#it’s on a building that’s part residential part construction company

[observethewalrus]

well that’s the second swastika someone’s graffitied on my street. It wasn’t there this morning, someone really did that shit in broad daylight

I really like this apartment, plus I don’t know if I’ll be financially able to move next summer when the lease is up, so I might have to renew again for another year. But I really don’t wanna be here right now.

On top of that a bunch of old people with nothing else to do have been outside banging on buckets for months now protesting a homeless shelter that’s being built in the neighborhood. I wasn’t able to hear it from my house until recently, but I’ve been home all weekend trying to study and all I can hear is banging. I called 311 on Saturday and they stopped for a while, but now they’re back

China revealed this week it aims to spend more than a billion dollars to bolster manufacturing and domestic tech in a bid to remain globally competitive, while divulging little new support for the struggling real estate market.

Industrial support clearly ranked first on Beijing’s priority list for the year ahead, according to three major plans released this week as part of China’s annual parliamentary meetings.

One of those reports, from the Ministry of Finance, said the central government would allocate 10.4 billion yuan ($1.45 billion) “to rebuild industrial foundations and promote high-quality development of the manufacturing sector.”

While that’s down from the 13.3 billion yuan earmarked for the same category last year, the sector overall gained greater prominence. In 2023, plans to spend on industrial development came second to support for consumption.

“Unlike other economies that went through a wrenching adjustment in their housing market, China’s investment rate isn’t falling,” HSBC’s chief Asia economist Frederic Neumann and a team said in a report Friday. “Instead, [capital expenditure] is shifting towards infrastructure and, importantly, manufacturing.”[...]

Chinese authorities in 2020 intensified a crackdown on real estate developers’ high reliance on debt for growth. Property sales have since plunged while developers have run out of money to finish many projects, cutting into what was once about 25% of China’s GDP when including related sectors such as construction.[...]

Despite widespread attention on whether Beijing would bail out the property sector, real estate got no mention in the finance ministry’s spending plans, and limited attention in a ministry-level press conference about the economy during the parliamentary meetings. Instead, the housing minister was included in the lineup for a press conference about people’s livelihoods.

“Supporting the modernization of the industrial system” came first in the finance ministry’s report, followed by “supporting the implementation of the strategy of invigorating China through science and education.”

Within that second priority, the finance ministry said it would allocate 31.3 billion yuan for improving vocational education. Amid high youth unemployment, especially for university graduates, electric car company BYD and battery maker CATL are among those working with vocational schools to train staff for their expanding workforce.[...]

The report from the National Development and Reform Commission, the top economic planner, reiterated government plans to support some developers’ financing needs — under the eighth item on the priority list that called for preventing financial risks. The government work report presented by Premier Li Qiang gave real estate a similar level of prominence.

China will improve home sales in a "forceful" and "orderly" way, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Ni Hong said on Saturday (Mar 9), as weak demand in the country's beleaguered residential property market persists.[...]

Some developers should be allowed to go bankrupt or restructured according to legal and market-based rules, Ni said told a press conference on the sidelines of the annual meeting of parliament in Beijing.

Premier Li Qiang said this week that China will quicken the development of "a new model" for the troubled sector, focussing on building more affordable housing and meeting demand for homes.

But China will insist that "housing is for living in, not for speculation" when formulating a new development model for the sector, Ni said, reiterating an official line against property speculation.

ATLANTA (AP) — A new reactor at a nuclear power plant in Georgia has entered commercial operation, becoming the first new American reactor built from scratch in decades.

Georgia Power Co. announced Monday that Unit 3 at Plant Vogtle, southeast of Augusta, has completed testing and is now sending power to the grid reliably.

At its full output of 1,100 megawatts of electricity, Unit 3 can power 500,000 homes and businesses. Utilities in Georgia, Florida and Alabama are receiving the electricity.

Nuclear power now makes up about 25% of the generation of Georgia Power, the largest unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co.

A fourth reactor is also nearing completion at the site, where two earlier reactors have been generating electricity for decades. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Friday said radioactive fuel could be loaded into Unit 4, a step expected to take place before the end of September. Unit 4 is scheduled to enter commercial operation by March.

The third and fourth reactors were originally supposed to cost $14 billion, but are now on track to cost their owners $31 billion. That doesn’t include $3.7 billion that original contractor Westinghouse paid to the owners to walk away from the project. That brings total spending to almost $35 billion.

The third and fourth reactors were originally supposed to cost $14 billion, but are now on track to cost their owners $31 billion. That doesn’t include $3.7 billion that original contractor Westinghouse paid to the owners to walk away from the project. That brings total spending to almost $35 billion.

The third reactor was supposed to start generating power in 2016 when construction began in 2009.

Vogtle is important because government officials and some utilities are again looking to nuclear power to alleviate climate change by generating electricity without burning natural gas, coal and oil.

“This project shows just how new nuclear can and will play a critical role in achieving a clean energy future for the United States,” Southern Co. CEO Chris Womack said in a statement. “Bringing this unit safely into service is a credit to the hard work and dedication of our teams at Southern Company and the thousands of additional workers who have helped build that future at this site.”

In Georgia, almost every electric customer will pay for Vogtle. Georgia Power currently owns 45.7% of the reactors. Smaller shares are owned by Oglethorpe Power Corp., which provides electricity to member-owned cooperatives, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and the city of Dalton. Oglethorpe and MEAG plan to sell power to cooperatives and municipal utilities across Georgia, as well in Jacksonville, Florida, and parts of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

Georgia Power’s 2.7 million customers are already paying part of the financing cost and elected public service commissioners have approved a monthly rate increase of $3.78 a month for residential customers as soon as the third unit begins generating power. That could hit bills in August, two months after residential customers saw a $16-a-month increase to pay for higher fuel costs.

Commissioners will decide later who pays for the remainder of the costs of Vogtle, including the fourth reactor.

Serbia’s Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, Goran Vesic, has signed a contract with Affinity Global Development’s director Asher Abehsera on revitalizing the former Army General Headquarters in Belgrade, demolished by the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999.

Affinity Partners is Jared Kushner, former US president Donald Trump’s son-in-law’s, investment firm. It has $2 billion in funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, among other foreign investors, media have reported.

“We are very excited,” the New York Times reported Kushner as saying in an interview in March about planned projects in Belgrade and Albania. “We have not finalized these deals, so they might not happen, but we have been working hard and are pretty close.”

The former military HQ is in the Belgrade city centre, right across from the gvernment building.

According to the ministry press release, Vesic said the government had leased the premises for 99 years but did not specify at what price.

“The investor has assumed the obligation that, if he does not complete the investment within the period specified in the contract, he will return the land and what will be built until then to the Republic of Serbia without compensation,” Vesic said after signing the deal on Wednesday*.

The press release said the investor will also be obliged to build a memorial complex “dedicated to all the victims of NATO aggression” from 1999 on the plot.

“The memorial complex will be financed by investors and will be owned by the Republic of Serbia, which will decide on the program content of the complex and will manage it,” Vesic said.

The design of the memorial complex will be determined at an international architectural competition.

Abehsera said the project includes a unique aspect of cooperation in which Serbian architects and designers will be invited to submit their ideas for the Memorial Centre.

Kushner previously confirmed plans on X (former Twitter) to invest in this complex as well as in two locations on the Albanian coast. The samer New York Times report in March said that Kushner been working on the Balkan deals with Richard Grenell, who served briefly as acting director of national intelligence under Trump and also ambassador to Germany and special envoy to the Balkans.

According to the NYT, the investment in Belgrade will be a luxury hotel and 1,500 residential units and a museum. It also reported that Trump himself had showed interest in working with this complex in 2013, but Kushner claimed he did not know about this.

The former Yugoslav army HQ was severely damaged in two 1999 NATO air attacks, beween April 29 and 30 and between May 7 and 8. Part of the premises were demolished between 2014 and 2017 for security reasons.

Information that a US company will take over the demolished HQ was first revealed by the Serbian opposition in March, drawing criticism because of suspicions of corruption but also because of the damaged HQ’s architectural and cultural value. It was claimed that the land on which the HQ lies was being leased free of charge.

The building was constructed in 1965 and designed by the famous Serbian architect Nikola Dobrovic.

Veer Towers, NV

Veer Towers are twin 37-story condominium towers within the CityCenter complex, located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The inclined buildings were designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects and tilt in opposite directions at a five-degree angle. Veer Towers opened on July 15, 2010, and is the only all-residential property at CityCenter. The property includes 670 units, divided between the two towers.

Veer Towers was announced in October 2006, as part of the CityCenter project by MGM Mirage. Perini Building Company served as the project's general contractor. The 37-story towers rise 480 ft (150 m), and tilt in opposite directions at a five-degree angle. Both towers use a parallelogram-shaped footprint.

Rebar errors were discovered in the towers during construction. By 2009, the issue had been remedied by wrapping fiberglass jackets around the columns. Veer Towers was originally meant to open with the rest of CityCenter in December 2009. Completion of the towers was delayed, however, opening instead on July 15, 2010.

Veer Towers was designed by Helmut Jahn and his design firm, Murphy/Jahn Architects. Lobbies and public spaces were designed by Francisco Gonzalez Pulido, an architect at Jahn's firm. The lobby design includes metal and exposed concrete walls. The lobby walls of both towers feature mud drawings, titled Circle of Chance and Earth, by artist Richard Long. He diluted mud that he brought to Las Vegas from the River Avon in England, and applied it to the walls with his hands. The corners of each tower are lit in subtle neon by an LED system, programmed by lighting designer Yann Kersalé.

Because of its environmentally friendly design, Veer Towers received a LEED Gold certification on November 20, 2009. The tower design includes yellow paneling on the glass exterior to reflect sunlight and reduce energy cost.

Veer Towers is the only component of CityCenter that is dedicated solely to residential space. It has a total of 670 units, with 335 in each tower. Units range from 500 to 3,300 square feet (46 to 307 m2). Upon opening, condominium owners had the option of renting out their units.

In Brazil, a nature reserve near Rio de Janeiro is being threatened by a tourist resort

Overflown by butterflies, scrub vegetation thrives on this eight-kilometre-long unspoilt beach nestled between the sea and the lagoon. The restinga of Maricá, just over an hour’s drive from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, is a habitat with unique biodiversity – already described by Charles Darwin in the 19th century in the notebooks of his voyage to the Americas. On 6 April 2023, the soundtrack to this heavenly setting began to crackle. For over a month, the usual sound of rolling waves was accompanied by the to-and-fro of construction machinery along the coastal path. A luxury resort, designed by the Spanish company IDB Brazil, could be erected there by 2026.

The master plan for ‘Maraey’ not only includes hotels and residential buildings, but also a shopping complex, a conference centre, an equestrian club, an aquarium and a golf course. According to the estimates of the Maricá Restinga Researchers’ Forum, the development could draw up to 300,000 visitors a year, or as many as 8,000 cars a day.

While the advertising boards planted in the middle of the dunes promote it as “the best sustainable tourist and residential destination in the Americas”, many researchers and environmental associations, whose conservation campaign began some 15 years ago, are warning of the threat to local biodiversity.

The site is part of the Mata Atlântica or Atlantic Forest, a tropical rainforest declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO, stretching from the Brazilian coast to northern Argentina. It is one of Brazil’s most extensively studied restingas (the term used to describe this type of sandbar covered in vegetation influenced by the marine environment). “It is one of the rare remnants of this ecosystem associated with the Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro,” explains Anderson dos Santos Portugal, a biologist and professor at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ).

Tudor City is an apartment complex located on the southern edge of Turtle Bay, on the East Side of Manhattan in New York City, near Turtle Bay's border with Murray Hill. Designed and developed by the Fred F. French Company, it lies on a low cliff, which is east of Second Avenue between 40th and 43rd Streets and overlooks First Avenue. Construction commenced in 1926, making it the first residential skyscraper complex in the world. Tudor City was one of the first, largest, and most important examples of a planned middle-class residential community in New York City. It is named for its Tudor Revival architecture. The complex is a New York City designated landmark district and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The 13-building complex consists of 11 housing cooperatives, one rental apartment building, and one short-term hotel; these buildings collectively house 5,000 people. Most of Tudor City's buildings are arranged around 41st and 43rd Streets, which slope upward east of Second Avenue; the eastern ends of the two streets are connected by Tudor City Place, which crosses over 42nd Street. Two parks flank 42nd Street, and there was once an 18-hole miniature golf course in the southern park. The buildings generally contain stone, brick, and terracotta facades, as well as ornate Tudor-style details. The Fred F. French Company advertised Tudor City heavily, erecting large signs on the roofs of two buildings on 42nd Street, which could be seen from blocks away.

Before Tudor City was constructed, tenements and slums dominated the area. Following the development of the nearby Grand Central Terminal and office buildings during the early 20th century, Fred F. French began planning a residential enclave in Midtown Manhattan. French announced plans for Tudor City in December 1925, and the first 12 structures were completed in phases between October 1927 and late 1930. The section of 42nd Street through Tudor City was widened in the 1950s with the construction of the nearby United Nations headquarters. The final building in the complex, 2 Tudor City Place, was finished in 1956, and the French Company sold the Hotel Tudor in 1963. Harry Helmsley bought most of the remaining buildings in 1970 and resold them in 1984 to Philip Pilevsky and Francis J. Greenburger, who converted most of these structures to co-op apartments.

The complex contains 12 apartment buildings, named Prospect Tower, Tudor Tower, Windsor Tower, Woodstock Tower, Hatfield House, the Manor, the Hermitage, the Cloister, Essex House, Haddon Hall, and Hardwicke Hall; it also includes a hotel, the Hotel Tudor. Woodstock Tower, in the center of the complex, is the tallest tower of the group, and was originally topped by a flèche, a gothic spire. Tudor City's original shops included three restaurants (providing room service for a fee), grocery, liquor, and drug stores, a barber shop, and beauty parlor. Services included a post office, indoor playground, private nursery, maids, laundry and valet service, private guards, garage, a furniture repair and rug cleaning service, and a radio engineer who would repair and connect aerials. Residents published their own magazine, and there were also organizations such as a camera club. The enclave also contained such amenities as an ice-skating rink and tennis courts, in addition to a library, babysitting service, and bowling alley. Prospect Tower and Tudor Tower both contained two rooftop decks, while the Manor contained another roof deck; there was also a water playground for children.

Due to their distinctive architectural style, Tudor City has been heavily featured in television in film. Appearances include The Godfather Part III, Scarface, Taxi Driver, and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy.

Panasonic in HARUMI FLAG, Tokyo, 2020

Harumi Flag, a new urban development project located in the Harumi 5-Chome District, has been launched. This development is touted as one of the legacies of the Tokyo 2020 Games.

This 18-hectare area will hold 5,632 privately-owned and rental apartments in 23 buildings. It will accommodate a total of 12,000 residents by 2024.

Energy Management

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, in partnership with ten private companies, is planning to redevelop the buildings that hosted the Olympic Village of the 2020 Games into an urban town called HARUMI FLAG. The new town will incorporate residential condominiums, child care facilities, and senior housing to accommodate a wide variety of people’s lifestyles and needs.

The town will use hydrogen as its primary power source, though conventional grid-supplied electricity can be used to supplement it. The area will also use solar generation and power storage systems in common-use spaces in 21 high rises that are now under construction.

In addition to providing hydrogen, HARUMI FLAG will also utilize an area energy management system** to monitor and control electricity consumption in each of the town’s residential blocks. Data from each block will be analyzed by the energy management system to lower reliance on conventional grid-supplied power and to help predict peak demand. By using these solutions, HARUMI FLAG will become an innovative model for sustainable development.

Security & Disaster Prevention

HARUMI FLAG is the name of the game in the snazzy new town being developed by a handful of well-heeled developers. This 13.9 hectare urban village will rewrite the rules of urban renewal and make Tokyo a more livable city for all. Panasonic is proud to be a part of this bold initiative that promises a new era in city planning and management.

Aside from the requisite security and surveillance, the real show stoppers are a handful of innovative features and technologies that will leave a lasting impression on visitors of all ages. Among these is the aforementioned 750 network-connected cameras which send pictures and videos to a specialized emergency response center. Other gizmos include a virtual reality experience which will give the residents a sense of what's in store when they move into their new home in 2024. Moreover, the aforementioned technology is matched with a smart phone enabled security system that will notify users via text message and email as soon as a break-in is detected.

Public Area Lighting

HARUMI FLAG is the first town in Japan with a full-scale hydrogen energy infrastructure system that includes a station, pipelines and hydrogen fuel cell generators. A group of private companies, leveraging the expertise and funds of the Tokyo government, is engaged in unified development and operation of this 18-hectare area.

Panasonic is a key player in this project, offering a comprehensive package of urban development solutions including Hydrogen Power Generation, Energy Management and Security & Disaster Prevention. 750 network-connected cameras are also deployed in town areas and common-use spaces to ensure security for residents. Finally, the HARUMI FLAG sales center features a cutting-edge VR (virtual reality) display that demonstrates how to make the most of a small screen in a large space using a high-brightness laser display. It is a highly entertaining experience. It’s also a smart way to get a glimpse of a future town in the making. The technology is a product of the long and close partnership between Panasonic and the Tokyo metropolitan government.

Virtual Reality Experience

Virtual reality (VR) is computer technology that makes you feel like you are in another place. The software produces images, sounds and other sensations to create a world that appears to be real, but it's all a simulation. Check their site to know more details HARUMI FLAG／晴海フラッグ

A VR system typically requires a headset, a computer, and a device that creates a 3D environment. It may also have sensors that can collect stimuli response information and send it back to the VR system to improve the experience.

A number of industries are benefiting from VR technology, including science and medicine, entertainment, education and real estate. A VR system could allow a doctor to practice procedures with virtual patients without putting them at risk, for example, or architects can show detailed plans in 3D before a building is built.

Key Tips on Choosing a Professional Roofing Contractor in Pensacola, FL

Building a roof for industrial purposes is not repetitive work. You can pay attention to its maintenance, but building and doing it correctly is a one-time job. You need the help of professionals with state-of-the-art construction tools who also have a great experience with them. Choose roofing contractors in Pensacola, FL who can follow a well-planned construction routine to complete your site on time. When connected, the above factors authorize the building of long-lived roofs that require minimum maintenance services over time. Many professional industrial roofing service providers ensure their clients are delighted with their roofing solutions. Most would claim that their services are the best but could trick you into getting a lousy job done on your roof. Or others may never be able to give the best results on time, and you end up wasting both time and money. Select A Roofer With A Great Online Reputation. When deciding on a company, take the time to review its reputation. What others say about a company is priceless. You can ask your neighbors or friends for suggestions on who to hire and who to avoid. Also, look at online reviews before you make your decision. Some websites also have helpful information that can aid you in deciding who to hire. Select A Roofer Your Friends And Neighbors Trust. Your friends and neighbors should be one of many bases of information about local roofers in Pensacola. Still, their first-hand experiences provide empirical evidence to help you make the best decision for your home. Select a Roofer With Excellent Warranties. Most manufacturers cover the cost of replacing defective shingles for the first few years and then offer prorated coverage from that point on. If any shingles are found to be defective during the initial period, the manufacturer gives you replacement shingles at no cost. This initial coverage includes labor costs for installing the replacement shingles but doesn't cover the tear-off and disposal of the defective shingles. If a failure happens during the prorated period, you'll receive just a portion of the cost or a lesser amount of new shingles. Good roofing contractors furnish their customers with manufacturer guarantees. These guarantees confirm that you're covered if anything goes wrong with your shingles due to the fault of the manufacturer or the roofer. Select a Roofer With on-site Assignment Management. Some companies have a vendor who doubles as a project manager — and they're always pulled thin with multiple jobs at once. That leaves you to handle the roofing team throughout the building process. If you're paying thousands of dollars to get a new roof, you shouldn't have to lift a finger for the job to get done. The best Pensacola metal roofing companies have a project manager on-site to ensure things go smoothly. Select A Roofer With Great Partnerships. A high-quality hometown roofer should be dedicated to giving back to their society — usually through partnerships with community organizations or other reliable and reputable businesses in roofing companies in Pensacola. You usually won't have to ask your roofer about these partnerships — they're probably a big part of their marketing and efforts already. Select Your Leading Residential Roofing Experts It's hard to find a roofing team that fits the bill and offers you a great mix of quality, affordability, reliability and great customer service. It takes a lot of research, a lot of phone calls with potential roofers in Pensacola, Florida and a lot of trust in your gut. Fortunately, choosing a roofing contractor has always been challenging.

Best Scaffolding On Rent In Noida — Translite Scaffolding

If you are looking for scaffolding on rent in Noida, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you are working on a construction project, a renovation, or any other kind of high-altitude task, scaffolding plays an essential role in ensuring safety and efficiency. It provides workers with a secure platform to reach elevated areas and allows for better accessibility, making it a crucial part of many construction and maintenance activities.

In this article, we will guide you through everything you need to know about scaffolding on rent in Noida, and how you can find the best services for your project. We will also highlight Translite Scaffolding, a reliable name in the scaffolding rental business in Noida, known for its high-quality products and excellent customer service.

Why Should You Consider Scaffolding on Rent?

Before we dive into the details of finding scaffolding rental services, let’s first discuss why renting scaffolding is often a smart choice for both small and large projects.

Cost-Effective Solution Renting scaffolding is an affordable alternative to purchasing. If you’re working on a short-term project or a one-time job, it doesn’t make sense to invest in scaffolding equipment that will only be used for a few weeks or months. Renting helps you save on initial costs and maintenance fees.

No Maintenance Hassles When you rent scaffolding, you don’t have to worry about its upkeep, inspection, or storage. The rental company will take care of all the maintenance, ensuring that you receive equipment that’s safe and reliable.

Flexible Rental Periods Scaffolding rental services offer flexible rental terms that can be tailored to the duration of your project. Whether your project lasts a few days, weeks, or even months, you can easily find rental terms that suit your needs.

Access to High-Quality Equipment Leading companies that offer scaffolding on rent maintains high standards of quality, ensuring the equipment you receive is safe, durable, and compliant with safety regulations. This can be especially important if your project involves working at heights or requires specific types of scaffolding.

Easy Transportation and Setup Renting scaffolding from local suppliers in Noida means they will handle delivery, setup, and dismantling of the equipment. This can save you a lot of time and effort, allowing you to focus on the actual work at hand.

Types of Scaffolding Available on Rent in Noida

When it comes to scaffolding, there are different types designed for various applications. Depending on your project, the type of scaffolding you choose will vary. Here are some common types of scaffolding available for rent:

Frame Scaffolding This is one of the most common types of scaffolding used for general construction and maintenance tasks. Frame scaffolding consists of rectangular frames that are connected to form a stable platform. It is ideal for both residential and commercial projects.

Suspended Scaffolding Suspended scaffolding is suspended from a higher point, typically used for working on tall buildings or structures where other types of scaffolding may not be practical. It provides great flexibility and is adjustable, making it useful for tasks like window washing, painting, or maintenance on high-rise buildings.

Rolling Scaffolding Rolling scaffolding, also known as mobile scaffolding, is mounted on wheels, allowing for easy movement around a job site. This type of scaffolding is useful for tasks that require mobility, such as indoor painting, electrical work, and light construction projects.

Cantilever Scaffolding Cantilever scaffolding is supported from one side only and is typically used when it’s not possible to place scaffolding on the ground (like when working around obstacles). It is often used for maintenance work on bridges, towers, and other structures.

Tower Scaffolding Tower scaffolding is used for smaller jobs where you need a compact and portable platform. It’s often used in home repairs, painting, and decorating tasks, especially for accessing areas like roofs or higher windows.
