The MOD 112, for a team of young, innovative developers, who are set to demonstrate that modular can be right for the city, addresses the need for moderate income, small units with a reduced financing period, short delivery time through offsite construction. The design is intentionally rigorous, taking advantage of the restrictions inherent to the construction methods, turning the limitations into opportunities.
The design strategy is very simple: the facade expresses the stacking of the pieces, but also groups the modules to showcase the breadth of the individual residential units.
The result, far from a beehive collection of small modules, is a building composed of clearly identifiable and diverse housing units, that feel more like micro-lofts, than micro-units The high ceiling and the large windows also relate to the proportional relationships of loft spaces, the light and airy living area allows for different modes of inhabitation.
The frames that outline the units on the two facades, stem from a single pilaster that knits together the whole and identifies the lobby and rear park access.
The material selection utilizes large unitized super-insulated glass windows, simple flashing metal colored bands and textured concrete panels. The recycled wood panel accents recall the classic
fifties furniture, in some way reminding us that prefabricated construction is and should be built as precisely as modernist furniture.
Like TRA's past projects downtown, this project addresses the best utilization of infill sites, the small but significant interventions strategically contributing, like the stimulation points on a meridian channel network, to the revitalization of still emerging neighborhoods.
This diagram shows the 11 modules that make up a full floor of the MOD 112 building.

Ford Triggers supply boom
An announcement by the Ford Motor Company to reduce its number of worldwide suppliers by 90 percent has been welcomed by a South Wales union boss. Andy Richards, Transport and General Workers Union district officer who is responsible for members at Ford in Wales, says the decision could mean more business for local companies.
He said: "The Swansea factory has won a contract to supply Ford's plant in Kansas and the reson for this is because we can do it economically. In Wales we have lower unit costs, and can actually produce things more cheaply. We are hoping that this decision will win back to Wales some of the work currently carried out by component manufacturers in Europe. Ford corporate affairs manager, Don Hume, said the car manufacturer would be reviewing its suppliers on a global basis. "It will affect everyone from people who supply our stationery to those who supply major engine parts, but for those who meet Ford's high quality standards it could mean more business". Part of the changes includes a new just-in-time policy which involves relocating suppliers next to Ford plants to save on transport costs etc. Mr Richards said: "Our Union has been working closely with the company and people like the WDA, who are supporting this initiative and looking at ways of helping firms set up factories close to the main Ford plants".

What was once a magnificent temple, now rubble. Thank you temple, for cleansing us through your burning.

He and his Thayer design team created a dehumidification system for space flight for their ENGS 89/90: Engineering Design Methodology and Project Completion. The group was accepted to NASA's Microgravity University, where they tested their designs.

The last time we bought a new sofa was before the turn of the century (makes it sound older than 'before 2000').
This is an ex-display example with low bum mileage for half the cost of a new one. Sold!
The bit at the end reminds me of Carry On Cleopatra where she is being fed Grapes (by various male suitors). Can't beat a bit of Chaise Longuing around right?
We await delivery by a shiny green John Lewis truck...
At extreme slow speeds, the spin of a record player is reduced to a glacial crawl, the music to seismic rumbling. A beat may last a minute, and the tiny slices of silence between them become ambient voids. On each day of the Festival a different record was played, from Ravel to The Sex Pistols to Ornette Coleman, slowed down to the length of the gallery opening hours. With this work Finer continues his interest in long-durational processes and extremes of scale.
Biography
Jem Finer is a UK-based artist, musician and composer. Since studying computer science in the 1970s, he has worked in a variety of fields, including photography, film, music and installation. His 1000-year long musical composition, Longplayer, represents a convergence of many of his concerns, particularly those relating to systems, long-durational processes and extremes of scale in both time and space.
Among his other works is Score For a Hole In the Ground, a permanent, self-sustaining musical installation in a forest in Kent which relies only on gravity and the elements to be audible. Between 2003 and 2005 he was artist in residence in the Astrophysics Department of Oxford University, making a number of works including two sculptural observatories, Landscope and The Centre of the Universe. Recent work, focusing on his interest in long-term sustainability and the reconfiguring of older technologies, includes Spiegelei, a 360-degree spherical camera obscura.

RAYTHEON GBU-24 PAVEWAY II
The GBU-24 Paveway II laser guided bomb consists of a standard 2000 pound unguided or "dumb" bomb fitted with a guidance and control unit and a set of controllable fins. The laser seeker in the nose detects a laser beam reflected from the target either by the aircraft dropping the bomb or from another airborne or ground source. It then controls the fins on the nose of the bomb to direct it to the target. The bomb can be dropped from more than 10 miles away from the target. Laser guided "smart" bombs have greatly increased the accuracy and effectiveness of aerial bombing greatly reducing both the number of bombs needed to destroy a target and damage to surrounding areas.

US Coast Guard Ice Breaker "Sturgeon Bay" WTGB 109 at work around Kingston Point / Rondout Creek / Buoys 73 & 74
The 140-foot Bay-class Cutters are state of the art icebreakers used primarily for domestic ice breaking duties.
They are named after American Bays and are stationed mainly in Northeast U.S. and Great Lakes.
WTGBs use a low-pressure-air hull lubrication or bubbler system that forces air and water between the hull and ice. This system improves icebreaking capabilities by reducing resistance against the hull, reducing horsepower requirements.
Length: 140 feet
Beam: 37.5 feet
Displacement: 662 tons
Power plant: Two diesel engines
Builder: Bay City Marine, Inc.
Launched: 1987
Commissioned: 1988

My project is about my process through getting a breast reduction. I had large breasts since the 8th grade and at some point it was easier for people to know my chest than know my face. I stood out for it when all I wanted to do was blend in. In my piece, I used only a palette knife to control the paint because there is very little control much like how I felt throughout this process. I went over parts with colored pencil and ink to tighten it up. There are faces and skulls staring at the figure while the figure is faceless representing how it feels to not have your face be the first thing people notice. Throughout the piece, there are phrases people have said to me throughout the process that are somewhat hidden and somewhat in plain sight. I have included what people have said to me through the complications I have had with the reduction. Even as I am typing, I am developing hives from the medication I’m on. So my piece is messy and emotional and dark even though I used a lot of color. In life, there is vibrant light and hope but it is also extremely messy at times too.
My hair feels great even after over 6 weeks without ANY hair products including shampoo!
