The famous Replicator avatar of Grendel's Children. I did not use one in its entirety but assembled the elements of several of them around Alpha; since in their original state these avatars diverge too far from the human and would probably fall outside the Uncanny Valley's threshold.
I have replaced the "Drow" skin with the "Forge" skin designed by Vry Offcourse. This is not really a "nude" skin in that it covers the entire body with metal plates... I think this skin does actually bring Alpha closer into the threshold range.
Portland's "Intersection Repair" is community building that can be replicated in other cities. From home in Victoria here's some thoughts on observations and the lessons learned.
Intersection Repair is a grass roots neighbourhood organization that pushed the city administration by taking ownership of residential street intersections where residents had grievances against volume and speed of traffic on their streets. It's a common problem in any city.
Roads have been painted with fantastic murals at numbers of intersections (and care must be taken to limit them to already low volume and low speed routes - arterials or busy collectors are not good candidates for this treatment for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the durability and cost of paint). Our issues include the type and colour of the paint, noting concerns about standards and traction for cyclists - how many more challenges can we find!
Community sharing services like a book exchange, coffee tables and cob benches sprinkle the corners to invite people out into the boulevards and streets, creating activity in the informal squares or plazas that the painted intersection is a focal point for.
Boulevards are cultivated or run riot with flowers and purposeful native plantings, creating more interest and potential habitat (fruit in particular must be well tended to keep streets and sidewalks clean (for cyclists, pedestrians and people with mobility challenges), and innoculated against rodents, raccoons - at home in Victoria it's the deer too).
Staff in Portland tell me that the projects don't slow traffic and even invite some new drivers into the neighbourhood; looky-loos and people browsing the book exchange. They do nevertheless, my contact admitted, help build community; and speaking to residents on the street, they were certainly proud and protective of what they had achieved.
I can speak a little more freely now as a citizen of Victoria, rather than as a councillor. Drifting back into some of my more traditional roles of advocate and critic, here's some of the ideas I'll bring to the discussion as we move forward on community design in Victoria.
A few locations around our city have the makings of a holistic model of reclaiming the streets, some more permanent and a few unregulated as well.
Some of the thoughts I brought to the discussion go back to my work as an advocate for cycling and walking, and working with community members who first connected with the intersection repair movement in Portland and brought them to Victoria to introduce the concept.
Council sent a boulevard review mandate to parks staff, knowing as we did, that the city's boulevard management system was fragmented and unresponsive to the aspirations of communities. The process is ongoing and certainly garden uses are being contemplated. Homegrown examples have the good, the bad and the problematic (how far do you go when neighbours want to "reclaim" remnant boulevards or greenspaces around an electically designed city? Tthe mayor had some very good cautions - if one neighbour is allowed to expropriate the space for gardens is the other also allowed to use it as a squat for an extra car, a boat or RV?
Campaigns are often short on details and taking on other candidates is risky business. At council, compromise or even consensus is always the best way to move forward and most often that is how it has worked (the resistance of the electorate to organized slates is a frustratingly at odds with a desire to see moderate governance and teamwork on council.
The most problematic voice on council and the new one runs similar risks, is that which is so independent or uncompromising as to block useful, if incremental progress on policies, issues or projects.
Too the issue illustrated, there was only some modest evidence of this in discussions of boulevards, but the broader intersection design issues will certainly have a tendency to strain relations, perhaps more so on the new council, where points of departure may be more sharp.
Community oriented councillors may be chomping at the bit to take on the mundane obstructions of partical engineeering and management of roads and greenspaces. They will find the issues and the challenges are grounded in sound governance rather than a lack of commitment to community engagement and empowerment. They may well have to climb down from some of their campaign rhetoric and need to be challenged, as the last council was, on those disconnects between their promises and practical realiies that turn them into defenders of their new status quo.
One particular irony will need to be supported in the evolution of the city's boulevard review. The review should carry on, and will of its own momentum, and hopefully too some community and council interest.
The last council included a voice of undue haste in advancing the food production potential of boulevards to the point of dismissing the labour and revenue implications of weaning the city off of $600,000 in taxed boulevards revenue and numbers of good city jobs.
My first reaction (and I'll defend my record and values ad infinitum I guess), was to ensure consideration of the labour implications of cuts to the program, not to mention the revenue implications, of turning over boulevards to community management. The objective may be sound, but rushing change is often not the best approach, and I was taken aback by the councillor's lack of interest in the jobs at risk.
Nobody was paying much attention to the candidate's record on labour issues during council's tenure, other than a few high profile issue campaigns, and to my frustration, (and constrained to the impotence of self-serving personal criticism), the candidate nevertheless earned the endorsement of labour and the misguided, in my opinion, support of many in our politically progressive community.
It will be useful to challenge the new council, and keep watch on how they perform on this and many other issues. Labour still has good strong voices on council, though they were less enthused with our record on some issues. New voices may well be less sympathetic and the routine protection of the interests of the city's workforce less certain.
During my tenure and through the course of my camapigns, I have both supported and been supported by labour interests - we do share values. More friciton was evident in waste management service reviews, but at this, through other projects (first arguing for apprenticeships, local hiring and first nations participation in the Johnson St. Bridge project), and of course with the boulevard review, I was careful to insist that labour impacts be considered, measured, and negotiated.
Portland's Intersection Repair is, I hope, the first of many random thoughts I'll put out into the public realm as I try and retool my career, picking up a few threads in cycling and walking again, but so many other issues too.
Here's where that may take you, at least from this picture, around my Victoria.
It replicates the cool moist conditions found in tropical mountain regions between 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level, found in South-East Asia, Middle- and South America. It features a 42-metre (138 ft) "Cloud Mountain", accessible by an elevator, and visitors will be able to descend the mountain via a circular path where a 35-metre (115 ft) waterfall provides visitors with refreshing cool air.

HEARING DOGS FOR DEAF PEOPLE
Photograph taken by Ed Miller
This scene is replicated every morning in the Nicholson household when Poppy Nicholson, who has severe hearing loss, is woken by the special pawing of best friend, hearing dog Maddy.
Poppy and Maddy, a cockapoodle, are part of an innovative pilot ‘team hearing dog’ scheme which the Charity initiated two years ago, placing uniquely trained dogs with deaf children living within hearing families. Initially funded by Children In Need, the scheme is now being developed mainly with the support of legacy gifts – to great effect. Maddy is comforting, reassuring and there to hear for Poppy. She alerts the youngster to the alarms, calls and messages of everyday life. Hearing Dogs for Deaf People has been providing our specially trained dogs to deaf adults and now children for nearly thirty years, transforming lives by giving our recipients companionship and security, as well as increased confidence and independence.

Replicating one of Da Vinci’s arched bridge designs from a pile of notched logs. Da Vinci created these designs for the Duke of Milan, Ludovico ‘Il Moro’ to facilitate rapid troop movements across rivers while carrying out surprise attacks. It took us four attempts to get the structure stable enough to bear our weight and one wonders how easy it would have been to build these bridges without access to both sides of the river or under a hail of arrows or flaming shot!
The rate of viral replication in productively infected CD4 cells is extremely high (one billion viral particles are produced every day). The immune system attempts to control the infection by producing vast numbers of cells, such as T helper cells. The battle between the viral infection and the cells of the immune system continues throughout the course of the infection. Eventually the virus' ability to damage the immune system exceeds the body's capacity to fight HIV.

... and I covered what would've taken me months on the CupCake.
Honestly, all of these prints succeeded (except maybe the pi case in the back) on the first try. And I didn't have to watch the thing like a hawk. One after another without any tweaking or adjusting, print, print, print.
Prying off the prints without rafts is a challenge, though.
[Update] I'm referring to the original (wooden) Replicator and not the newer (metal) Replicator 2. Also, using an old hotel-room-key-card like a spatula is veyr helpful for getting the prints off the platform (assuming you can start some corner with a fingernail). Oh, and don't let that key get too warm... it will melt, and I think it may even then coat your platform with a nice slippery layer you don't want.

Reconstructed Earthworks replicating what the Lost Colony's fort would have looked like.
Located of Roanoke Island in North Carolina, the Roanoke Colony, or Lost Colony as it is also referred, was an early attempt to start an English settlement in North America. In 1587, Governor John White left 115 colonists at a hastily built settlement on Roanoke Island and returned to England for more supplies. When he returned three years later, the town was dismantled and there was no trace of any of the colonists. To this day, no one is quite sure what became of the "Lost Colony".
Today, a section of Roanoke Island has been set aside as Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, in the approximate location of the Lost Colony.

Now the fun/ dangerous part – softening the PVC. Please note that we’re trying to SOFTEN the PVC, NOT MELT, and CERTAINLY NOT BURN the PVC. Burning PVC releases TOXIC CHEMICALS so please don’t blame/ sue me if you get cancer from trying to replicate what I did. Also, you’ll notice that I’m doing this outside, where there’s plenty of ventilation. Be Safe.
I use a dual temp heat gun to heat the PVC enough to soften it. The low setting seems to be hot enough to soften the PVC without a lot of danger of burning. However, the high setting is much faster, so I often use that. You’ll notice the parts of the project where I burned the PVC. My bad.
