Gov. Neil Abercrombie and the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) celebrated the substantial completion of the H-1 Freeway Rehabilitation Project at a dedication ceremony at Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, overlooking the freeway. The project reconstructed and resurfaced one of the most heavily traveled corridors in the state and added an extra travel lane in both directions in less than 11 months. New LED street lighting, added drainage, and glare screens were also installed to improve highway safety.
Congratulations to our high potential EOP students on their completion of their residential bridge experience. Our convocation took place on Sunday, December 4, 2016. Back in the summer of 2015, most of these students were admitted to our campus by EOP as "special-admit" freshmen. This means that CSU rejected these students due to their low grades in high school, but EOP leaders recognized their high potential. For a summer plus three semesters, EOP leaders provided support services, especially mentors, to help these students develop their potential. Now several are young scholars on our campus.

Nearing completion at 110 Bishopsgate in the City of London. Second tallest (755ft) building in the UK. A rather nondescript skyscraper which perhaps isn't such a bad thing when compared to the vulgarity of its close neighbour, 30 St Mary Axe (a.k.a. The Gherkin). View On Black
RIVERSIDE, IL – Governor Pat Quinn today moved forward with a major initiative that will significantly improve the health of Illinois waterways by removing or modifying 16 low-head dams throughout the state over the next several years. At an event in Riverside, the governor announced the completion of the Hofmann Dam removal. The dam removal initiative is the latest by Governor Quinn to protect the environment and preserve Illinois’ natural resources. Dam removal on Des Plaines River, Chicago River and other waterways will improve aquatic habitat and remove dangerous impediments to paddlers.
Metro representatives and others gathered to commemorate the completion of a $10 million light rail interlocking project near the UMSL South MetroLink Station, located at 7798 Natural Bridge Road in St. Louis County. The interlocking will reduced operations and maintenance costs, as well as shorten delays for our customers during scheduled and unplanned service disruptions.

Kiso no Ohashi
Bridge made of Kiso Hinoki aged over 300 years. Widest wooden bridge in Japan
Craftsmanship brought together for the bridge
Terasawa said, ”Only hinoki is used to build this bridge, but in the durability test applying a load of 30t, the height of the bridge lowered by only 7mm.” And it returned to the original height immediately after the test. On hearing this, Nakata felt the strength hinoki possessed. If you look at the bridge from below, each piece of hinoki overlaps intricately to create the arch of the bridge. ”This is the work of true craftsmanship,” Nakata commented as he admired the bridge. Terasawa told Nakata, ”You can find my name written on the central part of the bridge.” Nakata looked up, and there the names of the craftsmen were written in ink, as if it were the emblem of their work.
Naraijuku
Naraijuku, located in central Nagano, was one of the stations on the Nakasendo route that connected Kyoto and Edo (present day Tokyo). It is the longest station street in Japan.
On the 1 kilometer-long street, there are buildings that remain from the Edo period (1603 – 1867) and the Meiji period (1868 – 1912). One building called Hatago, an accommodation during the Edo period, is currently used as a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) and a restaurant.
The Tezuka Family Residence, also on the street, is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. It is now a museum, and is open to the public. You can also enter the Nakamura Residence, which has a unique, traditional architectural build.
As you walk around, you can snack on local foods like goheimochi (rice cake on a stick) and oyaki (flour dumplings with fillings). Don’t forget to look for shops that sell Kiso lacquer ware, only available in this region!
having to experience it the traditional way like walking the same exact path the samurai did hundreds of years ago.
Nakasendo(Tsumago-Juku)
Nakasendo (literally “Central Mountain Route”)
The Nakasendo path is the longest of the five ancient routes commissioned by the Tokugawa Shogunate in the Edo period and one of only two that connect the old capital (Kyoto) to the new and current capital of Japan (Tokyo).
It spans 534 kilometers but you certainly don’t have to experience it all at once. I will introduce you to the Tsumago-juku portion of the route located within the Kiso Valley of Nagano Prefecture.
Momosuke Bridge
Japan’s Longest Wooden Suspension Bridge This bridge, which dates from 1922, was built to transport construction materials to the Yomikaki Power Plant about 2 kilometers downstream. Consisting of three stone piers and four spans, it is 247 meters from end to end, making it the longest wooden suspension bridge in Japan. It would have been more economical to build the bridge further downstream, where the river is narrower. Momosuke Fukuzawa, the flamboyant entrepreneur behind both the bridge and the power station, was less concerned with cost than with aesthetics, however. Because a longer bridge would be more elegant, he opted to build it here, where the river is wider. The original bridge was built of chestnut, pine, and cedar, with iron rails running down the middle for handcarts. As time passed and the wood started to decay, the bridge became increasingly dangerous, and it was closed to the public in 1978. In 1993, after two years of restoration work, the bridge reopened. The new version is made of local sawara and hinoki, with inlaid bongoshi, an African hardwood, where the iron rails once ran. From the central pier, a flight of magnificent steps leads down to a sandbar, where there is a small shrine to the river god. The pier closest to the right-hand bank looking downstream was once inscribed with the name of the Daido Electric Power Company, which built the bridge, and the date of completion—September, Taisho 11 (1922).
Steam locomotive C12 No. 199
The steam locomotive C12 No. 199 is a steam locomotive displayed next to the Chuo Main Line in Narai, Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture.
Manufactured in 1938, after being assigned to Niigata, Yamagata and Iiyama, it was finally used as a locomotive for replacement in Kisofukushima.
It was scrapped in 1974 and displayed statically at the Narai Community Center in Narakawa Village, Nagano Prefecture.
After that, I moved to the Narai-juku sightseeing parking lot.
Built in 1905-1907, the Beaux Arts-style Cleveland Trust Company Building was designed by George B. Post as one of his last commissions prior to his death in 1913, stands at the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 9th Street in Downtown Cleveland. At the time of its completion, the building was the third-largest Bank Building in the United States, and was the largest bank building in Cleveland, and the first building built in the city for sole occupancy by a bank. The building was constructed for the Cleveland Trust Company, founded in 1894, which merged with the Western Reserve Trust Company in 1903, and subsequently outgrew its original offices. The bank continued to grow throughout the early-to-mid-20th Century, merging with various other banks around Cleveland, and being one of the first banks in Northeast Ohio to have branch locations. The historic Cleveland Trust Building is clad in white granite with a rusticated base featuring large arched bays with keystones and bronze doors and window frames, with corinthian porticoes at the central bays of the west and north facades along the two street frontages, which are topped by pediments featuring decorative friezes, with ornate sculptural reliefs, a small two-column portico at the building’s chamfered corner facing the intersection of the two streets, windows on the second and third floors featuring recessed metal spandrel panels, a cornice with modillions and dentils, a balustrade on the parapet, and a drum and dome atop the roof over the interior rotunda. The nearly excessive ornateness and quantity of the decorative sculptural reliefs, ornament, and friezes on the exterior facade, when compounded with George B. Post’s Beaux Arts background and design philosophy, places the building into the Beaux Arts style of architecture, despite having many similarities to the Renaissance Revival and Classical Revival styles, which have been attributed to the building by architects and architectural historians in the past. Inside, the building features a four-story rotunda below a large stained glass dome, crafted by the famous Nicola D'Ascenzo, with several murals, known collectively as "The Development of Civilization in America,” which ring the top of the third floor balcony. The murals, dome, columns, arches, cornice, and stone floor of the four-story banking hall remain intact, gracing one of the most impressive rotundas in the state of Ohio, and one of the most impressive rotundas of any building designed by Post, comparable to the scale and details to another late Post design, the Wisconsin State Capitol, with the Cleveland Trust Company Building being one of his best-preserved commissions. The rest of the interior was altered in the 1970s, but has been partially restored, including original staircases, elevator screens, and balcony railings, though other areas of the interior, including ceilings and offices in areas outside the rotunda, were heavily altered during the renovation, and were not restored during the most recent round of renovations.
In 1908-1910, the 13-story Swetland Building was built to the east along Euclid Avenue, and was designed by Searles, Hirsh & Gavin in the Classical Revival and Chicago School style. Complimenting its earlier neighbor, the taller structure is simpler in appearance, with a buff brick and terra cotta facade, three-over-three and one-over-one double-hung windows, a similar cornice featuring modillions and dentils, a terra cotta-clad base with Chicago windows and large street-level openings, and light wells on the east and west facades. In 1919, a tower was proposed to be built atop the structure, but was never constructed, which helped to preserve the building's original appearance and configuration until the 1970s, and prevented the loss of the grand stained glass dome and rotunda, which would have been heavily altered or removed to accommodate the structure for the additional floors. In 1968-1971, the Marcel Breuer-designed 29-story Brutalist building, known as the Cleveland Trust Tower, was constructed immediately to the south of the original building along East 9th Street. When it was completed, it towered over the original structure, dwarfing it with its massive scale, and featured a facade clad in dark concrete panels, with a grid of concrete-framed punched window openings on the upper floors, and relatively simple, unadorned facades at the top and bottom of the structure, with wide and tall openings on the ground floor. During the next two years, the original building was renovated and heavily altered on the interior in response to the addition of the new office tower, leaving only its most significant features intact. A second wing of the tower was planned at one point to mirror the constructed tower, but wrapping the east side of the original Cleveland Trust building, which would have led to the demolition of the Swetland Building. However, these plans were never carried out, in large part due to the economic and demographic decline of Northeast Ohio that began during the 1970s.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The building remained in use by the Cleveland Trust Company until 1991, when the Cleveland Trust Company merged with Society National Bank. This was followed by an acquisition by Key Bank in 1993, which no longer needed the structure for banking purposes, and the final offices moved out in 1996, with all operations moved to the Key Tower. The building was largely empty and closed to the public until 2005, when it was purchased by Cuyahoga County, which intended to convert the complex into a new government center, a plan which was never realized. The county government then sold the complex in 2012, and the developer has transformed the Cleveland Trust Company Building into a Heinen's Supermarket, a local chain, with offices on the upper floors. The adjacent Swetland Building also became home to part of the supermarket, with market-rate apartments on the upper floors, while the Breuer-designed Cleveland Trust Tower was converted into a hotel and apartments. Now a thriving center of activity, the complex, now known as The 9 Cleveland, is one of the many bright spots of the revitalized and vibrant Downtown Cleveland.
