Designed to maximize the day-to-day activities of players, coaches and staff, the new Allen N. Reeves Football Complex elevates the Clemson University football program, and promotes the recruitment, training and development of student athletes with likely the most functional facility of its type in college or pro football. The building, designed by GMC's sports group and HOK, adjoins the indoor practice facility and outdoor practice fields, consolidating football operations into one complex. Clemson staff visited 36 similar faciltiies across the country and took the best parts from each and made them better. The 142,500-square-foot complex is the largest and most programmatically inclusive football-specific training facility in the nation. Knowing that this facility will serve as a home away from home for many of the users, the project provides amenities that allow the student-athletes to train, study and unwind in the same place. Features include 1.5 acres of outdoor leisure and entertainment space, state-of-the-art hydrotherapy, training, weight equipment and technology, a steam room and recovery room and a Gatorade fuel bar. The design maximizes adjacencies and functionality, with a centralized player concourse that allows coaches and athletes to move efficiently through their routines and better utilize valuable practice and training time. The concourse is connected to the lobby through a slide, bringing Coach Swinney’s focus on fun to the forefront in the design. The multiple atriums in teh facility keep the coaches on the second floor in constant contact with players on the first floor. The complex also features miniature golf, bowling, a movie theater, gaming lounge and basketball, volleyball and bocce ball courts, giving players an opportunity for some friendly competition. Compelling graphics and displays throughout the facility celebrate the team’s storied history and reflect the Clemson spirit, including a scale replica of Memorial Stadium’s famous Hill and Howard’s Rock. Of course the home of the national champions would not be complete without a prominent spot to display their trophies including the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship trophy, which sits proudly in the main atrium. The project is targeting LEED Silver certification.

Village: Birnarayna Block: Nilokheri District: Karnal State: Haryana Country: India Date: 24th July 2014
A board announces village Biranarayna as a climate smart village next to paddy fields.
Local farmers are part of Farmer Participatory Evaluation of Adaptation and Risk Management Interventions in Birnarayna. Various key climate smart interventions such as zero tillage, Direct Seeded Rice (DSR), raised bed planting, residue management, crop diversification, and nutrient management have been introduced in this village.
Harpreet Singh a large holding farmer with 95 acre who is part of this initiative says “ Water management has improved productivity and lowered costs extensively.” In a 3.5 Acre of land he has 2400 Eucalyptus tees under which he grows Maize, Bottlegroud and other crops. Agroforestry systems enhance carbon sequestration and provide fuel wood, thus reducing the need to deforest.
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) is working with communities to develop ‘Climate-Smart Villages’. These are sites where researchers, local partners, and farmers collaborate to evaluate and maximize synergies across a portfolio of climate-smart agricultural interventions. The programme aims to improve farmers’ income and resilience to climatic risks and boost their ability to adapt to climate change. Photographer: CCAFS/2014/Prashanth Vishwanathan

Built in 1925-1926, this Renaissance Revival-style theater was designed by Rapp and Rapp and Louis Comfort Tiffany as the flagship venue in the Shea chain of theaters, located in various parts of Buffalo. The building, like many Rapp and Rapp theaters and large theaters built during the time period, features an impressive facade at the entrance to the theater along the principal street frontage, a long corridor to the auditorium that is made up of a series of beautifully decorated lobbies, a large auditorium in the rear along a secondary frontage, perpendicular to the entrance and parallel to the street, and a commercial building along the principal street frontage that runs from the entrance to the theater to the end of the auditorium, maximizing the usage of the site for economically productive purposes. The theater was acquired by Loew’s in 1948, whom operated the theater until 1975, with the surrounding section of Downtown Buffalo declining during that time, and the theater being sold to the Hepco Realty Company in the 1960s, after which it was leased by Loew’s. In 1974, back taxes led to the theater being taken by the city of Buffalo, and later that year, Loew’s attmepted to strip the building of its interior fixtures and fittings, which was narrowly avoided via court injunction, and though Loew’s no longer owned the building, they still argued that original features and fixtures of the building, which they had not purchased or installed themselves, were theirs to take. The building was subsequently given protective custody by the Friends of the Buffalo Theater, Inc., a nonprofit, which, under the direction of Comptroller George O'Connell, reopened the theater as a live performance venue in the late 1970s. The city of Buffalo took back control of the theater in 1979, helping facilitate the formation of the Shea’s O’Connell Preservation Guild, Ltd. to manage the operations of the theater, with the organization gaining ownership of the theater from the city in 2000, which they continue to own and manage.
The theater’s exterior is clad in red and cream brick to the sides and rear, with terra cotta and green marble on the principal facade. The rear facade, along Pearl Street, is clad in cream brick with a large arched faux window panel made of terra cotta above the bronze doors and small marquee, which provide access to the building’s lobby immediately outside the theater, with stone and terra cotta cladding at the base of the facade, a large metal fire escape for the theater’s balcony mounted to the exterior, circular reliefs with shields above, and a terra cotta cornice at the top of the building. The theater’s fly tower and stage were expanded in a renovation under the direction of Kideney Architects in 1997-1999 to add more room for live performance equipment and sets, along with a new backstage wing with a loading dock, small punched opening windows, and red brick cladding on the north side of the theater, encroaching on the former Greyhound Bus Terminal next door, and creating a small, mostly enclosed courtyard between the two buildings. The front facade features a lower two-story commercial wing clad in terra cotta with retail shopfronts on the first floor, large Chicago-style windows on the second floor with metal mullions, a parapet with a renaissance gable in the middle above the entrance to the second-story spaces and near the north end, which supports a sign for the Shea’s Smith Theater, a smaller venue now located within this section of the complex. At the south end of the principal facade is the main entrance to the theater, which features green marble panels flanking the bronze doors at the base, with the words “The Wonder Theatre” on the large transom above, and bronze display cases for show posters and advertisements on either side of the doors. Above this is a large marquee with decorative trim at the top, a lot of exposed lightbulbs, large lettering, decorative brackets that flank reliefs with fleur-de-lis, and digital signs on the north and south sides that are easily visible along Main Street to advertise shows and performances at the theater. Above the marquee is a massive three-story curtain wall in an arched opening, flanked by decorative terra cotta relief panels and trim, with three smaller one-over-one windows at the south end of the facade behind the iconic and massive blade sign, which features a lot of lightbulbs, and is a 2004 reproduction of the original blade sign, which was replaced in 1942. The top of the building features a decorative frieze with urns, vines, and a fleur-de-lis in the central panel, a cornice with dentils, and a parapet with acroterons at the ends, a broken pediment with volutes, a carved face in the middle and rosettes, and a decorative finial at the top.
The interior of the theater is lavishly decorated and has a similar layout and similar features to many of the other Rapp and Rapp theaters. This includes, in the lobby, marble pilasters separating arched bays with mirrors and decorative draperies, original Louis Comfort Tiffany chandeliers and wall sconces, ceilings with murals and painted beams, archways surrounded by decorative trim, decorative brass railings at the stairs and balconies, carpeted floors, and ornate decorative plasterwork. The vestibule housing the ticket booth features walls clad in green marble, a decorative plaster ceiling, bronze radiator grilles on the side walls, an arched transom over the doors to the lobby, decorative plasterwork around the top of the walls, and a freestanding octagonal ticket booth in the middle of the space with a green marble lower portion, decorative wood trim around its plate glass windows, urns at the corners of the roof of the ticket booth, and small chandeliers. The auditorium features many of the same elements as the lobby, with features unique to the space within the building including a large proscenium stage, domed ceilings above and below the balcony, Spanish Baroque styling on the ceiling and walls, arches with decorative trim and large oxeye bays containing mirrors, a Wurlitzer pipe organ, and a reproduction Tiffany curtain that matches the original design of the auditorium, but had been substituted for a Rapp-designed curtain when the theater opened.
The theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 to help facilitate its preservation. Between 2000, when the Shea’s O’Connell Preservation Guild, Ltd. was deeded the theater, and 2014, the theater and its interior were fully restored and the building’s systems modernized, and allowing the building to become a fully-featured Performing Arts Center, anchoring the theater district along Main Street in Downtown Buffalo.

Nowadays, It is very important to work on our personal impact skills as we are not born with it. It came to us with time and maturity as well. Further, it is not necessary that we are perfectly skilled in the tasks which we get to perform on a daily basis. This means we all need to improve our both the internal and external skills for completely maximizing the personal impact on the general public. This is because no one can perform the best for their tasks until and unless they understand the importance of internal skills and moreover understanding the value of personal impact at your working place.

Model E17B
Civil Registration: NC19467
The Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing is an American biplane with an atypical negative wing stagger (the lower wing is farther forward than the upper wing). It first flew in 1932.
At the height of the Great Depression, aircraft executive Walter H. Beech and airplane designer Ted A. Wells joined forces to collaborate on a project to produce a large, powerful, and fast cabin biplane built specifically for the business executive. The Beechcraft Model 17, popularly known as the "Staggerwing", was first flown on November 4, 1932. During its heyday, it was used as an executive aircraft, much as the private jet is now, and its primary competition were the Waco Custom Cabin and Waco Standard Cabin series of biplanes.
The Model 17's unusual negative stagger wing configuration (the upper wing staggered behind the lower) and unique shape maximized pilot visibility and was intended to reduce interference drag between the wings (although it was later found to have negligible effect). The fabric-covered fuselage was faired with wood formers and stringers over a welded, steel tube frame. Construction was complex and took many man-hours to complete. The Staggerwing's retractable conventional landing gear, uncommon at that time, combined with careful streamlining, light weight, and a powerful radial engine, helped it perform well.
In the mid-1930s, Beech undertook a major redesign of the aircraft, to create the Model D17 Staggerwing. The D17 featured a lengthened fuselage that improved the aircraft's handling characteristics by increasing control leverage, and the ailerons were relocated to the upper wings, eliminating interference with the flaps. Braking was improved with a foot-operated brake linked to the rudder pedals.
Between April 1936 through May 1940 there were six Model 17 fatal accidents involving midair breakups that were attributed to weather conditions and structural failures, later determined to be caused by flutter of the ailerons and wings. The CAA Bureau of Safety Regulation initially issued an edict to restrict maximum airspeed and instrument flight, which was later replaced by a safety bulletin requiring lead balance weights to be added to the ailerons and flaps, and plywood panels to the outboard portion of the wings to increase torsional stiffness of the wing tip section.
Sales began slowly. The first Staggerwings' high price tag (between US$14,000 and $17,000, depending on engine size) scared off potential buyers in an already depressed civil aircraft market. Only 18 Model 17s were sold during 1933, the first year of production, but sales steadily increased. Each Staggerwing was custom-built by hand. The luxurious cabin, trimmed in leather and mohair, held up to five passengers. Eventually, the Staggerwing captured a substantial share of the passenger aircraft market. By the start of World War II, Beechcraft had sold more than 424 Model 17s.
As World War II loomed, a number of Model B17Ls were pressed into service as bombers by the FARE, the air forces of the Second Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War. China ordered a number of Staggerwings to use as ambulance planes in its fight against Imperial Japan. Finland had one C17L as a liaison aircraft between 1940 and 1945. On October 2, 1941, Beech shipped a special camouflaged D17S to Prince Bernhard of Lippe, who was in exile in London after the German invasion of the Netherlands. He used it for refugee work in and around London.
YC-43 Traveler
The Beech UC-43 Traveler was a slightly modified version of the Staggerwing. In late 1938, the United States Army Air Corps purchased three Model D17Ss to evaluate them for use as light liaison aircraft. These were designated YC-43 (Y designating a development aircraft or non-standard type, C standing for Cargo). After a short flight test program, the YC-43s went to Europe to serve as liaison aircraft with the air attachés in London, Paris, and Rome.
Early in World War II, the need for a compact executive-type transport or courier aircraft became apparent, and in 1942, the United States Army Air Forces ordered the first of 270 Model 17s for service within the United States and overseas as the UC-43 (USAAF designation for Utility, Cargo). These differed only in minor details from the commercial model. To meet urgent wartime needs, the government also purchased or leased (impressed) additional "Staggerwings" from private owners, including 118 more for the Army Air Force plus others for the United States Navy. In Navy service, the planes were designated as GB-1 and GB-2 (under USN designating convention signifying General (purpose), Beech, 1st or 2nd variant of type). The British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy acquired 106 "Traveller Mk. I" (the British name uses the UK double "l" spelling) through the Lend-Lease arrangement to fill its own critical need for light personnel transports.
The production UC-43 differed in minor details from the service test YC-43. Two distinguishing external features of the UC-43 are the circular automatic direction finder antennae mounted between the main landing gear and landing lights near the lower wingtips. They were all powered by the 450 horsepower (336 kilowatt) Pratt & Whitney R-985 engine.

Smith/Pendleton Residence/Studio
Architect: Ned Sawyer
Year: 1981
Ned Sawyer designed this home in 1981 for Dr. Dubrow and his artistic wife, Gail. The H-shaped plan features a central atrium and was designed around mature trees already on the vacant site. Careful placement of glass minimizes solar heat gain while maximizing privacy. The triangular conversation pit is a big attraction at parties. The large studio with greenhouse-style northern light is any artist’s dream. The home is now owned by an architect/artist couple. Improvements include a new deck and art in the atrium. The home features art by Nancy Pendleton, Alan Hochman, Otto Rigan, Gary Slatter, Sherri Belassen, Frank Iberra, Many Ann Kalinsky, Joe Ray and James Cook.
