First responders from across the country were in Virginia Beach for a massive structural collapse training exercise hosted by the Virginia Beach Fire Department and Virginia Task Force 2. The annual School was held at the sprawling complex of crawl spaces and staged disaster zones representing different scenarios – things first responders have seen and experienced first-hand. This course gives urban search and rescue teams a chance to practice their skills. More than 160 people took part in the hands-on training lasting for 8 days with students coming from as far as San Francisco, California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware.

Premier SIPS Help Create a Tight, Well-Insulated Building Envelope for Finn Hill Junior High
The SIP panels will help the school district reduce energy costs, and allow for smaller, more cost-effective mechanical systems. Reducing heating and cooling consumption was critical for the building’s “net-zero energy ready” design, meaning that the potential area for the roof-mounted solar panels is sufficient to power all the school’s needs. The school will open with one of the largest solar panel installations in the state.
Finn Hill Junior High Project Summary:
Location: Kirkland, Washington (Seattle area)
Building size: 120,000 square feet (approx.)
Structural Insulated Panel area (walls and roof): 200,000 square feet (approx.)
Project status: Complete, opened Fall 2011
Funding source: 2006 school district bond measure
Design Team: Mahlum Architects, Seattle; Arup (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Telecom), Seattle; Cascade Design Collaborative (Landscape), Seattle; Coughlin Porter Lundeen (Civil, Structural), Seattle
General Contractor: Babbit Neuman Construction, Steilacoom, Wash.

SOUTH CHINA SEA (Oct. 19, 2012) Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman Cody Chapman, from Lincoln, Neb., tapes a protective covering over the canopy of a F/A-18E Super Hornet belonging to the “Royal Maces” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 27 in the hangar bay of the U.S. Navy’s forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). George Washington and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interest of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region.

A closer look at the connections between structural glass members. I like the resemblance to a spider holding all pieces together.
20 vessel supports ranging in length from 30" to 84" were manufactured for an oil refinery in Texas. The structural supports will be attached to existing vessels to assist in supporting the nearby pipes and piping system. The supports were fabricated from carbon steel and coated with a hot-dipped galvanize finish to prevent corrosion.

The crane picks up the girder and moves it until it is clear of the timber base where it was resting.
Here you can see the inside knuckle girders, Pier 5 on the left and Pier 6 on the right. The closure girders, that will connect the two piers will span OVER the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks, so we had to request a rail outage for this work.
This is a list of suggestions that Anita Sarkeesian has for social media platforms in combating on-line abuse. She also recommends reading Hate Crimes in Cyberspace for a look at the legal framework that could be put in place
28 April 2015 LinkedIn assembled it's leading Group Managers/Moderators & invited them to come by "The Mothership"- for a full day of debriefing on our collective thought(s) on "HOW" we craft an interactive and useful Group ?
Interesting to note that they use Professional Researchers/Sociologists in the data gathering and interpretations ....
Cactus can be so much more challenging to photograph than "regular" plants; they lack the branches and leaves that allow creative patterns and shapes that other plants have. However, this cactus was pretending to be part of the greenhouse window frame, and I thought that was quite fun.

From Structural Adjustment to the Post-Washington Consensus and Beyond: Paradigm Shifts in Development Aid
Matthew Winters, Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Illinois
At the conclusion of the Cold War, new ideological space opened up for foreign aid to be more clearly dedicated to economic development and poverty alleviation. At the same moment, intellectual tides were turning against structural adjustment programming, which had stimulated little economic growth over the previous decade and, in fact, was accused of having led to increased, rather than decreased, immiseration. By the late 1990s, there had been a discursive shift away from the neoliberal economic policies of the Washington Consensus, and the international development industry was discussing good governance and the need to combat corruption; the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund replaced their structural adjustment lending with so-called poverty reduction lending. The turn of the millennium brought the poverty-focused Millennium Development Goals, and the first decade of the 21st century brought a series of conferences on aid effectiveness and the rising prominence of evidence-based foreign aid. How great are the changes that the development industry has seen over the past 30 years? How different is the post-Washington Consensus era from that which preceded it? And what are the implications of these changes for economic development and poverty alleviation?
