Coffee tables feature clean lines, minimalist forms, and a blend of materials such as wood, glass, and metal, creating a sophisticated yet practical centerpiece for the living room. Designers prioritize multi-functional elements, incorporating storage solutions like built-in shelves, drawers, or hidden compartments to maximize utility without sacrificing style.

Additional Features

Things the Biden-Harris Administration Did This Week #38

Oct 11-18 2024

President Biden announced that this Administration had forgiven the student loan debt of 1 million public sector workers. The cancellation of the student loan debts of 60,000 teachers, firefighters, EMTs, nurses and other public sector workers brings the total number of people who's debts have been erased by the Biden-Harris Administration using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness to 1 million. the PSLF was passed in 2007 but before President Biden took office only 7,000 people had ever had their debts forgiven through it. The Biden-Harris team have through different programs managed to bring debt relief to 5 million Americans and counting despite on going legal fights against Republican state Attorneys General.

The Federal Trade Commission finalizes its "one-click to cancel" rule. The new rule requires businesses to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it was to sign up for it. It also requires more up front information to be shared before offering billing information.

The Department of Transportation announced that since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration there are 1.7 million more construction and manufacturing jobs and 700,000 more jobs in the transportation sector. There are now 400,000 more union workers than in 2021. 60,000 Infrastructure projects across the nation have been funded by the Biden-Harris Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Under this Administration 16 million jobs have been added, including 1.7 construction and manufacturing jobs, construction employment is the highest ever recorded since records started in 1939. 172,000 manufacturing jobs were lost during the Trump administration.

The Department of Energy announced $2 billion to protect the U.S. power grid against growing threats of extreme weather. This money will go to 38 projects across 42 states and Washington DC. It'll upgrade nearly 1,000 miles worth of transmission lines. The upgrades will allow 7.5 gigawatts of new grid capacity while also generating new union jobs across the country.

The EPA announced $125 million to help upgrade older diesel engines to low or zero-emission solutions. The EPA has selected 70 projects to use the funds on. They range from replacing school buses, to port equipment, to construction equipment. More than half of the selected projects will be replacing equipment with zero-emissions, such as all electric school buses.

The Department of The Interior and State of California broke ground on the Salton Sea Species Conservation Habitat Project. The Salton Sea is California's largest lake at over 300 miles of Surface area. An earlier project worked to conserve and restore shallow water habitats in over 4,000 acres on the southern end of the lake, this week over 700 acres were added bring the total to 5,000 acres of protected land. The Biden-Harris Administration is investing $250 million in the project along side California's $500 million. Part of the Administration's effort to restore wild life habitat and protect water resources.

The Department of Energy announced $900 Million in investment in next generation nuclear power. The money will help the development of Generation III+ Light-Water Small Modular Reactors, smaller lighter reactors which in theory should be easier to deploy. DoE estimates the U.S. will need approximately 700-900 GW of additional clean, firm power generation capacity to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Currently half of America's clean energy comes from nuclear power, so lengthening the life space of current nuclear reactors and exploring the next generation is key to fighting climate change.

The federal government took two big steps to increase the rights of Alaska natives. The Departments of The Interior and Agricultural finalized an agreement to strengthen Alaska Tribal representation on the Federal Subsistence Board. The FSB oversees fish and wildlife resources for subsistence purposes on federal lands and waters in Alaska. The changes add 3 new members to the board appointed by the Alaska Native Tribes, as well as requiring the board's chair to have experience with Alaska rural subsistence. The Department of The Interior also signed 3 landmark co-stewardship agreements with Alaska Native Tribes.

The Department of Energy announced $860 million to help support solar energy in Puerto Rico. The project will remove 2.7 million tons of CO2 per year, or about the same as taking 533,000 cars off the road. It serves as an important step on the path to getting Puerto Rico to 100% renewable by 2050.

The Department of the Interior announced a major step forward in geothermal energy on public lands. The DoI announced it had approved the Fervo Cape Geothermal Power Project in Beaver County, Utah. When finished it'll generate 2 gigawatts of power, enough for 2 million homes. The BLM has now green lit 32 gigawatts of clean energy projects on public lands. A major step toward the Biden-Harris Administration's goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.

PANELLO - GOLD

Transforming Spaces: The Versatility of Slat Wall Panels, MDF Panels, and Wall Profiles

In contemporary interior design, versatility and functionality are key. This is where innovative materials like slat wall panels, MDF panels, and wall profiles come into play. These elements not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space but also offer practical solutions for organization and customization.

Slat Wall Panels: A Modern Solution for Display and Storage

Slat wall panels are an excellent choice for both residential and commercial spaces. Their design consists of horizontal slats mounted on a wall, which allows for the easy attachment of various accessories such as shelves, hooks, and baskets. This modular approach provides a customizable storage solution that can be adapted to fit different needs. Retailers and homeowners alike appreciate slat wall panels for their ability to create organized, visually appealing displays. They are particularly popular in retail environments for showcasing products, but their use is expanding into home decor, garages, and office spaces.

MDF Panels: A Blend of Functionality and Elegance

Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) panels are a staple in modern interior design due to their versatility and smooth finish. Made from wood fibers and resin, MDF panels are engineered to provide a stable, durable surface that can be easily cut, shaped, and painted. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, from cabinetry and wall panels to intricate moldings and custom furniture. Their smooth texture allows for a high-quality finish, making MDF panels a preferred choice for projects that demand a polished look.

Wall Profiles: Enhancing Architectural Elements

Wall profiles are essential for adding finishing touches and architectural details to a space. These profiles come in various shapes and sizes, including cornices, architraves, and skirting boards. They serve both decorative and functional purposes, framing windows and doors, covering joints between walls and ceilings, and adding character to otherwise plain surfaces. Wall profiles can be made from materials like MDF, polyurethane, or plaster, each offering unique benefits in terms of durability and ease of installation.

Conclusion: Combining Style and Function

Incorporating slat wall panels, MDF panels, and wall profiles into your design strategy can significantly elevate the look and functionality of any space. Slat wall panels offer flexible storage and display options, MDF panels provide a versatile and high-quality surface for various applications, and wall profiles add refined details that enhance the overall aesthetic. Together, these elements create a cohesive and stylish environment that meets both practical and design needs.

Whether you're revamping a retail space, updating your home decor, or designing an office, these materials offer numerous possibilities for customization and innovation. Embrace their potential to transform your surroundings with elegance and efficiency.

The Best News of Last Week

1. ‘It was an accident’: the scientists who have turned humid air into renewable power

Greetings, readers! Welcome to our weekly dose of positivity and good vibes. In this edition, I've gathered a collection of uplifting stories that will surely bring a smile to your face. From scientific breakthroughs to environmental initiatives and heartwarming achievements, I've got it all covered.

In May, a team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst published a paper declaring they had successfully generated a small but continuous electric current from humidity in the air. They’ve come a long way since then. The result is a thin grey disc measuring 4cm across.

One of these devices can generate a relatively modest 1.5 volts and 10 milliamps. However, 20,000 of them stacked, could generate 10 kilowatt hours of energy a day – roughly the consumption of an average UK household. Even more impressive: they plan to have a prototype ready for demonstration in 2024.

2. Empty Office Buildings Are Being Turned Into Vertical Farms

Empty office buildings are being repurposed into vertical farms, such as Area 2 Farms in Arlington, Virginia. With the decline in office usage due to the Covid-19 pandemic, municipalities are seeking ways to fill vacant spaces.

Vertical farming systems like Silo and AgriPlay's modular growth systems offer efficient and adaptable solutions for converting office buildings into agricultural spaces. These initiatives not only address food insecurity but also provide economic opportunities, green jobs, and fresh produce to local communities, transforming urban centers in the process.

3. Biden-Harris Administration to Provide 804,000 Borrowers with $39 Billion in Automatic Loan Forgiveness as a Result of Fixes to Income Driven Repayment Plans

The Department of Education in the United States has announced that over 804,000 borrowers will have $39 billion in Federal student loans automatically discharged. This is part of the Biden-Harris Administration's efforts to fix historical failures in the administration of the student loan program and ensure accurate counting of monthly payments towards loan forgiveness.

The Department aims to correct the system and provide borrowers with the forgiveness they deserve, leveling the playing field in higher education. This announcement adds to the Administration's efforts, which have already approved over $116.6 billion in student loan forgiveness for more than 3.4 million borrowers.

4. F.D.A. Approves First U.S. Over-the-Counter Birth Control Pill

The move could significantly expand access to contraception. The pill is expected to be available in early 2024.

The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved a birth control pill to be sold without a prescription for the first time in the United States, a milestone that could significantly expand access to contraception. The medication, called Opill, will become the most effective birth control method available over the counter

5. AIDS can be ended by 2030 with investments in prevention and treatment, UN says

It is possible to end AIDS by 2030 if countries demonstrate the political will to invest in prevention and treatment and adopt non-discriminatory laws, the United Nations said on Thursday.

In 2022, an estimated 39 million people around the world were living with HIV, according to UNAIDS, the United Nations AIDS program. HIV can progress to AIDS if left untreated.

6. Conjoined twins released from Texas Children’s Hospital after successfully separated in complex surgery

Conjoined twins are finally going home after the pair was safely separated during a complex surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital in June.

Ella Grace and Eliza Faith Fuller were in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for over four months after their birth on March 1. A large team of healthcare workers took six hours to complete the surgery on June 14. Seven surgeons, four anesthesiologists, four surgical nurses and two surgical technicians assisted with the procedure.

7. From villains to valued: Canadians show overwhelming support for wolves

Despite their record in popular culture, according to a recent survey, seven in 10 Canadians say they have a “very positive” view of the iconic predators. 

Here's a fascinating video about how wolves changed Yellowstone nat'l park:

Can we get a lab tour?

So I have a long term study going on, meaning that volunteer privacy is currently a concern...

But since the renovation, there's a lab with modular walls that lets me configure it in the event I need to do an exam on what was once the main killing floor of the facility; there's two wings that have been converted into volunteer housing, with private rooms alongside some amenities like showers and VHS libraries so folks aren't bored during the long stay... and upstairs the warehouse office remains an office. There's filing cabinets and a kitchenette and some stuff under lock and key - and a coupla day beds in the event I wind up working into the small hours of morning.

Ghoul's got his own corner of the office and lab space for his own projects, but the wings are mine.

How Lockers are Related to Office Cabinets

Their shared functionality and overlapping features make them integral to efficient office organization. Here’s how they are related: Shared Purpose: Storage and OrganizationBoth lockers and office cabinets are designed to provide secure storage…

Friend, you might want to start telling me about the chapter length and speed, please. Also, while I do have a plan for this, this one keeps throwing me for interesting loops, so... No idea if the next chapter won't. If it doesn't, then the plan is solid. But we'll see. Not being sure is what drafts are for, I suppose.

That said, I'm setting my bets on 8 chapters as of now. Not sure at what speed - this was the only day in the near future when I got to sit and write for most of it. But I think it's 8, anyway.

Chapter 4

The captain allocated a temporary room to this Friend while it thought over its options. Initially it was given standard crew quarters, but they were not properly feed-enabled. It requested a space with feed access to be able to pull up additional data. The ship's logistics officer added a bed to a workroom with a terminal, and then the crew left this Friend unsupervised--save, of course, for the ship.

It could feel her presence, watchful but silent. Two could play that game, starship, it thought, and opened the terminal. It needed to see what it had to work with.

The Trellian terminal had no way to connect directly with its implants, but this Friend had always been adept with machines and their logics. The architecture here was certainly different than what it was used to, but it was still far more normal than Dandelion's feed. This Friend could see her being connected into the same systems--a large, looming presence, yet nowhere near so overwhelming as when she and it were connected directly.

It supposed it could also tap Dandelion's feed and reach the Trellians' system this way, but it would take being slow and clumsy right now. As it was, Dandelion was shadowing this Friend's inputs. It had no illusions of remaining unobserved. But at least she would be out of its thoughts.

It pushed on into the system.

There was very little proper security as it expected it. Even with guest access it could see far more than it should have. Personal work stations were cut off by flimsy-looking permissions. It supposed it understood why. All of the critical systems were wired into Dandelion herself. It would not be trying for those; Dandelion would have raised the alarm faster than it could conceivably do anything.

No. It was hopelessly outmatched there.

But there was open data, and among the data were maps. And the maps told it a lot.

The ship had many blind spots. Primarily crew quarters, and most of them not at critical junctures, but there were enough that it could reach critical systems from several points, if only it had its armor back. If worst came to worst, it probably could damage the ship even without it. Not scuttle it entirely, not until it knew where its heart was, or if there were only one heart in the first place. As it was, the ship looked unpleasantly modular. But it had one guiding intelligence, and one that had been human besides.

There had to be one heart.

This Friend took its best guess as to where it was located. Three possible locations. It consigned them to organic memory, and then, in its data banks, replaced the calculations with a general familiarization with the ship. Then it continued browsing.

Ah. There was no access to navigation systems. But there were navigation logs, which one could request access to.

Time to push it, this Friend thought, and requested access.

It was granted.

This Friend read, feeling its heart skip beats.

Little wonder it did not know Trellin. By normal ship speeds it was system-years of wormhole jumps away. The opposite side of the Rim. Failed colony side, as it was colloquially known.

But Dandelion Tenacious was not only self-sufficient and equipped for years of travel, as it had seen on the maps. She was fast. Impossibly so. Trips that took other ships dozens of cycles took it a scant few.

Bile rose in this Friend's throat. If it had this speed, it could have-.

She had to have been faking these logs.

Why would she let this Friend see them otherwise. This was not something one showed to outsiders, this was not-.

It had to have answers.

The ship responded readily to the tap.

Has the Friend considered its questions?

It has. Why did you show this Friend your logs?

Because I wish to extend an invitation. Dandelion said impassively. And if the Friend were to accept it, it would find out with the very first jump we made.

An invitation.

Yes. Leave Preservation Station with us. We will get the Friend to wherever it needs to go on our way home, provided it can pilot one of our shuttles so we can stay out of contact.

This Friend stared into the ocean. Its dark waves were still; its depths impenetrable. It felt small upon these shores; a sand-castle built with an unsteady hand. But one did not become a friend without learning to stand in the way of something far greater than itself.

You are willing to go to great lengths for this Friend.

I am.

You were willing to kill for this Friend.

I am.

That is unacceptable.

It is. There. A ripple. For a Friend. Another. I am not one. Another.

You are right, Dandelion Tenacious of Trellin. You are not a Friend. Watch the interference on the waves. See where it leads. And you should stop pretending to be one.

Not ripples anymore. Waves, crashing against each other. Not touching the little sand-castle on the shore.

I am well aware that I am no Friend.

Are you? You use the right words, the words no one else should know. You tried to protect this Friend out of some sort of misguided sense of duty. You even tried to conceal the information which you had revealed in the first place. This Friend does not know who you think you are, Dandelion Tenacious of Trellin, but you style yourself a Friend. And the Public Universal Friends do not need your pity. Nor do they need your help.

The waves raged around the little sand-castle, standing bare and safe against them. And then this Friend saw it, saw where the waves intersected; knew that it had the missing point of triangulation.

It shut off the connection and the ship did not stop it. Nor did it reattempt to open the channel.

This Friend was shaking. It had what it needed. Preservation Station would take in people without a ship. They would be stranded, yes, but not dead. And the Friends' secret would be safe. One life against many. This Dandelion had made a choice. Now this Friend would make another.

It got up, unsteadily. It wished it had its armor. But this would have to do.

Its implants crackled, as if with static. Not pain; its presentiment. But the more it moved, the more the sensation developed. It tried for the door, but pain shot through its nerves.

Was it still in the feed? How? It disconnected. The pain stayed. Another connection blossomed, sharp, narrow and precise.

Wow. An angry voice drawled in its head. Some truth to the old adage about not keeping your computers in your head, isn't there? Listen closely, Friend. You can shout at Dandelion all you like. That's between you and her. But I promise you: take one step out of that room right now, and I. Will. Fucking. Ice. You.

WIP: Cubic Dynamics Kitbash Series

Published: 3-4-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY Cubic Dynamics by John B. Cube and Marcel Dusims forged the future with furnishings that were minimalist in design and maximalist in erudite pretension. Generations later, the company continues to produce edge-of-cutting-edge designs. Cubic Dynamics Kitbash (Simmons, 2023-2024) will be a series of 80+ objects for offices, corporate, exhibitions, and business spaces. This collection works as an add-on to the Cubic Dynamics store set (EA/Maxis; archived at Garden of Shadows, 2016; 2015) and comes with multiple color options. This set is designed for kitbashing/modular builds and uses the repository technique (more info/resources HERE) and merged files for your convenience. DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. Most of the objects, including all required meshes, are 1-2 tiles and low-poly (less than 1000). There will be 15+ semi-high poly objects included (between 1100-2800 poly) but these won’t be required if you want to discard those from your saves. Offices shouldn’t just be pleasing to look at – there will be functional CC too! PREVIEW SHOTS

Mix and recolor items to create attractive reception, lobby, and entrance areas. The neon metal detectors are deco lights and the burglar alarm on the ceiling is functional/fully animated.

Seen above: I combined items to make a gift shop and customer service center.

Create cubicles, workstations, study rooms, and so much more!

Set up rooms for team meetings, crafting, hobbies, co-working, and other group activities. As you can see, the overall design is consistent with my taste for retro-futurist looks.

Why not whip up a few executives offices, corporate suites, conference rooms, and press auditoriums? Let your high-ranking office heads flex a lil' bit. TEST LOT I’m considering putting the test lot up for download. If that happens, you’ll likely need to download the entire series as well as 3-4 other sets on this site. On the other hand, I may strip the lot down to just items from this set and maxis defaults.

“LIVE” PREVIEW FOOTAGE @chocolatecitysim has been graciously testing the lot/items in her game for several months now, using it for her city’s government business. See live preview footage of this series in her Sims 2 Sunday Streams (via Twitch) HERE. CREDITS Thanks: @chocolatecitysim and @ranabluu for testing items in-game.
