere can be calm in certain places or times of day, and quite turbulent at others.
EVEX will launch two rockets for a twelve-minute journey through the equatorial ionosphere above the South Pacific. This area of the ionosphere is known for calm days and tempestuous evenings, times when the ionosphere becomes rippled like a funhouse mirror, disturbing radio signals, and introducing GPS errors of a half mile or more. The two rockets will measure events in two separate regions of the ionosphere to see how they work together to drive the ionosphere from placid and smooth to violently disturbed. Such information could ultimately lead to the ability to accurately forecast this important aspect of space weather.
The launch window for EVEX is from April 27 to May 10. The team will decide when to fly based on conditions in the ionosphere on any given night.
