After a chaotic and problematic week with work I decided to have saturday off.

 

Leaving the hotel early in Delft I stepped on a train, off the train and onto another and found myself in Alkmaar. When I last visited in was under ice and snow.

 

In 2015 the station was expanded to cope with traffic growth (Alkmaar is an expansion city within the national plan). Between 2014 and 2016 the north side of the station area was altered significantly. A 3,000 space multi-level bike park was added. A new bridge utilising large expanses of glass plate has been built over the tracks and it is from this that I took these photos helped by a wonderfully clear spring sky. The bridge gives great views of the Victorian parts of the town and the newer parts.

 

Alkmaar Station opened on 20 December 1865 when the railway opened between Alkmaar and Den Helder. This was the second railway opened by the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij after the Amsterdam–Rotterdam railway. The line through Alkmaar was on the Staatslijn K railway, built by the Dutch state between 1865 and 1878, designed by Karel Hendrik van Brederode.

  

back reverse of the classic shift dress made in green linen completed today. it fits ok and i'll be wearing it.

 

it was the first time i'd fitted an invisible zip, apart from tacking one into the toile. the base of the zip was problematic and that can be seen in the photo. it took me a very long time to insert. it was the most difficult part of the dress. thankfully from the outside it looks ok, though by no means perfect. i reinforced the back of the zip on either side with a narrow strip of interfacing

 

fabric for the actual dress green linen 2 metres @ £7 a metre

toile calico 2 metres @ £3 per metre

width for both linen and calico 1m 50cm

Hiya

I'm finally trying to build something based on a real life car again - yay!

 

Something I could use some advice on:

because the vehicle in question has a big SNOT piece on the side, I decided to make a vertical hinge system, reminiscent of the Audi RS4. What I don't like about the hinge in this orientation: there are some visible studs showing.

 

Is there a hinge system that:

- works as a SNOT system

- only is 1x something wide (so the 'other hinge' would fit on a 1 stud wide B pillar)

- could look flush with bodywork

- physically works (so you could actually open the door)

 

Any help is appreciated!

CERAWK201441556-05MAR2014-OV-FONG.JPG - Securing Public Trust in a Hyperconnected World

Public trust in the energy industry is problematic. Yet as the industry operates increasingly on-shore and in heavily populated areas, winning and assuring public trust is essential for securing the social license to operate. Debates over energy are increasing polarized. How can the industry better engage and establish trust with stakeholders?

•What are the lesson and emerging practice for engaging stakeholders at the local, community and regional level?

•How does the exponential growth of social media and hyper-connectivity impact strategies for stakeholder engagement?

•What is the changing role of NGOs and how are they impacting public discourse over energy and the environment?

•How can leader prepare their companies for a world of greater transparency and regulatory oversight?

The wind was proving problematic for recording and we resorted to finding a sweet-spot amongst the pine trees on the North side - with only limited success. Here, "Axe" runs down from the siding with a loaded bogie coal wagon and stops adjacent to the platform.

The long series of films, videos, engaged interventions in public space, performances, and object installations provide a consistent testimony to the power of the themes reflected. For many years, Vladimír Turner has persistently pointed out problematic, and often strongly cautionary, moments of Anthropocene civilisation in various places around the world. The enchanted mechanism of consumption-production, the deceitfulness of marketing strategies, the extraction of non-renewable resources, the brutal devastation of the landscape, mass tourism, the misconception of the possibility of shackling the organism of a big city to a structure of order, gentrification, homelessness, inhumane methods of political systems. In fact, the theme of the essence of pure humanity, personal and social responsibility towards the landscape, nature, and a sustainable way of life based on local self-sufficiency is recalled again and again. He points out the themes through matter-of-factly simple acts. This makes the awareness of the necessity of individual engagement all the more intense. Although his conceptual works have an activist character, often dealing with the subversion of paradox, the expressive power of the pure artistry cannot be ignored. Through his installation for the Veleslavín station, Vladimír Turner verbalises the sculptural situation with the themes of sustainable mobility, fossil fuels, international trade, the relationship of motoring vs. train transport, and exodus and nomadism as consequences of climate change. He chooses the form of a specifically modified Volvo car, with an appeal to the constant presence of the potential of a natural human resource. The ideas of the installation are directly related to the genesis of the artist’s intended film, in which he finds himself in the role of an aborigine, the last survivor on planet Earth, who begins to build everything necessary to live from the garbage all around him. “System Change! Not Climate Change!” (VT)

The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2012.

These are two of my most prized photos, though that's a bit problematic as these are the ONLY prints I have of each, and I think both are not-great-quality scans. Anyhow, the photo on the left is my now-husband and me in August 1994, when we first met. I was 15 and he was 20. See, my sister was stationed in Illinois with the Navy, and she flew me out to Chicago to spend some time with her. One of her best friends at the time was this guy named Kurt -- who ultimately became my husband. This is one of the very few photos I have of him with hair -- and you can see my natural color too. The photo on the right was taken about three months after we started dating five years later, when I was 20 and he was 25. I was a student at the College of William and Mary, while he was stationed at the shipyard in Portsmouth, about an hour south of Williamsburg. He came up to be my date at the King & Queen Ball in April 2000. This is one of our first photos together. Now we've been married over ten years, together for twelve, and we have two awesome daughters. I think I really hit the jackpot when I married my husband.

The Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a historically notable problem in mathematics. Its negative resolution by Leonhard Euler in 1735 laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology.

The city of Königsberg in Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia) was set on both sides of the Pregel River, and included two large islands which were connected to each other and the mainland by seven bridges.

The problem was to find a walk through the city that would cross each bridge once and only once. The islands could not be reached by any route other than the bridges, and every bridge must have been crossed completely every time; one could not walk halfway onto the bridge and then turn around and later cross the other half from the other side. The walk need not start and end at the same spot. Euler proved that the problem has no solution. There could be no non-retracing the bridges. The difficulty was the development of a technique of analysis and of subsequent tests that established this assertion with mathematical rigor.

After a chaotic and problematic week with work I decided to have saturday off.

 

Leaving the hotel early in Delft I stepped on a train, off the train and onto another and found myself in Alkmaar. When I last visited in was under ice and snow.

Most people know about the current lawsuit between the NFL and former players regarding the

league’s problematic concussion rate potentially leading to extreme changes in the

memory/capacity of the brain. A concussion occurs when a person receives a blow to the head,

causing damage to the brain cells. The cells usually take two weeks to heal, but continuing to be

active or suffering another head injury can lead to permanent damage. We wanted to see if there

was a similar trend in high school football. The purpose of our study was to determine whether the

number of concussions suffered by a player has a significant impact on their GPA. We

hypothesized that if a player suffers a single concussion, then they are more likely to have a lower

GPA than a player who has not suffered a concussion. We surveyed high school football players

(N=35) on their number of diagnosed concussions and their current high school GPA. Our

hypothesis was supported; individuals who suffered a single concussion had a significantly lower

GPA. Further, the data showed an additive effect; the more concussions athletes suffer, the lower

their GPA. It’s possible these results are due to the physiological effects of concussions or due to

the time spent out of class in recovery. We also discuss the player positions that have the highest

concussion rate, which means they may require additional protection. Additionally, we investigate

the potential use cognitive tests pre- and post-football seasons to monitor the effects of concussions

over time. Our study highlights the ease at which high schools could monitor the effects of

concussions on their athletes. It is our hope that this study can push research further and make high

school football safer.

 

Another disadvantage of life in the valleys - problematical television reception due to the terrain. These satellite dishes are presumably mounted here as there is no clear line of sight from the houses, lower in the steep sided valley. They also have aerials on the houses, but I'm not sure what their reception is like.
